Saved From the Gallows. A THRILLING INCIDENT IN THE CA REER OF A NASHVILLE MINISTER. -WHAT ANDREW JOHNSON I)D FOR REV. JOHN S. YOUNG. A Nashville Zorrespondent of the Chicago Trioune, writing of our chun.as and their pastors, relates this thrilling':imid4nt of tihlate war: "The second Presbyterian church, composed mostly of Northern citizens who have settled here since the war, or those who have ever been unionists, have called to their pastorate, the Rev. John Youpg, once a brave and daring Confederate soldier. and with an intensely interesting history. Like many young men of his age, born in Tennessee, he espoused the cause of the Confederacy, and was one of the first to connect himself with the army. He had the misfortune to be captured in 1863, and was adjudged by a drum head court-martial to be guilty. with a number of others, of waging guerrilla warfare. These court-martials had but one way of dealing with such pris oners, and Young and his companions were sentenced to be hung. It was nothing that Young was innocent of the charge-~circumstances were against him and the law inexorable. There -were nine others condemned, but Young was one of four who es caped the dreadful death. Andrew Johnson was then military governor of Tennessee, and to him urgent ap peals were made to avert the coming doom. When first approached upon the subject of a reprieve Johnson treated Young's friends abruptly, if not even rudely. But happily he was soon brought to the belief that injus tice was about to be done, came to the rescue, and determined to save the in nocent from their dread peril. He acknowledged in his heart the justice of Young's appeal for executive clem ency, and quietly went to work to have him reprieved by Mr. Lincoln, the on ly person powerful to set aside the judgments of the court-martial. It did.not take him long to set the mat ter before the President and Secretary of War, and soon received positive as surance that Young would not be exe cuted. It was not his province to tell what he-had done, and for two weeks previous to the time set for the bang ing of the men, no one knew of the reprieve save himself and private see retary. ~ At this time the mother of Young, whose heart was torn with the bitterest sorrow, became a daily visitor to Mr. -Johnson's office, and pleaded in the most pathetic manner, as only a mother could plead, for the life of her son. MLr. Johnson gave no sign, nor let her know by word or action that there was any hope whatever, or that anything would avert the impending * doom. As the timie grew shorter and shorter, and the dread day was ap proaching on swift wings, the motber's grief became more and more poignant, until .she became the shadow of her * former self. Three days before the intended execution she went -to Mr. most eloquent appeals that could pos sibly escape the lips of a good and true woman; who would never givenup hope as long as life remains. At this time Mr. Johnson, as if wearied with the subject, dismissed her and it by say ing, "Telegra~ph to the war depart mnent." As she left the room the *.private secretary followed. She had deeply wrought upon his feelings, and worked in him the tenderest sympathy. He could no longer witness her, grief -and conceal from her the glad tidings that were to turn her sorroiwinto joy, her night into morning. When they reached the rotunda of the capitol he said to her, "Madam, there is hope ; be not downcast; do as Mr. Johnson has bid you, and your son will be saved." In an instant her face was radiant and unspeakable joy was visi ble in every feature. Thanking him cordially for the information she has tened down into the city, sent the dis patch, and the foilowing day received the reprieve that lifted the burden from her heart and saved her son from ~ -an ignominious death. At the close of the war Young was released from imprisonment, It then became known for the first time to his family that it was through Mr. Johnson's instrumen tality that the reprieve was granted. Mr. Johnson did many such acts of kindness for which -he has never re ceived his full meed of credit. It is only since his death that such reminis cences have come to light. "Subsequent to Mr. Young's im prisonment he studied for the ministry. By diligent application he has achieved much distinction among his brethren. He is thoroughly liberal in all his views, and has buried all feeling with reference to the late unpleasantness, eschews politics altogether, and at S tends faithfully to the wants of his flock, by whom he bids fair to become greatly beloved. Certainly no one is more worthy of their esteem." The subject of the above interesting sketch is a member of the South Caro lina Presbytery, of which Newberry is a part. He has many warm friends in this County, who will be pleased to read this account of a thrilling chap ter in his history.

THOS, F. GRENEKER, EDITOR. NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 2, 1876. A PAPER FO.t THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. Fr Terms, see first page. No Court at Laurens. The Herald says that "notwith standing the presepce of a live Judge and Solicitor Fleming, there was no court at Laurens." We suppose that the presence of a live Judge was the cause of there being no court, and we compliment Judge Moses for the posi tion which he took. The Herald says that "the ruling of His Honor if understood correctly-was that Laurens' has no Jury Commissioner, because the Senate had not confirmed the appointment of N. H. Henderson," who officiated in the drawing of a jury which gave dissatisfaction. The idea Drevailed that fraud had been com mitted, and Cols. Simpson, Ball and Ferguson have been appointed to ex mine the jury box. The hope is en tertained that Governor Chamberlain will in his next appointment select a better man than Henderson, who is accused .of ugly things enough to fill a chapter. Mr. Gerrymander Redivivus. The Hoge gerrymandering trick having proved ineffectual, it is re commended by the judiciary com niittee to redistrict the State in the following manner. The counties in italics have a negro majority: First District-Georgetown, Wil liamnsburg, .Darlington, Marlboro', Borry, Marion, Chesterfield and Sum ter. Second District-Charleston, Or angeou'rg and Clarendon. (It will be seen that Lexington has been taken out of this district.) T hird Dis riciL-Richland, New berry, Abbeville, Laurens, Anderson, Pickens, Oconee and Lexington. Fourth District-Grenville, Spar. tanburg, Union, York, Chester, Fair field, Kershaw and Lancaster. Fifth District-Beaufort, Barnt In the above arrangement we can very plainly see the form of Mr. Gerrymander or Salamander or b whatever name the meandering rascal may go. He certainly meanders about through the State in a very curved way to gather up radical votes enough in each Congressional District to secure a representative. Would it be asking too much to let the white people have one representative at Washington ? How modest we are! Our Duty. We have been a sorely tridd people for a number of years. Whatever we may have committed the punishment has been beyond measure. The change in our condition, social and political, has been so sudden and so thorough, our misfortunes have been so over whelming, our prostration has been so complete, that the world must acknowledge that only a truly manful spirit could have borne up under them without yielding to despair. We have endeavored by means judicious and otherwise to regain lost fortune, adapt ourselves to the changed con dition of tihings, and still retain our honor unsullied and our rights unim - paired. We have tried to accommo date ourselves to the circumstances and procure a government that might be tolerated if it was not such a one as we desired. We have not suc ceeded. When at last, through the outrageous action of the Legislature, in electing such corrupt men judges as Whipper and Moses, Jr., the indig nation of all decent people in the United States has been aroused to such a degree that there is a fair prospect of throwing off the yoke of misgovernment, it is but natural that we should seize with all our might and energy the opportunity which is offered us. But at such moment the utmost caution and judgment is re quired to accomplish our purpose. It cannot be accomplished without una nimity of action by all those who de sire reform and the utmost liberality extended t.o all those who would join in bringing about the result. We want good government, and it is thought it can only be brought about by the reorganization of the Demo cratic party. Let us, therefore, or ganize and send men in whose judg ment and honesty we can confide to the connvention; buEt let them go nn. state of liffairs it would be a grea bluuder to hamper our representatives who may be much more able whe1 they meet to consider the state o things as they have developed them selves up to that time than we can d( now. Organize, select proper men get a list of all the voters and thei residences, so as to prevent fraud a the ballot-box, disseminate informa tion, exert yourself in all possibli ways honestly to convince, but let u rely upon the honor and judgment o our representatives to do the best fo us they can. Do not let us forestal the platform or mode of action to b adopted by the convention. Registration Required by th Constitution. We copy below a very suggestiv article from our neighbor of the Spai tanburg Herald. The Constitutio requires the Legislature to provide fc registration of all electors and lik< wise for the election of Justices of th Peace by the people. As long as w have an honest and judicious chie magistrate it may make little practica difference whether Trial Justices, ar appointed by the Governor or justice of the peace are elected by the peopl In some counties-Newberry perha: ircluded-the latter mode may b more conducive to the administratio of justice ; still it is unconstitutiona As to the necessity of having a regis tration law passed to keep the ballk box pure there can be no doubt, an the Legislature should be spurred an spurred again to do their duty in thi respect. "Nearly eight years have passed sinc the present State Constitution wa adopted. The 3rd section of the 8t article of the Constitution requires th Legislature,to provide for the registra tion of voters, in the following words "'Section 3rd. It shall be the dut of the General Assembly to provid from time to time for the registratio of all electors.' " "No words can be plainer and n duty made more imperative than th duty required of the Legislature i this section to provide for registratiot and yet that duty has been neglecte for eight years. That this neglect c duty has been willful no one will pr tend to deny. The refusal of th General Assembly to provide for th registration of ~electors is a flagran violation of the Constitution and th question arises, Is an election withov registration a legal election? Thi question is being seriously mooted an may lead to consequences little though of by "the powers that be"~who hay been rioting in their supposed unlinr ited power. If an election held witi out registration is unconstitutiona the present State Government, in a its ramifications, is unconstitutional "Whom the gods wish to destroy the first make mad" is an old adage whic may find its verification in the acting and doings of the party in power i this State. They have for three su< cessive Legislatuires persistently re fused to carry out the plainest provi sion of the State Constitution in orde to accomplish partisan purposes. The know that the registration of elector would make it necessary for ever el.ector to vote at his own precinc where registered-that it would put stop to the fraudulent practice c "voting early and often" at the diffei ent precincts-that it would give oi opportunity for challenging the righ to regisLer and the right to vote which would guard the ballot bo: against many frauds now practice' with success. "Would it not be well for the Coul gressional Election Coinmittee, whil investigating Hoge's right to a seat i the Third Congressional District upol other grounds, also to inquire into th question of the constitutionality o the Congressional election held with out the registration of electors as re quired by the State Constitution."~ The following extract from a lette of Vidette, the eagle-eyed and as ye uinexpelled Columbia correspondent o the News & Courier, is too good t be lost to our readers: -A MORAL BONANZA. "It seems that the misdeeds an< wickedness of our law makers havy been heard outside the confines of th Palmetto . State, and that there ar philanthropists and missionaries in th North who indulge the vain hope o reforming them. At any rate, you correspondent noticed this miorning that immediately after the preliminar; religious exeicises to which he has re ferred were concluded, all the colore< members lolled off, commenced to pee intently into a little octavo volume which each one of them seemed to bi supplied with. An investigation de veloped the fact that the volume whic1 was being so intently and universall2 peered into was called "Dymond' Moral Philosophy or Essays upon th Principles of Morality ;" and I hay been further informed that the bool was sent by a Quaker named Jos Walker, who resides in Philadelphia and who presented one hundred copie; to Bampfield and Miller, the two can ary-colored delegates from Beaufort, t< be distributed among their colored col leagues. , Now to see the members o the South Carolina Legislature study ing the principles of morality is an il lustration of the eternal fitness o: things which is not exhibited to th< world more than once or twice in century, although I am somewhat at loss to understand the distinction thal t members of the ring beyond the re motest hope of reformation, even by 'Dymond's Moral Philosophy.'" The above named Quaker may be a Novel character for all we know ; bul whoever acted his part is the Jeffersou or Burton of practical comedy. r Editorial Review. t Beecher said lately that "God don't love monks." Beecher ought to know. Moody and Saukey have finished Philadelphia, and the Hippodrome al New York is ready to receive them. Efforts are being made, to raise th( Bachman Endowment fund of $50, 000 for the Newberry Lutheran Col lege at Walhalla.

The Legitimate Object of Party Organization. MR. EDITOR:-It is the principle of representative government that every i citizen have indirectly a part in ad- 1, ministering the political affairs of State, e County or Municipality. The main I object of party organization is to nomi- a nate men for public office who repre- 1 sent their views and sentiments in sef 1 erence to the administration of public affairs. Men have to agree upon some great general principles common to i them all and merge all minor differ ences and unite upon some man or men to represent those common princi- L ples in their stead. If the votes were y not centred upon some men a combina tion of the bad and unprincipled would a soon upset government. It becomes, s therefore, the duty of every one who has r his country's good at heart to discard t all private malice., divest himself of all t prejudice and assist in electing the man who by his nomination is supposed to represent that common principle. This requisite of party organization has, however, its limits. It must not go to the extent to endorse every man just because he is put forward by a com mittee and made the nominee of a party. The committee or conventiop t should nominate such men as by their character for honesty and judgment would make it morally obligatory upon a member to vote for him. These remarks are prompted by Art. S8 of a proposed constitution for Demo Scratic Clubs which we find in the col bumns of the Anderson Intelligencer, and which reads as follows: ART. 8. That the members of this Club pledge themselves to each other and to the Democratic party to abide by and sustain the nominees of the party for all offices, whether National, State, County or Municipal, and will discountenance every effort on the part of individuals to distract our counsels and divide the vote: upon independent canslidates, whom we I rwill hereafter regard as giving aid and I comfort to-onspolite4 Ponn - j Whoever prepared the draft of the I constitution 'cannot be more anxious Sthan we are for reform; but we cannot Sbut say that the above means recoin -mended is wrong in principle and un wise. We are satisfied its author did not consider the import of the Article. mentioned. Any man would resign his title to be called a freeman to be bound and pledged to do anything that -any man or body of men might pro- I tpose for him to do. It would be the worst kind of slavery if we submitted to such. Party tyranny is the most demoralizing; save us from it, In County and municipal elections espe cially a coafiict would frequently occur between a voter's cons-cience (not his prejudice) and his pledge. Among the inalienable rights of a man prior to SMagna Charta is the right to scratch, It is unwise ; it will keep out conscien tious men who would join, and who would endeavor their best to overcome all prejudice and vote the whole ticket; -but do not want to be driven into certain measures against their judg ment and conscience. We hope no such article will be adopted in any of our Constitutions. One word more. In this impending campaign there may be different opinions as to the prop'er mode of proceeding. Let us disc-ass these matters coolly and deliberately, and let us always consider the.m with a full confidence that our neiglfbor de sires the weal of the Commonwealth as well as we do, and let us speak and act accordingly. COLON. FOR THE HERALD. MR. EDrroR :-I notice thzt "Citi zen," in his brief communication last week in reference to the question of t more light, or rather a lamp on one of the intersecting corners of Friend and Cadwelr streets, says that such a con- I surjmation will "meet with the re sponsive sentiment of those attending divine worship at the evening sei-vice of the Baptist and Lutheran churches." Now, sir, I desire to know if he only wishes visitors to those two churches benefited, and not those who attend the Methodist church, close by. Does he mean to imply that the former love light more than the latter ? Does he] think that only the two churches named are open at night ? If 'Citizen" lives anywhere in the neighborhood he must certainly be able to tell that night service is going on if not by the sound of bell, at least by the basso profundo of one of the main stays of the choir, who sends the vibrations of hisF voice even beyond the limits of the illuminating rays of that lamp which shm,ld be aot the corner. ~ I Official List of Patents Issued by the United States Patent flice, for the week ending Friday, an. 21st, 1876.
