Among the many gentlemen, have
been pleased to meet with here from
good old Newberry and the regions be-
yond, was the Rev. T. H. Pope, General
Agent Of the Baptist State Convention,
making q tour of the State on mission
work. He was in fine health, and |
learned from him that he had met with
courteous treatment and success gener-
ally. The benevolent citizens, of New
berry, proverbial for their good works,
need only be told that he is on duty.
Their response is sure to follow. Mr..
Paxton, formerly of the Charleston
Evening News, now of the Sumter
Watchman, was also here, as genial and
young looking as he was 10 years ago.
He gave me the light of his countenance
several evenings.

Washington dispatch states that at re-
cent interview between Senator Sprague
and Representative Garfield, the former
said he had no doubt in his mind,
that Stanton's case was clearly within
the Tenure Of Office act, and that the
Presidents position was therefore unten-
able. Both Garfield and Sprague agreed
that the President was dangerous man,
and ought to be removed for acts COM
mitted. Sprague admitted that the views
Of Justice Chase were rather unorthodox,
but intimaied that he did not agree with
Chase.

The London prsss on pisraei,s Defeat.

The wild cheers withwhich the Liber.
ais exulted over Disraeli's defeat last
Saturday morning proclaimed, as it
were, the recognition of public opinion
as the new sovereign power which is
henceforth destined to rule Great Bril-
tain. These cheers were at once
loudly echoed by the London press,
with but one dissenting voice, &C.
cording to the cable telegram.
The London Times is particularly ju-
bilant. 1t regards the rejection of Lord
SANKEY'S amendment to postpone con.
sideration until the next Parliament,
and the adoption of Mr.. Gladstone's res
olution to go into committee, as merely
the first steps of an operation resolved
upon by the Commons-the removal of
this cancer of the empire" the Irish
Church. The Times confidently pre-
diets that the national will is soon to be
expressed and in uncertain sound; sit
will insist that the work so happily begun
shall be thoroughly performed. This
mornings vote is the dawn of reunited
empire. The wrongs of ages
are to be ended and right done amid the
reclamation Of the nation. This must
guarantee peace" The London Post
concludes an editorial article on the
same theme by saying: "This vote is
the death warrant of the Irish Church.
No fairer trophy has been won by the
liberal party since the Emancipation act
of 1929" The journals which we have
cited unquestionably indicate what
the Times calls 1.-THE vast balance of
opinion in the United Kingdom"
But the London Standard, the organ
of the tory party, remains obstinately
steadfast in its incredulity as to the pro-
gress of the latest revolution in Great
Britain, and declares the effect of this
vote will be to waste the session without
advancing the object proposed single
STEP" None are So blind as those who
will not see, and, however closely the
tories may shut their eyes to the fact, this
vote is in itself "a single step" of vast
importance as the longest and most ma
jestic stride which Britannia has taken
for many year in the path toward
justice and liberty. Disraeli's de-
feat involves consequences far more
important than any possible change
of ministry. 1t shows that the Brit
ish people, by their Parliamentary
representatives, refuse to postpone
any longer the question of the Irish
Church, and that they are being rapidly
educated to desire and demand Interior
reforms which the logic of events must
render inevitable. The disendowment
of the Irish Church will be an immense
concession to the voluntary principle,
and will exercise an incalculable inhu-
ence on the future of the British empire.

Day of the Floral Tribute.

We like the suggestion off Gen. Pike
that the day should not be changed from
the 26th because of its occurrence on
Sunday. Perhaps it is not too late To al
ter the alteration. What can be more
appropriate to sacred day than the sa-
cred commingling of our words and loves
and tears over the graves Of our beloved i?
Can the heart be more moved to charity,
the mind to piety and the soul to God by
any other process than by this, wherein
we are reminded of our mortality, warned
of responsibility, and melted in tender
remembrances of sffliction2 Even the
sublime and the awful in nature and
religion may fail to move the callous
mind. But there is nothing human
which can stand unmoved in presence of
the solem mites of the grave, And he
who will 60 there will leave better man
than he went. 1t is the place Of places
for Sabbath's improvement The
preachers and the people ought to 60
there together. And then we predict ten
times the good will be done which ever
resulted from any single days work by
fashionable preachers in silk-stockiDg
churches.

The death Of Rev. DR.. Howell, Of Nash
Vile, Il announced as having occurred
last Sunday. He was one Of the most
distinguished, aud at the same time most
highly beloved, ministers Of the Baptist
Church in the South. He was sixty
eight years Of age, and had been 10 the
ministry forty-tLree years, about twenty.
Eve of which were in Nashville. He
held many Of the most important Offices
In the church, and was the author OF sew
eral important works, some Of which
were republished in England, and has
left, more or less complete, several 9TH
ers. The Republican Banner concludes
an extended notice of his life and char
acter as follows:
He was a man of decided ability, ex.
tensiye erudtion, and unblemished
piety. His sermons were weighty ana
impressive, ard his writings are ac'
knowledged as standard authorities.
His influence in the large and powerful
connection Of Christians to which he was
attached, was justly great, and was mani.
fest in the pulpit and at the council
board. His style Of oratory was pecu-
liar, and to those who heard him for the
first time, not always pleasing, but his
thought was lucid and the matter solid,
and bis efforts we're often truly eloquent.
The high order of talents evinced
in his ministrations, and the marked
nprightness of his character, won
him the admiration and love of his pas
toral charges to an unusual degree. In
his death, the Southern Baptist Church |
,ustains the loss of one of its shining |
lights, and this community one OF its
brightest ornaments. In every walk OF
life, he was the good man, suave and
lignified in his Intercourse with his tel.
ow men; secluded from all secular
works; foremost in charitable enterprises;
olerant and liberal in his views; firm
q doctrine. and jealous in the cause of
ruth. He filled the full limit Of well.
pent career in the highest of human
allings, and has gone to his rest, univsr-
ally lamented.

The meeting was an exceeding pleasing
one, and after the transaction OF some
business, the names of an additional
number of members were enrolled. The
initiative of this new association is most
auspicious, and as the organization is
calculated to result in great good, it has
our most earnest wishes for its prosperity.
The above, from the Louisville COu-
rfer, is welcome news from a good quar-
ter When there is great distress, great
efforts and agencies are required to re-
lieve it. The example should be fol-
lowed up, that all possible results of ex-
tended and cooperative action may be
gained. May not similar or branch or

work of benevolence, and we trust also

him 70 come 10 the White House. He
went and the President handed him pa
pers, the same being a letter TO Stanton,
and his own letter OF authority, which he
had never seen before. Had no hand In
preparing them. The President said
TO him- 81 intend TO support the
Con stitution and the laws, and expect
You to do the same" Witness then
went to the War Office with Gen. viii
liams and demanded possession. Mr..
Stanton asked II time would be granted
for him to remove his papers. Gen.
Grant was present, and witness showed
him the appointment as Secretary ad IN
ferim. Witness then retired to his room,
and the same day received a letter from
Mr.. Stanton, forbidding him TO issue any
orders as Secretary OF War Gd interim,
which the witness proceeded to read
Mr.. Stanbery: What was said In a
conversation between you and the Presi-
dent, subsequently,, aud on the same
day~
Mr.. Butler objected TO the question,
and the Chief Justice then submitted TO
the Senate the question Of admitting
General Thomas testimony regarding
the conversation, and the ayes and nays
resulted AZ to 10. SO the evidence was
admitted.
Witness stated to the President that he
had delivered the communication TO Mr.:
Stanton, and told him what answer had
been made. The President then said to
him, "Very we'll; 20 on, take posses.
sion and obey the order" This was all
that occurred. Did not see the Presi-
dent again that evening. The next
morning witness was arrested and went
with the Marshal to the White House,
and told the President that he was in
custody, and on what charge. The Pres
ident replied, Very well, that's just
where / want tin court" Witness
was then left at his hotel, on giving bail.
He asked Justice Carter if he was in the
meantime suspended from his functions,
and the Judge replied in the negative,
and explained the effect of giving bail.
Witness then narrated the circum-
stances and correspondence after he |
went to the War office, and said that the |
same morning, after the members Of Con-
gross who witnessed his interview with |
Stanton had retired, he said to Stanton,
"The next time you have me arrested,
do it after breakfast, for l have had
nothing this morning to eat or drink"
Stanton, in playful way, said: Well,
think, General, we have a little
bere," whereupon General
Schurz produced bottle, and Stanton
divided its contents-about spoonful
into two parts, and we took a drink |
together. Subsequently some full bottles
we're brought, and this was all the force |
used that day. [Great laughter
