DEPARTED THIS LIFE,

On Wednesday last, after protracted illness,
THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, in the 9lst
year of her age.
The deceased was highly esteemed in days gone
by for vigorous intellect, incorruptbc integrity,
and unparalleled virtue. These shining qualities
extorted respect even from her enemies, and made
her name the synonyms of all that is great and
good. Hor sons were imbueI with love of truth,
reverence for patriotism, and high regard for virtue
The teachings of their mother inspired fal love
and respect, and their strong arms were ever ready
to defnd the right or espouse the cause of justice
Their attachment vas exhibited on oil uecasions
and was not diminished by misfortune ncr de-
sroyed by overwhelming disasters. Such were
the sentiments and feelings of those nearest and
dearest to the lamented deceased, and they are
given as proof of the character borne through q
prolonged life of vicissitudes and trials. Some
six or seven years ago, the deceased became in
yolyed in serious domestic troubles requiring the
sternest foritude, most determined will, and en-
during patience. Her character now shene bright
est, und her children clung to their mother with
On ardor and implicit faith unsurpassed in the an
misfortuncs, and weighed down by reverses, this
Roman matron was compelled at last to relinquish
her claims and forfeit the accumulai0ns of a CEN
tury. Her property was despoilcd and swept away
in the twinkling of IN eye and in her old age, she
was left pennilcss and bankrupt. all this did not
suffice to wiring from the hearts of her children up
braidines for her conduct. They adhered yet
more closely to their natural protector, and united
with renewed ardor in an effort TO retrieve misfor-
tunes and regain former prosperity. But Fate de-
creed otherwise. In the spring of 1865, she was
violently attacked by gems dc guere, and never af-
terwards recovered from the distressing malady.-
Lingering in IN uncertain state, with the aid of
eminent medicul advisers, false hopes were engen-
dcred, and it was confidently believed that her re-
covery was entirely probable Indeed, under the
treatment of distinguished physicians, gandual inn
provement was perceptibe, and her once vigorous
frame showed signs of life and activity. The illu-
sion, however, was of short duration. The rgors
of stern winter undermined her constitution 80
completely that violent return Of the malady
brought swift decay, and in MI incredible short
period life was extinct. Thus passed away one of
the noblest of earhs illustrous lnatrons Her ex-
ample lives TO adorn the page of history, and future
generations will reverence her exalted chnrace
and weep at the story of her wrongs. iJcr or
phanei children are now left desolate and SORROW
full, and the fatal disease that preyed upon their
beloved mother is their only Inheritance. In the
extremity of their woe, they can only exclaim,

WAeHlNoroN, March 15.-In the Senate, II joint
resolution prohibiting the introduction of malt or
spirituors liquors into the capitol passed a bill
aiding the Southern branch of the Union Pacific
Railroad and Telegraph Company, was introduced.
The supplemental bill was resumed, and an amend

amendment directing that after registration, the
Commanding General Of the District may order an
election for convention, when the Provisional
Government orders convention, was negntived.
After q very lengthy debate, o motion to 90 into
executive session stoutly resisted by the friends
of the speedy passage of the bill, and it finally
prevailed, by one majority. Mr.. Sherman intro
duced joint resolution, removing disability from
holding Office from Jos. T. Brown, of Georgia, and
R. M. Patton, of Alabama, which referred to
tho Judiciary Committee. After executive session,

was adopted. and the resolution passed. Adjourn

sTrRL1u,3,s SOUTHERN SERIES.

The teachers in this latitude have long felt the
necessity for standard series of School Books,
promulgated by one of our own race and Lineage,
whose prejudices would prevent the introduction of
invidious comparisons between the different seq
tions. 1t is notorious fact that Northern publi-
cations have persistently incorporated the idea
that The growth and magnitude of this country be-
longed properly to that enlightened section and of
late years their authors have not been too scrupu
lous to make comparisons. to the detrment of our
people. Since the termination of hostilitics this
is especially true and it behooves the land of JACK
SON and LEE to prevent the rising generation from
being instructed in pernicous ideas and dangerous
dognas We should likewise seek to guard against
the opposite extreme, and allow the youth TO be
trained in fair and legitimate instruction.
This desideratum is likely TO be reached in the
series of Southern School Books just published by
Prof. RICHARD STERLING, of Greensboro, N. G.
The:author is an experienced teacher, and has un
dertaken this work with mind fully impressed
with the necessity referred to. While endeavorinG
to do justice to distinguished writer's and speakers
from every quarter, in the preparation of the series
of Readers, he has very properly given due pre-
ponderance to the massive intellects of the South
and the youth of our land must hereafter become
better acquainted with the ideas and motives Of
those who have essayed in the past to direct pub
lie opinion. Without excluding extracts from the
field of English literature, Prof. STERLING has
happily accomplished, in these ample pages, the
work of preparing Southern youth for proper cs-
innate of native talent.
In regard to the Primers and Elementary Spell
ing Book comprised in this series, We are free to
confess an admiration for their arrangement and
design. The Illustrated Primer is not excelled
and must become exceedingly popular among the
children.
We append list of the works just issued from
the press, and cordially invite the attention of
teachers throughout the District to o specimen

TIE COUNCIL OF THE WIRE
WORKERS..


The Radical plotters held a political
council in Washington last week, in
which the party prospects and plans were
freely discussed. The tone Of all the
speeches looked to securing the negro
vote of the Southern States as absolutely
essential to the success of the party in
the coming Presidential election ASH
ly, of Ohio, frankly confessed that, with
out it, he was by no means certain that
they would not be defeated The chief
object of the meeting was to raise money
to effect the object by sending trusty
emissaries to the conventions to see that
constitutions were adopted, which would
secure such franchise regulations as
would certainly gain the negroes the pre-.
ponderance and to have the work hur-
ried up, so as to give admittance for such
States by November next. 1t was stated
that a large amount of money had all
ready been used for that purpose, but the
urgency of the case demanded as much
more The demands Of the speakers
were vehement, and the whole proceed
ing was one of the most bare faced exhi-
billions of partyism that United States
Senators and Congressman were ever
guilty of

and the government was sustained by
majority Of the members. M
The vote on impeachment was taken
amidst much excitement and win pro-
found silence on the part ofthe audience,
save when a buzz ran along the galleries
following upon some unexpected vote being
OWEN pro or con. Some vent to the ex-
cited feeling was afforded from time to
time by the laughter occasioned by odd ex-
cuses and explanations made by different
members. Thad. Stevens was not in the
hall when the vote was taken, but came in
subsequently, and was the last or tftyN
seventh man TO vote afhrmatively for i'm
parchment. 1t was expected by some OF
the friends Of Gen. Butler that when the
test question came he would vote no, but
while he seems TO have felt himself COM
mitted TO the impeachment theory, he
lodged when the vote was taken. The
fifty-seyen impeachers are being made very
sick Of the late scheming against the char
acter Of the President and the peace OF the
country. Democrats are quiet, but the Re
publican members allow the plotters very
| little peace, as they are constantly taunt
| ing them with their failure, and predicting
for them political population at home
An effort ia now being made to ASCERTAIN
the cost OF getting up the testimony befor
this and the several other investigation
! committees. Ii is rumored that the Ser
geantsst- Arms Of the House has charges
up $50, 600 a. his fees for summoning wat

THE vote Of the House, on Saturday
last, passing the bill reported by the
Ways and Means Committee, suspending
the authority OF the Secretary of the
Treasury to make any reduction in the
currency by returning or caneelling
United States notes, by l27 to %, will
somewhat startle the advocates ofresump>
ton of specie payments. 1t is but the
beginning of that practical Legislative
opposition to Mr. McCullochs financial
policy, which, sooner or later, must
eyehtuate in prohibiting the increase of
gold interest bearing bonds, and in pay
ing the creditors of the government in
the lawful money of the government

THE RAILROAD APPROPRIATIONS

We omitted to editorially mention on
Sunday the passage of the omnibus bill
on its final reading in the Senate, lit
having already passed the House of
Representatives by vote of II to 5.
There was great rejoicing among the
friends of the railroad system over this
result, and, as one of them, we congratu-
late the various enterprises included, on
the Aattering prospects before them.
The railroad interest of the State is by
this action, indeed it was before, the
largest item of State business; and,
requires for its safe and successful man
sgement the best judgment and capacity
that can be used There is an officer
called the Commissioner of Roads TO
whom certain duties are assigned in
regard to the State connection with
the internal improvement system but
the great importance of this matter seems
to us to make necessary a separate bu-
reau for railroad finances. Its head
should be invested with general super
vision Of the stock, actual and contingent,
that the State owns in the various works
of this kind. He should ill the relation
TO that branch Of financial business, that
the Comptroller and Treasurer hold to the
general State treasury. Such an officer,
if created, should be clothed with large
powers to protect the bonds of the State
from abuse: and in every proper mans
ner to take care of the public credit
plighted to the railroads. An incumbent
for such position should be man of
ripe business experience and high char
acter, and should be elected by joint
ballot of the Legislature.

IMPEACHMENT-ExET.

The stone is rolled over the mouth Of
the sepulchre, inclosing that execrable
proposition to impeach the President of
the United States, and depose him from
Office. Fifty-seven members of the
House of Representatives have inches
prepared for their political remains in
the same gloomy receptacle. No more
mention will be made of the scheme, and
after vain strut of few more briei
hours on the stage of public life, the
places that now know its authors will
know them no more Sic transit etc., etc
The overwhelming vote by which this
abominable project was aborted, is sig
nifcant It is not only personal tri-
umph of the President, but it is victory
in behalf of the public tranquility over
the reckless promoters of discord. 1t is
q fruit of the popular awakening exhibit
ed in the recent elections, and is crown
ing and conclusive evidence that the
doom of Radicalism is written.
