PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

In the Senate on the 10th, number of
memorials on various subjects were presented
and referred. A number of bills were passed
among them one appropriating $4,000 to en-
able the United States to be represented at
the International Fishery Exhibition at Ber-
lin and one appropriating $1,000 to defray
the expense of transporting the body of Gen.
George Sykes, late of the u. S. Army, from
Fort Brown, Texas, to West Point.
In the House, Mr.. Conger, of Michigan,
from the committee on ways and means, re-
ported back the bill for the relief of colored
emigrants. Passed. 1t provides that all
charitable contributions imported for the
relief of colored persons who have emigrated
from their homes to other States, shall be ad-
mitted free of duty, the act to take effect
and to remain in force until
February 1st, 1881. The House then re-
sumed consideration of the bill to settle titles
to lands in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Messrs.
Chambers, of Mississippi; Hawley, of Con-
nectcut; White, Of Pennsylvania; Dunnel,
of Minnesota and Conger, of Michigan, spoke
in opposition to the bill, on the ground that
it was bill for the relief Of claimants, who
had been living on the Government. and who
now wanted to get for $4,000, property
worth 100000. Messrs. Converse, Of Ohio !;
Dunn, of Arkansas and Wright, of Pennsyl-
vania, spoke in favor of the bill, after which
the previous question was seconded, and the
bill passed by vote of 125 to 121. Mr.

The question of whether or not the stock law,
which was adopted by one township in Cas-
ton county, should be put in operation at once,
or not until January 1st, 1881, was to have
been decided by the commissioners of that
county in special session yesterday. From a
private letter from Dallas written Monday
evening, it is learned that there was strong
probability that the law would be declared to
be operative from the time of It's adoption.
The people of CASTOR have been very much
exercised over the matter, and it has been for
weeks leading topic of conversation in that
county.

THE WHEAT PEST.

1t is thought by several farmers with whom
we have conversed, that theay, or grasshopper,
has not inflicted such serious injury to the
growing wheat as was at first supposed. Since
the rains of last week, we learn that several
fields, cut down by the pest, have grown up
fresh and green, with vigorous plant which
bids fair to grow to maturity

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, S. c., February 17.-For the
past week we have had fine weather for farm
and garden work. Business, too, has been
lively. A considerable quantity of cotton was
sold, the highest price obtained being l23.
good many Of our farmers report that
the fly is still very destructive to wheat and
oats. Mr. T. j. Lucas, of West Chester, says
that on examining his fields, be found three
varieties-a light black, brown and green
insect, which is probably typical of the three
political parties-Democrat, Republican and
Greenbacker. Mr.. Brennecke says he will
name the horse that draws his express wagon
"Hessian Fly" because be is death on oats.
Last Thursday morning, about 2 o'clock, an
attempt was made to burn the store of r. G..
M. Alexander, near the depot. The object is
supposed to have been for the purpose of
plundering Fortunately the fire was discov-
cred in time to be extinguished with q few
buckets of water, otherwise it might have prov
ed a destructive fire. Mr.. Alexander's loss
would have been heavy, as he had no insur-
ance.
On the same night the kitchen of Nichol.
sons hotel was entered and robbed, and lot
of crockery broken. Also, on the same night,
depredations were committed at the Cotton
Hotel, and at restaurant in town.

THE ADVANCE IN PRICES.

There has recently been steady, but de-
cidedly perceptible advance in the price of
almost every article of consumption -espe-
cially in manufactures; but in none has the
advance been so marked as in the article of
printing paper and other materials used in
the publication of newspaper. And unlike
an advance in the price of articles of mer-
chandise generally, which may be sold in &C.
cordance with the cost of production, the ad-
vance in white paper entails q positive loss
upon the publisher, who one or two months
ago, received subscription in advance for
which he agreed to furnish his paper for one
year. While as yet the prices have not spe'
cially affected the country press, the city dali
lies of the West and North, are already be-
ginning to feel the pressure, and are govern
ing themselves accordingly, either by redu-
cling the size of their sheets or increasing SUBJ
scription prices. How the burden of the ad'
vance in paper is to be borne is subject of
serious discussion in the press. The most
practicable manner yet proposed is that sug-
gested by the Ne,os and Courier of Saturday,
which is simply for Congress to make reduc-
ton of duties on chemicals used by manufac-
turers. Many of the articles used in the
manufacture of paper are either imported, or
by high rate of duty, the importation of
them inhibited, thereby giving monopoly to
limited number of home manufacturers.
The arguments are strong in favor of the re-
duction of duties on these special articles,
and unless this, or something else is done to
lessen the cost Of white paper, a general ad-
vance in subscription prices is inevitable.

CENTENNIAL PROCEEDINGS.

We shall have special reporter at Kings
Mountain on Friday and Saturday next, and
besides full report of the proceedings of the
committees of the Centennial Association on
Friday, and the exercises pertaining to the Gel
ebration of Washington's birthday on Satur-
day, we will also give in the next issue of the
ENQUIRER full report of the oration to be
delivered on that occasion by Col. Thos. Har-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1880-02-19
THE CELEBRATION NEXT SATURDAY.

Elsewhere, we publish important notices
relative to the celebration of Washington s
birthday at Kings Mountain On Saturday
next, which will be the precursor of the grand
centenary celebration in October. There is
mistaken notion with some persons that the
celebration of Washington's birthday will not
take place on Saturday; but the official no.
tices of the Secretary of the Centennial Asso-
citation will set this matter at rest, and pre-
vent confusion. The members of the various
committees of the Association are requested
to meet at Kings Mountain Station on Fri
day, the 10th, for the transaction of business
in connection with the centennial celebration /;
but this meeting of the committees will in no
way interfere with the exercises of the next
day.
While there is every indication that Satur-
day will be grand day at the Pinnacle, we
are pleased to note the growing interest mani
tested in our own and adjoining States in
the approaching centennial celebration. AS
will be remembered by the correspondence
we published last week, Tennessee led off,
through her Legislature, in recognition of the
coming event the Governor and other Off
cials-civil and military-of North Carolina
are alive to the Importance of the event to be
comm. morated; Georgia will do her full share
in making it a complete success Virginia,
too, will be fully represented and we think
there will be no supineness on the part of our
own State. The special committee of the
State Senate, to whom was referred the COM
munications of the Governors of North Caro-
lima and Tennessee relative to the celebration,
have recommended an appropriation of 81 900
for the object, and it is probable that amount
at least, will be appropriated. True, the
amount is small, yet it will augment the vol.
untary contributions already making for the
purpose; and however opposed we may be to
the spirit of making appropriations of public
money for objects outside the legitimate ex-
penses of State government, yet we can see
no improperly in an appropriation for this
purpose, nor do we think the taxpayers would
complain of the pittance which the appropria-
ton, if allowed, will entail. Nor should
the necessary aid stop with State appropria-
tion. The event to be celebrated is eminently
a national one, and it is the duty of Congress
to make liberal appropriation, which we
have do doubt that body will do if the ques-
ton is properly brought before it.

full share toward making the celebration a

WEIGHING THE MAILS.

The regulations Of the postofice department
require that the contracts with railroad COM
panies for carrying the mails shall be renewed
or modified every four years. These contracts
are based on weights made every four years,
for one month on all lines. 1t has been
only three years since the last weighing, but
on account of the increase Of mails in the
Southern States, the railroad companies asked
that the time be advanced one year, and the
postofice department has consented to the
change. The weighing began on the Chester
and Lenoir Railroad yesterday, and will con-
tinue for thirty days.
