John T. Darby, IL D. The roll of Carolina physicians who have gone-bence to make their fame and fortune is one of which the State' may well feel proud, for in Paris, New York; Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and San Francisco there are and- have been Carolina names in the profession, bo illustrious as to be familiar not only in the cities where they lived and moved and had their being, bnt all over the Union. Among these distinguished men none stood higher in professional acquire? ments and personal character than Dr. John T. Darby, the announcements of whose death has just caused a thrill of sprrow throughout the large circle of his friends'and admirers.^ A varied experi? ence in the active duties of his profes? sion,- not only in the ordinary walks of civil life, but in the crowded wards of city hospitals and amid the harrowing scenes of the battlefield, had given Dr. Darby unusual advantages for the ac? quirement of scientific Knowledge and practical skill of which hie. natural in? telligence enabled him to make the best use, and consequently, both as surgeon and physician, ne occupied the foremost rank. As a citizen and patriot his record was unblemished. His death will no? where be regretted more than in this, his native State. Dr. Darby was reared in St. Mathew's Parish, Orangeburg County, where his father practiced medicine before him. He received his early education at Mount Zion College, Winnsboro', and finished his classical education at the Sooth Caro? lina College. After completing his col? legiate coarse he came to Charleston and commenced the study of medicine at the Summer Medical Institute of which Drs. Michel, Kinloch and Robertson were the professors, and also attended the Medi? cal College of South Carolina, of which ?he was a graduate. He next went to Philadelphia, and shortly afterwards be? came the Assistant Professor of Anato? my and Surgery in Professor Agnew's Medical school in that city. He retained this position and practiced medicine in Philadelphia up to the commencement of the war, when be returned to South Car? olina and connected himself with Hamp? ton's Legion, of which he was appointed surgeon. In this capacity he rendered efficient service at the first battle of Ma nassas and several of the engagements that followed soon after. He was subse? quently promoted to the position of Di? vision Surgeon and served through the war in this capacity. After the war the Preston family, of which he had become a member by marriage, went to Europe and Dr. Darby went also, and spent two years in England, France and Germany, where he took advantage of the fine Eu? ropean hospitals for prosecuting the stud? ies of his profession, and daring a part of the time he 3erved as a volunteer sur? geon in the German war of 1866. He then returned to Columbia and was elec? ted Professor oT Anatomy and Surgery of the medical department of the Universi? ty of South Carolina. He retained this position until in consequence of the de Senerate condition of the University un er the Radical administration he was induced to resign,and continued for some time subsequent to practice medicine in the City of Columbia. Daring his resi? dence in Colombia he was elected Presi? dent of the Sooth Carolina Medical As? sociation. He then conceived the plan of trying his fortunes at the North, and chiefly through the persuasion of Dr. Sims, then in New York, he removed to that city in 1875 and commenced the practice of medicine there. Shortly after moving to New York he obtained the po? sition of Professor of Surgery in the med? ical department of the University of New York, which position he held up to the time of his death, and in connection with it practiced his profession. He was also visiting surgeon to the Bellevue and Sinai Hospitals in New York, and a member of the Academy of Sciences of Philadel? phia. Dr. Darby had suffered severely from ill health daring his residence at the North. Daring the first winter after his location there he was very ill from the effects of a. dissection wound, and last winter he was seized with a severe attack of pneumonia, from the effects of which he never fally.recovered.?Jvhc? and Cou? rier. Death of Gen. James Shields. The history of Gen. James Shields who recently died suddenly in the city of Ot? tawa, Iowa, presents the grandest illus? tration of the attainments possible ander our free institutions, and it would be well for the Republic if all who gain its hon? ors could wear them. He was born at Dungannon, Tyrone County, Ireland, in 1810, and emigrated to America in 1826. He pursued his studies till 1832, when he went to Illinois and commenced to prac? tice law at Kaskaskia. In 183 3 he en? tered the Legislature; became Auditor ?of the State in 1839; was chosen Judge of the Supreme Court in 1843; appoin? ted Commissioner of the Land Office by Polk in 1845; served as lieutenant in the Florida war; appointed by President Polk a Brigadier General U. S. A. in 1846 and served with great distinction in the Mexican war, and for his dis tinguish? ed services in the battle of Cerro Gordo, in which he was dangerously wounded, he was breveted Major General, and was also severely wounded in the battle of Chapultepec. In 1848 he was appointed Governor of Oregon Territory, which he resigned. In 1840 he was elected to the United States Senate by the Illinois Leg? islature over Sidney Breese, the then Democratic Senator, bat was rejected by the Senate as ineligible, because of some defect in his naturalization. He was re elected by the same Legislature and ad? mitted to the Senate, where he served six years. Subsequently he took up his resi? dence in the Territory of Minnesota, and was elected one of the first United States Senators by the Legislature of that State nod served the short term of two years from 1858 to 1860. At the end of his term he went to California and became on the 19th of August, 1861, a Brigadier General of Volunteers in the Union Ar? my, and on the death of General Lander was assigned to his command. He gained the battle of Winchester, March 23rd. in the movements preparatory to vrhich (on the 23rd) he was severely wounded. At the battle of Port Republic June 9, 1862, he was worsted by Gen. T. J. Jack? son. Retiring from military service be? cause of disabling wounds, since ther. he has been a resident of Missouri, and at times in such severely straitened circum staoces as to require him to pledge his sword, presented to him fordistinguished services in the war, for his necessities. In Januan-, 1879, he was again chosen to United States Senate by the Legislature of Missouri to serve the anexpired term, ending on the 4th of last March, being one of the most remarkable things that has transpired in the history of this coun ' try. He is the only man who has repre? sented two States in the United States Senate since the formation of the govern? ment, and when he entered the Senate to represent Missouri it was the third State that bad chosen him as its highest legis? lator. At the time of his death General Shields was agent for Missouri in the col? lection of her pension claims. ?

Proctor Kaott's Dissection of His Excel? lency's Veto Message No. 3. Washington, June 11. Proctor Kuott, of the House Judiciary Committee, submitted to the House to? day the committee's report upon the Presidential message vetoing House bill No. 1382, known as the military interfer? ence bill. The document is sis or seven thousand words in length, and takes up and examines in detail all the objections made by the President to the bill in ques? tion. It begins by stating that the dan? ger to be apprehended from the presence of troops at the polls is sufficiently ap? parent, and has been repeatedly pointed out. As long ago as 1863 Congress found it necessary to pass a bill to obviate it by strictly prohibiting military interference with elections, except upon call of a State, or to keep the peace at the polls. That bill was approved by Lincoln and is now in force as sections 2,002 and 5,528 of the revised statutes. The words "keep the peace at the polls" were not in the original draft of the bill but were added in the Senate against the remonstrances of a majority of its supporters, who feared they would be misconstrued and used as a pretext to evade with impunity the pen? alties prescribed. To remove that pre? text and prevent recurrence of practices already shown to be dangerous, the pres? ent Congress, in making appropriations for the support of the army, struck out the words in question. The President thereupon returned the bill without his signature being affixed thereto, because in his opinion, first, it was unnecessary; second, it would prevent the civil officers from using the civil force-to keep the peace at the polls; and, tnffd, the method of the repealing clause in question was not in harmony with the Executive taste. The first two objections the committee for the present passes without remark. With regard to the third the report says: "The manner of the repeal was in strict conformity tolthe constitutional rules of the House and justified by numerous prec? edents in the annals of Federal legisla? tion. The latest of these precedents was contained in the army appropriation bill for the present fiscal year, which the President signed without objection, not? withstanding the provision contained therein prohibiting the use of the army as a posse comitatus. It might not be im? proper therefore, for the President to de? vote some attention to the consistency of his own record, if not to the ordinary Jrecepts hitherto observed by the Chief [agistrate in communicating with the su? preme Legislature of the country." The report then recites the preparation and passage of a separate measure of the same nature with a view to obviate the Presi? dent's objections to tbe method of repeal, and says it, too, was returned without ap? proval. It then takes up and examines in course the President's reasons for vetoing .the measures in question. With regard to the first of them, that the bill is unnec? essary, tbe report says: "Whether the opinion of the majority of the Represen? tatives of the people is entitled to any consideration at the hands of the Chief Executive is, of course, a matter to be de? termined by himself, but it is impossible I to read the two veto messages together j without being struck by their marked dif? ference in tone as regards this objection. The inevitable conclusion to be drawn from the first message was that all au j thority to use the army at the polls even j in aid of the civil officers was tacitly, if not expressly, abjured. In the second message, however, there is no such dis? claimer. It is admitted that elections ought to be free from military interfer? ence, but no intimation that such inter? ference would be unlawful. On the contrary, the inference from the second message is that under certain circum? stances it would be eminently proper. The entire argument against the necessi? ty of the bill is, therefore, left to rest upon the President's assertion that the troops have not been and will not be used to interfere with elections during his ad? ministration. But his term of office will soon end and his opinions may change. The subjects of a despot must depend for security upon the grace of their mas? ter, but a free people will insistupon the guarantees of positive law. The second objection of the President to the measure under consideration is that it would abrogate, at certain times and places, a number of existing laws, especially section 5,298 of the revised statues, which, he says, "was sanctioned by Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln, and contains the principle acted upon by four Presidents more endeared than all others to the American people." With regard to this objection, the report says: "If the President had examined the facts connected with the transaction to which he alludes, he would have found that neither of the four illustrious pa? triots referred to either did or proposed to do any thing which would not have been lawful under the strictest letter of the bill which he now vetoes.". In proof of this assertion, the report recites the circumstances of the "whisky rebellion" of 1793, the conspiracy of Aaron Burr, the nullification movement of 1832 in South Carolina, and the out? break of the late civil war. It adds: "A sufficient answer, however, to this objec? tion is that it is untrue. The various statutes to which he refers, including sec? tion 5,298, are as completely abrogated by the act approved by President Lin? coln February 27,1S65, as they probably could have been by this bill had the President signed it. A mere glance at the two measures will place this propo? sition beyonc ? doubt in any candid mind. It is matter of regret, therefore, that the President should have assumed a position so utterly without foundation. It should be borne in mind, however, that sections 2,002 and 5,528 neither confer the power nor impose the duty upon auy officer of the United States to keep the peace at the polls. Congress has not the consti? tutional power to confer such authority or impose such duty. Both the power and the duty belong exclusively to the several States, as was distinctly held by the Supreme Court in the com? paratively recent case of the United States vs. Cruikshank et al., 2 Otto, 551. The same principle was also enunciated by the same court in 1842 in the case of Pennsylvania vs. Prigg, 16 Peters, 625. Nor can it be said that the mere power to execute legal process carries with it the authority to preserve the peace. If the marshal should be forcibly resisted in the execution of a process in his hands, the persons resisting, would, as was held, in the case of the United States vs. Cruikshank, before cited, be guilty of two distinct offenses?one against the United States in resisting its process and one against the State in violating its peace authorities. The United States would have no moro jurisdiction of the latter offense than the?5tate authorities would do of the former. That this was once the opinion of the Secretary of State of is shown by the following extract from a letter of instructions to the marshal of Florida written by him August 20,1860, while Attorney General under a former administration: "The special duty and authority in the execution of a process issued to you must not be confounded with the duty and authority of suppress? ing disorder and preserving the peace, which, under our government, belongs to the civil authorities of the State and not to the civil authority of the United States." "It may be repeated, there? fore," says the report, "that sections 2,002 and 5,528 of the rovised statutes do not authorize officers of the United States to keep the peace at the polls, but merely otherwise incur, and they cannot be construed to confer authority or im? pose any duty." The final objection of the President to the bill is that it discriminates in favor of the State and against the national authority, by making it lawful under some circumstances to use the army to prevent violence in the conduct of State elections and unlawful to do so in the conduct of national elections. Upon this point the report says: "Thecommon sense of the country understands that all elections in a State, whether for members of Congress or local officers, are by the same electors, and those electors derive their right to vote, as was decided by the Supreme Court in the case of Miner vs. Huppensett, 21 Wallace, 170, from the State and not from the United States. It is, therefore, as much the power and duty of the State government to main? tain peace and order at elections for Congressmen as at elections for State officers." In conclusion, the report sums up with the reiterated statements that the Federal government has not, and cannot derive from Congress, any right to preserve the peace in a State, either at the polls or elsewhere, unless called upon by the proper State authorities, and that it is difficult to see how a distinct reservation to the President of the power to suppress insurrection against a State, when prop? erly called on, can be said to derogate from the authority of the United States. The report closes with the request of the committee to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject. The True Code of Honor. The Rev. Prof. Dorsh, ex-President of Roanoke College, Salem, Va., preached the Baccalaureate sermon before the stu? dents of that institution June 9. The topic discussed was, "The True Transformation of Character," and in conclusion Prof. Dosh said: "This is the record of the covenant of Je3us, who when he was reviled reviled not, when he suffered he threatened not, but committed himself to Him who judg eth righteously. Would that this fact and these words were written on the hearts of all the young men of our land, that they might be governed by the true code of houor as exemplified by Jesus Christ, instead of the diabolical counter? feit which seeks revenge for wouuded pride in a brother's blood. This exam? ple of Christ should be followed, and not that of the man who appeals to arms to vindicate insulted honor, too often the mere figment of bis own imperious pride and self-assertion. Can we justify the crimes committed in the name of honor, falsely so called ? Should not the Chris? tian sentiment of this land place under the ban of gentility, morality and religion the too frequent appeals of late to the as? sassin's skill and the bravo's desperation? Shall a false sentiment still mislead our young men and even our boys, and allow them to sacrifice all that they should love, and violate their consciences rather than brave the taunts of fools? Who is the truly brave man?he who forgives an injury or he who seeks revenge? he who gives a challenge or he who has the courage to decline it as the assassin's refuge? He i3 truly brave who dares do right at all hazards. He is the cow? ard who will brave the wrath of God to escape the sneers that a really brave man will despise. i A Man-Eating Horse.?We have in? formation of a terrible affray which oc? curred in Anderson County last Tuesday with a vicious horse. John Coward, the young son of the widow Coward, and a member of the mercantile firm of Worth ington & Coward, went into the stable where there was an old family horse, which had been known to be always as gentle as a dog. Suddenly the beast was seized with a fit of viciousness, and pitched upon young Coward. Before he could get away from the ferocious animal he was almost literally eaten up. The horse had bitten almost all the muscles and flesh loose from both arms above the elbow; had also bitten bim furiously in the sides, on the hips and other places. Dr. Cow? ard, uncle of the young man, was sum? moned and gave all the surgical assist? ance and relief possible, but the wounds were of a very dangerous and serious na? ture, and it was feared he could not sur? vive. A negro boy went into the same horse afterward and was also Bet upon by it and pretty roughly used, and it was with difficulty he was rescued. The horse was never known to be vicious be? fore, and its conduct could not be ex? plained. Young Coward wanted it kill? ed, but nothing was done about it. The horse seemed finally to get over the spell and was taken out and worked in the plow the same day.?Knoxville Chroni? cle. A Florida Sink Hole?Last Thurs? day it was discovered that a sink hole had formed on the telegraph road between here and Fort Meade, about ten miles from here. The road ran near about through the centre of the sink, which is about forty feet in diameter and as round as a circle. A pine tree, fully seventy feet high, that stood by the road, went down, and its top is a few feet below the surfr.ee of the ground. The sink has filled up to within six or seven feet of the sur? face of the surrounding ground with wa? ter, out of which the tree top stands some three feet. There seems to have been a sinking also of the surrounding ground for a distance of fifty yards all around the margin of the hole. The water which has appeared in the sink is of a deep azure color and very clear. This is not the first sink that has occurred in this region, which is noted for the number of its beau? tiful lakes, within the last few years, an? other one having formed a few years ago, about a mile from this one. On account of the light rainfall since last autumn the lakes in that region are getting low, and it is supposed that the water support to the vault of some subterranean passage from the nearest lake being no longer present, the earth gave way and dropped into the subterancan vacuum.?Tampa, Florida, Tribune. The Meanest Man in the Yi'orld. Of all the mean characters that have come under our observation, the mean? est of all is the dyspeptic cynic, to whom grumbling has become a second nature. The weather is always too hot or dry; the meat is too rare or too thoroughly cook? ed, too fat or too lean?in short, he grumbles about every thing from bin coffee to Congress. He is always in want of something he has not, and forever dis? contented with whatever he has. Con? trariness is bis distinguishing trait. If bis wife desires to spend the evening with a friend he insists upon staying at home. He warns all his bachelor friends to beware of matrimony. His brain is so full of whims and crotchets, there is little room for reason or sense. But the dyspeptic cynic reaches the acme of dis agreeableness when a diseased liver has supplemented the grumbling by hypoch? ondria. Then the slightest unpleasant circumstance is magnified into something momentous and terrible. The victim be? comes distrustful of bis best friends, and all sorts of imaginary evils haunt the weakened brain. This picture is not overdrawn, as thousands of homes can attest?homes in which domestic hnopi ness and harmony have been wrecked by ?nothing more than a dyspeptic and chronic disease of the liver. Given a sound stomach and a healthful liver and the results will almost invariably bo healthful temper. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga? tive Pellets are unfailing remedies for all chronic diseases of the stomach and liver. Druggists mark them as the most popular domestic remedies on their Iis', ?

There will be more hangings in Texas this year than in anv two States of the Union.?Dalhu Herald. The Reason Why.?Somebody ? a crusty old bachelor, of course ? inquires, Why, when Eve was manufactured of a spare rib, a servant was not made at the same time to wait on her. Somebody else?a woman, we imagine ? replies in the following strain : "Be? cause Adam never came whining to Eve with a ragged stocking to be darned, col? lar string to be sewed on, or a glove to mend ' right away?quick now 1' Because he never read the newspaper until the sun got down behind the palm trees, and stretching out, yawned,' isu't supper most ready, my dear?' Not he. He made the fire and hung the kettle on it himself, we'll venture; and pulled the radishes, peeled the potatoes, and did everything else he ought to do. He milked the cows, fed the chickens, and looked after the pigs himself, and he never brought home naif a dozen friends to dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates. He never staid out late at a political meeting, hur? rahing for an out-and-out candidate, and then scolding because poor Eve was sit? ting up and crying inside the gates. He never played billiards, rolled ten-pins and drove fast horses, nor choked Eve with cigar smoke. He never loafed around corner groceries while Eve was rocking little Cain's cradle at home. In short, he didn't think she was especially created for the purpose of waiting on him, and wasn't under the impression that it dis? graced a man to lichten a new wife's cares a little. That is the reason that Eve did not need a hired girl, and with it was the reason that her fair descendants did." B Not Ashamed.?The New York Tri? bune having in an evil moment remarked: {iIt should be understood that we are not ashamed of our past," the Louisville Courier-Journal hits it thus between the eyes: "Wc suppose not. The stealing of $3,000,000 from poor, defenseless negroes is nothing to be ashamed of, of course. Neither is the plunderof Southern whites, the disfrauchisement, again and again accomplished, of Democratic voters any? thing to be ashamed of, of course. Nor do we suppose the Republican party is ashamed of the enormous crime of steal? ing the presidency, and its habitual use of fraud, perjury and force in 1876-77; nor is it ashamed of its bold robbery of the public funds; its enormous waste of the public money, wrenched from the tax payers by grinding taxation, on po? litical favorites. Nor is it ashamed of tbe scrubby, and dishonest and drunken officials it "has put in office; of the hide j ous corruption it has fostered everywhere, nor of its dishonest and anti-republican \ programme for 1880. The Republican party has passed beyond the feeling of I shame. It is the embodiment of mere? tricious cheek." True Fahmino.?The true farmer is I he who raises big crops and at the same I time improve his land; who understands bis business, attends to it and does it; whose stock are of the best and in the : best condition; whose fences are always I in good repair; whose farm buildings are ' commodious and neat; whose dwelling has the appearance of the home of civil? ized people; whose corn crib and smoke house are full of corn and meat raised [ by himself; who is surrounded by all the necessaries and comforts of life; who studies his profession and strives to reach the perfection of farm economy,, and knows at the end of the year exactly* what he has made, what he has expend? ed and how he stands with the world, i He may not cultivate largely; he may be only that despicable thing, a "patch farmer," but in reality he is incalculably a better farmer than the "fine," the "splendid" and the "biggest planters \ out," and the time is rapidly approach? ing when to follow his improved system, emigrate or starve, will be the only al? ternative left to those who now despise agricultural improvement, boast of nev? er reading an agricultural book or jour? nal, and fancy what they don't know is not worth knowing. ?

Agent. 45 Years Before the Public. THE CENU2NE DR. C. BEcLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVBE PILLS, for the cure of Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, dyspepsia. and sick headache. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; stfmctimcs the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There L generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ac;ue and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BETT AHE OF JIXITATIOXS. The genuine arc never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Livkk. Fills. The genuine McLank's Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLanr and fleming Duos, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Flem? ing Iiros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name JHcLanef spelled differently but ?amc pronunciation. LIVER This important organ weighs but about three pounds, and all the blood in a living person (about three gallons) passes through it at least once every half hour, to nave the bile and other impurities strained or filtered fron it. Bile is the natural purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car? ried through the veins to all parts of the system, and in trying to escape through the pores of the skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys? pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bili? ousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles, Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol? low. Merrell's H cpatink, the great vegetable discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one to two ounces of bile each time the blood passes through it, as long as there is an ex? cess of bite; and the effect of even a few doses upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking skin, will astonish all who try it?they being the first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bili? ous diseases and Liver complaint is made certain by taking Hepatite in accordance with directions.
