THE GENERAL ELECTION.
YORKVILLE, s. G.. :

With the exception of Pennsylvania, in
which there was some political excitement,
the election of last week was remarkably
quiet throughout the Union. In this State
very little interest was manifested and the
vote was light. Except in the Seventh
Congressional district there was no contest.
This is the "Black District" heretofore rep
resented by Smalls, colored. He was op-
posed by Col. William Elliott, who is elect
ed by small majority, thus giving South
Carolina a full Democratic representation
in Congress.
The general result, as affecting the two
great parties throughout the country, is not
yet ascertained, though it is quite certain
that the Democratic majority in the House
of Representatives will be reduced.
Tennessee elects Democratic Governor.
Carlisle is returned to Congress from Ken
lucky. In North Carolina there is some
doubt, conflicting reports being received as
to the result for Judges of the Supreme
Court and for the Legislature. Both par
ties are claiming the victory. Abbott, ne
gro, is reelected to Congress from the Sec
ond district.
In the triangular contest for Mayor OF
New York, Hewitt, Democrat, was elected
over Roosevelt, Republican, and George,
the candidate of the laboring or anarchist
ticket

GRAND :JURY,s REPORT.

The following is the report of the grand jury,
presented in the Court of Sessions last Thursday,
after which the jury was discharged:
To His Honor A. P. ALDRICH, Presiding Judge ::
In making this our final report, we make the
following recommendations:
That the county commissioners be required to
have made, or to purchase furniture for the
papers to be properly filed and secured in the
office.
We also recommend the county commissioners
to have the building used for their office to be
covered with sheet iron, said work to be done
by contract, and to the lowest bidder.
We have examined the poor house and find
the expenses Of the farm and the maintenance of
the fourteen paupers amount to S49l.l9-much
less than in former years.
A comparative statement Of annual expendi-
lures we have not been able to approx innate,
from the manner in which the books are kept
the county expenses of all kinds being charged
together, and paid as orders. We recommend
that the county commissioners be authorized
and required to keep separate book Tor ex-
penditures for the poor. The produce of the
farm the present year will make the farm and
paupers self supporting, and for this unusual
farm, the economy shown in the expenses and
skill in the operations connected Herewith, we
cannot close this subject without the thanks OF
the county to Mr.. James Dillingham;, the super
intendent.
We find the indebtedness of the county for the
fiscal year ending 1886 to be about fifteen thou
sand dollars. The two-and-a-half-mill levy will
raise thirteen thousand nine hundred and fifty
eight dollars, which will leave an outstanding
debt of about ,042. To meet this deficiency
and pay the expenses of the incoming year, will
require the county tax to be at least three mills
We would again renew former recommen-
dation to the county commissioners as to grant
ing monthly compensation to the outside pau
pers, not to receive such without full investi-
CATION of the means of support of all applicants;
that the sons be considered competent to support
their aged parents.
JOHN 7. LOWRY, Foreman.
SPECIAL REPORT.
The committee to examine the remaining
county offices, viz. the Judge Of Probate, the
School Commissioner and the Sheriffs, report
that they have discharged that duty and find the
records correct and papers properly filed, and

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL,

Rock HILL, November S.-The election
on last Tuesday passed off very quietly at
this place. A stranger would not have
known an electionwas being held. A num-
ber of our town people did not vote. AT
the State box there were 1877 votes cast.
Only colored men voted. At the Congress
sional box lib votes were cast, only two col
ored men voting. AS will be seen, the COL
ored people took no interest in the election
and the whites very little more.
It has been some time since so large a
number of people have been seen on our
streets as was gathered last Saturday even
ing. They assembled to see the perform,
ance of man on tight rope. The street
was lined with men, women and children,
as was also the windows and roofs of the
buildings. The rope was stretched across
Main street from Roddey's Hall to the
Globe Hotel. The exhibition was credit
able one.
4. There has been a cabbage war going on
among our grocery merchants the past week,
and on Friday morning prices were reduced
to cent per pound for large white head
cabbages; but after the earthquake shock
prices were shaken up to cents per pound.
I saw one head that measured Is inches
across.
Mr.. B. n. Craig showed me the largest
onion in York county on Saturday. 1t
weighed pounds and 2 ounces, and meas
ured 1S inches by 15 inches.
On last Wednesday night the Presbyterl-
an church at this place was filled with many
citizens to witness the marriage of one of
our most popular physicians, DR.. John w.
Fewell and Mrs. Kate Walker, charming
lady of our town. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. w. B. Jennings. There
were no attendants. Messrs. R. IT. Fewell,
w. NJ. Steele, John McElwee and I. E.
Watson acted as ushers. After the ceremo-
ny the bride and groom, accompanied by a
large number of friends, repaired to the res
idence of Mr.. Alex. F. Fewell in Ebenezer,
where an elegant supper was served and the
happy couple received the congratulations
and best wishes Of their many friends.
They certainly have the best wishes of Hal,
and as old Rip Van Wrinkle says, MAY
they live long and prosper"
Rev. P. P. Aston, colored, of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina,
preached in the A. NJ. E. Church at this
place on Sunday morning, and again at
night. He is the first colored Episcopal
minister who has ever oficiated in our
