XcHOXAJLDS J It has been announced 011 authority that Mr. Blaine will go to Europe next month. He is said to be in need of rest, but nobody has been able to discover what he has been doing- to make him tired. Perhaps it was watching John Sherman.

It is now asserted that the President tendered the office to John Qaincy Adams. Mr. Adams debated the matter some time and and finally declined the honor. He told Mr. Cleveland that so long as his father, the late Charles Francis Adams, Sr., was alive, he did not feel at liberty to accept public oCioe. The New York Herald, having coucladed that Grady would not prove so acceptable for the second place on the ticket, as it had at first supposed, very mercilessly dropped that gentle- j man and substituted in his stead the j Eon. Henry "Watterson. But the J fiery Kentuckian could perceive no compliment in it, and took the occasay apropos in the Jast issue of his paper that he happened to know who the second man would be, that he would neither be an editor nor in any way related to one. He did not say, however, how be came by his information. The route taken by the Czar and Czarina in their journey into the Don Cossack country was guarded through-! out its entire length, 1,150 miles, by sentinels carefully selected from the different branches of the Eussian military service for their bravery and trustworthiness, and no person not giving a wholly satisfactory account of himself was permitted to approach within gunshot of the road until long after the Emperor and his escort had passed. Costly traveling, we should sav. The ruler who is so afraid of his own people ought to resign, even though he has "divine right" to his throne. But the most remarkable thing about the Czar just now is the way in which he helps to illustrate the progress of liberal ideas throughout the world. Many ot the most thoughtful of men are now ready to admit that there are two sides even to a question of assassination. In the case of 9 the Russian people it is the one desperate alternative to submission to tyranny. Unintelligible. "Railroad official," in his letter inquiring into Mr. McMaster's position on the railroad question, asks: Are you not aware that in making the rate* from York to Winnsboro the question of water competition is an element and that the rate is made on the lowest combination* and that. Hiu Joogp ?2mmvv" no such element will enter into it or be permitted, and that the rate to "Yvinnsboro and other interior towns will be much higher than now ? I think if he was aware of these facts he would not have writlen as he did. The enforcement of the fourth section would kill interior towns. The nnesjir?n is rmirifpllrorihle. While he was about it"Railroad official" onght to have explained what he meant bv saying that ''water competition is an element, and that the rate is made on the lowest combination." He ought to have told, too, how it was that "under the long and short hanl clause no such element will enter into it or be permitted." If he had done these things he would have given some leason why it is that he "thinks" that if Mr. McMaster had been aware of these facts that he would not have written as he did. "Railroad official" further says: "That the enforcement of the fourth section would kill interior towns." For this timely exhibition of generous solicitude, we are of course extremely thankful. In this day of perfect peace, when the lion and lamb may lie down together, we may almost cease "to fear the Greeks eveu when TT/\?lA ? J ircaiiug i a wis. Blue L&ws. It is worse than nonsensical for the Legislature to pass an Act that is not approved by the great body of the people. It is positively harmful because it tends to destroy all respect for law. The same unfortunate result follows every effort on the part of executive authority to enforce laws that have become obsolete by reason of being oat of harmony with the spirit of the age. The people won't obey, and are therefore compelled to resort to all manner of evasions. The "old bine laws" of New York will presently furnish good illustration. The inhabitants of the cities of New York and Brooklyn have stubbornly resisted the recent efforts to enforce them; they have applied to the .Legislature witnout success to repeal it, and now the Star comes along with the following bold and significant suggestion : The question is, Shall we in New York and Brooklyn observe an enactment which is contemptuously ignored in every other part of the State? Shall we continue to revive against ourselves a dead letter which is kept npon the statute book only because it is irksome and oppressive to us? Or shall we do as the Pharisees in the couutry do, take the course that is most agreeable to ourselves and commend to our neighbors what to them is most repulsive. There is no doubt about the final outcome of it. The Deoole of New York City don't believe in the law, and they are not going to respect it long. The Legislature was given an opportunity to save itself from contempt and it would not. Now we shall see what we shall see. Barrett's Imperial Cologne Cannot be surpassed for Fragrance, elegance and durability. McMaster, Brice & Ketchin. The Lawyer's. Fame. It was the wish of Hume's iamily ! that he should be a lawyer, and he went so far as to commence the study of the law; but it seems to have been distasteful to him, and he says himself: "While they fancied I was pouring upon Voetand Vinnius, Cicero and Virgil were the authors which I was secretly devouring." If David Hume had continued the prosecution 01 aw siuu) ui mc ia>* posterity would probably have heard but little of him. The greatest of the English philosophers would hardly have said of him as he did a short while ago in a public address at Edenburg, "That I make bold to pronounce David Hume the greatest philosopher that the eighteenth century produced, even thongh that century produced a Kant." j Prof. Huxley tells us in his life of , Hume that "there appear to have been in Hume all the elements of which a good lawyer is made; clearness of judgment, power of rapidly acquiring knowledge, untiring industry, and dialectic skill; and if his mind had not been preoccupied, he might have fallen into the gulf in which many of the world's greatest geniuses lie buried?professional eminence?and might have left behind him a reputation limited to the traditional recollections of the parliament house or associated with important decisions." This is highly complimentary to the bar, bnt it is a warning to the youthful votary of fame. The lawyer's fame is his contemporary and it dies with him. Lord Erskine, the greatest advocate that the English bar ever produced, is even now scarcely known beyond the circle of his professional successors; and Mansfield, Hale and Hardwicke live only in the great judicial decisions which they rendered. On the Line of Promotion. It is understood that Professor McBrydo will soon resign the presidency of the South Carolina College, and the important duty of electing his successor will be devolved upon the board of trustees. These gentlemen, we doubt not, will discharge the duty satisfactorily. The prime end which -w-r-,'"i T V.r\I,-1 ? n rnnxrr txm 11 Via (-Tip | cucy vvxii uuivi an vivu ?t ***. w %MV I selection of the most suitable man for the place, and in casting about for such a person they should confine themselves to the field of professional educators. There are very substantial reasons why they should not cross this boundary. It will strike most persons that the proper thing for the board of trustees to do will be to select a successor to Prof. McBryde from among his colleagues on the faculty. These gentlemen have the first claims upon the place; they stand on the line of promotion, and the elevation ot one of them to the presidency will be alto! ffether in harmony with the fitness of ! things, and, we believe, will subserve the best interests of the institution. If, however, the board of trustees cannot find a suitable person among I the gentlemen now associated with JW-?'McRrT"de; on the faculty,, then. iuey snwiuu go to me lacuity 01 some other college in this or some other State. We think, however, that there is a gentleman now a member of the faculty who is eminently well qualified to | meet all the requirements of the situation. He is a polished gentlemen of scholarly erudition, born with the rare faculty of governing which is so essential to success in the president of an institution of learning. We allude to Prof. R. Means Davis. His eleva! tion to the presidency would be eni tirely satisfactory to his co-laborers on j the faculty, to the students, the i alumni and the friends of the institution. It is without Pi-of. Davis's knowledge or consent that we make j this use of his name. He is not a can-1 didate, we are sure, but we are equal-1 ly certain that if called upon to discharge the duties of president, that he should not, and will not refuse. We commend Prof. Davis to the board of trustees as a suitable person to succeed Prof. McBryde. He possesses the executive ability, to crowd the essentials into a commonplace phrase, which will insure his success in the office. | Are We Governed Too 3Iucli ? The New York Sun instances the inter-State Commerce Act, the Sunday Excise Law and the Half-Holiday Act as proof that "we begin to be governed too much." We are opposed to having the Government undertake or do anything that the people can better do for them" selves. But we do not regard the inter-State Commerce Act or the Half! Holiday Law as being in the direction ! ot a dangerous centralization. The former is expressly authorized in the Provision of the Constitution giving ongress power to "regulate commerce among the several States." The necessity for its enactment grew out of the practice of the railroads to make discriminating and therefore unjust tariffs, and from the inability of the States to deal with corporations controlling long lines of transportion. It is simply a reminder to tne servants that they are not greater than their master.?JV". Y. World. "We agree with the Sun that "we are beginning to be governed too much." Latterly many laws have been enacted in this country which ought never to have been enacted, and which ought now to be straightway repealed; but the inter-State commerce law is far from being among the number, and in classing it as such the Sun betrays its ignorance of the principle which it endeavors to invoke. The ablest of political philosophers, who ar^ue that there is a limit in the nature of things, to the scope of legitimate governmental interference, are the late John Stuart Mill and Mr. I Herbert Spencer, neither of whom, we venture to say, ever dreamed that his teachings would ever be degraded in ther vice of so unrighteous a cause. Mr. Spencer is the author of the great "law of equal freedom'7 which would prohibit an individual or corporation from making such use of his or its property as would trench upon the equai rights of other people, and against the transgressor of this law he would invoke the power of the State. The authority of his name or teachings shall not be invoked against the inter-State commerce law. And as to Mr. Mill he has spoken | for himself in a way that all under- ( ing is put out of the question. Speaking. of railroads, he says: "The State should either reserve to itself a reversionary property in such public works or should retain and freely exercise the right of fixing a maximum of fares and charges, and from time to time varying that maximum." It is possible that the Sun, like the thief in possession of stolen goods, has a non-interference theory of its own. A Suggestion to the Reformers. Much has been written and spoken of late about the inefficiency of our courts of justice, the vexatious delay in the trial of civil causes, the abuses of the law which arise in practice, and the measures of correction that should be adopted. There is widespread dissatisfaction, and it must be admitted by the most conservative that there is sufficient cause for it. That estates are occasionally garbled up in course of settlement has been very recently the subject of extraordinary complaint. That suits in equity now and then outlive all the suitors is a fact tht might be proved by many witnesses on short notice. That these abuses and delays are driving the people .from court, the natural forum for the adjustment of wrongs, was a little while ago candidly admitted from the bench by one of the ablest of our circuit judges. Indeed it needs but a suggestion to to satisfy average inielligence that there is ample room for sweeping reform. Where shall it begin and where shall it end? The development of the art of stenography and the appointment of court stenographers renders readily in telligible the answer which we propose. Let the present system of referring causes to masters and referees be at once abolished, and let the Legislature provide that witnesses shall be examined in open court in all cases (except when a long account is involved) where the Judge who tries the cause can see and hear them. It may be expected that such an act will be pronounced by the lawyers generally a veritable hellbender (vide Webster). It would make a radical change in their daily business, and they are by habit and education a highly conservative class of gentlemen. But the people may be convinced, nevertheless, that it embodies a measure of permanent reform, anti if so all opposition must sooner or later vanish. Arguments against the change drawn ab inconvenienti may be disposed of very easily. If the cause be important or involve complications which require that the Judge should have time to consider it, then the stenographer taking the testimony, the whole record is complete, and decision may be reserved just as under the present pracx* _ . vr i uce. iXOl' COUiU luc uuaugi: GLua.ii an> additional iuconvenience on parties -and wifcaesses. These are reo ??? *** under the existing system to attend before a referee, It could cost them but little more to attend the hearing before the Judge. But the real merit of the measure! which we propose is not disclosed until we consider how greatly it would facilitate the administration of justice. The incalculable superiority of oral over written testimony would be thus made available in all cases. When the Judge who tries the cause sees and : hears the witnesses, the danger of' falsehood coming olf triumphant has I been reduced to the minimum. He may judge whether the witness is honest or dishonest, whether friendly, hostile or indifferent to the party calling him. lie may see whether he ! answers directly or evasively. He may note contumacious silence, contradictions and explanations, intelligence, or the want of intelligence. mn.v nnfp. tnn. the mrt nlaved bv **v """"J 7 IT C J ? ? J counsel, "learned and adroit hi all those resources of language by which the truth may be skillfully concealed or .falsehood artfully suggested." In short, he has the advantage of all the reliable securities for the trustworthiness of testimony which are entirely lost in trying causes on written evidence. But there are a number of other incidental reforms that would come with the change, that we cau only refer to just nowr The "taxed costs reference" which seem to have become such an abomination of late, would of i course be swept away. There would be no more "delays." Lawyers would be required to be ready and go on nolens volens. The stenographer would earn his money. Justice would be more faithfully administered. The people would have more confidence in the Courts. Gentlemen of the General Assembly, how say you? Grave Matter. (Sumter Watchman and Southron.) On last Monday evening it was announced upon our streets that the body of a dead man was lying in the Baptist churchyard. Immediately upon the reception of this information the entire police force with lanterns in hand headed a procession of terrified citizens and proceeded to the scene where the dead body was reported to be lying. The closest kind of a search was made for the body but without avail. Our policemen realized that the had been badly hoaxed upon the suggestion of some ODe present that perhaps the dead body reported to be lying in this yard was seve'ral feet under ground. " The originator of this huge joke cannot plume himself upon the possession of a vast amount of goca judgement. Excitement in Texas. Great excitement has been cused in the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the remarkable recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so helpless he could not turn "in bed, or raise his nead; everybody said he was dying of Consumption." A trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery was sent him. Finding relief, he bought a large bottle and a box of Dr. King's Xew Life Pills: by tli i time he had taken two boxes of pills" and two bottles of the Discover}*, he was well and had sained in flesh " thirty-six pounds.

Lamenting country cease to weep For him you'll see no more; Your star set in splendor here Adorns a brighter shore. If in the quiet walks of life Contented with his fate, Or joining in forensic strife To guard his honored State. Or if upon the bloody fields Which crimson swords had made Amidst the battle's flash and roar, Or 'neath the cannonade. He ever tried to fully reach Life's high and noble end; Exemplified the purest type Of statesman, soldier, friend. His love for country and his God, Xo sordid ends could blight; flis manly voice was ever heard Defending truth and right. And when his Slate had called him forth Her standard proud to bear, He nobly came, while hope arose And banished every fear. When battle's din was hushed, and he His country's heart had won, Amidst defeat he nobly proved A still more faithful son. Again his welcome voice was raised Against the vandal's wealth Which had grown great with force abtained By rapine and by stealth. When rescued from this alien crew, We called him higher still, And at the nation's capitol A grander trust to fill. At last this soldier, statesman, friend, Lies on his dying bed, And now in triumph goes to join The bivouac of the dead. No marble need record his fame, No palm above him wave, For deep within our hearts is fixed A love for that lone grave. April 25,1887. C w it EXCHANGES. {Manning Times.) The Farmers' Movement is the name 01 a weesiy paper swu tw ito appearance in the town of Timmonsville, Darlington county. It is to be edited by Professor Charles B. Smith, who was formerly editor of the College Student, published at Wake Forest, N. C. (Greenville News.) Some crank at Philadelphia sends out a warning that a party has been organized in that city to destroy all monuments to the Confederate dead in the South. We wish the raiders would come here and begin work on the nearest approach we have to such a monument, which is the old courthouse standing on the place where the monument ought to be. Now that the surrounding trees are cut down and " the hideousness of the old buildiug is fully developed to the public gaze, there cannot be much further delay. Surely the county commissioners cannot find it in their consciences to keepa shabby and now naked ruin at the most public place in the city while patriotic women are begging the opportunity to replace it with a beautiful monument. The Tillman 3Iovement. (Laurens Advertiser.) Curing the last political campaign this paper spent a great deal of time in trying to solve the problem as to what* constituted the Tillman movement. We heard of "Farmers' movement" on all sides, and yet, you asked one if it was a political moment, the bare suggestion would give offence. Then you would find a man who without answering the question would begin a harangue as to the right of farmers to discuss politics, and such stuff as every man knows is true, and has kv <n?yanA. Tbace who had political aspirations swallowed the myth?movement?without knowing or caring to have any welldefined idea of what the movement meant. At a recent meeting of the Tillmanites in Edgefield at which the Grand Mosul was present, and it is stated, the lawyers and doctors present could have out-voted the farmers, the Agricultural and Mechanical Association was swallowed up by the Central (Movement) Club bodily, funds and property. In giving an account of this meeting the corresponded to the Register says: It was generally deplored that the great farmers' movement throughout the State had taken on so much politics. In fact it was acknowledged even by Tillman that the masses were laboring under the sole raisapprehension that the main and only object of the movement was political. Organize One Here.. {Pee Dee Index.) Near the little town of Rising Star, in Eastman county, Texas, a curious secret society has been organized. The object of the order is to suppress idleness and make everybody work. When an able-bodied man is "found to be habitually idle he is warned by a committee to go to work or leave the community. This society is said to have converted the southern part of Eastman county into a perfect hive of industry. It is an unlawful organization, but it seems to be doing some good in the world. {New York World.) Referring' to the rush of lawyers to New York city the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says: Able lawyers who contemplate removal to New York because there is , no other city in this country large enough to accommodate their giant intellects, should remember that there are already 4,728 able lawyers in that place, and that an or tnem are not accumulating wealth rapidly. Hot every New York lawyer's shingle i3 gold that glitters, either. But think of the number of men in New York who require the constant attention of lawyers to keep them out of jail. This is the home of the big corporations managed by rich gentlemen who have poor memories.

McMaster, Brice & Ketchin. iMttSittaiintt A FATAL MISTAKE. The Cleveland (Ohio)-Press,1 of February 23d, 1883, published an account of a fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among medical men throughout the whole country, Dr. Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs. King had been suffering for many years from some disease of the stomach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de rangement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed by a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a sticky slime collecting about 'the teeth, causing a disagreeable taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky? a cold perspiration. There was a constant tired and languid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to retain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem-Poilinr? mTro o CUi^o xaiiiiig w gAw a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order to save the patient's life an operation was justifiable. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1883, the Operation was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwell of the Police Board. The operation consisted in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been done an examination of the organs was made, but to the horror and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found The patient did not have a cancer. .When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake: butthev - " ' ' / V rawed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours, How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that Ms wife died from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she would have been living to-day. Shaker Extract of Roots, 01* Seigel's Curative Syrup, a remedy made expressly for Dyspepsia or Indigestion, has restored many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its efficacy in curing this class of cases is too voluminous to be published here; but those who read the published evidence in favor of this dyspeptic remedy do not question its convincing nature, and the article has an extensorj sub.
