Death of Senator Butler.


On Tuesday last, the Hon. A. P. Butler OF oouth
Carolina, died at Edgefeld, in that State, in the
midst of his friends. gallant and chiValrous gen.
tleman, an able and faithful champion OF the Con
sttuton and the rights of the South, is gone anu Dis
place will be hard to FILL it, indeed, it can be hlieo'
few brief months since, as we marked Dis Ven'
cradle form in the Senate chamber, hsilong, snowy
locks streaming back in heavy masses, OR falling IL
careless dsarray around his striking countenance,
we could not but feel that his was the most imposing
presence in the hall,-that by which the eye would
be first arrested, and that in regard to which the
stranger would first enquire Even then, that once
state " form was bent, that noble head bowed defect
edly upon his Breast apparently needless of what
was passing, until something would come up appeal
ing TO his pride as a Carolnian, his interest as
Southern man, or his broad patriotism as Senator
of the United States then the apparent lethargy
would be cast of-the fire OF old days Hash out
and the aped Senator would address himself TO the
subject in hand, with all the energy Of youth, tenn
pered by the wisdom and experience of age. With
all the impulsiveneSs OF the fiery Soubron,' Sena
tor Butler had all the hghtoned courtesy OF the true
Southern gentleman, and never was known, we be-
lieve, to trench upon the privileges OF debate
:wantonly iDure the feelings of even his bitteres
opponent, needessly insult even the most reckless
assailant of his State or section.
We last saw him just after the death OF the lament
ed Brooks-tne whom he had loved as q son, AM
whose sudden departure preyed heavily upon tn
feelings of III venerable Senator Even then it va
feared that too, would soon follow, and the place
that knew him, would know bin no more toreV
er. The brave, the noble, the chivalrous are gone
and Charles Sumner, the whining, whipped cur
the foul defamer of better men than himself stll
pollutes the earth with his presence.

AN UNPLEASANT CUsToM.-In the reign of the
profigate Charles II it was customary, when gen.
teman drank a lady's health. 10 throw some article
of dress into the flames in her honor and all his com,
panions were obliged to sacrifice similar article,
whatever 1t might be. One of Sir Charles Sedey's
friends perceivng that he wore very rich lace
cravat, drank 10 the health of certain lady and threw
his cr"vat in the fire. Sir Charles followed his exam
pie very good nauredIy, but observed that he would
have joke histurn AfterW ards when he ned with
the same party. he filled bumper to some regning
beauty, and called on dentist to extract a decayed
tooth which had long panied him. Etiquette de-
manded that every one of the party should have a
tooth extracted and thrown into the fire. TO which
they all yielded, after many murmurs about the cru

De- Last evening Griffith j. McRee, ESQ., delivered
the third of the series OF lectures in aid of the Mount
Vernon Fund.
His subject was the Convention OF 1888 called 70
consider the question of ratifyiug or rejecting The
Constitution adopted by the National Conventions
presided over by George Washington
Mr.. MCRee's introductory remarks were conceived
in fine taste. and prepared the audience Tor fuller
appreciation of the subecmatter OF his DISCOURSE
He referred 10 Washington, in connection with the
constitution The influence Of bis name IN COM
mending that instrument 10 the country-to the
gratitude due 10 him from that country which he
served so WE'LL gratitude felt, although hidden under
a sordid growth of cares, which it was the duty OF
the women of America 10 clear away. They had
undertaken that duty and who could doubt the ire
sstabty of their Influence when exerted in so holy
cause They had determined TO purchase and or
nament the tomb of Washington. and it would be
done.
The lecturer carried his hearers back 10 the era
which formed the theme of his discourse, by reading
10 them tracts from the correspondence OF the lead
inc shirts Of that day in North Carolina, illust atpg
and adjoining his subject BY brs but pointed sketches
of the leaders of the Federalist and nFederalIs'
parties in the Stale The eloquent and chivalrous
but vain and snowy, Davie. The cool, clear headed
and convincing Iredell-the irritable and impeiuous
vet generous and sagacouS, Mclean Joseph Jones
of Halifax, the leader of the party opposed to the
ratification, and the most influential politician in The
State All these and others were revealed ~ g
few mastery strokes, together with the hopes anc
fears, arguments and nrigues, with which they were
l. A. .h0lHe HNWt
friends of ratification failed-fnally they succeeded
This, however, belongs TO the domain of genera
history. What preceded was mainly new and orIgl
nal, and came to US with all the fascination OF tale
and all the assurance of truth.
The closing remarks were distinguished by The s0m
beauty of thought and ehasteness OF language which
