Sumter io tho year 1841, and .*CEts the,son of Maj. Wm. Hay ns worth, a distinguished lawyer of this place. He entered the Military Academy at Charleston, about 1857, and at which institution he was on the eve of receiv ?*g,bis diploma, . and?wes one of those ;*?^??s ytsi?fes to whom a speech was as? i .*?^^w,p>iS wis prevented rromreceiv ^?gr&%rp%ma "or making the speech D^reason of his transfer, while a Cadet in 1861, from the Citadel to Morris Island, where he fired at the Star of the Westi; which vessel was sent by the II. ~S? Government to provision Fort Sutn . ?ter^the first gun of the war between the States. : ? Afterwards he was a volunteer in the Manning Guards, of which his brother, ?Tohn R. Hayns worth, was an officer, ^whfO was Jailed at the First Battle of "Iftanassasi. " He afterwards wag a Lieu? es?. dcantTu ihe First South Carolina Ar ^eiy7 and wa3 conspicuous for his bravery while at Fort Sumter and at -Morris Island during the siege of Bat ?eiy -Wagener. ? He served all through the war, and .'was in, perhaps, the last battle of the war at Benton ville, N. C., and it is claimed that he not only shot the first ?fcot perbaps^also, the last gun of the 'wan ^ He was i?all of the battles in which his regiment was engaged and never had even a hair of his head hurt in any of them. What a strange fatality there seems, to-hang over the lives of many of j * ns. After the war Mr. Haynsworth re* turned to Sumter and taught school for .several vears. ^Vhen admitted to the Bar hej>eearne a partner io the firm of ' Fraser^ Haynsworth & Cooper, which , business-'relaticnship continued to exist I until he moved to Atlanta, Ga., a few ' years*ago. Not being satisfied with his prospects in that city, he returned to Sumter and began the practice of law \ -hy himself. About two years ago he 1 wat? appointed Trial Justice at this ] place, which oScial position he held, j and the duties of which he discharged , faithijitty^p to the very moment of his j death. * < ?J?r. Hayns worth, was a modestand J retinrig" gentleman, and was never ? known to do an act unworthy of a true j , and high-toned South Carolina gentle- ; man. Everybody who knew him liked j kim. .His tragic death is deeply de- 1 plored by the citizens of this County. Ja his death his two little orphaned boys w?l.not only feel the loss of a true i - and noble. father but that of a gentle J mother? SOBER REFLECTIONS. On the four'h page we give extracts -from a number cf the papers of this State bearing upon the recent calamity that has befallen oar community. These will doubtless be of interest to our read? ers as showing them how the matter is viewed by those who are sufficiently separated by distance to be free from j '< partisan sentiments. ?1 We also give below aa extract from j a private letter, written by a gentleman ia New York who is entirely unac- ? quainted with all the parties concerned, j< This letter was handed to us by Mr. i! . fl Ansi? y Davis who is on a visit to his j ; wife's family here, and to whom the ? ( letter was written by a friend in New j 1 York in .reply to one from him since j his arrival here. Mr. Davis" letter hav- j ' ing been written upon the paper of his j brother-in-law, 31 r. *T .ace Iiarby, is | ? why his correspondent alludes to the j ; name in connection with the report of j our trouble as published in the N. V. ] papers, he not being aware of his fata- j ily relationship. The sentiments of the ? extract, will, we think, be seconded by j , the majority of our readers, and, in con- j nection with the other comments upon ! the sad aSair, we have thought it well j to give it a place : "Your picture of the ease and comfort ?ml i ; contentment of jour life ai Sumter ww cloud- j ed somewhat by an account witch appeared tu j ourSauday papers of an unfortunate occur*li; renee ia which, I ?bou!d judge by the came, i . a relative of your friend, Mr. Barby, lost bis i life. It i? too bad-?a fact it is sh-jn-sjul- j that mea wi il resort to tne:in-? to satisfy per- j gonai maiiee, or resent fancied instills, by j which the lives of those not at ail interested ? are sacrlSced. In fact, while I am inclined to j believe the duello to be the most absurd thing j ever thought of by man, it has at least the ! merit of seeajing to settle metiers '-between i man and man." And, - even there, men de- j ceive themselves, for it is not "between man t Rod man"; there are innumerable persons j whose fate depends upon the event; take the ; Cftseof Burr ;tnd Bain tl ion as aa instance, as j showing the irony of fate in tbe issue of it: ! the traitor lived and the man whose life was j of incalculable value to the whole country j Jost hts life. Thar, I think, is a striking in- j stance of the folly of duelling; but it is not : necessary to point out the foliy of drawing; cue's pistol and shooting d^wn any one who, j on an impulse, happens lo cail one a liar; I j thir.k a blow ss manly, bnt an action which j will send for jud??ment before its Maker a bc- J n;an soul, S.icd with the passion Hud fury of j ice moment, and so tncre than ust:ally tra- i prepared, is Jmnnatye. and. generally, is cois- j OT'Uy - ?c-r more than bs;r' the time a mar? de- j pt-nt?s upon i^einjE quicker than the other, in \ w~?cn C-.U? there is nut much chance of reiort, j I whereas, ia ca?e of a blow there may b? portunity to retaliate. ?? UI know you will not sympathize with feelings thoroughly, but I am sure you see the reasonableness of my position in main. Man mounts higher and higher in scale, as he subject&his impulses to bis rea: and I cannot but believe that the man is n noble, mere courageous, who will suomi slights rather than to have his family friends affected by his resenting them, t is the man who is always looking for St one to "knock a chip off his shoulder" so I he may have a chance to kill him; c think o? it. The first man will fight be for a principle than the second would. "Forgive me for inflicting a sermon on y I know you will. I wouldn't have dont but that I recognize this thing as an imp lion upon the great majority of society, teaed npon it by pestom." WASHI^TONLETTER, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 6, 1888 The two most important events of t week are the reassembling of Congr and the resumption of work by 1 special international parliament-I Fisheries. Commission. The House Representatives heard only yesterday 1 announcement of the arrangement of committees, butthe Senate is already the midst of a battle. The first matter of consequence pi sen ted in the Senate after the h olid recess was the resolution in reference the distribution of the President's mc sage. This was made the pretext i Mr. Sherman, in his feverish haste ai anxiety to get even with Mr. Blaine making a? open bid for the Republic: Presidential nomination, to launoh harangue, something after the mano of a stump speech, in which he sharp takes President Cleveland and the dem cracy to task on the tariff question. B the consuming aspirations of the Oh Senator haye led him to adopt a cour of conduct .wholly acceptable to tl democracy, as is shown by the master! rejoinder of Senator Voorhees, who wi only too glad to avail himself of th occasion to emphasize the yiews of tl President and the policy of the part^ The tariff debate, thus bravely opene may continue for some t?me-in the U| per House, as several of the Senatoi haye announced their intention to di: cass that issue in all its bearings. Sti it is possible that the tariff debate ma be interfered with at any moment b the Blair Educational bill, which hi precedence of all other matters on at count of its being the only 'unfinishe business.' The New Hampshire Sen* tor declares it to be his purpose to pas his bill from day to day until the que? tion is disposed of. He expresses bin self as being confident that his cherish ed measure .will pass both houses.and h believes the.President will approve it ?8 to the latter opinion, a prominen Congressman remarked, Mr. Blair1 hope for his bill is without foundation In ali of Mr. Cleveland's career, he ha never, either by deed or work, commit ted himself to any scheme of paterna legislation like the Blair bill. 4H said further that he koew that his Demo eratic berthreo were .divided upon tbi question, many of the leading men o the party being on the affirmative side But he thought it would be better ti act on the Napoleonic military maxin of finding oat what oar enemies wisl as to do and then pursue a conttarj coarse. He thought President Cleve land would be likely to regard it in thai tight. Of important proposed legislation in the Hou5e it may be well to mention Mr. Springers bill to create the Terri tory of Oklahoma by consolidating the tribes in the Indian Territory under that form of government. It is understood :hat another bill on the same subject >ut of an entirely different character trill be iutroduced. The latter scheme proposes to remove the Indians to the ?astern part of the Territqpy and to form i new Territory bat of the western por? tion, adding thereto the region of coun? try known as 'No Man's Land,' which would make a Territory nearly as large is the State of Ohio. It is said this plan will be strengthened by the support [>f the Administration. There is a probability that Washing? ton, Montana and Dakota Territories will be admitted as states this year upon the condition that they shall not vote for'President until the election in 1892. Representative Crain, of Texas, is pre paring to submit his constitutional amendment to change the time of meet? ing of Congress. The 31st. of Decem? ber at noon is substituted for the 4th. ;>f March as the time for the beginning ind termination of the official terms of members of the House. Congress shall meet at least once each year on the first Monday in January, unless otherwise ordered by that body. Should the bill pass both Houses, it must be ratified, of course, by two thirds of the State Leg? islatures before it can become a - law of the land. One of the most ludicrous scenes yet witnessed in the House was when Mr. Bauteile, of Maine, who has made some little reputation as a sectional agitator, railed op the Hebel Flag inquiry. In? stantly there were a dozen objections, but Mr. Campbeii, of New York, merely assumed a picturesque attitude and ex? claimed *Ugh' at the same moment bringing bis first down upon his desk with such vigorous energy as 'to bo re? cognized by the presiding officer as entitled to the floor. The little man from Maine persists in playing the in? nocent Abroad for thc House of Repre? sentatives, lie seldom rises to Iiis feet without making himself ridiculous. Leiter from Guv.

CHRISTMAS. "Hark ! the herald angels sing, Glory to tbe new-born King ; Peac J on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled." Soon will be upon us the night of the ad? vent. The birth-night of the babe of Betle hem, Emanuel, the Christ child, in regard to whose coming the heavenly bost proclaimed "Peace on earth, good will," and who him? self afterwards taught his most emphatic les? son, "Love one another" * * * "And if there be any other commandment it is briefly comprehended in the saying, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself ' * * * "therefore love is tbe fulfilling of the law." How short, how miserably short does this Christian land of ours come of recognizing and appreciating the fell force of this most potent lesson, much less in observing its em? phatic precepts and emulating the spirit of the great Preceptor. Tell a man that he is not a Christian and you'll probably get knocked down to prove to you that he is one. Tell a woman-well, she'll never cease to prove it too. Families, neighbors, communities, the Churches even, are often rent by the mon? strous violation of the very laws by which they vehemently protest that all their acts are governed. The outward observances of this Yuletide season, the holly and the mistletoe and Santa Claus and the turkey and-and the toddy are all well enough, but why can't we keep the soul as well as tbe body of Christmas? We don't suppose those "shepherds of old" bad any turkey for dinner, but they could feast their eyes and ears and did it. They were more glad than we and we try lo imitate their joy with our evergreens and our good dinner and our happy hearts and faces. The season comes to cheer old and young, and the ex? tremes of life should meet in gladness in these happy days which should bring all men into closer brotherhood. The rich should open their hearts and their treasures, the poor, (that's asl should lay aside their cares : in cot and in mansion there should be joy and the glad refrain of Christmas should lull all bit? terness of spirit. And, now, we'll go and take up our neigh? bor's old durnisb cow and charge bim 50 cents tor trespassing OD our broom sedge. Gov.

Mr. Editor : I not only feel, but know, that mere words are but a feeble way to express my heart-felt thanks to the citizens of Clar? endon, Williamsburg, Darlington, Kershaw and Richland Counties, and especially to those of Sumter County for all they have done for me in my great and terrible affliction. The constant and delicate attention shown me by both white and black in my grievance will never be forgotten by me or my family. I can assure them from the bottom of my thank? ful heart that such lavishing kindness at such a time and under such circumstances has been tbe means that alleviated much of the pain endured from the first moment I was'sbot. up to the present time.
