To the Clergy of the Protestant Epi*eo
pal Church io the Diocese of Sooth
Ctrolina, and to nor Brethren, all
other Ministers of the Gospel
throoghewt tho State. Greeting :
Beloved in the Lord, at the last
meeting of oor diocesan council the fol?
lowing preamble and resolution s were
adopted, to wit :
Whereas, the growing disregard of
haman life has caused the crime
of homicide to become more pre?
valent aod flagrant io our la Dd, on til.
the blood-gui hi oe PS of oor people bas
become to offence aad crying shame to
tho sensibinrisa of ohorch and State ;
and
Believing that public opinion should
be greatly influenced, and can be mo?t
safely formed, upon the prioefples of
Cbristaio morality
Resolved, That this council do ex?
press its solemn condemnation of this
terrible etil'; and in order to arp?se a
wholesome public sentiment opto this
mest seri?os subject,
Resolved, farther. That the bishop
be requested to call opon the elergy of
the diocese to preach opon some
Sunday, to be appointed by bim,
.gain?! the awful orime.
Resolved, farther, That the bishop
be requested to issue an address pray?
ing, io the name of this council, the
cooperation of the elergy of all church?
es and religion^ deoom i nations io this
effort, and requesting them to joio the
cl? rgy of this church upon one day to
be so appointed, io preaching opon noe
subject, and appealing to the ?-?opio of
the Stats to pat away the corse ti
blood - gailtoess. which eries oat, "alas!
from the land? agaton as.
io compliance with the acion of
council, I beg to address you this let?
ter The do of morder is upon os.
Homicides are " of frequent distressing
oeourence, aod io oar judgment the
public conscience needs to he instruct?
ed sod the public miod aroused to a
sense pf the danger which threaten H
the character of oar people.
They need to be instructed upoo the
sacredness of humao life as a gift of
Almighty God, whose prerogative is to
take ?bat fie alone cao give
Yt ithoot'warrant from Bim no man
may lawfully tafee his brother's life
The soldier ot? the battlefield, the
officer of tbe law io discharge of bis
prescribed duties, the oitisso io defence
cf his o wo life may take life,- without
incurring the gcilt of murder, for they
act by warrant of delegated authority
of ..raleiw," who are "God's ministers"
and "'bear tbe sword," by Divine aa
tb or ky, "to'po a is h evil doers;" but
such murders ts have of late outraged
tilts law of God, and degraded th? sa
credo a is of life, and dishonored the
courage and character of our people,
eau lay no e-aim whatsoever to the
sanction of Divine authority.
We fool, beloved, that public senti?
ment needs to be aroused to a higher
and nobler estimate of human life We
call upoo our clergy to rebuke tbe mur
derer, and to proclaim the law of
Almighty God given to consecrate and
bless the life of every man, made io
His im -ge. upheld by His -Providence,
acd redeemed by tbe preci?os blood of
His ooly soo, our Saviour, Jesus
Christ.
I therefore appoint Sunday, the 19th
of Deoem'ber, tbe fourth Sonday io Ad?
vent, on which day 1 CK!) opon the
clergy of the diocese to preach again
tbe crime of murder, DOW SO prevalent
io our State ; and I most respectfully
io vite oar brethren, the ministers of
Christ, of sli denominations, to anite
with as OD that day io upholding the
majesty of God's law, the saoredoess of
boman life, aod the honor of our
beloved State. Faithfully,

Sheriff of Charleston Coan
tv.
Ex-Chief Martin Appointed
Yesterday.
"Too can simply state that J, fil?
more Martin will be appointed sheriff
of Charleston county to eucceed the
late Sheriff Ferguson " That was
the message the governor telephoned
to a representative cf The State about
2:10 p. m yesterday when the exe?
cutive mansion was called np, and
it was the first time that any an?
nouncement had been made from the
chief executive in regard to the ap
pointment The announcement pot
an end to all speculation as to who
would be the Ic?ky man standing un
der the tree when the plum fell The
official statement of the appointment
will doubtless be Sled with the eece
tary of elate'for record today.
The governor waa asked if he
cared to give any statement to ac?
company the announcement. He re
plied that be bsd no such statement
to give ; he cared to say nothing at
all about it Fie had selected the
man and told the public who that man
was ; that waB sufficient.
Yesterday morning when called
upon Governor Ellerbe stated that he
had consented to give Mr J fl.
Perrine, who was an applicant for the
position, a bearing before making the
appointment and had appointed 1 p.
m. to hear bini : be stated further
that he would telephone the result
from the executive mansion at 2
o'clock Mr Perrine catted and had
hie "seance** with the cjrief execu
ti ve. Later Mr. Cant weft of Charles?
ton appeared and bad a brief talk
with the governor.
When the news came down that
Mr Martin wao appointed no sur?
prise was expressed by the Cbarles
tonfans who were in the city and in
terested in the result No one else
seems very much surprised The
indications had been for several days
that Mr. Martin would be th6 man
