While the legal difficulties In the way were sufficient to defeat the Board of Trustees in any effort to remove the College, the church and the public at large are to be congratulat. ed on the amicable settlement of the question i>..t u it worn nn-csihln to remove the lUlb C?CII ? ?? i.w. v __ __ college Itself, It Is a matter of congratulation thai the threatened lawsuits by heirs for the recovery of money which their ancestors contributed to either the college building or to the endowment fund will not now be Instituted. We believe there Is but one opinion among the members of the Bar, as to the legal obligation of the college to return the money whoso uses the Board would have perverted, if the Institution had been taken to Rock Hill or elsewhere. The avoidance of the threatened lawsuits, both as to the removal of the college, aud for the recovery of Its endowment Is a matter of relief to the public mind, and for which the public should be truly thankful. Th# Board of Trustees deserve the thanks of the public no less than of the church for their just and proper solution of the question which bid fair to create much disturbance of good feeling among the people, and which might, if decided otherwise, have been the ruin, not only of thecollege itself, but the dls sipation of the endowment fund. The question of removing the college will not probably be renewed again In the lifetime of this generation, and possibly may never be brought up again. Now, that the Synod has, no doubt lnno eently. been led Into doing an unwise and impolitic thing in kicking out the old board j of trustees, would it not be well to act wisely and discreetly by correcting the error? | When the college was young and when the tnaiitminn wan un untried experiment, the managers of that Institution made friends 01 the great public. Men In all the different churches were among the corporators?on the board of trustees?and at least one professor was chosen without the communion of that church. While It was a denominational school, a thousaud protestations claimed it as a liberal institution which was thoroughly and actually allied with all the interests of all tiie clti. rens. Now, since the college is rich, there seems to have been a withdrawing from the public. So to speak, tho institution has drawn Its skirts about itself, and bid the outside world to stand aside. For that reason, it may be that outsiders who now manifest any Interest in the institution, may be considered ns lutermeddlers into affairs which do not concern them. The discussion of the removal of the col' lege has brought to light various matters, of which no notice seems to have been taken heretofore. One of which Is, the fact, that although the great mass of the people of Abbeville have ever been true and faithful?have never failed to respond in money, when.lt was needed, yet It Is a fact that Synod has removed every outside trustee and now in no way whntever does that body rtcognize the friendshlpof this people. 1'lnnlntiun Mann en* !u C'ongreftH. It reuulres very little ability to stand up in Congress and call Northern gentlemen liars. Plantation manners are worth exceedingly little to theStato, to the South, or to theNa tlon. it requires If possible, less ability to vote "yes" and "no" than It does to call somebody a liar. Even In the matter of calling Northern gentlemen liars there has gotten to be somewhat of a sameness, which is more or less disgusting?as the reader may regard or disregard? the indecencies and Improprieties of the ever rc-curring Incident. It seems to us that Southern Representatives in the Senate and House seldom get their names In the newspapers except when calling somebody a liar. Kale of Cotton.

The iPrlve of Prayer*. The fJeneral Assembly on its opening had much to say as to the valne of the prayers which they wanted delivered In either House' each morning. We believe they finally made a "lumping Job of It," and each house elves 875 for as many prayers as they want, so that if one house will meet a little earlier k than the other, the same fellow may pray for ^ i^'.h houses every morning. It seems to us that this was a great waste lor u Reform legislature. What is the matf tt-r with tho Itev. I. A. Sligh ? Why not make him say the prayers, ami thus save the cost?

J Ourcommunity was shocked on Saturday, evening lust, by the announcement of the sudden and unexpected death of our much re- j jspected and greatly beloved fellow-citizen,! | Capt.J. Wardluw Perrin. j ('apt. Perrin was In his office during the' ' morn In? before the day ol his death attendj ing to his duties as County Treasurer, but. he ! went home in the afternoon feeling even then I the premonitions of his approaching death. I He called in medical aid, and nil that tncdl-j I CAI SK II 1 COll 1(1 UO III MIUMIC done; but Ills ailment was beyond the reach ' of medicine, and on the following afternoon, wlih a few buried gasps, be quietly passed away. Tlie immed'ate cause of his death was Irrl| tation of the stomach, which arfecied the heart and paralyzed Us functions. Although apprehensive himself, yet to all outward appearance, he was not dangerously i ill. His physician hud left him only ten minutes before the end came;-hence his death was sudden and unexpected; and hence It j produced a great shock and gave much sorrow to a wide circle of relatives and friends. Perhaps no man in our county was more widely knowu or more highly esteemed. For fourteen years he had held the responsible office of Couuty Treasurer, and during that long period he had been thrown In constant contact with all classes and condltionsofourpeopie. He was easily accessible, and was courteous and polite to nil. A man of the people, of kind heart nnd pleasing manner, he acquired the esteem and love of a wide circle of friends, to whom the tidings of his sudden death will bring a deep seuse of personal bereavement, Capt. James Wardlaw Perrln was the oldest son ofThomas 0. Perrln and Jane E. Perrln. He was born on the 5th May, 1833, In Abbeville village and was educated in its schools, having been prepared for the" South Carolina College by tho Rev. D. McNeill Turner, D.I). After graduating at that college lie studied law and was admitted to tho bur, but never oniormi unnn Its practice, turning his atten tion to agriculture, which lie pursued until the war and entered the Confederate army in 1801. He became a member of Co. B, Orr's Regment. but was soon appointed to the position of Quartermaster of the Regiment, and In this capacity served until the surrender. On his return home he again devoted himself to agriculture, and this he followed until IS7<?, when he was appointed Treasurer for Abbeville county by Gov. Wade Heinpton. This position he held nutll his death, and how faithfully he discharged its duties is known to us nil. On the 4th May, 18.37, Captain Perrin was married to Miss Mary J. Livingston, a daughter of Dr. J no. F. Livingston and Sarah A. Livingston, of Abbeville, a lady of great beauty and accomplishments, who died on the 2)th of January, 1871. Nine children were born to them, of whom the following survive their father: Tho?. c. Perrin, a civil engineer on the C. K. <fc M. Ry.; John L. Perrln, the manager of the Abbeville Oil Mill; Mrs. Sarah A.Thomson, Miss Kmma C. Perrin, James W. Perrin, in the Citadel Academy, and William F. Perrin, a salesman In Abbeville. The luneral services were held In the Presbyterian church at."5 o^clock on Monday, and a large congregation assembled to Join in the last sad rites, and to do honor ro the memory of the departed. The services were conducted oy the Rev. J. Lowrie Wilson, D.D.,the pastor of the church, who dwelt at length on the virtues of the de? ..

The body was then taken to the Upper Long Cane Cemetery and consigned to the grave on the fourteenth anniversary since he took charge of his office. Thus one by one are broken' the links which bound us to our historic past. How fewof those remain who were identified with Abbeville of 18G1! or who participated In the struggles of the eventful war that socoeeded! IIow changed Is even the Abbeville of today from the Abbeville of the recent pa.st. New scenes and new conditions brintr upon u* new relations and new responsibilities. But whilst all is changing around u?, we can never forget, nor cease to cherish the memories and associations which form our brlghest heritage, nor cease to honor the names of those who made us what we are, son of an honored sire and possessed of many of the traits of character which distinguished the father; the name stern integrity, the same kindness ofheart, the same affability of temper. The deceased was In many respects a worthy representative of an age and u people that we can never under value; not indeed until we lose our civilization i'.self. An hmmrflii eiiizen has Dassed away. Let us cherish his memory, Whether as soldier or citizen?In prosperity or In adversity?Captain Perrin was always the same?an honorable man, si courteous gentleman and a sincere friend. Xo More Dancing1 In the Slate Home. The Legislature exercised a little bit. of srife against tho South Carolina Club which gives a ball every year. While hi? "udco Rude" and the rigid righteous are exult ing over the fact the reader, upon reflection, may readily se?the real reason for the passage of the law forbidding gentlemen and ladies ol the Stale to dance In theState House. This Legislature and^this set of State officers are not members of that club. Don't let any pious brother dream that this Legislature is any more pure and spotless or any more anxious to serve the Lord than pre' ceding Legislatures have been. This Leglsla tureand this set of officers, however, don't belong to the club; hence the effort to break 11/ U(>. Irby elected Senntor. On Thursday Representative Jobn L. M. Irby, of Laurens county, was elecied I'nlted States Senator to succeed Senator Hampton after next March. The election has been the subject of much comment hereabout, and we believe the hero of '70 would have been re elected, by a large majority, if the people themselves hud had a chance to vote for him. Many people here are Indignant at the result of the election which dishonored the State in remanding Senator Hampton to private life; and as far as we have heard, the vote of Abbeville county in the contest is the subject of some approval and much dissent. ? 11^ ^ To be Butler's Snrrmor.

The price Is next to starvation prlcj and hence many of them will not sell. Oi stores have been busy, and It Is with gre pleasure that we note evidences of the retui of much of our former trade that was cut c several years ago, by tlie building of ne railroads. Our stocks of goods are first cias and the merchants are able to offer such I ducenients an will bring trade from long dl tance*. Already many planters in dlstai part* have signinea tneir intention to con back to us next year, after being off for man years. They find thut Abbeville after all, the best place to deal wllli.

Having gone to distant markets, < to nearer markets, for the Rate of convei lence, they have become convinced that o Abbeville, their first love, Is best of all.

The vaults of our banks are full of morn; seeking investment, aud those who need th ready cash should come this way. Our ston are brim full of choice goods.

While wo have nothing at all to say, an have 110 advice to give, yet ii seems to be bi: policy for the town to stop Improvements c to drive away b">na fide purchasers. Every patriotic citizen should desire to s( the town grow in slz^, and increase In its bo lucss houses, and in t ic number or lis t n zenti.
