O'CONNOR."" Our renders -will he shocked by theij BtftrUitig intelligenceofthe death of! this faithful public servant at his itoinc in Charleston on Tuesday. The excitement of public life, and the harassing contests to which he was subjected till ring his Congress ionnl career was more than Air. Con-, nor could bear. Added to these corrodingeuros and excitements, his unswerving attention to duty, and his devotion to the liiteyesls of his con stituents, completely broke down his health, and at last resulted in his death. The signs of disease were seer, in him during his canvass of Orangeburg County in t he last cam paign, lie however met all his ap pointments, and after the election,' took his place in Congress. But, finding his condition growing more critical, he, at length, came home to die. Air. O'Connor was a conscien tious public man. In all his public acts he was guided by a sense ot'duty. Before the war he was several times sent to the State Legislature. lie was a brilliant orator, and, after the war, the graces ?l'eloquence brought him out again into public life. Iiis removal from the political arena will mark an epoch in the history of our State. We know not; how bettor to conclude this meagre notice of this good ma i t an in the language ot .the ATca-s ami Courier: i -".Surely M. P. O'Connor had not ?an enemy, and the friends he had he could depend on ns they could rely i on him. Always affectionate, gener ous, tender and considerate, with a bright smile for every acquaintance, and a linn, strong grasp of the hand for every friend, his beaming eye and cheery face will long, long be missed in Charleston. Honored he was by this people; loved he was by those who knew the sweet simplicity of hi* 1 gentle, atfectiounte nature; remem bered he will be as one whose whole . career was free from iho stains of Wiilice,, euvy aud revenge, and who leaves to those whose hearts ache for bim to-day the precious memory of a life adorned by generosity and chari ty, and by a kindliness that never failed," In the United Slates Senate last week, Gen. M. C. Butler of our State, happening in the course of his speech to refer to the bargain be tween the Republicans ami (Jen. Mahone, pen. Burnside leaped from his sent and in the most excited man lier characterized the statement ns false. It is reported that Burnside was drunk, ami on this account Gen. Butler declined to bandy words with him, but cooly proceeded with his speech at the conclusion of what he reiterated the statement of n bar gain. The next day Burnside, hav ing tune for meditation, and appeal ing from Burnsido drunk to Burn side sober, made an ample apology in public session which was happily accepted by Geh, Butler in the spirit in which it was tendered. Ko one can question (Jen, Butler's bravery, and ho could well a fiord to exhibit the calmness for which he is noted. How much better, suys the Xncs and Courier, is this mode of sett le nient than the schoolboy tactics ex pressed in "you're another!'' Major CoHrtensiy, not satisfied with Rev. ii. 1?', Crcity.borg'H ample and gentlemanly apology for his state inent from the pulpit rl" his Church which was tho result of n miscon struction of a remark of Alderman Chisolrn, all of which was since satis factorily explained by Mr. Chisolm. htts now written another letter to a number of gentlemen pi' tho Metho dist Church finding fault with them betaiiHc they have cht?en to pas.* resolutions approving of tho course (if their pastor. These gentlemen have very properly treated the rav ings of thu .Mayor with deserved silence. We don't, think Air. ('our lenity has gained any laurels by his course. Abrain .Martin, a colored man, was hanged in Abbeville on Friday for killing his aged wife last .Inly. Mar tin had been living in adultery with another woman, and the evidence shows t hot he killed his wife in order that lie might successfully continue his crimes. And yet he went through with the usual gallows talk of ""peace with God" Are. The common crime of adultery with this class of our population, ami the general disre gard for t ho sanctity of the marriage state calls for general reform on this head. Moral education is too much overlooked iu the popular greed for mental iinprovement. The stars are going out, ono Ivy one, from our political horiftr.n. LAUOtt?IMMIGRATION, HITC. Editor Oringeburg Times: It appears that immigrants arc coming to South Carolina. I am fearful that we arc not prepared to treat them as comfortably as they should be, in Oraugeburg at least, for we cultivate laotitiing compara tively speaking but cotton, nnd these people can't .oat cottom .seed. No man should apply for them unless they are. able, to furnish good iqtiar tcrs.und wholesome food. If wc in duce them to eojue among us and neglect i** treat them as they should be they may leave, and the malicious and false rumors circulated at the North about us, will be believed. We must not expect too much of these people, remembering that they labor under many disadvantages. They have 4*i I earn our customs and man ner of work, which requires time. How to entice immigration into our country? We must oiler good work, wholesome food and good pay. This will soon overcrowd us with them. When cotton factories are establish ed all over pur land, and our farmers learn to devote one half of their cot ton lands to bread-stuffs then will we see i hi migrants Hocking to on coun ty. We will bo prepared to prove to the world that ours is a favored land. But reflect, Mrr. Editor, a minute. Suppose an immigrant should came to Oraugeburg to ex amine pur condition as fanners and find that most of our farmers are buy ing at this early date, North West ein hay, corn, and meat on time, after having harvested 50 thousand bales of cotton. What would they think? Suposothey should find our | barns full, smoke houses also, our fields cultivated with grain crops, fat cattle Arc. What would they think? Mr. Editor, I venture, to give to the white farmers of our country advice cultivate small grain and such crop** that require little manual labor; raise horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep. If factories arcesiablishefl in our land there will be a demand for all we can raise. Mr. Editor, many farmers think that there is money in no other crop, but. cotton, therefore plant all their productive lands in cotton and there barren lands in grain, which is t> great mistake. If the capital of the country was applied to manu fact tin and half of the labor devoted from cot ton to provision crops, in a few years our country would become prosperous, populous and wealthy. Carrie Ceh. Gary was one of our pit bib men who blessed our State, but nev er received his reward. It is thought that Gen. John S. Preston will hardly live a day or two longer. President Garfield and l.-.dy, it i.< aid, will be present at the Cowpen's Celebration at Sparlauburg on Ma\ 11th. The editors of the State will start on their Florida trip next week. They will come back invigorated for their summer work. Gen. Joseph Lane, the Democratic .?nndidute for Vice-President on tin ticket with Gen. John C. Hreckin ridge in 1800, died at his home in Oregon lutt week at a ripe ohl age, If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away froh) him. An investment in knowledge always pays the beat interest.? Franklin, Dr. TL M. Palmer, the distinguish ed Presbyterian Divine, for many ?ears stationed at New Orleans, has beeil called to the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church of Columbia. We hope that he may accept and re turn to his native State. A lady of Brookly n, N. YM has sent a note and wreath of llowers to the Mayor of Cokosbury, S. ('., with the request that the (lowers be placed up on the grave of Gen. M. W. Gary, as a slight tribute of respect from a Northern lad}' to the memory of a brave man. Hon. .lames Alrich, in a letter in the A ikon Jam mil ami Jlrriew, tnk< s strong ground in (avor of the raising by direct taxation a sullicient fund to keep the schools open for the full fchool year ami to elevate the grade of teuclttrs. I!c says that the consti tution and the ^ odd am insecurity of society demands it. w. P nOPTNSON. AhVb fret-h lol of La 'dreth needs, AAR OF FASHIONS!
