GOLD WAS soLD) at par in New Yorh
on the 17th, for the first time since thc
sutipension of specie payments in
1862. The sale evoked enthusiastic
cheering. Specie resumption whieli
goes into 6ff'ect on the 1st of January
is pronounced an accomplished fact.
THE CHiEEnN inforiation comes
from Columbia that on Tuesday night
Governor Hampton seemed to be fi
proving. He ate solid food for the
first time since his accident, and ex
pressed the belief that lie has turned
the corner. Ile is still, however, not
out of danger.
Afraid of an Open Investigation.
The Senate, in Washington, as
on Monday the scene of a very heated
debate ovor an amendment offiered by
Senator Butler, of this State, to
Blaine's investigating resolution.
Senator Butler demanded that the
investigations shall be held with open
doors, so that witnesses may not false
ly swear away the reputation of re
spectable citizens without an oppor
tuidty of answering being aflorded.
In this he was supported by Senators
Merrimon and Bayard, the former of
whom said he had served on one or
two secret Investigating conunittees
already, and had been astounded by
the falso swearing of irresponsible
witnesses. No man's character is safe
in such hands, as lie is kept ignorant
of what is going on until too late to
reply. But the Radicals claimed that
the witnesses would be intimidated
unless allowed to testify in secret.
The vote was a strict party one, and
resulted in a tie, the amendment thus
being defeated. It will be seen by
this that the Radicals merely want
campaign documents, and they know
they can manufacture them better in
secret than in open daylight.
A propos of this whole matter, the
New York Herald very wisely urges
the Democrats not to give any op
portunity for discussion of laine's
resolution, its sole object is to excite
attention, and the best way to meet it
is to refuse to advertise it, and to let
it die still-born. Unless the Demo
crats are sure they can make capital,
which is very doubtful, they had bet
ter the matter severely alone.
Standing by the Settlement.
The State legislators have been
getting each other by the ears over
the State debt; and most earnest
efforts have been madle to abolish the
Bond Court as a preliminary step, it
is charged, to repudliation. TIhe
House on Monday refused to abolish
the Court by a vote of 57 to 5?!, and
then by laying on~ the table a moitioni
to reconsider, eff'ectually shelved it
for the session. The argument urged
against the Court is that it is unconi
stitutional. This is answered by say
lng that eveni, if it is, which is denied,
a decree made by it can do iio harm
if it does no good, and thiP it is better
to let the Supreme Court decide the
constitutIonality of the Bond Court.
The question is an old one, anid the
present compromise was efleeted to
prevent dissensioni in the party. It
seems to be folly to build up one day
and pIull downl the next. Let the
binding obligation of the debt be first
decided, and then it is time to talk
about paying it. Again, rep)udiation
is urged by some who dlesire to dis
rup)t the party, and p)arty welfare de
mands opp)osition to this. Lastly, soe
go so far as to urge a repudiation of
all the debt, riot only that made by
the Radicals but the just obligations
incurred by tihe State before the war.
This is dishonesty, It can be called
by no other name. Such being the
ultimate object of some, care should
be had not to allowv the first step ini
tis direction to be taken. All things
considered, it Is better to stand by the
settlement. We are p)leased to' see
that Messrs. Clowney, Br'ce and
Gaillard idl voted against re-op~ening
the (questionl. We are convinced that
thoy stand on the right ground. The
Democratic Party has already suffered
enough fromi G reenbackism, in flat ion
and other kindred projects. It
should1( not be further load(ed at the
Present timne with repudiation.

0on the present session of the South
Carolina Conference I closed
wvith some mention of .the ex.
anmation of lministerial and oflicial.
character. All of the preachers
passed this review. Whien the Itiner

it at once becomes e.vident that -this
feature is a necessity. . Under its 01pe.
entire stranger to the chargo which hi
is to serve, yet., vith this recoinmendai
tioni, lie is known.
The various conmittees-on educa
tion, books and perlodicals, Sunday
schools, Bible causes, temperanice
publishing house, joint board o
finance-reported. The propositio
to change the ratio of representatioi
in general conference received a unani
lous vote.
About $6,000 was im ested inl the
blonds for relief of the publishing
house. These bonds draw t'our pei

by lRev. Dr. Wilson, the missionar
secretary, wtas a decidod succesa It
every way.
The next Conference Is to be hold in
Charleston.
The varions churches were general.
ly opened and occupied on Sunday
by some of the ministers of the Confer.
ence. Bishop Wightman's sermon ir
the morning was on the Personafif v ol
the Holy Ghost, and was full of the
glorious doctrine. Though an ol(
man the Bishop still preaches with his
old time vigor and imasterly ability.
IRev. S. A. Weber was elected editor
of our Conference organ, the Southern
Christian Advocate, vice Rev. F. M.
Kennedy, D. D., rezigncd.
Let me in closing allude to one of
the most interesting incidents of the
Conference. Bishop Wightman arose
to read a telegram. It was concern
ing our governor. It announced that
there was a favorabF. change, when,
with one occord, the body arose and
sung "Praise God from1 Whom all
blessings low." It was a thrilling
