' Tjoiis s. rRtsm>. Within a few weeks, we have been culled upon to mourn, in rapid suc eession, the loss of three of the most prominent men of Stttith Carolina. First, the brave, the dashing and the unrequited Gary; next, the noble, courteous and liberal minded O'Connor; and now, the classic and unconquerable Preston. Gen. Preston was a grand and re markable personage. He was a man of the most commanding appearance, a brilliant orator, and, withal, a ripe and finished scholar. His whole soul was wrapped up in the South ern Confederacy, and believing as he did that the cause was right, he had lib taste or disposition to adapt him solf to the changed condition of affairs. He asked no favors and made no concessions to the new re gime, but prcferred4to go down to the grave in silent adoration of the Lost Cause, which he loved so well. All his public utterances and actions breathed this lofty and uneringing spirit. In his oration at the urivoil iug of the Confederate monument in Columbia erected by the ladies in honor of the Confederate dead, he asked why these pure and chaste wo men of Carolina would come here aud in the face of the civilized world "build an altar to treason and in famy !" He then answers the ques tion and gives the reason and justi fieatiou for their action iu the follow ing strong and impassioned langu age: "Blessed be the Omniscient G?d, who knows all Truth, it is found in the outpourings of His own Eternal Truth over the hearts and souls of these women of Carolina; and by their act under its dictates?by their deed here to-day?it is pro claimed before God and man that the world's outcry of shame and infamy is a lie--a deep-dyed damned He; and that this monument to the Con federate soldiers is the emblem and the substance of Truth. Yes, wo men of South Carolina, by all that is holy, by all that is sacred on earth and before God, by all that is true, you are justified in placing this monument hero, ou this spot, as the. altar, the sanctuary to which in pious pilgrimage you may lead your sont in all the days to come." Besides, beiug a ripe scholar, Gen. Preston was a man of big heart. His deeds of love and charity, unknown to the world, will bless him above all else. In his death a noted land mark of old Carolina has pissed away. THE PROOF IS GIVEN. Senator Butler has made good his promise to prove the bargain be tween the Republicans and Millionen It will be remembered that in his controversy a few weeks ago with Senator Burnside he asserted that he would prove this bargtun or re sigu his scat in the Senate. We think he has fully redeemed his pledge. 2\'o doubt many of the Republicans will claim that he has not proven the bar gain; that he has indulged in gene ralities aud has not given specific proof. The Republicans j however, kn< w better thau this. Political bargains and rings of all kinds, are seldom susceptible of clearer proof than But ler has given Like, (many crimes com mitted i l s. c ct, and tried in courts ?f justice, they can only be judged by circuni*>la:itial evidence, which Senator Butler has given completely in the Mahone case. ? Ma hone was elected as a Democrat. If a sense of patriotic duty caused him to vote with tin Republicans on a certain issue, it is strange that a scxt.c < i duty should force him to vote with tic Republicans uniformly in every case. It is strange, too, as Gen. But lor savs, that as a consequence of his vote, his friends, Riddlcbnrger aud Goth in should obtain the most im portant positions at the hands of the Senate, and that the Federal patron age of his State should be placed at the disposal of the Virginia Senator. We admire Gen. Butler's course. He has refused to be drawn into a war of epithets and idle denunciation but with consummate coolness and deliberation, and in the most gentle manly and parliamentary language has proven, in the clearest light, that the Republicans have entered into a mean and contemptible bargain in order to obtain control of the Senate. A young man b}r the name of Wm. Henry Priester, killed his father, last week,, near Allcndale, by shooting him to death with a pistol. The cruel and unnatural)boy took a horse and biigg}' after the deed and' made his escape. THE O'CONNOR CONTEST. The death of Mr. O'Connor puts the Situation somewluit an follows: On the Democratic side it is likely thai the plan is for the Governor to issue his proclamation for a new elec tion, as any other course would carry with it the idea that Mr. O'Connor was not elected. Tho Democratic policy will he to recognize nothing but a vacancy. The Republican programme, on the other bund, judging from the utterances of Mackay himself, cor roborated by whisperings from Washington, will be as follows: Mackay will not run, as his consent ing to become a candidate under a new election would invalidate his claim under the old. If elected how ever under tbo new election, he will accept, and waive his claim under the old. Another idea of the Republicans is to let the Democrats have the elec tion all to themselves, and then, as will necessarily be the case wdiere there is no opposition, the vote will be small and they hope that this will be taken as a measure of Mr. O'Con nor's correct vote. TUE STATU NURSIAL INSTITUTE. Col. H. S. Thompson, the State Superintendent of education, left Greenville on Saturday after a stay of two days, looking after the condi tionofthe public schools in that county, and seeing what arrange ments could be made to accommo date the State Normal Institute which will; in all probability, meet I there in August next. A committee of gentlemen who have been arrang ing for the accommodation of the large number of teachers expected, find no trouble in preparing for the comfort of as many as will come on very moderate terms. Nothing will be left undone to make their visit one of real pleasure, and in this di rection thu people of the city will lend a helping hand. Col. Thompson, has also decided to hold a normal school this summer I for colored teachers. He is in corres pondence with an experienced in structor in that branch of education, I and when he has consulted with him iu regard to his other engagements he will a p point a time and place for I the meeting. NEW INDUSTRIES AND PROSPECTS. Mr. John F. Brady, of New York, writes (through Senator Hampton) that he had been for twenty live ! years in the fruit-canning business ? in New York and New Jersey, but ! that t he trade is gradually extending to the West. Being of "Southern j proclivities" and intending to move Iiis factory, lie desires to know whether South Carolina raises vege I tables and fruit sufficient for his pur poses and thr average prices. What a chance is presented in this for Orangeburg. If Mr. Brady could be induced to come here in thif beautiful middlecountry what an im petus would be given to truck farm ing in our vicinity. Every fruit and vegetable that is usually canned can be raised here in the greatest profusion. We plant tomattos here and they rot and waste because we can't use them as fast as they ripen. One factory of this kind would lead to another, and the greatest benefits would result to our State. Jn the same connection- Mr. Ed ward Warwick, a lawyer at Lebanon, Ohio, writes that,on account of the severe winter in that region, many people are looking about for more Southern homes, and that South Carolina can secure any quantity ot laborers and mechanics in his section. He adds some pleasant (predictions that the South will monopolize the cottou mill business, of New England. These are straws which show wP.h what interest our progress and ad vantages are being watched from afar. Let us foster and encourage every disposition to immigration in this direction with all the. means in our possession. It is in this way that we will become a rich and prosper ous people. REPUBLICAN DEMORALIZATION. The confusion of the Republicans is becoming so great that it seems that the stalwart plans are about to be broken, and the deadlock will thus lie rcl'evcd. The quarrel be tween Conk ling and the President is assuming threatening proportions. The Picsidonl has written a letter to the Republican caucus urging an im mediate executive session. He scores his party well for neglecting pubiic business in order to elevate G?r ham to office. Gnrneld, loading the administration Republicans, and Conklitig, the s3alwarts, -who arc di rectly opposed to each other, gives promise of a serious division. Demo cratic blunders have injured the Democratic party for many years, but the Republicans arc now having their turn. TIUI. RlTv.' BONNER. The Rev. John Irwin Bonner, D. D., thewell-kuown Pietddpnt of the Due \\ est Female College and the accomplished editor pt 'xne Axsocialc IXeJoriniU jl't'cski/ttrtan, died at his residence in Due West, Abbeville County, at half past 2 o'clock on Fri day aftcrnot a, after, n long illness, accompanied by the most intense suffering. KELLOGG DEMOCRATS* The Abbeville Dlcdium says: "If one ihnn has n right to vote 'agajnst the Democratic party with out condemnation so has another. If the democrats who voted for seating Kellogg are to bo justified and ex cused, there is no proper reason to denounce Mahonc. We have no right to make that treason in one member of the party which we commend in another. Give the same treatment i to those who voted with the radicals on the Kellogg case that IWnhone gels and things will be equal and no oue can rightly complain." By a late decision of the Supreme Court, the railroad complication is solved, and the South Carolina Hail road will be allowed to be sold. ?prcinlty in Cignr? and Tobacco at Frank Wisher's.
