The prayeis of every christian heart in this community will attend kini in his high and ho'y mission, B?gu. "Frnr God and keep His eommmnndments," is a divine command and is a'so the cardinal doe'rine of the christian religion, of every denomination. It was impressed upon our hearts in our earliest childhood, ami time cannot efface it or weaken our faith in the terrible rebuke that may follow a defiance of that command. When Gov. Tillman said '-I noitlier fear God or regard man," lie uttered defiance to the justice| and power of God. and we have sorious right to ^apprehend that God will rcbuko him, orthe people who tacitly endorse his defiuncebv e'ecting him to rule ovor them. We arc not a rcligims fanatic. ?ta?~ There is no truth in the published report that (Jot. Tillman favors W. C. Benet for the office of Attorney General, over Assistant Attorney (ioueral, 1>. A. Townsend. We thought there could truth in the report ; but If there was truth in it it would be piece of unpnrdonahle ingratitude and injustice on the part of the Governor. By right, Maj. Townseod should have succeeded Y. J. Pone to that office. hut he w? not sufficiently acquainted with ' wire pulling," to convince the Legislature of the juetice of hie claims. Since then lie has been one of the most assiduous workers and able officers of the administration, and has fully earned the promotion. His name will certainly be found on the ticket. Death of Mrs. W. T. Boaty. Again are we called upon to announce the death of another of Union's most estimable Ladies, Mrs. William T. Beaty. nee Miss Neely Culp, which ocourrcd at the old family resideuce last Thursday night, at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Beaty was the youngest and only surviving daughter of the lamentel Mr. B. I). Culp, and the last female member of one of the beat families of this County. Her life was spent in Union, and by her gentleness of manner and christian walk, she in earlv li'c endeared liaraatf In alt whose good fortune it was to know her, and he will be greatly miised by her many friends. | 8he leaves a devote) husband, two children and five brothers to mourn her lo?s, who have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. 1 ho Polttioal Tendency.

They become political^ a machines, in conjunction with the postoflice. c dopartraint, to be run iu the interest of tho ' dominant political party, or for any psrty ^ that promises them most liberal advantages. < Whether the government buys or merely t undei takes to control their privileges by ' legislative enactments, the same political ? power will bo exercised by them.

We have a very warm attachment for the Due West Female College of many years standing, formed by an intimate acquaintance with its noble christian Founder, Rev. W. I. Bonner, when he wai a young man. Woffota College. This noble institution .Qf learning now occupies a conspicuous position in the front rank of the beet and most popular colleges jii the country, after surmounting almost I insurmountable trials and discouragements of every kind. From its own inherent worth and the long line of polished Ashlars it has gent into almost every seotion and honorable employment cf the world, as spcoimons of the good work it hat done and is doing, ia the cause of that "higher education" which elevates and purifies society and dignifies truo manhood of life, it has won its way to tho hearts of the people 1 of overy class in the laud, and we are ' pleased to know is now reaping an abundant 1 reward for its faithfulness and efficiency. HP WH- The County campaign i? in fjill blast |1 ?hot and lively?and we regret to learn, quite acrimonious between some of the candidates for legislate honors. i Truly shall we be glad when the election is over. It has been a campaign of abuse, 1 viluporotion, and talse charges. Ia all (lies* demoralizing topic?, tlie Jpeople have bad "lino upon line and precept upon precept" poured into tliem, and no;? the lints ore drawn, taut mid distinct between country and town, capital and labor, vocntinos against vocations, and class against class. And all these unhappy divisions have been created by appeals of politicians tithe prejudices of the people. "Virtuelins fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason." It docs seem to us that political dema- ( g"gue* have tukeu full possession of the working classes of our people, aud aroused j them almost to a state of frenzy by creating ' in their minds the impression that the government, society, capital, towns and cities, j corporations and enterprises of all kinds, i nro organized to oppress them, and must he special objects of their opposition and de- ( struetion, if they expect or wish to be happy and prosperous, and rich themselves. Such j teaching lias implanted such a apit .t of dis contain in the hearts of tlie w< rking classes, J that llie only foundation of mutual interest, . confidence between alj classes, is completely destroyed consequently a general stagnation I bordering on bankruptcy stares us all jn the face.
