James H. Rion. (
Perhaps no event in the history of
Winnsboro has produced a deeper
impression than the death of Col.
James II. Rion, which occurred at his
home at three o'clock on the morning
of Sunday the 12th inst. Sudden
death carries with it ever something
more of sadness than that which arises
from the announcement that a man,
having run his course, having finished
his work, has been called hence to
Eternity. This is especially true when
the summons comes to one upon whom
the community justly looked as a
model of prudence, temperance and
those other virtues the practice of
which is enjoined as well as a means
of prolonging life as of discharging its
several duties. From the standpoint |
of human judgment, Col. Rion seemed !
to have before him many years of ac- j
tivity and usefulness. To close and
interested observers there had been,
for some months past, signs of a falling
off in activity, but these even were
not always observable. On the very
day which was Col. Riou's last on
earth, it was remarked that h& was in
unusually fine spirits. It was the
anniversary of his.wedaing day. To
celebrate this, lie had at his home a
few of his friends, besides those merabeisof
his family living in Winnsboro.
It w as alout six o'clock on Saturday
afternoon when he was stricken with
a severe pain which caused him, conscious
as he seemed to be of the bodily
infirmity with which he was afflicted, i
to utter at once the word angina. It:
was at first supposed that he had sc;f- j
fered a stroke of paralysis, but it was |
soon apparent that his own diagnosis I
was the true one. He was dying of
neuralgia of the heart. Perfectly
conscious, though at times suflering
great pain, he conversed freely with
those around, touching the condition
of his affairs, the disposition of his
estate, and other matters sacred to
those to whom he spoke. The end at
last was painless and peaceful.
James Henry Rion was born in
Montreal, Canada, on the 17th April,
1828. His parents were Euglish, his j
father being an engineer in the ?ng- !
l lish army. He was educated chiefly i
in Pendleton, S. CM where he was an ;
& inmate of ihe family of Johu C. CalA
hoan. He was prepared to enter the
"West Point Military Academy, but
K afterwards became a student in the
South Carolina College. From this
Sj? institution he graduated, with the
first honor of his class, in December,
R 1850. Early in 1851 he came to Winns-!
R boro, taking a professorship in Mount
Zion Institute. He was admitted to
R the bar in 1S54, and from that time
HpP he stood in the very front rank. On
R the breaking out of the War of Seces-:
^ siou he was elected colonel of the
rSixtn Kegiment 01 ooutn vjarouna
Volunteers, and served with that command
until his resignation in Jnne,
1861. Returning home he at once
raised a company, which was afterwards
assigned to the Seventh Battalion
of Rifles, commanded by the
late Col. P. H. Nelson. Of this fine
body of troops Col. Rion was soon
made major, and, upon the death of Col.
Nelson in 1864, was promoted to the
position of lieutenant-colonel. He
served on the coast of this State, and in
Virginia, passing through many of the
hardest fights of the war. He was
three times wounded?on Morris Island
in 1S63, at Drurv's Bluff in 1864, and
in one of the battles around Petersburg
later in the same year. In 1863, while
major, the Secretary of "War offered
him tho ( nmmanfl nf Hif> Rpcri
ment, but he declined it. The offe.r
was afterwards renewed on the death j
of Cel. Dantzler, bat again declined.
It is also said that Col. Eion migho i
have been a brigadier, but upon the
offer of (hat post he coupled with his
acceptance the condition that he should
be allowed to take the Seventh Battalion
into any command that should
be given him. This condition seems to
have been unacceptable to the Confederate
authority. At the close of the
war Col. Rion resumed the pi-actice of
his profession, and very soon acquired
an extensive clientage. Few iinpor- i
tant causes have been heard in the !
courts in Fairfield, iu which he was
not engaged as counsel. His practice
was by no means confined to Fairfield,
but extended into other counties, covering
perhaps larger territory than that
of any other lawyer in South Carolina.
He was likewise counsel for several j
railroad companies, and for the Winus-j
boro National Bank.
It was as a lawyer that Col. Iiion
achieved his reputation in South Carolina.
The qualities that brought him
success were a fine intellect well
traiued, admirable business habits, industry
and punctuality in his urofes- j
sion, and devotion to his clients'in-1
terests. It was not only the great
lawsuit involving large interests and
promising great rewards, but also the
rights and interests of the humblest,
that excited bis sympathy, and called |
forth a zealous discharge of his duty, j
Some of his ablest efforts in the court- j
house were those in which there was
no hope of gain even in the event of.
success. Not gifted with the "graces of j
oratory", he was yet an exceptionally '
strong pleader. Before a jury l.e was j
very forcible, notwithstanding he said j1
little to excite feeling, though quite i1
enough to carry conviction. His oral j i
arguments were noted for a consecu- j
tiveness, a logical arrangement, which : .
might have led to the supposition that1
they were written out beforehand.
Such was not the case. lie spoke ,
simply from very brief notes. In the
courts of last resort, where he ap- i .
i peared in numbers of important
causes, his printed arguments were j ^
pfe especially strong and exhaustive. 11
EL Ji was in just recognition of his 1
standing' as a lawyer, that the authori-!
tics ot mviason uonege, m iceo, con-1
ferred upon Coi. Rion the degree of;
Doctor of Laws.
Col. Rion never helil* public office?
preferring to devote himself to his |
calling as a lawyer. More than once !
the highest honors ol his profession j
were at his command, bathe made it j
understood that he would accept no I
office whatever. In the course of his I
life he filled several places of honor j
and trust. lie was major of the battalion
of cadets in MountZion Institute, j
and received from them the gift of a :
emAivl onrl kfllf T n 1 Q Q Kd !
liaiillOi'iiiv; on viu anu t'^iu xu uv j
wasclected colonel of the 25th Regiment j
of State militia. In 1859 he was made j
president of the Planters' Bank ofj
Fairfield. lie was for many years a
useful member of the Mount Zion
Society, and the chairman of its Board
ot Trustees. He was on the Board of
Trustees of the South Carolina College,
and that institution had nowhere a
warmer or truer friend. He was a
director of the Winnsboro National
Bank, and a director of the Charlotte,
Columbia & Augusta and ol the Greenville
Columbia Railroad.
Though always declining public
office JCol. Rion was true to the re
quirements 01 mscitizensmp, 111 laKitig
part in the affairs that concerned the
welfare of the State. He was a member
of the State Convention of 1865,
and of well-nigh every Conservative
or Democratic Convention held since
the surrender. He represented South
Carolina in the National Democratic
Executive Committee in 1876, and
took an active part in the campaign in |
this State. In the struggles before the j
Courts, lo get peaceable possession of!
the State Government, he bore a prom-!
inent and useful part.
In private life Col. Rion made warm
friends. He was hospitable and charitable?charitable
in ways that preAf

deeds known of inen. To the widow '
and the orphan of the Confederate :
soldier, to the suffering survivors of
the war, he was ever ready to lend a
helping hand.
Col. Rion was married, on the 11th
December, 1851, to Miss Mary C. i
Weir, a lady of strong intellect and
much culture. He leaves also three !
sons and four daughters.
To the people of Wiunsboro, most j
especially, is Col. Rion's death a
severe blow. It takes from the town !
one of its most useful and honored j
citizens.

of the Senate and its committees.

Of late there has been considerable
speculation over the election of a Senator
from North Carolina to succeed
Gen. Iiansom, and the names of several
gentlemen have been mentioned
as his probable successor. The election
will not take place for two years,
and all of the best posted men in
North Carolina politics say that it is
folly for any one to talk of succeeding
Gen. Ransom as long as he lives.
However, Mr. Jarvis is one gentleman
who differs from the opinion of the
majority.
The London Truth of a recent date j
says: "The Bishop of Manchester has j
more piuos iuan uiu uiajunuv ui cuunext
ecclesiastics. lie has dared to
own frankly that he has tried total
abstinence and finds it does not agree ;
with him. At the close of the second j
year he broke down utterly and was
told by his doctor that he must either
give up half his work or take a light
stimulant with his principal meal.
There are a great many brain workers
who will feel more comfortable when
they find a Bishop in their company.

Gen. John B. Clark, clerk of the !
House of Representatives, has com-1
pleted and caused to be printed an !
unofficial list of the members of the
House for the Fiftieth Congress. He ;
classes them as 168 Democrats, 12U j
Republicans and -i Independents, with i
one vacancy (Rhode Island) to be filled ;
probably by a Republican. One hun j
dred and ninety-five of the number j
are old members, being ten more than j
the number of old members in the }
present Congress. Of the old mem-1
bers 100 are Democrats and 95 arc j
Republicans. If the Independents !
divide, as they are expected to do, ;
equally between the two sides, it will j
give the Democrats a majority of four- j
teen in a full House. This is pretty j
close, but it is better than no majority !
at all.

member of the anDrooriations com- !
which can be taken as pretty fairly
representing the existing feeling of the
people of our country:
What should President Cleveland do
during the next two years in order
that} Democratic success may be assured
1SSS?
Col. Alexander McClure, of the
Philadelphia Times, writes: "If
Cleveland keeps straight along he will j
be his own successor."
Charles A. Dana, of the New York
Sun, antagonizes the above with the J
following: "lie should, in most respects,
do differently from what lie has
done dnrin<r the last two vears."
Samuel Bowles, of the Springfield
Republican, says: "He should steadfastly
live up to the principles enunciated
in his letter accepting the nomination
for the Presidency and in his
letter of December 25, 1S84, to George
William Curtis."
F. W. Dawson, of tl-e Charleston
News and Courier, writes: "Let
him go on to the end in the way he has
been going from the beginning."
M. M. Gillam, of the Philadelphia
Record, says that he should fill the
offices with wide-awake, representative
Democrats as speedily as possible,
under liberally interpreted civil
service rules, and allow the men so
appointed to work for the party.
Melville E. Stone, of the Chicago
7iT<5j/?o cave- "Hp should be able to I
go before the country with confidence
upon his record. If, however, it be
true that the majority of the American
people do not approve of his policy,
do not regard 'A public office as a
public trust,' rather than a partisan
reward; if it be true that the general
sentiment of the country may beairayed
against an honest, faithful and
intelligent administration of the Presidential
office, then the attention of
thoughtful minds may be well turned
to a weightier question than the welfare
of the President or his party."
_ StiUson Hutchins writes thai Cleveland
lias strengthened ujg outside
its natural lines. He Rhwjld now
consolidate and energize it. He has
no doubt of Democratic success in
Tvif)i or vcifhnnt ('leveland. but
thinks it would be just like Cleveland
to positively decline a renomination.
George W. Abeli, of the Baltimore
Sun, commends Cleveland for keeping
his pledges and chides the party for
love of spoils.
Taxation aud Labor.
The report of Mr. Manning, Secretary
of the Treasury, deals pointedly
with the important questions touching
Taxation aud Labor. The Baltimore
Sun commends the report as a singularly
clear and able deliverance by the
head of the financial department upon
the important fiscal questions which
have engaged public attention for
some years. The report opens with
an elaborate presentation of the silver
question, sketching briefly the attitude
of foreign powers towards it, and
summarizing the policy of this government
a? clearly in favor of discontinuing
the purchase of silver as "our
only choice, our duty and our interest,"
and he answers the objection
that it will cause a fall in its purchasing
power with the assertion "that no
prospective fall can be so harassing to
the treasury as the perpetual inpour of
a coin made full legal tender for its
face, yet not worth its face, which
the treasury* is exDected to emnlov like
gold, as if it weue worth its face."
But the subject discussed to which
public attention will be chiefly directed,
refer to the question of taxation,
and more especially with reference to
the wages of labor. He addresses
himself to a discussion of a reduction
of our present surplus taxation, referring
at length to the pledged policy
of the party in power as contained in
the platform upon which it received
public indorsement. Tne Secretary
shows that we have now a "prolonged
war tariff," being within a fraction of
the highest tariff enacted daring the
war. He suggests various remedies
in the way of reduction, but dwells
with great force upon the absolute
necessity of once abolishing the tax on
wool, as upon all raw material. He
shows that we pay to labor the highest
wages in the wcrld, and that highly
paid labor and cheap production are
correlative terms; that high wages !
means efficient labor always, and that
the bugbear of pauper labor has no
significance for us. But he further
demonstrates that all the advantages
we possess are multiplied "by our
self imposed disadvantage of tariff
taxed raw material, w ith which our
labor is inwrought." We are thus i
compelled to compete with other manufactures
where no such incubus is
felt, and in addition the necessary
result of the two combired, our war
tariff and our policy of taxing raw
material, "has needlessly increased the
cost of clothing, shelter and food to
every family."
The Secretary respectfully recommends
to Congress that they confer at (
once upon the wage-earners of the
United States the boon of untaxed!1
clothing, and to this end they itnme- j
rtiofftli- rises .111 nr?f "*imnlv and snlplv I
placing raw wool upon the free list."
rhe repeal of this duty, he states,
would, of course, "require a compensating
adjustment of the duties on
manufactured woolens whilst our
manufacturers are learning the lesson
that with the highest paid and most
jfficient labor in the woncl, with the j
most skillful management and the best
inventive appliances, they need fear '
no competition from any rivals in the 1
world in home or foreign markets, so !
long as they can buy their wools free, '
of every kind." How far Congress '
will ?ee proper to act upon the Secretary's
suggestion, or indeed to do
anything toward revenue reform, is
not by any moans clear. It may be
that in the sixty or seventy working
days of the short session no general
bill will be discussed and enacted, but
there arc certain oppressive features
which can be readied, and such palpable
errors as have from time to time
been pointed out ought to be corrected.
The Secretary pays his compliments to
the "protection" theory in an eminently
practical and arithmetical fashion.
He demonstrates, by actual computation,
that of the twenty millions of
persons engaged in gainful work of
this country only five per cent, are
subjected to foreign competition, or
rather whose employers are so jsubjected,
tariff or no tariff; that last
year one hundred and n^ty-three
millions was the increase price paid
on imported commodities, which incidentally
benefitted one million of
people and oppressed the remaining
nineteen millions. The Secretary
thinks the proposition to make this
unequal incidence the actual purpose
of our taxation is not a proposition to
do what the constitution requires, '*to
ievy and collect taxes for the general
welfare," nor does it conform to the
spirit of the law that "duties, imports
and excises shall be uniform throughout
the Unitt-d States.'-' And in all
this a very large number of people
will agree with him.
