of South Carolina, died at his residence nea:
Hamburg, in that State, Sunday, the 18th
inst He was born in Newbery, s. O., No
vember Is, 1907. and was consequently with
in two days of 81 years OF age. He gradua-
ted at South Carolina College, studied Law,
and was admitted to the bar in. 1928. In
1880, he became editor Of a pslitical journal
at the capital of his State, in which he sus-
tanned with zeal and ability the doctrine Of
State rights. and advocated nullifcation as a
| remedy against oppressive acts Of Federal
legislation. He became member of the
military family of Governor Hamilton, and
subsequently of Governor Hayne, and in the
exciting controversies and events Of that
memorable and prophetic era bore conspi-
cuous part In 1885, after the pacification,
he was elected member Of the United States
House of Representatives. At the end of his
term, he voluntarily retired from that service
and visited Europe, whero he remained more
than year. In 1912, ho was elected Gov
ernor of tie Staso of South Carolina. While
Governor of the State he published letter
to the Fr1e Church of Glasgow, and two 9th.
ers, in reply to an anti-slaverY circular of
Thos. Clafkson, the English Abolitionist. in
which he set forth the sanctions, the utility,
and the berefcence of slavery, wi b a clear
ness of statement, an opulence of authority
and illustration, and cogcncy Of reasoning,
never surpassed in any of the nnmberless cs-
says and dissertations on this subject. These
letters are models of styl,, and thoroughly
exhaust the subject thcy discuss. "A number
of his discohrses and trcatiscs oil other public
questions remain, as proofs Of a noble intel
qact and an enlare ed course of reading and'
observation. In 1857, he was elected to the
Senate of tie United States to fill vacancy

Is the Servant Greater than the Master !
This question, first propoundcd by him
who spale rs men never spake before, might
with great deal of propr;cty~he addressed
to our clann;sh dark lantern Congress Near
ly, If not quite half, Of its sessions. are thus
spent, and when we consider that the NUT
touheads who compose it are nothing more
than the agents Of IN enlightened, intclli-
gent and free people, it is u matter of aston
ishment that they should presume so far upon
their superior consequence as to shut the
doors Of the capital, and thus in secret lcgis.
late in reference to the affairs of q constituent
cy who cannot be trusted with knowledge
of the disposition of their own business.
This custom has prevailed long enough
and we should protest against it in future.
AS citizens We do not pray for it as priv
ilage; but demand iti g right The hum
best citizen in the government has asmuch
interest at stake as any member Of Congress,
has right that is undcniable to the fullest
degree of information in reference to the con-
duet of his public servant. We havo 70 doubt
but member ofthat body hare forgotten who
they are. Instead Of the servants they be-
gin 10 consider themselves the masters of tho
people.
This false conception is the. result of the
same ignoranc: and weakness that has char
acterized SO many ofthc actions Of cur Ma
tional Legislature. Let us thunder for ad-
mission at the doors OF the capitol during
their secret sessions. They have no more
right to shut themselves mp there than the
planters negro has to 90 into his smokckouse
and close the door after him, in order to pre-
vent any one else from knowing what dispo-
sition he is making Of bis bacon.
There is not man in the courtry, an acre
of land, or dollar, that belongs to Congress.
They belong to the. people, and Congressman
are only delegated to control them. Then
why. resolve into secretscssion, ,;:ghen meas
IRE is to be- discussed with which the intel
liscnt portion ofthe people are more fawi-
liar than q majority Ct Congrcssmen. 1t is
