TIE weather. the past two days, has been
cloudy and shoNery. On Monday, heavy
showers prevailed on the mountains, and
quite heavy one in the morning reached
the sea- giving the town and plains good
dreRehing. The summer, 50 far. has been
cool, the nights and mornings being delight
f1l and pleasant, although the sun, during
the day, Is hot and oppressive. The heat,

a. B. CHI PSI FRATERNITY

We grow sad and mournful when, in
reference to one whose heart was linked
with ours in love and friendship, we are
called on to cay, "the silver cord is loosed,
the golden bowl is broken, the spirit has
fled to the God who gave it," Though it
ID painful to think of death reigning as
monarch over the human race, yet when
the great Creator has decreed that one
who has sustained such relations to us
shall leave this theatre OF action, His voice
comes to Us wish double emphasis and
power.
a few short months since, our Brother
left us with the ardor and bright anticipa-
tions of youth to engage in tho battle of
hfe-his body now lies silent in the grave;
his soul, we hope. has been admitted to
the great fraternity above, where all is
happiness and everlasting peace. But, as
We DOW before the decree Of tho mighty
Master, and sympathise with the friends
of tho deceased IN thc;r great baIeu,u-
ment, it is fitting that We should make
some expression OF our regard and esteem
for him; therefore, be it
ResoiCed, That our Fraternity has sus-
taincC All irreparable loss in our beloved
Brother. WILLIAM DARGAN PLAYER.
ReS0tced, That We deeply deplore his
loss, and, with heartfelt SORROW, tender
our sympathy to the family boreaved by
his uDtimely death.
feSolred, That as token Of our esteem
and respect, We wear mourning upon our
badges during the prescribed period.
ResOtred, That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the family OF the deceased.

IN MEMORIAM.

Died, on the 7th day of December last.
at her residence, Mrs. MARY j. SIMMONS,
relct OF the late DIR. Thomas ii. Simmons,
after lingering illness. er.
Mrs. Simmons was a native of Newport,
II. l., where she received finished educh-
tion. At very early age she married add
removed with her husband to this State,
and was greatly esteemed for her cultivat-
cd mind, gentle manners and true woman
ly heart, by her husbands relatives and
friends.
Her natural gifts were of the highest
order; and, living in n retired part Of the
country, she devoted much Of her time to
the cultivation of her poetic talents and in
the enthusiastic pursuit of literature.
Many OF her fugitive pieces exhibit that
true poetic fire which sparkles i'll the gems
of Mrs. Hemans. 80
She knew life to he no holiday, yet she
was ever cheerful in her task. She gave
her whole heart to duty and pursued it
with an unobtrusive yet steady enthnsi-
asm. Tears yet bitter, the tears Of mortal
frailty and sorrow, flow for her departure;
but these will be succeeded by clearer
vision and brighter hope, and tears
sweet and consoling, memories gentle and
soothing, will follow and ever wait upon
the dear and sacred image of her so loved
as mother, friend and companion.

RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP. .-Secretarv
Seward lost no time in telegraphing
to Mr.. Adams, by cable, the ratifica-
ton of the treaty which has been
framed and ratified under his aus
pices with North Germany. 1t is
rumored that the Secretary of State
is now negotiating similar treaty
with Great Britain, ignoring the OBJ
solete .doctrine of perpetual allie
glance, and recognizing the rights of
naturalized citizens. Should such n
treaty be concluded with the mother
country, it will be final settlement
of question which has caused much
trouble since the Revolution of 1776.

THE REVISION OF THE ENGLISH
BIBLE.-The statement that DR..
Hackett, of Newton Theological
Seminary, is to take charge of the
revision of the English translation
of the Bible, under the auspices of
the American Bible Union, is errone-
GUS and does injustice to one of the
most learned scholars of the age.
That work has been, and will still re-
main, in the hands OF DR.. L. j. Co
nant, of Brooklyn. who has already
published translations of Job and
Matthew, and is now finishing the
translation of Genesis, which will be
published in May. DIR. Conant's
translation of Job is admitted by
European scholars to be one of the
most valuable contributions to Bibli-
cal literature ever made. DIR. Hack
eft has resigned his professorslip at
Newton in order to cooperate with
DIR. Conant, who retains entire con-
troll of the work he has SO ably COM
menced.

there he was required to deposit $50,

Confidence is said to- Jbe a "plant
of slow growth, "a Yet we see, cur
Republican friends are trusting to
the promises made to them by such
men as Corbin and Chamberlain,
who, il we may believe Col. Robert
son, have only been. amongst us for
two years. ~ 4 e
One Of these gentlemen already
holds the important and, profitable
Office of District Attorney, and is de-
sirous OF adding to his honorsi by.
representing the city of Charleston
in tue new Senate of South Carolina.
The other is advocating the ticket
nominated by the Charleston Con
vention, forgetting, in his patriotic
devotion to the State Of his adop.
ton. that his name is on that ticket
for Attorney General: an; office of full
as much honor, and almost rs much
profit, as that held by Distri tat
torney Corbin. 4"
These gentlemen may we'll ask the
colored people to support the new
Constitution, ''to work for it, pray
for.it aud right for H." for it will give
them aud their friends fat offices and
fill their pockets with greenbacks.
With what nmazement would the
people of Vermont, (the home of
Mr.. Corbin, or the people of Mas
sachusetts, (the home of Mr.. Cham
berlain, look upon some of our Co.
lumbia, lawyers if they were toeseek
for the highest and most profitable
Offices in the States of Vermont and
Massachusetts? With what amaze
ment would the people of Ohio look
upon some citizen of South Carroll
no, say Beverly Nash orr G. NJ. Will
der, if one of them were to migrate
to Ohio and ask the good people of
that State to make him Governor
as Gen. Scott now asks of the people
OF South Carolina? And yet these
foreign gentlemen come here and
demand the most profitable offices,
under the plea that they are the only
friends of the colored man.
You ask them for bread, and they
tender you the ballot. You ask them
for employment, and they give you
the right to vote them into profitable
hpfices. You are told by these foreign
Gentlemen to distrust the entire body
1of the white people of South Caro-
lima.
If their advice was disinterested,
why do they ask you to give them
the fat offices of the State? If they
come amongst AS as missionaries and
apostles of liberty, why do they not
content themselves with missionary's
fare? These are the men who under
value your sense and intelligence, in
supposing you capable of being
duped by their arts and their pro-
mises-who would endanger your
peace and prosperity by stirring up
strife between you and your former
masters. "Beware of these raven
ing wolves in sleeps clothing"

days since, prominent gentleman,
residing in one of the lower Counties,
went on board an oyster boat lying
at one Of the landings on York River,
and bought few of the "bivalves"
in the shell. which he proceeded to
open for himself Attached to and
imbeddod in the shell of one of them
he encountered metallic substance.
This oyster he carried home, and
there proceeded to break it to pieces
with n hammer. Picture his aston
ishment when he found fthnt it con-
tained French gold coin, known as
n Louis dor, of the value of about
fourteen dollars, bearing date 1873.
1t is probable that it was lost over
board from the French fleet during
the siege of Yorktown.
