A representative of the HER.LD had an interview with Gen. Stolbrand s few days ago in reference to his expec tations as an applicant for Col. Aiken'E seat in Congress, when the following conversation took place: R. of H.-Well, General, you seem to be getting on swimmingly, and hav ing it all your own way now. Gen. S.-Yes, I am making ver3 good headway; hut am not doing m3 work as I would like, on account of th shortness of the time left me. (He ha only about 18 days more.) R. of H.-Do. you really have ani expectations of getting into Congress Gen. S.-Expectations! I am sure t4 get in; I'll defeat your man Aiken sure. R. of H.-Do you base your expecta tions upon a partisan House and a re publican majority? Gen. S.-No, I base them on the showing that I expect to make by ma contest. R. of H.-You don't seem to hav made much of "a showing" so far; yoi oxamined only two witresses in Rich land County, and only a few here-ani your forty days are coming to a clos< soon. Gcn. S.-0, yes, but I. am only taking evidence now on which to base an ,ap plication to Congress for further time When Congress meets I shall go before that body and ask to be allowed a fur ther investigation. I have no doub my request will be granted. Then] will return to the District and take th4 affidavit of every man that voted fo me, and in this way show conclusive!: that I got a majority of the votes cast R. of H.-You started that plin ir Columbia, General; why did you aban don it? Gen. S.-Well, I found I would no have time to complete it. R. of H.-Wouldn' t such a proceed ing as that be ex parte, and therefor< objectionable as evidence? Gen. S.-No, I think not ; the othe: side could be present if it desire< and take part in the investigation There is a precedent for it; it was dont in Chicago in 1854, and I have n< doubt it can be done in -ny case. R. of H.-Well, General, you didn' stay at Laurens long. (He went u] Wednesday night, and came back Fri day morning.) Gen. S.-No, I didn't examine an: witnesses up there. I examined th, census returns in the Clerk's office.t< ascertain the number of votes in thi county-and I got hold of some othe important information, but I can't te: you what it is-you are en the othe side.

JB.CA BELL, Chaira. ri Memory of Ma* James K4. Baxter. The members of the Newberry Bar met a the Court House during recess Friday, 8th, to take some appropriate action upon be death of Maj. James M. Baxter. Maj. . J. Jones was called to tLe Chair, and [r. James L. Blease was requested to act s Secretary. On motion of Col. G. H. aber, the Chair appointed a committee of bree, consisting of Messrs. Suber, Pope nd Caldwell, to prepare suitable reselu ons expresbive of the sentiments of the ar. The committee presented the follow ig resolutions, which were unanimously dopted: Inasmuch as it has pleased the Allwise .uler of the Universe to remove from mongst us our comrade and friend James 1. Baxter; and because under the privi -ge based upon the holy declaration that 3e acts of a useful man survive him, it is weet for us to express our appreciation of is acknowledged worth, and announce the verity of our loss; Therefore, be it re Dlved, 1st. That in the death of James M. Bax ar this Bar has been deprived of the fel )wship and co-operation of a most able nd accomplished advocate and jurist, in e full tide of his power and usefulness. 2nd. That we have to mourn in his aud ep death the sundering of a friendship rown by the association of years and knit ld day by day in ties more close and en uring. 3d. That the people of this State and his County have lost in him a faithful pa riot, a public-spirited citizen, and a man f large social and moral influence. 4th. That while we humbly submit W ae decree of the Omnipotent Providence, rich has called him hence, we deplore ith inexpressible sorrow this most grier ws dispensation. 5th. That we tender to the grief.stricken imily of our deceased brother our heartfelt ympathy in this their irreparable bereave ient. 6th. That a copy of these resolutions be ansmitted to the family of the dece-sed ; at they be published in each of the news apers at Newberry Court House; that bey also be presented by the Chairman of his meeting to his Honor the Presiding udge at the present term of the Circuit ;ourt, in open Cotut, with the request that hey may be entered, with such further no ice as his Honor may deem proper, upon he minutes of the Court. Just before the adjournment-of Court laturday Maj. Jones arose and presented he resolutions. In presenting them he aade the following remarks: May it please your Honor: I hold in my iand a preamble and resolutions adopted at , meeting of the members of the Newberry ar in commemoration of the death of our riend and brother Maj. James M. Baxter. ks Chairman of that meeting, and as the >ldest member of this Bar, I am charged rith the melancholy duty of presenting hem to your Honor, with the request that hey be spread upon the minutes of the ;ourt. Before I present them it is proper hat I should say a few words. It is always a sad event to see one of our laily companions and associates sink into he grave, even when weighed down with ,he infirmities of age, and- emaciated by vasting disease; but our grief and our sor -ow is much more stirred within us, and >ur feelings more intensified, when one of ur friends is suddenly stricken down by he hand of death while in the prime o: ifs and in the full vigor of both physica tnd mental powers. Our friend and bro her, Maj. James M. Baxter, whilst in the eridian of life and the enjoyment of hii isual good health, and with bright pros >ects before him for a long, prosperous sac 2seful life, has been stricken down by d.seast td, almost without any warning to himsel >r his friends of his near approaching end ia sunk into the silent grave, to be seen by is no more on earth ; no more to participati with us in the struggles of this forum ; n<4 sore shall we be edified by his cogent ar guments; no more shall we hear his elo :uent voice pleading in this Court for the rights of his clients. - Though he has pase tway from before us we will ever cherisi rd keep in remembrance his noble trait rf heart and character. His death is great loss to this Bar, where his masculint intellect and discriminating mind, and de votion to the true interests of his clients gave him great prominence. His mind Wa too broad and comprehensive to be tram meled with forms and techrLicalities, bu easily mastered the strong points of hi eases, and seized and applied with a master ly hand the broad p~rinciples of Law ani Equity upon which our judicial systemi founded, and which embodies the unite< wisdom a-2d experience of ages. It wa his comprehension of and devotion to prin ciples that gave him great power befor the jury -and compelled a respectful atten tion from the Judge to what he said. A your Honor well knows, the contests of thi forum are often exciting and worrying, an it is sometimes difficult for the best of us avoid.saying and doing things, under th excitement of the moment, which shoul not have been said and done ; but it is notable characteristic of the members c the Bar not to let these things mar thei friendships. No man was more ready ta forgive and forget things sali -and don under such circumstances; no man wa more ready to atone for things said an done by him under such circumstance than our friend and brother. His fault (and who of us have not our faults ?) wer faults of the head and not of the heart. Hi impulses were of a high and noble charac tr. He knew it was human to err, an hence he was always ready to forgive an forget. In the expressive language of at other, "He was a man of large heart an head ; kind and courteous to all; a mo: pleasant and entertaining companion, an a true and steadfast friend. Those wh knew him best admired and loved hit most." In all the relations of life he we fully tip to his duty. He was a kind an provident husband-an affectionate an tender parent-a 4:eadfast, devoted frien -a patriotic citizen, alive to all the bet interests of his State and country-a sit ere, conscientious Christian. It is therm fore fitting that we, his companions at thi Bar, should perpetuate and transmitt those who may come after us our high al preciatiomn of his master mind, and his hig moral, social and religions character, b spreading upon the minutes of this Ccn the preamble and resolutions which I no present for that purpose. The resolutions were seconded by Cc Suber, who spoke as follows: In rising I second the resolutions it is prope'r for n to say that my relations with the deceam while he lived were of a character so cio: ar d initimate s to make it, bccoming in a to say. a womd at .astin tribute tolb memory now that he is no more. My ac quaintance with him had its commence ment long years ago when we both arrived at this place on the same day, to enter upon the study of the law as our chosen profession-he coming from his native Dis trict, Laurens, where he was reared and where he received the rudiments of his education. I had not known him before we met on this occasion, with this common purpose in view. From that day dates our our acquaintance, which soov ripened into ties of closest friendship. He has been my daily companion, my unfaltering friend ever since ; and I fail to recall a single circum stance that ever occurred, in all that period, to mar the harmony of our intercourse never an unkind word having.passed be tween us. In view of all this I should be recreant to the better feelings of my na ture if I should permit this occasion to pass without offering to his memory the homage of my affection. I do not propose in what I shall say to intrude upon the sacred pri vacy of those upon whom this dispensation falls most heavily by indulging in words of condolence. They have my heartfelt sym pathy in this their "sorrow's crown of sor row"; but He alone who inflicted the wound can heal it. "He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" will take them under His protecting care. Maj. Baxter was gifted with rare i tellec tual powers-endowed with faculties which eminently fitted him for the profession which he adorned so highly. He was not what might be called a popular speaker, abounding in the graces of oratory and possessing the power to sway the thronging multitude. He seldom attempted flights of fancy, but always spoke in languago un adorned, but pure and chaste. His style of speaking was logical and argumentative, never failing to impress upon those who heard him the conviction of his own ear nestness in the cause he advocated. His perceptions were clear and exact, and his reflective faculties acute and vigorous. As a lawyer he was earnest and zealous in whatever business was committed to, his charge, and exhibited a devotion to his an profession and untiring industry in the cause of hisclients such as is rarely equalled. He was thoroughly grounded in the ele mentary principles of the law, and when ever in the preparation of his cases he had occasion to investigate a legal principle be always resorted to the-fountains of.the law for his information, instead of relying upon the reports of recently decided cases. He believed that "the reason of the law was the life of the law," and he searched for it in the writings of the sages of the law. He was no "case lawyer"; but rather depended upon his own native intellect qnd strong -reasoning faculties. to guide him in the argument of his cases. A formidable -ad versary at the Bar under any circuistances, but most dangerous when his case appeared to be most hopeless;-he- gathered new strength and rose to the emergency as his case trembled in the-balance. He knew no such word as fail. But he is gone from amongst ps, never to return. No more shall we hear fits voice; no more shall we see his genial face in this forum. Life's fitful fever is o'er, he sleeps well. Death is terrible under all circumstances -whether it knocks at the door ot the rich man's palace or the poor man's hovel whether it comes in the sunlight of day or in the darkness of the night-whether it comes as a swi't messenger snapping the thread of life by a single stroke, or by the slow gradations of consuming diseaa. When it selects as its victim a man who has lived out his allotted time it is an event which creates no surprise and makes but little impression ; but when it comes with out warning of its approach and strikes dowu one in the full vigor of manhood, surrounded by all the endearments of do mestic life, and with bright prospects before him, it is doubly appalling. The afflictive dispensation which has taken away from us our friend and brother should remind us "what shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue," and serve as a useful lesson to admonish us to be pre pared when the dread summons shall call for us, as it surely will. Mr. George Johnstone said I rise for one moment to lay a garland on the grave of our deceased comrade. This much is due to him with whom I began the study of law, and from whom I have de rived more ir.formation than from any one else. This is due to one who possessed more ability than, was necessar:y to raise him to any position in his profession to which he might have aspired. His social life was as striking and as brilliant as his professional life. That part of his character which sppeared to me the most loveable and the most admirable manifested itself in social intercourse. There were few men to whom the pleasures of social life were dearer, and few who contributed more to the pleasure of others. He has left us a legacy we cannot forget, an-l has pointed out to us a career that we should diligently follow. His life was withiout malice and enmity, and in his death be has left neither malice nor enmity. Mr. Silas Johnstone said : SI would add a few words to testify my high regard,for our deceased brother. More than thirty years sgo I met him for the first time; and I was struck with his won* derful conversational powers. Alfter his admission to the Bar he soon gained a practice alongside of the best lawyers of theday ; and for the last fifteen years he has been the m..st eminent member of the Bar of his Circuit. As one who was for years Shis partner, I might be permitted to speak 'of him as a counselor in his office. He was a safe lawyer ; being well grounded in the principles of the law lhe came at once to his conclusions. He was not eloq)yent in the usual meaning of the term ; but he was Slogical, clear and forcible. Be knew his case and the principles that governed it. He possessed in an eminent degree one Sother quality, without which no man can 0ever become a great lawyer-a love of jus. Stice. He was a man of too much brains band heart to take a back seat in any com pany. His life was a most useful one. Wherever we turn we miss him, and will miss him at all times. In thinking of bim now I recall the lines of a poem that he se .often repeated : "The leafless tree, when spring shall come, May feel its warm reviving power, .And put forth many a lovely bloom, dWhen moistened hj, its genial shower; But sun nor shower cant e'er restore The friends whom now,we8 see no more; And birds may slug, and zephyrs blow, Mr. Simkins said: There is one aspect of the character of Maj. Baxter that impressed itself deeply upon my mind, and that I now recall with grateful feelinge: it was his universal consideration and kindness to wards' the young men of the profession and tow>rds all young iten. He took a deep and abiding interest in their welfare, and was always ready to extend to them. kind advice and assistance. Judge Hudson said: Your deceased bro ther, while not known to me as intimatelj as to you, was amongst my most valued acquaintances. I first met him in Columbia in the Court of Appeals just after the 'war, where I was associated with him in ai. i'n portant case. I was impressed then by his open, frank manner, and the courtesy and courage that he displayed in the manage ment of his cases. He impreissed me as a strong man, and as possessing to an unusual degree that high 'quality of which the Mas ter has spoken, without which no man can become a great lawyer-the love of justice. Since that tinie I have met him frequently at Columbia and elsewhere. I have been with him often at the Bar and in the social circle, and never without being both pleased and instructed by him. He was full of use ful information outside of his profession. He thoroughly loved his profession. In preparing to argue cases before the Su preme Court I would always consult him whenever the opportunity ofiered, because I appreciated and valued his knowledge of the principles of the law, and I never con sulted him without profit. Not long ago I met Mai. Baxter in Columbia, and the thought passed over me then that this man is destined to a long life of usefulness; he was the picture of health, vigor and anima tion. I then thought that of all those who had made a reputation at their profession Maj. Baxter would be one to enjoy a green old age. It becomes us to profit by this dispensation of Providence, and to learn lessons of usefulness from the life of our deceased friend. He fought the battle of life courageously, and achieved success. The occasion is a sad one; I can add no thiag more, except to endorse the resolu tions. Let them be spread upon the min utes of the Court, and let the Court stand adjourned. The Sunday Magazine for March. ~ This number is one of remarkable ex cellence, and the new editor, Rev. Mr. Taylor, has catered most successfully for the edification and entertainment of his readers. There is, as he remarks, "something for everybody, of whatso ever class, or of whatever age. Bible students, and sermon readers, and temperance reformers and lovers of stories will all find in this issue some thing to suit them and to help them pass the time pleasantly and profitably. Among the distinguished contributors are the Revs. J. M. Whiton, R. C. Houghton, W. T. Wylie, T. R. Vail, Bishop of Kansas; C. F. Deems, David Swing, H. Bonar, Bishop Peck, etc.; Alfred Guernsey,. Hattie W. Arnold, Mrs. J. G. Burnett, Josephine Pollard, Frank H. Converse, Louise C. Moulten, etc. The opening article by the editor "Our Home Heathen," is highly interest, ing, and equally so is "Scenes on the Danube," by A. Guernsey; both are finely illustrated. The serial story, "Out of the World," is continued, and the several short stories, sket.ches, etc. are replete with interest and wel written. The numerous poems are o singular merit. Dr. Deems explaini "Hard Places in the Bible": the ser mon is by Rey C. N. Sims, on the 'Su pernatural Success of Christianity.' But it is impossible to convey in brief notice any idea of the. rich literar2 and artistie feast prepared by the edi tor. There are 128 quarto pages and over 100 engravings. A single copy is only 2,5 cents; a year's subscription, $3; postpaid. Address, Frank Leslie'i Publishing House, 53, 55 and 57 Parli Place, New York.

The Fashion Plates are supert and natural in color. *The complett novel by Robt. C. Meyers, entitled "St. Murphy's Organ," is well told, and will keep the reader's interest foral chapter IL, to the end. There is also good variety of choice short stories poems, and sketches; a valuable chap ter on Frugal Art, full of good. sensible directions that anybody can follow; thb usual full array in the Work and Fashion Departments, of useful? hints directions, and reviews; an array o Recipes that make hungry mouths water, and amusements, puzzles, ani games that will 'make the childrer jubilant and happy; a drawing an plan of a picturesque suburban villa and the genial Old Arm-Chair.

A bill prohibiting the manufactur< and sale of intoxicating liquors in th< State of West Virginia is before th< Legislature. It is probable that thi House of Representatives will pass it but the approval of the Senate is ver' donbtful. WADLEY, EMANUEL Co., GA.. Oct. 10, 1879.
