General John B- Gordon, wlio is
ooSitesting with Hon. A. O. Bacon
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Georgia, is one whom
ftouth Carolinians remember wtth
grateful kindness, for the sympathy
and ass^tancehe rendered in our strug
gle against radicalism in 1876. Mr.
Jiacon’s star appears to be in the as
cendancy, but if our Georgia friends
would only permit us to send delega

Col. C. E. It. Drayton, Aikcu, S. C.:
Dear 8nt—I am preparing a report
on the Internal Commerce of riouth
Carolina for the United Slates Treas
ury Department. It is very desirable
that the business of our principal
towns shall be properly presented.
With the immense amount of lalior
involved in a work of llifs character,
and the limited timedtf which it must
be done, it Will be impossible for me
to treat tlirs branch of the report as
fully ^s it should be unless I can get
the assistance of some one in each
town who feels an interest in the busi
ness of the place.
I want to get a statement of the re
ceipts and shipments of merchandise
in South Caroling from each place
and inclose vop a'blank : £>rul in which
It is desired "uiis information shall be
furnished. /Can’t you get the figures
called fdi- fr6m your railroad agents
and fill the blank for me?
It is the first opportunity our Statehas
had foi 1 prteaqntiug its advantages‘and
commerce through the official publi
cations of the National Government,
and I trust that it will be fully appre
ciated. Will you kindly advise me
on receipt of this Whether I rtiay ex

Very truly yours,

owners of the spoli^tkiti -i^itns began
to urge them uponthe hftlfted States
on the ground that by surrendering
the rights of individuals for a national

Two act.? were passed by Congress
providing for payment, but one was

by an act approved by President Ar

Now someof the old merchants and
ship-owners of President Jefferson’s
day would cry out from their graves
if they could see into what a condi
tion tlieirdescendants have let their
precious papers fall. IK^ds of assign
ment, policies of insurance, letters of
administration, and other documents
which would Le valuable as evidence
in tha spoliation cases, have been al
lowed to go to the paper mill to kin

ferers from Frencli spoliation have
Uad faith enough in tl e i ltimate recog
nition of their claims to take care of
the faded old manuscripts whichwould
now furnish a complete chain of
evidence in their favor,

The following touching tribute to
the life work of this departed soldier
of the cross was written at our espe
cial request by the Rev. Lucius Cuth-
bert, his co-worker in the ministry
and his anient friend through life.
It would bo superfluous for the Editor
of this paper to add one single word
to testimony from so high a source to
the memory of this zealous and dis-
tinuguished clergyman and amiable
gentleman;
The lamentation qf David over the
death of Abner is peculiariy'appropri-
ate In reference to the death of Rev.
Janies F. Buist. “Know ye Hot that
there is a prince and a great man
fallfep this day in Israel.” This sad
e/ent occurred at his residence on the
13th hist., near the town of Bamberg,
in the 48th year of his age. He has
fallen in the very prime of life at his
post of duty—honored'by the people
at large and beloved by the churches.
He has fallen in the Mtliick of the
fight” as a brave soldier of the cross
would prefer to die. Though the news
was sudden and startling to his
friends,, he himself Was fully prepared
to meet the issue. He died as one, who
all of his lifetime, had been preparing
to “meet his God.” And when the
summons cams’, It found him ready.
The scene that transpired lii the
chamber of death was a fitting termi
nation of a life devoted to the service
of his Saviour. In the perfect con
sciousness of his approaching end, he
exclaimed, “I am standing on the
rock of ages”—“Calvary will carry
me safely through.” And while his
family were bowed with grief at his
departure, his own soul was radiant
with the joy of the Heavenly world.
He said to those around him, “I see the
glory of God passing before me.” “I
shall soon be "with Christ and shall
share in His glory.” - And as he gazed
lovingly for the last time upon his
noble, deyofed wife, he said, “I am
S ;oing to iea<ve you, but it will not be
ong beforetyou will be coining too,
and then I shall be waitlngand watch
ing by the pbrtals Cq welcome you.”
Such a scene as was witnessed in that
chamber of death, constituted an un
answerable atgumeut for the reality
of Christianity; As a man and a
minister, “we never shall look upon
his like again.” Of fine personal ad
dress with courtly manners, possessed
of those foetal qualities which made
him' popular arasng nfs fpllow-men,
he will be sadly niissetj ih the com
munity, in the County and in the
State. His mind was well cultivated
and his habits were those of a student
all through life. Quick to perceive
the salient points of a subject, be
presented them with all the power of
a well trained intellect and with all
the earnestness of a warm heart and
a conscientious spirit. His ministry
was wonderfully blessed in Barnwell
county, and to-day his churches “rise
up and cffll him blessed.” Farewell,
dear Brother, Until we meet around
the throiie of God to part no more.

WASHINGTON CKTTFlt.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington. May 21,1886.
The United States Senate is l»eing
much criticised just now for its
liberality with the peoples money.
It has passed a remarkable pension bill
which, it is alleged, Senators are too
intelligent and many of them
too honest, to have voted for, had
they not known that it could
neYer become a law. The new meas
ure grants a service pension, pure and
simple, to every person who fought
on the Utilou Side during the late war,
and who Is not entitled to a pension
by reason of disability inclined in the
service, but is now'disabled and de
pendent Upon his oiVn exertions for
support. It gives ail such persons a
pension of from $4 to $24 a month,
and it also provides pensions for the
dependent parehts of men who died Jn
the service or from disabilities con
tracted thereih. '
The attack made upon Speaker
Carlisle in his own city of Covington
because of a recent anpointhient
which he was influential in having
made, is not considered hefe as likely
to result in any harm to him, person
ally, or politically. The Speaker is
very popular in Congress with botli
parties, and the usual couimeutis, in
effect that his constituents cannot af
ford to retire him for the satisfaction
of a grudge relating to s|X)ils.
Many of the admiring friends of
Lieutenant Greely, the Artie explor
er, we urging his appointment by the
President to major and assistant ad-
justaut’ general in the place made
vacant last week by the death of Col
onel Benjamin. Many newspapers,
notably Xu Ilwe West, have joineil
heartily in the proposition. Their
wishes are confronted, however, with
a statute which provides that appoint
ineutsto this position must be made
from among the “Gap«*ins of the
line” of the army. As there is no
f »rospect of Lieutenant Greely becom-
ng a captain at an early date, the
proposed appointment is an impossi
bility.
After scores of years of patient
waiting the French spoliation claim
ants obtained a hearing before a fed-;
eral court, began th.*ir imminent,
and this week a decision was made
In their favor. The celebrated claims
arose from seizure by French priva-
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
To the Memory of Mr. James E. Cook
ami Capt. James H. Giles.
Since the last meeting of the Execu
tive Committe of the Deiuocratic par
ty of Aiken County, the hand of death
has removed from our midst, ope who
was a member, and another who was
an ex-member. James E. Cook and
James H. Giles, botli of Gramteville.
Our felidw citizens abroad paid tribute
to tbeif memories, and now when we
meet for the first time since their de
parture, and begin anew our duties for
tlie good of the people, we ’miss their
counsel and ask leave to bear testimo-
U3’ to their worth. As public servants
and patriots they were always ready
to do their dut>. In the dark days of
misrule that threatened destruc
tion, they always stood firm, in the
trying times of 1876 when the tempest
of political warfare was raging they
stood upon the deck and faced the
gale ;ann when the calm of peace to our
political mother came they asked no
office or reward for what they did, but
worked ot; f >r the harmony, welfare
and safety' of the grand Democratic
party of which they were valued
members, and for the good govern
ment of their Carolina and her entire
people.
Therefore, Be it resolved by this
committee
Resolved. That a Blank page in the
minutes of the Cqtpj^ittee he inscrib
