Nov IG-i A Noted Carolinian. j Charleston, S. C., April H.-The ! funeral of the late Judge Magrath j took place at the Scotch church at 4 i o'clock p. tn. All the bells in the i city were tolled during the Services i and the church wa? thronged. The j services were" especially touching, j Judge Magrath leaves ? family of i four children. They are Judge A. G. ! Magr?th, Jr., Mr: \V. T. Magrath and j Mrs. VV. T. Darby of Charleston, and j Mrs. Dr. W. A. Baker, of Atlante. 1 Dr. and Mrs. Baker, of Atlanta, were here in attendance upon the fi?ner?l exercises. Thc Charleston News and Courier gives this interesting sketch of Gover nor Magrath : Andrew Gordon Magrath wa* bern in Charleston, February 8, 1813". He was of Irish descent, his father having been engaged ia the Irish' rebellicu of 179S, for which he was arrested, but, escaping,fled to this country, and, hav? ing engaged in bu.-iness as a merchant died at an advanced age in this city. The early education of young Magrath was received at Bishop England's school, where he remained until 1827. i when he entered the South Carolina i college, and was graduated thence with I high honors in 1831, the Ilev. James ? 1J. Tbornwell, the distinguished Pres ? byterian divine, being one of his class j mates. Ile studied law under the late ! James L Petigru, and in \S3'2 entered I the law school at Harvard university, j graduating thence uuder the direction \ of Judge Story. j Admitted to the bar in 1835, he at . once commenced the practice of his pro i fession in Charleston under the most i favorable auspices ile was elected to i the state legislature as a member from j Charleston in 18-10 and re-elected in ! 1842, and at the expiration of that term ; withdrew from active political life and ! devoted all his energies to his profes I sion In 1850, when separate state j action was urged by a large party in j the state, he was conspicuous among j those who opposed and defeated it. lu ! the convention called for the consider? ation ofthat question be was elected ! and eat as a member from Charleston, j In the discussion of the excitiug politi ! cal questions of the day he contributed ; many articles to the press iu j opposition to squatter sovereignty in the I territories and the rights of tt-e ! i . . . ' j tia ve-hold tug states in newly-acquired j tenitory cf the United Srates. j In tho pre>idential contest between ; Taylor aui Cass he sided with that por j tion of the democratic party in the state j which supported Zachary Tsylor. In j I 185G he was elect.d a delegate to represent the state at 'arge tn the demo ; eratic convention at Cincinnati for ! tho nomination of a candidate for the ? presidency, but before thc meeting of ? the couveirtiou he was appointed in I April of that year, by President Pierce, j j district judge of the state of South j : Carolina aud thereupon resigned his ' place in the convention. At the time j j of his promotion to the bench he was in j : the enjoyment of a very lucrative prac- j j tice iu his profession,and during h?s ten- | j ure of this judicial of?ce raised by his : efforts the United States courts in the ; state of South Carolina to a positiou of i high distinction Ile coutinued on tho bench until j November, 18(50, when the election of ! Abraham Lincoln produced everywhere ! in the slave-holding states the greatest . excitement Judge Magrath, yielding j to his sense of obligation due to his ? state, and recognizing its rights in thc j ; great contingency which had been thus . j brought about, immediately ses-t rn hi- ! ; resignation to President Buchanan on I I November 7:h of trrst year. In his j ? letter of resignation to the president ? j Ire wrote : ('Should that conflict ari.^e I ! I wo**ld not hesitate in my conduct. I ' shall devote mv best energies to sustain I the state of South Carolina in Whatever j position she may resolve to occupy in j this crisis. The execution of my pur ! pose in this respect might be productive I of some embarrassment to you if you were not aware of it untri the omer- j gef?cy arose. In anticipation, there? fore, of that occasion I resign now iuto your hands as judge of the United States i for the state of South Carolina.. At the opening of the court Judge . Magrath delivered the final decree in a ! ... i j case then pending and inquired of the j i grand jury if they had any presenttr-enrs j j to make. In reply the foreman, Mr. j j R. N. Gourdin, said : '"The verdict of j the northern section of the country i ! announced to the countrv through j the ballot box has t swept, away j j the last hope for the permanence ami ; j stability of the federal government :? the ! I vast and solemn issues which have been j : ?OTSfed upon us involve tho existence of j ? tho government. In these extraoniin- . ! ary circumstances thc g ra ntl jury : 1 respectfully declines to proceed with tl;<ir presentments " Thereupon the Judge, addressed them as f'>li<>\7>. : "The business of 'he term has been j disposed of, f . ? under ordinsjy j ; circumstances it would be my rfcity to dismiss you. In the p ?lineal history I of thc Utiit'-.i States.an ev-nt has hap? pened of omi imus import to the fifteen j t?lave holding states The state of . which we are citizens has alwavs been ? ! understood to have deliberately fixed irs . j purpose whenever that event should ! j happen. Feeling an assurance of what '. ! will be the action of the state I confider it my duty to prepare rooney its wishes. That pr?parai iori is made by the n sig- ; nation of the office I have held. F"r thc j last time I have as judge of the United 1 I St:itr.s administered the laws of tho j j United States within the !imi:s of South j Carolina. \\ iiiio thus acting in oho- ! diencc to a sense of duty I cannot be ? ??ii iii rent, to the emotions i? n.u^t ? produce. That department of theil govern m e?t, which ? believe ha? mai tained tis integrity and preserved ? purity, has been upended. So far I am concerned the temple of jusfi raided under the ccrnstirurion of t! United States is now closed If shall never again be opened ? thar God that its doors have been clos< before its altar bas been desecrated wil sacrifices to tyranny. We are aboi to sever our relations with others b cause they have bruten their co veo ai with u^. Let us not break the covenai we have made with each other. The manner and act were chuall impressive and affecting as Judp Magrath divested himself of the judici; robe, which he had worn withaccep ance, fidelity and honor to claim tr; independent position and privileges cf citizen of South Carolina, Elctjuei addresses were made to the bench b the officers of the court and the rb em bei of the bar, and a cordial tribute born to the uniform courtesy, promptituc and strict impartiality which ha distinguished Judge Magrath's judici; career: In the evening a meeting < ihe most influential men of the cit was held at the Charleston hotel, an t ii once a procession of fully 2,000 pe( pie. accompanied by a band of music marched to his private residence an in response to enthusiastic crbeefiu were addressed by the judge. The news of his resignation, whic was fellowed by other United State officers, was received with acclamation throughout the state, and Georgia, xii salutes and illuminations everywhei testified the hearty approval with whic his course was view. None of th vacated offices were filled by the Unite States government. A feeling of th mest intense excitement prevaile among all classes. An immense gathet ing of thc people took place at th institute hall, and Judge Magrath, th' Hon. W. F. Colcock and James Conne who had filled the place of distric attorney and who had resigned his plac subsequently to achieve a reputation si honorable in the army of the confederati states, and afterward in the councils o the states, were appointed to go ti Columbia and represent the feelings ant opinions of ?he people of Charleston. The resignation of Judge Magrati was then and will ever be regarded ai prominent among those events wbicl determined the relation of the ?-tate ti the government of the Uuited States and was the first overt act and irre vocable steps to its secession from th< union. Immediately after his resigna tion he was elected by a large majority at the head of the ticket as delegate tc the convention which passed the ordi nance of secession, and while still c member of that body was selected bj Governor Pickens as a leading membei of his cabinet. x\s scon as the confederate govern ment W3S established he was appointed one of the judges for the confederate states for Sonth Carolina. In the exer? cise of the duties of his o nice he waf called upon to decide many questions of public law, among which was thal of the right of thc confederate states to confiscate the property of its alieu ene nies; decisions of piise law with refer? ence to belligerent vessels bearing com? missions of the confederate states, and other important questions. ?fe re? tained the otfice until November 1SG4 when at the meeting of the legislature of that year he was elected governor o? Scwh Carolina. Governor Magrath" was inaugurated on the 20th of December, 186-i; the oath of otfice was administered by the Bon. Vf. I). Porter, when president cf the senate. The newspapers of the d-jy refer to it- as "a gala daj. * * * S brennan was ignored and a sense of temporary obliviou of ih-e wasting army hr commands and of the' horrible deeds they perpetrated indulged in al mo.-t universally. * * * From an early hour throngs of the fair ses poured- into th* statehouse by all the avenues of the city. * * * The new governor was to bc inaugurated.'' The inaugural address of Cyovc'rnor Magrath was a calm and eloquent vindi? cation of his state and an appeal to the people to bc ?rm anti undismayed amid .he rer-?r?e-; t!*<it had come upon fhe:n. During the tenure of Governor Mag rath of the gubernatorial c?5ee, the state passed through a period of the greatest and most fearful depression it has ever experienced. The treasury bankrupt., the state invaded, thc people improveris?d and discouraged; helpless in the present, hopeless in tbs future. Prior to Sherman's occupation of Col? umbia all the state archives possible were removed and the remainder des t roved. Governor Magrath, leaving the capital the same morning that it was occupied by the federal troops, re? turned to it to Did the Garden Ci?y a Se?p of smouldering ruins. At the fall of the confederacy in April, 1863, he was arrested by order of the government of the United States and confined at Fort Pulaski Know? ing that his' arrest was ordered, and' hopeless of the cantes? Governor Mag rath on thc 2?J cf May, ISi??, to tho people of South' Carolina published his last cfircial co mm un ten ti on. After referring to ihr1 ord rs Which charged him with d! .Joya*! i fy to tin; Un tied1 States, having committed sundry and divers ac'* <>f treason against the same ami forbidding obedience to lum as the governor of the state, he said : "I can-not, under all th-."! circum? stances which surround V'U expose you '<.> the consettunices which will be produced becau-c < \ anv < ;?-irt on my part- fruitless :i not mis^i Hit-vous as ir must be-to exercise th??<e functions"'! which you in your confidence have committed to rsc. Nor am 1 willing that, without such consequences to you while in the executive chair of thc state I shall be held forth to the world charged wilh crime with? out the most positive declaration that j I am ready lo meet and repel it wher? ever and by whomsoever made, in that ! peculiar condition of our affairs which is now exposed to great peril, that my j duty, whether considered with regard to I myself, a- yur executive, or to von as a ' penplo whose welfare is dear to tuc, is at, ot:::e plain and impera ive. I will not introduce within ibis ?-fate discord r?r contention, and will not allow my? self to furnish the occasion by which a single atom nf suffering can be added to that load which uow weighs so heavily ' upon you. I will not give opportunity ? for conflict between the government of the state and the government of the United States. The fanerions, there? fore, of the executive are suspended by nie from this day. * * * What ever, therefore, may be the feelings which belong to me as a man or a ci ri Sen, in a case like this where conviction precedes the hearing arid the sentence comes before the trial t feel that rt be? comes me to be mindful of the consider? ations which involve your peace and affect your welfare, I have said to you before-I say to you now-the war is over; hostilities have ceased and it is your duty to forbear opposition which is hopeless, contest which is unavailing, and reconcile yourselves that submis? sion which the government of the Unit? ed States can impose and you cannot resist. * * * In thus suspending the active exercise of the duties of my \ office. I do so with the most earnest wi.-, h that your sufferings may soon find mitigation and relief; that yc*u may retrieve the waste and loss of property which you have endured in the progress of the war, and th'-it you may experience those blessings, intel? lectual, social and moral, which under the favor of God were the great ends which I desired to accomplish. To have succeeded in these would have , secured to me a reward, the richest and only inheritance which I could have left to roy children. With regard to myself, so* far aS I am affected by the charges^ihich are made against me, I am r?^pto answer to them, or to any of them. At any tirire or place, when or where my presence ma* be desired or required for investigation, ? shall be there, if uotified thereof, with the least possible delay. Whatever I have said I believed to be true ; what? ever \ have done I believed to be right And with this consciousness of th? rectitude of my purpfSe and the integ? rity of my conduct, I shall nof avoid, delay or binder the closest scrutiny that can be devised.;; Bis companions io prison were Judge Campbell, formerly of the supreme court, the Hon. li. M. T. Hunter, the the Hon. D. L. Yule, Governor Alli? son of Florida, Coveroor Clark of Mis? sissippi, the Hon. George A. Trenholm and General Hugh R. Mercer of Geor? gia. The state convention which met in September, 1865, under the direc? tion of President Johnson, made a ?tro?g- appeal to the president for his release, but it was not until the latter end of December o'f that year That he was liberated on his parole. Released from imprisonment he re returned tc Charleston, where he re? sumed the practice of iavr, and soon re? established himself in a sGc'cessful and lucrative practice. Among those ex? cepted from the right to hold office, his disabilities not removed, bc did not take any active part in politics, brit his > opiurons were not withheld, and they constantly inculcated the wisdom of feat liberal and conservative temper which has recently been adopted, and the hap? py results cf which are now so much felt and wicely acknowledged. From the commencement o* r^be ca? reer Judge Magrath commanded a high position and large practice at the bar and few men attained to such distin guished professional eminence. There ? has been scarcely an important case while he was at the bar during the last thirty years in which he did not take a prcmrnent part. When elevated to the bench of the Uuited States court in South Carolina was in great disfavor; but little business was transacted rn it, ; parties resoling almost exclusively to the state courts Bis abilities and close attention to the duties of the o?be at once commanded the entire cool? den ce* of the bar, and in consequence of it the bu-iness of the court rapidly increased to large proportions and con? tinued ft) increase during his occupation of the bench, li ls somewhat remark? able that from thc adoption of the con? stitution of the United State's to the time when Judge Magrath was appoint? ed to the bench no term had ever been held in the western district of the state. Within a few months after his appoint? ment Judge Magrath opened the court at Greenville, with the power of a cir ? cuit as well as a district court, and the terms ot that co crt have since been ! regularlv he;d. While no one was mor? hired by hi? eontempoarbs, Judge Magrath was exceedingly popular with the younger members of the bar i!i-s genial social qualities endeared him to a host of friends, while hi's *reat public services have won for him the warm respect and confidence cf the people of hi:' r.'ative state. ?

Spiritual fte relations. On last F iday night five citizens of j this county met at a neighbor'* house and began the discussion of politics The subject was started by mentioning tbs feet that almost every farmer in that section had received notice from tbe Auditor that the township board fer j that township had increased the assess- j ment rf their real estate. The p3rry consisted of three Tiilmanites, one Con j servative and a son cf the Conservative, j The Conservative gentleman remarked '' that it was very heavy cu the people to pay the increased taxes r?i?ch less the taxes cn the increased assessment, and I that the people would suffer until a | change in the State administration took place. This was denied by the Till manite gentleman and one of them be? ing a great believer ia the "spirit rap pings'' proposed to prove by that pro? cess that the present administration was thc best that has ever been. So gath? ering around a small table and all plac? ing their bands on it one of the believers in Governor Tillman said to.the spirits that if Governor Tiliman w?s a good j Governor to make the table rap. Silence j r-Mgnei sup-erne. The eonserva'ive j member of the party then said: ''If Gov? ernor Tillman is a bad Governor rap. J Immediately the table raised up and rapped. Another one of the 1*1:1 m au gentlemen who has been a great believ? er in " spirit. rappings,; wanted to try his ?rand and be said to the spirits that "if there was any good at ?ll in Governor Ti?man to make tbe table rap." I/eathlike stillness was the re? sponse. The Conservative now took a second turn and {asked the spirits to make the table rap if Governor Tillman was the worst Governor the State ever had. Again the table refused to move. The request was somewhat modified and the Conservative said: "If Governor Tillman is the worst Governor the State has ever had except Scott, Moses and Chamberlain, rap. The Tillman men were rather startled when the uble begin to rs2 and then went down. Elated with tbs revelations the "spir? its" were making the Conservative gentleman coucluded to venture a little further ar i a>ked the "spirits" to make the table rap if Sheppard would have mads a better Governor than Tillman. The "spirits'' complied with the request and the table rappr/i. "Make it rap three times'' said one of the Tillman men. ' Rap twice more" said the con? servative and immediately in succes? sion the table rapped twice. Becoming continued that the "spirits'-" were "agin" Governor Tillman they brought j the rappings of the spirits to a close One geutleman p're?eot had aiways j been a great believer in ?pirits, so much | so that it is said he often communed j with them about some departed friend, thc changes in the weather and in fact j almost everything he wished to know. : Thc story as related above is vouched for by the conservative gentleman present and he stated that it was an j actual occurrence and would not be j denied by at y of the gentlemen.

We are indebted to the correspondent of thc Times in Paris, whose happy function it is to furnisi? arti>t:c . news about artistic toilettes to readers (of the j correspondent's sex?) for authoritative j information that the reign of crinoline j is not yet. This cheerful intelligence ! comes from two very high sources, one ! : the supreme French dressmaker of his time, and1 the, otti2r an Englishman of equally undcubtiog supremacy. It is characteristic of their respective races, perhaps, that the Englishman says that crinoline will not be used, and cites .he decisive fact that "twelve"-note the proud exactness of this numeral, not a dozen, ncr any vague expression of number, but precisely twelve-''roya! ptrsonages'' whom he has had the hon? or to wait upon for instructions as to^ their wardrobes hare not mentioned j crinoline.
