Hereafter, it rniKht be well for us to interview the latter gentlemen by telegraph before saying anything at all about matters of general interest. By following this plan, and accepting the advice of men who know so much more than we do, the utterances of the t iPrc&s (tftcl Baiuier In tli? future would De wellXrtgh infallible. Seriously, there Is a diflerenee of opinion among us as to the province of a truly Democratic pr?ss. We think it is not any part of the duty of a ifcwspajier to conceal the dls Eracefiil acts of men belonging to the party, * but that a newspaper with the true interest of the party should seek to have the party set its seal of condemnation ujxm the crime, and see that it bring the perpetrators tojustleo. If "he Democratic party Is a refuge for lawbreakers, and It attempts lo shield them from Justice, then the sin atul shame of the crime rests on the party. It is not within the reach of any mob to disgrace the Democratic party j t>y any act of theirs. The disgrace attaches to ] us by our own act iR not bringing them to Justice. It the Strength of the Democratic party j rests in our ability to conceal crime from the North then we conimittted a grave error in admitting that anybody was ever lynched in fiouth Carolina. For our own part we are heartily sick and tired of our efforts to hide 'every thing from the eyes of the North. Let us condemn the wrong because it is wrong? and not try to conceal it, because of any fear <of the North. Dnmigration Is another great hullaballoo $T;': that has agitated a lot of wise acres in this State. They may be all right, but we confess ' that we haven't gone crazy on that subject, cither. We are n>t anxious by unnatural means to turn the tide of immigration this i way. A majority of the poor immigrants who come this way become dissatisfied for va^ rious reasons, and become objects of sympathy. We arc always glad to see people come if they do so intelligently and by their own volition, but we do not want those who may be almost forccd to come against tholr will.

The County Commissioners have determined to abandon the penny wise and pound oolish policy which has heretofore obtained u the building of bridges. They are now deermincd to build bridges that will lastf ibey propose to build this year a bridge at Calhoun's Mills similar to the one at Erwin's Mills. ADd noxf year they will build anoth? er somowhero else on 4ho rivers. Of course this will cost something, and there will be found plenty of carper* to blame them. But they are exactly right, such bridges as have been heretofore built were a useless expense to the county, because they were washed away by the tirfct hteh waters.- 15nt these which the Commissioners now propose to tmlld will be here whoa the critics are dead and goue. ;; "What has become ot the $8,000 appropriated by the lastsession of Congress for tne Improve-' ment of navigat'on on the Wateree? n> e see notices in our exchanges where work lspr<? gresslng on nearly all the other streams for which appropriotioui: were ninde^aiKi y?-t we in not hear one word aboi t our own river.

Dr. Bcurter has been in feeble health for some time and his death was not unexpected. At one time his friends were hopeful, and trusted that he might recover from his attack, and assume the duties of his useful and energetic life but such hope was but for a season, his malady increased, the prayers of the church, the loving attention of kindred and friends, and the efforts of skilled physicians availed naught, and on Fiiday last he calmly and peacefully breathed his life away, and his soul entered into that peace which remains for those who have done justly, loved mercy and walked humbly with their God. As a citizen Dr. Bonner was always ranked with the most prominent and enterprising, lie toou an active pan in every effort tending to promote the spiritual welfare of his people, or calculated to advance the development of the country. >.*0 man in our county was more useful, and none whose prei> e:ice will be more greatly missed than ; this well known and greatly honored jcitizm. His zeal and energy for the church marked him as one of ths leaders in his denomination, lie invariably at tenths the meetingsuf Synod, and was frequently choscn as their Presiding ollicer, his counsel was often sought, an.I carried with it great inlluenec in t.ie deliberations of that body. To none will this Mow fall heavier, and his lo.-s be more generally felt, and missed, than to those for whom he so ' long worked and prayed, and to whom | lie so acceptably ministered. His high toned, frank, and honest [expressions as editor of the Axtociafc Reformed Presbyterian distinguished that paper for these excellent qualities and made the influence of the editor j felt throughout the church. Chiefly through his own energy he nutuMMiinrr nne of the ; 3UWCCUVV* iu 0 best educational institutions in the 'State, which was the pet scheme of his j life and which he succeeded in makj ing the pride of Abbeville county, j Dr. Bonner always gained the love, rejs|>''ct, and esteem of his pupi?s, and en| deared himself to them by hisgenerjous, kind and gentle consideration foi j them.

It was one of the most solemn tui nerals our town lias had for many ; years, artel they nave been fearfully freIquent within the last decade. The ; pulpit was heavily dressed with crape, as were also the president's chair, picj lures, &c., in the College. No man filled so many relations in our midst as : Dr. Hon tier. It was sad to think thai these relations were now all broken ; a id that he who has thrown so much of hisown life and energy into the history of our little community for sc many years is now confined to the narrow limits of the grave. It requires an exercise of strong faith to feel assured that others will be found to take up the fallen mantle, and perform the various branches of work he has laid .aside. Truly a great man has been taken from us; Each of the colleges will meet in their respective chapels on i Monday, and formerly adjourn in reispcct to his memory. II. j Dug West, S. CM 30th April, 1881. Short Skctcli of Ills Life. | An excellent sketch of Dr. Bonnei 1 was published in the Edgefield Advcr; tixer in 187S. We reproduce it. Dr. Bonner was born in Monroe !County, Alabama, in the year 1822. I Very soou after his birth his parents 'moved to Wilcox County of the same :State. Here he passed his boyhood, receiving his academic training undei Rev. J. E. Pressly, (afterwards Professor of Greek in Erskine College,) lay.ing carefully the foundation for that literary training to which his father ! had destined him. In that day and time, educational advantages in the 1 South were scarce. Good educational academies even were few. Colleges , were rarities. In order to furnish these advantages to his children, Dr. Bonnes's father moved to Indiana in 1837, and not long after, the subject of this sketch entered Miami University?at that time one of the most prosperous | institutions in the Northwest. Here ; he spent two years and a half. Then i came that question which meets every ! young man when he leave's col lege, one j of vast importance and oftentimes very : perplexing?the choice of a profession, i Happy is he whochooses wisely?who devotes himself to that professiou for | which he is especially fitted by natu) ral euelowments, tastes, and cultivation. Thus only can he attain the | highest usefulness, and thus only can he be happy in his work, i Dr. Bonner ha3 realized the blessed! nessof a wise choice. In 1813 became South to his ancestral home, to enter upon the study of theology, and spent two years in the Seminary at Due West. At this time his health was very feeble, so much so that his friends doubted the propriety of hiseuteringon regj ular ministerial work. Alter spending : a year or two in travel, engaged a portion of the time in missionary labor, be began in 1847 his life-work?teach| ing. In that year was elected Principal of the academy at Due West, and (Continued in charge of it, a few brief 1 intervals excepted, so long as it hail an | ' existence. hi KSoy a new era dawned upon the little villege, id ready made classicby h well established, prosperous mule col- j * lege. The eiti2ehs determined to organize a female college. The etlbrt] , was a jKirfect success. Funds were j' raised for the erection of a large, well appointed building, and the work \vas| entered upon and prosecuted with great vigor to ih) completion. After the foundation of the college it was a mat- ( terof iiosmall moment to the community who should be placed in charge of il. lis future depended upon a proper ] presiding otlicer. To this responsible j j position, I)r. Bonner was unanimously chosen by the trustees. And the en- \ tire history of the college during the i nineteen years of its existence, is the j best evidence of his fitness for the . ! place. Under his administration the " | college has constantly grown in public favor. Organized'justayearortwo | | previous to*he war, it not only lived m i but prospered during that trying pe- ' l-s .J 1.- I-...: I?. ?lw? luvt Inn/'b- 1 | rum. n.K w.v ., ms, exercising ji discipline which com-11 i bines the most can-fill, paternal ovor-j sight with an unwavering firmness,!, j himself thoroughly conves:uit wilhji J the best methods of instruction, he j1 has placed the col lege in the very first! [ I rank of Southern female .schools. In j Jits management he lindsafit theatre!; . for the exercise of his marked ability j |as a teacher and disciplinarian. Theji ;college is an honor to the State. It]1 ! has already accomplished much in elejvatingthe standard of female educa- i i lion, and the future before it is bright j ! in the prospect of increased prosperity , 'and enlarged usefulness. I Dr. Bonner sustains another important relation to the public. He has labored, and labored suocessfully, not on- i ; J ly as a minister and teacher, but also lao an editor. We suspect that he is'( One of the oldest living editors in the1 ;Slate. In !fv?l lie began publishing! the "F.rttk'uie Jfiwctfain/This paper, j 11 though it has changed its name sever-j ? **ii ; . * i.11 al times, lias ever ueenauu sun is im-i ' organ of the Associate Reformed Pros- j byterian Church. Jt is now called the ! Aasociafc Reformed Prctbyicritin. 11 j i requires no ordinary ability, skill and j | tact to edit a church paper. JSot only | J every minister of the church; but ev-i ,ierv memberof tliedenoniination, feels!, j that he is a stockholder, and that he is | entitled to a voice in its control. And j he is by no means stinted in his sug- i I gestions as to how Hie thing should be! j done. Doubtless there have been com- j plaints against the editorial manage-1 1 ment of Dr. Bonner, but these have I not been of a very serious character, .land to-day after so long and thorough j ja trial he holds bis position to the en' tire satisfaction of the denomination j j with which he is connected. j Here, then, in brief outline, we have i : the record of a busy lite. Is it not, inIdeed, an honorable one? It is an in" heritanceto the State. It presents an ; j example of patient toil and earnest la-1 [ bor worthy of all imitation ; and in the; , | large success with which this labor and toil have been rewarded there is much '! to stimulate Itope and stir a high am-! r bition in the hearts of the inert and. I sluggishI As a minister; Dr. Bonner, in his sermons, is earnest, pointed and prac? tical. They are thoroughly systemati lie and eminently evangelical. These! ! hp delivers with a forcelul vitror, and I J oftentimes with marked effort. "We | " j have sometimes thought his happiest ' efforts extempore. His words come! i home with moving power lis they gush \ . from heart warm with holy love, utter- j r c.l with an energy and animation that j ' forces the conviction of intense earn-j 1 estness. Possessing a perception that ? is remarkably quick and clear, Dr. i Bonner is a ready and effective speak. er. His sermons are good specimens of pure gospel truth judiciously arranged and strikingly-presented. As a teacirerr?'"The tree is to he knowuJ^itn fruit*?'! nnd Mr. Hon nor! point to the young men j <?ifflat have gone out from his academy j 1 ami to the young ladies who liavo hceii j ! trained in the institution over which j lie now presides, and say "there is the ' testimony; read it and form yourjudgjuient." All over this and other 5South' em States there are those who would I rise up at such a call and witness tol '} the ability and lideiity of him who has 'iled them through the green pasture ot^ ' human learning, and opened up to : them the stores of science and philos-1 ' ophy. Early winning cofi deuce of his [ | pupils, he holds it to the end. He thus ' becomes their kind cousellor and sympathizing frend. Government, iu such a case, becomes simply the expression ' of wish. It is no longer the stern pro[ ' mulgation of law. ! As an editor.?In this department of j his work, Mr. Bojinor displays that '!same engergy of character which i marks ail his labors, and which is, per-; jhaps, his most striking characteristic.} I Watching with lively interest the! '{progress of the Church at home and i abroad, his editorial articles are fresh! 'land timely. He shuns tedious dis-j ' cussiou and elaborate review in a news-! paper. These belong tothe monthlies j and quarterlies. There are few amongst ! us who have worn the harness so long I or labored more satisfactorily as editors ! of religious neswpapers. AUGUSTA AM) KNOXYILLE. A Trip to Tlie rreseiu xerminiis?'liie First Trestle Completed. [.-1 ugusla Chronicle, April 2S.J I By invitation of Pvcsident Vcrdery, of the 1 i Augusta and Knoxville Kailroad, the sioeki holders of the Sibley Mill's, whoattcnUcd the ! meeting yesterday, took a trip tip to the prts' ent end of the road, which is about eleven mites from the city, at Mr. T. B. Jenkins' , 1 farm. At this point Is the first trestle on the ! road, and the finishing touches were beins; ' | put on it when the party arrived. The track will be across it to-day. Just beyond the tres, lie will he local cd the first station on the road. This is live miles from the river, and two more trestles will have to be crossed before the latter Is reached. It. is expected that the track will be at the bridge within thirty days. The work on the road has all been done with the utmost care, and It is probably one of the best j built roads in the country. It is certainly the cheapest. The cost., so far, has been from one I 1 hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars a ; ; mile under the estimates, a fact which is pro-1 , oaoiy unprece'ienu'u. n js wen Known mm | , the actual cost almost always largely exceeds J 1 the original estimate. The track is very levc' | 11 and smooth. In the construction 2,3<X) crows-1 ] ties a mile have been used, or 3-H) more than . on the Georgia Ha! I road This whs ddtie on J account of the expectation that heavy loco', motives will be employed. The company is already transporting a cou, siderable ainouut of lrciglit daily. Hoir Yolteire Cured the Dccay of His Stouiaeh. ' In the "Memoirs ot Count Scgur" there is the following anecdote: "Jly mother, the ; Countess deSegur, being asked by Voltaire respecting her health told him that the inosti I painful feeling she had arose from the decay ] of her stomach; and the difficulty of finding] ) atiy kind of aliment that it could bear. Vo:. I t.iire, by way of consolation, assured her that [ he was once for nearly a year in the same! i j state and believed to be incurable, but that j .! nevertheless,n very simple remedy bad re,! stored him. It consisted in takilig no other j ' j nourishment than yolk of eggs heated up in I the fiour of potatoes and water." Though | j this circumstance took place as far hack as! I tifty years ago, and rcspccled so extraordinn- j ry a person as Voltaire, it is astonishing how i J little is known, and how rarely the remedy 11 lias been practiced. Its cllicacy, however, in I cases of debiltity cannot be questioned, and ' the following is the mode ot preparing the valuable article of food as recommended by .Sir John Sinclair: "Beat up an egg in a bowl, and then add six tahlespconfuls of cold water, mixing the whole well together; then add two tablcspoonfuls of farina potatoes; let It be mixed thoroughly with the liquor In the bowl. Then pour In as much boiling water as will con. vert the whole into a jelly, and mix it well. I It may be taken alone, or with the addition . > of a little milk in case of stomachic debility | or consumptive disorders. The dish is light and easily digested, extremely wholesome and nourUhing. Bread or biscuit may be tn ! ken with it >?s the stomach gets stronger." For Man and Beast. I A thoroughly practical and experienced gentleman hands us the followings for pubii'! cation: . j If you or yours are aflllctcd with spring lasf si tilde, rise early, sponge llnibsand body with i salt anil water, and wipe dry before dressing, i < Then take wild arsenic In form of bitters or decoction before or after each meal. This ree-1 I ipo will give less trouble, perhaps, and will I ' prove less nauseous and more beneficial than s most doctors' prescriptions, and Is much | cheaper than their bills. Inspring man and horse have precarlofts ap-1 I petltes. more or less Indigestion and indlspo-1 >' sition for laborious exercise. For the benefit ., or the noble horse I give the following receipt, i and imagine that no man will have cause to II regret giving his horse the benefit of it: > 5 lbs. common salt. 5 lbs. hickory ashe*. lb. resin, Kngllsh, pnlvcrlzed. U lb. ginger, pulverized. ' \l lb. snlphato lrou, pulverized; lb. sulphur. Thoroughly mix into a mass the consistency I of mush with water, then spread it over the j bottom of trough and let it dry. Then put your usual quantity of feed in the trough and > isoijn your horse will devour both corn and j cobs with an unusual relish and linger at the 1 j trough to lick with delight, will shed hair, lice and ticks, and his digestion, health, strength, energy, activity and usefulness will solin-l prove that the owner will not begrudge the small outlay of money and trouble. A Lady. The lady does not lose cast because she' makes lier own clothes, and Is obliged to economize. A "lady" Is a woman who clearly u ii-1; derstandsand consistently practices there-; 1 fiftemeiits of a highly civilized existence, and i the most real distinction between a lady and i, la woman who is hot a lady, is that one Is more j civilized than the other, and more determine- j ' ed to preserve the habits of a high civilization ] j both In her own person and in all these over ; : whom she has authority.

Hi had not lung bMt the kindest Iceling for ilia senator, but when that gentleman and hi Irlends rose and charged the Democrats wltl revolution and treason, it was his (lJutlcrV duty in vindication of himself to account fo the course which he was taking.

The contemplated line wouli bo no injury to the ports of Savannah am Charleston, as it would draw off none of tli business that went in those directions. II believed Augusta was destined to be one c the largest cities in the South, and it wouli ceitainty be to its advantage to have such i line.

This proposition would imply Mich a r! retrogade in agriculture and commercial enters' prise that 1 cannot mistrust tho judgment of even i the least advanced in the laws of trade so far as 1 j to discuss it. Iking forced, therefore, to relv on ' the railroads to transport freight, and accommol date travel, we must construct thorn between such x points, at:d control them so as to create and maini tain wholesome conqx:tition among them.

It is the interest, and - no doubt the intention cf all roads, wlrether they c have competing lines or not, to charge such rates i and offer such facilities as will devoloi>e and foster " the material prosperity of the country that feeds 1 them. Still, they are things that are bought and r sold; and when bought it is on the presumption - that they arc profitable investments for the money I phid for them. j i- It is unreasonable to suppose that rates are as , v[ low vrithsut Competition as with it- You may give any road .o situated all the credit it may chaim p ! for a liberal policy, and still leave a margin for o j reduction.
