Mis death was no more a necessity demanded by the sovereignty of God, than it was a necessity demanded by the Father- liood of God. It was an expression an .. m „,.

Melsiurin of llennets- ville. has been eleet.sl Attorney General in the place of Mr. l’op< elevated to the Supreme Bench. We felt apprehensive from the tlrst that .Judge Wallace would be defeated, but we are truly glad to state that Senator Beasley and repre sentative McCall had the intelligence and courage to vote for the man they believed to be best ipialitied for the position. They did not forget Judge Wallace’s ability and the gratitude that the w hole State should feel for the part he took in redeem ing ourpeople from the robbers in '7<i. As for Messrs. Burn and Du Bose nobody would have suspected them of voting any other way than they did. They are not capable of rising above partisan! prejudice. Representative Burn’of Darlington said in the legislature last Friday in a speech aginst the prohibition bill, that if the bill became a law “the nourishing town of Darlington would be utterly destroyed.” Such a catstrophe would be unfortunate in the extreme, but, after all’ such a fatewoml not be unjust to any town whose life is derived from the trafllc in whiskey. A tow n whose existence depends on any such condition deserves to be “utterly destroyed.” We differ from Mr. Burns, however’ in the effect prohibition would have on the prosperity of I lariingtou. The town would not ony continue to live but wood grow and prosper just as it has in the past. The whiskey men are not the ones wha have made Darlington what it is.—Pee Dee Index. We have already expressed our opinion on this question and publish the above simply to show the opin ions of others on this question. _Public opinion has not, as yet, reach ed the point of sustaining prohibi tiou, and until it does, no statute of this character w ill do any good. their salvation. In this lies the secret of the power of the cross. This is but a bare outline of one of the I>ost sermons preached during the session of the Conference. Mr. Richardson was stationed here in 1S80, and his friends were delighted to have an opportunity of hearing him again. The congregation at the Methodist church on Sunday morning was by far the largest ever gathered in tin* building, and every available foot of space was occupied. As a matter, of cours:, some were not accommo dated, but all the ladies, except a few w ho did not care to press through the crowd, were seated. There were over seven hundred | people packed in the building, this mere statement will give an idea of how closely packed the congrega tion was. By special request Messrs. Albert and Lauren Parrott, S. A. Woods and T. .1. Drew acted as ushers, and it was a subject of general remark how well the crowd was managed, and how little confusion prevailed. 'I’he task of seating the people was an arduous one, but the ushers un derstood their business, and every body had to obey orders. The music was led by t he tine choir of the church, and was joined in by the whole eon- It is almost impossible to keep tin run of the new bills introduced in the Legislature, but many of them are impracticable and unwise. Among them the bill to compel the railroads to provide separate coaches for white and colored people. This would involve a great deal of useless expense and accomplish very little goad. Very few of the colored peo ple purchase first-class tickets, and those who do are ; early always quiet and orderly: very often more so than a great many w hite men w ho claim to be gentlen co, but for w hom the name of rowdies would be more ap propriate. The night of the 24th of last Dec. the Editor was on the train between Florence and Wilmington, and notwithstanding the fact that the second class coach was crowd ed with colored people it was a great deal more orderly than the first class car in which there were no colored people at all. It is well on excursions to have separate cars for the two races, but we see no reason for placing this heavy expense on the railroads. Afkr the election of.lodge Mc- I ver to the position of Chief Justice, i. wu earnestly hoped that the Lcg- i.latino would continue the good v •rk by making Judge Wallace As- • iate .Justice: but this hope was in vain, and our represent dives have, in the election of Mr. Rope, win se i 'evoltd friend cannot call a < i •; inwyor, and w ho has no record cm , p, as a professional politician, given ::n exhibition of stupidity, in- gn::itc.de and partisanship w hich we Inqo never to witness again. The .case of (Senator Hampton, bad as it unquestionably was, was not so en tirely disgraceful as this, becaus • in his case, poor as the excuse was, there might have been the plea of advancing years; but there is nothing to 1 e siud in extenuation of such a piece of work as this, and it should meet with the everest con 'emna- tion from every one who has any ap- pr-eiation of high character and 1 .1 knowledge. The pity o" it all L li nt il eslabl s'ier a pmedent that will work incalculable harm and whi-di will place a jioor lawyer in one of the most r>sponsible positions in the State, and which will inevita ble del act fro.. the prestige and dignity of the court. Language is hardly nqunl to the tusk of drawing a (cmpaii.-on be ween the Christian gentleman and able lawyer, Judge Wallace and th; peliti iau Fop. which was nothing but right, were: respected. The most interesting part of the singing was while thej collection was being taken up. This | was one of Gounod’s master-pieces,! “The Pilgrim,” and was very much enjoyed by all who have any appre ciation of good music. Just after the lesson w as read, the sweet solemn notes of the organ were heard and soon the magnificent voice of Miss Bessie Williamson, as clear and sweet ns a chime of silver bells, filled the church with melody. All w hose hearts are tilled w ith the spirit of charity and whose souls are at tuned to music were brought nearer J to God as the. liquid notes of the gifted singer rose and fell to the I strains of the grand organ, and ( >lm j many unuttered prayers ascended J for the sweet voiced musician who so; freely contributed her divine gift to add to the interest and solemnity of! the services. It has been truly said Unit the music of earth is designed to attune | our ears for the symphonies of heaven,; and when (tie voice of the singer is; hushed in this world, it is only that; it may join the mighty chorus of (be angelic choirs where, “Shall throb against the Jasper throne, Great seas of music when God’s own; On Seraph wings have thither flown.” W; ••'•V-Wv'- '• • • V - • V • ' . • ' ' - ^ - . - . .
