The news of Jefferson Davis'death, which reached here ou Friday, quickened the beat of hearts, brought tears to eyes, and bowed heads in sorrow. Jjove for him fonnd an abiding placi j not only ^in the se*t of affection of ; those who knew him as the great ! statesman in actual service and who [ knew him as the President of the j Confederacy; but the babes of the j Confederacy, taught at their mothers' j knees to revere his name and to cherish with prijle the greatness of the great leader of their fathers, in the cause of their country, uncover their heads as the spirit of t'\e chieftain passes into eternity, one of the noblest, grandest and most brilliant statesmen the j Americau continent ha* ever given birth to. Ills name, his unblem- . ished character, ami his principles ! will live and will be held in sacred j memory as long as a spot of earth } is left by the great Creator on that! part of tie earth that marks the Con- j federate States. Long after the bodies of the actors in the war shall have turned to dust, bis memory will be harbored in the hearts of their children, and their children's children, with an increase of hearts with the } ushering in of each generation. He ' a J has erected ito his own memory a monument that will stand the test of ages. Thanks to God t'was hi?, though his back was bent with age, to have ha'l an intellect strong enough, a chirac:er pure enough, espoused principles firm enough, to have defended himself, hi> cause and hi* peo- j pie, even in old ago, against every j attack or misrepresentation. Loim afier the cankering worms shall have consumed the flishof hiscolurnniatois, his name will be fostered by million?. ! Honor Him. A mass meeting of the citizens of Winnshoro will be held in ?he Court House to-day to pay respect to the memory of the illustrous. Jefferson Davis* the martyr of Lis and our cause, "the inau without a country," yet a hero worshipped by a weeping nation. He that was wise in" council, powerful in war, raauly in defeat, dignified in the clankering chains of prison, and great now in tbe cold arms of death, is a fit subject to stir the uoblest, purest and highest emotions, sentiments and thoughts of his countrymen. The Confederacy has vanished?wc can scarcely eav slie died. The doctrines of government defended by the great logical powers and by the deep wisdom of statecraft of Calhoun and \ Davis are as immoital as these two, names themselves. Even the fate of war cau uever suppress their principles of . government. They are the embodiment of liberty; like the great central tire of the earth they are irrepressible; though the mountains weigh down upon it, and oceans and s^as surge over it, yet its unconquerable mid vehement force will heave out. Unprejudiced history, unalloyed with hate and veuoui, will hand down to posterity the name of Jefferson Davis, as far a? man can be, as an archetype of parity, dignity and manliness. lie stood alone against the powers of a mighty nation. All the venom of zealots and fanatics was hurled against his noble brow; he suffered the humiliation of the prison wall*; he bore it all wiih ourage and diarnijy. He did it all for the country we love. We know of no one in all history who has stood with such tenacity to his convictions, in young manhood he ^ _ espoused his irrefutable principles, in I middle life his great voice was heard j proclaiming them, and when nature, liiitt U7ifh nlil ncrp. Ill* ll>Pfl hi* pen iu their defense. His great soul has now been "whispered oat by the still voice of God", and it becomes onr sacred duty to hold a mass meeting to-day, unprecedented iu the history of Winnsboro. Let the veterans of the great civil struggle be therej whose wise leader he was; let the young men be there, who are to be factors in perpetuating the name of the great leader of their fathers; let the worsen be there, whose soft hearts melt in sympathy for the widow and "the child of the Confedracy let the little children be there, that thftv may learn to cherish the name of the grand old man and know that, if their fathers were traitors, to be a traitor is noble. From the recent elections held in the State and the adoption of the resolutions of tnc Charleston clergy iu favor of high license, it would seem that the i eople have began to entertain some donbt as to the policy and expediency of prohibition. How inconsistent is our Legislature! Its policy as formulated by its opening work is retrenchment, and reform. On Wednesday, one hundred and sixty-five bills for a second reading, 5 passed and one killed! Curtail, legislators, the enormous cost of "useless, frivolous legislation before you plunge the knife of economy (?) into ^ Stale officers' salaries ??* CongreK* Congress met in Washington on j Morilay, and was organized by the I election of Mr. Reed, of Maine, as . speaker. There being a Republican j majority, small though it be, it was j 6xpected that a member of that house-j hold of faith wonlil be selected, and j this great party again gave an exhi-1 bition of its nt.'er incapacity to rise ! above the narrow plants of sectional-j ism by chosing one of its mo>t rank j partisans speaker. Mr. lieed is aj very clever, brigli; mm, but hi* hatred I of those of his fellow-citizens whose ' good fortune it is to dwell south of Mason and Dixon's line and vote the Democratic ticket pO warps hiui that he may be considered one of the most intense partisans in the Republican party in Congress- He is ulso a great partisan in the fact ions of his own par! y. taking a partisan view of all questions. Could Mr. Reed divert himself of his' ; narrow lies*, he would possess the ele-. | ments of a great man, but it is scarcely to be hoped that he will do so as he declared in his opening remarks that the duties of his new position "are largely political." Alon*j with Mr. Reed all of the caucus nominees were electcd, except Rev. Ramsdell, who had received the nomination for Chaplain. It seems that his defeat was brought about be cause his wire is a uamouc, inougn a devout and good woman. In this Congress showed itself not ranch better than the cotton Mathers of the early daya of this great country, when good people v^cre burned for witches. It would have been much more to the credit of the Democrats had they voted for the Republican nominee for this iion-pol it ic&l ofilce than to have lent! themselves to the defeat of a good man because his wife is a Catholic. That Dr. Mi'.bnrn was retained was a good thi:??r, and the people of Winnsboro will be glad to hear that the ' blind preacher" who lcctured so eloquently to them a few years ago will be in charge of the religious service;! of the National Legislature, but it is a pity that he should have been elected simplv because^is opponent's wife is a Catholic. In the drawing for seats our Congressman. W. H. Perry, got first pick, and is nnder the shadow of the great tariff reformer Carlisle. Our other Congressmen got good positions on the floor. The Republicans have a small majority in the House and the Democrats have placed themselves under the leadership of Mr. Carlisle, who will, with his large minority, be a powerful check on the tide of the people in their fi<?ht against the "bloated infants" of protection. The Salary OneatlaH. In the discussion of the salary led net ion bill now before the Legislature, it will not do to say we can gel a Governor or Secretary of State for so many dollars less than we are now giving these officer*. If that lice is pursued let (he offi:e3 be {fat up at auction and given 10 the man who will do the work lor the least sum. There arc some people who would take the job for $500 and food and clothes, and in. thc.?c hard limes perhaps ihe food and clothes would be all asktid. These officers represent the State of South Carolina and we feel Mtie that the people want io give enough to permit tiiein to keep tip the respectability and dignity of the State. TS.e correct method of fixing the amounts paid the heads of the State departments, is to consider how much is necessary for the incumbents to get in order to live creditably to the State. These officers cannot iire as cheaply as private citizens. There arc many demands upon them for charities etc.. which do not reach private citizens, and then they must subscribe to every thing that comes along and that takes money. Again, how would the "auctioning out" of the clerkship* in some of the offices do; for instance, the Comptroller General's or State Treasurer's. We feel satisfied that there are about 10.000 people in the State who would take the Chief Clerk's place in the Comptroller Generals office for $o00 a year, but of what experience or capability arc I hey, or in what condition would the many settlements with the County Treasurer's be, if examined by $50o book-keepers? Do our Legislators think the State would save money by ti?i? reduction? About the same expettness is required in these i <rlprks)iins as is necessary in bank cashier?, and we venture ihe opinion | that there is not a cashier in the State who does not receive at least $1500 a , year, and many $1800 and $2500. A srood test is what do private enterprises pay tor the same kind of work accompanied by the s^ine responsibility. If the State wants good faithful woi k, and nobody will deny that she does, she should paj what the same class of work receives in private business, else she will have her business conducted in such a manner that wjll socu bring her into disci-edit and perhaps disgrace. Mr. Harrison's Do? Bill. A mom/ the bill-; that have been in trodnced by the Fairfield delegation is 1 a bill by Representative J. D. Harri- | sou to tax dogs and apply the revenue j to the school futid. This his often j ! been bt ought before the Legislature, aud usually the bare mention of "the dog law" provokes a smile, but, like j a great many other things often ridiculed, it is a sound bill, and we hope J it will pas?. As our contemporary, the Columbia jRegister says: 4,'a tax would improve the breed of dogs by weeding out the many curs that suck eggs, kill sheep and run mack with hydrophobia." The only obstacle in the way of the passage of the bill is that it is pro- ! posed to tax dogs one dollar, and this | - - . _ _ o _ would seem to be unconstitutional as sec. S6. art. I. S. C. Const., reads: "All property subject to taxation shall be taxed in proportion to it-? value." j The tax might, however, be construed ' as a license for keeping dogs. The Auditor's books show a return of 1610 i : ' - ' Y" ' g|?8? :: i' V - sy*?y~'-" ' V". ;: Vdogsin the county, and we might safely say that nearly 900 arc not relumed, making fully 2500 dogs. Won by Merit. Capt. V. E. ATcBee. a native of Greenville, has be-in made President of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, and of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and he also retains the superintendency of the "Western North Carolina, Railroad. It is stated that the two presidencies were given to induce him to remain with the R. & D. Company, he having been offered a position by the Three C.*s folks. The combined salaries is about $10,000 a year. Mr. McBee's promotion is an instance of the result of merit and grit. He started in life as a civil engineer and finding it difficult to obtain employment in his chosen profession accepted a position as brakeman on the Air Line Railroad at $10 per month about ten years ago. By close attention to his work he has gradually risen until now he is numbered among the big railroad men of the country. His many friends in his native State congratulate him on his promotion and wish him continued success in his enlarged field of labour. Let it Alone. It is to be hoped the Legislature will not make a call for a Constitutional Convention. Tlie defects in our constitution can be corrected much more readily and at far less expense and with greater safety than could be ob- j tained by a convention. No constitti- j tion can be made elastic enough to suit the changing conditions of Hie people except by a gradual process of mollification by amendments with the con- j servative feature of having the?ej amendment? pa>.*td on bv the people j at ihe ballot box. A constitution can- j jiui be made out of hand at once itiat j will last.it mfl>L be built up, not made, j ai d we have a very good foundation j already. A new constitution would J have to be construed many times by the courts and the labor of the past twenty-fire years iu that direction wonkl have to be gone over again. We can see no ncces&itv fur a convention and hope the taxpayers will not h&ve any snch useless expense added to their alieadr hearv burdens. More Convenient for ^'airfieldIt. has been a question ninoug the lawyers of the Slate whether we have one or two United Slates Circuit Courts. The Courts have decided that there is but one, and the decision line ln/1 t -1 tha ihl p/irinoliMM /\f a liitl Kv Senator Butler, giving the State four | terms of the (Jirenic Court, two at GieenviTe, one at Columbia and ore at Charleston. Whether or nut we have one or two Circuit Court* is ai matter of great importance to the pco pie. Although the Supreme Court i Justice and the ".Judge hare decided j there is but one, it a matter of doubt j and one of great dispute, and Senator : Butler's bill, settling at once the dis- | puled point, comes iu the nick of time, i It is often very inconvenient for Fair, i field people to go over to Greenville,; and have to pass through Columbia I where the Court sits?within a short | distance of home. The bill gives them j the right of trial in Columbia, and,! therefore, makes it f-ir more con- i venicnt. Haw t? Econojatise. If the Legislature is reallv in earnest I in its efforts to reduce taxes, instead of { creating a rich man's monopoly of the State House*>ffices, let tliem adopt the constitutional amendment providing that the Legislature shall meet every other year and save the tax paying the expense of the luxury of "a session" each year: The session costs the State about 845,000. This would save in one year enough to cover the proposed saving in the State House reduction for nine or ten years; or $45,000 help out the Clemson College or give one hundred beneficiaries, (entire extenses paid,) iu the Univcrsity; or would support handsomely a college for our daughters and sweethearts: or it would o " -- -- . reduce taxes one-third of a mill. And ali this good may be gained at the small sacrifice of losing a session every other year. What ?ay vou economist? Economy is like charity should begin at home. I?o 3 ? Where are They ? Where are the brave Hampton and none itie less brave Butler and our other representatives in Congress? .Many of them are battle scarred warriors. They fought under the frtars and bars; they proclaimed the immortal principles of the immortal Davis,in tim^s now passed. Men who never nnaked before the foe ill" the iield? ! now that their aged chieftain lies shrouded in de..th, with his body wrapped in the Confederate grey, his venerable form still wearing i? death the emblems of the principles, for which he was made a martyr and lived without a conntr>? arc they, the representatives ot the people of South Carolina, afraid to give expres?ion to their seniimesits?sentiments for which both Ji-ffcrson Davis and they >take.d their all?

It too of;en happens that such disqualified persons vote, these being no convenient mode of ascertaining their disqualification. It seems that there were three re publicans in the Congress who thought that a inan of God, whatever !?c his political complexion, was suited to invoke the divine blessings upon the deliberations of Congress, and accordingly the licv. W. U. Miiburn was re-elected Chaplain or slur lipase. We have no doubt th-i there will be a serious need of the dewut and earnest prau-rs ot this holy man of God and staunch Democrat. Skxatok Fori-: proposed to amend that part of the Constitution of the State which relates to the associate justices of the Surpreme Court so that the Court shall consist of a chief justice and four associate justices.
