Suddenly md unexpectedly, VIC arc
called TO mourn the loss Of n much
valued and beloved citizen. Col. 10.
scph Abney died, at his residence, in
the town of Edgcficld, on Wednesday
night, the I'd inst, after an illness of
only ten hours, a victim Of the pre-
vailing epidemic, Meningitis as pro-
nOunccd by his brother, DR.. NJ. w.
Abney, the attending physician. lie
died in the prime of manhood, at the
age of forty-eight, leaving wife and
three children.
Bravely, honestly and efficiently, he
fought the battle Of life, as he fought
for the honor, interest, and glory Of
his country. Selfcducatcd, he be-
came an!accomplished scholar, lawyer
and soldier. His civic triumphs in
popular assemblies in the Legislature
and in the forum, as we'll as laurels
won IN war, make up the sum Of u
reputation, of which his family, his
friends and his native Carolina are
justly proud. But although lie re-
ceived the plaudits of his country, for
services rendered in peace and in war; ;
while every battle ground from Vera
Cruz to the Garita de Bclin of Mexico
and his blood shed on the field Of
and later in lilc, at Dru-
rvs Bluff. in our last war attest hio
devotion and skill rs n warrior, he
has left behind Il monument to his
fame, not less to be appreciated, in
the memory and gratitude of care
worn Poverty, which with n ready
hand, prompted by Christian Charity,
he never failed to alleviate; and the
poor will bless him, in their sorrow
for his departure. But he is gone |!
a nd it is II consolation to believe, that
be has entered into his eternal rest, as
u Christian and an heir of salvation.

Election of Judge.

Saml. w. Melton, Esq, was yes,
terday elected, on tho first ballot. to
the Office of Judge of the Fifth Cir
cult, made vacant by the death of
Judge Boozer. Out of ono hundred
and twenty-five votes cast, he received
sixty-eight. Tho other candidates
put in nomination werc, Thompson
II. Cook, Orangeburg, VIM. Earlo
Grcenville; J. Scott Murray, Andcr,
son: L. +. Youmans, Edgefcld, and
Coy Wingo, Spartanburg. Tho con-
test was mainly between Mr.. Melton,
and AIr. Murray.
AS VIC gathered from remarks of W.
J. Whipper who nominated, and of
X. c. DeLargo who seconded the nom
ination of Mr. Melton, it was not
claimed for him that ho was either
Democrat or Republican, and was
accordingly not supported or opposed
as a partisan. The support of tho
members of tho General Assembly
was asked for him as lawyer of en-
incncc, and man Of fine parts, who
while fully accepting tho situation
and endorsing the Acts Of rcconstruc.
ton, yet felt no shame and had no
apologies to mako for his course as
an officer in Confederate service.
In tho capacity, the legal attain
mcnts, the thorough training. the
nice disccrnmcnt, and the fine powers
as speaker, not less than in the well
settled, well balanced and just charac-
ter Of Mr.. Melton, we havo sure guar
antecs of his fitness for the position
to which he has been elected. We
congratulate our community and the
circuit over which he is to preside
upon result which has secured to
them man who will hold the scales
Of Justice with firm and even hand,
dispensing right and equity to all
parties seeking it without fear, favor
or affection. Our best wishes accom-
pany him for successful and honor
able carccr.-Guardion.
