and that his broad judioial mind <iuali

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

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

tho Wallaoo Houso followed suit. Tho

Thoro was no dramatic socno after

New Trials (J ranted.
The Kentuoky oourt of appoals Thursday
granted now trials to Caleb Powers
and James Howard, sontcnood in the
lowor oourt to life imprisonment and
death, respectively, in oonncotion with
the shooting in February, 1900, of 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. Howard's oaso
probably will be passod until the fall
term.

"THOU LAMB OF CALVARY."
How ft Great Hymn Wat Made by a
Younp Man of Yale.
One day during tho wintor of 1830 a
young man, a gradmto from Yale, sat
down in bis room in the city of Now
Ycrkand with ojes fi led with toars wrote
in bis pookct mt nnrandum-book four
simplo starzas, which, bo Baid, "wero
born of my own soul " Two years later,
l)r. Lowell Mason cotnposod for
thoso atarzas tho beautiful tuno Olivet
to whioh tho hymn is still sung, and it
is ocrtainly ono of tho moit piooious
contributions whioh Amerioan gonitis
has mado to tho hyinnology of tho
Christian ohuroh. 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."
The earnestness of that ory of faith

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.

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.
"I have been trouhlod with inliges
tion for ten yca'P, havo tried many
things and spent much money to no
purpose until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. I havo taken two bottles and
gotten more relief from them than all
other medicines taken. 1 feel more
liko a hoy than 1 havo folt in t?onty
years." Anderson ltiggs of Sunny
Lino, Tex. Thousands havo testified
as did Mr. It gge.
Dr. K. Norton.
Hlowed Himself.
Famuol Hagcrty, a prosporous and
wealthy farmer, living tl rco fouth of
Plj mouth, Ohio, oommittcd suicide in a
most shocking manner. Ho lock a
quantity of dynamito and went to tho
fiold, announoing his intention to blast
stumps. Jjator a violent ozplosion
alarmed the neighbors and on invostiga
tion thoy found a fow hoatterod romDantfl
of the dospondont man. inquire
Rubin was called and held an inquest
which disclosed iho fact that the doorarcd
farmer had placed stv ral pounds
of tho explosive in a largo stuiup, tat
thereon and doliberately lighted tho
fuso. Despondency ovor tho loss of his
wifo is thought to be the oauso.
You will wasto limo if you try to
euro indigestion or dyspopsia starving
yoursolf. That only makes it worse
when you do eat heartily. You always
need plenty of good foodproperly digost
cdKodol Dyspepsia Cure is tho rt suit of
years of soientifio research for something
that would digest not ODly somo
olemcnts of food but cvory kind. Atd
it is the ono remedy that will do it.
Dr. E. Norton.
A Good Suggestion.
Tho Atlanta Journal says in Khodo
Island there is an avorago of one divoroo
for every eight marriages. 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. Certainly the percentage of
"sticks" oould not be any less than under
the present oome easy-go easy systnm
Spring ooughs are specially dangerous
and unless onrod at once, serious
results often follow. One Minulo
Cough Cure aots like ncagio. It is not
a oommon mixture buv, is a high grade
remedy.
