Mg?i The Press and Banne liy Illicit AVIlwon. Wednesday, Oct. 31, 188 fl""1i ia'" _i Hon, Arutistoad lltlrf. Thik distinguished citiaeli of Abbevi died in lift law office vestcl-dAy afterno in t lie eighty-first-year Of his age. Although he camb doVvn to his ofTi yesterday morning litter than was 1 custom, lie was apparently in his usi 1)1. which hud been better for t Inst several months than it had boon I two or three years previous, and no o know or suspected that his end was near. When his dinner was sent to hi lie complained of being unwell, and sf iho servant for a glass of milk, which took instead of the dinner which h been prepared for him. After this he 1 down to rest on the couch in his ba office, and for two or threo hours ho w entirely alone. About sundown, t proof of some matter which ho was ha ing printed at the Press and Banner < lico was sent to him, when Mr. litirt w lonnd on tho lounge, and, from appej aiices, tho young man fearing somethi wrong, reported tho fact to a gentlom near by, who at once went to linn, a found him dead, lie lay as if in peaceful sleep, without the slightest e' xlenco of a struggle. Members of tho Btr, nnd other frien< ilrrangod to carry tho body of tho c c eased to tho residence of Colonel J. Robertson, at whose houso he had be living lor mo last eignt years, u is little rctnurkablo that the last tin 'deaths among Abbeville's most disti guished lawyers should have been sn don. Mr. Thomas C. Perrin, aftor i tending a deacon's court of tho chur< returned home about ten o'clock and midnight he was dead. Judgo Thorns \v.is stricken by a fatal illness, ?and in low minutes breathed his last. A yesterday Mr. Burt, aftor a day's woi lay do M il upon a lounge in his office, a died. The Hon. Armistead Burt was born Kdgcticld county, November ltf, IS He removed with his father to Pendlet when he was quite a young man, studi law at that placo, and was admitted the practice of law m the same class wi C. G. Meminger and Edward McCrai nearly sixty years ago. After his ui: riago iu 132S to Miss Martha Calhoun liihii f! C:illionii ho came Abbeville Court House, arid ootnmeuc the practice of tho profession of whi be afterwards became an ornament. 18-11 be was elected member of Congre I and continued to represent South Coi ]ina in the National Congress until 13 wheu be resigned his seat in Washingt and reaumod his pracetice of the la Ho then formed acopartnership with 1 II. Parker, Esq. At this tinio ho u tho owner of a large cstato on tho Save nab river, and .spent a greater part of 1 time on tho plantation. lli? love I agriculture, his admirable managemei his good judgment, and bis kindness his slaved, who were maoh attached femi, combined to make bim one of t Vnost Successful planters in tho count The copartnership in the law with ft i'arkcr continued until December, IS. when tho latter was elected Commissio or in Equity. Subsequently Mr. Bi formed a copartnership with Mr. Jam C. Calhoun. This copartnership conti ued until 1S6(?, when Mr. Calhoun mov to Memphis, Tcnn. Sinco then at difl"< ent times Mr. Burt has been associat in the practico of law with Messrs. ) *r H. McCaw, W. W. Vance, and E. Graydon. Mr. Burt was endowed by nature wi h sound bod}- and an excelleut miri His quick perceptive faculties made hi >1 good judge of human nature, and h application to tho study of his chos profession made him an eminent lawyi lie was distinguished for his success winning difficult cases in both tho crh inal and civil sides of tho court, ai there was nouo in whom a client rulg more safely trust his cause. 1] was associated as counsel with Ge eral Conner in the trial of Keys, Byru and others, charged with the murder Federal soldiers iu Amlorson coun soon aftor tho war. What consumms skill and tact tailed to accomplish befc a military commission of which e Judge Willard was Judge Advocato, 1 < ability as a diplomat at Washington i fee ted. Although Mr. Burt did not possess tl advantages of early classical educatio % and although his legal attainments i exceeded his literary acquirements, j he was distinguished for the purity liis speech aud the correctness of h writing. Air. Burt was of very fino porsonal a ' T>?s.raueo. erect and stately in his cj rlage, courtly and dignified in bis ma ners, and loyal to his friends. As diplomat perhaps no man who ever liv< in Abbeville was his superioi, and whi | Congress ho mado friem among tho distinguished politicians that day, among whom Jetfurson Dai is numbered. As evidence that ft Davis appreciated Mr. Burt, wo wot quote the following extract from "a na rativc of the capture of Jelferson Dav l>y Burton N. Harrison," as publish in the Century magaziuo for Novemb< which Mr. Burt, read yesterday wi great ploasure only a few hours beforo died: "At Abbevillo Mrs. Davis and her fai ily wero the guosts of the President's t teemed frienus, Colonel and Mrs. Bu Mrs. Davis insisted upon starting wil out delay for the sea-coast, to get out the rcach of capture. Shu and her sisi Jiad heard dreadful stories of the tre ment ladies had been subjected tv Georgia and Carolina by men in Shi man's army, and thought with terror tno pOKSlDimy OI lulling uuu iuv iihu of the euemy; indeed, slic understo P? it to be the President's wish that s should hasten to seek safety in a forei country. I explained to her the ditliei tics and hardships of the journey to | soa-coast, and suggested that wo mi; 2?r:_- l>e captured on the road, urging her remain where she was until the pli should be quietly occupied by Unil State Troops, assuring her that some o ver would take care that no harm shot Iwbdl her, and adding that she wot then be able to rejoin her friends. Co nel and Mrs. Buri^ (a nieco of John, Talhoun) added their entreaties to mil and to> her expression of unwiilingn to subject them to tho danger of liavi their house burned for sheltering h jfe. Ooloncl Burt Magnanimously repl that thore was no better use to which house could be out than to have it bui ed for giving a'sheltor to llio wife a lamily of bis friend." Mr. Burt was a public spirited citiz f; and always took the liveliest interest whatever tended to the prosperity or w fare of the people. Ho children resulted from Mr. Bui marriage, and if bo has a relatiye 11 v: the fact is unknown to the writer. For jiany years he was chairman of t Vestry of Trinity church, and his zeal church matters was always seconded <; . libe*u! contributions of money. It n.ay not be amiss to montion an cident: In conversation last week w a friend Mr. Burt said that Mr. Rob (V 21.

The case of Mrs. Murray against Hi Virginia H<?ir.o Insurance Compan came up last week f >r trial asccon:! time 5, Tiie facts of the case briefly, arc: Mr*.

Wo have no doubt if tho Virgini .ee Homo Insurance Company, instead o ,n_ insuring the personal property for nbou i,j. five times its real valuo, had insured th at_ piano for $12."> and the other householi jb goods for $250 that thoy would never hav by assailed the good nanio of a lady whos on i character, until this event, had neve a'been impeached. Hut oven admittin; ?j that Mr^. Murry in someway Jiad bee: .j.( chargeable with the destruction of th nd Property, was the Virginia Home Insur ance blameless in the matter? The ofti jn cers aro presumed to bo good busines 02. men, and even if the local agent did tak on her premium on a policy of SoOO on a sec cj ond hand piano, they ougdt to havo can to celled the policy at once. And furthei itj, they ought to have known, and did know jy( that the probability was, no 81,500 farr lr. house in tho country, contained $1,0C R worth of furnituro. Asa matter of fac' to one thousand dollars will buy more 01 red. dinary furniture than could be packed ii cl, a six roomed house, and leave sufQuien I? room for a family. Now, when our Legislature is about t r0- tncet we think that body should do a 52, Alabama has done, pass a law which wi on require insurance companies to fulfil AV. their solemn obligation to pay thepoli cies upon whicn they have received :as premium.

Nearly all of ourcommu- 1 d nications for any week are received at six o o'clock Monday evening, whilo wme of n them come in as lato as the same hour on Tuesday evening. Under ordinary dr- ' ~ cumxtances all matters coming tons as ir i lute as six o'clock Tuesday evening find ! '' ] a place in the and Manner on' ! Wednesday morning. While this is truej jj'as a rule, yet it occasionally occurs that i j it is impossible for us to sot all matter in i io ! the paper that comes as late as Tuesday j Jj j evening. <>ne day in the week, we may is I give as late news as a morning daily. s" j Whilo we claim no credit for doing what i I wo deem to be to our interest, wo think j 0 if our country cousins would keep their j columns open until an hour nearer the j s '"date or tiieir publication uiey wouiu nna j tlio chango greatly to tlioir advantage, m For instance, if a matter of public interto est shonlct occur in Barnwell comity on ?t Monday afternoon, the fact would neceswarily lio over until tlio next Thursda\r ?l week?ten days?betoro it could bo pubIp lished by the Sentinel. This slow pro'c | cess may answer the demands of a people r. who have, until recently, been without n }? railroad, but if wo should try that plan ie in Abbeville, which is traversed by Ita''-, ^ roads and telegraph lines, we would be | w? left in tlio lurch?without subscribers. | ,y The J'rcx.s ami liminer at present prints' n* only 37 quires, or 888 papers, while the j Sentinel is an all-at-homo printed pnpcrj ^ and has a circulation of twelve hundred copies. Last winter the receipts for subscriptions to the Press and Banner were more than twice tlio number of receipts acknowledged by tho Sentinel for the e- Hnino length of time. Whenever a newspaper has the "largest circulation" wo al>-1 ways fear that too many copies are given n. away or sent out on a credit. Wo veuturo the opinion thst if every nowspaper li which has the "largest circulation" ? would rcdueo that circulation to ono half k- its present list, and spend in typo-setting 1110 money uiua suvuu in puoiu^c auu jj<?- i per, that the profits would be greatly | y augmented.

Beer Drinking. Whilo wo know nothing by experience ir observation of tho effects beerdriukng, yet we are firmly convinced that no Irink is more injurious than beer. Wo ihould say to all who want or need stimulating drinks to drink puro liquors. )n tho subject of boor-drinking, wo find he following in one of our exchanges: IIkkk and Vitality.?Tho president >f the Connecticut Mutual Life Insiirmco Company, one of tho oldest in tho country, lias for years been investigating the relation of beer-drinking to longevity.

We give his conclusions. He declared, as the result of a series of observations carried 011 fimong a selected group of persons who were habitual drinker? of beer, that although for two years there was nothing remarkable, yet presently death began to itnlic, aim men inc moriiuuy ummiu cv->-1 tounding and uniform in its manifesta-|r lions.

It was as if the system had been kept 1 fair on the outside,* while within it was 11 eaten to a shell; and at the first touch of 11 disease thero was utter collapse; every ? libre was poisoned and weak.

I?r. Norvln Green Is the author it an excellent article on the "Government nd tho Telegraph," which appears in the el November Issue of the Xorth American lie- I! f'W.ln which he argues: "If the government cin appropriate the 'telegraph, and enter upon commercial traf- n 'flcln ttils Important branch of business. It f, may also assume to own the railroads, and _ carry on railroad traffic; and if the railroads, ' then also the warehouses and grain eleva- C( tors; and If these why not the (lour mills, 'and with Infinitely more public benefit, the s( bakers' shops also. For every one of the 'fifty-(wo millions of people is personally in- I J?

This argument Is against the w xpediency of such a move on the part, of the o :ovcrnment under that clause of the constitu- J ion which grants Congress the power to legslate for tlie "general welfare." He then lakes up the question of whether it p s'ouId he n good "policy" for the government ?( o take control of the telegraph lines arguing hat "there are grave political reasons why 'thegovernment should not assume ami con- e! 'trol this important medium of ready and p rapid communication." ai We can readily understand what, a boon the ppolntmcnt of all the telegraph officials and iperators throughout, the country would be In ft he hands of the dominant party, and Dr. <y ireen's argument on this point is conclusive. Ieshowsalso how much more cfllcieut the *{ olograph has been made as a private Instltulon than It could ever he under the control c; >f the government. In Kuropn the telegraph has been monopoI/ed by the governmenls. In this country it <1 ims been brought to its present development nllrely by private enterprise. The populalon of Great Britain.

Tho ending negiu politicians are, of course, greaty disappointed. They hoped that the constl- <;l utionally of the law would be affirmed. c< I'hey have not generally urged the lie?roes 0 insist upon the privileges which the law ^nve them, because of tho doubt which has (1 ihvays existed with regard to It. IT, however, be decision bad been in favor of the law, .here would have been an aggressive feeling iroused, and hotel proplctors and theatre jj nanagers all over tho country would have jcen subjected to a groat deal ol annoyance. \ bitter fcuiinsr between the white people and be negroes would have been stirred up In oral I tics. The law has been the causo of onslderable trouble, and It promised to cause i 1 great deal more. It is out of the way. F.x- j hl remc Republican politicians say that tho leelsion Is a step backward. It Is not. The , aw was a mistake, and the decision corrected Jl t. A law* that Is repugnant to public sentl- ti nent cannot bo enforced. The civil rights I aw has been, practically, a dead letter. In n few Instances negroes have forced themselves i $ miong white people in tbentree. and some "ew first cias hotels of the country have grant-1 id accommodations to respectlblo looking j lolorod men.
