MILITARY DECADENCE.

EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: Please allow me
few lines in your columns to call public atten-
ton to the shameful neglect of our local military
organization. The Adjutant and Inspector Cen
eral has appointed May 8, proximo, to meet our
company here, and the Jenkins Rifles are on the
ragged edge of dissolution. The readers of DR..
Moore's "reminiscences of York in your last is
sue, might justly ask whittier has flown tho
martial spirit which apparently pervaded this
vicinity in the last generation, when on the occa-
sion of the noble LaFayette's visit, eighty (sO(
uniformed men, mounted, at that on caparisoned
steeds went from here to Columbia to help hon.
or the hero. call for 80 such men now-in an
age boasting of transcendent progress-1 fear,
would prove as futile as calling spirits from the
vastly deep. 1t seems that they would not heed
the summons No desire for bloody warfare
permeates my own puny frame; much rather
prefer the more peaceful arts of merchandising.
But, few doubt the propriety of an efficient mill
tia. The wisest mind which ever appeared in
these terrestrial embodiments-save one, the all
wise-tells us that there is time for everything.
we'll disciplined company could not only be
made enjoyable and improving, but might at
some time be of great use and even dire neces-
sty. Shall we meet Gen. Manigault properly on
May s, or not? If not we forfeit to the State our
guns, etc., and the Jenkins Rifles will probably
be no more. Besides, we lose our share of the
money appropriation of the Legislature. Sup
pose our paraphernalia are given to colored
company because we will not use them. Such
thing is not impossible. Now is most oppor-
tune time for new membership. The financial
problem-generally the main obstacle-ls solved.
We have very slightly outfit paid for. The ex-
penses need only be nominal Our only want IS
staunch members.
Fellow citizens, the good name Of our commu-
nifty is somewhat at stake. Young men, come to
the rescue Let us raise up, with untarnished hue
the White Rose Of York. Yours respectfully,

and was made entire by the trimmer, is denoml-
mated the Mammoth" not from its huge pro-
portions, but in consonance with the nameof the
tony house it so creditably represents. The

On Thursday night last, the Vestry of
the Protestant Episcopal Church at Tama--
qua, Pa, voted to close their church and
dismiss their pastor, the Rev. w. R. Burk,
because he persisted in marrying against
their wishes. The rector is a resolute,
independent and courageous man, who
has preached eloquently, it is said, and
whose character is above reproach. When
few weeks ago he announced his intention
of marrying, the name of the bride caused
a commotion among some members of the
congregation, who held that she was not a
fit associate for them or fit wife for their
pastor. The Vestry protested, but the mar
riage was celebrated and the congregation
absented itself from the wedding.

this place, announcing the death in Columbia, on

time was engaged in farming. He was licensed
as local minister and placed in charge Of the
Barnwell circuit which he served acceptably for
one year. At the Annual conference in Green
vile in 1882, he was received in full connection
with that body and filled several appointments
with great satisfaction. For the last three years
his health having failed him, he was supernu-
merary The disease which terminated his life
was consumption of the bowels He leaves a
widow and one child, a daughter. He was

. CONTRACT AWARDED.

The contract for painting the Court House was
awarded on Monday last by the County Com
missioners to Nelson Davies, his bid, 1865 for
furnishing all materials and performing the
work according to the written specifications,
being the lowest of three proposals submitted.
The house is to be repainted, inside and out.
The exterior of tho walls will be in imitation OF
English brown stone, the surroundings painted
in colors to harmonize with it, and besides re-
painting all the interior wood work, the interior
walls and ceilings are to be calsomined with
the best quality of material. The price at which
the work is undertaken seems quite reasonable,
ard the contractor has the skill to do creditabe
piece of work.

| EX-MARSHAL BLYTHE'S IROUBLE.-A
Washington dispatch says: it has been as
certained at the department of justice that
the charges against ex-Marshal Blythe and
his deputy, A. E. Philippy, originated
| from the rendering of false and actual ex-
pense accounts, in which he charged larger
sums than were actually expended. An in
vestigation was ordered by the department
last May and has been continued until
now, so that all the facts might be brought
out. Blythe also took credit for payments
which he did not actually make in his dis
bursement account. He also misapplied
public funds. For instance, funds were
turned over to him for certain appropria-
ton, but he misapplied them and rendered
false weekly statements to cover his tracks.
In the case of the deputies the same old
charges were made of disbursements for
services never rendered. Meals would be
charged which were not furnished, and the
cost of guards for prisoners who never ac-
which was not furnished.
In the case Phillippy he would send for
a man to come and see him and would then
charge the Government for the transporta-
tion, guard, meals, &C., which were never
furnished. From all accounts he has sue
ceeded in making his escape into Mexico,
and it is considered doubtful if he can be
reached by the process of law. There is no
doubt that there is a good case against
Blythe and Phillippy and the amount dis
allowed in the Marshal's account will run
up into thousands. It is proposed to 60
ahead and try these cases as speedily as pos
sible
