Jas. T. Bacon. ThosJ. Adams. EDITORS. E. KEESE, Corresponding Editor. Edgefield, S. C., May 13, I88O. A Mulatto vice-President Perhaps. An important movement is said to be O? foot among the Southern colored vo ters ti compel the Republicans at Chi cago to place tho name of Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, a mulatto, on the ticket as Vice President. This is true, we trust. It is a very proper movement. The negroes havo been voting for fifteen years to keep the Republican whites in ofllce, and it is full time that their ser vice- were being substantially recogniz ed. The Philadelphia Times thus places the matter before the country: "Milton Turner, a leading colored man and Minister to Liberia under Grant's administration, is authority for the state ment that a movement has been on foot for months among tlrv colored leaders of all sections of the ci un try, but particularly in tho South, having'for tts object the nomination at Chicago of United States Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, a poi prc ' man, for vice-President on the RepTfl lican ticket. A Bruce literary burea^ will be opened at Washington within lew days and the Bruce boom made bis as possible. The colored people wil endeavor to strike a bargain with th| third-terni managers, because they prc fess to have tho groatast amount of in tcrest in the welfare of the colored peol pie, and a ticket composed of Grant auc Bruce would be just the thing. M1 Turner says the time has gone by whei the negro is simply the political instru? ment of tho white man, and as the coloi ed voter is expected to pull through twj or three Southern States for the Duke ri America he cannot well be overlooked.! Tlmrod's Grave. The grave of Henry Timrod, the Soutl ' Carolina poet, in Trinity Church yaru" ' Columbia, has remained unmarked sine his death. An effort is now being mad to erect a suitable monument to his mer ory. Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cog| well have in press a small memorial vc umc from the pen of Professor W. Rivers This work will contain two pi ems and an address on the lifo and wij tings of Timrod. It has been decide "not to sell thc book, but to send copies j -it to stich persons as may be able ar improbably will be willing to contribute | tue purpose in view. Hon. G. S. Brys Professor P. A. Porcher, Professor J. Carlisle and Major H. S. Thompson lu been appointed a committee to distribij tho book and erect the monument. And in a note to us, regarding tl matter, Major Thompson, writes as f^ lows : "I am to act as Treasurer of the gend al Committee, but I would ask, as it rm be inconvenient for some persons to ser money to me, that you receive such co tributions as may be made through yo As thc book will bo ready for delive next week your early attention to tl matter is requested. "I feel sure that no apologj' is need| foe asking youl aid in this effort to honor to South Carolina's gifted son." .".(?diraiion of the New Catholic Church in Aiken. The ceremony of the dedication of t| new Catholic Church of Aiken took pis on Sunday last, and from four t/^ hundred visitors from Charles**?1" -ant.

Gore, pastor of Beau. fort, S: C.; sub-deacon, Rev. P. L. DufiV - of tho Cathedral of Charleston. Rev. J. J. W- olanan, of Charleston, was in the Band :ary during thc services. The ser mon was delivered by the Rev. H. P. Northrop. He showed the desire of God ,?nd his people .for splendid temples to the living God, under the old dispensa tion illustrated by Solomon's temple. That temple, however, and all others of old, held only figures arid shadows. The templo consecrated to-day holds the re ality, the body and blood of Jesus Christ; and hence it is dedicated with elaborate ceremonies, praj'er and hymns. He ex honed his hearers to make of their hearts living templos, that in the future they :')i?rht be portions of that temple not built with hands in the New Jerusalem. He then feelingly exhorted his hearers to make themselves worthy to enter into (Sod's temple and adore Him, and to cul tivate faith, hope and charity. The ser. mon was impressive and very eloquent ly delivered. The Democratic Executive Committee ot' Edgefield Co an ty.

Bonham and M. W. Gary. Senator Vest, of Missouri, has made tho best speech, so far, on the Kellogg case. He is a wnnderfnl orator, full of wit, sarcasm and law. Ile speaks oil hand, and with groat intensity and alert ness. He is .1 very short, thick-set man -a truncated giant. His hair is almost flaxen red and cropped close. Exces sively round shouldered, he appears al most humpbacked. Though fifty years old, bo doos not look over forty. Ile is a Kentuckian by birth. Proctor Knott, who is considered quite sagacious in political matters, says that General Grant will poll more votes than any Republican who can be nominated, and th.'.t, if Tilden is nominated by the Democrats, he will have a walk over. -I m,*m*m-. Don Cameron says : " You can mark Pennsylvania down for Grant first, last and all the timo, and, mark me, when 1 siy that wo are going to nominate Grant oii tho first ballot as sure its tho color of my hair is red." From thc News and Courier. Posing as Paupers* Many of the statements concerning the course and condition of State politics made by Gen. Gary in his recent speech at Edgefield will be read with some sur prise, and will no doubt bo challenged by those who look at th? events of tho last four years from a less personal stand point. With this we have nothing to do. There is no danger of any division of the Democratic party. The candidates cho san by the Convention will bo supported by the whole party ; and upon the plat" form adopted by the Convention every member of the party must stand. Tn the meantime, a discussion of the claims of different persons, and of the merits of different p'ans of action, will clear the atmosphere, enlighten the public and ensure cheerful obedience to the will ol* the majority. No one will have just cause for complaint when each and every side shall have had a full hearing before Vie people. One statement made by Gen. Gary does require immediate explanation, in order to correct an impression which might injure the whole State. It has no direct connection with politics, but touches the pocket-nerve of the people. Gen. Gary says that " within th? last three years the shrinkage in the value and there is actually a movement on foot to defeat some of them, if not all, at Hie expiration of their present tenn ozonice. This may be right, or it may not be; and before the damage is done, your corres pondent would like to sound a note of Wai-rwnfy t??A'iM> xwlrsn, -i>?- *i.^??i;.,l,} . It is an established fact that a great victory was gained in 1S70, and then re formation commenced, and to-day shows tho fruit. And if the improvi Tient ls carried on for the next ten years, we will live in a great country; but wo should also recollect the fact that not only has improvement been made in our County, but also in our State Government. Now it has been asserted, and never contra dicted, that our office-holders gaited this great victory in 187(>, that all reforms have been made by them and under their directions, both in this County and in the State government, and that if allowed to continue in office, say ten more years, wo will have peace and plenty at home. It has been asserted, and we all agree to it, that none of theso men sought the ollice they hold ; on the contrary that they made serious sacrifices in accepting such office ; and that they have not only spent their time but a large amount of their private means to serve thc dear peo ple .' In this short communication it will not be expected that your correspondent could give a detailed account of thc val uable services rendered by theso office holders, but it will be done in the future. Now, under the circumstances, is it light that these martyrs should be turned out of office when they have only been in for four years? They have not yet been half rewarded for the valuable services rendered and the great sacrifices made I >y them ; not for one moment admitting they cnn be defeated; and our roliticianx will see that they are not defeated in tho next campaign They desei ve the offices for ten years longer; and the offices should be farmed out to them for that length of time, upon the express condi tion that in caso they should be promot ed, resign, or the office should become vacant by death, their places to bc filled Inf some of the parti/ of the some political faith and order. For the sake of peace, and the good of Edgefield, this is the only plan now to adopt; and our political leaders admon ish us, with tears, that wo must stand shoulder to shoulder. And we should obey them, ami endeavor to assist thom in relieving our County of all the griev ous burdens they tell us we are afflicted with at present, and that are in store for ns, in case wo disobey their orders, in the future. Go forward and make peace with vour adversary quickly ! SOLON. Newberry Survivors. At tho meeting of the Confederate sur vivors of Newberry County last Mon day forty names were added to the list l>efore reported, and it was agreed that no new names be received for the monu ment alter the 15th instant It was de cided to inscribe upon the monument Hie names of the Confederate soldiers who enlisted from Newberry County and died or were killed in service prior to the surrender of General E. Kirby Smith. The following was submitted by Mr. O. L Schumpert as a suitable in scription for tho monument, which was adopted: "This is a record of sacred dead. They were tho soldiers of the Southern Confederacy from Newberry District, Sooth Carolina, who battled for right and perished. Thus their living comrades and they who loved them mem orize th'-ir lives." Tho monument will be unveiled on the 30th ol June The gate ol* the railing enclosure will have a nickel plato on it with the words "C n fedorato Dead" cut in it. Tho monu ment will be ereeied in the public square- ' The Columbia Mereury says that the 1 Republican delegation to the Chicago 1 Convention, to be held in June, will all ( probablv vote for Grant on the first bal lot. After that they will stand about as , follows: Mackey, McCall and Taft, for ( Blaine; Brayton, Elliott, Myers, Lee, i Whipper and Wilder, for Sherman; Fine, I Poinior, Cook and llayne, for Grant ; I Bowen, for the winning man in sight. ii Opening of thc Woman's Home in Columbia. Tho Woman's Home, which has been established by tlie benevolent ladies or| Columbia, who never weary of well do ing and are always engaged insomework of charity or piety, was formally opened and dedicatod yesterday. They have se cured the large and convenient mansion and grounds formerly the residence of | Col. Wm. Jesse Taylor, just opposite the main building of tho Lunatic Asylum. Quite a large number of persons assem bled there yesterday to participate in tho dedicatory ceremonies. Thc exercises were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Plumer, assisted by Rev. William Martin. Dr. Plumer read a portion of tho 41st Psalm, also a portion of tho 9th chapter of Acts, referring to the case of Dorcas, and a portion ol tho 25th chapter of Mat thew, speaking of the Savior's approval of good worKs as being done to himself in the great day of judgment. Rev. Wm Martin then gave out the hymn '. All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," which was sung hy the whole assemblage. Dr. Plumer made some appropriate remarks, speaking of the results of good actions; though they arc small in their beginning how their results may work out in the future. He cited tho largest library in the world, situated in Liver pool, which began with two men, and the Orphan House at Halle, which origi nated with a very few persons. He quo ted the text " Despiso not tho day of small things" Dr. Plumer then offered the dedicatory prayer, giving the house to God with all its interests. Rev. Win. Martin then, at the request of Dr. Plumer, made a few remarks and dismissed thc audience with tho apostol ic benediction.-Register. Alec Stephens to Marry. The latest sensation is that "Little Alec" is going to marry. Wo suggest that Parson .Simmons bo appointed to perform the ceremony and that Den Hill be first groomsman, to stand with Belva Lockwood, while Gordou bo chosen pall bearer, to carry the groom to bcd. This news is about as reliable as most state ments made by Washington correspond ents.--Oglethoipe Echo. Gen. E. P. Alexander, President nf the Georgia Railroad Coinpany^has resigned, and accepted the vico-presidency of the Louisville cc Nashville Railroad, at a salary of $14,000 per year, with headquar ters at Louisville, Ky. He will, howev er, retain the vico-presidoucyof the Geor gia Railroad, and will be in virtual con trol oT the longest lino of railroad iii the world. The Augusta (Tia ) Chronicle bas taken up the movement for the nomination ol' Judge Stephen J. Field, and is giving it valuable aid. Judge Field bas shown himself the bulwark of Democratic prin ciples, and the relentless foo of centrali zation and the growing contempt of State governments on the part, of ! he Supreme Court. Should he receive tho nomina tion at Cincinnati ii improbable that Cali fornia and Oregon would east their elec toral vote for him. He would solidify the party all over t ? i ? - country, ami, Uko any candidate whom the party can nom inate, would beoverwheliningiy elected, - Twlianopolis Sentinel. Dedication cf thc Union Church at Langley. On Sunda}-, ibo 9th inst., tho above church was dedicated. The company, much to their credit, have erected a beau tiful et! i fice for tho use ol' (ho operatives of Langley [factory As there are*vari ous denominations in the village, none ^qtifcj?'h is able to sustain a. separate c????rW organization, the company have, in true Catholic spirit, met the wants of all by erecting this budding. Tho day was line, and the vilb'ge looked as ir decorated in its Sunday alt ir?. Largo numbers from all the neighborhood as packed to ils utmost capacity, honchos and chairs hoing placed in ovory availa ble space. The dedicatory services were conduct ed by Rev Dr. Irvine, of Augusta, as sisted by 1 >. John lt Dow and Rev. Mr Jones, (Methodist), Dr. Irvine read the prayer ol Solomon at tho dedication of the temple, ami tho 2d chapter of Kphesians from tho nth to the 22d verso, he ohoso for hi* text Psalm Si, 1, "How amiable arc Thy tabernacles, (), Lord!" Tho theme was that the House of Clod is attractive to tho Christian, for which tho preacher assigned five reasons, set forth in Dr. Irvine's most masterly manner, and with such zeal and heartfelt earnest ness that the love ol' those that waxed faint was rekindled, and that most sol emn and imperativo command of tho Most High, "Kevoronee Me in My sane tuary," proclaimed itself asa fundamen tal precept of our religion. The dis course was listened to by the lar^o audi ence with the most marked interest. Dr. Irvine offered the dedicatory prayer af ter tho sermon, and the congregation was dismissed by singing "Rock of Ages." and ibo Apostolic benediction.- Augus ta Keening Neies - - -.-.

Last night's News and Courier bringa Ute gratifying intelligence that General Gary bas poured oil on the troubled wa ters of Edgefield, and tlu-re ?s now unity and hannony where only a few days ago lhere was the evidences of discord and a threatened division of tho Democratic party was imminent. General Gary's patriotism, indomitable will, high ambition, and groat personal magnetism mark him out as a leader ol' ho mean pr?tentions, and his declarations that he will stand by the Democratic par ty under any circumslances will meet with a hearty response from the people of South Carolina, who will breathe freer since Llieii* needless fears have lr en quiet ed, and in the same breath any bones which the Radicals may have entertained are now dissipated There is no denying the fact, their hopes ol'defeating the Dem ocracy was through the agency of an In dependent candidate. There is now no fears of such a calamity, and our shea ss in the campaign is assured.-Abbcvilh Press and Banner* Mormonism in thc South.
