be used as candidate for United States Sen
ator. Gen. Conner favors the election Of
Governor Hampton.
- In the lower part of the State, number
of Democrats have been arrested on the
charge of intimidating Radical voters. 1t
seems, however, that the Radicals are guilty
of the same offence The following are in
stances: Granville Pool, of Society Hill, has
been deposed from his position as deacon i'll
the colored Baptist Church, because he voted
the Democratic ticket at the late election.

Townsend to two years in the county Jail and
to pay fine of $4,000, or in default of the
payment of the fine, to an additional years

The Ryans failed to meet their appointment
at this place Oh Monday night. On account Of
bad weather, the first of last week, they were
compelled to remain over or lose their engage

THANKSGIVING.

On Thanksgiving day services were held in
the Church of the Good Shepherd, Rev. R. P.
Johnson, rector; and in the Presbyterian
church, Rev. l.. H. Wilson, pastor. Secular
business was not suspended in town to any
considerable extent; but on this point we
are not going to cast the first stone. With
the typographical profession this is the busiest
season of the year, and we presume the same
may be said of all other business pursuits, pos.
sibly excepting the ice man, who, however,
turns his hand to something else in cool wealth.
er. We plead guilty of omission, both as to
attending church and eating thanksgiving
turkey, though we are thankful all the same
for the blessings vouchsafed us.

THE M. F.. CHURCH.

DR.. Meynardie, Presiding Elder of this dis
trict, visited Yorkville, Saturday, on his last
round for the present conference year. On
Sunday forenoon he preached to the congrega,
tion, but on account of the heavy rain which
descended in the evening, preventing service
at all the churches, he did not preach in the
evening and administer the sacrament of the
Lords Supper, as had been appointed for him.
The annual conference Of the NJ. E. Church
will meet in Newberry on the 18th instant,
Bishop Pierce to preside. Rev. Thomas E.
Gilbert, who for the past year has acceptably
served as pastor of the Yorkville congrega'
tion, took his departure for the conference
yesterday morning. We understand it to be
the unanimous desire of his membership that
he be returned to this station next year.

DEATH OF DR.. Il. l.. LOVE.

We regret to announce the death OF DR.. K.
L. Love, which occurred at his residence, neal
McConnellsville, in this county, on Tuesday,
the 26th ultimo. AS our readers are aware,
his friends were not unprepared for the disso'
luton, his health having been feeble for some
time previous to the climax of his disease,
which assumed the form of apoplexy.
DR.. Love was gentleman of fine traits OF
character and>was held in universal esteem by
all who knew him. AS physician he was
skillful and benevolent, always ready to aid
the needy and unfortunate, by many Of which
class his loss will be sorely felt. He was, to
the extent of his ability, the poor mans best
friend, never withholding his professional SER
vices when asked by the most humble. AS
mark of their affection, his last remains were
followed to the tomb by large number OF
colored people Of that vicinity, who were sim
cere mOurners over his demise.

SALES.DAY.

SALES-DAY.
On Monday last-sales-day for December
there was an unusually large attendance OF
people in town. 1t being leisure time with
the farmers, many doubtless attended in &C
cordance with the traditional custom, which
previous to the war, distinguished the last
and first sales-days as the largest and most
important of the year. Others came to swap
horses, and we entertain not the slightest doubt
but some very good trades and correspond
ing number of exceedingly bad ones in horse
fesh were made by the professional and anna
teur spectators in equine stock, who would
conclude that quite serious omission had oc-
CURED, were they to permit sales-day to pass
without the usual amount of badgering and
bantering necessary to consummate swap, ="
and which seems 50 essentially concomitant
of the successful horse-trader's art. But
while the horse-trader was present in his spen-
dor, and while men of leisure were knocking
around loose or "tight' as the case may be,
many others were attracted by the large num-
Der of sales advertised to take place. And
lust here we would remark that the sales Of
Monday by no means indicate unusual strin-
gency or disastrous times, as those not CONVEX
SAINT with the facts might infer, but by far the
largest amount of real estate was sold as the
unavoidable and only means of settling estates.
The Judge of Probate sold the lands of the
estate of w. I. Clawson, deceased. This prop
erty comprised some twenty-four tracts or
parcels, a complete list of which with the pur-
chasers could not be furnished by the Probate
Court in time for publication this week.
J. P. Moore, assignee IN re- Benson F.
Hardin, bankrupt, sold three tracts of land
belonging to the bankrupt estate bought by
j. L. Guy.
Richard Kendrick and S. Younts, trustees,
sold, to foreclose mortgage, the lands OF A. M.
Kee and others. Bought by S. A. Kell for
$3.50.
The homestead of Leander Dobson, deceas-
ed, was bid in by the heirs of the deceased.
j. F. Wallace, Clerk of the Court, by a de-
cree to forclose mortgage, at the suit of j. V.
McFadden Is. John Williams, sold tract of
p acres, mortgaged by the defendant. Bought
by j. V. McFadden for S1.25 per acre.
The Sheriff sold one tract of ia acres, levied
on as the property of T. T. Gwinn. Bought
by S. Rufus Moore for $40.
THE DUELLO.
For several days previous to it's occurrence,
our citizens were aware that hostile meeting
was pending between James L. Wilson, ESQ.,,
of this place, and Mr.; Geo. M Saunders, of
Sumter The origin of the difficulty, which
eliminated in a meeting of the parties near
Pineville, in Mecklenburg county, N. c., on
Wednesday of last week, was at the fair in
Columbia, three weeks ago, when misunder-
arose between them in regard to
horse race. On this occasion hot words passed
between them, though friends interfered and
they were separated.
On the night of that day, Saunders ap-

copyright in its largest sense The third section is
to consider domestic questions the position Of liter
ature and literary men in our days, the formation
of associations for the protection of literary rights
and the relations which ought TO exist between
such associations in different countries Members
were allowed to join whichever commission
OF section they preferred The second meeting on
Thursday was mainly occupied with business mat
ters. At its conclusion, the sections separated, and
each entered upon the discussion of its own subject
As 1t seems to be understood that these section
debates are private until conclusion is
reached. l content myself with remarkinG
that the subject Of international copyright,
which was Immediately entered upon, gave rise to
an animated, not TO say stormy scene, due not to
any difference of opinion but to a strong phrase or
two from NJ. About's mouth, which brought half a
dozen Italians TO their feet. Of this and other mat
ters shall be at liberty to say something by next
post. G. w. S.
