ADDRESS FROM THE DEMOCRATIC EX.
EgUFIvE COMMITTEE.

To the Democratic Voters Of York County,:
Your Executive Committee adopt this method
of impressing upon you the Importance Of
casting a full vote on the Goth instant. Re-
member that yours is willy foe, and that
his strength consists in your apathy You

that fact to stand out in bold relief. We can
not say when you will find that foe again at
tempting to rear it's hideous head, but this we
know-it aciU he when you exhibit signs of being
hlled into sleep, md 1t arill come 'cithout
1carning. To you, then-to each one of YOU
we appeal, and say, work, work Let the
Goth be one of the marked days on your
political calendar, and your nominee receive
that vote which shall preserve to you the hard
fought victory Of 1876. Remember, too, his
contribution to that victory, and let 1882
compare well with 1876 1t is meet that it
should do so. w. B. SMITH,
Acting County Chairman.

THE MORMONS.

From what we are able to learn, the Nor
mon "elders" who are trampoosing in the up
per section of the county and the adjoining
counties in North Carolina, are not meeting
with much encouragement, though of course
they have hearers at their ''preaching'' places,
and have probably received some converts to
their peculiar faith, who, to their great edl-
fication, no doubt, are occasionally "blessed
by the laying on of hands,
Meetings have been appointed recently to be
held at the house of one Emil Lougand, a
Frenchman, living on the lands of Mrs +. NJ.
Farris. about three miles northeast OF Bethany
Church. Mrs. Farrs claims the right to con-
troll the premises occupied by Lougand, and
some days ago she took legal steps to prevent
the assemblage of persons on her property Dy
posting on the premises notice to that effect
on Saturday the 3rd instant, the day preced-
ing an appointment to ''preach' there by ''el-
ders'' Carpenter and Burton. 1t is charged
that Lougand tore this notice down soon after
it was posted. But she also gave the "elders"
verbal notice. They passing by her house on
Saturday afternoon she hailed them and made
known the action she had taken, and gave
them notice that it was contrary to her will
that they should hold any more meetings on
her land. With the most affected sanctimo-
niousness, one of them asked, "What do you
object to the word of God being preached on
YOUR land 9'' Contrary to Woman's usual tac-
tics in such cases. Mrs Farris declined to ar
que the question, but peremptorily forbid the
meeting The ''elders'' went on, however,
and on the following day held a meeting out
of doors, about 100 yards from Lougand's
house, but on Mrs Farris' land. The meeting
was slimly attended, there being but about
dozen present, some of whom were colored,

MOSES IN M1sERY.-Franklin J. Moses, the
Republican Ex-Governor OF South Carolina,
who has been confined in the Tombs for the
past three months, awaiting trial for the char
ges against him for obtaining money under
false pretences, was yesterday arragned before
Judge Gildersleeve, in the court of General
Sessions. On February II, last, Moses called
on DR.. Nathan Bozeman, at his residence, 296
Fifth avenue, and representing himself to be
DR.. l.. F. Steiner, of Augusta, Ga, said that
he was on his way to Chicago, that he was
son of Dr. H. II. Steiner, both of whom are
reputable and well known Georgia gentlemen.
DR.. Bozeman believing the story of Moses,
who said he desired to borrow only enough to
pay his hotel bill here and his railway fare to
Chicago, gave him check on the Second Ma
tional Bank for S32. Soon afterward DR..
Bozeman learned through Mrs. Roland Steiner
that there was no such person as DR.. +. L..
Steiner in Augusta, and no relative OF that
name in the family. From description given
by the Doctors servant, Moses was arrested
and identified as the man who called on him
under the name of DR.. Steiner He was COM
mitted for trial in default of $500 bail. In
dctments were found against him for obtain
ing money under false pretenses; for obtain
ing $3.50 from Edgar W. Crowell, to whom ne
represented nlulSeli w uo 11nUholy "hi.o, q
merchant Of Greenville, S. c., and on whom
he passed worthless check on the Greenville
National Bank, and for swindling VIM. l..
Hall, of No. East Tenth street, to whom he
pretended to give information that would lead
to the recovery of quantity of diamonds al
legged to have been stolen by one Pin White.
When arraigned, on the 9Th instant, before
Gilderseeve, Moses presented a very shabby
appearance. Since his incarceration short,
scraggy, gray beard has grown and his appear
ance was anything but healthy. When called
upon to answer to the three indictments he
pleaded guilty to the first, charging him with
defrauding DR.. Bozeman. He was immediate
ly sentenced to six months in the penitentiary
without remarks from counsel or Judge, AT
the end of the six months Moses will be taken
to Brooklyn, to answer charges against him
for swindling in that city, where he reprented
himself to be brother of Governor Colquitt,
of GeOrria.

MCCONNELLsvILLE,S S. c., June 12.-Know-
ing that education should be the most inter-
esting and important topic that could occupy
the minds of our people, I take pleasure in
giving you short account of the examination
exercises of Mr.. W. N. Elders school at this
place, on Wednesday last, 7th instant. The
occasion was honored by a full attendance of
the good people of McConnellsville and vicini-
ty.
The exercises of the day were commenced
by thorough examination of the whole school.
from the A, B, c pupils to the classics. The
pupils acquitted themselves with credit, show
ing the efficient manner in which they had
been drilled by their capable and worthy
teacher.
After the examination of the school, dinner
was announced. It is needless to say that the
community lost none of their prestige for hos
pitality and knowing how to minister to the
comforts of the inner man, for which it has
been so long noted.
After about two hours devoted to dinner
and recreation, order was called, and the read
ing of compositions and spelling were com
menced. The compositions were creditable to
those who wrote them, and in one or two In
stances were very good.
The speeches were very well rendered, and
in some instances showed unmistakable eyl'
dence of considerable oratorical powers on the
part of those delivering them. Master Man
ME Moore delivered the valedictory address in
manner that would do credit to older heads
both in matter and manner.
The teacher, Mr.. Elder, was introduced by
Master Mamie Moore, in few we'll chosen
and appropriate words. Mr.. Mr.. Elder was
listened to with marked attention as he dwell
ed upon the difficulties which surround the
teacher, parent and pupil. His remarks were
eminently practical, conveying much that was
important and instructive to his hearers.
Rev. J. Lowre Wilson was called upon, who
responded in very appropriate address, deliv'
cred in his own happy and inimitable style
and after his address the exercises Of the day
were brought to close X.
