The-author of the reconstruction acts and the enemy of the Soutb is dead. We would not bring reproach upon 4sr selves by indul,,ing in indecorous lan guage over this event, but that the Radi cal hub t weakened by the loss of so im p rtant.a spoke in its nheel, must be re ceived with some degree of- satisfaction, bf a pcople to whose every interest li had sh,wn himself bitterly opposed. He is dead, may all of his measures go with him His body while exposed for exhibition atthe Rotunda was guarded by the Bat ler negro Zuuaves, but the exhibition at tracted little attention except from the negroes. Five Horrors from the Trihune. . The NewYi,rk Tribune, says that if Seymour and. Blair are elected the for lon ing five things will take place: 1st. They will treat the new State gov ernments (these negro burlesques) as nullitics, and proceed at once to replace them by what they called "white ien's governments." 21. That 5-20 bonds 'ill be paid t greenbacks. - . ad. That carpet-baggers and scalla vags will not he too popular in these States 4th. That the blacks-will be-allowed to stay at the Soutti if they behave them selr.es. 5th. That the schcols for the white people here w ill be burnet, arnd the schools for the negroes closed.' Tired of the Party. In the last number of the Anderson Initelliger cer appears a card over 'he signatures of two citizens making recan tationl of their faith. iIavitg become isatiid wiith the toongrel -rule, and dicairping ary further assimnilation with. or love for, the league, they make a puhlid withdrawal from the concern.. An open co)nfession is good for the 'soul. Cnvinced of their cerror and determined tomiake amends t-o their ir,Jur-ed country, by an upright walk in the future, they will he par-doned, arnd fostered by' the democratic party. This is not the first. cardl of the kind which we have seen, and not by -anry m'eans the first acknowledg menit of wrong, or promise of amend ment, and we believe that so commnenda ble, wise and -safe a cnurse, will soon become popular. Come ~ont into the sunshine of truth and safety, ye deluded followers of the generation of vifers, w hich w'ou'd lead you in destr-uction. Veto of the Bill to REduce Bondcl. . Governor Scott, in vetoing the bill wiich originated in the Senate, entited ' An Act to fix the amounts of official .hondsaf certain public ofileers, and to im;ose penal ties on emibezzlement," very sensibly hwsan eve to the publie funds, and t!te cr-edit of the State~, both of which he o.f c<mrso in !r-gely interested in. Thse being important features must he gurdedl at every point, for withourt fonds and with shaking credit, the whole bognus cocern'would go by the board. The newilf appoi:>ted therefore, "not baring been tried" reconstructe~dly, and with a knowledge of their natural proclivities for appropriating the goods of others, this wise Governor, though he "believes them to be true mzen," that is true to their proclivities aforesaid, as we take it, isfraid to trust them with too much li case, and comes down on this bill, much t, the disry of the pet lambs, or more properly black sheep. "The peculiar He r-umistancs in which they are placed, d:mzand that they should furnish the amn p'est guarantees of their official recti t'de." Just so, Governor, takinig all the circumstances together, and there are a great many, they are very decidedly pe culiar, besides suspicious. We hare doubts whether any mother's son of them ought to be trusted further than a bull can be tossed by its horns. Guard the funds by all means, or what is left may be very little ; these carpetthaggers are a peculiar set of devils. The Goev ernor approves the section guarding against embezzlement. THE LUTHERAN AND VIsIToR-We are pleased to find among our exchanges the second number of this paper. It is published in Columbia. by Messrs. Duffie & Chapman, and edited by the Revs. Rude and Miller. The paper -Is large, ad neatly printed, and is furnished to subscribers at $3 per annum. The Cheraw Advertiser material was re, e, tl,1 ol an nt anctionn. . The Eakesbnry Dislict Meeting. The Edgefield Advertiser of the 12th inst., contains the full proceedings of the District meeting held i: Edgefield. The proceedings comprise the list of delegates, names of committees on the various in terests of the church, and reports from pastors. We copy two of these reports, one from Rev. W. S. Black, of this Station, and the other from :he Rev. J. II. Zim merroan of the Circuit; these papers will give the reader the character of the re ports made. The most of them were not as favorable, spiritually, as these two, and we are consoled that thev are so good. Fincancially, the reports are not flattering, but we hope that ere the year be out or the preachers go out to Confer ence, that a better recor d can be made. Rev. W. . lack, Newherry Station, said : There is a decided improven'nt in the spiritual condition of our people, which is attrioutable largely to class-meet ings. The membership attend well, both se rvies and prayer meetings. Family religion on the increase. We have made great improvement in the Sunday School. It numbers 100. The childreu are much interested in the exercises. I think the Sinay $chool cause has increased the family religion. Not as many Advocates taken as ought to be; 7 or 8 taken in mys' charge. My report of the support of the Minister is not so favorable as last year; receivid about half the a,sessment. I at tribute the fallirg off to the fact that the pe, ple have expendd a considerable -mn on the rtp s to the Church, contribu tions to t. e Sunday Scho-4s, and va rious other interests ; I hare collected nearly all the Missionary claim. As to pa.tural visitings, I try tct see all of our people. I think it a great -pon er in the Church. We hope to realize good re silts from the Union meetings. Rev. J. II. Zirumermnan, of Newberry Circuit, said: Have eight Sunday Schools on the Circuit; I Make it my business to attend to the Sunday Scho-ds; I.think the resuits of the Sunday Sc'hool influence on the family circle is good. As to ecllections, I have attended to the Missir.ary collection. I have* the Bish op's fund with me. We anticipate get ting all the collec ion by Conference. Not many-of the Adv,cates taken. Spirit uality of the Church..hns suffered, but e still have the fire there. I have not been able to do as %ich pastoral duty a, I desired ott acconut of the health of my family. Hope the preacher will. e suppco ted. The report In ministerial support which closed the main business tcn tioned in the proceecRgt, we N11 pub .rn ti Our next paper.

No one before has undertaken a full portraiture of this most wonderful ma n. . These wor-ks are elegantly pr in ted and bound, and embellished with superb engrarvigs. Mr. C. G.

In the mean time all ordlers left at this offce for Mr. Haddon, will be gladly received. Humanity. We noticed some time since, (think itswas in Mat ion) that a blacksmith's effects were put up for sale under the sheriff 's hammer, and no one came to bid or buy. [he mani was unfortunate and .sympathy was enlisted for h im. We have noticed a like kind feel ig displayed by our people, and when the property of a struggling bankrupt is up for sale friends step in and endeavor to relieve his anxiety and distress, by the purchase of his home, so that his wife and children shall not be driven forth to the wilds of a pittiless world. But few are disposed to wrest it away, This is mnagnanimous, huane,d brotherly, and as it should be. It proves a great truth, That the sufferings of one member or a comn mn ity, are felt and shared by the others. Th is incident has opened to us a pleasant field of thought. We shall resume the sub ject. We. yesterday. had the pleasure of meet ing with Gen. O II Hart, and found him a pleasant anid agreeable gentleman, end a marn of enlarged, Catholic and conservative views. THE FAKM AND G~ARDEN, for August, is received. The contents~ of this number are interesting and varied, and shtow mub eultivation both in original and selected matter.
