It may be well in tbisoH-yenr of jmli tics for us in Abbeville County ti: .aken purvey of our political situation, ant! cot our bonrint's. 'I'llim Cniintv li;in en. joyed ami does enjoy throughout the Ktntfi tho honor of having a population second to none in integrity, intelligence and character In the councils of the Rtate, Abboville has not lack, d great men. Iler voice has been heard and her influence felt through the medium of those who commanded the respect ami attention of the public. That wis have lost somewhat of the prestige that, we have enjoyed will not be denied; and of ooursc the loss of this must be within ourselves. We httvu degenerated in our political principles and methods, l'olitics with us have become entirely personal. Factional spirit has assumed u size and importance unknown to the former political history < ( the Count}'. Men are elected or defeated for ofiiee now not upon thiir merits and qualifications, or their lack of qualification, but Upon an,issue ofn purely personal nature, without relation to the welfare of the public service. Small men have jjrown into power ami intluenee bj- playinj: upon the passion ami prejudice ol humbler and more credulous citizens. Private quus'ions. of no soil of public i.nporia ice, hove been wrunjriiilo poliiicanvasses; slander and abuse have b"en dealt in to the detraction of political opponents. Narrow, unsound, and pernicious doctrines, with a calch-penny pound of nlansibilitv about them, have been made to do duty for political principles. We are weary of and disgusted with this low plane of politics. It behooves ns to rebuke men who have no higher ambition than their personal advancement and aggrandizement, and who, to accomplish their selfish ends, , pervert the sentiments and play upon llie credulity of their constituents- We u-nni Abbeville to take high rank !>y reason of the character, the virtues, the ability pn(l the statesmanship of those whom she honors with high plnco ami powers. The first step in this direction is to eradicate from our local politics the abuses that have crept in?elevate the standard of acquirements. Lot us get rid of tlio personal feature of our politics that fills every one of our canvasses with bitterness and hatred, and give birth to charges of fraud and wrong doing; if, indeed, the actual deeds he wanting. Elect men to office bocausc they are competent to discharge official duties, and because their character entitles them to respect and confidence; and (lo this without reference to u-hieli ui.ln ?i the party issues that divide us, they ma} stand upon Then will we have taken at leant one .step toward the improvement of our local politics. DYNAMITERS IN* KXGIjANI). In another column we give an account of a most dastardly attempt to Mow ttji the House of Commons in Knglarid. From the present reports it seems that the outrageous attempt* was made bv women. What is to become of 0111 country if the gentler sex feel called upon to pepetrate such deeds, as surpass in blackness the moat wanton crimes committed in the darkest ages ? There is a cause for it somewhere. Does the responsibility rest upon the lawmakers, or upon those who execute the laws': If upon either, it can and should be corrected. Does it not rntlmr ri>?l nnn? mistaken zealots nf freedom and liberty, who arc satisfied w'lh nothing, and whose chief aim serin only to destroy Can any 0110 look upon these dastardly crimes, and then approve of any measure to forcc our women out of their natural sphere, and encourage their contact with such measures? America so Tar han uscaped, but can we hope to he the exception when all nations and governments tire passing through such ordeals": This "land of the free" may escape, hut if so we will have the (liver of all good, and not our so-called apostles of liberty, to thank. HONOltS TO THE I>KA1>. Eulogies upon the Hon. .J. II. 10vins, deceased, and recent member of Con* gross from the Fifth District of this State, were made in the House of Representative.* on last Wednesday. Congressman I-iVins was highly esteemed by all who know him, and the remarks made by different Representatives were 1 -1 . unuitiiy nun ucservetiiy complimentary. We give below what Col. J. U. Randall, the accomplished repovtor of the Agusta Chronicle, in Washington, tyns to K?3r of them : ,lS?0 Congressman who has passed away of late jears has been fortunate in his eulogies than the late John II. Kvins. The two best memorial tributes wore thoso of General Tom Browne, of Indiana. and Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina. Browne is ordinarily the most cantankerous of sectional IUpublicans, of the old I'raise-God-Iiarebones formation; but the the beautiful soul of the man from Spartanburg ovoked his homage and admiration. Mr. Tillman's eulogy was quite out of the ordinary run of such speeches. It was scveroly simple, but had many quaint, original, profound and gentle touches?a raro union of sentiment and philosophy. It was highly complimented by such a man as Governer ^AiCtntr. of Mneuai*ht,?i/?*?o _v.~ - ? ? * - ... ?.nvHumwi, mm in & mnsicr of tho English language and an artist in the use of it. What Tillman said of Evins was true. The dead man deserved tho praise so fervently but judiciously bostowed upon him. Of very fow pubr>, lie mot) can this l>e declared, in an age r. of wide-spread licentiousness and dishonor." . : - .. i UENEGAUE.

['he origin of the cxph?>ion is wrapped n profound mystery, hut it is believed o have been caused by dynamite. Loniion, January 2-i?i P. M.?The xplosion occurred close to the Mouse ?f Lords, near Wesminster Hall It is eported that the explosive was place.I n the crypt under tlie building. One loliceman was hurt. The force of the hock was tremendous atr.l was felt at a treat distance. The amount of damage lone was very great. There were two explosions instead of ine, as at first supposed, at I ho Partianent Houses. Tile second came iilmnl hree minutes after tho first. One man las been arrested m ar the scene of the :xplosion. The detective force is hard it work now seeking further developnents, the particulars of which are inxiously awaited by the people in the leighborhood of Westminster I!:?!!. Saturday being a great visiting day, he Parliament buildings contained a real number of sight seers at the time ol he explosions. The first explosion ocjurrcd in the cryptof Westminster Hall. i lie second tooK place i:i the stranger's rail cry in tho House of Commons.

The explosion knocked tho loliceman dowi and injured hi>11 so seiously that hi-? c.tse is at present considered critical. Its torce also knocked lown two other policemen who were [binding in the vicinity and badly tunned them. A lady and g ntlrman standing near the ollicer who had the inckage were a!s > prostrated. The grent vindow over the main entrance to Westninster Hall was smashed to atoms and ill the side windows were bi-Mvn out. in tho interior of the House of Commons iih! upon the floor the only s at damaged >y I ho explosion was that which Mr. Jladstone occupied. It was badly >roken. A small chip was also torn oil* he top of the Speaker's chair. The explosions caused quite a panic inning the visitors who were in the uiidimr at tho time. Those who were n the House of ('ominous fled precipiateiy, end many of the ladies wore iruised in the crush. The second explosion in the Parliament juildings occurred throe minutes later ban the first, and was far more destruc;ive. The dynamite which was used in he second explosion must have been >laced under the Peers' gallery on the left side. Little hope is entertained of the survival of the wounded policeman. The orce of tho explosion was such that one nan was blown to the earth who was as *ar as three hundred yards from where t occurred. The lobby of the Hons** of Commons was completely demolished. (\ clue to the perpetrators of the.outrage is thought to ~have been discovered, lust before the explosion occurred a man and woman, the latter carrying a liand bag. engaged a mS outside of the Parliament yard and dr.*vc r.ipidly away, rivinor 110 direction< :<> rh. i- fl.tu ion.

The prevalent belief is that the destructvc agent was conveyed into the House ?f Commons by seine Saturday visitor, [''tiller investigation shows that the exent of the damage is much greater than tvasal first supposed. This western exreniily of t!ie house is n tbtal wreck. I'here is no doubt that the explosive was passed under the peers' gallery on :he tiovcrmnent sido of the house. All :he woodwork in that part of the buihlng was shattered, and a wido hole was made through the iloor. The gallery ivas displaced, and even tho solid stone ivork of the doorways was cither pulverized or shifted from its position.

Another amount of the explosion .it Westminster I la 11 is as follows: The explosion at Westminster llall was more lisastrons than at firiit anticipated ; our persons were hadly injured, inclining two policemen, who aru probably faall)' injured.

M.?The statutes of King William IV., and King George IV. in Westminster Hall were overturned by the explosion at the Parliament buildings. Tho fact that an unusual number of ladies visited the Parliament buildings to-day has given rise to the suspicion that tho miscreants who perpetrated the outrages were either women or men in women's disguise. It is now remembered by nttondii... ii.-> i iiiivn uwviii nit* uuimiings unit purccis were carried by many of the women, and that they seemed to bestow unusual care in guarding them. The explosion took place exactly at 2 o,clook in the afternoon. Lord Chelmsford and (Jen. Milman ar<: now engaged in the work of inspecting the structure. Some reports place the number of persons injured by the Tower explosion at only four. No arrests have yet been made in connection with the Tower explosion.

M.?The investigation made so far by the police lead to the conclusion that the explosives used in the attact on the Tower were handled by persons who gained access to the structure as sight-seors. The ruins also show that the explosives were operated from a point somewhrre near the inner bastion or on the esplanade, near St. Thomas Tower. It turns out I that tin: police.' wore unusually prompt! aud successful in placing their embargo upon all egress from the Tower grounds, as hut few persons hod left when this cniborgo was ordered. Kxtra guards have been posted ahout the walls, and every person within them will he .subject to a persona! examination. Tin* report imufe by the Tower explosion was terrific. It was heard for miles up and down the Thames and at once attracted an immense crowd to(li*> scene. London, .January 24.?f>.Iri I'. M.? Another account of the explosion at the Tower gives the following details : The scenes in anil around the Tower of London are indescribable. S.-vcr.il children of tender age are among the injured in the Tower, and their pale faces, bloody heads and broken limbs rois.vd the j*reat crowd congregated in the vicinity to frenzy. Yells are heard on every f ide to uI?ynch the villians !*' "Uoa-st the fiends!'-" All the visitors are still detained in the Tower, and will be kept there until their antecedents have been thoroughly inquired inLo.
