LETTER FROM CHESTER.
CHESTER, S. C

CHESTER, 5. o., April ~, 1879.
The present prospect for finishing the Che
raw and Chester Railroad to Lancaster, at an
early day, is very promising. President Har-
din finds ready sale for the first mortgage
bonds of the road, having sold, recently,
$4,000 worth, the greater amount of which
was taken in Chester county.
A large force of hands is now at work on
Fishing creek bridge, and when it is com.
pleted, which it is thought will be by the 1st
of July, they will Immediately commence
work on the Catawba river bridge.
During the past week there has been &c.
ries of Interesting meetings conducted at the
Presbyterian church, by the pastor, Rev. G..
A. Trenholm, assisted by Revs. E. Brantly
and Douglass Harrison. On Saturday, the
venerable w. S. Plumer, D. D., arrived from
Columbia and preached that night. Again
on Sunday, he delivered an able sermon from
Isaiah xl 4: /, after which the Lords Supper
was administered to a large portion Of the
congregation.
On to morrow night the Sons Of Temper
ance will have public meeting in the Court
House. The Chester Division will be joined

Believing there is not a family in the country
who would not like one of these convenient
Scales, if they could be obtained at low price,
we have made arrangements with the Manufactu-
rers 80 that for the next 60 days we can furnish
one of these Scales and the YORKVILLE EN-
QUIRER for one year, for 81. so, being nearly one

ished, and fully warranted by the CHICAGO
SCALE co. to be accurate and durable, and is
particularly adapted to the use of Farmers or
others to whom it is desirable to know the correct
weight of any article from half ounce to 240
pounds. Upon receipt Of the above amount, our
paper will be sent regularly, postage paid) for
one year and the Scale shipped by freight, secure
ly. boxed, to any address. All old subscribers

from States ruled by thieves and cut-throats,
who know no means of getting their bread
except by robbing their neighbors."
After regrets at his inability to be present.
William Lloyd Garrison wrote in the follow
ing ridiculous strain:
"The spectacle of thousands of halfnaked,
empty.handed, despairing men. women and
children fleeing as for their lives from one
part of the country to another, preferring to
risk starvation and death by the way rather
than remain where they naturally belong, is
one calculated to move plying Heaven and
to awaken all that is sympathetic and gener-
Gus in the human breast. Their claims for
immediate charitable relief are equally just
and imperative In these Southern States
conspiracy and usurpation successfully bear
sway. In all the late Rebel States there
scarcely exists single legitimate State ad-
ministration; for no election has been per-
mitted without being controlled more or less
by fraud, intimidation and lawlessness 1t IS
clear that the battle of liberty and equal
rights is to be fought over again, not in
party sense in the ordinary use of that term,
but by the uprising and consolidating OF a
loyal, freedom-loving North, overwbelmingin
numbers, determined in purpose, invincible In
action. and supreme in patriotism, based up
on impartial Justice and an all.embracing cit
izenship While therefore grave, exciting
and relatively important as the present exo-
dus of a few thousands Of colored refugees
from Mississippi and Louisiana may be, it Is
only an incident of the hour, demanding sue.
cor and aid in various forms, until they have
time to select their dwelling-places. But
what of the four millions of colored people in
the entire South Their exilement is ques-
ton not to be seriously entertained for mo-
ment, either as desirable or possible event.
The American government is but mockery
and deserves to be overthrown, if they are to
be left without protection as sheep in tho
midst of wolves. Let the edict 60 forth,
trumpet tongued, that there shall be q speedy
end put to all this bloody misrule; and let
the rallying cry be heard from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast: Liberty and equal
rights for each, for all, and forever, wherever
the lot of man is cast, within our broad do
mains.
On the following day similar meeting
was held in Boston, at which ex-Secretary
Boutwell, made the principal speech. Like
other speakers at similar meetings, he sought
to give the matter political turn. He de.
clared, amongst other things that "hencefor-
ward the policy of the Republican party must
be distinct, courageous and aggressive" a
declaration which was received with great
applause, and when voice called out from
the floor, "that's the doctrine" the demonstra-
tion. was repeated. 1t is added in dispatch
to the New York Times, that the mention of
Gen. Grants name was "the signal always for
prompt and hearty applause" The dispatch
fails to state, however, whether or not dol
lar was subscribed for the destitute colored
people in Kansas.

public generally are invited to attend. An
address on the subject of temperance will be
delivered by Judge Mackey.
Mr.. G. 81. Brennecke has been unfortunate
recently. About week ago, his horse, on
entering the stable, struck his head against
the door facing, fracturing the skull, and rem
dering ituseless probably. for some time. Mr.:
Brennecke then procured horse from the
livery stable, and on Friday last, while stand
ing hitched to the wagon in front Of the ex-
press Office, it took fright and ran of, break
ing the wagon all to pieces. This is quite
loss to Mr.. B., and the community sympa-
thise with him.
On Sunday last, Mrs. G. W. Melton's car
riage horses took fright, while she was on the
way to church, and upset the carriage. For
tunately the lady was only slightly hurt, and
but little damage otherwise was done.
Last night, at Mr.. M. S. Hardin's planta-
ton, on Broad river, in this county, a diff
Guilty arose between George Carter and Perry
Hughes, both colored, in regard to fish
basket. In the alteration Hughes was stab

he died in few hours. Carter was arrested
and is now in Jail.
A fishing party went to- Catawba Falls last
week, among them our friends, r. M. Cross
and H. w. Hafner They caught good
supply of fish, which they literally shared
with their friends on their return. Besides
other adventures on the excursion, they saw
countless numbers of snakes. This is regard
ed as strange, as Mr.. Cross is strict Son Of
Temperance, and the oldest inhabitants say
they have not "seen snakes" there in many
years. Perhaps the bait was magni6ed to
such proportions as to resemble snakes.
The Lee Light Infantry paraded last Fri
day. Their epaulets are decided improve
ment to their uniforms, and the men made
soldierly display, executing several maneu-
vres under command of Lieut.. M. H. Hunter.

The ssLittle Detective"

There is hardly house-keeper who has not, at
times, had suspicious of short weights from
butchers, grocers, or others, but with no means
of testing, they have been obliged to take articles
as they were dealt out to them. There has never
been any suitable Scale made for housekeepers,
or if there was, the price was too high. Seeing
the great want of something of this kind, which
could be furnished at low price, the Chicago
Scale Company, of Chicago, Illiaois, have been
to great expense in preparing to manufacture a
housekeeper's Scale. weighing from ounce to 25
pounds, which they will sell for $500, being equal
to anything of the kind that has ever sold before
for three times that amount It is made with a
brass beam, steel bearings. nicely finished, and is
warranted perfect. Every family should have
one It is also the most convenient Scale for any
most Office or business office for weighing mail
matter, etc. Boxed, they weigh 10 pounds, and
are sent by express.-Ihe interior, Chicago.
