EULOGY OF STACKHOUSE. [

is the revered adage of the ages.
While living the veil of charity is
thrown over the frailties of man, but
the grave, with its solemn mysteries,
speaks in commanding tones, say
nothing but good of the dead. Life ;
would be more tolerable and joyful i
' if the living could hear the wails of
; the sympathetic, the fulsome praise
! of the eloquent, and read thc flatter
I ing inscriptions upon their own
\ tombstones. But such cannot be,
for the history man's injustice is em
bodied in the history of "man's in
humanity to man." Mausoleums com- j
mem?rate the truth that the dust of J
the dead o::Iy is perfect.
Monumental praise is but the trib
ute, paid by the living to the deadJ
by mortality to immortality. It isl
well that it is so. Man's inhumanity

an intimate knowledge of the times
in which he has lived and his pecul
iar characteristics, formed and shaded
by his environments, is essentially
necessary ; for such are connecting
links, between generations, and their
lives comprise volumes of experience
and achievements. I regret that my
knowledge of the deceased was limited
on account of our respective ages,
and sensibly feel my inability to do
full justice to his life and character.
Col. E. T. Stackhouse, my imme
diate predecessor in this House "from
the Sixth District of South Carolina,
was born in Marion county on the
27th day of March, 1824, and was,
therefore, at the time of his death in
the sixty-ninth year .of his age. He
was educated in the country schools,
and never I? joyed the advantages oi
a collegiate course. Before he had
completed the course be had marked
[out for himself, he' married Mis*
Anna h ore, tm? dang?ter o? a ncign
bor. A long and happy married life
and seven children blessed this union.
Mrs. Stackhouse died only a few
months before he did.
The chosen occupation of Colonel
Steakhouse was farming, and of this
calling he was ever proud, and per
sistently adhered to it through life.
Ile was always in advance of the
agricultural thought of the times,
anil wa* a bold and successful ex
perimenter. Without much money,
but with an abundant stock of energy
and good common sense, he adopted
early in life the intensive system of
fanning, .md was rewarded with re
markable success. In this respect he
was a pioneer and exemplar to his
county. The Little Rock community,
where he always lived, to-day owes
rcucl) of its prosperity and reputation
as a farming section to his influence
and example. In fact, the entire
State recognized his worth and pro
gressiveness. Ile was elected by his
county to the Legislature, became
thc first President of the State Alli
ance, and afterwards a member of
thff"body.
Sever before in the history of the
Stale had such honorable recognition
be?] accorded a simple farmer. In
18t] Col. Stackhouse entered the
Confederate army from Marion
county as captain of a company
which was incorporated in the Eighth
South Carolina Regiment. Ic April,
18'"'I. the regiment, under Col. Cash,
entered service in Charleston, where
it remained until after the surrender
of Kort Sumter. It was then trans
? erred Ut "virginia, where it became
a part of the historic; anny of North
ern Virginia, with which it remained
until after the surrender at Appo
mattox. From Captain he was pro
moted t<> Lieutenant Colonel and
then Colonel, which latter position
he held at the surrender.
Although advanced in middle life
when South Carolina seceded, yet in
response to his patriotic impulses he
was one of the first to volunteer and
<?ne of the last to retire from service.
II" fought not for glory but, from a
sense of duty, and the consciousness
that tint'cause of his State was a
righteous one. When the crisis came
in which the Southern Confederacy
collapsed and its cause was chronicled
as one of the lost causes, he was the
same patriot he had been during the
limes o? war. Few men who had
attained the agc of Col. Stackhouse
when the war ended were ever able
to so completely adjust themselves
to the new order of things.
Men of my age can hardly appre
ciate what fortitude it took at mid
dle life, after a crushing defeat, with
the added lesolation and misery left
by SiieruKurs army in its "March to
the Sea,'' for one to gather up the
scattered threads of a broken exist
ence and begin anew the battle o?
My only remembrance is as of
.. horrid nightmare, the white, tcar
4-" face of a widowed mother, and
.*. .. tittle brood; where all had been
plenty, dependent for food upon
wltat was thrown away by the vic
t' iyious army, dud picked nj>by_faith
fuf slaves. * .-- ~ ' _ -
\mu\ these tr . . L ,-X'
. ? exhibited
th? same traits which in Avar made
hi?cominan ling . fneer spfeak of him
the "st ".' tn the bri
gaile."
(Pledging a . w his loyalty to the
Onion add the constitution, save as
a emory, he adjured the old South,
. Uh iis traditions, and addressed
: self to :he work of building up a
mrv/j South. Ile settled upon hi?
plantai ion,gathered up the fragments
bus lost property, and engaged
heroic energy in -agricultural
pursuits. When others were croak
ing and gliding into bankruptcy, he
demonstrated the possibility of mak
ing cotton at a profit with hired
labor. He was soon called from his
retirement to represent his county in
the State Legislature. As a member
of that body be made his mark for
solid sense and sound judgment,
although modest and ostentatious,
lhere he zealously advocated all
measures looking to the agricultural
interest- of the State. IPs constitu
ency then accorded him the well
done, good and faithful servant with
as much sincerity as his la'e constitu
ency did when he had finished hii
(.?.urse as a member of this House.
Col. Stackhouse was an ideal citi
zen, modest, unassuming ami imper
tumble, vet firm, bohl and aggres
sive in Iiis convictions. Conserva
tive, cautious and slow, yet advanced,
patriotic and pertinacious in his ac
tions, his was a versatile stamp oi
citizenship. Old theories were nol
adhered to for their antiquity, noi
?vere prevailing ideas adopted be
cause they were entertained by thc
multitude. He was ever ready tc
accommodate himself to changed con
ditions in agriculture, politics, oi
anything else, and to adopt progres
sive ideas and methods. He fol
lowed what his conviction's taughl
him was right in spite of criticism 01
opposition. He thought for himself
and was no truculent follower ol
majorities, but sought to be a mohlei
of public opinion and leader of men
Devotion and faithfulness charac
terized his rejetions as a father, hus
band and friend.. Iii his famHy cir

its charity the whole brotherhood
of man. It was his custom to as
semble bis slaves at thc gin house
every Sunday afternoon to teach
them the way of life.
In attestation of the appreciation
by the colored people of his humanity
several hundred attended his funeral
and testified in every way to the
esteem in which he was held. His
neighbors loved him for bis kindness
and unselfishness. His charity in
dispensing favors and giving aid and
sympathy to the unfortunate, needy
and distressed was proverbial. Col.
Stackhouse was a self-made man, the
architect of his own fortunes. Ile
was from the great middle class, and
could boast of no illustrious ancestry,
but depended upon his own intrinsic
merit, his own inherent manhood,
energy and unconquerable will.
Born and bred in old South Caro
lina, yet he was a true representative
of new South Carolina, typical Caro
linian of the new faith and new
school born of tho civil revolution
of 1861-'65, which wrought wonder
ful changes in the social, political I
and industrial condition of the State. :
Had that revolution never occurred,
I hazard little in saying that the de- ;
ceased would never have represented
I South Carolina in this body. The.
! condition of affairs in the State be- \
. fore that revolution was peculiar,
resulting from the ideas ot__ the Old
World transplanted in the new, and
the attempt to ingraft them in the
' society-'and polity of the colony.
In thc course of time an aristoc-J
! racy bated on slaveocracy dominated ;
j old South Carolina an completely
controlled her social, political and1
j industrial destinies. This necessa-j
rily created two classes as distinct
j as the Patrician and Plebian orders
of Rome. The large slave-owners
[became tb?: rulers ami office-holders,
? and the masses of thc people were
regarded as unfit to govern. It was
an intolerant, defiant and uncompro
mising tyranny, suppressing free
j speech, free thought and independ-j
. j ence of action. There was no irre-,
lj pressible conflict then, because from j
. force of habit, education and a dis-J
inclination to assert their sovereignty, i
the middle class succumbed.
Nullification and secession were ;
the legitimate fruits of this condi
: tion of things. This is a true pic
ture of old South Carolina, of which '
Hayne, Calhoun and Rhett wore
i true representatives. The abolition
?j of slavery was the destruction <>f ;
I this system. The rich and powerful
j of the old became the poor and weak ?
I of the new. The shackles of caste
J,were remov.J .nd the artificial dis-!
i Unction ot classes abrogated. The j
farmer ami workingman claimed
; j their God-giv?n rights, and Boldly
: and defiantly entered the political ;
jarena. This changed condition did j
bring about an irrepressible conflict
I between the reconstructed orders of j
! society. . j
^During Federal reconstruction !
j there was a truce between the old !
> political leaden* and those developed i
j;->\ the new order of things. In !
" -v hs. the ^united and patriotic I
[efforts Of botfvh'irmor.izod foi atone I
? by the common instinct of self-pre- ;
sensation, the infamous carpetbag
government, pinned to our backs by
j reders! bayonets, was overthrown, i
j and the State resetted from the alion I
; j and the spoiler. As soon as this ;
?i revolution was accomplished the old :
! <uit>i beUum leaders sought to re
establish their autocratic sway. Po
. Utica] devices of various kinds were j
; adopted to delude thc people and
i drive them into their old-time su- '
pin en ess. Negro domination was
perpetually held up as the inevitable
result of agitation. For a'time the
spirit of reform and the latent desire
and determination of the people to j
rule was kept in check.
But at last, like some mighty giant:
just aroused to a consciousness of Iiis
power by repeated injuries, the !><.<>
. pie aroused from their lethargy, and.
i trusting in their own might, deter
, mined to be sovereign. The election
!::,of B. R. Tillman as Governor in 1
1890, accomplished by the general j
uprising of the people under the
leadership of Tillman, Stackhouse,
and others, was the culmination of
this great social and political revo
lution and one of the legitimate re
sults of the reconstructive and evo
j luliouary effects of the war of 1861.
? The economic conditions prevailing
elsewhere of course also played their
j part. This irrepressible conflict has,
j however, we hope, about ended. In
?this brief picture of ne .. South Caro
j lina Col. Stackhouse occupies a con
spicuous place in the work of reform
and rehabilitation. As one of the
people, risen from 'heir ranks, their
champion, he deserves their everlast
ing gratitude and remembrance.
Full justice could not be done to
his life work and memory without
referring to the stupendous social
and political revolutions in which he
was a prominent actor. The eulogist
of Miltiades and Leonidas could not
do justice to their illustrious lives
without at least a passing reference
to Marathon and Thermopylae.

Justice L. Q. C. Lamar.
The funeral ceremonies over the la
Justice L. Q. C. Lamar wen-celebrated
Macon. '?a., on last Friday, from tl
Mulberry Street Methodist church
which he was a member. Thousands
?ggpple gathered along the route taken i
thc funeral cortege, and at the church
was impossible to get within fifty yan
>>t' the door. Ail church bells were ke;
tolling during the ceremonies. The ii

afterwards Chief Justice Fuller ami t!
Washington party left tor home.
This gifted son of thc South held
high place in the affections of th
American people. The r.rd of h
public services is epitomized in th
following resolution of the Georg:
Uar Association :
Whereas, the State of Georgi
gave to the republic the I lor
I.. Q. C. Lamar, who, weary an
heavy-laden with ali the honor
winch tiic republic could bestow, ha
sunk to sleep upon his mother'
bosom; and whereas, it was i
.Macon that he. donned the livery o
the law for which his sovereign Stat
substituted the toga of the Senate
whence lie passed into the Cabinet o
a President, only to emerge clad it
the ermine of thc most august o
earth's tribunals; and whereas, ead
mantle that he wore, he laid asidi
stainless as the shining robe whici
once again in .Macon he assumed a:
he took his place amid the bar of tha
eternal court where the judge i>

all thc worlds of all the systems, cw
whose jurisdiction is eo-extensivi
with thc universal realm of law
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is meet for th(
bar of Macon, and of Georgia,., t<
pay a tribute to thc most distin
guised brother, and to lay thc rose
gathered from the garden of youth
upon the coffin of the mighty dead,
ere yet the grave is open to receive
it.
Resolved, That in the death oi
Judge Lamar, thc republic mourns
its wisest statesmen, the Bench, it*
sagest counsellor, and America^ an
orator -who, through tho stormiest
epoch of our country's li ?story, hythe
matchless power of' his eloquence
moved contending sections in ,com
mon homage of Charles'Sumne'r and
Jefferson Davis.
Resolved, That no man has better
typified the South than this great
Georgian, brave in battle, pare in
private life, a fearless but generous
o-TbVl friend beneath whose*' silken
fron imp^gurt?sy was ever felt the
beyond all thirto^ and ab?ve and

cohorts of the Confederacy march
?J back into the heart of tho repub
lic, an-1, thai no recom? ; his public
achievements is appropriate hon1,
since in thc advancement of his
country his statesmanship has written
his own eterna! epitaph. So long as
it shall be remembered that there

One of the greatest sources of
weakness rn the church to-day is
unconverted church members. They
dilute its energy, lill it with a spirit
of worldliness and act as perpetual
drags (?ti the whole of its progress.
A blind or deaf man has infinitely
moro reason to deny the being, or
the possibility of the being of Light
and sounds, than an atheist can have
to deny or d >ubt the existence of
God.
The indwelling Holy Spirit grants
thc believer abiding comfort, cour
age and confidence.
Faith makes the Bible its pocket
book, while unbelief makes tbepocket
book its Bible. The one rests its
future prospects on die promises of
God, the other on thc size of the
pocket-book.
Try to keep clear of prejudice, and
be willing to aller any opinion you
may hold when further light breaks
upon your mind. He h^ctever beyond
precedent, or weak beyond measure,
who never sees reasons to change his
judgment of mon and things.
