I?WIT?UII.1 irn?tMii i. ii Jas. T, Bacon. ThosJ. Adams. EDITORS. ?. KEE9E, Corresponding Editor. Edgefield, 8. C., April 7, 1881. Senator Voorhees Beards Billy Mahone. In the Senate on..Friday last, Senator - Voorhees, Democrat, of Indiana, took the | floor and ?eut,foJhe^clerkV desk ?nd had read an ?xtract from the Evening 2ele graph, a Philadelphia Republican paper wh?ch al!oded to Mahone as "a renegade Democrat," and charging that his acting "With the Republicana was in consequence of a disgraceful bargain. .- Hoar objected io its being read, and Voorhees stated that he would endoree it and make it his speech. Hereupon, Mahone and one or two of his Republican allies ranted and became im pudent, when Voorhees cut the matter "short by speakipg out thus ; - " I endoree the term ' Renegade Demo crat.' I endorse everything ehe that may be construed to refect on tn? course of the deserter, from Virginia, and without bi* taking time to put the words upon me, he can seek his redress. There is ho use in making any mistake about this matter a?, all." Tue Concealed Weapons Law. We are delighted to say that the new law seems to be working decidedly well ia EJgefield. Since the beginning of thc year, the few scriraa;4ge? we have had, on public days, have he n entirely of the fi?t and skull order. And no longer does the - convenient pistol-five or seven shooter, self-cocking, nickel-plated or silver renou t ed--No. 3S or 46-Jo its deadly work upon the court house square. It matters bat little, as a general thing, bow much men batter up each other with the i fist?; but for God's sake let us be done with the fatal pistol.'. _ Senator Hampton Vindicates South Carolina. Among all the speeches made in the U. S. Senate daring the deadlock which has lasted so long, and which still continue tt that of Senator Hampton, on the 29th ul timo, was one of the best and most forci ble. It is thus described by the Washing ton correspondent of the Columbia Heg ister: "General Hampton began very com posedlv, standing by the side of his desk with his left hard in his pantaloons' pock et. At first he did not use his carefully prepared manuscript. But having to read j Mahone's remarks alluding to the repudia tion of the debt of the Southern States, including South Carolina, he continued to read to the conclusion, throwing the sheet? on the tl cor first to one side and then to the other.. He showed up very vigorously Aiahone's ignorance of affairs in South Carolina, in which he was aided by hi? colleague General Butler; who silenced Hoar effectually by alluding to bis obtuse ness in failing to comprehend a very plain statement Leaving the debt of South Carolina, which he showed was foisted on her by carpet-bag adventurers, and not re pudiated by ber own people, he discussed the matter of organizing the Senate. Al luding to the Kellogg case and recent events for illustration of diff?rences be tween the parties, be said Democrats bad been magnanimous in great mattere like a Senatorabip and in the formation of the committees while Republicans now insist on turning out at an executive session, by tb? aid bf the Vice-President's vote, a few officiais who were Democrats. He took ground strongly against the right of the Y ice-President to sway the Senate in this manner. It bad never been contemplated th;-1 he should have this power. Genera) Hampton's language was sometimes se vere, but entirely parliamentary. The speech was quite effective, especially the j fine part, relating to South Carolina mat ters. It was in the old style of oratory, but was delivered with eminent propriety of tone and manner and with hardly any gestures. Dignified, it was not tame in composition, but gracefully and happily written. The Republicans were guilty of the discourtesy of pretending not to hear your 8enator throughout. Hoar, Ingalle and Dawes were notably busy reading newspapers. General Butler's' manner in convicting Mr. Hoar of : dullness was in imitable." Our Railroad Becoming a Doubly Im portant Route, The Richmond and Danville Railroad 'Company, which for a year or two past have owned the C. C. <fe A. Kai I roa I and the Columbia & Greenville Railroad, bave lately leased the Atlanta & Charlotte Air Line Railroad. And upon this subject the Anderson journal speaks as follows: "Aa the matter now stands ail the rai! - roads in South Carolina are either owned or controlled by this-combination except the South Carolina Railroad, the Charles ton and Savannah Railroad and the Port Royal and. Augusta Railroad, and these will either be absorbed or temporarily cut ' ott and made powerless by Col. Wadley's Georgia Central combination. Thus it may be that the Savannah Valley Railroad project will soon loom up into greater im portance than hitherto. - In view of the fact that the Tennessee and Kentucky sys tem of railroads have in view an outlet to the sea over the Blue Ridge mountains, it now appears that they will encounter the Virginia combiuation in every direction save to connect with the Son th Carolina P?silroad or the Port Royal Railroad by way of Anderson and the Savannah Val ley Railroad. It is plain that there is now little chance for an independent short line to have any influence in railroad mattere, but it appears al present that the Savan nah Valley Railroad, is the key to Oie sit uation,/\irnishing a connecting Uni: where by a powerj'ul combination can reach th seaboard independent oj lite company that nena has so nearly the entire Slate in its clutches. We shall anxiously await the developments of tSese giant swings, and shall hope for .the better for the interests of our country, feeling certain that our people can give Anderson the most envia* - ole positon of any - town in the State in affording her competitive railroad lines by completing the Savannah Valley Railroad, thereby offering substantial inducements for a through trunk line from the West to ' pass by our doors. . . i M. ?*? tm i Diu Wharton Seeking to go Abroad. The Eufaula (Ala.) correspondent of the Athinta Constitution thus writes of a dis tiflguished preacher who bas been in Edge field lately. Rev. Dr. M. B^ Wharton, . whom your Washington correspondent tells ns is in Washington asking for the clisahtt?ui Balee, wasjormejly jjastor Of the First Baptist Church at Eufaula. ""Hirj is almost irresistible in his appeals, and if he fails to get this office it will be his first recorded failure. He is the man that got the $50,000 out of Governor Browp for the Baptist seminary at Louisville. During his recent visit to Rome, Ga., Captain M. L. Bonham, Jr., made such a favorable impression on his Georgia friends that President Mal lory, of the Shorter College, joined with the Presidents of the literary eocieties of that institution in extend ing to him an invitation to deliver the annual address before the socie ties on the 14th of Jane next. It will be a source of regret t?o his-iriends to know that it will be impossible to accept the invrtttfon.--Abbeville Press and Banner. ' .' Seventeen prisoners were received .at the penitentiary to-day. twelve from Sparenburg and live from Col* bi pl wi pb For the Advertiser. A Memorable Occasion in Newberry College. March 26,1881. . It was my good fortune to happen in the embjyo city of Newberry on the 20th of March. In the evening was the scene of a pleasant occasion'for all lovers of learning' and educational interests, and such truly are the people of this enter prising little city, as was certainly then and there evinced. It is un occasion o? yearly occurrence, yet one in which a live ly interest is always manifested. It was the 22hd Anniversary Celebration of the Excelsior Literary Society of Newberry College. The exercises were held at the Pyrtaneam, which was literally filled, and a more orderly, attentive audience, I never saw anywhere, which certainly speaks well for the citizens of Newberry, and no less for the young men of the Society, and the high esteem in. which they, and the institution they represent, are held by the g wi people of the community. The exercises began about 8 o'clock, and for two hours we had a feast of letters. The society occupied the front seals, ex cept the representatives who took seats on the rostrum. Not to fl itter, yet we must say we were impressed , with the fine ap pearance ot these young, men. The ros trum was not gaudy, yet neatly decor.itedf and in the centre, and^at."the top, were suspended the badge, and the mottoes of the societies cut iu letters covered with evergreen. To mingle in auch scenes brings vividly to mind the not very long past when the writer was an active par ticipant on these occasions, and we feel, boys, as if we should iike to be with you again, and our heart and sympathies shall ever- be with you on these occasions. The exercises of the evening were opened with prayer, after which the presiding of ficer of the occasion, Mr. G. E. Werber of Newberry, delivered, in a very happy and pleasing style, an introductory address His remarks were well timed, and highly adapted to the occasion, and were received ?frith cheers by his auditors. The essayist'of the evening, Mr. E. J Houseal of Newberry, was next introduc ed and read a very excellent paper on "The Fallacies of Youth." The paper was very creditable to the young essayist. He contrasted youth and age, and what a graDd thing it would be if each rising gen oration would begin where the preceding left off and profit by their experiences. Mow rapid would be the strides upward and onward, of earth's fallen races, if the fallacies of youth could be avoided The chief among which is self-esteem, or as same one has expressed it, "vanity u the only evil." One of the chief antidotes for these evils is the printiug press, which by making ita educational influence high-ton ed, and-giving to the youths of the coun try a pure literature, and by expunging much of the sensational trash of the day from its columna, may do much to correct many of the errora of youth. The question, "Is a Republican pr?f?ra, able to a Monarchical form of government? was next discussed, and was represented in the affirmative by Mr J. R. Lea veli, Jr. of Newberry. The young debater went on to point out the ends of government to be the promotion of the happiness and prosperity of the governed. To insure liberty, justice, peace, freedom of thought and speech, of religion and of the press, and by citing numerous examples, espe cially that of our own republic, went on to show that a republican. Sorta of govt rn ment best subserved thc3e ends, and hence ?s preferable. The speech was well deliv ered, and Hr. L-avell bidd fair to be CM orator. The negative formed a representative in Mr. W. J. C herry, of Chester. Mr. C her ry went on to substantiate his position from the nature of the governments under consideration, and from their practical op erations. Government is a means to a certain end, and admitting that end to be the same as claimed by tho affirmative proceeded to prove that a monarchy, U3e ed in the sense of a limited monarchy, best accomplished this end. The great characteristic of monarchy is power. To mach freedom is a dangerous^prerogative Sectional strfe and bitterness must exist in a republican form of government. A monarchical form of government is more lasting. By reference to numerous facts in the history of republics the speaker from analogy concluded that a monarch i cal form of government is preferable. He presented the government of England as a prominent example in favor of his posi tion. Mr. Cherry argues well, and I wish f could give you a brief of the arguments of both the?e young men. I shall not dis criminate. Where both did w well, ij, would be invidious so to do. The cratoi of the evening, Mr. W. G Houseal, of Newberry, was next introduc ed, and entertained the audience in a most instructive style on "The real object of life." Mr. Houseal showed, in a most vivid manner, the sad spectacle of the majority of the human family subverting the true end of existence by worshiping it the shrine of ambition, or doing horn ige to the God of wealth. Man was ere ited for a high and noble purpose ; not >nly for a few brief years here, but for an existence beyond, and he who lives with i view to this higher life comes the near ?t meeting the highest, the noblest, pur tat ends of existence. His address at the :lose to the members of the society was ery good. The enjoyment of the evening ia much ndebted to Mrs. Clark, for the most ele. ;ant music discoursed by her on the piano, b ?etbre and after each address. It was an |j iccasion long to bo remembered, and most ? ?leaeantly, ty all who were present. May Si he College and her societies long continue g, 0 prosper. B TREBLE. ^ ai For the Advertiser.

The Aiken Sch?tzenfest is announc ed for April 21 and 22, Augusta May 4 and 5. Rev. Dr. Curry, general agent of the Peabody fund, has consented to visit South Carolina and make a per Bonaf inspection of the public school system, in order that he may be ad* vised how he can best aid in thc work of education in that State. The employment of lady clerks iu dry goods stores has been commenced in Columbia. . Colonel J. P. Thomas, of Charlotte, N. C., at-whose suggestion the move ment to ere t a monument to General Micah Jenkins has been revived, has sent a contribution ?if $65 from South Carolinians living in Charlotte to the fund. Two more" Ger mau immigrants ar rived in Columbia on Saturday. They come to buy land, in the hope of set tling a colony. A telegram to Colo nel Butler from Rev. Robert Newman announced that three more would ar rive on Sunday, and seven families and one young shoemaker would ar rive on Tuesday. An employee of Mr. Warren S. Wells was plowing one day last week, and by some means ran his plow against a stump. This threw the horse backward upon the Btump, and cut a hole in the side of his stomach, large enough to insert your two fiste. His entrails c?.we out and had to be sustained to keep them from the ground. Mr. Wells says . he then threw the horse upon his side, 6ewed up the gash, and up to this time he ia doing weil. This is surgery with a vim.--Sumter Watchman, April 1. The gratifying announcement ?3 made in the News and Courier, that the firm oi James Adger & Co. has resumed business. The suspension of this house last year, which had en joyed high credit for over fifty years, v J a surprise and shock to that com munity. It was felt that Charleston had met with grave disaster. The recovery of the firm and its return to mercantile circles is a source of pro found gratification to a very large circle of friends. It is also encour aging to the business future of that grand old city that this firm has weathered its disasters. Charleston will again feel the experience and energy of the very able head of the firm. EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.-The Gov ernor yesterday pardoned John Kil crease and commuted the sentence of William Kilcrea8e to one month's im prisonment in jail. They had been convicted of larceny of live stock in Edgefield County and sentenced to twelve months in the penitentiary. William is 15 years old and John is 10. Their parents were convicted and sentenced, and are uow in the penitentiary . for the same offense. The pardon and commutation were granted upon the recommendation of the Judge, Solicitor and jury.-Reg ister of Sunday. A STARTLING REPORT.-A report er foi the Daily News was informed yesterday by a trustworthy gentleman lust from Union that the Spartan burg and Union Railroad had passed into the hands of the Clyde syndicate [>n the previous day. It was stated that the parties in interest desired to keep the sale a secret until Monday, when the Clyde party expects to pur chase the Spartanburg and Asheville. The question naturally arises wheth er the Clyde syndicate would not 1-ke bo make a bid for the entire State in i lump and take it off our hands. Greenville Ncivs, April 2.

Simple ! Sale ! Permanent ? Thc plans ot "THE PALMETTO MUTUAL BENEFIT ASSOCIATION" aro simple, safe and permanent.

The mortuary Assessments are calculated upon the American Experience Tables, are strict ly equitable, and nrovide purely mutual protection ul actual cost. The amount of assessment increases every year in accordance with the mortality ol' each particular age, thus equalizing the burdens of the old and young, and providing lhat permancn cy which the plans of most other societies have failed to secure. The mortuarv assessments are deposited as they are collected with the " First National Bank, of Charleston, S. C.." an.l constitute a scored fund for the payment of Death Claims only. The funds arising from these assessments cannot be loaned or invested in securities of any kind, but must remaiu on deposit in bank, subject to sight drafts for the payment of Death Claims.
