Tns enmrniftpp nn invalid npnsions have reported favorably a bil! granting a pension of $2,000 per annum to Mrs. Hancock, widow of the late Gen. Hancock. The fand raised by private subscription for her benefit amounts now to nearly forty thousand dollars; so she will have a very comfortable income. Thk vacancy caused in the United States Senate by the death of jfenatoi Miller will of course be filled by a Democrat. HI, term would have expired in 1887, and the Governor 01 California being a Democrat, and vested with the power of appointing s successor to fill the unexpired term, will of coarse secure a Democrat. Senator Stanford lus determined to increase his gift to the col lege founded by him 111 California to ?2U,000,000. His gifts to the institution already amounts to one-fourth of thai amount, and should he carry out his determination it would be the largest passed by the General Assembly 01 that State. It is annorrnccd that a!readv there is talk of comitrg campaigns on that question throughout the State, and that the issue will be wade in Richmond. This question seems to be growing in favor throughout the country, and every election shows some gains by the Prohibitionists, and must in time becomc a national issue.

In Hampton county a little negro, who had hardly reached the age of respon sibilifcy, was cruelly murdered by a mob, while his victim improves under the assault. Some check must be put npon this lynching, or there is no telling to what extent k may ran. The mob will soon attempt to do away with the courts of justice altogether. It is the duty of everv citizen to >ee that the law is enforced, and now is as good time as any to commence the good work. In accordance with the resoluion of Mr. Boutclle, adopted the Jatter part ?f January by Congress, requesting the Secretary of the Navy to transmit certain papers relative to the conduct of certain officials of the Norfolk uavv yard, charged with erasing inscriptions from camion and a number of others of a similar nature, the Secretary has sent a letter from Commodore Truxton, commandant of the navy yarcL This letter shows np the charges . bv Congressman Boiuelle to be false" have been a little more care^i^^^^^sassertions, ^lC statement of the co^ra^yandant of the vai"d are in direct conflic^^jjji^ithose made by him, and the public wilH*ifc? the iudire to decide the issue. lliC'^ letter is a fall and complete statement j jj of the workings ot the navy yaM, and j i shows that in all instances of removals j b ample reasons con Id be furnished. v ! t On Monday a delegation appeared j, before the ways and means committee j ^ prtn?m!ss in the interests of the ; s v"- ~~-t? rice growers of the country.

Mr. Edmunds, the acknowledged leader of his party in the Senate, fired the first gun and opened the conflict on Tuesdav. In a lengthy argument he attempts to prove that the Sen#!e not i only has the right to call for papers j relating to suspensions, but that a i Democratic judiciary committee, headed by Allan G. Thurman, had made I a similar reouest upon the Attorney | Genera", in 1S7D in regard to the removal of a Judge of a Territory. That, ! under the law he had a perfect right : to do so and that they must now are I estopped by their own actions from | contesting the right of the present ; judiciary to similar papers.

To one unacquainted wiih the section under which the Senate obtains Its power to call for ofiiciai papers, if 1! would appear that the action of the " Democratic judiciary committee was the same as tho action of the present committee, but Senator Pugh showed 1! that under the section giving the Exi ' | ecntive the right of suspension, that Judges of a Territorial Court were ex [ pressly excepted, which was a com. plete reply to the seeming plausible argument of the Vermonter. Otiiei , arguments will be made upon both . sides, and the result will dc awauec ' with interest. The Contest in the Senate. * The contest over the resolution re' "j- L?ni W: t n"'irtt U?^ pi'O?pCC t s of any dej cisive action on the subject until the P latter part of the week. Senator f Kenna, of West Virginia, fired the last , shot into the Republican camp and . j '-vith telling effect. In a masterly style . j he handled the resolution and showed , I the inconsistency of the Ilcpublicans , | in now advocating a principle which , they contested on more than one occa. sion in the Senate. In conluding, I Senator Kenna said: When President Cleveland assumed j the functions of the offico of Chief | Executive of this Government I do j not believe there is a citizen in this j land who had any reason whatever to . I doubt that he came to the discharge of , the duties of that high office delcrj mined, as far as in him lay, to devote j a conservative and patriotic applieaI tion to the discharge of his duties. I believe Ispeak within bounds when 1 say that this whole country knew that the one great idea of service to his country iu an acceptable manner, in the high capacity in which it had j selected him for that high service, was I his only aspiration, i would fail to ! express mv ovsn candid conviction i now, if I did not say that, looking ! back to a long line of his predecessors i in that hitrh office, and confronting :is he may the issues presented here, he I will not be the first in surrendering its j high prerogative. The Senate may | continue, as his message indicates, to | ply him and his various subordinate J departments with harassing and emi barrassing issues; it may defeat every nomination that stands before it fur consideration; it may assert in any | measure, arbitrarily or otherwise, 1 every prerogative granted or not I granted in the Constitution; but 1 I m>take that man if he does not stand j tirmlv to his post, maintain his sworn duty under the Constitution of his i country, maintain every prerogative | of his high office and transmit it unimpaired to his successor.

The Z-'aruiri's* C?:iVi>;:tiun. ; An addres* t? tlie firmer* of the I State, signed by ninety-two practical j ! farmers, ca'.ls for a convention io be i | held in Columbia on * lie 20t.ii of April, j ! In calling the conveiitiuii they discuss I i the question of unity among the i | farmers as the only way in which they ! i will get their rights and promote their I I own welfare. In the opening of the ; address they say: "We may justly j : claim that we constitute the State, yet j j we do not govern ir, nor are the laws I i administered in our interests, a:u' few ) are passed for our benelit." Such a statement from men who have ati tempted to administer the government ! for nearly ten years is a virtual admis: mom that tlicy arc unable to govern | themselves. We have noi consulted ! statistics, but we venture the assertion j 11 Kit at no time since 'seventy-six have j our farmers been in the minority in I the General Assembly, in the State offices or in any other branch of the State Government. Every one knows thai the majority have it in their power j to pass such laws as they may deem I 1 \r*L t .in/1 if" Iinvn f.iiln,! /?r\ fhic I who in the name of God is responsible : for the failure? They insinuate that i the government is run by a ring. | Who, pray, constitute the ring? Is it ! not the fanners of the State who have i been elected to office by the votes of i the fanners who constitute, according ; to their own statements, seventy-six : per cent, of the State's population? ! Why, then, this dissatisfaction when by their own statements combined . j with facts they acknowledge that they ,! have had it in their power since 'Sevi enty-six to pass any law to advance i their rights which they might deem j proper. By their own argument the moment ' j a farmer is elected to office he is dis' qualified l'roui the fact that he is a member of the ring, and simply a I member of the ring from the fact that ; he is unable to attend to the duties of | his office and farm at the same time, , | and he must give the latter up. lie is . i 110 longer then a farmer, but a member of the ring which runs the govern'! ment according to their own beliefs, and forgets that he was ever a farmer j and cares nothing for their interests, i Such a state of affairs wili not bear , j the test of sound reasoning. But ': again the address says: 'j The Legislature which recently ad journal, uiongn not eorrupr, nas occn : very negligent of the public welfare. ' j The thoughtful and indigent farmers i; of the State cannot afford to elect anI other such body of law-makers and Constitution breakers. Nor can they i afford to allow the agricultural interests ot the State to be subordinated to I everything else, and no effort made to '! foster and protgc^tl^ei^. . * i .vinsr, are cloing ten times as much " to encourage and assist those engaged ': in farming. But the money sent is ! i not entrusted to politicians or to those elected by politicians. The farmers manage and control it themselves. ; Who, from the foregoing, then, is . | responsible for the neglect of the pub. | lie welfare? The majority of that i j body was composed of farmers of the i j State, and the failure to promote the i no-rifnlfnrnl intpwsie ntusf ltnnn i their own heads?the heads of farmers. : Will (he intelligent fanner then seek J to hold even the politician responsible i when they (the farmers) hail it in i irteh power to defeat any measure i calculated to prejudice their interests, j "South Carolina," says Gen. M. C. Butler, "is the most economically jrovI erned State in tiie Union." If the j farmers nave had in lheir power1 the ! right to govern the State, who, pray, | can be !?eld responsible for (he failure j except themselves; It anything' can | done to secure us :i better government, I we will 'gladly join any class of men ; to do it, but in doing ft there should j I be a proper regard lor the welfare of; } all classes of men, whether thev be I farmers or not, so they live under our | ' government.

Much, sometimes. The ; name bv which the followers of Christ are called is fall of meaning. In it are crystalized both a history and description of those who bear it. j It is a remarkable fact* that "the j disciples were called Christians first in Autioch." This heathen city was so magnificent that the fastidious Greeks i 1'm1 if. "Antioah. the Beautiful." I The Romans used to call it "The ! Queen of the East." But it was as i vile as beautiful. It was Satan's ! stronghold. Is it not singular that i this name, so appropriate, so honoraj ble in the world to-day, should have come from this centre of heathenism and vice, this first heathen city in which tlie Gospel was preached? The time is also worthy of passing notice. Not while Christ lived was it I 2^1 VOU, IL'A JJ.13 UilUlWU ?? UO 1JUK I.UCU j foimed; not on the Day of Pentecost, for the Church was still Jewish; not until, driven from Jerusalem, they had established a church in a heathen city and received into it imcircumeised Gentiles. The time was come when a distinct i name must be given, the disciples. It was necessary to distinguish them from the Gentiles, on the one hand. They were worshipers of one God, i not of sods many and lords many; j they lived for the future, not the present; they were singularly pure in j their lives, not openly wicked like the | citizens of Antioch; their whole character and mode of life was so differI ent froiiLihe Gentiles that they coukl 13ut t ??** leiuovcft [ from the Gentiles; why not then-call j the disciples Jews ? Heretofore tbev had been looked upon as a me:e sect, i or party of the Jewish Church, like ; tiie Pharisees, Sadducees, or Essenes. I They had continued to worship in the j iempJe winie in Jerusaium; mere tuey : observed the Sabbath -and annual i feasts; even the rite of circumcision j was the door of admission to the | church. But now iu Antioch a very j different state of things had been j brought about. The church doors I had been, thrown open to all the J world, and heathen converts were | gladly received. Circumcision was j declared unessential, the Mosaic ritj ual was abandoned, the Koly Spirit j was*poured out alike on Jew and ! /~i i._i- rni. ~l ~ i ; ureuiue. xiutL ;i uiauucute JLIHLIH; ! must now be given to the disiplec j speaks well for both the growth and purity of the .young church. The new name could not have origj inated with the Jews. It embodied the name of the Messiah. Though they had lost the power of the true ret 1.1 i r ii ugioiJ, iiiey reiaiueu lis iuiiu, iiiey still looked for "The Christ," and it is not probable that they would have applied the name to the followers of one whom they believed to be a dead impostor. If thev had called the disciples by either name of their leader it would have been Jesuits, from Je- j one T-Ttc lminrm n-mio Tii flio ! Jews hated the disciples and called j them "the sect of the Nazareues," a j term of great contempt, referring to j the insignificant low town from which their leader came. At other time's they called them "Galileans," a term scarcely less opprobious. Nor did the name originate in the j church. The followers of Christ call i themselves "Brethren," because they j are sons of one Father, and hence j brothers. They speak of themselves! as "Disciples," that is learners or pu-; pils, sitting at the feet of Jesus, their ; Teacher. They use the name of ; lievers," because they trust in God j and his Son. The name "Christian" j i _ otilf fliv/iA in I .O KO&U v/lii > IUIV.U Ui?iVO Hi tuv I Testament, and in euch case is tinged I with reproach. It must have been coined by the j heathen inhabitants of Antioch. They ! were famous for wit, aid for giving ! nicknames. Some of the emperors did not escape. The term christian ox, j in the New Testament, is the Greek I translation of a Latin name, and j means a partisan of Christ, just as i Herodian is a partisan of Herod. It j was a term of contempt, given in ! ridicule to call attention to the fact I that those who bore it were the fol- j lowers of a dead pretender. But the i name, thus contemptuously given, has ; become au honorable name in all the j world, while the city which gave it i has become a bv-word. Iu .the same I .. ..1.1.,.. .1 ? i iiiiuiuci, uiutri Ltriiiib uucu u^cu iii uc- J risioii have become names of honor, as i Protestant, Puritan and Methodist. I This name is no ie.ss significant in j its meaning than origin. Observe its ! significance. It reminds us that we are the fol- i lowers of a divine, not human leader. ! Christ is the divine name of our Mas- j tor, Jesus His human name. The | former denotes him the Son of God, i the latter, the S >n of Man.

So Ho does not say to His people "Go/ do," but "Follow Tvle." A "Christian" is one who maintains the honor of Christ at all costs.

Let those who bear the liatae of "Christian," so conduct themselves that they will honor the name of their Master. To sum it all up, the significance of this new name may be seen by changing one of its letters, a Christian is a Christ man. 'Old Sorrel." . 1 ? . stonewall jackson s wab ii0rse retorted to ee dying.
