The YcrkrilU Enquirer A 'Point
The Enquirer of the 23d inat,, thinks
the ObsxbV2& baa failed to mtet "a
ingle point at issue" In the contro
verar about the Chester & Lenoir
Railroad Id quryetetday, issue
we prexn)-inAt our contempora
ry should have no further grounds
for complaint against us upon this
score. So, we proceed to-day to con
sider one of the main "points at is
sue" t I .GWC. , . ,
In the Obsibyxr of October 1, we
said :
The County Commissioners of
York County are attempting to force
the people of- York to pay a neavy
subscription to this road, against
their will. Their authority to do
this is questionable. Certainly the
auinocuyuoaer wmcumev cuum w
act is bot clear and undoubted.
Judge Mackey recently decided in
favor of the County. Commissioners,
and ordered the injunction against
them to be dissolved. But his opin
ion does hot clear up the doubts
resting upon the case.
To tffEtgtpf Oct 9, re
plied, "the Observer's assertion that
the county commissioners ofYork are
attempting' to force the people of the
county to pay a i heavy subscription
to the road against their will, is
wholly presumptuous..' t' r
We go further to-day than we did
in our issue of October 1. We say
that it is ajfacfositive and, unde
niable, epounty commission
ers are attempting to force the peo
ple of York to pay this arbitrary sub
scription of an hundred thousand
dollars against their will.And we shall
prove it by incontestable evidence.
We willmiwnrBt that the commis
sioners in making this subsori ption
acted directly against the Will of the
people so far as that will could be
ascertained without a rote of the
county. .? -
Before reciting the proof it is ne
cessary, to a full understanding of this
controversy, that the clause in the
charter unerr rwhich the county
commissionenrClaim to have acted,
be given. It is as follows :
Sectidnlir. Thatit shall be law
ful for any county or town interest
ed in the construction of the Chester
6 Lenoir arrowGauge Railroad to
subscribe to the capital stock of said
company, or of any company with
which it may consolidate or unite,
such sumVand to be payable in such
manner, as the people or proper au
thorities ofsuch county or town shall
deem best, determine and sruthor
iie." "
The Enquirer, will agree with us
that "the will of the people" previ
ous to elections, is commonly ascer
tained, by public meetings? At all
events, it will grant that, next to a
direct vote, it is the nearest possible
way of arming at the state of the
public mind upon any public ques
tion? And especially ought this to
be the case when the public meeting
is held at the court house, the editor
of the county paper is the secretary
of the meeting, the judge of the cir
cuit is the leading speaker, and the
leading citizens of the county are
there, and the persons present show
a unanimity of sentiment on the
question before them. Will not the
Enquirer admit this ? We must pre
sume thatit will; : we hope it has
some reason' left in spite of its mad
advocacy of its pet railroad scheme.
Well, be; will of the people" of
York on this subscription question
was plainly and most positively ex
pressed in the- 'manner above shad
owed forth, at arUrdad meeting in
Yorkvillepn the 7th,; of April last.
If the intolerant editor of the Enquir
er will refer' to hi file of April 10,
1873, tie will find a full report of this
meeting. It is "hi own report, as it
appears in the editorial column.
He denominates this assemblage "a
meeting of the citizen of York county."
Therefore, he must admit that their
resolution expressed the will of "the
cuizenft ioi . xotk county." And if
we show, .by what we find in the
columns of his own paper, that these
citizens expressed themselves in fa
vor of the question being submitted
to a vote of the people, how can he
have the face to say now tbatjgour
assertion, that the commissioners
are acting agajtfshepiriu of the
people, is. presumptuous?''
The ,very . . object , of the meeting
was stated, In the language of Judge
Mackey (ihe principal speaker,), to
be ' whether the . .county : , of York
thould wte a iwacriphori'J.0 the -pro
posed railroad.?.; He tnen proce
ed to speak in favor of the project
And eeidJlM
tMtina comes, the neopie oi x ont
the town Uni 'IWutyiU mvote
ly&c He conUded his speech
by saying, 'Thope on the day of elec
tion, there will be a general turn out
of the citizensand, as this is an elec
tion possessing no Elements of dis
cordnothing to break the! ties of
brotherhood between, citizen and
citizen that all will vote with sound
judgment, unbiased by prejudices of
any kind, but solely with a yiew of
promoting the common good of the
whole county. ,r k
The ediforof the Yorkyille Enquir
er, the secretary of the meeting, then
goes on "to" say : K "Judge Mackey
took hid seat amid continued j ap
plause, when J. S. It. Thompson,
Esq., offered the following resolu
tion, in support of which he said the
meeting should give come expression
as to its object and purpose:
"Resolved, That the county commis
sioners of York county be requested
to submit to the voters of York
county on the 20th May next, the
question of subscription by said
county of $100,000 to the oapital
stock of the Chester & Lenoir Nar
row Gauge Railroad Company.
"The resolution was. seconded by
Waa.I. Ciawson, Esq and adopted
without a dissenting voice."
Thus we have shown th At a large pub
lie meeting of citizens from all parts
of York was held at the courthouse
that the commissioners were re
quested in a formal resolution to
submit the question to the veters of
the county that this was a unan
infdus request and that the editor
of the Enquirer was then and there
(present endorsing the action of the
meeting, by acting as its secretary,
and assenting, to the resolution
adopted.
In the face of this the county
commissioners (a negro, a Radical
and a professed Conservative) a few
days after, met together, and disre
garding this request of the citizens
of York, made an art itrary subscrip
tion of an hundred thousand dollars
to the proposed road without asking
the consent of the people! And the
York ville Enquirer, that now prates
of disinterested patriotism, was not
true enough to its own people to
remonstrate against, this unprece
dented act of tyranny !
Now who has been guilty of "pre
sumption in this matter the Ob
seever, for asserting that the com
missioners are attempting to force
the people of York to pay the sub
scription against their will, or the
Enquirer fer denying, it? -We, leave
it to an impartial public to say.
We have still further evidence,
equally incontestable, to establish
beyond cavil or doubt the truth of
our assertion, and we will produce it
in our next issue.
The Enquirer has made an unpro
voked, and discourteous attack upon
the Observer, and we intend not to
et this matter drop until we have
made its fickleness and its faithless
ness to its own people appear as clear
as the noonday sun.
Yellow fever has appeared at
Bain bridge, Qa. The people are
panic-stricken, and every train leaves
the town packed with refugees.
Savannah mat sJkare the fate of
Memphis. There is danger of its
spreading all along the Atlantic coast

we imagine, show wisdom in prepar
ing to meet the terrible scourge.

Dr? JohnT. Kennon? a prominent

has fallen a victim to the "pestilence
that walketrP in" darkness" in that
desolated city of the West. He was
of that lineage which gave to the
Mecklenburg Declaration one of its
many illustrious names. The- Doc
tor was unusually endowed with phv
sical and moral courage. To aban
don a post of duty and of danger as.
signed him by Providence, he sim
ply, didn't know how. In his pro

"to the manor born." Brave, gene

he made many friends. Whilst
living his heart was all aglow with
the warmest impulses of humanity.
When death came and changed that
manly brow to . marble, Nature,
proud of her noble son, encircled it

NEW YORK
JNKW YORK. UCt. TO-QaV Was
the 18th day of the Stokes trial. The
crowd in and about the court room
showed that public interest in the
case had hot abated. Tremaihe con
cluded this morning. He continued
his argument on his third and fourth
points, and took up the subject of
nervous tears and apprehensions on
the part of Stokes, and argued that
if the jury believed in the existence
of these, it effectually id awfcy- with-
all loea ot murder or manslaughter.
The prisoner and-the, man he killed
i it . t
met unexpecieaiy ; acting on tne
principle of self-defence, the prison
er fired.
extracts irom legal docks were
then-read on the: priik'iples of self
detence. iremaine tnen toot up
Stokes testimony in his own behalf,
and claimed that his story was cor
roborated in almost every particular
He animadverted at great length on
Fisk s character and dwelt particu
larly ou his threats against Stokes
and the latter's fears. He reviewed
the testimony as to Fisk's Distol. as
serting that he had one and tried to
shoot btokes
He contended that the evidence
furnished by the clerk was worthless
asserting that it had been altered
since the shooting. He also made
the point that if Stokes did not see
the pistol in Fisk's hand, as he' swore
he did, he might be insane.
Tremaine finished with an earnest
appeal in behalf of his client and the
court took recess.
At 1-45 P. M., District Attorney
f helps commenced to sum up in be
half of the people. He commenced
by a complimentary allusion to the
elegant speech of the counsel for the
prisoner, which couldn't have failed
to touch their hearts. But some
thing in his argument were not so
becoming. This was not the place
tor display ot personal criticism, and
he regretted that in his speech the
counsel had taken snch a course
Phelps then spoke of the solemn du
ty and the duty devolving upon the
jury. He referred to rumors about
the conduct of the counsel, and of
the jurors, but said he would not
discuss them and would take no fur
ther notice of any accusation upon
himself or his assistant counsel.
He argued that the plea of
insanity was a mere subterfuge, and
asserted that Fisk's wound was mor
tal, because he died of it, and that
.. i ft . a i i.:n: .:
tne laea oi ms treatment, miuug unit
could not be entertained, as the at
tending surgeons concurred in a cer
tain treatment, and this treatment
was proved correct by the success
which attended it up to the point
when discontinued. They could not
leave him todie withougivingsome
relief. He said Stokes testimony
was not corroborated and showed no
justification for the killing. He re
viewed the hostilities between the
prisoner and Fisk, the quarrels and
reconciliations, the legal proceedings
in which Mrs. Mansfield was a party,
and claimed these in all that Stokes
was the aggressor
