De,Tu OF A Paom1aENr MERcaANT.

Il is with unfeigned sorrow that We record the
death of Mr. Ha. G. BEwLEY, at his residence in
this village on Saturday last, after an illness of
two mouths. Mr.. BEwLEY was a native of Greene
County, Tennessee, and was engaged for many
years in the mercantile business at Hamburg, S. c.,
where he formed numerous acquaintances in this
and adjoining States. About ten years ago, he
moved to this place, and has been steadily engaged
in business since that time, with the exception Of
brief term of service in Tie Confederate army.
AS a merchant. he was careful prudent and saga
cious, and embodied the highest qualifications of
business man. As citizen, his conduct was up
right and exemplary, and the large concourse at
tending the funeral services strongly attestcd the
respect of his fellow citizens. We will moi invade
the domestic sanctuary, where he was best under
stood and appreciated, and where his nobest quail
tiles were always manifested. He leaves widow
and six children to mourn the loss of kind hus-
band and indHlgent parent.
Mr.. BEwLEy was buried by the Masonic frater-
nifty on Monday morning, after impressive services
in the Baptist Church by Revs W. D. BEVERLY
and S. W. WEBER.

such charge, without one title Of evidence, Is
only fit to come from a man who lives in q bottle
and is fed with spoon.
These passages were presented to the Court as
illustrating the taste OF the two leading managers
of the impeachment trial. whom the House has
sent to the Senate to complain of the President for
making improper speeches
On the following day. after the rising OF the
Court, one of the same managers MIR. Butler nj
forded a new illustration of the same standard OF
Congressional acting. in debate with n ''fcloW
by the name of Brooks" rs he styled him. Ihe
discussion grew out of Mr.. Brooks resolutions
ccnsuring the managers for signing the letter 10
the President about the Alta Vela affair. we nave
nothing to do with it but just to refer to 1t as no
bad specimen of what may be any day seen and
heard in that rare school of manners, the Repre-
sentative Chamber at Washington. 1t derives,
however, special interest at the present moment
from the fact that it was Mr.. Manager Butler
whose manners and taste in oratory were there on
exhibition.
But Saturday furnished the country with still
more striking and characteristic scene in the same
department of public affairs. The Washington
correspondent of the Boston Daily Advertiser
speaks of it as 'sthe most atrocious offence against
decency and propricty which has occurred there
for years" Mr.. Donneliy, of Minnesota, had
been attacked by Mr.. Washburne, of Illinois, in n
Western newspaper, and a'ler causing the article
to be read 10 the House by the Clerk, he proceeded
to pour out upon Mr. Washburue, for nearly All
hour, n torrent of abuse so low aud scurrous as
10 he offensive even to the ears of honorable mcm-
bers most accustomed 10 Congressional ribaldry,
and who usually relish it so highly. The whole
affair was purely personal in its nature and had
nothing whatever to do with any public interests.
The speeches both of Mr. Donnclly and Mr.. Wash
burne, we suppose, have been printed AT the pub
lie expense in that grand conservatory of all that
is noxious and offensive in American rhetoric, the
Congressional Globe. They will serve no other
useful purpose than 10 show to how lev poin!
the business of speech making in Congress had
descended at the beginning OF May, 1868. When
The House of Representatives has succeeded in re-
moving the President from his Office, and ncapac-
itatng him forever from holding any office under
the Cnited States, among other things for "impro,
pricties of speech" may be pardoned for sug-
geslng thai the people pW do ~tN 10 g,ce some @tfe"

addressed the freedmen present, and gave them his
candid views rs TO The dreadful consequences

in their present political organization, and advised

We are authorized by the President of the An
derson Democratic Club to extend an invitation
to all conservative citizens to attend pub ic meet
ing astiis place Saturday, 2Srd instant, for the
purpose of nominating candidate for School
Commissioner. 1t is particularly desirable thai
every neiglborhooG in the District should be rep
resented and if possible, that delegates from pri-
mary meetings be authorized TO act for therrcspcc
tive sections. The various Democratic Clubs al
ready organized are earnestly requested to send
delegates; and where no organization exists, that
leading men devote little time towards ascertain
ing the sentiments of their communities, either
by holding meetings or otherwise.

BLACKBOARD SPEECHES IN CONGRESS.

The readers of the proceedings at Washington
last week were treated 10 some exhibitions OF that
peculiar style Of debate which certain members OF
Congress, we are sorry TO say, are exceedingly
fond of ndulging in. Among the charges which
The House Of Representatives have brought agalnst
the President, which the managers have urged
with great vehemence, is that OF making unbc-
coming speeches, especially against the Thirty
ninlll Congress. 1t would appear, however, that
the Presidents standard Of taste in oraiory. low
rs il is, is not one whit lower Than that OF many
members of Congress who have had ten times his
advantages, in point of both intellectual and So
cial culture Mr. Evarls, in his argument Oh
Thursday, adveried to this fact: anu, without dc-
nyinp the Presidents offence Ibis point, he
proceeded to match even his most unbecomlng Der
formances will, corresponding specimens taken
from speeches deliyereu both in the Senate and
the House of Representatives, with the entire ap-
proval. so far appeared. OF the members oil
those bodies. The specimens thus reproduced IN
the presence of the very persons hy whom the
spuechcs were made certainly assisted Mr.. Evaiis
IN extenlatins the oralor,al 'mis'cmennors OF
the President. 1t also very naturally raised the
question in some minds how long the making OF
ill-nanncred speeches has in this country been an
offence Tor which a man is 10 bc removed IRON
Office. The House of Representatives lmpeaches
The President for this offence; but who Is 10 I'M
peach The House OF Representatives?
Mr. Evnrls chose one specimen of recent Con-
grcssionnl eoqrrnre that must have been highly
refreshing TO all concerned, and llia, seems to have
kept both The Senate and The galleries in roars OF
laughter. It WAS that famous passage between
Mr. Bulcr and Mr.. bingham which took place IN
the House of Representatives about year ago.
on some question connected with the diary oil The
assassin Booth which Butler said had been mutt
