The whole State mourns the death of a brave, true and gifted son. The Hail intelligence comes from Edge Held of the sudden death on Satur day of Gen. M. W. Gary from con gestion of the brain. Wo first remember Gary as a gal lant soldier. At the first souud of the bugle of war, although as frail as a flower from a naturally delicate constitution, he rushed to the de fence of his State, undertaking all the hardships aud dangers of the field for the love he held for what he believed to be right; and, in all the battles of this long and unhappy con flict, the plume of Gary was always found in the van. Endued by na ture with great powers of intellect, and blessed with the culture and ac complishments of a high classical training, he soon rose to the emi nence of command; but in his eleva tion he never esteemed himself one tittle above hi* fellow soldiers, but mingled with them as comrades working together for a common cause. Ever watchful to the wants of his men, aud concerned for their safety, he won the admiration of his whole com maud. After the war, he resumed the practice of law at Edge flcld, taking uoJpftTtih public affairs, until the memorable campaign of 187<5, when, in opposition to the sen timent of the whole State, he inaugu rated the straightout movement which resulted in the overthrow of Radical ism ami the placing of Wade Hampton iu the gubernatorial chair of South Carolina. Had it not been for Gen. Gary, assisted by Gen. But ler and'the Charleston Journal of Commerce, edited by Barn well Rhett Jr., Chamberlain would have been acquiesced in by tlie Democrats as the nominee for Governor, ami the carpet-bagger would have continued his grasp upon our government foi an unlimited period. The memor able day when Gens. Gary and But ler rode up at the head of the Edge, field red-shirts and divided tim with Chamberlain, and converted Judge T. J. Mackay, was the turning point in the political current of the State. As one of the results of this campaign, Gen. Gary was elected to the State Senate from Edgofield Here, while there were many of his positions that wo could not endorse, there was much good done by him which is little realized by the people. He was the father of the usury laws which are now in full and harmon ious operation. In this, as in many other deeds, he has received the ap pellation of the "poor man's friend." In 1878, Gen. Gary was brought into collision with Gen. Hampton, his for mer friend, for whom he had worked so zealously und unselfishly, and in this issue we do not think that he received n fair and unprejudiced pnb 1k jud, m-nt. During .he campaign of this year he was prominently spoken of for Governor, aud in the canvass which ensued, a terrific war fare was waged against him, under which he was swept from the field. But Gen. Gary bore himself as grandly in defeat as in victory. Sur rounded in the State convention by a host of opposing delegates, he calmly anil defiantly, and in the very soul of his classic eloquence, reiterated his political views, refusing to bow "to the *}>sc (licit of any party autocrat," or lo recede one step from w hat he believed to be right. Gen. Gary had his faults, but he had also his virtues. His political opinions in many essential features were not ours. In many of thoho we conscientiously opposed him. But his manliness, his honesty and his independence, must always be ad mired and it is upon these traits ol Iiis character that we love to linger. When a mau begins to go down hill he finds everything greased for the occasion,* said n philosopher, who might have added that when he tries to climb up he finds everything greas ed for the occasion too. WHEN WILL IT END I The (lendlock in Congress con tinues with little ehsuces of brenk ing, except from absenteeism which seems nt present to be the only chance for the end. The latest dis patches show that so great has been ' the falling off in the attendance that | a quorum is scarcely secured. Both parties seem to be determined to stand firm. Senator Vest on the Democratic side said to the Republi cans in his speech on .Saturday that the Democrats rather than submit would stay "until the snows of De cember covered the hills in their winding sheets." The Republicans also say the same. In the mean time we would ask how the people like this interference with the business interests of the country, and this reckless expenditure ot their money? Does it pay to be spending so much for a mere sentiment?for the empty luxry of a party victory? We would also ask, which party is responsible for all this? These are questions which the people are considering, and there is no escaping the verdict when it comes. SUNDAY COCKTAILS. In obedience to a call, numerously signed by the most influential citi zens of Charleston, a large concourse of people assembled at Ilibcrinan Hall on Monday night for the. pnr pose of obtaining an expression of public opinion on the subject of | temperance, and oifenforcing the laws on the statute books of the city for t he prohibition of Sunday cocktails. The practice of selling drinks on Sunday had been going on for a long time and to a fearful extent in the city. The JSeirs ami Courier under took the unmasking of these viola tors of law and order and a list of the Sabbath-breakers was regularly pub lished in that paper. Even one of the Aldermen of the city whose duty it is to eiiforce the laws was found by the reporters in the list of the viola tors. The Ncic? and (Courier pressed the subject with great vigor, and the 1 result was the public meeting on Monday night. The meeting was largely attended and enthusiastic. Speeches were made by lion. A. G. Magrath, Maj. Edward McCrady, Dr. Junkin, und Mr. L. H. Hayner*, and resolutions were adopted calling upbi the city and Stale authorities to enforce the laws on the statute books. A SAD COINCIDENCE. The aged mother of Gen. Gary who has been lying ill at Cokosbliiy for some time, and who was daily ex pecting the arrival of her son Gen. t^ary bli a .visit, died a few hours after bis burial in the same town, knowing nothing either of his sick ness or deat h.
