What Stolbrand Thinks of His Chances.
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.
Codey's L.adys Book for March
Is one of the best issued in mnani
years. The steel plate engraving is
scene from "David Copperfield." and,
like all of Darley's drawings, is true tc
life. 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. An<
in addition to all these there is a diai
gram pattern for a child's dress, and:a
beautiful colored pattern for a lady'
shopping bag. We can recommen<
this old favorite magazine to oua
readers, because of its pure and ele
vated tone, as a safe companion. W<
will receive subscriptions at this oiflc
and furnish the HERALD and GodeY:
Lady's Book each for one year for th<
low price of $3.75 per annum.
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.
