The Mission is now filled by Mr. Langston, who, it is maid, wishes to be rocalled. Maj. Do laney, it is claimied, being much dark or than Prof. Laingston, will better represent the colored race. Imanigrant Agent. The Stato Board of' Agriculturo, on Thursday, elected Col. Ed w. M. Boy.. kin, of Kershawv, Superintendent of' Immigration at a salary of $1,800 ai year. lie was instructed to rubmit to the board at, an entlry date a scheme in dotlil f'or the immediate inducement, of immigratlion to the State. Col Boykin is a gentleman of fino eduica tion, and p~ossessi ng experieneo in im - migration affairs ho will Ldonbtless make an etijict worker in his now departonion t. Theii temper'anco cause is boomi ng throughout the Stato. In Chlarleoston recontly a mass mnooting~ was held and munch interest mfaijfestedi in the causo. It was resolvred to put down the whis-. key traffic in that city on the Sabbath. Putitions are circulating throughout the country, pralying the Legislature to pass a total abstinance law at its next session. WVe saw one at thlis place recently and nerly every per son to 'whom it had been presented had signed it. Tho causo is on r'isintg grou nd, and something beneficial may be accomplished by3 thoe movrndent, if fanaticism is not pormitted to destroy it. TIhere is at mlovement on foot to extend the Virginia Midland Railroad from Danville to Spartanburg. The citizens of' Spartanburg are taking a lively inlterest in thme project, and will send delegates to Sltutcsville N. C., to a meeting on the 20th inst. All the counties in Noirth Carolina through which the proposed road is to runi are to send delegates. It is hinted that an earnest fight tiay be expected in tihe next Legislat ure over thme expiring chaLrter' of the Columbia and Creenvillo Railroad. The present charter forbids the build ing of rival lines to Golumbia, and the Clyde Syndicate will probably brmng all of its power to bear to Securo the extension of that provision. Exactly the argumonts that will be advanced to support that proposition are niot yet known, but plausible ones will doubtless be forthcoming. It is too early to begin the fight yet, but iL will come, and people and press may well be actively watchfuk--.Greenville News, Mr. Julius U'. .Huywood has been appointed United States Commi..ion er' at Greenvillo.

The dispatches from Washington indiente that the Senatorial dend.lcck will be broken this week. The de bate has been kept up in angry words sinco the extra session commenced. Mahone, being the master of the Re publican party, insists that the baX, gain by which they bought him should be strictly cati'ied out, and that his man Riddleberger should be elected sargeant-at Vims. The Democrats have fillibustered to prevent the con sumation of this disgraceful bargain, and have exposed the whole matter co thoroughly that the Republicans have become sick of Maihone, and now it is stated, propose to give up the contest, go into executive session, confirm appointments made by the President and let the election of ofli cers go over until the regular session in December. On the other hand, it is announced that the Democrats boe lievo that they have gained all that is to bo gained by opposition to the ekc tion of officers, and that, they will quietly yield and permit the Repub% licuans to elect Riddloberger. They would, it is said in that case move to substitute the name of Fred crick Douglass for that of' Riddlebor, gor, and it that were voted down by the Ropublicansthe Democrats would then move the name of' some wel' known Union soldier like General Pleasanton, and if the liopublicans should reject that name also the Dem Ocruts would make no further rosist, anco to Riddleberger's election, but merely point out that the Republic ans preller a rebel captain to a respec table colored man and a Uiniou Gene ral. Privately Republican Sonators very generally confess that they wish their now ally, General Mahone, were a broader man than he is. They dis cover very few traces of statemanship in him, and they do not take very kindly to the kind of politics Mahone appears ILo them to know best. In, fact, a good many of them are secret ly sick of Mahono and his Rliddlebar ger' anid wish they had initrusted the making of a Suther n alIlianico t o somebody else than the shrewvd Mr. Gorham, of California.

I have already sent a despatch to you announcing the death of General M. W. Gary, last Saturday morning at about 2 o'clock. His friends in Edgefield were very anxious for his remains to be buried there, but his family preferred that they should be interred at the family burial ground in Cokesbury. At about 3 o'clock, P. M., on Saturday the remains were escorted by a large crowd of citizens to Trenton, where they were placed on the C. C. & A. Railroad, the town anthorities and the bar at Edgefield having selected a delegation to escort them to the place of interment. They were accordingly taken to Columbia to take the train on the Columbia and Greenville Railroad for Cokesbury when they arrived at Columbia at about 12 o'clock at night Gov. Ha good and other distinguished citizens met the train conveying them and oined in escorting them to the Co lumbia and Greenville Railroad. The renmains arrived at Hodges at 5 o'lock Sundey morning and were met by a delegation of the citizens of Cokes, bury, who, together with the delega, tion from Edgefield, escorted the re.. mains to the place of interment. The ball-bearers were: Hon. J C. Shep pard, J. L. Addison, Esq., B. W. Bet tie, Esq., B. L. Abney, Es. Capt. W. A. Moore, Col. B. Z. Herndon, Dr. G. L. Connor, G. W. Connor, Esq., L. D. Connor, Esq., of Cokesbury. At hall past two the procession was formed for the cemetery at, Taberna, elO Church. It Wats at least halt I mile in length, and the turning out en masse of his old neighbors in the scenes of his childhood betokcened the love they bore for him. Not the least striking featu re here was the attend ance of the old family eervanmts who. stood about with streming eyes as they looked for the last time 1u0pon him thbey h ad fonmd ly calIled " miasterw."

WASHINGTON, April ll..The Se~. cretary of the Treasury to day issued a circular calling in the 5195,000,000 6 per cent bonds (the whole amount now outstanding) on the 1st of July next, but allowing to holders of bonds ihe privelige of' continuing the loan during the pleure of the Govern.. ment with Interest at 8& per cent., provided the bonds are received by the Secretary on or before the 10th dlay of Mav. 1881. Our Washington Letter. WASUINGTON, April I 1881. Yesterday was fhe fret real pleas ant" day that Washington bas been blessed .with for months, and to-day bids fair to be a worthy companion. Yesterday being Palm Sunday, a day famous in the Anglican and Roman churches. and which has been preser ved In all its sanctity of rite from the earliest history of Christiainity, the at, tendarce at all the churches was large particularly so in the Episcopalian and Catholic churches. At the lattoe the blessing and distributing of the ho, ly palm was a special feature of the occasion. 'hi is dono in commemoration of the triumphlal entry of Jesus into Je rusalem over the branch of palm the people, crying '-Hosanna" all the while, spread before him. The attendance at church was large, and every oiie you met returning from there had a sprig of the blest palm in Iter liands. Tho entire week being the "holy wee" in the Episcopal and Catholic churches, will be devoted to religious exercises. The Senate will moet again to-d ay, but so many of the momnbors are ab, sent, and absentees all piired, that, it is quito probable that no quorum would be present every should they so far forget tiemselves its to commence the Lransaction of some of the business for which they were called together. Tie Sena to procceedi ngs are a regular Farce, aid the sooner that honorable body adjourns sine die the better pleat sod will be the people at large.
