COLUMBIA, S. ?C. Tuesday Morning, Kovember 10,1873. ' Rcqalescat In Pace, The remains of Dr. LaBorde were bommitted to mother earth.on Sonday afternoon. Friends and strangers alike, the young and old, the humble and dis? tinguished, all reverently gathered abont the bier, testifying their respect, nnd paying the last sad tribnto to de? parted worth.. The summons whiob reaohed him from on high ho met with ? a Christian's resignation and willing oomplianoe. The Master called and he was found ready to depart, lie has gone to the realm whero tbo wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest, leaving behiu^ a rich legauy for his obildren, in tho memory of good deeds, gentle thoughts, a pure lifo filled with active duties, and in the fragrance of an exquisite example of virtue, piety, tenderness and affection. Dr. LaBordo wua of French doscent, his father having emigrated to this country from Bordeaux, in France. He was born in the village of Edgefield, in this State, on the 5th of June, 1801. Ho was prepared for college at the academy of Mr. J. O. Oaldwell, after? wards Chp.uoollor, and entered it in 1819. He was graduated in 1821, and returning to Edgefield, road law there for two years, in the office oi McDufflo & Simkins. Being too yonug for admis oion to the bar, he was induced to tnrn his thoughts to the medical profession. He. entered the Medioal College of Charleston in 1824, and was a member of the first olass which weut fortb as graduates in 182G. For several years he practiced medicine in hia native village and diatriot. We recollect a meeting of the State Medical Society, in this place, a few yeare ago, to which Dr. LaBorde was invited as an honorary member. His address on that occasion, abound? ing in reminiscences of the early days of 'the Medioal College, and of tbo medioal: fraternity in the Slate, with an account of the practice then in vogue in the country, was one of the moat . agreeable, and amusing featnres of tho , evening. y,i ,??a Apart from his regular professional employments, Dr. LaBorde has been a busy man, both in ohnroh and State. For many years, he was a regent of the State Lunatic Asylum, and a long time chairman of the. board. In this posi? tion, lie was an enlightened and humane advisjr. His reports of the condition of the institution, memorials to the Legislature, addressee, ?a, were all oo: oeivod in an earnest spirit, and were, at the same time, eminently practical. During the oivil war, his zaul was con? spicuous for the interests and comfort of the soldiers. He was chairman of the "Central Association," of Columbia, which received from all parts of tho State supplies, olothing, bats, shoes, etc., and forwarded them to the armies, and distributed them to the soldiers in the field. To curry on this business successfully, to secure und regulate tho safe transmission of, at times, several oar-loads a week, required uncommon energy and unflagging industry. Dr. LaBorde'sresources of practical manage? ment, of deep interest in the work, proved equal to the demands of the oc cniiou. The Central Association bo came an institution which worked bene? ficently in relieving BUfforiug uud dis? tress, and in carrying consolation to the war-worn soldiers, strengthening their hands and nerving their courage in de? fence of home and country. Dr. LaBordo early showed au inclina tion to literature. While at Edgefield, he was, for a considerable time, editor of the Advertiser, published ut that place, ilia oontribntions were well re? ceived, and his humorous sketches of agricultural matters, particularly, were widely read and enjoyed. He was chosen a member of tho Legislature, and, at the oloae of his term, was elected in 1830 Secretary of State. He served as a member of the Board of Trustjos of the South Carolina College for some time. Finally, in Daoember, 1812, ho was elected Professor of Logic and Belles Let Ires, and became fixed in the Position for life. From thut day to within a month past, amid many changes in the organization of tho College itself, and in the chairs pf instruction, he has oontinned to fill one of theso, tho duties appertaining to it having several times undergone modifications while in his hands. As a professor, Dr. LaBordo was dili? gent, punctual, studious and conscien? tious. He was faithful to the iinportuut trusts which he assumed. He tunght no less forcibly by example than by pre? cept. He sought to make his depart? ment of instruction honored and ro t i . * speoted, bringing into his protections the' researches of master minds, to on rich, enlarge and enforce his own inde? pendently formed conclusions. In dis oiplino, he steered discreetly between] tbe extreme? of too great rigor, oa the one head, and too large indulgence on tbe other. While, therefore, he was. diligent himself, and exacting of dili-, geuoe and application from the young men, he oonoiliated their regard, and showing himself to be their friend, se? cured an unueual measure of their per? sonal esteem and friendship in return. In the eocioty of his colleagues, he was everything that oould bo desired. He was genial, oordial and frank in a re? markable degree. When serious busi? ness, in wbioh he always took earnest in? terest, was over, noue better than he knew how to unbend the bow. His uatural gaiety, of spirit coustautly overflowed with sparkling repartco aud apposite an aedoto. Besides contributions to current and periodioal literature, iu tho press of Columbia, tho Courant, a weekly issued here by H. H. Oaldwell, Russell's Maga? zine and the Souiherti Quarterly Review, Dr? LaBorde has produced nud pub? lished the following works: 1. Introduc? tion to Physiology, a text book pro pared in 1855 and used in his classus? the duty of instruction iu this brauch being at that time devolved upon him. 2. History of South Carolina College, an ootavo volume, which appeared in 1859. A supplement in manuscript, bringing down the history to the oloso of the College, iu 1865, exists among his papers. 3. Story of Lethea and Ve? rona?a pleasing domestic story, written aud inscribed to his young daughters, printed iu 1860, in Columbiu. Iu his History of the College, Dr. LaBorde was engaged in a work of lovu, the labor upon whioh, though some? times Bad, was grateful aud engaging. It includes sketches?biographical, lite? rary and critical?of the Presidents and Professors of tbe College, involving a running history of the institution itself. It is a very interesting volume. Tho pen portraits of Maxcy, Cooper, Nott, Park, Ellett, Barnwell, Prestou, Henry, Thornwell, Lieber and others, are. life? like. They are given with rich coloring, but the lineaments are true to nature and to truth. It will be tbe grateful offioe of some one with a spirit as loviog and appreciative as that Dr. LaBorde haa himself exhibited iu this agreeable work, to add au account of his own literary life and labors, to be added to the collection. This will not be a task of great difficulty, for his oareer baa been one on wbioh the historian will de? light to dwell, and he will find, as has been well said, "an admirable reflected likeness of him in the spirit with which he sketches others; in the appreciative and cordial tone; in the keou percep? tion; iu tho varied discussions of diverse points, and, above all, iu tho eulargod views and catholic charities that purvade tbe work." At thu oloie of his discourse, last Sunday morning, in Trinity Church, Bight Rev. Bishop Howe alluded iu the following beautiful and fcoliug terms to tbe loss which tho church hud sustained: "You will not, I trust, my dour breth? ren of Trinity Church, think it untimely or out qf place, or in any way usurping tbe place of your beloved Rector, if, before I release you, and iu entire har? mony with tho subject whioh I have been considering, I refer iu thu very briefest manner to tho shadow which, on my secoud visitation, I find retting npoo tho parish, in tho death of ouu who had tho esteem and love of you all; who had. for thirty years, been your friend nud ueighbor; who hud, for that length of tiino, taken part in all that oouoorned this congregation; who hits worshipped with you ia theso courts; who has drawn near with you to the obuucol-gate, to receive the bread which oomoth down from Heaven; who bus presided over your vo?try, nud has long and lovingly upheld tho bauds of your pastor; aud whose earthly remains arc soon, to receivo their sepulture. But "sorrow not, my dour brethrou, even as others who bavo no hope; for, if wo be? lieve that Jesus died aud roso again, even so them also who sleep iu Jesus will God bring with Him.' Bouud closely to you iu all tbo trials and anxie? ties of the past half-soore years und more, we doubt not that, uuder them nil, ho drew nearer and nearer to Him who at the last made all his bed in bis sickness, aud who helped him, amid tho mutations and perturbations of tbe times, to look upward to tbo city that 'bath foundations whoso builder and maker is God.' Trusting simply to tbe merits of tbe Redoemer nud His pre? cious blood-shedding, ho weut out of tbe body, 'having the testimony of a good conscience, in tbe commuuiou of tho catholic church, in the oonfideuoe of a certain faith, in tbo eomfort of a rea? sonable religious and holy hope, in favor with God and iu porfeot charity with the world,' and now waits for tho dawning of the glorious day, when 'beauty nhall be given him for ashes, tho oil of joy for mourning, and the garments of praise for tho spirits of heaviness.' " Last woek an important grange meet? ing was hold in Atlanta, Ga. It was re? solved that the Atlanta grange would send 8,000 bales of cotton by tho Fort Royal Dominion line (whatever that is) direct to Liverpool during tbo Boason. Tbe gato money at tbo Georgia State Pair amounted to between 320,000 and $30,000. EXTRA SESSION Or J.KOIBLATUJ&Ka , Monday, NovKMBxa 10,1878. [ m ?: 8ENATB. ...

Mr. Hope introduced a resolution, that tbo Committee on Education bo directed to thoroughly review tbe Free School Acts, and amend tbe same by bill or otherwise. Tbe concurrent resolution to iuve6ti Igate the affairs of tbo Bank of the State was indefinitely postponed. At 1.35, tbe Senate adjourned. , HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE?. Tbo House met at 7.30 P.

The enacting clauses of the following bills were stricken out: To amend nu Act entitled "An Act to amend Section 2, Chapter XXV, of the General Sta? tutes;" to regulate tbe liability of hotel keepers; to regulate tbe salary and fees of Trial Justices in tho County of Ches? ter. A bill to provide an expeditious man? ner of abating nuisances, was postponed until tbe regular session.

A bill to make appropriation to pay claims of the South Carolina Bauk aud Trust Company against the State was made the special order for to-morrow, ot 11 A. M. The Committee on Ways und Means was authorized to report, on or before the 15th day of this month, a bill to pro? vide for tbe payment of members of the General Assembly, referred to them somo days since. At 9 P. M., tbo House adjourned until to-morrow, at 10 A. M. The news from Havanu of the shoot? ing of Gen.

He fre? quently bud difficulties iu tho hotel lobbies, generally following up a dis? cussion ou Cuban matters iu that way. Ho wus!about twenty-eight years of uge, and was well educated. Tbo Liberal Republican) are not all dead yet. Gen. N. P. Banks is again ascending thu political ladder from which with several others ho fell last full. This time he has beeu elected State Senator from tbe Middlesex Dis? trict, iu Massachusetts, over Copeland, the regular Grant candidate, by au overwhelming majority. Banks has carried every town iu the district. Wal tham, whioh is his home, gives him 760 majority, and he carries Copeland's town by a small majority. Additional interest is given to tbe result from tbe fact that Banks was badly boaten for Congress in tbo samo towns last year, and that Copolaud was thon his chief antagonist. It is vory unfortunate that so many of tho refugees from Memphis, Tenu., should bavo been induced to return to tbeir homes while tho city was still scourged by tho postilonco. Tho cir? cular of the board of health inviting them to return would seem to have been an ill advised action ou the part of tho board, for a numbor of tbe returned absentees have been stricken down by the merciless plague, and some of them must pay with their lives tbo penalty of their rashness in too soon ruturning to tbo oity. Richmond (Aagusta) factory goads have been reduced iu price.

Wood dealers were in despair over the warm weather, yesterday. Bawls' music store is the centre of attraction. The patent organs are uni? versally admired. At the Pollock House, can be ob? tained the fiuest cigars and chewing tobacco. The now stylo of gentlemen's collars ia aaid to be modeled after those worn by "end men" in minstrel troupes. The old Pollock House is still afloat. They havo tho boat of Neuse River, Norfolk and Charleston oysters. Fine's large Norfolk oysters, on the half shell, uro all the rnge. A half dozen is a good mess for an ordiuury eater. Qodey's Lady's Book?lot December ?the old stand-by, has been received from Mr. R. L. Bryan. It is as spicy as ever. Persons indebted to tho Pucsxix office, are requested to call and settle, us money is needed. The cash rule will be strictly adhered to hereafter. A curd from Mr. Culcutt, of the new hotel, appears in another column. Tho building is centrally located, the terms are low and the faro excellent, A freight train on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad broke down, yesterday, near Florence, which detained tho passenger train several hours. Mr. Dial has brought out a peouliurly fancy Ump and reflector for Messrs. Perry & Slawsou, of the "Indian Girl" cigar store. It reflects all tho colors of the rainbow. Gen. R. D. Lilley, of Virginia, who vhited this city lust spring, in behalf of tbo South Caroliua chair in the Washington and Lee University, is at tho Wheeler House. Messrs. J. H. Kinard k Co. inform visitors and residents of their wherea? bouts through the columns of this morn? ing's PncuNix. The house is an old and reliable one. Special passenger truins are to be run over the Greenville and Columbia Rail? road, between Helena and Columbia, and return, on Wednesday and Thurs? day, November 12 and 13. Mr. C. F. Jackson, who claims to bo the leader of low prices, is out with on announcement, this morning. Pur? chasers can easily provo the correctness of his assertions. The Paris pool system is to be inau? gurated in this city, this evening. A noted New Worker has the matter in charge, and will elucidate it in the store adjacent to the Pollock House. Mr. O'Hare, the famous pedestrian, is in Columbia, and is arranging to per? form his celebrated walking feats in this city. We see by the Georgia papers be has been walking six miles in an hour, and part of it backward. The beauty and variety of colors of the loaves on hbo trees in the old Arsenal grounds ure commented ou by many Silixens. They range from tho brijjVvl est green to the palest yellow. A walk I in that vicinity will repay any one. I Our neighbors, MfeoBM. Holtenau & Albrecht, put forth a tempting bill of fare, this morniug. They keep u varied slock?iiah, flesh and fruit. Muny articles called for by house-keepers are ready for tablo use. The weather, for several days, has been delightful?words fail to express it. Columbia, yesterday, reminded us of the good old ante-bellum times. The side-walks were thronged with ladies, while the road-ways were ?llod with vehicles. Mr. McKenzie has established a branch of bis establishment at tho Fair Grounds, where delioacios of all kinds will be dispensed. A large stock of toys, French and plain confeotionery, fruits, fancy urticlos, etc, are to be seen and dispensed at the old establishment. The plans for the new obnroh edifice, to be built by tho congregation over which Professor Babbitt presides, havo been completed. Tho building will be an imposing struoturo, situated at the corner of Plain and Marion streets, and will be known as St. Luke's. Messrs. J. A.

We regret to learn that tho gin-house of Mr. H. Heine, near Bidgeway, was destroyed by fire on Sunday evening last. A quautity of choice seed was consumed; lo6u about ?900. No insur? ance. Tue "esteusivo demund for groceries has enabled Messrs. John Agnew & Son, of tho old-established grocery, to re duco their prices still further. Read the advertisement, und profit by the infor? mation it contains. Cash is the thing, after all. Visitors to tho Fair Grounds, who wish au article to revive drooping spirits, can find anything in that line at tho stand kept by Mr. J. C. Seegers. His lager beer will be furnishod fresh and cool to the thirsty. The goods kept in his store will bo duplicated at tho grounds. PiiOssjxiANA.?When your pocket book gets empty, and everybody knows it, you can put all your friends in it and it wou't "bulgo out" worth a cent. Whut is the difference between a farmer und a bottle of whiskey? One husbands the corn and tho other corns tho husbands. Tux Races.?The races over the well arranged track of the Auxiliary Joint Stock Association will be inaugurated to-day. The grand stand will accommo? date several thousand, and a fall view of tho entire, track can be readily .had. The racing will commence at 2 o'clock.

Langford, Spotted Tail. The Watkins Troupe.?The repre seutation of the "Hidden Hr: d," last evening, by this favorite troupe, was a decided success. We have not had so good a laugh iu many a day, and we write, of course, in a most grateful mood. Rose Watkins is inimitable in Capitol i, and Harry Watkins superb as Wool. The old Virginian, with his gusts of temper and hie generous senti? ments, was highly creditable to Mr. Mack. Black Donald was also excel? lent. Little Amy Lee acts and sings as sweetly as she is pretty and pleasing. Tho songs illustrative of life on the plantation were all well rendered, and the dances und acting capitally done. The house was a good ono, but it ought to have been oveifiowing, and we hope ,to Bee it largely increased at tho next i*oprc.Wntations. To-night, "Trodden Down" is to be giveu, and will draw out the full talent of the corps. The season is at hand for batter-cakes. Tho natural man hankers after them these cool moruiugs, just as in early spring ho must eat something greeu or perish! To us batter-cakes havo a manifold charm und interest. -There is a mystery iu tho way they are put to? gether so us to be light and good. There is a positive fascination in watch? ing tho cook turn them on tho griddle. It looks so easy?and is not, as wo tried once, aud found out. King Alfred, the Great, too, is inextricably associated in our mind with griddle-cakes; there was a picture to that effect in the Child's History of England, and that much his? tory we have alv,-ayc felt sure of* ne?rly all tho rest being more or less uncertain; specially dates. Cooks all profess to know how to havo them perfect?that is, tho cakes?and tho wretches, after you havo oaten sparingly of every dish on the table, awaiting the moment of ex? pected gratification, send in a plate of horrors, pale-faced, lop sided, jagged edged miseries, that might incite a man to murder. Tho little housewife who presides over the tea urn says, medita? tively, "Cook must havo forgotten-" What the last word is you don't hear, as in pronouncing it sho slips from the room, and is absent a minute. Pre? sently (ho girl brings in mote cakes. Ye Heavens above, what a change] They are round, and small, and brown, und piled iu a symmetrical little stack, and joy has come back into your life, and you eat and are comforted, and wonder more than over before.

Washington despatches, of the 3d, state that tbo project favored by Go? vernor Walker and others, of assuming the Southern State debts, will bo re? newed by General Ben. Butler this ses? sion, at least to the extent of twenty five per cent. There was a lobby in Washington, last winter, nrging the measure on Congress, and as theao debts are chiefly owned by Northern oities, a pressure from that quarter may be ex? pected, including such parties as Henry Clews and others, allies aud copartners of the carpet-baggers. It is uot be? lieved that this little job will stand muoh show bofore Congress. Judge Robert Ouid, iu a reoent politi? cal sprech at Richmond, gave some statistics compiled from the census, showing that Now England educates twelve per cent, of their colored popu? lation. This, he claims, was a good showing for Virginia, since she has ac? complished, in two years, nearly as much in this dircotion as New England bus iu 100 years. Few things are tnnro oiien prodicted than tbo end of the world, and that event as frequently obstinately lefasea to oomo off. Tbo Adventists of Terry Island, Connecticut, predicted that it would oomo off on the 5th November, aud those deluded people havo bad one of tbe most agreeable surprises?they Snd themselves still in this world, in? stead of being somewhere else.
