II IB I an SOME PAST HISTORY Brought to Memory by (he Death of Judge Wallace AN EXCITING PERIOD The Stirring Events of 1876 RemInetcerces cf the Wallace House Hampton's Trlb ute to Wailac?. Tho Columbia Stato nays no tributo to the memory of Gon. Wa'laoo oould be more gratifying to his loved nnca than tho kind expressions from Gon "Wado HamptoD, who watohed Gon. w-.n-?rt'o ..?? i -i ~ . pnauu o vaivo iu vuu n?i buu vniu was Governor At tho time tliat Judgo Wallace was leader of tho Domooratio Hcu o of Representatives in 1K7(? To a ro| resentAtivo of Tho State God Hamilton expressed his regrot at the riea'h of Gon. Wallace. Ho said that * G n. Wallace's groat soldierly qualitiei were testified to by his rapid and deserved promotion; that hit rminonoo as a legislator is a matter of history and that his broad judioial mind <iuali tied him to prcsido in the dignified, able manner whioh characterized his long, true and faithful scivica on the bonoh. I sinocioly regrot his death," oonoluded Gon. Hampton Gen. llobcrt R Hemphill, of Abbo ville, who was a member of tho Wallsc3 House, spok.0 thus of Judgo Wal laoe: "My first acquaintance with Judge Wallacj was in 187(>whcn ho beoamo Speaker of tho historic Houso of Representatives whioh has sinoe that time boon known as tho Wallace Hou o Ilo was tho right man for that (ritioal timo. His courage, judg ment and discretion saved tho State from many evils. If he had not been Krfectly self-posscssod when tho State ouso was first entered a conflict would have onsued and all our pooplo would have booomo involved. Tho samo is iiue of tho timo whon tho Hcuie was oompcllcd to quit tho Stato Houso. He was an excellent presiding officer, impartial in hiB rulings and quiok in his decisions. Thoso who sorved with him will hear of his doath with profound sorrow. Ho was a bravo and patriotic soldior, a learned lawyer, an honorable counsellor and a just judgo. The Stato has lost ono of her noblest sons." Tho death of Gon. Wal laoe recalls Jl_ i ii i * - iriuiy 10 mo minas oi not a low tho exoiting socnos cnaotcd while South Carolina was in tho hands of a dual govornmont. Mr. John S. Vomer, matter of lliohland County, was a member of tho Wallaoo Ilouso, representing Ooonco County. Ilo p?y* a high tribute to tho oharaotor of Judgo Wallaoo. "That gentleman, ho Bays, was one of tho most ovon tempered men this State produced in tho closing years of tho last oontury. In all the (xoitement, when tragedy broodod oxer the law-making assemblios, Gen. Wallaoo was ooo), detcrminod and in full possession of tho situation." Referring tc the inaidonts of that tirno, Mr. Verner gavo a running statemont as to the pnnoipal happenings. In the general elootion of 187(5 the Demoorats oleotod a largo numbor of representatives to tho Gonoral Assembly, which had formorly boon overwhelmingly ltepublioan. Tho election of the delegations from Edgefield and Laurens oountics was contested, however. The Stato Douueratio cxcoutivo committee urged tho Domooratio mom bcrs oleet to report to Columbia prompt )y. This was dono and tho night bofore the assembling of tho Legislature the Demooratio representatives mot in Clark's hall at d in caucus nominated the following tiokot: W. 11. Wallaoo, Union, Speaker; Jno.T. Sloan, Sr. .Richland, clerk; W. B. Williams, of York, reading oleark; and John Brown, Barn won, uergoaub avarnis. The negro soorotary of Stato, llayno, had in the meantimo rofusod to grant certificates of olcotion to tho Domoeraotio oonteateos from Edgefield r.nd Laurens. Tho Republicans gathered in the 8tate capitol tho day tho Ooneral Assembly was oallcd to ordor and eleoted E. W. Maokoy, of Charleston, Speaker. Tho Drmccrats in a body, headed by tho Edgefield and Laurons delegations marohod to tho Siato capitol, but were refused admission. Whereupon John (J. Shoppard, of Edgefield, delivered a protest. Tho eapitol building was in charge of Federal troops commanded by Qen. ltugcr. The Demoorats then marohod back to the Carolina hall, whioh is now standing, in the rear of lliohland County court house and behind tho stores on Main street. This building is historio in many ways, having been built of briok still hot from the smoking ruins of Columbia in 1BC5. In this hall the Ddmooratio members, constituting a quorum (though not a majority) of tho General Assembly, proooodod to olcot the tioket nominated in caucus tho light before. The Senate, whioh was oonoeded to be Kcpublioan, was notified of the organization at Carolina hall, but took no notioo of the body and reoognized the llopublioan House, which was in session at tho State eapitol. From this the Demooratio House brought aotion in tho State supromo court to mandamus Hayne, tne score Ury of Stato, to issue oleotion ocrtifi eates to the Demoorats from Edgofiold and Laurens. The Demoorats won their point. Thon at the suggestion of the State Democratic exeoutivo oommit tee the Wallaoe House deoided to get control of the hall of the House of Kcpreeentatives. Gen. Kuger agreod to interpose no martial interference if tho Domoorats would oonduot themselves peaoeably. uowever, although almission to the building was obtained, it was nooessary to pass tho portals of the legislative ball. Strategy and foroe wore both brought into play. The Kadioal House was to assemble at noon on Thursday. The Demoorats, singly and by baok streets, made their fray to the 8tate oapitol and obtained admission. The Radioals were not ex peeling this movement. However, the negro sergeant at-arms, a burly fellow, attempted to prevent entranoo at the swinging doors of grden baise. Col. James L. Orr, of Anderson, thrust him to one side. In the touJH) Mr. Juhn 8. Verner sorambled through the legt of the combatants and matched the door open, The Democrats then ft ed in and Qcn Wallace took the rpraktr'a ohair This was a few minute* before 12 o'clock, When tho hour of noon arrived the Republican Houbo officials attempted to get thoir Beats, but wcro refused They obtained ohairs, how ever, and tat bosido thu Djuiooratio offi oers. From Thursday until Monday at noon tho dual government continued thus, two Speakers, two olciks, two of every oflico. Du.ing that tituo no Detnoorat left tho hall foi fjar that ho oould not gain rcacmiHsion. Food was brought by friends, and tho Dciuo oratic legislators slept in tlio halU* If a Democrat would riso to at dress Speaker Wallaco a K\dical would address Speaker Maokoy, and both mouihers would speak at tho eauio time, each tryir.g to drown out tho other. No business was trausaotod or attempted. In tho meantimo four negroes catuo over to tho l)cin loratie standard, Hamilton and Myirs. of Bcaofort; Wostbcrry, of Sumter; Boston, ol Now berry, aid another from Faiifnld. Hamilton was tho first to mako a break. Ilo is said to havo been a negro of intelligence and moans. Ho walked into tbo ball faultlessly attired in broadoloth. Laying his beaver hat and gold headed oano on his dork, and displaying hiB rcvulvor, which ho also laid olono at hand, ho addressed .Judge Wallaco sh "Mr. Spoaktr." Tho no groos crowded around him enreged. The white men uIho surged up towards his desk '"Whom did ho mean to ad droBB as 'Mr Spoakoi?' " Tolling tho nogrooR to Btand haok, Hamilton kept them at bay with his pistol and raid that as Boon as quiet waH rcs'orcd he wou'.d explain whom ho meant. Tho eager crowd fell haok and tho negro then proclaimed why ho would uphold tho decent political party and would align himself with tho Democrats. Tho following Monday at noon on the advioo of .ludgo Walltcc tho Djiuooratio llouso abandoned the hall of tho Ilouso of He) riBontativeB and went haok to Carolina hall. This was done for. a rcBHon that no good could bo accomplished by remaining and it was fearod that the terrible Htrain on tho pooplo would bo followed by disaster unless tho tension bo relaxed. Having now, with the negro recruits, a olear majority as well as a quorum, tho Wallaoo llouso elected Hon. M.C. Butlar to bo United St?tcs Sonator. A stand was built in front of Carolina hall, thero being no buildings botwocn that sjot and Main Stroet, and there (jcn. Hampton was inaugurated Cover nor, the oath boing administered by J. Q Marshall, a Domooratio trial justioc, now Senator from Riohland oounty. The Republicans olooted D. T. Coibin to tho United Statoa Sonato. Corbin was an alion, but a very oapablo lawyer. No business was transacted, no laws cnaotod. Resolutions wcro disoussod by tho throo several branohes of tho Gouoral Assembly meeting duily. Dr. James Woodrow voluntarily did tho printing of tho Wallaoo llausc, but war aftoiwards repaid. Just boforo Uhrist mas tho Radical Ilcuro adjourned and tho Wallaoo Houso followed suit. Tho i oxpcnscs of tho Wallaoo IloUso wero I mot by voluntary services of tho membora and by voluntary contributions from patriots. Tho next spring affr-irs were ohaotio. Tho Domoorats rofusod to pay taxoB to Radical county oflioials, tut rnado a contribution to tho ilampton govern mont. Whcu Rutherford 11.

W. D. Simpson, of Liurens, had already boon Hworn in as Lieutenant Governor. When Chamberlain gavo way to Hampton. Greaves, tho nogro Lieutenant Govomor, gavo way to Mr. Simpson. Greaves triod to force Gov. Siiupeon to to take the oath of ctlicj. Gov. Simpson, shilling villi indigna tion, roplied: "I'hoSonato will ojiuo to order. 1 ha\^ taken tho oath of oihoo onoo, and no power on earth can make mo tako it again " Thoro was no dramatic socno after this annouuocuicnt, but quiet was after somo d.lfioulty rostorcd and Gov. Sirnpson did not tako tho oath as proposed by tho negro. Gon. Mart W. Gary was a member of tho Sonato and defied tho negro Senators to disputo Gov Simpson's rigtit to the otfioc. Gov.

Wm. Goebel. In the Howard oa9o the entire oourt concurred, but in the Powers deoision Judges Hobson, Paynter aud Whito dissonted. The deoision in the Powers oiso holds the Taylor pardon invalid, but ordors a new trial on the ground of erronocus instructions to the jury and admission of inoompetent testimony. Tho Howard oaso is reversed kooauso of erroneous instructions, inoompetent evidence admitted in the trial and other minor points. Tho trial of Powers probably will take place at Georgetown, in May.

It reads thus: "My i'-dth looks to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Havi )ur Divine: N)w hear mo while 1 pray, Take all my guilt away, U let ne from this day lie wholly Thine." This hymn of redemption, whioh sprung from a devout houI, bogins in penitcnco, but ends in praise, and with a glorious assuranoo of h( p?; and how many a penitent, whilo hearing or uttering those words, has found pardon and poaoo in bolicvingl Bowing bofore a oruc'tiod Saviour and look to Him alono, his ory is: "Take all my sins away," and "O let me from thii day lie wholly rhino."

A BEAUTIFUL POEM. 1 Btyruie of the Dead," OrttUat Martial Eulogy Ever W'ltten, ITS ADAPTION WORLD-WIDE. Written b r Theodora O'Hara In Commemoration of the Gallantry of the Kentucky Soldiery. [I.ake Providence, I.a , Ilanner Democrat. J Having latoly scon a beautiful trib u'o to Theodore O'Flara, author of tho immortal poem, "Tho Bivouao of tho Dead," and as O Ilara was my personal friend and assistant in tho AdjutantGene ral's (ffioo of tho Kontaoky division, oommandod by Major-General Hreckcnridgo, I take pleasure in sond ing you an extraot from tho artiole, with tho full poom, which 1 havo car ricd in my notobook cvorsinoo tho war. It is worthy of rooord that this son of tho south produood tho ono pcrfcot and universal martial eulogy that tho world has known and tha, tho south has boon absolutely unmindful of this faot. Tho first of thoso statements is provon by tho faot tbat without any advortisomont or exploitations, tho wonderful words have, in tho fifty years sinoo thoy woro wiitton, permoatcd tho wholo world, and boon laid hold on by English speaking people cvorywhero, to colcbrato thoir honored doad who passed away in batilo. Upon Ciimean battlefields, tho rcstiug plaoo of English heroes is markod by a great monument, on wh'oh bhinos O'llara's matchless words, and vot Eneland Hid not know from whom h)io borrowed when sho wroto them: "On fame's eternal camping ground Their eilent tents are spread, And glory gviards, with Ho'ernn round, The hivouao of the dead." Porhaps tho anonymous oharaotcr of tlo poem was a bloshing, sinoo it is doubtful if tho Federal government of tho United States would havo usod tho lines in such lavish fashion in im mortalizing tho dead of tho Union Army, had thoy bocn rooognizod as tho produot of tho genius of a soldior and offioor of tho other sido. In any oaso. thoy did not know, and every national ocmotory in.Amorioa has gained .thoroby, sinoo thoy ato not only tho most appropriate but tho only appropriato linos for suoh a purposo.

TIIK HIVOUAO OK THE DEAD (Written by Thoodoro O'llara in 1817.) Th? mutlled drum's sad roll ha* heat The soldier's last tattoo; No more on life's parade shall meet That brave nud fallen few On fame's e ernal camping ground TheiQ silent tents are spread, And glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouao of the dead. No rumor of the foe's alvance, Now swells upon tho wind: No troubled thought at midnight haunts Of loved ones left behind; No vision of the morrow's strifo The warrior's dream alarms: No braying horn nor screaming fife At dawn shall oall to arms. Their shivered swords are red with rust, Their plumed heads aro bowed; Their haughty banner, trailed in dust, Is now their martial ehroud, And plenteous funeral tears have washed The red stains from eaoh brow, And the proud forms, by battle gashed, Are free from anguish now. The neighing troop, the Hashing blade, The bugle's stirring blast; The chnrgo, the dreadful cannonade, The din and shout, are passed; Nor war's wild note nor glory's peal t?hall thrill with fieroe delight Those breasts that nevermore may feel The rapture ofthe tight. Like the fierce northern-hurricaue That sweeps his great plateau, Flushed with the triumph yet to gain, Came down the serried foe. Who heard the thunder of the fray Break o'er (bo field beneath, Knew well the watchword of that day Was "victory or death.'' Long had the doubtful oonfiiot raged O er all the Urioken plain, For never tieroer fight had waged The 7engeful blood of 8pain; And still the storm of battle blew, Still swelled the gory tide; Not long onr stout old ohieflain knew Such odds his strength oould bide. 'Twas in that hour this stern command Celled to a martyr's grave The flower of his beloved land, The nation's flag to save. By rivers of their fathers' gore HI* first born laurels grew, And well he deemed the sons would pour Their lives for glory, too. Full many a norther's breath has swept O'er Angostura's plain? And iong the pitying sky has wept Above its mouldered slain. in# raven's scream er eagle's flight, Or shepherd's pensive lay Alone awakes esoh sullen height That frowned o'er that dread frayful. Bone of the dark and bloody ground, Ye must not alumber there, Where stranger steps and tongues reeonnd Along the heedless air. Your own prond land's heroio soil Shall be your fitter grave; She olaims from war his riohest spoil? The ashes of her brave. Thus 'neath their parent turf they rest, Far from the gory field, Borne to a Spartan mother's breast On many a bloody shield; The sunshine of their native sky Bmilee sadly on them here, And kindred eyes and hearts watoh by The heroes' sepulchre. Rest on, embalmed Mad sainted dead! Deer u the blood we gee?| No Impious footsteps bare shall tread The nerbef a of joor grave; Nor shall you* glory *a forgot While feme her reoord keeps; Or honor point the bellowed spot Where valor proudly sleeps. Yon rnarbl* minstrel's voioeless ?ton? In deathless song shall tell, Whop mauy a vanished age hath flown, The story how ye fell. | Nor wreok, nor ohange, nor winter's blight, j Nor time's remorseless doom, 8hall dim one ray oI glory's light Tbat glides your deathless tomb.

An Unstable Jury. Thoro is no tilling what a jury will do. On Maroh H, in Spartanburg, a jury found Matthew Burko guilty o! violating tho disponsary law. Ho was sentenced to throe month's imprison mont or to pay a fine of $100. Tho next day tho jury got togother and dooidud that Burko was not guilty, after all that tho oiroumstantial ovidouuo upon whioh ho was convicted was insufficient and that ho had been convicted more on suspicion than proof. A potbioa for his pardon was promptly propared and as pre mptly granted. Burko is (57 years old and was a Confederate soldier.

A good deal of usolos8 formality and expenso might be saved by merely adopting a sort of trobationary system whereby ecuplos oan take each other, not for bet ter or for worse, but until they oan find out tho differenoe?-on trial, as it were?without calling for tbo sacrament of marriage until thoy are euro about it.
