The Herald for 1881. With this issue of the H AD we begin a new volume, and we are pleased to say with an increased subscription list. With but few exceptions we continue to carry the names of our old subscribers and a I goodly number of new ones, and we hope ere the close of another volume to add considerably to this list. With this view we ask our readers to assist us by asking their friends and neighbors who may not be subscribers to give us their names. Very much can be done in this way, and our readers will reap the benefit in an improved paper, for the larger the list of subscribers the better the publisher can add- to its interest and appearance. With thanks for the past and renewed hope for the future, we wish the reader a happy new year and the compliments of the season. 1881. A new year has begun. The year that has just closed was a very eventful one to the whole people of this country. We will not stop to recount matters that are still so fresh in the minds of all. One thing, however, deserves mention : it is the grand stability and repose of popular government as exempli fled by our late'Presidential elec tion. Only a few weeks ago two great parties were arrayed against each other ; pr..rty feeling ran high; the country was threatened with all sorts of direful disasters by the politicians of the one side and of the other ; and yet as soon as the popular will was expressed and known the waves of party passion1 and strife subsided, and all things moved on as quietly and as con tentedly as if nothing unusual had happened. For the year 1881;there will .be nothing to cause political excite ment. The prospects for the year are flattering, from many points of view. The Cold Wave. Since the 25th uIt., the weathe'r has been severe over nearly the whole country. In New York and along the sea coasts of the Eastern and New England States terrible storms of wind and snow prevailed the 25th and 26th, accompanied with intense cold. There were three snow storms mn Virginia last week, and in North Carolina the weather was scarcely less severe. The extreme cold of the 30th was ~ generaL. The following was the temperature of some localities : St. Paul, Minn., 18 degrees below zero: LaCrosse, Wis., 15 below ; St. Louis, Mo., 13 below ; North Platte, Neb., 32 below. R. R. Accidents. One freight train ran into ano ther on the Air Line Road, nine miles from Charlotte, N. C., the 27th. There were six passengers in the cab of the front train ; all of them were killed except one. The afternoon of Dec. 24th a pas senger and a freight train collided on the Air Line Road ten miles from Atlanta. The passenger train was going at the rate of 40 miles an hour ; the freight at 8. The en gineer and fireman of the freight engine jumped off and saved them . selves ; but engineer Peter Keys, of the passenger, and his colored fireman, were killed.

It. Sold---The Clfdi Company the Purehaser. The Laurens R. R. was sold a Columbia Monday, 3d itstant, ii pursuance of an order in the casi of James S. Gibbes vs. The Green ville & Columbia R. R. Co., an< others. Shortly after the war the roa was thrown into bankruptcy, an< was purchased by the G. & C. [ R. Company at $65,000, to be pai, for in bonds of the road at 80 cent on the dollar when the road shoul, be rebuilt. The amount of $80 000, necessary to rebuild the roac was raised by subscription-abo u $50,000 in Laurens and $30,000 i Charleston. Bonds were issued t the amount of $80,000 for rebuildin the road and $65,000 for the pui chase money-making, in round nun bers, $150,000 as the debt of, th road. A mortgage of the road wo given to secure the bondholders. The road was advertised to 1 sold Sale-day in August last ; bt owing to the trouble that aroE about the sale of the G. & C. R. R the sale was postponed. At the sale Monday the road wE bid off by A. C. Haskell for $3C 000. The real purchaser is ti Clyde Company, the same thf purchased the Greenville & Colun bia R. R. This company had bougi up nearly two-thirds of the bond and they will be able to pay twi thirds of the bid in bonds whic cost them only 80 cents on the do lar. The road therefore costs ti company about $100,000 or $11C 000. Those bondholders who held or and refused to sell their bonds wi get about fifteen cents on the do lar. All that we have learned of ti sale yesterday (Monday) is contai: ed in the following telegram: CoLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 3, 1881. To W. H. WLLAcE : Laurens road sold for thir! thousand dollars.

WAsHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 29, 1880. In the absence of Congress we has during this holiday season severa delegations of Indians, and active pr< parations for the greatest inaug~uratio ceremonies ever known. The Indians are of various tribe: but the delegation which is most, ii teresting to us here, and probably t people generally, is that of Chiefs < the Ponca tribe. The means by whic these Indians were reduced from thei own exeellent lands in Dakota, an put upon inferior lands in an ut healthy portion of the Indian Terr itt ry, are pretty generally known throug newspaper publications and records c meetings in Massachusetts and Nea York. The Indians were cheated The Massachnisetts people chargedi to Secretary Schurz, and the Secretar acknowledged that through lack a acquaintance with his duties whe first appointed he might have beel responsible. Then Mr. Hayes ap pointed a commission to inquire int the whole matter. Then 'the Chief came, and they yesterday signed awa: all their rights to. their Dakota birth right, taking therefor a title to th, death-dealing land they now occup; and a promise of money. Representatives of other tribes nov in this city are less modest, or les: under the control of the Secretary They make demands far less easil' complied with. Nothing is more certain than tha the next Secretary of the Interior, i a business man, and a fair man, wil find very much to undo in what Sec retary Schurz has done in his treat ment of the Indians. It is a pity tha a man of the breadth of intellect o Hendricks, or of the full mind an< long Indian Experience of Gen. Han eoek, will not have control of the sub ject for the next four years. Ther< will be an improvement, however, du ring that time, for Garfield knows more of it, as of other matters, that EIayes, and, besides, will hardly pul tnipatcbeters tteha Court at its prew-.t term. it .eeu:s 1 that the Secretary had issued & patent b for plieJ2 1m, and deivered. it to) the claiuiaat's atto"rneys, and thst the at t:rnevs sent it by h-tter to their client in the West. Af.erwards the Secre ta_ry thought, or pretended to thi:k the patent improperly issued, and de m-- dl its return. The attorm' r .ied that it had been sent by n1nii :o - its owiier. The Secretary thereupon indueed the Postmaster-General to or 6 der by telegraph the Post waster at the i piace of delivery to return it And it vwas returued, without delivery to its I owner. to the Secretary of the Interior. t Only by threat of criwinal prosecution a against Secretary Sehurz and the 0 }'ostnaster-General, and even then after consultation with the Attornev - General, were these insolent, violators - of the rights of citizens made to return e the patent to the attorneys. Such, in s more than one Department of the gevernment, is the way in which citi e zenc' rights are now disregarded. Con t tempt for the rights of common men, e or ignorance of such rights, has mark ed the administration of governmeint for the last 20 years. I trust the late s decision of the Supreme Court, that a ,- Cabinet officer is answerable to the e Courts for his official acts, will have a t good effect. DEM. t FUNERAL SERMON Delivered by the Rev. J. D. Shirey, at Beth Eden Church, Sunday, Dec 26th, 1880, on tne Death of Mrs. L Elizabeth A. Sligh. The Blessed Dead. ,e ReY. 14 : 13.-"Blessed (re the dead Widch die in the Lord." it How uncertain are human affairs 11 Yea, how uncertain is human life 1- Men just ready to start on a long journey have suddenly been called to pass through the valley and shadow e of death. From marriage rites we are 1- sometimes summoned to att,end fune ral solemnities. Frow the giddy dance and the wildest revelries, the devotees of pleasure have been sudden ly checked by the uvexpected c:'esscn Y ger of death. Man, just ready to en L ter a new dwelling upon which he has bestowed much treasure and toil, has been called to the silent house of the dead. A pastor. sitting at his desk. preparivg anmessage for his people, appopiat t th tmeof Advet Sthe Church's festive season-is sum 8 mnend to make ready for a funeral n sermon. A family, in the enjoyment d of its accustomed blessings and privi leges, and busy about its domestic Saffairs, is ruddenly shocked by the an nouneewent that the wife and mother is dead Thus are we reminded that -e 'Our days o*n the earth are asa shadow, p. and there is none abiding.' 'My days are swifter than a post: they flee away.' 'They are passed a way as the Sswift ships: as the eagle that hasteth I to the prey.' 'Man that is bora of a r-woman is of few days and full of trou ble. He cometh ferth like a flower, and is cut down :he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not ' 'As for man, his days are as grass :as a flower of the field, so be flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.' 'The giass with e ereth, the flower fadeth: because the dspirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.' S Such are the teachings of the HoJly 0 Scriptures, and these solemn truthe are confirmeid by our own observation. Whilst death is certain, and appointed unto every man, it is frequently with out w!$ninrg. and when it is least ex 0 pected. Mati also knoweth not bis f time: as the fishes that are taken in ian evil net, and as the birds that are r caught in the snare ; so arc the sons of wen snared in an evil time, when it f-aleth suddenly up'n them.' And what important lesson does -this certainty of death, and aucertain Sty of life teach us ? Whbilst every man Sshould be actuated by a deep and set. tied principle of moral responsibility, rto God-whilst every wan should serve -God from a sense of duty and holy t obligation to his Maker and Redeawer, ,and not from a sense of fcar--the ab solute uncertainty of life, (and hene the absolute uncertainty of the further 2extension of our probationary state) 1 should impress upon every soul the I -absolute importance of an immediate Spreparation and constant readiness for death. If we know not at what wo-] meat the Master way call us to an aceount of our stewardship, it be -hooves us to be in a state of readiness Sand watehfulness that we be not un-f Sprepared-yea, that we be not over. wih.hmnd wit.h amazement and fe-r when we are sum mo.rd into His an-< gust and holy presenice. With the imeans of grae-e, :md the proffers oft .salvation soundi~g in his ears, no manC can justify himself in a state of spirit ual uncertainty. In the plenitude of His mercy and grace. (God gives us I this life that we may hiy hold on eter Fnal life-yea, that w ay lay hold of IJesus Christ by faith, -and thus appro. ~ priate to ourselves that salvation which I He purchas-d for us with His suffer- C ings, death and resurrection. How beautifully was this idea illus- r trated in the life of our dear departed g sister. Unlike multitudes of others who put off attention to their spiritual ~ and eternal well being, the service of t God was a matter of duty-a thing of. rliyacncetoswr wih1 hrality-aconsciettious ws okmere- I he r.oReligion-it nae. was 1 e yaniae wrfsih- theame.i ofhe Lord|t Jesusmaed coithtsiiof theord a toedouhe adut aosientiofsedeavoowr to of her duty ad lowlyofessd fclwe a nok and lowlv Jesam . e >ious life bearin witness that she u( was a child of God-that she was of iritually united to Christ-and that sith her -Christ was all, and in all.' st ;he was doub:less ready for the sum- pi nuns though it was so unexpected. 1P Judging fro. her wanner of life, and N :he real joy that our holy religion d Aflorded her, we may well believe that a; ner spirit is now among the blessed ; p; ind that relieved from the cares and it :oils of this sin-cursed earth, she is w now among the spirits of the just t, uiade perfect, before the throne of c God, and with the boly angels. join- o ing, it may be, in that glad chorus, C Wrhich our chastened hearts almost refuse to utter on this occasion, say- -] ing. 'Glory be to God on high, and on C earth peace. good will t.o men.' t The deceased was a cousiF:rt iem- fl ber of the church. And when this t can truly be said of any one, it is in deed saving much in his or her favor. s Of how many of us could this be c tiuly said? How inconsistent is the a action-the life-the dep,;rtment-uf p many members of the church with d their profession of faith in Jesus and a fidelity to His holy cause. I do not d mean that a good man way not som,e- t times waver for a moment i: the heat of the battle ; or thnt he may not I possibly fall under the power of the p advcrsary should he momentarily for a get whence His power is derived. and v trust in his own strength rather than a in the eternal power of God. But the E habitual mode of life of one professing godliness, should not be characterized 1 by inconsistencies and irregularities in a the ehristian course. In every action c the honor of God should be before our a eyes-and it should be our concern to t develop a full and symmetrical chris- s tian character. This character was. Q in a striking degree, evinced by the deceased. She inwrought her profes I sion in her life. To do good and honor God was her pleasure. Her c influence for good was felt in the c church, in ber home, and in the so- c ciety in which she moved. c She enjoyed the experience of a t christian, and loved the holy services of religion. This is one of the surest I f tests of genuine piety. One may be r very punctilious in the observance and c outward ptrforn,ances of the exteraals i of worship. and withal the heart may I not enter into the service. Cold for- s inality may mar every service, and the soul remain untouched by the spirit - of God. But I believe the departed ( fully and freely and earnetly entered j into the services of God both in public j anid in private. And she enjoyed the t grace of God in no small degree. The ' joy that animated her heart beamed a forth in her countenance, and told all a who met her that she was got a stran- ( ger to the happiness that animatese every true child of God. N.r was she afraid to speak of our holy reli- t. gion and to recommend it when suit able occasions gave her opportuziity. e She was always pleased to enter into e reigious conversation, and was alive - to the interests of the church.i Thus it may be truly said that she' exemplified the life of a true christiant woman. Without any osteutation, u she did her part-she believed in Je- a sus and in an experimental acquaint- c anee with him. She believed in the 4. witness of the spirit, and doubtless v enjoyed its testimony that she was a a child of God-au heir of heaven-a redeemed and regenerated sinner, d whose title to an inheritance in heaven t was secured by faith in the Son of i: God. Such a bleesed experience we a may all covet-and such we may all t enjoy if we, with true hearts, seek it, through faith in our Lord Jesus b Christ. And if we have this experi- o ence, it will manifest itself. True j consecratiou to God-and a godly life p~ -can no wore bei hid than a 'city set a upon a hill.' 'Neither do men light a p eadle, and put it under a bushel. but 'I on a candlestiek: and it givet h light a auto all that are in the house.' n In her domestic relations as wife h and mother the same spirit animated bi hr. As in the sanctuary so in her ti bome-circle her religious convictikns f :otrolled her ; and there she was a a living epistle of the holy influences a which governed her life and nmoulded a ber actions as she moved among thew a~ rom day to day. To what extent p hat holy influence has been stamped n ipon the members of her household, '] ternity alone will reveal. And now I bat God hath taken her to the realms >f glory, I trust her holy influence a ay continue in the midst of her be- U eaed ones, and that kind admoni- h ions thus fur apparently fruitless, may tI ~till linger as seed sown in good ground. (2 hat may yet spring up, and bring a: orth much fruit to the glory of God. ei trust her earnest pleadings where w one but God could hear, thus far, b; >erhaps, apparently without answer, st nay yet break in blessings upon thoso b] bor whomn she interceded at the altar ol >f prayer. t Bereaved ones-husband, sons an.d 01 laughters-you have a rich heritage w uthe godly life-the pious convxersa- a io-an:d the earnest prayers of your gp ear departed wife and mother.

In this day of sdlfishness,.t er genuine kindness and ready will- l :>gness to minister unto others wre th marked contrast with many who us ok only on their own things. o to e sick she was kind and attentive , nistering with gentle hands and su d words to their necessities and L ~nfort, forgetting her own.

That she was rfect it would be folly to assert. i rf'ection is not oundu here below ot till we pass the dark shadow of oth shall we behold perfection in iy one. But such is the living ver of our holy religion. that where ..:light in the s,ul. and the hole bei g is brought into subjection the will of God, the result wil; he a I lristia: character, conformed, more 1 less, to the example of Jesus hrist, who -went about doing good.: ;d an inspired apostle has siid. orem religion and undefiled before ud a-d the Father is t;is, To visit e fatherless and widows in their af. ictions, and to keep himself unspot d from the world.' Viewing her life then from these veral points of observation. we must jnclude that religion was not merely name with her. It was a living ower and reality, controlling her con uct and bringing her religious char eter into symmetrical and beautiful cvelopme)'t in the practice of chris :.1n virtues But with her, life's labor ie done. n this house of God, which she was leased to visit whenever she could, nl joiu with us in our devotions, she rill meet us no more. in the sanctu. ry, in the family circle, in the com iunity, she will be sadly missed. ud she will be m)issed. oh how much y her pastor ! How cheering it is to a ambassador of Christ, to meet and onverse with one who loves Jesus, nd who loves to talk of matters per-. Aining to the spiritual welfare of ouls. But how few in our midst are riling to engage in such conversation. Lod it really teems that God is t;hing is most devoted ones to himself. But whilst we deplore our loss, and ur hearts are full of sadness,, there omes a voice to us to-day, from God's wo inspired Book which is full of omfort to every sad heart which rusts in Jesus. 'Blessed are the dead rhich die in the Lord.' Iow tbank ul should we be for this blessed as urauce ! And how happy should it sake us in this sore bereavement that Te have such good evidence of 'a life id with Christ in God.' What eon olation it affords us when we have -ood hope th'at when our loved ones re taken from us they are blessed in 'hrist Jesus. blessed in heaven, and yful forever, with saints and angels, rophets and apostles. patriarchs and aartyrs, in the kingdom of God! his is the victory of all who turn wyfromi the world, with its pomp ashow, and trust wholly in Jesus Thrist for righteousness, and sanctifi ation and salvation. It is a b.lessed thought that God ever leaves IIis children when they iost need His help. Then lie stick th closer than a brother. When the britiani most needs the help of God -when all other help fails-then He Spresent to comfort and sustain. \lan's cxtremity is God's opportuni .' So then it matters little where r how the christian dies. If lie dies lone, so far as the presence of man is oncerned, yet is lie not alone, for od is with him. And if God be ith and for us, who can prevail gainst us? When the body of the christian ies. the soul emerges;from a world of >l and sorrow. Here the christian constantly encompassed with sin nd its evil consequences. But when eso trials are all passed, the rewards f the eternal world begin. And to e released from all the consequences f sin, and to be brought into the en >yment of the eternal kingdom, pre arel for the peop,le of God, is such blessing that we are unable to cow rehend it whilst we are in the flesh.

In the editions of this paper throughout the year to come everybody wili find: I. All the world's news, so presented that the reader will get the greatest amount of information with the least unprofitab!e ex penditure of time and eyesight. THE 5UN long ago diseovered the golden mean be tween redundant tulness and unsatisfactor Sbrevity. II. Much of that sort of ncws which de pends less upon its recognizedl imnportance than upon its interest of mankind. From m~orning to morning THE SUN prints a con tinued story of the lives of real men and womenI, and of their deeds, plans, loves, hates, and troubles. This story is more varied and mo)re interesting than any ro man~1ce that was ever devised. 11L. Good witing in every column. and freshness, originality, accuracy, and deco rum in the treatment of every subject. IV. Honest commflent. Tus SUN'S habit is to speak out fearlessly about men and things. V. Equal candor in dealing with each po litical party, and equal readiness to com mend what is praiseworthy or to rebuke what is blamable in Demiocratt or Republi can. VL. Absolute independence of partisan organizations, but unwavering loyalty to true D)emocratic principles. THE SUN be lieves that the Governmenit which the Con stitution gives us is a good one to keep. Its notion of duty is to resist to its utmost power* the efforts of men in the Republican p)arty to set up another form of govern ment in place of' that which exists. The year 1881 an.i the years immediately fol lowing will{robably decide this supremely important contest. THE SUN believes that the victory will be with the people as against the Rings for monopoly, the Rings for plundler, and the Rings for Imperial pow er.
