Death of Hon. Lnngdon Cheves.

We cannot mention, without emotion, the death of
this distinguished man, which occurred in Columbia
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Cheyes was native of Abbeville District, and
born in the year l776. In his early life he filled q
large place not only in the history Of city but in
the history of the country Ina very short time after
his entry into the practice of law in city, he
at the head OF the bar, and was soon elected men,
ber OF the Legislature, where he served with distinc
ton. In 1910 he was elected member Of Congress
from this district in which capacity he served during
five years. he was one of that grand trio-Cheyes,
Lowndes and Calhoun-who led the administration
brought on the war of 1872. By his conduct in Con-
gress he established for himself grand and noble
position, and on the retirement of Mr. Clay from the
Speakership of the House, he was elected to fill his
place. Subsequently, he was appointed commits
soner to settle important questions arising out of the
treaty Of Ghent. In ls49, when the United States
Bank had been established and, by wild spirit of
speculation, had been brought to the verge of bank
ruptcy. he was appointed to its Presidency, with
view of retrieving its affairs.
It is in his conduct in this Office that, probably, Mr.
Cheves deserves most to be honored. He found the
bank on the brink of insolvency he regulated the
distribution Of its funds; he restored order to its
affairs, and redeemed to it the character which was
intended in its charter the faithful and honest
regulator OF the currency of the United States But
in doing So he obliged to put the dividends at
low rate, and wholly to suppress the dabbngs of the
spectators. The consequence was, that he was
an instrument of personal gain, and this to an ex-
tent that induced him to resign the Presidency. His
successor who was set up in order to satisfy these
DESIRES after declaring large dividends and giving
endless accommodations to political and commercial
applicants ended in the most tremendous bankruptcy
that has occurred since the days of the South Sea
bubble
After this time, Mr.. Cheyes seems to have taken
disgust to public life, and has never held any office
under the State the United States although he has
always taken an interest in all great public questions
that have arisen. Witness his elaborate essay over
the signature Of Say" published in this paper in
1885, on the great question then agtated, OF the
vival of the United States Bank, which forms the
most complete and conclusive discussion of the sub.
ject that has ever been published.
But one of the high features of Mr.. Cheycs
character was his public dsnerestedness. He never
sought office, and he accepted it, when he
thought he could do the State some service. When
he elected to fill the seat in the Senate vacated
by the death of our great Calhoun he only refused
because he old man, and unequal to the duties

THE LAND OFFICE CoNFLICT-There would seem
to be very little ground for misunderstanding of the

Land Office located at Winnsborough, and the nature

ground for the excitement, understand prevails in
regard to the titles to lands sold by the State Register
in that district.
The office in Winnsborough was established by Act
No. 2G6, approved March Is, 1856, for an explicit
and definite purpose-to wit =" The sale of located
lands donated to the State by Congress in the district
comprised in the parishes of Catahoula, Franklin,
Caldwell Ouachita, jackson, Moorehouse, Tensas,
Madison, Carroll and Winn."
Act go, of 1855, establishing the Land Office at
the seat of Government, gives the Register thereof
power to dispose of all INDICATED" public lands do
mated by Congress to the State and there is no act in
existence to invalidate his right to do so.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS AT THE ARsENAL.-A
large and distinguished company was present at the
arsenal yesterday morning for the purpose Of witness

made with the view of testing the comparative merits
of several kinds of firearms which the inventors Are
seeking to have introduced into the service Of the
United States. The Secretarieso War and the Navy,
officers of the army and navy and several well known
scientific gentlemen were present, besides many of
Colonel Colts revolving rife, Gen. Burnsides breech-

The experiments were made under the immediate in
