Reform as m Party Ueaian.
The tidal wave of reform haa struck
Radical South Carolina. The ory
which has been caught up and Bang
throughout the North has waked the
echoes evon hero. The exposure of the
misrule and' corf option in our x> rostrate
State, the burning nod scathing de?

commenced to sting themselves. Bat
some, in order to divertattention from
their own crimes, cunningly join in
the hue and ory, and Idetily bawl "stop
" thief." It is' a well.known dodge, one
often attended with temporary enooecs,
bat an re to be exposed, and to entail
heavier p?nielitneufc at la?t.
Wo donot, by. any. means, bqwbver,
wish lb imply that this iB the hqIo effect
ofitbe disoaasipn of onr.affairs by the
independent press of the. country. It

With the violated platform of its party

expectations of improvement upon the

Tbe Herald might well afford to wel?

are well qaalified by their experience,

It ought not to repel them by showing
that it caunot appreciate their useful?

and submit to indignity. They are
willing to lend a helping hand to pull
tho State out of tho mire, bat they are
not aspirants for office, aud, least of

It is to ns tbe most unfavorable sign
that we see, that the most advanced
and most enlightened element of tbe

stantly prone to make reform itself a
party privilege, committing it as an
exclusive enjoyment to tha party which
baeoruoifled the honor and buried the

Theio seems to have been a change
of taotios on the part of the com
for Governor Moses, before the court
at Orangeburg, on Friday. It is
stated in the report of the matter pub?
lished in the Orangeburg News, of
yesterday, that Mr. Chamberlain was
engaged all the. morning in getting up
affidavits, to show that the Governor
oonld not get a fair trial there. This
oonld only have been in aooordanoe
with the purpose of moving for ohango
of venue. W.hen the case was oalled
and thta Governor did hot respond, the
Solicitor moved that a'benoh warrant
be forthwith issued to compel hie at?
tendance. Judge Cy.aham, T did not
grant the order/ wbioh would have,
bean in keeping with the proceedings,
of lust week. He desired to hear the
defendant's oounsel, and Mr. Moise,
of. ?uuuter, who had been entered as
oho of his counsel, urged upon the
co?tt that no true bill ' had beeu
found, and therefore no beuoh warrant
had been-issued, or could be issued.
This was,a new line of defence alto?
gether!. -Whereupon the Judge stated
that he* was'"impressed." and was now
troubled- with nlpubts os to :wheiher
thu court bud jurisdiction or not. He
wan even more impressed by the views
of Elliott, who contended that a Go?
vernor! oonld not be arrested uutil
after be was impeached. Tue upstart
of it all was that bis Honor the Judgo
reserved his decision, as to jurisdiction,
add''continued the case till next oonrt.
The Solicitor stated that the Go
voruot'n counsel had pledged that he
would attend for trial. He and the
oonrt had aoted upon that understand?
ing. In urging upon the court to fix
upon the 29th as the day for trial, and
to sever the oases, Elliott and Cham?
berlain had represented that they wore
authorized by their client to assure the
oonrt that he (Moses) recognized the
foil jurisdiction'of the court to arrest
and try him for the said offenoe; and
they further assured the conrt that the
defendant Moses would be this day
present Tor the trial,; and upon these
assnrauoss the court granted said mo?
tions and. suspended further proceed?
ings to oanae the arrest of the said
Moses.
We do hot undertake to judge the
points of law raised on oithor side.
The ooort may. or may not have had
jurisdiction, the Governor may or may
not have boon liable to arrest. No
doubt godd arguments oonld be con?
structed on either bido. But no lawyer
Or judge can mako a good defenoe of
a breach of' faith. Moses and his
counsel were pledged to stand the
trial. One of them took pains to deny
that he advised hie client to refuse to
accept servioo of the writ. We sup?
pose he did. But i*. would have been
better to have so adviacd him than to
hava agreed to the trial, to havo fixed
the day, ahd then not kept faith with
the c?urt and country. Tun new tack,
it IB true, was initiated by a new man,
but the counsel lirst engaged were pre?
sent and assisting, und consenting at
leust. Good morals were violated iu
the introduction of a new proposition,
und in the efforts of a now counsellor,
who had suoh tremendous power iu
impressing the court with his views.

Journal, of that city:
Rev. Albert M. Sbipp, D. D., is a
native of Lincoln County, N. 0,, and
bus now roaobod tbe fifty-fourth year
of bis age. He was converted while a
student of the .University of North
Carolina, and maintained bis faith and
practice through an ordeal inoideut to
oollego life, which at once oommauded
the respect of and gave him much in
ifluence with his fellow-students. Gra
I duating at the head of his olass, he at
once connected himself with the South
Caroliua Ooufereuco, (in 18-11,) and
before the close of bis second year as a
traveling preacher, exhibited that high
order of talent, caruest devotion, burn?
ing seal and glowing pulpit eloquence,
whiob soon after marked him as among
the most prominent and promising
young preaohers of his day. After
seven years of most successful pasto?
rate service, he was called to tho presi?
dency of Greensboro (N. O) Female
College. His eminent fitness and
ability as an instructor of youth, as
well as his fine administrative quali?
ties, were here soou developed, and
after efficient service in the professor?
ship of Iuh almn mater, was called to
tho presidency of Wofford College, ut
Spartanbnrg, S. C, whiuh honored po?
sition ho has held with eminent useful?
ness and success for the past fifteen
years. Under his administration,
through many difficulties of financial
loss incident to aud resulting from tho
war, Wofford has growu iu popular
favor and reputation, and now stands
abreast among the leading educational
institutions of the country. Dr. Shipp
has uow received u call to the profes?
sorship of Vanderbilt University, and
will leave South Carolina with tho pro?
found regret of the Methodists of that
Stute, besides numerous other frieuds,
who will over cherish the warmest re?
collections of him.
Rev. F. Millou Kennedy, D. D., is
a native of South Caroliua, und was
born Ut Colombia, January 13; 1831.
Iu boyhood; while those characteris?
tics of geniality and high social spirit
which, now chastened and accom?
plished, constituto a most attractive
feature of his manhood's prime, were
paramount in theexuberunce of youth,
yet there was then visible the results
of devoted parental training, and the
germ of a fundamental growth of
evangelical principle aud character
that seemed to mark him us a worthy
successor, as a minister of tho Gospel,
of his loved and huuored father, de?
ceased. Graduating unspotted and
with distinction ut tbe Conference In?
stitution at Gukeabury, S. C, he con?
nected himself with the itinerant work
in 1854, aud has ever einco been one
of the most acceptable and promising
members of the South Carolina Con?
ference. Daring the late war?from
1862 to its close?he served as chap?
lain in Geueral Lee's urmy, and the
testimony of many sick und wounded
soldiers of that heroic band, could it
now be addooed, would speak of his
unfaltering devotion amid the perils
aud sacrifices of the camp and field.
As a pastor and preacher, he has won
upon the hearts of the people to an
unusual extent; as presiding elder, his
administrations wore successful, and
at editor of the Southern Christian Ad?
vocate, whiob position he now held?,
his abilities and usefulness have been
yet more Conspicuously seen aud felt.
Imbued with the lively zeal of the
pare spirit of Methodism, his fresh
and ornate style as a writer has added
much to the popularity of the Adoo
cats, and greatly increased its circula?
tion. '??;'-??! j , \
Rev. H. JV- WAl6?J*cwas born in
County Antrim,' Ireland, 'August 3,
1809, and emigrated In his . father's
family, arriving at Charleston, South
Carolina, November, 1820, and settling
in Chester District in December fol?
lowing, and afterward in Fun field. He
joined tbe Methodist Cuuroh near
SViunsboro, in September, 1828. Wus
licensed to exhort soon afterward; to
preach in July, 1830, and assigned to
work by Rev. W. M. Kennedy, presid?
ing elder of the Columbia Dutrict, in
September following. Received on
trial into the South Carolina Confer
eooe February, 1831. and into full con?
nection February, 1831. Since then,
except three yeurs, closing September,
1800, when ho labored iu Kentucky,
has been iu South Carolina Confer?
ence. He wus n member of tbe Geue?
ral Conference of 1841, of tho conven?
tion in L'iuisvillo of 1815, and of each
Geueral Conference held since. Was
also elected to the General Conference,
whiob, hut fur the war theu iu progress,
would tiuve beeu held in New Orleans
iu 1802 Ho is one of the most influ?
ential members of thu South Caroliua
Conference. As a preacher, hu is sonud,
logical and forcible. With his subject
thoroughly digested, tho divine law
and gospel are expounded by bim with
little of verbiage, imagery or senti?
ment, as though the preaching of the
Word to its saving effect has the para?
mount object coustantly felt aud iu
view.
Rev. Wm. H. Fleming, D. D., is a
uative of Charleston, S. C, joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church when a
boy, aud entered the South Caroliua
Conference in 1811. From tho begin?
ning of his pulpit efforts, the orguuio
features which go to ornate success iu
the ministerial office were exhibited by
bim. His happily constituted social
structure, to au unusual degree, fitted
him for the difficult aud delicate duties
of the pastor, while his ready speech,
fine elocution, clear head and animated
zeal gave him power in the pulpit,
flat it is probably chiefly in the ad?
ministrative functions of tho presiding
eldership that his force and ad apt a
bilsty of character bas stamped the
deepest impress ripoo the church of
his love., xn the Performance of,-the
duties of this office be has been emi?
nently 'successful. As the presiding
officer of tho Quarterly Conference,
i when difficult and complex questions
In the construction of law, aa affecting
tcobtending parties, have arisen, his
rulings and administration have ex?
hibited a balanoing of the scales of
justice whioh have never failed to ren?
der satisfaction. The steady apprecia?
tion aud confidence of his brethren
have been manifested iu his re-election
to tho General Conference for three
successive terms, and in hia continua?
tion in the oOloe of Presiding Elder.
The degree of D. D. was conferred
upon him by Trinity College, N. C,
aud worthily.
Rev. John W. Kelly was horn Janu?
ary 29, 1825, iu Uuiou District, S. C,
near Fish Dam, on Broad River. Ho
is of Irish extraction on the puternu]
side, his mother springing from the
Bufords and Simses, of Hanover, Vu.
Hin early education was irregular and
partial at country schools. Was en?
gaged three yeurs at furm labor pre?
vious to his seventeenth year. The
influences of homo for the formation
of moral habits wore strong, while he
wsb not wanting for opportunities to
gain religious knowledge, but the
habit of novol reading, iudulged
against parental advice, exerted a bane?
ful influence nud doubtless deferred
the period of his coming to Christ.
Ho was couvorted at Oave Creek camp
meeting, iu September, 1841, and ad?
mitted ou probation in tbe South
Carolina Coufereroe Febrnury 18,
.1814, Bishop Soulo presiding. Was
sent to California in 1h51, aud there,
with the true zeal und devotion of a
missionary of tbe Gospel of the blessed
God, performed tbo arduous service of
that work, in t he midst of its privations
and trials, until returner] by thu same
Bishop in December, 1853. lie is among
tho most laborious, active aud eflimeut
preachers and pastors of his Confer?
ence, aud, as Presiding Elder, baa
served tho obureh much to tho satis?
faction of his brethren. With a gash?
ing, emotional nature, a geuerous
heart, all alive to the purer uud gentler
aud nobler motives inspired by the
love of God, his pulpit appoals and ex?
hortations aro often invested with irre?
sistible power, melting his hearers to
tears.
Sidi Hamet Browuo was born iu
Pendleton District, (now called Ander?
son County,) S. C, September 23,
1819. An uti effective member of the
South Carolina Conference from De?
cember, 1815, to the present, he has
served on circuits, stations and dis?
tricts. Ho is now, as he was last year,
tho appointed agent of the Columbia,
S. C. Femaio College In addition to
the regular work in the Conference, he
has for more than six years been
editor and proprietor of the Christian
Neighbor. This peace journal, wbioh
was founded by Hr. B., April 2, 18?B,
sticks to the text?"Christianity and
war are incompatible." Mr. Browne
was one of tho leading spirits in the
organization (October, 1872,) of the
South Carolina Peace Society, and was
then chosen President, and was re
elected at the lost annual meeting of
the society. lie is one of the strong
preachers of the South Carolina Con?
ference. Arriving at his conclusions
from matured thought, they are forci?
bly announced and eliminated by
simple illustration, until made to stand
in lucid light before tho mind's eye.
Ee is possessed of an unusual amount
of resolution and industry. Tho es?
teem in which he is held personally,
and as preacher aud editor of the
Neighbor, is shown iu his selection by
so large a body of accomplished aud
devoted ministers as one of their rep?
resentatives in the grand quadrennial
law-making body of the churoh.

Fatal diseases may be caused hy allow?

nod the system to remain iu a disor?

an old nud truthful sayiug. Therefore,
we advise all who aro trcubled with tho
complaints now very prevalent?head?
ache, indigestion, disordered liver,
want of appetite, nnmea, or feverish
skin, to take, without delay, Scbeuck's
Muudrako Pills. Wo know of no
remedy so harmless aud decisive in its
action. It at once strikes ut tho root
of tho disease and produces a healthy
tone to the]Bystem. People never need
suffer from any disease arising from a
disordered condition of tho liver, if
they would take this excellent medi?
cine when they feel the first indica?
tions of tho malady. Families leav?
ing homo for thu summer mouths
should tako three or four boxen of
these pills with them. They have an
almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient of headache iu cue
or two hours, and will rapidly oleauso
tho liver of surrounding bile, uud will
effectually prevent a bilious attack.
