DEATH OF Hon. w. +. DESAUssURE.
Friends in every portion of the State
will be panied to learn of this gentle
mans death. After an illness of some
duration, Mr.. DeSaussure expired in this
city, on Sunday, the 18th inst, in the
seventy ninth year of his age.
Mr.. DeSaussure was one of the oldest
and most esteemed and respected citizens
of Columbia. He was more. He was
one of the most eminent of the citizens
of South Carolina-distinguished alike
by his learning, his abilities, his charac-
ter and his public services.
Mr.. DeSaussure was an eminent law
yer, served South Carolina both in the
Legislature of his State and in the United
States Congress-; held various Offices of
trust, and in every position occupied by
him performed his part with grace and
fidelity. He was at once the inheritor
and the illustrator of name honored in
South Carolina, and O name associated
with what is sound in judgment, refined
in taste, pure in morals and patriotic in
conduct These were the qualities that
the deceased Carolinian so we'll illus.
trated.
In summing up Mr.. DeSausure's charac-
ter, it may be said that in his composition
admirable and elevated qualities of head
and heart we're harmoniously blended
His life was active, useful and pure, and
he bore, without abuse, the grand old
name of gentleman" Amid the regrets
and the respect of friends and fellow-citi-
zens, he was yesterday laid in his grave in
the Presbyterian church-yard, of this city,
AS his life was quiet, temperate and
steady, 80 his end was peaceful, and the
lamp of life went out as if swept by o
gentle breath.
