The dealt) of (bin distinguished cit izen comesas a shock to the entire Slate. It was only In our last issue that we announced his election as president of the State liar Association at its recent meeting, when he was present in the enjoyment of Ids usuai heulth and spirits. Col. Rion died at his home, In Winnsboro, at 3 o’clock Sunday morning of paralysis of the heart. The funeral will take place to-day at 12 o’clock, and by re quest of C*d. Rion, the Rev. Dr. Woodrow will officiate. Col. Rion was born on the 17th of April, UiJi, in Montreal, Canada, of English p«rents. His lather was an engineer in the English army. He was mainly educated at Pendleton, S. C., during which time he was an in mate of the family of the Hon. John <}. Calhoun. He graduated in 13o0 from the S >uth Carolina College with the lirst honors of his class. Afier leaching for a season, he commenced the practice of the law in 18)1, and in I819 lie was elected president of the Plaliter’sHiink of Fairfield. During the war he ren.dered splendid service as a soldier mid rosi from the’rank of Cap tain to Lieutenant-Coi«iiel of the 7th Battalion of Honth Carolina Rifles. He was engaged in no less than twen ty-two b itties counting the sixty days fighting at Petersburg as one battle. Hy returned home in May Ibtio and resumed the practice of law. He never was a candidate for any civil office to which pav was attached. He watt a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 18*).), and to numerous other conventions. He was a member of the Slate Dem ocratic Executive Committee In 1870, and iu 1877 he went to Washington with Gen. Kershaw and others as the Hampton Committee. Ho was for u long time chairman of (ho Ilnard of Trustees of the Mount Zion Society and member of the Hoard of Trustees of the South Carolina University. In Masonry he had occupied high posi tions and in the order of Odd Fellow.- ho was a prominent member. He was general counsellor of the Char- JtKte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, general solicitor of the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, and Advising council of several other rail road companies,solicitor fortheWinns boro National Rank and attorney of $he Town Council, of Winnsboro. He enjoyed a largo practice in all the Courts having male about $130,00*1 since the war. His law library com prises several thousand volumes and is probably the most valuable private law library in the South. In a quietjvfriy he dlspenfOifi Mjlitft 1 , ~ gifts' ToehnrfMesand gave money free ly to Confederate widows and educat ed the sons of Confederate soldiei>.

Ansel aw^J. a0 ,i five think they aye hap'iy with ! r pie, u it deterred by uupropitlous lion of the revenues and tiie evils of Federal taxation is particularly striking. On this head we cannot forbear making the following extract. 1 The President says: ‘•When more of the i»eopIc’.-< substance is exacted through the form of taxation Mian is necessary to meet the just obligations of the government and the expense of its e' onomical administration, such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the full fundamental principles of ires government. The indirect manner in .. hicii these exactions are made has a ten dency to conceal their true character and their extent. ’ Such language has the wring of true Democracy showing clearly that he stands firmly on the great principles enunciated in repeated platforms of the party which elected him. Another feature that strikes us particularly, is that not one sentence of all his vig orous utterances on tatifi'refoim and kindred subjects is tainted in the the slightest degree with a leaning towards the ruinous fallacy of absolute free trade, and its neccessary corollary direct Federal taxation. The message bears the imprint of a sound well bal anced Democrat, who is content to plant his colors on the Democratic Gibraltar of “a tariff for revenue only," and fight his way by direct, honest manly methods to a reduction of unnecessary revenue and a lessen ing of the burdens of Federal taxation. Taken as a whole it is a splendid State paper, and it is likely to have a marked effect upon public opinion and future legislation. Mr. Cleveland stands out more pre-eminently than ever as the next presidential candidate of the Democratic party. crowdea the cloak rooms, blockaded tiie aisles, chatted, laughed, exchang ed congratulations ,,n success in the recent elections or coinlolencej upon defeat. Victors twited (lie vanquish ed, and defeated members jokingly commiserated with victors upon their failure to throw oft tiie burdens of public life. Tue Se:. ite, which is never given to demon.-traiion under any eirctiin stances, met quietly and shook hands as if it hail only seperated yesterday, instead of four months ago. But these scenes and happenings are now things of the past, and I will not dwell upon them. As to the President’s message which Senators and members refrained from commenting upon until afier they had read it themselves, there are various opinions. The R‘publicans arc dis pose l to criticise its long u an I some of them accuse Mr. Vle/elaud of hav ing s-vcrilied conciseness to a desire to please conflicting element < of his par ty. Their crit icism l< n.u more severe however, than opposing political sen timent is usually regarded as culling for. The Democrats are disposed t > praise the document with tie* excep tion of that part relating to silver, which creates some diversify of eom- nicm. The lurid reformer* contend that the Preiiilent has eommitted himself to reform, while s* mus* <»f the 1>1 «»*< eetio’iist* regard tiig views cons erv.dive etimigli to suit them.

The hill providing for the payment ofuiition in the South Carolina Col lege passed its second reading iu the Senate on Wednesday in a modified form, with notice of sundry amendments on its third reading. As the bill stands, all students wiio are able are require*! to pay $10 as a matriculation fee and $40 ns a tuition fee. Those who are un able to pay will be admitted by the faculty as beneficiaries, upon the affi davits of their parents anil the certifi cates of the County Auditor, Treas urer and Sheriff, that they are unable to pay. These beneficiaries must pledge themselves to teach in a free school for two years after graduation. It is to be hoped that this hill will be killed hi the House, as it is a back ward m *p in popular education and a in»n*t,>>u.s wiong upon the poor youth oi Somii Carolina.

Sent)tor Carews of Laurtms, had tiie bill so changed (without opposition), as to include in its provisions the County of Laurens. There is no doubt of its pas dug its third reading in the Senate but its fate when it readies the House is not at all certain. A BILL to reduce the salaries ot County School Commissioners to $200 per annum and mileage at oct-. not to exceed iu all :j>lC0 lias passed the House. Mr. O. C. Jordan took a prominent part in opposition to this bill. In the COU 1**50 <~)f his remarks he said: ••It seemed to him to have been the custom in tiie past four or five years f »r the Legislature, whenever it got short of work of a reformatory charac ter, to turn its attention to the com mon seho'd system and to strike it a blow. This bill he regarded as a seri ous blow toeducat ion.it put a premium j tipnit ignorance. It woui l lie better, lie urged, to strike out the entire sys tem thun to seek to strike it iu this manner.
