LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, April 1.-THE skating rink at
this place was the scene of great enjoyment
on last Wednesday evening. A large crowd
attended the merry OCCASION. A consider
able number of the young people, both
young ladies and young gentlemen, appear
ed in masque, their gay costumes lending
additional brillancy to the occasion. The
principal feature of the evenings entertain
ment was the competition for the prizes
Il gold medal to the best gentleman skater
and q perfumery case to the best lady skat-
er. Mr.. Edward Curry won the gold medal,
and Miss Emma Lewis, the pertumery case.
While they were the successful competitors,
the skating was beautiful, and was greatly
admired by the spectators The receipts of
the evening highly pleased the managers Of
the rink.
Chester has lost one of her young ladies.
On last Wednesday Miss Florence Babcock
was united in marriage to Mr.. John p.
Gage, formerly of Rock Hill, but now Of
Union. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Mr.. Joyner, of Yorkville. Shortly
after the marriage the newly welded couple
took the train for Union.
The oil mill is endeavoring to do all the
work it can before the close of the season:
1t runs night and day and turns out about
800 gallons of oil in twenty-four hours. The
mill finds ready sale for its oil and fertil-
Zer. The sale of the latter about keeps
apace with its manufacture. The greater
portion of it is shipped away.
On last Thursday an old colored wom-
an, Sindy Boo, was run over by a freight
train at this place, and fatally injured. She
was gathering chips under the train and
while intently engaged in this work did
not observe the train move until 1t was too
late for her to escape receiving mortal in
juries. The left leg below the knee was
amputated as soon as medical aid could be
obtained. She died on Friday night. Her

THE COTTON SUPPLY.

During the past five weeks the cotton re-
ceipts from the plantations have steadily
declined from 1868 bales to 14,934. Last
year at this time the receipts were q ,29O
bales, and the year previous they were 6S,-
sS9. The cotton is about all out of the coun-
try, and the crop thus far in sight foots up
only 5,4SO,252 bales, against 6,461 ,4S1 bales
two years ago. The southern mills have
taken 10000 bales less than last year, and
the northern mills $4,000 less. The stock
of East India and other foreign cottons is
lower than ever before at this season, being
only $4,000 bales against 7O9,0 900 last year,
while the American stock is $4,000 bales
less than last year. In 1882, when the en-
tire stock was 277,OOO bales greater than
now, the price was II cents higher, but
then cotton goods were much higher.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

An interesting case was determined in the
Court of Common Pleas for Richland coun-
ty, last Thursday, Judge Witherspoon pre-
siding, which will bring the question of the
constitutionality of the railroad law square,
ly before the Supreme Court. The rail-
road law provides that the entire expenses
of the Railroad Commission, including all
salaries and expenses of every kind, shall
be borne by the several corporations owning
or operating railroads within this State, ac-
cording to their gross incomes. Under this
act the Columbia and Greenville Railroad
Company was assessed 1865, which was
paid into the treasury of Richland county
under protest. Suit was brought to recover
the amount. The railroad company's attor-
ney, John G. Haskell, and the States attor-
ney, C. r. Miles, ably argued the case, at
the conclusion of which Judge Witherspoon
gave it as his opinion that the act was un-
constitutional and directed the jury to find
for the plaintiff. An appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court.

death was the result of her own careless

ness.
The colored Baptists of Chester have re.
Gently completed a neat and substantial
church building. 1t is located on desira-
BILE lot within a short distance of the depot,
and in close proximity to the colored Pres
byterian church. Its completion bears tes-
timony to the infexible purpose of the COL
ored Baptists to have church. undismay-
ed by their past misfortune in the destruc-
ton Of two churches, they have struggled
on with one heart and one mind until now
they can rejoice in the fruit of their labors.
They deserve great credit for the persisten-
CIV of their efforts.
Mr.. James Morrow, of this county, de-
parted this life on last Wednesday,. He
died at a good old age, having passed the
allotted period of three score years and ten.
Messrs. Lumpkin & Bryce have erected
a commodious warehouse at the depot for
storage purposes. The dimensions are 80
by 100 feet. The use made of it by our own
merchants shows that it meets a want long
felt by the mercantile community.
No material damage was done by the
frost on last Saturday morning. Several
farmers with whom I talked on the subject
gave this as their opinion.
A colored man was brought to town on
Sunday and lodged in Jail, charged with
stealing bacon from Mrs. f. A. Holley.

THE ILLINOIS DEADLOCK.

The contest for the Senatorship has been
going on in the Illinois Legislature for more
than month, the candidates being General
John A. Logan, Republican, and Col. VIM.
R. Morrison, Democrat. Neither get a ma
jority. Gen. Logan has evidently been
soured by the long contest and the hope de-
ferred. Replying to a charge of Mayor Car
ter Harrison, of Chicago, on the 4th, that he
had been party to fraudulent arrange
ment to secure the election, Gen. Logan
said:
~ denounce Mayor Harrison as uttering
an infamous falsehood. He is vile, infa-
nous liar, a poltroon and coward"
On Saturday IA Senators and 81 Repre-
sentatives were present in the joint assem-
bly,. Morrison received 10 votes, Black 9,
Streeter 9, and Logan 2.

Nelson, on Sunday the 9Th instant, killed
negro on the Texas bank of the river, and
Immediately after crossed over to the Lou
isiana side. Major Truet, Texas justice Of
the peace, came over to I1ogansport, and,
seeing Nelson there, authorized man nam
ed Ringgold to arrest him. Both men had
shot-guns, and when Nelson saw what was
likely to happen he started to run, but was
overtaken and shot dead by Ringgold.
Ringgold at once recrossed the river and

District Attorney Pugh states that there
have been thirty-eight men killed in and
around Logansport since the war, and not
one man has been arrested therefor. 1t is
thought now to change this rule, and that
vigorous effort will be made to arrest at
least one Logansport murderer, just for the
novelty of the thing,

THE WAR BEGUN.

The news from England for the last few
days is of an interesting and exciting char
acter. The clash of arms which has for
some time been anticipated has taken place
on the Afghan frontier, between the Rus
SLAMS and Afghans, and according to the
reports there was desperate fighting. The
interesting feature of this contest is that it
involves England and may precipitate hos
tilities between that power and Russia.
The news of the conflict which reached
England created no little excitement, and
the expression of opinion was that war was
inevitable, and that preparation for it must
be made at once. In consequence of the
warlike news from England there has been
a slight advance in the provision markets
of the United States. In the event of war,
bread and meat will 60 up, and cotton down.

THE MANITOBA REBELLION.

The revolt of the half-breedS in the cana
dian Northwest has reached serious dimen-
sions, and there has already been considera-
BILE loss of life. There are fears OF a general
uprising of the Indians in the region of the
revolt, and the indications are that much
blood will be shed before peace can be re-
stored. The trouble grows out of the ar
rangements made by the Dominion Govern
ment in regard to land division and tenure,
which have worked badly. 1t is claimed
on the part of the insurrectionists that their
lands have been the prey OF Eastern specu-
lators, the possessors, in many instances,
having been unable to get their patents,
and white encroachment has gone on in
creasing. During the past year the half
breed agitation has been kept up, mainly
at the instigation of Louis Riel, the leader
in the rebellion of 1869. The demands of
the half-breeds were not complied with, and
the disaffection has ended in open revolt
against the Dominion Government. 1t is
said that 100000 would have paid all the
half-breed claims, had the Government ac-
ceded to their claims at once, when an up
rising was seen to be inevitable unless the
settlement was made. Compromise is now
believed to be out of the question until the
rebellion shall have been crushed by force
of arms. Many times that amount will be
expended in the attempt, which will, of
course, be at last successful, though at the
cost, as now seems probable, of much blood
and treasure. The half-breeds are more for
midable than the Indians. They are reck-
less men, fearless fighters, and are skillfully
led. The Canadian Government appears to
be unprepared for this outbreak, and some
time must elapse before an overwhelming
force can be brought face to face with the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1885-04-16

THE COLUMBIAN TROUBLE.

The action of President Barrios, Of Gau-
temala, in proclaiming himself dictator of
the allied Central American States, and his
attempts to subjugate the sister republics,
have met with complete disaster. On the
30th of March, Barrios attacked the Saliva
doran frontier position FL Coco, thus break
ing the promise given by him to the Unit
ed States Minister not to invade Salvador
and commencing operations without dec
laration of war. The battle ragged fercely
until nightfall, when the Salvadoran forces
concentrated upon Chalchupa. At daylight
on the 31st fighting commenced around San
Lorezo. After a severe engagement, which
lasted ten hours, the Gautemalan forces
were completely routed with very heavy
losses.
Official dispatches of last Thursday to the
Navy Department at Washington, confirm
the report that President Barrios himself
was killed on the battlefield, and state that
hostilities between Guatemala and the al
lied republics have been suspended, and an
armistice of one months duration is an
nounced. The Legislative Assembly of
Guatemala has annuled the decree promul-
gated by President Barrios on February %,
in which a union of the Central American
Republics was proclaimed and Barrios an
nounced as Dictator and Supreme Military
Chieftain of all Central America.
The Navy Department also has a dispatch
from Capt. Norton, commanding the Shen-
andoah, conveying the information that he
has landed about $50 men in Panama for the
protection of American interests. Secretary
Whitney replied to him: "Your duty is
confined to protecting the railway and
steamship companies property, and the
lives and property of American citizens,
and, so far as your force permits, to keep
the transit open. In conflicts between the
local forces you must not participate nor
show favor or disfavor to either"
Senor Becerra, Minister from the United
States of Columbia to this government, has
received an official dispatch from his govern
ment, in which it is stated that tranquility
prevails throughout the republic except at
Panama, Sabanilla and Santa Marta, which,
it says, are in the hands of the rebels. The
dispatch also states that the government is
organizing in the State of Caucea, which
adjoins Panama, an expedition of 1,5OO
troops, which will be sent to Panama as
soon as possible to suppress the revolt in
that State.

SHE WILL NOT RESIGN.

Miss Ada G.. Sweet, the u. S. Pension
Agent at Chicago, who declines to tender
her resignation at the request of Gen. Black,
Commissioner of Pensions, is a daughter of
Gen. j. B. Sweet, who died in Washington
while occupying the office of Deputy Pen
sion Commissioner. She succeeded her
father in the Pension Office in Chicago on
his promotion eleven years ago, being first
appointed by General Grant. Her present
term expires by limitation, April 16, 1886.
The correspondence between herself and
the Commissioner of Pensions has not been
published, though her telegram to the Pres
ident clearly intimates her intention not to
tender her resignation. In an interview
last Friday she said that she had received
no private information from Washington
with reference to the Presidents attitude in
regard to her case. She said she was much
encouraged by the newspaper reports of the
Presidents course up to the present, and she
was awaiting the outcome with interest.
Her office has been flooded with newspa-
pers containing editorials about herself, and
she says that all the Republican, Independ-
ent, and not few Democratic papers, de-
clare that her course was the proper one,
and that the President is expected to sus-
tain her. She does not expect to be court
martialed for conduct unbecoming 6 gentle
man and an officer" as intimated by jovi-
al correspondent, but she thought the Pres
ident stood in the position of having to re-
buke either herself or the Commissioner.
She adds that her books are in order, and
that, although she will be prepared to go at
any time, she will continue to attend strict
ly to business without fretting about the
outcome of her telegram Of protest to the
President

THE LAST EXECUTION.

The last murderer hanged in Yorkville pre-
vious to the execution last Friday, was Peter
Culp, coored, who was hanged for the murder
of his wife, on the plantation of Mr.. George j.
Steele near McConnellsville, in May, 1871. He
was tried before Judge Thomas at January Term,
1872, and found guilty and the sentence of the
Court was duly executed on the day above
named. At that time executions in this State
were conducted publicly, and the occasion drew
an immense crowd to Yorkvlle. In the absence
of local militia, company of U. S. Infantry
and detachment of U. s. Cavalry acted as a
military support to the Sheriff.
