,rhn Test in Hamburg.

WE observe that Charleston paper has copied n

prononncc the recen, election of Council in Hamburg
n triumph of the Anti.ga,e mriy. This Is rather
erroneous representation, if the information we have
received be correct have reason TO regard il.
AS we underdand the matter, question Of The sort
entered into this election. Even if it did, we can
scarcely see what there is in the result to be Dragged
on by the Anti.gaters. OF the old Town Council,
there were three who stood candidates for reelection.
Two of them were violent Angaters, while the third
was CaruIi IA CATER. The two former were beaten,
while the latter was handsomely elected. Add TO
this that Jolly KENNEDY himself, one Of the Carroll
ma gate propre,ors, honored with place among
the Wardens and we can't we'll see into tho triumph
claimed by the Anti-gaters.

Death of Judge Thomas sumpter Mays.

WE have received, with deep regret. the intelligence
of the death of this eminent citizen of Alabama.
THOMAS SUMTER MAYS was q native Of Edgefeld
District, and lived here until manhood, when he
cu,lr to seek new home in the West. His fortunes
led him to settle in Montgomery. Alabama, Of which
pare he remained q citizen until the day Of his DEATH
By his worth nnd ability he rapidly gained favor in
his Western home, and rose to a prominence and nse-
funess which made him the pride Of his friends. His
position at the Montgomery bar was high AMI enva.
BILE one. ns his elevation to The bench concl,sivey
shows His political popularity coextensiye with
the knowledge Of his liberal and lighoned character,
and for some years he occupied The first rank in the
Senate Of his adopted Stale.
THOMAS SUMTER MAYS was a South Carulinan,
doubly dyed, the last days Of his life During the
excitement Of 81 and '52 his feelings were powerfully
drawn on, towards his mother State. Well do We
know the intense anxiety with whcl, he warhed her
course at that time 1t was the fond devotion and So
lici.ude Of an absent but still devoted son, ready To
come 10 his parents ald at the first call of the ocsin.
But our friend has gone to the grave. And may God
resi- his SOUL
