Death of Bishop Gadsden.

We announce with deep regret, the de-
cease of the Right Reverend Christopher Ed
wards Gadsden, ID. d., Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church,and Bishop of the Diocese
of South Carolina. He died at his residence
in this city, yesterday morning, at the age
OF GO years, after n period Of protracted de-
biity and sickness. Bishop Gadsden was
native of this city, and grandson Of Gen.
Christopher Gadsden distinguished worthy
of the revolution. He was graduate of
Yale College,and received his academic hon =
Ors in the same class with MIR. Calhoun. He
was ordained Deacon, July 25, 1907, by Bish-
op Moore, Of New York, and Priest in April,
1910, by Bishop Madison, Of Virginia. In
January, 1908, he was elected Rector Of Big
gen Church, in the Parish Of st. Johns, ,Berk-
ley, and resigned on the I'd Feb'y, 1910, to
enter on the duties Of Assistant Minister of
ST Phillips Church, in this city, to which of
hce he was chosen on the 2lst Dec, 1909.
On the 18th July, 1914, he was chosen Rec
tor of St Phillips as the successor of the
Rev. James I'ewar Simons, and continued to
oihciate there TO the time of his death. In
io40, he was elected Bishop # this Diocese,
as the successor of the Rt Rev. Nathaniel
Bowen, ID. d., and was consecrated in Trini-
ty Church, Boston, on Sunday, June 81, ,lS4O.
Bishop Gadsden was an eminent prelate
Of his Church, equally distinguished for deep
learning, elegance Of composition, and fer
vent piety. His amiable and benevolent
character, unassuming department and chris
tian liberality secured him at once the res
pect affection, not only Of his own denomi-
nation, but of our whole community. He
will long be remembered as an ornament of
his Church, and .mourned as one of the most
valued of our Divines and citizens. -
The Bells of our Churches were tolled
yesterday in respect TO his memory and his
funeral is to take place, this afternoon, at
half past five O'clock Charleston Courier.

Platform Of the Wing Party.

The following is the platform put forward
to the country by the Wing National Con-

The Wings the United States In Conyen-
ton assembled, adhering TO the great con-
servative republican principles by which they
are controlled and governed, and now, as
ever, relying upon the intelligence of the A.
merican people with an abiding confidence
in their capacity for selfgovemment, and
their continued devotion 10 the constitution
and the Union, proclaim the following "a their

the establishments and maintenance of which

by the consultation, and such as may be me-
cessary and proper for carrying the granted
powers into full execution, and that all pow.

are expressly reserved 70 the States Fespec

Regimental Review.

According to previous notice, review of
the militia regiment of this District took
place on Wednesday last The poor fellows
who were ordered out had a pretty hot time
of it; being compelled to stand on the pa
rade ground from three to four ho urs, under
a broiling sun. We cannot see the propri-
ETY. of calling together these musters, except
in the facility it gives to show the number
of men capable Of bearing arms in the hour
of need; as regards military tactics, it would
require vast amount Of drilling, and much
moro wholesome discipline to make them
understand "right from left" During the
short time we were on the ground, it seemed
as much as the officers could do to keep them
in line five minutes Mt time.
There was one company in uniform, num-
bering about one hundred rank and file, who
struck us as being fine company of young
men; and ifthey had had uniforms complete,
(caps and muskets of size,) would have
made good appearance.
Volunteer companies want that strict dis
cipline and soldier-like department which
characterize the regular troops, to become
skilled in the various maneuvres of the
field and camp.

Masonic Celebration.

Jackson Lodge, No. SO. of the ancient and
honorable fraternity of Masons, held festi-
val in this village on Thursday last, (St.
Johns day. The procession marched in
order to the Methodist church, proceeded
by Capt Cauther's Band, where highly ere
ditable addresses were delivered from Col.
J. B. Kershaw and Mr.. A. Austin; after
which the procession was again formed, with
the addition of large number Of ladies
who brought up the rear, (Which is the posi-
of honor in Masonic processions)-marched
to MIR. Mayors Hotel, where a bountifu
dinner was in waiting. We are Informed
that about sixty Masons, and seventy-five
ladies-their wives, daughters, mothers and
sisters-wcre present, both in the process.

Fourth of July.

Somey years ago, we believe Represent
ative in the Legislature, from All Saints,
or some where else, proposed to postpone
the 4th of July to Christmas, as matter
of economy, we suppose. We do not rec
ollect what disposition was made of the
proposition. and had forgotten the occur
renee until remainded of it by the fact,
that our good citizens have acted upon the
suggestion. Now as between the two we
expect jolly time about the 25th of
December next: we take this early OPP
portunity, to note the circumstance. that
every body and the rest of mankind, may
attend and partake with us. Mark, we do
not intend this as a hint that as we are
to have no Fourth of July in Cheraw, we
should like to be invited some where else
on that occasion.
W@ We copy the above from the Cheraw
Gazette, and think it will do very we'll for
this latitude without any comments of ours.
For our part, we boldly say we ,oould like
to be invited somewhere else on the Fourth.
From the silence on the subject here, we
almost forget that there is such a day at ALL
We believe the Almanac tells us it falls on
Sunday; but whether it is to be put off till
Monday, or whether the patriotic inhabitants
of this happy land are going to take old
father Time by the forelock. aud enjoy the
GLORIOUS Fourth" on Saturday, we cannot
say. We would, however, recommend the
latter day, so that those who wish to 90 on a
bust Gas too many do on that day. they will
have the following day for reflection. To
put it off till Christmas, and "kill two birds
with one stone" might do very we'll by way
of economy; but we question if any one who
has entered into the spirit and hilarty of the
Fourth, could enjoy it so well on any other
day. The Fourth of July is not celebrated
in these days of telegraphic speed and GO
aheadiveness, as it used to be in "the good
old times" 1t has given place to the buis-
ness-like, calculating, money-saving age, in
which we live. Now, it is thought sheer
folly to speed even one almighty dollar
to celebrate our National Independence; and
from present appearance, the day seems not
far distant when it will be numbered among
the things that were.

A Present.

Alarge, well grown, Spring Turnip, was
sent to this office on Monday, by Mr.. II. R.
Massey, from the lower edge of Union,
which surpasses anything our own District
has yet shown. 1t measured 20 inches in
circumference, and weighed 81 pounds. 1t
was planted the Goth April-being n few
days more than two months in attaining its
growth. 1t would be acceptable if Reese
could inform us his plan of raising such
egetables-whether the seed were of new
order-or how he prepared his laud-or
was the turuip trying to reach his dimensions,
as did the frog in the fable.

Rail Road to Lancaster.

The Ledger contains a call for n public
meeting at that place on the first Monday in
July, to consider the subject of a Railroad
connection with the Charlotte Company at
this point. We have before spoken of this
enterprise, and expressed the opinion that IL
was an importance well worthy the consid-
Grafton of our people. If constructed, it
would bring to our road quantity of travel
and produce, that would not otherwise reach
it and the section ofcountry through which
1t is proposed to be built, as also that living
beyond Lancaster, is sufficiently wealth and
Populous to furnish il large amount of
business.
We trust that our citizens Of Chester will
not be indifferent to this meeting at Lancas-
ter. It's, perhaps, too late for formal ap-
Pointment Of persons to attend il, and 1t must
therefore rest upon those TO attend who can
conveniently do -Cheaervilk STANDARD.

of our country friends-yea, and those in
town toto the advertisement of Mr.. Eli
c. Bishop, which will Le found in our adver-
sising columns. We have personally ex-
amined Mr.. BIS stock of goods, and were
really surprised to see them put down at so
low price. He has every thing which you
possibly can want, either in the Dry Goods,
Grocery, Medical, Book, Servant, or any
other line. He is n man that understands
business, and is not blind to the advantages
of Observation-Disclosures he is bound to
succeed.

[FoR THE. LEDGER.

Mr.. Ed.tor:-In your paper oftho I'd June
/ observed kind and complimentary notice
of my name in connection with the Senate
rial office in this District, signed by "a VO-
ter" from Pleasant Hill.
In reply to which, must tender to the
writer Acknowledgements of gratitude, with a
full appreciation ofthe honor intended to be
conferred remarking at the same time, that
personal Kindness towards me, more than
my own merit, has contributed to the very
complimentary terms employed.
The position in which his communication,
together with the urgent solicitations of
many citizens of the District. places me, is
not of my own seeking. 1t was my inten-
ton and desire to have remained a private
citizen, for reasons which thought entirely
sufficient to justify me, and / so stated re-
peatcdly to my fellow citizens my inclina-
tons but from the continued solicitations
of many friends, and the expression of their
prefercncc,I have been induced to forego that
conclusion, and to submit myself to the
choice of the people of the District.
lfmy fellow citizens see proper to elect
me, twill be another evidence of their con-
tldcncc, and shall endeavor to serve them
to the best of my ability. If their choice,
however, should be otherwise, shall be en-
tircly satisfied.

The Wing National Convention.

We do not deem the proceedings of this
body Of sufficient interest," now, since they
have nominated their candidate, and have
adjourned, to devote our columns exclu-
sively to it; as from their great length we
should be compelled to do, if we gave the
details in full. Below will be found sy-
nopsis of the last days proceedings, also the
platform laid down by the Convention.
AS to who is the most popular candidate,
we cannot as yet determine-but from the
notices of the press in all parts of the couu.
try, we should Judge that both candidates
are held up as about the best nominations
that could be made
Tee Richmond Wing predicts that this
will be the most animated Presidential con.
test ever witnessed in this country, and that
that of '49 was nothing to what this will be,
and states that if the Wings will unite, Gen
Scott will receive greater vote than Gen
Harrison.
In speaking of the nomination of Mr..
Graham, of North Carolina, as Vice-Presi.
dent, the Washington Republic believes
that more safe and acceptable selection
could not have been made, and says that the
nomination is due to the true and tried
Wings of the old North State, and will be
cordially responded to by the Wings of the
Union.
BALTIMORE, June 81.
The Convention re-assembled this NOR
ming at 10 o'clock. and Immediately pro-

And Gen. Scott having received a ma
jority of all the votes, was declared duly
nominated.
Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, then read a
despatch which he had just received from
Gen. Scott, in Washington, in which he
made his acknowledgements for the honor
conferred upon him by the nomination OF
the Wing National Convention; accept
ing the same, with the platform laid down
by the Convention.
The reading of this despatch excited the
strongest enthusiasm, and the Convention
by unanimous vote declared Gen. Scott
the Wing nominee for the Presidency
This announcements was received with a
salute of artillery by the Wings of Balti-
more. The Convention then adjourned
until o'clock.
At o'clock the Convention ro-asembled,
and on the second ballot, William A.
