COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning. January 3, 1869. Th?i Dissolution of the Oonrt of Equity. There was a very general attendanoo of the members of the Bar in the Equity Court Boom yesterday, says the Charleston Cou? rier, of the 1st. It waa generally known that by the aotion of the late Constitutional Convention, tho Court of Equity would cease to exist on the 1st day of January, 1869, and the Bar deemed it due the emi? nent services rendered by Chancellor Le ?osue, to evince some token of esteem and respoot. Ex-Chief Justice Dunkin, Master Jas. W. Gray and Register Jas. L. Gantt were in the Court Room, which was filled by lawyers of Charleston. Hon. Jas. Si? mons, on behalf of the Bar, arose and aftor a few remarks, read tho following prcamblo and resolution: The Bar of Charleston have assembled this day, upon which, according to the pre? sent arrangement of the government of this State, the Court of Equity, as a sepa? rate judicial orgauization, is to terminate its existence. An organization that has sub? sisted since t'-o first settlement of this State, that had its origin and derived its history from that country from which our system of jurisprudence bas sprung. A system which bas been adorned, honored and illustrated by the loftiest character, the most aoouvate and extensive erndition, and has, in the course of time, impressed itself npon tho respect and consideration of tho people of South Carolina, will now give way to these fresh notions of progress that havo overturned the dogmas and teacbiugs of wisdom and experience. It is, therefore, not a matter of surprise that tho Bar of Charleston, participating with the largest portion of the intelligence of tho State, can not part with thin ancient and time-honored institution, without expressing their regret at its departure, and testifying their vene? ration for the departed judges who ouco here presided and their esteem and respect for those whoso places aro now to bo vacat? ed. The Bar of Charleston have therefore resolved that the foregoing preamble ex? presses their views and sentiments on this occasion : Resolved, That in taking leave of tho non. Henry Deas Lesesne, now presiding iu this Court, the Bar of Charleston hereby testify their sense of his character and integrity ns a mao, his ability and learning as a Judge, and bis uniform courtesy and kindness as a presiding magistrate-with their best wishes for his tuture prosperity. The Hon. Wilmot G. DeSaussure.[rose, and in a few happy and touching remarks, endorsed on behalf of the Bar, the prcam? blo and resolution. He alluded to tho fact that his name bad for over eighty years been conuectcd with tho Court of Equity, either as practitioner, or a3 presiding chan? cellor^ Surrounded hy those who, by their ability and lenrniug, bad ministered in tho templo of justice, whoso doors woro about to bo closed, ho rendered his hearty tribute to all that had been said, and desired to mingle his voice with that of the Bar, iu approbation of those who bad presided over its ministrations, and ia reprobation of that spirit of mis-named progress, which would uproot uud desolato au honored past. At tho conclusion of Mr. DeSaussure's remarks, Chancellor Lesesne rose, aud spoke ?with evident and impressivo feeling. He stated that the compliment thus paid him by his brethren of tho bar had been as un? looked for ns it was grateful. His life had boen passed among bis own people aud in the home of bis nativity. The honor which had been tendered bim in this unexpected tributo was peculiarly acceptable, and to the end af his life he could not but feel grateful for such a noble tcstituouial of his discharge of duty, and of his having preserved tito warm appreciation and friendship of tho bar. Ho return? rt. bis thanks again for their renewed confidence uud their expression of .sentiments, and extended both to the State, the people and the bar, his kindest wishes for their prosperity and happiness. Hon. James B. Campbell, at the conclu? sion of Chancellor Lesesne's remarks, said that there was not a henrt that did not vibrate to tho breaking up of thc court as a calamity. Scarcely any event could bo moro of a calamity. Tho occasion put a great responsibility upon the largest convo? cation of tho bar ever assembled, to avert as far aa possible, the calamity, and to alloviato its effects. The responsibility for tho futuro rested upon thc bar and nowhere else. It was with tho legul profession that the liber? ties of tho people aro alone secure. Right never died. It might be trodden nuder, but trodden ont never. Chancellor Lesesuo then rose in his seat, and amid the gravest silence and tho deepest feeling, said: "I now annouuee this court closed." Tims has passed from existeuce, a tribu? nal which dates its foiiudation from the earliest settlement of tho State. For years tho Court of Equity ha? been presided over by the best talent of our State. Through its channel, justice and equity have been administered with an even baud alike to the poor aud rich, and we cannot but express a regret at its destruction. Tho ugo, however, advances, ucv, ideas ure propagated, and iu obedience to tho new order of things, wo must submit even to tho sweeping away of this old and time-honored land-mark. Wo cannot regard it, however, but asa destruc? tion of ouo of tho brightest gems of our State. Tho officers of tho court havo earned tho coulidenco and esteem of our people, by the courteous administration of their func? tions, and theyvwill carry with them in their retirement from ollice tho best wishes of those with whom they have been thrown in contact. Tho World's Evangelical Allianco has re? commended the observance of tho first week of tho now year as a weok of prayer among Christians throughout the world.* That the South is rapidly developing in the great elements of prosperity-the great? est of all, industry-is one of the most gratifying facts of tho year. Sinee the late election, especially, there is apparent such a general turning from politics to private enterprises and labors, that Dixie begins to show like a new oountry. The South will very soon reconstruct herself in that way; and she never will in ?nj other. Happy day that BIIO bas begun to see it. - THE UNITED STATES COURT.-Hon. G. S.

And the gathering sheaves Tell us autumn's here. Now tho winds go loudly moaning Through the vales; Aud tho forest trees are groaning Mournful tales Of decays that swiftly gather, Of tho coming wintry weather, Of tho snow that like a feather Soon will full; And tho call Of death is sighing Over all tho rippling streams; Aud thc summer's lingering gleams Are sadly dying. Tis the waning, waning twilight Of the year That hovers now, all strangely bright. Bound us here; And soon tho year will pass away, Like the light of an autumn day, Adown old winter's dim highway To its tomb; And the gloom Of the silent land Will rest on tho bright years flown; And tho winds of time will moan O'er the dreamless band!
