Crowell and is paying handsomely. 80 to

FINE HORSES.

The physicians of Yorkville have the finest,
sleekest, latest horses to be seen on the streets.
Strangers coming to town invariably conclude
that the members of our medical fraternity
are professional horse. .fanciers, and not un.
frequently sedate physicians are thus mista.
ken for patrons of the turf. The truth of the
matter, however, is satisfactorily explained by
an elderly physician of many years practice.
He says there is so little sickness in the coun.
ty that the doctors have nothing to do, and
consequently their horses have an easy time
having only to eat and wax fat. As to the
healthfulness of this county, the doctor is Ger.
tainly correct. This usually healthfal Sec
tion is unprecedented the present season. We
state on the authority of physician, that q
case of chills has never, to his knowledge,
originated within the corporate limits of
Yorkville. For the largest number of old
men (snd pretty women) York is the banner
county.

THE WRONG MAN, PROBABLY.


At the last term Of the Sessions Court,
negro named John Dee, was convicted of bur-
glariously entering the house of G. Knox Will
liams and stealing therefrom trunk of cloth.
ing. Dee was sentenced to the penitentiary
for term of three years. Since his transfer
to the penitentiary, negro named Jim Will
liams was committed to Jail, on the same
charge, having been found in possession of
some of the articles known to have been in
the stolen trunk. He does not deny the
charge, and says further that he was accom-
panied by Sam Smith aud his son Alec. Smith.
On the strength of this information, warrant
was issued for the arrest of the two Smiths,
and in default of bail they we're committed to
jail on Wednesday of last week. John Dee,
though now in the penitentiary, may be able
vet to establish his innocence. .n

THE COTTON CROP.
The receipts of cotton at this place during
the present season are considerably lighter
than they were up to the same date last year.
This is probably owing to the fact that the
crop is at least two weeks backward though
with the present favorable weather, much Of
the crop will be gathered and made ready for
market within the next few weeks. From
such Information as we can obtain from diff
ferent sections of the county, the crop is like
ly to make larger yield than was generally
though. before the picking season commen'
ced, while the lint is of fair quality.

United States in 1872 and shortly after came
to the District of Columbia, and has remained
here in the discharge of his duties; that dur
ing the interval from that period to the pres.
ent, he has visited South Carolina several
times, but that he has committed no crime in
the State, and that he has continued to reside
here temporarily as Senator, and, therefore,
it cannot be said, in the terms of the requisi-
ton, that be is fugitive from Justice. Sec.
ond, the term of the Court at which the in.
dictment was found was not the regular term
of the Court. 1t was not held at the time and
place authorized by law, and consequently
the finding is of no validity, and the indict-
ment on which the requsition was founded is
void. Judge Humphreys issued the writ Of
habeas corpus addressed to the coroner, who
served it on the Marshal, demanding that he
produce the body of Senator Patterson. The
Marshal, in obedience to the writ, did so.

who brought Either the requisition for Sena-

etc. AS it was now FIVE o'clock in the after
noon, and too late to proceed with the case,
it was stated by Judge Humphreys that, ow-
ing to his duties in Court, he could not hear
it until Wednesday. Mr.. Richbourg asked
that the hearing be postponed until Thursday,
so as to allow time for the arrival of the At
torney General of South Carolina. To this
the Judge could not accede, owing to the
pressure of other business on that day and the
remainder of the week. The result of the
conference was postponement until the 18th
inst, or two days after the meeting of the ex-
ira session of Congress. Senator Patterson
gave bail for his appearance, at that time, in
the sum of $1,000, livery G. Kimbal becom-

n. Y. Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
Quite sensation has been produced
In political circles here by two articles
In the New York Express Of yesterday
on Randall aud the Speakership. In
one Il reads the record on Randall for
tive columns and q halt to show that he
proved reCreant to his party during the
debate on the Electoral Bill, abused his
power and stultified his own rulings.
Then, IN q column editorial, 1t charges
him with being a Republican with all
that the name implies; with having la
bored entirely in the interest Of the
Republicans during the last session,
lays the responsibility for the Electoral
fraud and Hayes Inauguration at his
door, and denOunces him as unworthy
the support Of auy Democrat for the
Speakership or for any thing else. In
short, repUdiates him utterly, and
reads bim out Of the party 80 far as II
is concerned. The articles attract the
more attention as the Express is under
stood to be backed by TammAnY Hall
and to represent that wing Of the New
York Democracy.
From the above It appears that Tam
many is opposed to Mr.. Rsndall's
being elected Speaker again. The
Memphis Avalanche has charged ell
along that Mr.. Randsll was the Tam.
many candidate, aud now that the
Tammauy organ has attacked him, we
suppose the Avalanche will defend
him.
