DAWsON.-Diej. at Orangeburg, s. c., on the
29th September, 1868, GEORGE ALFRED DAWSON,
eldest son of THOMAS Q. and FLORIDA A. DAWSON
aged years month and IA days.
But few days since this charming child, with his
sunny smile and winsome ways, lent lite and Joy to
his parents hearts, and shed light and gladness on
all around him. Glad in the sweet young life with
in him, he laughed and played, and twined him.
self around the affections Of every being near him
Now little graye-one more little mound OF fresh
sod in the old churchyard, strewn with flowers by
loving hands, and bedewed with te1rs from sor.
rowing eyes, tell us that again hath the Great God
recalled his own, and again hath earth responsive
rendered back to Heaven her precious borrowed
jewel
What was "of earth earthly" has been put away
from sight forever but the spirit of the child
linSels still around the deep loving hearts Of pa
rents and f'iends like tho memory of sweet dream
of night.
But babe in years, his mind was beyond his
years. In strong earnest affection, In deep ilia dc-
voton, he was unlike most children. Grave and
thoughtful at times, yet with all the e1uberant
spirit OF childhood, he seemed already to have
learned that ife's duties commence even with life
itself. Bis love for his parents truly remark
able. F"r his mother nothing was ever left undone
his little hands could do no wish his loving heart
did not anticipate. Obsdieut, tractable in all things,
pmiable afectio ate to all. His books, his pets,
his toys, his garden. all attest his and attention
to other things around him. Undisturbed they oil
stand in the method in which he lift them. Studi-
with certain talents unnistakably budding forth,
he bid fair at some future day to become man Of
note in the world.
With that strange foreshadowing which some
times we are Told. the grown man on his death bed
feels, he seemed to know his end was nsar, and
spoke earnestly, In bis first Sickness of leaving
his parents for time. Weak in his suffering and i'll
ness he supported himself with his arms around
his thers neck and, kneeling in his little bed re-
peated all those prayers o mothers lips had taught
him. Praying for ALL and 30, singing that child's
hymn of greeting to the better aud brighter land he
saw before him. he closed his eyes and the messen-
ger came. Dark aud mysterious is the economy Of
Heaven and we wonder and ask why 'human buds
like this should fall"
The death Of all children brings sadness; but we
mourn for him as for no ordinary child. We re-
member his loving eyes, his winning smile, his
sweet ways, his promising mind, his hlal devotion
and obedience. We remember with wonder his
deathbed patience and his resignation. We bow In
reverence before his siDguar piety and we weep for
the Christian child gone before. 1he timely care Of
death removed him ere sin could blight or sorrow
fade. And we can say,
"Ohi It was not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day;
1t was angel who visited the green earth,
And took our iower away"

knew the men, but mono had been recognized,
and in fact so sudden was their appearance and
disappearance that they were actually seen by
only a few individuals The train leaving
shortly after the murder was committed, we
did not ascertain the disposition made of tie
body, b1t presume that an inquest was held
without delay.
This is another act of violence greatly to be
deplored, particularly on account of the politl-
cal capital manufactured at the North from
every such occurrence, to the prejudice and
oppression of the Southern people generally.
The deceased undoubtedly exercised bad ln-
fuence upon the negroes, and stimulated thelr
passions and prejudices against their former
masters. And we candidy believe that his
speeches and advice have done more to alien
alto the two races than any other influence
within our borders. But, at the same time, the
desperate remedy resorted to is neither correc-
tive nor wholesome, and serves to engender
bitter feeling throughout the nation.
The Abbeville Press, in noticing the murder
of Randolph, says:
He was approached by throe men, who in-
stantly discharged their pistols at him.. One
ball penetrated his head, aud two his body.
He fell dead without uttering word: NO one
recognized the perpetrators of this horrld
deed. They mounted their horses and rode
out of sight Immediately. There is much rea-'
son to believe that band Of strangers is ira.
Yelling through this district, intent on just
such acts as this. The parties who killed Cor
nell, as we'll as those who killed Martin, are
unknown. We repeat that it is to us a source
OF deep regret that our district that has
always borne such O high character for Or
der and quiet, should be reproached by such
occurrences.

Decision OF tho New York Suprem'
- 4h> Sx.l.iscf of Ussf 0aths

Decision OF the New York Supreme
Court on the Subject Of Test Oaths.
New YoRx, October 23.-The following is a
more explicit statement Of the recent decision
of the Supreme Court of this State:
"The question raised in the Lower Court was
whether the right of the elector to sit in the
Convention for the remodelling of the State
Constitution was forfeited because he refused
to take the test oath, as prescribed by the
Legislature. The decision Of the Higher Uourt
was in substance, that the Legislature had no
constitutional right to impose any such obi
cation upon an elector, because if there was
any guilt incurred by giving aid to the rebel
lion the overt acts we're committed before the
statute was passed. and the law of the Legis-
lature was, therefore, in this case, an er post
facto law creating new crime, which is con-
trary to the spirit and the letter Ct The Fede-
raj Constitution; and also that the statute in
question violates the Constitution OF the State
of New York"

"LET US HAVE PE4CE ~
Address of the Democratic State E1ecu-
tive Committee in Regard to the ke-
cent Murders.

To the People Of SoaGh Carolina:
FELLOW CITIZENS As members of your State
Executive Committee body which repro
sents nearly every white citizen of South Caro-
lina-we feel it our duty to invoke your earnest
efforts in the cause OF peace and the prescrva-
ton of order. We beg you to unite with
us in reprobating these recent acts OF
violence, resulting in the death of Martin,
Randolph and Nance, By which few lawless
and reckless men have brought discredit on
the character Of our people, though provoca-
ton in these cases may have been given. No
cause can prosper which calls murder to its
assistance, or which looks to assassination for
success. "The idea of assassination" said
George McDuffie, ''is so absolutely abhorrent
to all the feelings, the Christian feelings OF
modern times, and Of such pernicious ten
dency, that feel it to be my duty thus un-
eouivocally to express my utter adherence OF
any proceeding that may have the remotest
tendency to suggest it. Such course is not
only obnoxious to the adherence of every
honorable man, from its moral atrocity, but
from it's political tendency"
seem to come from his grave, to warn the peo-
ple whom he loved 30 devotedly. We can add
nothing to the weight Of this great Authority.
We can only appeal to you to support the laws,
to preserve the peace, aud to denounce those
crimes which have 80 recently been committed
in some portions Of our State. We speak in
behalf of the conservative and law-abiding por-
ton of the people, who constitute, we feel as
sured, nearly orr entire white population, and
in their name we express emphatically our ab-
horrence of such acts; and we pledge ourselves
to give all the assistance iu our power
to suppress them. We adjare all who
love their State, of oil classes, white
and black, to be peacea5le and quiet,
to lend their efforts to promote harmony and
to ouell dissension. We ask those who are op-
posed to US, politically, o unite with us to
check and discountenance all incendiary an
guago, whether uttered in public or private,
and to Join us in the efforts we are making for
the preservation of peace, the supremacy OF
law, and the maintenance OF order. Lawess-
ness will cndanger the peace of the whole State,
and will surely bring disaster to oil CLASSES.
Let us all thea, however we may differ in poll
tics, devote all our energies to maintain the
good character Of our State, and to promote 4
better feeling among our whole people.

The whole Democratic party will rejoice that
Governor Seymour has consented to break
custom which has no foundation in reason, and
which ought not to weigh q feather when pub
lie affairs require luminous exposition by the
statesman who is most capable of making it
with impressive effect. Governor Seymours
coming actively into the canvass supplies q
lacking force which was needed to turn the
tide of victory in favor of the Democratic hosts.
Nobody who is acquainted with the powerful
impression which frequently attends Governor
Seymours speeches can doubt that his
speeches il Pennsylvania will be worth to the
cause great deal more than the few thousand
votes which separate US from victory in that
State. The interest OF the canvass has become
utters will be @ eagerly read by the whole coun-
try. During the brief remainder Of the can
vass the public mind will be chiefly occupied
by him and his statesmanhke views.
