The Herald for 1881.
With this issue of the HE&ALD 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
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 theii
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
fied by our late'Presidential elec
tion. Only a few weeks ago two
great parties were arrayed against
each other; party 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 passion
* 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 ult., the weather
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, andi in North Carolina the
weather was scarcely less severe.
The extreme cold of the 30th was
very gene-al. The following was
the temperature of some localities :
St. Paul, Minn, 18 degrees below1
zero: LaCrosse, Wis., 15 below ;
St. Louis, Mo., 13 below ; North
Platte, Neb., 32 below.

in the cab of the front train ; all of
them were killed except one.
The afternioon 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.

Lauren R. R. Sold.--The Clvde
Company the Purchaser.
The Laurens R. R. was sold at
Columbia Monday, 3d itstant, ir
pursuance of an order in the case1
of James S. Gibbes vs. The Green
ville & Columbia R. R. Co., and
others.
Shortly after the war the road
was thrown into bankruptcy, and
was purchased by the G. & C. R.
R. Company at $65,000, to be paid
for in bonds of the road at 80 cents
on the dollar when the road should
be rebuilt. The amount of $80,
000, necessary to rebuild the road,
was raised by subscription-about
$50,000 in Laurens and $30,000 in
Charleston. Bonds were issued to
the amount of $80,000 for rebuilding
the road and $65,000 for the pur
chase money-making, in round num
bers, $150,000 as the debt of, the
road. A mortgage of the road was
given to secure the bondholders.
The road was advertised to be
sold Sale-day in August last; but
owing to the trouble that arose
about the sale of the G. & C. R. R.,
the sale was postponed.
At the sale Monday the road was
bid off by A. C. Haskell for $30,
000. The real purchaser is the
Clyde Company, the same that
purchased the Greenville & Colum
bia R. R. This company had bough t
up nearly two-thirds of the bonds,
and they will be able to pay two
thirds of the bid in bonds which
cost them only 80 cents on the dol
lar. The road therefore costs the
company about $100,000 or $110,
000.
Those bondholders who held out
and refused to sell their bonds will
get about fifteen cents un the dol
lar.
All that we have lea;ned of the
sale yesterday (Monday) is contain
ed in the following telegram:
CoI.uA, S. C., Jan. 3, 1881.

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
Dec. 29, 1880.
In the absence of Congress we have
during this holiday season several
delegations of Indians, and active pre
parations for the greatest inauguration
ceremonies ever known.
The Indians are of various tribes,
but the delegation which is most. in
teresting to us here, and probably to
people generally, is that of Chiefs of
the Ponea tribe. The means by which
these Indians were reduced from their
own exeellent lands in Dakota, and
put upon inferior lands in an un
healthy portion of the Indian Terr ito
r,are pretty generally known through
newspaper publications and records of
meetings in Massachusetts and New
York. The Indians were cheated.
The Massachu'setts people charged it
to Secretary Schurz, and the Secretary
acknowledged that through lack of
acquaintance with his duties when
first appointed he might have been
responsible. Then Mr. Hayes ap
pointed a commission to inquire into
the whole matter. Then 'the Chiefs
came, and they yesterday signed away
all their rights to. their Dakota birth
right, taking therefor a title to the
death-dealing land they now occupy
and a promise of money.
Representatives of other tribes now
in this city are less modest, or less
under the control of the Secretary.
They make demands far less easily
complied with.
Nothing is more certain than that
the next Secretary of the Interior, if
a business man, and a fair man, will
find very much to undo in what Sec
retary Schurz has done in his treat.
nment of the Indians. It is a pity that
8 man of the breadth of intellect of
Hendricks, or of the full mind and
long Indian experience of Gen. Han
coek, will not have control of the sub
ject for the next four years. There
will be an improvement, however, du
ring that time, for Garfield knows
more of it, as of other matters, than
Hayes, and, besides, will hardly put
an impracticable theorist at the head
of the Department having special
charge of it.
As illustrating the character of Sec
retary Schurz as a high oficeial, I may
relate what was stated and shown to
be true in a cae before the Suprem
Court at its prewer.t term. it iee.
that the Secretary had iusued a pate:
for publie ILr.d, and delivered it to tl
claianut's attorneys, and that the a
tornevs sent it by Jetter to the.: elie
in the West. Af-erwards the Seci
tary thought, or pretended to thi:
the patent improperly issued, and d
een 1d its return. The attori, r
;.ed that it had been sent by ita-i
its ,wuer. The Secretary thereup
induced the Postmaster-General to L
der by telegraph the Postmaster at t
placet of delivery to return it. And
was returned,.without delivery to
owner. to the Secretary of the Interi<
Only by threat of criminal prosecuti
against Secretary Seburz and t
Postmaster-General, and even th
after consultation with the Attorn<
General, were these insolent violeti
of the riahts of citizens iade to retu
the patent to the attorneys. Such,
more than one Department of t
gevernment, is the way in which c
zenq' rights are now disregarded. Cc
tempt for the rights of comio; ai
or ignorance of such rights, has ma
ed the administration of governi
for the last 20 years. I trust the I
decision of tle Supreme Court, tha
Cabinet officer is answerable to t
Courts for his official acts, will hav
good effect. DEM.

How beautifully was this idea illu

who put off attention to their spiritu
and eternal well being, the service

her. Religion with her was not mer

animated with the spirit of the Low

to do her duty as a professed followe

Hence, in her case, although deat
was sudden, and no one was preser
to hear her testiwony to the power<

Issurance of her readioess.to exchang

The deceased was a consistent mem

k of the battle; or that be may not
possibly fall under the power of the
!lt adversary should he mowcnarily for
ite get whence His power is derived, and
a trust in his own strength rather thau
he in the eternal power of God. But tho
habitual mode of life of one professing
a godliness, should not be characterized
by inconsistencies and irregularities in
the ebristian course. In every action
the honor of God should be before our
at eyes-and it should be our concern to
develop a full and symmetrical chris
tian character. This character was.
in a striking degree, evinced by the
deceased. She inwrought her profes
sion in her life. To do good and
honor God was her pleasure. Her
he influence for good was felt in the
church, in her home, and in the so
-s ! ciety in whieb she moved.
e ! She enjoyed the experience of a
1g christian, and loved the holy services
to of religion. This is one of the surest
ow te. q of genuine piety. One way be
tre vei. unctilious in the observance and
ue- outward performances of the exteruals
dy of worship. and witbal the heart may
he not enter into the service. Cold for
an. mality may mar every service, and the
!n. soul remain untonehed by tie spirit
!- of God. But I believe the departed
as fully and freely and earnestly entered
as into the services of God both in public
he and in private. And she enjoyed the
ak, grace of God in no small degree. The
Ia, joy that animated her heart beamed
- forth in her countenance, and told all
w- who met her that she was ikot a stran
ral ger to the happiness that animates
mot every true child of God. N,r was
vi she afraid to speak of our holy reli
tic gion and to recommend it when suit.
i able occasions gave her opportunity.
ier She was always ple:...ed to enter into
iat religious conversation, anid was alive
w, to the interests of the church.
ys .Thus it may be truly said that she
lee exemplified the life of a true christian
he woman. Without any ostentation,
th she did her part-shei believed in Je
a sus and in an experimental acquaint
,u ance with him. She believed in the
er, witness of the spirit, and doubtless
a enjoyed its testimony that she was a
or child of God-au heir of heaven-a
rer redeemed and regenerated sinner.
or whose title to an inheritance in heaven
is was secured by faith in the Son of
all God. Such a bleesed experience we
hl. may all covet-and such we may all
lie enjoy if we, with true hearts, seek it,
t: through faith in our Lord Jesus
Christ. And if we have this experi
~ly once, it will manifest itself. True

ed upon a bill.' 'Neither do mecn light a
:h. candle, and put it under a bushel. but
x. on a candlestiek: and it giveth light
ls unto all that are in the house.'
in In her domestic relations as wife
re and mother the samie spirit animated
ns her. As in the sanctuary so in her
en home-circle her religious convictions
controlled her ; and there she was a
es living epistle of the holy influences
n.which governed her life and moulded
an her actions as she moved among theas
it. from day to day. To what extent
t.y that holy influence has been stamped
e upon the members of her household,
ly eternity alone will reveal. And now
r,that God bath taken her to the realms
t>- of glory, I trust her holy influence
c may continue in the midst of her be
er reaved ones, and that kind admoni
e) tions thus far apparently fruitless, may
Le still linger as seed sown in good ground,
te that may yet spring up, and bring
or forth much fruit to the glory of God.
o. I trust her earnest pleadings where
in none but God could hear, thus far,
e- perhaps, apparently without answer, I
as may yet break in blessings upon thoso
n- for whom she interceded at the altar
r- of prayer.

r- consecrate your hearts with all earn- lI
estuess to her God, and suffer Him to
s. rule in you as He did in her, to the

rs As a friend and neighbor she was r
il always kind and obliging, and readyi

h ingness to minister unto others were t
t. in marked contrast with many who t

e and kindness were most needed. h l
She was self-sacrificing for the goodI
aof others. Even where duty could j C

Viewine her life then from these

:onclude that religion was not merely

Everybody reads Tu SUN. Inthe edition
of this paper throughout the year to corn
everybody will find:
I. All the world's news, so presented tha
the readler will get the grcatest amount c
information with the least unprofitable ex
penditure of time and eyesight. THE bU,
long ago discovered the golden mean be
tween redundant ulnes and unsatisfactor:
brevity.
II. Much of that sort of news which de
pends less upon its recognized imnportan~c
than upon its interest of mankind. Fron
mooning to morning THE |SUN prints a con
tinued story of the lives of real men and
women, and of their deeds, plans, loves
hates, and troubles. This story is mori
varied and more interesting than any rc
manice that was ever devi,.ed.
II1. Good writing in every column, an<
freshness, originality, accuracy. andl dece
rum in the treatment of every subject.
IV. Honest comment. THE SUN'S habit t
to speak Out featlessly about men an<
V.Eulcandor in dealing with each pe
litical party, and equal readiness to comx
mend what is praiseworthy or to rebuk'
what is blamable in Democrat or Repuibli
can.
Vi. Absolute independence of partisat
organizations, but unwavering loyalty t<
true Democratic 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 utmos
power the efforts of men in the Republica
party to set up another form of govern
ment in place or that which exists. Th<
year 1881i and the years immediately fol
lowing willfprobably decide this supremel:
important contest. THE SUN believes tha
the victory will be with the people a
against the Rings for monopoly, the Ringi
for plunder, and the Rings for Imperial pow
er.
