New York under the silver flag, or the Law

New York under the silver flag, or the law
as now administered. The extreme silver
men have misrepresented the true situation,
and have attempted to forestall public opin-
ion by some of their recent utterances.
The next question is whether we shall con-
tinue to coin silver when the people of the
country refuse to take it on par with gold.
The silver men are indignant on account
of a very sharp transaction, which is straw
indicative of the feeling of the Senate on
this question. Several days ago Senator
Eustis, of Louisiana, introduced a resolu-
tion calling for the payment of the next
bond-call in silver, instead of following up
the old practice of gold payments. The
subject was sent to the finance committee
of the Senate, which meets every Tuesday.
At the last meeting, by a preconcerted ar
rangement,. Senators Frye and Hale APP
reared to make arguments against the con-
firmation of two New England collectors.
They submitted numerous documents the
reading of which consumed the session,
and the Eustis resolution was not even con-
sidered. Consequently there is no chance
for report upon it prior to next Monday,
when the February bond call natures, and
the owners of these bonds have no fear that
they will he compelled to accept silver in
lieu Of the customary gold. There is con-
siderable talk on the subject, and the drift
of opinion is that the work of the Maine
Senators was merely the consummation Of
an anti-silver scheme. On all sides there is
disposition to talk freely but act cautious
ly on the silver question, and the prospects
are unmistakable that no new silver legs-
lation will be enacted during the Forty
ninth Congress.

The sixty thousand white voters who are

it does cost money, from whose pocket does
the most of the money in the treasury

spent? Oh! the insolence and etfrontry of

HAMPTON on HENDRICKS.

In the United States Senate on the 2Gth
ultimo, during the eulogies on the late
Vice President, Mr. Hampton arose and
said
"When death laid its inexorable hand on
Mr.. Thomas A. Hendricks, Nice-President
of the United States, we had q new and
faithful illustration of the old adage that
Death loves shining mark
"Mr. Hendricks was best loved wherever
he was best known. Crowned with almost
every civic honor which grateful people
could bestoW, blessed by domestic happi-
ness as perfect as it was beautiful, he did
indeed offer shining mark to the insatiate
archer.
"In the awful presence of death, friends
and foes alike stroye to do justice to him.
Recognizing this fact, why could we not
believe that men might be honest and con-
scientious in their belief, even when they
differed with us.
"The scenes around the death bed, proved
the brotherhood of mankind and showed
that one touch of nature made the whole
world akin. This thought had madea deep
impression on the speakers mind. And
that impression was indelibly fixed by the
extraordinary spectacle beheld at the tuner-
al Of General Grant.
1--WE all remember the imposing and
touching ceremonies on that mournful Ocs
casion, and certainly no one who witnessed
them could ever forget them. But the
feature that struck me as the most slgnifi-
cant, the most impressive, was the fact that
among those who bore the body of the
great captain of the Union armies to the
grave were Confederate soldiers, who few
brief years ago were his. mortal enemies.
Democrats and Republicans-me who wore
blue and men who were gray-met at his
tomb to pay the last tribute of respect to his
memory.
"Here to-day, while honoring ourselves
by doing honor to the memory of our late
Nice-President, we see exhibited the same
kind and generous feeling which marked
the obsequies of the dead ex-President.
eff then, our political and personal ami
mosities cease at the grave, should we not
be tolerant and charitable in the judgments
we pass on our contemporaries, even though
they are our political opponents?
Cali of us sooner or later must claim from
the living the tender recognition which we
now best0w on the dead"
Senator Hampton spoke warmly of the
political and private virtues of the deceased
Nice-President.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

The Attorney General has sent letter to
the Senate in answer to the resolution calling
for all the documents and papers in relation
to the management and conduct of the office
of District Attorney for the Southern Dis
trict of Alabama, in which, after acknowl-
edging the receipt of the resolution in ques-
ton he says:

ment relating to the fitness of j. D. Bennett,

AN OPEN LETTER.

Capt. B. r. Tillman has addressed an open
letter to the farmers of the State, which we
publish to-day. Capt. Tillman calls upon
the farmers to organize and rid themselves
of their oppressors, the State House Ring

not believe the affairs of our State are in al
together as bad a condition as the writer
depicts and we are 10th to attribute the
present existence, be it bad as it may, to

<LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, February 1.-The remains of
r. l.. Chambers, whose death was announc-
ed last week, arrived here from Florida on
last Wednesday. The funeral services were
conducted by the Society of Odd Fellows, of
which the deceased was a member. Some
appropriate remarks were made by Rev. L.
G. Hinton at the cemetery. The deceased
tell victim to consumption.
%NIrs. f. j. Hinton of our town, depart
ed this life on last Thursday morning. For
many years she had been a great sufferer
daughter of the late Major John Kennedy,
and the widow Of DR.. Grard J. Hinton,
who died Of consumption in Florida many
years agQs5The funeral services wereAeld
at tHe Baptist church on Friday morning
and were attended by large number Of
sympathiZing relatives and friends. The
remarks of Rev. R. w. Sanders on the sad
occasion were most excellent. While he
spoke in fitting terms of the noble traits
and virtues Of the deceased, he did not eX-
ceed the truth in single particular. He
spoke of her purity, Of her great attach
ment to her church and to her pastor, and
to the strong and unWavering support she
gave him at all times. He referred to her
fondness for religious literature, and to her
love for her church in all its varied inter-
eSts. He referred in tender and touching
terms to her last moments and to her see
ing, as she said at the time, little Girard
McLure, to whom she had been devotedly
attached, and whose death occurred about
four years ago. At the close of the funeral
services the remains were taken to Purity
Church graveyard and there buried.
Qhe following was the result Of a late
meeting of our new town authorities:
Major j. X. Marshall, chief of police; H.
f. Davis, policeman; William Jeter, col
ored, policeman and lamplighter; J. w.
Parker, secretary and treasurer. Our new
ly elected intendant and wardens announce
their intention of running the town on
more economical schedule than heretofore.
HOur Jail was the scene Of lamentable
event last evening. When the prisoners
were being put in their cells for the night,
Allen Good, colored, charged with forgery,
seized Sheriff Hood, took his pistol and then
attempted to shoot the sheriff. In accom-
complishing this purpose he was prevented
by colored prisoner, Henry Mccullough,
who was serving sentence for selling Ii
quor without license. Good made another
session of his pistol fired upon his assail-
ant causing mortal wound. Good died in
three or four hours. The sheriffwas entire
ly justifable in shooting him. There is no
doubt that a conspiracy was formed by
some of the prisoners to make their escape.
The friendly act Of Henry Mccullough pre-
venfed the carrying out of the conspiracy.
>~Hajor J. X. Marshall gives up the Hotel
to-day, and Mr.. Abel Hardin, Of Lowrys-
Eille, takes possession. 1t is hoped he will
please his. patrons as we'll as the Maj jor did.

and Major Jas. +. Hart, of EOrkville, paid

interest. June Massey, colored, who has

upon a verdict. \ mistrial was entered,

Capt. Butler p. Aston died at his resi-
Fdence in this place on Wednesday night
last, at o'clock of paralysis, in the 51st year
of his age. AS he was a native Of Yorkville,
he was well and intimately known by many
of your citizens. For a number of years he
was the principal of Rock Hill Academy.
BY his genial disposition and gentlemanly
manners he secured the respect of all who
knew him. Heleaves wife and daughter

selling whisky without first paying the
special tax.

Stegal. The crowd was kept quiet until
with the prisoner for Jail. One of the crowd
carried the rope with loop in one end,
and as soon as the defendant stepped out of
the court house door an effort was made
to lynch him, but the rope man was caught
and Stegal, seeing the intention, ran with
lightning speed to the Jail begging for en-
trance, which was quickly given by an Of.
ficer who chanced to be there. The officers
turned on the crowd brandishing their pis-
tolls in the faces of the men, threatening to
kill the first one who pursued the prisoner
The officers continued to back until they
reached the door of the Jail and there stood
until the crowd dispersed. Public feeling
runs high and it is thought another attempt
to lynch Stegal will soon be made.
