DEATH oF Rev. r J BoYD.-This
eminent minister ofthe Methodist Epis-
copal Church South died at Marion G..
81. on the Sd inst, and was buried on
Sunday. DR.. Boyd had always enjoyed
uniform health, until about two years
ago lie had stroke of paralysis, from
which, however, he seemed in great
measure to have recovered, until about
month ago, there appeared decided
evidences Of rapidly failing health,
which terminated his life suddenly on
Friday last.
DR.. Boyd, if We mistake not, was
about sixty three years ofage. He COM
mcuced life as physician, but in early
manhood changed his profession for
that of the ministry, to which he gave
himself unreservcdly. During the thir-
ty years of his ministerial labors, he
served churches in almost every part of
the State, and in many Of the southern
counties of North Carolina, and left a
sweet odor of his good name around the
hearths of tens of thousands of Chris
tian households
DR.. Boyd for many years welded a
large influence in the councils of his
church, and repeatedly filled the Office
of presiding elder and delegate to the
General Conference. He was noted for
the general soundness Of his judgment,
which, coupled with the most amiable
temper and a. large hearted generosity,
caused him to be often called upon as an
arbiter. He united in an eminent de-
gree the dignity and purity Of the min
lister with the character and integrity
a Carolina gentleman. We could say
much more of him, but ADLER pens and
loving hearts will in dne time pen a
suitable tribute the memory Of this
good and holy man.
DR.. Boyd leaves a sorrowing family
to lament their irreparable loss.

At meeting of the citizens of Ker-
shaw county, held on Monday, the 9th
inst, to take into consideration the con-
Meeting of Camden with Lancaster by

marks, defined the position Of Camden
in relation to the route to Charlotte via
Lancaster. lie stated that there was
no doubt that the road would be built,

AN EXPLANATION.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of the
26th of August, under the head Of
"Honicide," alluding to the death of
Paul Williams, the following paragraph
occurs:
"The deceased had no medical atten-
ton whatever. showing degree of in
humanity in his parents, which should
be severely rebuked."
Now, sir, in the first place, the boy
Paul, had no parents here, but was liv-
ing with myself and my wife, who
was his aunt Neither of US knew q
word of his having had any difficulty
with any one, until after his death. On
Saturday, he complained of some pain
in the stomach, which we supposed to
be caused from eating green fruit-we
gave him medicine at the time. He
was not confined to his bed either Sat.
urday or Sunday, but was up and down;
neither my wife or myself had the leas,
idea that anything serious was the mat
ter, or a physician would have been
called, and had either of us known, that
he had been engaged 10 fight, we
would have had a physician to examine
him.
But those who are acquainted with
US, will scarcely think that we would
have been guilty of permitting the boy
Paul to die from neglect. DR.. Moore

The Charleston Ne,cs says Attorney
General Hoar's opinion in regard to the
Dewly elected Legislature of Virginia
may be summed up in few words. Thel
Legislature may come together, organ
ize and act upon the Fifteenth Consti-
tutional Amendment; but, until Con-
gress has approved the State Constitu-
tion, the Legislature cannot transact
any other business, unless the members
have taken the test oath. This is the
opinion, in q nut shell. Two-thirds of
the members cannot take the test oath,

ppon the Fifteenth Amendment and
await the good pleasure of Congress;

MRS. McCANDLESS.

The many friends of this amiable Ia
dy, and accomplished teacher, will, we
are sure, unite with us in an expression
of qualification at the success which
she has attained in her new home in
Atlanta, Ga. From the following,
which we clip from an Atlanta paper,
it will be seen that her qualifications
are highly appreciated, and we trust
her highest expectations may be mora
than realized:
DR.. Bard: A few days ago your
correspondent heard the regret express,
cd that there was no high school for
young ladies in Atlanta, and doubtless
many like the speaker on that occasion,
are under the impression that to give
their daughters finished cducation they
must send them elsewhere. Allow me
to say this is wholly untrue, and wholly
unjust to the many accomplished men
and women who are DOW Offering their
services as instructors to the young peo-
pie of Atlanta.
1 might name many teachers who
have won reputation elsewhere, who are
now here teaching in humble rooms and
Easements for the want of more showy
accommodations, but who are amply
capable giving to young lady all that
she ever needs for use or ornament in
society. l might name many Of these,
but l folbear. Yet, as the stranger de-
serves hospitality, I will mention the
school of Mrs McCandlcss. Your cor
respondents is under no obligation to this
person, but truth and justice compel
him to say that, after observing her sys
tenn of instruction, her fidelity, her
thoroughncss, and as the result of these,
her finished graduates, she has no su-
perior on the American Continent.
In everything constituting the educa-
ton of "a lady, she is prepared to COM
pare her graduates (without her knowl-
ege or consenD with those Of any school,
Protestant or Romish. What higher
compliment can be paid to her than that
given in the words of the Rt. Rev.
Bishop Green, of Mississippi, when he
says: 81 consider it one of the greatest
blessings Of my life to have had the
opportunity of placing my daughter un-
der tho instruction of this faithful,
thorough and accomplished woman"
Will you not say to the people of At
lanta that they are doing injustice to
themselves by sending their daughters
abroad to receive an education which
they can better obtain at their own doors,
surrounded by the sacred Influences, of
home and at less expense.
While Atlanta is not distingui<hc
for any humbug called "Female Col
lege," she does contain some of the best
schools onthe continent. JUSTICE.
