THE WHITENESS OF PURITY AND TKE BLfE OF HEAVES ! The nev: temple of (Tod at Emory, hy historic and lime-honored Mt. Willing, is complete, 'and on Sunday last wa* given to th"? Almighty Jehovah. A worthy gift, beautiful and uninenmbered, with j walis whose whiteness illustrates chris tian purity and whose lovely blue is a j symbol of heaven. And great wa.1 fie day; and great was rho occasion; and great was tho throng: and groat was th.-? work; and great was the joy; and great was the honor; and great was tho grati tude; and great was the outpouring of J haman lov?; and great wasthedemenstra . tion of human fad h. And great waa tl o neac-? of God that tell upon those H;i!!> t.d men ana women-tue Boyd?, Ihej Smiths, the Eferlongs, the Boukniguis the Barneses, the Grigsbys, tho Cauglt-: ?ean?. th.- Wightman?, the Huiett?, ihe; Davenr-cr^, the Pon?, the Mini.'!:?, rho Fores:?, the Rodie.-, the Kennedy?, and many otherstquallygood and true. Forthey had kept th? fdth with Christ and with their lathers. And great WM tho holy mum nh of those nobie soldiers .->t (Jic cross, Clifton and Traywick. For On this day they gathered the fruits of years of patient toil and earnest prayer. Their re ward had come, and they had seen trie salvation of God. And great was the oy and sympathy ot all believing Muli?, for they saw Christ in glory, and their bre:h ren in honor. And great was the strain that opened th* holy services, "When 1 eau read my lille clear/' Seven hundred exultant voices bore it to heaven, and laid i; ?n praise and hope at the feet cf God. And great were the words-full ot' buming faith and loving tenderness-that armor bearer Clifton spoke arter uttering Pac!'* doxology ia Ephesians: "Unto Him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end ! Amen.'' Indeed so great was the occasion of tho dedication of Emory Chapel-in its spirit ual and emotional aspects-and so in tensely did we enjoy the day in those re gards-thai we. find it distasteful and dif ficult io come down to commonplace ex ternal matters and merely practical words The new Church building is long, large and capacious, with lofty ceiling, high arv! numerous windows, two aisles, commo dious pews, a tasteful chancel and a beau tiful alcove. Thc side walls are pure white, while the ceiling aoovo is the color of heaven-really and truly the moat ! lovely blue wc have ever seen oui of God's sky. And right here let us beg the build-1 icg committee-and the ladies, who.have wish him io sit-and pray and preach beneath the color of heaven. The pews arc not yet painted, but will he so by the assembling of the District Conference. The carpeting of the aisles and cha; tel will no doubt be soon accomplished by the nolle women of the congregation. The beautiful sofa in the: alcove, an! tlw beautiful desi:, chairs and table in thc chancel are th e.gift bf our old friend, .Mr. James S. Pou. And we feel honored lo call him "oar old friend." The beautiful bible -ind hymn book upon the desk are the gifts, respectively, c: Mr. and Mrs. 'fray wick. The building has cost ?1250, ot which sum, on the day of dedication, - $350 was unpaid and uapromised. At tue close of Mr. Clifton's Sae sermon, and before ihc- dedication services, Mr. Tray wick made an appeal for tb:? tum: asi iu less thar, half rm hour S100 wa?? given him. Mr. Jacob Smith gave. ?50; IV. Martin Rushton, ?25; Mr. Frank Boyd $25; Mr. Wright Grigsby, an?! Hon ? dinton Ward, $25. The rest of tho was given ir. sum" of ten, live and fcwc dollars. Noble, rompt and generous And after ike co;, 'lion, followed ihr ema dedication, ii:-; bnilding having beor tirsT presented by Mr. Frank Boyd, a Chairman of thc- Committee. And Emory Chapel became a holy temple of th* Living Cod1 And long may it stand :?s s monument of the christian "cal o: ;?; people, and os a testimony noi onl> o! t heir triumphant faith and holy hope, hui of their steadfast belief in christianity a; the very foundation and groundwork o our civilization. SENATOR HAMPTON NOT A CANDI DATE FOR GOVERNOR NOB ANY OTHER OFFICE. Ile Does .\*ot Like the KegistraliMi Law Xor the General Stork Lau. Recently ;here has been some tait of the resignation of Senator Hamj . toa and bis becoming a candidate .foi Governor of the State. He bas ins! written a patriotic letter to the Newe and Courier in which he sets the matter at rest. He is tired of pub lic life and will retire as soon aa he can properly do so. He will under no circumstances be a candidate fd Governor. He says our success is as sured if we "adopt and carry out in good faith" the principles of 1876. Ile also speaks of hi* opposition to the Registration law and the general stock law, but holds that the remedy is not independentism or a restora tion of Radical rule. He says: "I regret therefore beyond ex. pression to see dissatisfaction in any quarter, because of opposition to some of the measures adopted at the last, session of iii- Legislature. Without reflecting in the slightest degree upon either the wisdom or the patriotism of thal body, i think that their actio:; iu regard to the Registration law and the Stock law was unfortunate, ?.ut my opposition to these laws is no rea?>oii why 1 should desert the only party that, has: given honest and good government j to the State since, the war. My con ception of Democracy is that the ma- j jority should rule, and those who op pose the measures mentioned will ! have the opportunity of ascertaining I afc ihe iieii election, on which side i majority stand?. Should it hp the Lpopuiar will ?hat these daws should I He lepeaV-.i or modified, the Legisla : art can lake action in that direction." f o y\ n VMmm AT LKKS VILLE, Prnf. Busby in the Midst of His Pupils and Constituent!:. The closing exercises of the Lees ville English and Classical Institute, under the management of Rev. E. L. Bushy, A. M., cm Thursday, the 22d inst., gave universal satisfaction and delight. The occasion called eut the j border clans on either side; and Lees- i I ville surged with humanity in its moet amiable phase, and with hospi tality in its highest development. The commencement exercise-? were held in the Lutheran Church, and were ..pened with an earnest prayer 'ny the Rev. Mr. lustier, of the Meth odisr Church. Prof. Busby is apreach er of ?be Lutheran Church. The mid-cUy picnic entertainment was held in the spacious and nnincum bered upper room of the Academy. Leesville has kept pace, o: late years, j in raate'ial progress, with any town in .South Carolina, and we have every reason to hope that with rapidly in? creasing material facilities, Prof. Bus- j by will soon build up an institution ot learning second to none in our State. As far as he himself is con cerned, he is fully abk, as regards natural gifts, education, zeal, indus try. or conscientious duty. With sin cere pIo.r-.nre we bear teetiraony of the grow inf; interests in the caa?.* of education throughout our laud, ai i believe that we discern indications, j I as at Leesville, of not only a higher : ! moral training for worran, but of in t!. ? j also which is of erp.tal importance i the higher moral training of mai,.

EDITORS EDGEFIELD ADV: I I SER. -In y om iouo^of thc 22d instati I find an extract; fror.} the News and : Courier, headed "SepaVatia Polling!" Places," under the non da plume of j '.Edge?iold." Now. il .-rv Kd i tors, j if'the. writer .-ia really aa Edgeiield man, I am surprised it his reckless | indiscretion.

This, in my opinion, fibows j bad temper and is entirely too severe on the Representatives^ ! lb ? \ eople. If the Legislature has made amis take in engrafting the Registration Act; in the Sftttute Laws ot the State, I think the proper cour.-.-.! for us tc pursue, ia to accept the law as we fiud it and rigidly enforce it, and it contrary to the opinion ol ' Edgefield" we find virtue in the Act, it will be retained, if not then it. an bc repeal ed; at, all event.', I think wa had bet ter give it a fair trial this year. A regards th? fwo polling; place*, ? dif j for in toto from "Edgefield:" i have always been of the opinion that the State anti l\a ti on a I -'-Elections should be pe;tar.:.!*', and hy bein* separat ?

I was considerably amused, while the discussion was going on, to note the general inattention of the "Fathers." I saw our Senator H. and Senator Frye, of Maine, quietly chatting over fishing matters. "Maree Wade" had a piece of red tape illustrating to Mr. Frye how the cork and h-: ok should be attached to the line, and how he must jerk to catch the peculiar fish in question. Zeb, as usual, with others, was off in one corner cracking jokes, telling anecdotes, etc. There is one thing that strikes you forcibly while in the Sonate, and that is the enormous size of a large ma jority of the members. Why there are some of them so absolutely gigantic as io be obliged to have chairs mado especially to suit them. I have not been in the House yet, but hear that they are doing little or nothing there.

Malloy, in which the lie was given hy the former which was followed by a knock down from the latter. Cash has since challenged Malloy, but the latter refused to accept it. Both Cash, who sent the challenge, and his eon, who carried it, have been ar rested. A good deal of excitement prevails in Cheraw over the affair, end serious consequences are antici pated. ir.rr.mirrirr'r-III-MBM-a--minn nu i j Thc Crumb of Comfort for Smalls. I The sub-committee on Elections 1 has worked itself np to the requisite height, and decides that Col. Tillman was not elected member of Congress j from ihe Fifth Sooth Carolina Dis j trict and that Robert Smalls we?, i There is not much probability that ! the report will be acted on hy tho j House of Representativas at the [?re . sent session, but we rather hope rbat jit will be. The expulsion of ?'ol. I Tillman, who, waa elected, for the j benefit of Ex Convict Major-General Smalls, light-colored colored, who was not elected, will help us in ihe n^zt canvas?. Ti will make more j Democrats. The Fifth Congressional District of South Carolina consists of follet?n, Beaufort, Barnwell, Edgefield, Aiken and Hampton, and the official returns gave Tillman 23,325 votes and Small? 15,287 votes, a majority of 8,038 for Tillman. The statement in detail is as follows: Tillman. Small?. Colleton, 3,475 2,776 Beaufort, 301 5,978 Barnwell, 5.422 2,445 Edgefield, 6.467 1,046* Aiken, 1.0 0 1,467 Hampton. 2.500 1.575 23,325 15,287 To convert Tillman's majority imo a majority for Smalls would puzzle any one who relied on trustworthy evidence and palpable facts, but Smalls had faith in the party. The Republican doctrine ia that every colored man naturally and inevitably votes the Republican ticket, and that those who do not are driven from tbe polls and are not allowed to vote. There being a colored ran jori ty in the Fifth District it follows, accord ing to Rcpubiioan logic, that .Smalls wfln elected. Smalls, therefore, de manded that fhfl whole vote of Col leton, Earnweii and Edgefield be thrown out on the ground of fraud. Thi= was not. enough, so he proposed, besidsH, lo fig!.re down tho D.->mo crahic voia i;i Hampton and Aiken so nc tn - leave him small majority, The testimony in the case d.sproves every allegation ot general intimida tion anil fraud. Take Edgefield as au example. The proof there is rbf.t the Republican leaders massed their followers nt the Courthouse, armed with clubs and bludgeons, with the intention, of lairing and holding tbe poll.- so as to prevent rhe whites fi om voting. The town was actually be leaguered by bands itt negroes who camped on the different road* and fired on citizens who went ont to ask their intentions. More than two hundred negroes marched up to the polling place on the morning of eleo tion, swinging their clubs and en deavoring to seize the polls. i/Jliey were prevented from doing th^kind invited to go up and vote ne^B They sn Mealy wir];^?^J Hs^ where. ^IvQBB&PKB&A eke inftue charges o? violence in Edge field, Jand by that county the other impugned counties can be judged. There was a large colored vc.te for ? Tillman. Except in Beaufort, colored men are found to have voted tbe Democratic ticket at every precinct. At Aiken 1?0 colored men are proved i to have voted for Tillman,at Meeting : street precinct 200 colored men voted j for Tillman, at Beldoc 50, at Milieu's i 65, and so on through the different counties. In Barnwell County alone there were 1,372 colored men in the Democratic clubs; and there weie 225 in one club at Allendale. Th?3, together with the unpopularity of Small3, account! for Tillman's ?lec tion. The usual election rows, such as take place everywhere, there were, no doubt, and it is not to be supposed that the. Democrats failed to nee every proper influence to prevent the colored people from voting for Smalls. Giving to Smalls the benefit of every allegation which has a eolor of proof, there ip still a handsome majority 'cr the pitting member. The Stalwarts in Congress waot additional votes in ibo House, and they do not oare a straw whet lier tbe. men were elected or not, Proceed ing upon the assumption thai they are entitled to the whole colored vote on the color line, they pul in the Republican contestants, as in the Chalmers, Wheeler. Fiuley and Dib ble cases' in defiance of law and fact. No compromise is possible with such a partv acting in so shameless a man ner. South Carolina is solidified.
