NEST and truest friends at this day, in
the Republican party, are men of North
ern or Western birth, To me, all honest
Republicans are the same, no matter
from what State they may come. I do
not denounce Mr.. Sawyer, because
Massachusetts, gave him birth, but be-
cause the political course he is here
pursuing, if pursued at Boston, would
meet with the same just retrbution that
South Carolina will yet award to him.
My main charge against Mr.. Sawyer
is that he is seeking to establish Con-
servative party in South Carolina, on
the ruins of the Republican, by sale
to the Democrats if they will purchase
him.
The only comprehensive reply to this
charge that he makes is contained in the
following paragraph of his communica-
ton, of which, as an explicit recognition
of the truth Of my allegation, / give him
the benift of republication, with his
own italicis
1T is quite time for some Republicans
to take notice that the people of South
Carolina will give their voices for re-

be Republicans, rather Man for dtshouest

the party issues may he nerer so sure The
day when partisan soundncss would offset
and outweigh the want of all other re.

his friends make the most of it,"
This is Senator Sawyer's first apr,
bid tenderelto the Democratic party. 1t
will not, presume, be accepted, because
it is accompanied with some sort of weak
qualification, which, although it means
nothing, the DenocTsts will require tc
be stricken from the bond.

THE DANDY AND HIS TuRKEY.- =
Chief Justice Marshall was in tbs habit /
of going to market himself, and carrying
home his purchases. Frequently he !,
would be seen at sunrise, with poultry
in one hand and vegetables in the other.
On one OF these occasions, a fashionable
young man from the North who haa =
removed to Richmond, was swearing,
violently because he could find no one to-
carry home his turkey. Marshall stop
ped and asked him where he lived, and
said, on being told, "That is on my way,
and I will take it for'you." Wfea he
came to the house, the young man In
quired, Whatishall I'pay yon?" "Oh!
nothing" said the CHIEF Justice; "you
are welcome: it was on my way, and no
trouble"
"Who was that polite old man that
brought home my turkey for tssf7 iitil

Peabody.

The name of Peabody, will live ia
American history, with an envinble
lustrc. \ fortune made by hencst thrift
and stainless industry, is spent in sewing
bcnctactioas, and, the nublest of human
charities. a long life of honorable labor
is closed with shining bcncvolencc. The
fruits of a successful and spotlcss career,
are spread broad cast to the relief of the
suffering, and the education of the
ignorant.
Nearly $4,000, 900, garnercd by the
steady ac;rctions of worthy toll, have
thus been scattered in gladdening benc-
dictions. What monument to gene
rosity.
He that sivcth to the poor, lcndcth
to the Lord"
What debt God owes this good old
man, according to the words of the Good
Book
Is not the Bible meaning, that in this
method man can transfer his worldly
treasures to the better world-that thus
can humanity take with it the glittcring
dust OF earth to the realm of the Omuipo-
tence!
If SO then MIR. Peabody has certainly
exceeding riches iu that country where
he must soon go.
At large dinner, given at the Gedi
cation of the Peabody Institute in Dan
rcrs, Mass, the following beautiful verses
were read by that quaiutcst, the most
genuine of American poets, Oliver
Wendell Holmes.

Where angel wings around him fiuttcred

Immediately placed the matter in the
hands OF Deputy Sheriff Payne. Super

PASSENGERS EFFORTS

For the saving of the negroes were
numerous and successful. Several ne
grces were locked up in statc-rooms in
the ladies' cabin. One instance is mem
toned particularly. Rev. d. c. Mccoy,
of Macomb, ILL.,, was in his state-room
with his wife, A negro nearly covered
with blood from cut in his throat fair
ly bounded through the open outside
door aud cried, "Sove ME, do save me,
Missis." helady, perfectly ignorant of
the work going on outside, Immediately
closed the doors. In an instant, almost,
she heard the tramp of the men outside,
and the cry, "Where is the hellion ?"
Then there was rush for the bow, and
her protege was safe. He remained in
the room more than an hour Mr. Nc
Coy spongcd his wounds aud bound
them, and made the poor fellow as com
Portable as possible, Several of the
hunted hands were secretcd in the Tex,s
rooms by the officers.
THE OFFICERS WERE powERLEss.
Not one of them was in possession of
shooting iron of any kind, and to have
interfered with the negro killing scoun-
drcls, unarmed, would have been foolish
indeed. All they could do in opposition
to scores of raftsmen was to sccretc the
negroes, when possible
THREATS TO BURN THE STEAMER.
The boat swung out from Hampton,
and had proceeded but few rods when
she went into shore again. The idea was
to await the arrival of force from Rock
Island. Captain r. secretly tclegraphed
the sheriff of that county for help, but
the nurderers saw through the strata
gem, and threatened to join together and
tire the steamer if she was not quickly
moved up stream. So the steamer was
soon swung out again and continued on
her way. AT Damascus Ted Butler
went ashore, ms did also pock
sieil, Butter was capturcd; -;sztss 5sztsts
lse lsas lack was made oil i porter,
who, after the boat left Hampton, and
when all WAS comparatively quiet, went
to empty some water on the guards. He
stepped out cautiously, but was discov-
cred and severely beaten by three of the
rattsmen.

Died. in Woodstock, Va, March 10Th, GEORGE
TABB, Esq, in the 10th year of his age
The unanimous testimony OF the community
where he so long resided would be that he was "a
good man full of faith''-faithful in all his duties
in the family and in the church; an afechonate
father, conscientious elder, an humble and devout
Christian. For many years ne held the Office Of
ruling elder in the church of Falling Water, and in
his latter life in the church of Marnsburg, and in
both an efficient helper and wise counsellor to
the pastor and session dis sympathies and prayers
in the church and among the people of Martnsburg,
while destitute of pastor and place of worship,
will be long remembered. With the increasing In
irmtieS OF age and disease, his piety and spiritual
ity seemed proportonably deeper and more beauh
full and his interest in the welfare Of the church con-
tinued to the last In the near prospect Of death
his chidGke faith and hope were eminently exhibit
ted With firm reliance in the righteousness and
merits of the Redeemer for acceptance, and stead
fast hope in the covenant taithfulness of God, he
went down into the dark valley without fear, and
found the presence of God to cheer him, and his
rod and staff sustain him, and peacefully fell asleep
in Jesus. Devout men carried him TO his burial,
and numerous friends testified to his worth and
made great lamentation at his loss to the church

The evangelization of China is evidently prepar-
ing by Divine Providence in California. Twenty
six Cinnamon attend the Bible class of Metho
dist church at Santa Clara. The missionary OPP.
pOrunity here is boundless and the Pacific church
es should press into it with all their might
The Prussian journals state that it is in contem'
plation to have Protestant demonstration at Ber-
lin in the coming fall, as a counterpoise to the
Romish Council called by the Pope to meet at
Rome in November. A meeting is to be held soon
at Worms, Ia very appropriate place, for the pur-
pose Of making arrangements for the convocatlon.
Voluntary Contributions one of the Foreign
Missionary meetings of the Established Church,
recently held, the Rev. DR.. Mcleod stated that
the Free Church had already raised annually fce
times the amount of money for Foreign Missions
that the Established Church could raise; fact
which would seem to demonstrate to the Free
Church that Christ blessed his Church abundanty
when not endowed by State patronage.
The Sunday Question in Great Britain-In reply
to two Populations which lately waited upon him
one opposed to and the other in favor OF opening
museums on Sunday-Mr. Gladstone said that the
question was one for the people to decide for them
selves, and not for the Government. He impressed
upon the deputatonS that the religious observance
of the Sabbath was the ministry of religion, and
also that the social condition of the working
classes required a diminution of Sunday labor. In
reply to a deputatiOn which lately waited upon
him to urge the closing Of pubGc-houses on Sun
day, the Home Secretary stated that he would not
countenauce any measure which proposed to close
public houses entirely. Neither would he commit
the Government to any special regulations regard

forms of agitation about the magistrates right;
and obligations to the Church, and those Of the

This Company has met with a success beyond all
parallel in Life Insurance, and offers to the South
ern public Home Enterprise equal to any and sur
passed by none in existence.
Commenced active operations about Nov. l, 1867.
Assets lst January 1896, 900, now much increased.
Policies issued in l6 months 2,053, covering risks
of $7,OOO,O0O.
1t has paid for losses of $22 1OO and in every in
stance waived the ninety days time and paid at once
1t advises the payment of all cash premiums, be-
cause their dividends will continually decrease each
next payment until nothing will be required and the
policy may be source of income; but it will allow
one half loan on life and joint life policies. One
third loan on other participating policies.
1t requires no notes for loans Of the part of pre-.
miums but endorses the loan of its policies until
absorbed by-dividends is payable.
1t has no restriction on residence or travel All
its policies are non. foreitable and the right of par
ties guaranteed the face Of the policy, as part OF
the contract
1t has the following valuable feature which no
other company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty of being separated from the Home Office by
having their part payment forfeited. "The Pied
mont" guards against this in her policies, and in
event of separation from its Office by any interven-
tion guarantees to such all the right of nonfortei
ture, paid up policy, surrender value and reinstate'
ment, as though there had been no such intervening
cause.
Its investments are made for benefit of Southern
advancement.
1t brings money to our people-keeps money with
our people. Then why should they continue to
empoverish themselves by sending money off which
can as easily, as safely as proftably be spent at
home?
The Piedmont asks all who wish to insure to COM
pare its rates, terms, progress with any company,
and feels confident its merits will equal any other
company.
1t has not been in progress long enough to declare
dividend, but its policies are now being valued.
Its dividend will begin 1st May next, and it feels
confident it will equal any company in like period,
