LETTER FROM SPRINGHILL.

SrRrNaHILL, S. c., Nov. 22d, 1870.
hr Editor 1T is not often, wo be .
lieve, that you are appriscd of events as
they occur in. this unusually quiet local
ity. But although VIC have nothing
startling to communicate in these days
of "midnight bnrnings," and other laws.
less acts, We have thought that we would
"jot down" such events as so to make
up our existence, II for no other sub
stantial reason than to see what shape
they may take upon paper.
The Quarterly Meeting has just closed
at the Methodist Church, in this vioin-
ity The Church was unusually we'll
attended during the entire exercises. 1t
has been recently built, and is a neat
and substantial wooden edificc, capable
of accommodating "goodly" number, as
the large, respectable, and we'll dress.
ed congregation of last Sabbath showed.
The opening exercises on Friday were
conducted by tho Rev. j. w. MURRAY,
who also preached his farewell sermon
on Sunday evening. For the last four
years, Mr.. MURRAY has worked Jealous.
ly in this circuit, in behalf of religion !;
and not only within his own persuasion,
but by other denominations, he has won
for himself tho need Of an earnest and
energetic disciple. 1t is, therefore,
with unusual regret, that this commu.
nifty learn, that they will shortly be
deprived of bis valuable labors, and that
they will loso clergyman of so much
cloqucncc, fcrvor, and practical golli-
ness. Thoy bid him "God spcod," where.
ever may bs his "bournc," and he oarrics
with him tho grateful remombrances
and earnest prayers Of many hearts.
Tho Prosi'ling Elder, the Row SIp1
II BRowN, delivered able discoursos on
Saturday and Sunday morning. As
usual he was listened to with much
interest and attehtion-his thoroughly
practical and common-sonso viows, en-.
forccd by a naturally frank and nnaffco-
ted manner. Thanks arc duo to Mr..
SAMUEL YouNd, and othors, during
these religious services, for thoir
thoughtful preparations and courtesy.

partufe Of Mr.. MURRAY, the Episcopal.

THE LEGIsLATURE,

After two days session, adjourned
over until Monday last. The papers tell
US that its opening was attended largely
by citizens of all classes.
1t is to be hoped that its action will
look to the good of all classes of The
citizens Of the State, aud that we shall
hear much less Of tho shameless busin css
OF bribery and corruption that occupied
the late sessions.
Up to this writing but little has been
done to indicate the general tone and
temper orthe body. WHIppER seems
to be determined that tho whole Blue
Ridge Rail Road business shall be
overhauled. If ho would 60 into on
investigation of the Land Commission,
he would touch a key that would make
m usic for the whole State.
Chief Justice NOSES and Judge OnR
are mentioned in connexion with the
United States Senaiorship, and DIR.
NEAGLE is said 10 have withdrawn his
bid for that place.
Judge GREEN has been entered by
his friends for the vacancy on tho Su
preme Bench. HooE, and WRIGHT
(colored) are also candidates. These
elections were to have taken place yes
terday.
SCOTT and RANs1ER were inaugurated
on Monday.
We propose to keep tho public ad-
vised Of the actions ofttc body, and to
discuss the same, as tho well.being of
the country may seem to us to demand.

Tho growth and development Of the

3 .1 ts Sas hsss recently asserted. that the
/ gentle enss smposipg the recent politi
'tscal conference; held al Columbia; re.
presented osiy sbemsslves: This is not
the truth. i ia lar from being the
truth. i, ,aimoat every county Of the
State, the Reform movement was an
"ofgSnised' ',movement-.iu many ofthe m
"a, thoroughly organized movement"
every township having its active club
orgauized, too, by the harmonious Co
operation of a preponderating majority
oftho intelligent white men. In tact,
it may be said to have beeH almost the
united voice of tho better classes.
The recent conference was composed
Of ,spresensasiues,of, these "organizod"
masses of'the white people ofthe State,
and We are Informed that every part of
Tire Statewas represented. Sumter had
90, Organization J; but gentlemen, true
to- the honor and interest OF the State
and county, wefe.as Columbia at the
time Of the meeting, aud we're invited
to sit with the conferences, aud did sit
with it. They assumed nothing as rep
-resentatives, specifically, but endorsed
fully the action of that Conference.
And let us here say tha. the men Of
iiouor, throughout the State, who com
pose the great mass as represented by
that conference, cannot aud will not
deny the position assumed by them pre-
vious to the election! The honor Of
this class of the people Of tho State
stands solemuly pledged, aud our gal-
liant and unimpeachable leaders-mcn
against whom slander has never dared
to whisper even in bated breath-men
such as inaugurated aud urged that move.
ment, never can and mover will violate
that honor. In, tho thick of the deadly
fight, the honor of the State was reflect.
cd from their heroism and devotion, and
we are willing to trust them ip the
midst of peace.
We repeat it, the conference recently
held at Columbia represented, by directly
delegated authority, the mass of the in.
telligent white citizens of the State.
And they were men the people have de.
lighted to honor in the past, and still
trust with the fullest confidence.
