There was a great interest in this handsome chsirch just after it was erected, more than twenty years ago. One pew was then purchased by Gen eral Berry, of Baltimore, for $5000, for the use of President Johnson. The latter was not a member of the Me tropolitan church, but the General was an admirer of Mr. Johnson’s pol icy, and wanted to do something to testify his approval, while tiie Presi dent expressed his appreciation of the courtesy by occasioually occupying the pew. The Secretary of W’ar and the Com mander-in-chief of the army have never seemed to be in harmony and conflicts of authority between them are becoming common occurrences, WTiile Secretary Endicott was away a short time since, several adjutant appointments were made by colonels, with tiie approval of Gen. Sheridan, of lieutenants serving with light bat teries. The Secretary thought that the adjutants should be selected from among the lieutenants doing actual I answer the from a material standpoint, both to our county and town. Besides, it is desired on this occasion to reorganize the county Medical Association which has not held a meeting since the death of its president Dr. Cook of Beech Is land. We sincerely trust thal the mem bers of the two medical committees will receive every possible aid from/' 9ecretar .V nl ibe our liberal business men and public stunted citizens in making such ar rangements as will enable them to ac cord a handsome and hospitable en tertainment to our visitors. The meeting in our midst of so representa tive a body of professional men can not fail to advertise Aiken’s unequal- t*d advantages as a health resort in a manner most desirable and in con junction with the desire to be in the forefront of liberal handed Carolina hospitality should stimulate our peo ple to taken lively interest in all the arrangements that are made for the reception of the State Medical Associ ation. Which is best, that men should settle their difficulties like reasonable beings in accordance with the code duello, or that they should make walking arsenals of their persons and upon the first provocation pistol each other to death, without a word of ex planation, even though it be in a court of justice?

It is said that the President became familiar with Mr. Mowrv’s claims for recognition through the efforts < f Senator Hampton and representative Dibble to secure an appointment ei ther iu the internal revenue service or in tiie treasurer’s office. It was as an applicant for one of these positions that Mr. Mowry called upon the Pres ident. The latter, it is said, was pleased with his manner and address in addition to the substantial endorse ments he presented. The political sit uation was presented, and it was said that of the two factions in Charleston one had secured all of the local prizes, whi.c the oilier had been ignored. Mr. M-fwry was designated as an active representative of Hie here tofore unrecognized faction, and in the interests of fair-play his claims were pressed successfully. ^ H«- Gave up all Hope Chicago Tribune. “Prisoner,” said a Nevada Judge, “what have you to say to this indiet- are you guilty or not guilty?” question.

The code duello was never intended to promote the deadly settlement of difficulties, but quite the reverse. It provided an opportunity for explana tion and honorable adjustment of riilliuultictt without recourse to arms; but as a dernier resort, when arms were used, men were taught to remem ber that they wore rcsponsiblu mor tality and certain restrictions were devised which served to mitigate the asperities of personal combat, while at the same time personal honor was rigorously guarded. The proportion of deadly results to peaceful and hon orable settlements were indeed small, and that was its greatest recommenda tion. Certain eases there were where bloodshed could not be avoided, but the conflict was conducted in ac- cordsnee with wise restrictions. Un bridled animal passion was not per mitted, and decency and gentlemanly conduct were inflexibly maintained. If men had to kill each other it was done in a fair and manly way, after every eflbrt at reconciliation had fail ed.

Mr. Jones still lives. His pulse and respiration are better this morning, but his face is flushed and rer tribute to the fascinating personality of Col. Ingersoll, who, he said, was a fine domestic character, a staunch friend, a loval citizen, a brilliant law yer, a wonderful orator, charming by the splendor of his rhetoric and the beauty of iiis imagination, but who, when he approaches the subject of re ligion, drops the mantle of his genial personality and becomes the loudest of boasters and the most abject of intel lectual cowards. One of the hardest blows dealt the distinguished Pagan was through a quotation from one of his own lectures “The concurrent judgment of man kind,” said the General, “is that their belief in God is the foundation of all truth, and that a man will not call upon his Creator to boar witness to a falsehood. Col. Ingersoll takes an other view of it. He thanks Mother Nature that she has planted sufficient ingenuity in the brain of a child to throw up against the violence of a brutal parent the little breastwork of »Ue.” < * » Speakr’gof the growth of this coun try and its institutions, of which Col. Ingersoll is one ssf the beneficiaries. Gen. Sheridan said: “The history of America is simply a grand poem, sounding in immortal numbers the praises of Christianity. The country was discovered by Christians, settleii by Christians; Christians declared its independence, fought the battles which established it. formed its insti tutions, and gave it its universities and hospitals and homes'*—and all else that is good.

The CumiKiigri of the Sons of Temperance. During the past week Mr. Edward Carswell, the Canadian temperance lecturer, accompanied by Mr. C. M.

The railroads are not going to get rid of deadheads entirely. The inter state commerce law prohibits the rail roads from issuing passes, but does not prevent them from permitting the employes of the Post Office Depart ment, whose duties require them to visit different parts of the country, to ride free. The Attorney General lias given an opinion on the point, and it is doubtless the first point raised un der the interstate law to be settled. The pest office employes, however, have the authority of a law to back them up in their claim for free trans portation. There are a great many other goverment officials, however, who doubtless view with regret the termination of the free puss business. There is no law to which they can ap peal to support their request for free passes, and they will, therefore, have bail was cut from his right side, about i 1° ! ):i J ' va J' thej’ travel.

In that way they have been able to materially increase their incomes at the expense of the railroads. It is a well known fact that a very large number of Congressmen have ! made it a point not only to travel t< I and from their homes on free passes. , although they collected the mileage I which the law allows them, but they have been accustomed to demand free : passes for themselves, their fauiiles j aud friends whenever they wanted to : take a trip to any part of the country 'either on business or pleasure. The : mileage of a member of Congress from the Pacific slope amounts to about $2, 8T), or more than a fourth his two years’ salary. The mileage of many members from other sections of the country amounts to quite a large sum i annually. Many of them have been accustomed to travel free. Now 'they will have to pay just as other people do, and while their actual ' traveling expenses will not be one- half the amount of their mileage, and they will still make money out of ! their mileage prerogative, it is proba- i ble they will not travel about the country quite so extensively now as when ihey w ere dead-heads. The ending of the pass system wili have a beneficial effect upon public men in more ways than one. Officials will not be so desirous of traveling over the country, aud lienee will give more attention to their official duties.

The Newberry Tragedy. Newberry, April 2.—Col. Jno. B. Jones died this morning at 3 o’clock. The whole community deeply deplore this sad affair, and more so that a no ble young life has been sacrificed. Johnnie Jones was twenty-seven years old, and a young man of much promise. He was the youngest son ot Maj. Lambert Jones; was graduated from the Newberry College in the class of 1880, and admitted to the Bar in December, 18s2 and lias been in active practice since that time, and bid fair to become eminent iu his profession. Coronqr Bass held an iucfrrftt this morning and the veidict of the jury was that he came to his death fr >m a pistol wound, iu the han Is of George Johnstone.

Col. Jones will be hurried to-morrow after noon. The Attempt of the "Wife ot Ex- Seuator Cameron to Commit Suicide. Chicago, April 1.—A special from LaCrosse, Wis., says that Mrs. Angus Cameron, wife of cx-United States Senator Cameron, attempted to drown herself in the river last evening. She was seen by two men wandering to tiie river. The men followed her but she managed to elude them and plunged into the stream. Search was made alongside the river and her half frozen body was found and taken from the water. She was taken to the In ternational Hotel and was restored to consciousness. She was resting quiet ly at a later hour. Mrs. Cameron sus tained an injury to her spine in a collision on a Brooklyn and New York ferry some years ago, from the effects of which she has never fullv recovered. A close watch has been kept of her movements ever since, because she has not been in her right mind. Last night she managed to get out on tiie street and succeeded in reaching the place where the Senator’s brother committed suicide. Return iug to His First Love.
