LOST THEIR VOICES. To the Editor of The News and Herald: Can you inform me whether our liepresentatives iu Congress are all dead ? are they all struck dumb at the sudden calamity that has befallen the South in the death of our own Jell*. Davis? Where fore have they not voiced the sentiment pf the people that they, are sent to-represent? Have they in their old a^e'grOtvJi ashamed of their youthful follies- ?- "Why is it these men who never fliuchtJ. in the storm of battle wjien i deatli came thick and fast, have not the manliness to give, if only in whispers, utterance to the inner sentiments, expression of a feeling that will find an echo in the heart o1> every Southerner? The type of Southern character, manliness, virtue and heroism now lies silent in death, and his people smitten 11 woe have a right to expect that those who have made such loud protestation of esteem while at home should find their voices whan abroad. But a few weeks since one of these paid a glowing tribute to the living. "Well he is dead now; and they in Yankeedom. maybe, when the next election comes, will find their voices. They will be at home then. They had better stay at home. Harry Pekcival. THE .yc E TING OF THE CITIZENS.

WOODWARD. December 8. Charley Grier was I accidentia shot yesterday by itanl. j Jcnes who was carelesly handling a j pistol. He lived about two hours ! after the shot was find. The pistol used was a 88 caliber self-acting i American Bull Dog. Th?; shooting is believed to be purely accidental, as there was no ill feeling existing be1 tween the two. This should be a warning to all that the pistol is a dangerous toy to handle even when it is ''empty." An inquest will be held by Coroner Hinnant to day. A Family Relic. "We all know with what pride, and even tenderness,, the father and mother of a family oftentimes regard old pieces of furniture; a picture; a piece of cracked riiina, which to others may seem usele:but whiJ) to them is closely identified with the dear old days .when they first "went to housekeeping." An instance worthy of notice, came under the writers observation ;i few days since, at JSalina, Kansas: a family in which a Davis Sewing Machine had been in use for tlue last eighteen years, were about to lose their first-born?a handsome young lady? by marriage.

TIUDUTK OF JCESl'ECT. % -- " " ' ? The following snort oui oeauuiui tribute to the memory of the late Dr. T. T. Robertson was rend before the Fairfield Medical Association at its last meeting by Dr. J. (J.-Buchanan and was ordered by the Society 10 be published In Thk News axd Herald. Since we last met together, Mr. President, one of our members has passed away* full of years and honors; and though "Honor** v rice cannot. provoke the silent dust," \et it i? biit meet and befitting the memory of an eminent citizen aud progressive physician that we should render a tribute commensurate with his ?reat worth and excellence. A profession that pays no homage to its d.stinguished Votaries, that passes unnoticed the death or these and consigns thein to the oblivious grave can have no tradition or history. Without a tradition or history any vocation must be destitute of that high incentive, the noblest and mostpow-j erful lever to the acquisition of knowledge and progress of science. Without au ambition which seeks the gratification of the desires of the noblest and most unselfish part of our nature, which does not hold that all of life, or itu happiuess, consists in its pecuniary reward: but which seeks the praise of our iellowmen by the rectitude of conduct, by the pursuance- of lofty aims ^ without this ambition the profession would be shorn of its diguity, and instead of an honorable rivalry among its members, there would be a resort to low artifices, new too frequently practiced. Thi?, then, Mr. President, is the pTcnsc. if anv be necessary. for recall ing to vour ruinds the character, the events of a life remakablein the length of its activity, in the fruitfuluess aud success of its deeds. To few, is it permitted, to pursue without interruption a career of fifty >ears. To still fewer, is it permitted, to obtain the success, to acquire the fund of knowledge with which our departed friend met with and which he possessed in the various departments of medical literature. Educated in the dark days of pro fessionai knowledge, his mind was so strong aua liberal as to eradicate from it every vestige of antiquated belief, to appropriate and assimnlate the new | order as established by observation and experiment. Tenacious of fix?d truth and law, he was ever vigilant in the search of development in new fields of thought or practice. Modest and reticeut to a fault, when, by rapid or slovr process of reasoning, he arrived at a conclusion, nothing could diminish his faith in its correctness; and ins intrepid spirit never faltered nor feared responsibility, fortified with the invincible armor of truth, when he undertook plans based upon these conclusions. Reserved, but frank; firm and true in friendship, but not demonstrative; generous without ostentation; with a kind heart?sympathetic beyond measure?he wai the impersonation of all that Romance could have portrayed, or that Reality could have desired. In the vigor of life he was the peer ; of any man in South Carolina. lie ! had no sunerior. as is attested by the j profound respect in which his opinions were held, by his numerous successful ' operations requiring skill, intelligence : of a high order, intripidity i:i execuj tion, and attentiveness. No man has j a better record. In his death," Mr. President, the ; Society has lost a valuable and devoted counsellor, the profession a great physician, and the State a god and noble citizen. Looking backward, reviewing his long service, there is not a mar upon the "whole structure of his admirable character at which even enmity herself can point with caviling linger. Young members, here is the model worthy of imitation. "There | was. there i? no truer, Houier, manner ; man." The following appropriate resolutions were passed by the Society upon the death of Drs. Robertson and [ Lackey: 1. That the Medical Society feels deeply the loss of her oldest member, whose services were sincerely appreciated, ajicl whose earnest interest carried him often to onr meetings when his frail and feeble strength, even buoyed by his great determination, woald hardly permit. 2. That we express onr admiration ot the activity, the ceaseless energy, the independence of character, tne liberality of mind, geniality of disposition, and charity, which characterized onr late President, Dr. Robertson, and shall remember in sorrow and kinC'iess these qualities, his respectful attention to all that was said and his courteous bearing to every one. 3 We express, m t only our feeling, but that of the laitv, when we say that his venerable form will long be missed and lamented. 4. That these resolutions be inscribed upon the pages of our minute book, and that a copy of the same be sent with deep sympathy to the family of our lamented* brother, and that the same be published in The News and Herald. dr. lackey.

EK?V. J. C. WATKISS' JiEJOlSDEJt. To the Editor of the Xeics and Herald: In regard to what was said by J. II. Wade, by way of reply, to my article on the colored school question. I wish to say: One has said whose opinion is worth something: "It is both 1 1- - .1 the sign of u weak cause, ana uuu manners,-..when any one begins to abuse' his opponent in the place of answering his arguments. Discuss principles and measures, not men." Now, one can see at a glance, that his entire reply, was either "a fling" at ine directly, or at those who appointed me a teacher in the public schools of the town. I made no inquiry, "Why the colored citizens fail to patronize a colored .school regardless of denomi- , national distinctions." They do send ' their children to school. I have now sixty pupils and still they come. But for fear the points considered in my article may liave slipped the mind of the reader, T repeat them briefly; i Timt there has been dissatis-1, faction for years, 011 the part of some of the colored people., about the way . educational affairs have been conduct- , ed in Winnsboro. ( 2. That some are now advocating sectarian schools supported in part by . public funds. 1 i urged that one good public ? school, rightjvconducted and heartily supported ?>y the colored people, would to my mind answer the condition of tilings. i. I asked all who desire our ad- j vancement in every true American , A-f +lin l/lno AY. I SC!li5(J IU Ultvu nuiu. ui pressed under the 3rd head. ( Xow, I wish to say further, in sup- 1 port of .my position that no man has ; done more since the war for the cause , of education in Winnsboro than Rev. 1 AVillard Richardson. The proofs of this assertion are too numerous to mention. To this, I add the weight of the testimony of Prof. R. Means Davis, of the South Carolina University. This he asserted in his ad1 drass 'at the dedication of the present | commodious building at Mt. Zion. , Yet some of the colored people opposed and were not pleased with Rev. W. Richardson's work. And some i of those who found fault with .him ] 'i-ltA lmir orlvftcfltp are among uiwc; ituu nv?? uu<uwv sectarian schools. And as to the personal fling at me, 1 being; a minister and teaching- the .pub- ' lie school, and advocating the building 3 of a public school-house, permit mc ( to say, that the colored laymen, of wliich J. H. Wade is a prominent one, have had twenty years in which to es- i tablish and cany on the "'line school," < of wliich he speaks, and where is it? , And where are the colored educated , men outside of "the ministerial ranks," of our community? J. H. ' Wade liimself has not been able to ] rise higher than teaching a little pay , school, which perhaps is the embryo of one of the sectarian schools advocated. This is maintained by deprecating the public school teachers, and ' drawing sharp denominational lines. "Why not' a minister teach public schools if he has character, sense and time? Besides, who has anything to do with a citizen making an honest living by any honorable avocation? This is the age' of the "survival of the fittest," and perhaps the Trustees of District Xo. 11 liad something- of the kind in mind when they made their appointments. Mr. Editor, already this article is too lengthy, but allow me to suggest to Mr. J. II. Wade the propriety of starting a subscription for a public school-house and lot. He says he is willing, and ready. Let the laymen get to work. I for" one minister will gladly stand aside, when tliftv will take un the work. But as a lover of my race and - especially the advancement of the young, I dare not be idle when there is work to be done. J. C. TVatkixs. J. II. WADE'S REJOINDER. To the Editor of the Xeics ami Herald; Please allow me space to reply to J. C. "Watkin's article in yonr last issue. Common sense ought to have led him to see that there was not a word of abuse in u;v letter nor is there a iceak cause. I simply expressed the sentiments of ihe citizens, in that, a teacher- selected " 11? ? ? 1- nf ontt r\f nom me luiuisiunm ia:m, m v> the denominations here is objectionable. The patronage of sixty pupils is not any proof to the contrary, but simply the advantage of the citizens' privilege. I am sorry to see that he has to flee for refuge, under the wings of that good aiTd true man and philanthropist, the Rev. W. Richardson, than whom no teaeher has ever done more for us at Winnsboro. But that fact is of the past and the subject of discussion is of the future; one concerning the establishment of a school. I repeat that this greatly needed establishment will not reach the desired point so long as the colored * x - 1 ? -? rv\ nHnt* ministers last; me icau iti luv wuuki. With regard to myself, I have never applied for a position in a public school, but that is no argument against inv ability to apply. I am truly glad to know that he is aware of the fact ol the "surcical of the fittest," but sorry to see that he thinks, this is the only age, when the lisurcical of the fittest" be* longs to every aye. The honorabie trustees had no such thought in making their appointment. They were led to believe, that J. C. ! Watkins was the choice of the people, | when reullv lie was not. i ao nor, i ami cannot cast any r? flection on the ! trustees, tor ihey arc me:, of honor i and integrity, anil really would not i do anvthii sr against the wishes of the 1 " i ^ * I - Tf Til ill 1 ' citizens in our school work, bat rather everything fo enhance it. Next term we will be able, I trust, to have the "survival of the Jit text." in the public school, while I humbly plod my way in endeavoring to teach my school, as I have always done, the Rev. Watkius' blab to the contrary, notwithstanding. *Mr. Editor, you will please pardon me for being lengthy. J. H. Wade. THE LEGISLATURE. Columbia, S. C., Dec. G.?Yesterday was a regular field day in the House. The bill to amend Section 2084 of the General Statutes relating to labor contracts was taken up, and upon an amendment providing that the terras of the bargain be reduced to writing a most lively discussion commenced and without this amendment the bill passed the House. Under the bill as passed it will be very difficult to prove a violation of the laborer's side of the agreement. The "defects were all shown to the House by different members of the Judiciary Committee, but the farmers seemed to think the bill would accomplish what they designed and it was carried to its third reading. Many a poor farmer will think of this when his hands begin to leave him next July aud he rinds out that, alihougb he made a contract with the scoundrel, his farmer friends in the Legislature have passed a law making it vprv hard to Drove the crime. The usury bill cauie up providing that no contracts.shaM be made for the. use of money greater than seven per cent, except contracts in writing wherein eight per cent, only shall be allowed. The advocates of the bill contended that this would compel b-inks and loau associations to reducc the rate of interest to eight per cent. Mr. Buchanan, amongst others, contliuf lliichiM wmiM itUTfflcp thfl rate of interest, nut reduce it, because this would keep cut of the State loan companies and would thus far reduce the competition that in the very nature of things, when money became plentiful by welcoming it in our midst its rate would be 'reduced, The farmers wanted money and the lower the better, therefore it was to their interest not to proscribe it. The bill ! ? fx ?r?A?rAii in A r\ C fill Anm ii'w u c v ci j tu w* uu v^/v sition. A bill to punish the discharge of fire>arms in or near any highway was passed. The bill is thought to be unconstitutional. All the members from Fairfield voted against it. The bill to create a Master for Fairfield County was reported upon favorably. It is believed by its author (Mr, Buchanan) that business of the Circuit Court will be expedited by its passage, lit thinks that it will save the County from $200 to $500 each year. A petition was presented asking "that the bill Jo not pass. Thus far Mr. Buchanan has not been affected by the petition. - - .? 3 .3 lie tUiiiKs tne penuoners signeu uuuer i misconception of the purpose of the bill. occasional IN MEifOKIAM, The announcement of the death of Willie McXaull will be a sorrowful message to all who enjoyed that dear - rr _ boy's friendship or acquaintance, ue was a noble specimen of a true man, a genial, high toned gentleman whose place will be very hard to fill. He was one of the best uf sous and brothers, and truest of friends. Those who enjoyed his friendship can never forget him.

It is difficult to realize the fact that one wborn we had so lately seen actively engaged in the hnftinoss of life should now be num bered with the dead. His memory will be enshrined in the hearts of all who knew him. "His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him, that nature might stand up And say to all the world, this was a man." "Willie, thou wast mild ana loveiy, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening. When it floats among the trees. Peaceful by thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low; Thou no more will join our number, Thou nc more our songs shall know.
