ThiryTE.rNNESSEX Legislature, aftej
great tribulation and the hottest kimi
of a light, stcceeded lin adopting i
debt compromise of l11-yl cetit on tl
dollar, with iiterest at four per cent.
Which was submitted to the people '
few nays ago. The proposition wt
defeated by fifteen thousand majorit:
In a very light vote. This reopens th
whole question aflain. Both the repu
diators and those who wish to - pa
more than fifty per cent. voted agains
the compromise.
OLD UWN I)UTLU. is very serious])
alarming the Republicans of Massa
chusetts by his gnbernatorial aspira
tIonsi Governor Talbot, who boa
Butler last year, declines to take thi
risk again, and the Blue Bloods ar
cAsting about for another strong can
didate. They have not yet found an;
one to 1111 the bill completely. In th
meantime old Strabismus is quieill
jaunting about in his yacht leaving hi
followers to work up a boom for hin
by September. Ben will doubtless b
beaten again this year, but he refise
to-stay beaten, and the prospect o
haviig him to light every year i
terrific. At a satfe distance it is mos
amusing to watch the fight.
New Constitutions.
Tile Louisville Courier-Joumal i!
much disappointed that the voters o
Kentucky failed to give a mijoriti
for the proposition to call a constitu.
tional convention. The Augusti
Chronicle, with its recent experienc4
of the workings of a new constitut iom
In'Georgia, congratulates the people o!
Kentucky on their good sense or goof
luck In defeating the call. Strange m
it nuy scern, none of the new consli.
tutions appear , to give satistaction,
The Georgia copstitution was pro
nounced a masterpiece of statesman

the fi-st Legislature held under its
p'ovisions finds the constitution a lo
In its pali wherever it turns. Th
California constitution Is the besi
abused instrument that has ever beeil
adopted for the governanmce of a peo
ple. And so'through the whole eata
logue. The reflection is mortifying
enough but none the less true that th<
first framers of the government musi
have been more astute than their de.
scendanmmts. The difficulty with thest
constitutional conventions is that theN

a paniacea for every evil. TIhese gol
together and wrangle and confIus<

befogged, and vote at random.
At regular intervals the question o
a constitutional conmvenmtionm for~ thil

stituition has any nmnber of defects
but until the statesmen of Soulh Care

A OI(7iAT ANA GWOD MAN.
An Old Soldier Tella How iA ChieftaiR
Ulvd-The eeie onu ti Bloody Battle
Field of the Seoaid Manasusas.
We have been requeslted to publish
the following tribute to (he late Jx
Governor Meaus, who was, born and 6
lived ti Fairfield county. After hav
inAg received the high office ofgovernor A
at the hiand of-the St1at, he vo)luiteer- i
ed in her defeince, and fell while lead- a
ihg the Seventeenth Regiment at (te
Second battle of Mnlassats,-the field
iI whieh five South Carolina Colonels I
poured out their Hifl's blood.
The article wis written by a devoted I
army friid of Governor Means, and
is as follows:
"There is neveranythinglost by hold- -

may he the asperities otHlife- however I
harsh-no matter how bitter (te I
"wormwood and gall" may be, there I
is, nevertheless, much to lighten, much 1
to cheer, and much to wipe out the
clouds that sometimes grow so dark.
Nothinag more than a true lan, a good
man, a Christian mani, ean do this, and
as we pen the name of the immortal i
John MaIns, every tribute that godHi
ness, holiness, truth and love can bear,
clusters arouid his sacred 1am,1ie.
Yea s have passed since amid fire and
shell be poured out his ljit'e blood.

day that. his glilttering sword flashed i
uponu the battle fleid of the second Ma- c
Silassas, or his eye grew dim as his P
lif'e's blood ebbed away. 11
The writer who pays this feeble t rib- I
ute to this good mani knew him froi a
his early borhood. At his feet, by his c
side, in the loniely camp lie knew him, '

(Goverior MIIeis w ith a love Chat he C
held lxt to his faitler. In all of South 1
Carolina's history we fail to find a I
eharac(er in whleh are blended more I
of the soldier and citizen, statesman q
and scholar, the brave 111an and the I
gentleman than was typitied in him. (
Governor Means was ahvays a Stale's aI

what. his Colvictions required oflii, t
.and in (lie discharge of that duty pour- I
ed out hiI blood as so much water. 1
When South Carolina needed him, lie
nntswered her call. .1e remained ii
her service while a latrge portion ofthe i
- press of the State were loudly calling t
i in back to again be her governor, t
and, perhaps, hte would have been, had s
not h sealed his devotion to her with I
his blood. It' the tiles of' the old Co

cannot f'orget the zeal amid grandeur of<

al111(1 disaigreeable. 1lls physical power a
was overtaxed whien the morning sun I

was his guiding light ; to follow it let
come weal or woe, death or life, wais I
his greaitest pleasure, and but a fewv I
hours before thme awvful combat camne, 1
hough exhausted to a great extenit,i
his smile showedi the inwvardmness 01' his I

B dowin, and wdillie his blood wvas oozing

passing away, time and again could his
. powertful voice be heard: -"Go On my 4
brave boys, go on." It is familiar too,i
almost, as yesterday when in his dying
brei'athI, whlile bidding fai'ewell to home

a commanding a portion ofthe i'egimnent,
