Baskins the Sole Hero of the Occasion. A MOST ?NGLORIOTJS "BUST." A Well-Delivered ?nd Conservative S?eeeh ? by Gen. E. W, Moise. As announced in the card published in the Watchman and Southron some weeks ago, a meeting was held here y sterday, but Gen. Chesnut, the principal speaker expected, did not attend-which will be explained by the following letter received lifter oar last issue had been published : CAMDEN, S. C., Feb. 27, 1882. To the Editors of the Sumter Watchman and Southron: I see from your last issne ?bat I am expect* ed to speak at Sumter on Monday, next. I regret to say that I am admonished by the condition of my family that I will not be able to keep the appointment. Be pleased to noti? fy any friends who may be disappointed by r my absence. Very rest>ectfu!ly yours. JAMES CHESNTJT. As usual on such occasions, a little music is always necessary to draw a' crowd, and in? spire tbem with emotions of patriotism, and accordingly, about one o'clock a drummer and a fifer came marching down Main Street and stoped in front of the Court House, beat? ing and blowing with all their might, and which very forcibly remided one of the music discoursed by Capt. Simon Sugg's band when the widow Betsy Haycock was court martial ed. After a tune or two was played, Mr. Thos. Baskins ascended the Coan Hou^e steps, and spoke io substance, as follows : Fellow citi? zens, I propose to organize a Citizen People's Rights Party, which will correct the ills We are now compelled to bear, and which were imposed upon us by the Democratic party-a ' ' party composed of a chosen few, and who are jjk running the government into tyranny. B^Wbat have the Democratic principles and roles done for ns ? Tes, fellow citizens, there is the registration law-a law that has three sides to it, and a front and a back. The j front was dog up out of an old radical law, and which has been remodelled and patched i np, and is full of sand to be thrown into the j people's eyes. And the back of it ts nothing ; bot a trap to destroy the liberties of the peo? ple. . ? Jnst about this time the gentleman became more enthusiastic, and seemed to think that in order to meet the exigencies of {.he occasion something more striking must be said, there? fore, with a great deal of vim of articulation he represented the legislators as astraddle the Trojan horse and galloping over our people rough shod. What the gentleman's idea was in placing our legislators on the back instead of into the belly of this classic animal, we I cannot imagine, unless he tbonght his colored brethren could not, even in their imagina ' tiona, see them as the speaker desired them to be seen. The gentleman having described the Trojan horse and his riders, then branched off by saying-yes, the Democrats picked up Westberry and carried bim as long as they had use for him, and when it was no more to their advantage to carry the "nigger" they let him drop ; and he deserves the sym? pathy of every one of you. Mr. Baskins said that be did not know Gen. Moise's politics, but that he knew him to be a man of brains, and he hoped that the General would make a speeh on this occasion, whereupon enthusiastic cries for Gen. Moise, most vociferously rang through the crowd. Gen. Moise being thus called ont, made an able conservative, and well-received speech, which we would now publish in full but for lack of time and space. Next week it will ap? pear in full. We feel warranted in saying that it threw a "considerable damper over the so-called "People's Movement." After he had finished his speech, the names of other gentlemen were called, but none of them re? sponded, and the meeting thereupon dispersed, from which it seemed that the "people," so called, were willing to abide by our laws without any effort at reform. We feel it our duty to reiterate the state? ment concerning the position o? the Watch nutnand Southron on the matter. We do not want any Reform through an Independent Party. We are reformed enough, and pro? pose to run on the main grand trunk line of Democratic principles. These Reform switch? es are dangerous. The News and Courier reaches Sumter now on the day it is published. We have received from Rev. A. A. Gilbert, a communication for the Watchman and South' ron. which will appear next week. The tribute of respect to Mr. R. P. Mayes by the Masonic Lodge at Mayesville, has been --unavoidably crowded out of this issue. It will appear in full next week. We publish, this week, the schedule of the S. C. Central R. R. The route is now through to Charleston for $4, arriving there at 4: 35, P. M. This is only a temporary schedule, wbicb is being run by the builders. When the road passes into the bands of the lesses, a permanent schedule will be estab? lished. Mr. M. G- Ryttenberg and family left Sum? ter last week for New York. Mr. Ryttenberg will purchase his spring stock before he re? turns. We desire to call attention to the c^d of Mr. H. A. Lowry which appears in this issue. Mr. Lowry is a man of energy and business tact, and proposes to pitch his tent permanent? ly in Sumter. We commend bim to our citi? zens, and bespeak their patronage for him. His diamond Shirts are a specialty. The runaway team of Mr. Tindall, of Man? ning created considerable alarm on Main street yesterday afternoon, as it was feared thal his wife and child who were ic the bug? gy might be injured. Martin Butler, colored, at tke risk of his life heroically ran before and stopped the frightened horses, thereby pre? venting any injuries, whatever, from happen? ing.) Hiknpty Dumpty's little pig after perform? ing iis part on last Saturday night died, and bia rtmaiua were tefl behind Music Hall. < 9 4 Remarks at the Fanerai of M] Marx E. Cohen, by Mr. Charle H. Moise. -o After reading a paraphrase of the Fifteent Psalm, he said : The above metrical paraphrase of the Fi teeuth Psalm is pecaliarly appropriate to th occasion, because we are assembled togetbe to convey to its last resting place the body < one, who in life strongly exemplified thos sterling virtues described by the Psalrois In bis remarks upon the Fifteenth Psalm, Di Adam Clarke, one of the mostableand liben of commentators, describes it as an epitonj of the "character of a true Israelite or a goo Christian." And upon the words "An speaketh the truth in his heart," he en?argt as follows ; "He is a true man ; in bim thei is no foist -way. He is no man of pretence speaking ant thing and meaning another, H professes nothing but what be feels and ir tends; with him there are no hollow frient ?hips, vain compliments nor empty profession of esteem, ?ott, regard or friendship. Hi mouth speaks nothing but what his heart die tates. His heart, his tongue and his hand ar all in unison. Hypocrisy, guile and dece bave no place in bis soul." If the learned and pious man who wrote th above, had known our departed friend h could not have described him more faithfull j Truly was he a sincere and truthful mac If, as the poet bas said, "An honest man7 the noblest work of God," then surely was ou deceased brother one of God's nobility ! Fo he was rigidly honest in all things. Hones in thought, honest in speech, honest in action Through a long life, and through all th changes and troubles with which this life i fraught, no act of falsehood or deceit wa ?ver charged against him. He was not wha we call a religious man. He did not preteui to sentiments which he did not feel. W deeply regret, that io addition to the fine qual ities of bead and heart which be possessed, i pious faith was not vouchsafed to bim. Te believing as we do that no man is responsibl for his faith or want of faith, it follows tha no man can be blamed for not practicing wha he does not believe. But when we apply t< the life and character of the departed the tes contained in the Psalm, we must claim fo bim the attributes which as the commentate s&ys constitute the true Israelite or the gooc Christian. Indeed Marx E. Cohen was in ali the mora qualities which can adorn or ennoble humat nature, a model man. He was brave, honest upright, true and faithful. As a husband how can his devotion, love and tenderness bi described? The language of Shakspearo car alone do justice to him : -"Whose love was of that dignity, That it went band in hand even with the vow He made to her in marriage." As a father he was gentle, kind and indul? gent. His home was bis world. As a citi? zen be was faithful to his duty3 as a friend b< was "trae as steel " Born to fortune, reared in luxury, he was I never an idler ; nor did he fall into those tempting habits of folly and dissipation which beset the sons of the rich. Temperate in all things from his youth, he turned bis advan \ tages to good account. Highly educated al home and abroad, his mind was well stored \ with information, but be was without vanity ? or self-conceit, and always respected the opin? ions of others. In the olden time, when he ! possessed wealth and comfort, his hospitality was unbounded, and many are the bappj memories of the joyous days passed in his genial home io Charleston, or at his pleasani country bouse at Ciear Spring ! And even in late years, when his fortune was seriously im? paired, his house was always open to his friends, and no man knew better how to at! the part of host. A Union man from hisyoutb, he did not enter heart and soul into the secession movement ; but he gave his only son to the canst of the South ; and in that narrow grave where the remains of that gallant youth repose, were buried much of his happiness, and many of his dearest hopes and aspirations. Accustomed for a large portion of his life to great physical suffering, he bore up under bodily affliction with great fortitude, and struggled manfully with disease, until at last after years of pain, his strong constitution and powerful will, overcame hts malady, and late in life he enjoyed for a time the blessings ofbeaHband strength. Of late he began to feel his health again failing, and for some time bas looked forward to a speedy and sndden termination to his long life. But death had no terrors for him. Conscious that he had done bis duty, as he understood it, be calmly awaited the end. It bas come just as he wished it, without a lingering illness, and apparently without physical pain. "An old man and full of years" he sleeps with his fathers, and leaves many sad hearts to mourn him. We who survive him may profit much by the example which his life presents for our contemplation, and in many respects for our emulation. He doubtless had bis faults. No man "born of woman" is free from sin. But his character and conduct through life present, as a whole, a subject for more praise than blame. To his bereaved wife and children his loss can never be repaired. No one can ever take his place with them. The silver cord which has been severed can never, in this world, be re-united. Tbe golden bowl which bas been broken, can never, in this life, be restored. But in that future state "where the weary are at rest;" in that life beyond the grave, where there is no pain or sorrow, he await.3 your coming. Learn then, afflicted friends, so to live while you remain bere, that you maj' await the end of your earthly career, as calm? ly as be did ; and so conduct yourselves here, tbat you may be worthy to meet him in that dwelling place "not made with hands eternal in the heavens." To you, my friends, who are too apt to measure men by your own, often erroneous, standard of merit, I ask that you look admir? ingly Uf on his many virtues, and charitably upon his few faults. "No further seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode, (There they alike in trembling hope repose) The bosom of his Father ana his God !" Temperance Speech. We take pleasure in announcing that Rev. Mr. B. K. Dougla?, of the ?tate of New Votk, will deliver a lecture oa Temperance, io the Music Hall, on Thursday night. Mr. Douglas is an able and interesting speaker, and will say something worthy of being heard. The impression bas been circulated, through a misunderstanding on the part of some, that an admission fee of 25 cts. would be charged. We are authorized to say tl at the lecture will be free to all who may come, and all are invited. -- - .
