THE LATE A. II. ApnAuAMs, ESQ.

THE LATE a. II. ABRAHAMs, ESQ. -
Another old citizen Of Charleston has
gone. Yesterday morning tho venerable
man, whose name heads this article,
breathed his lust, at his residence in
State street, surrounded by large host
Of weeping friends and relatives. Mr..
A. 81. Abrnhams was born in Bremen,
in the year 1901, and was at the time Of
his death seventy years old. At an
early age he came to Charleston, aud
started in business, which by his thrift,
integrity and enterprise he soon made
remunerative. he has lived in Charles
ton for half q century, aud been identi-
fed with her business interests for over
thirty years. Yesterday morning, while
in the enjoyment OF apparent health, q
sudden fit of apoplexy carried him of,
and terminated long life OF usefulness.
He was q man of large heart, and nl.
though unostentatious, never tired in
doing good. Among the Isrneites he
was held in high esteem. aud none knew
tho man but to respect him.

From first to last, during the two hours
which were spent in it's delivery, Gen.

GUS applause, when he made nllusion to
the more prominent events III the life Of
the great Virgininn, or to the more pro-
minent of his great tlieutenantsa and com
rades.in-arms. It is not possible, in an
outline of the address. to convey an ude-

eloqnence. It will be- published shortly
by the committee, III pamphlet form,
when all will have IN opportunity Of
reading the eloquent tribute OF the great
Carolina soldier to the memory Of his
illustrioua commander. Among tile dis

The burning Of Chicago, terrible as
that catastrophe has been, is actually
surpassed in horror by the greater fires
in the Northwest. These fires have
swept through five great States, totally
destroying cities, villages and farm
houses, consuming almost incalculable
Quantities OF wood and lumber, running
the crops. and causing loss of life that
is absolutely appalling. Probably 1000
persons will prove to. have perished in
the burned district of the Northwest,
while it is impossible to estimate the
actual and prospective loss in property
which the fire has caused.

:
Mr.. EDTTcH: The colored people Of
South Carolina have been not only de-
frauded out Of their right to representa-
ton in the appointment of their dele
gates, but also grossly insulted by the
Republican Executive Committee, (so.
Called in the assumption Of that right
which clearly belonged to their mastors,
the people. This fraud, perpetrated by
these pseudo Republicans, is only equal
Ell by their impudence. By what right
has this committee assumed to speak for
tho pcople2 What do they know of the
wants or care for the rights and interests
of either the white or the black race?
Their delegation is that OF clique,
elected in the interest of corrupt ring,
bent only on advancing it's selfish
schemes, at all hazards. Tie honied
words OF some OF the speakers on that
occasion will be long remembered Us tho
utterances Of those who have deceived
us once, with the whining cant Of the
hypocrito, and but open our cy es to the
fact that they can only be intended to
deceive us again. The delegates chosen
by the said committee might hnve been
elected by the people, but must be repn-
dated hereafter if they accept The posi-
tion Of our representatives. acihom our
action or approral That the colored
people of the State have not elected
delegates to represent them despite the
action Of the committee) does indeed re-
fleet upon their manhood, intelligence
and patriotism, but it is not too late to
say that there are those OF us who pre-
fer no representation Whatever, to that
of delegation elected by clique,
which has shown so clearly its utter IN
difference to any higher aim than party
success, and the emoluments of Office
We utterly repudiate tile trickery aud
corruption of that insolent ring. which,
in the name Of Kepublicanism, las per-
petrated this fraud upon our rights; aud
wo also repudiate the delegation Which
can only represent the corrupt clique
which called it into existence. When
the future candidates for office, nomi-
nnted through the treachery and gold Of
these inflated tricksters, nre pluced be-
fore ns for our suif'rnges, we will repudi.

CoRREcTIoN.-It seems that we were
in error in assuming that the City Coun-
ci! had adopted the resolutions of the
Mayor, offered at the recent meeting of
the City Council. They were referred
to q committee. Thus it appears that
we have givon the City Council too much
credit. So much the worse for that
body. It appears that it has not yet
reached even that measure of redress,
inadequate and partial rs we have cha
racterized it, and as we still deem it.

In referring to the Presidents South
Carolina Ku Klux proclamation, The New
York World says:
Republican logic is neatly exemplified
in city cotemporary's defence of the
''severe measures" against supposed
members of the Ku Klux Klan carried
out by "Federml officials in North Caro-
lima, and now to be enforced by the
same authority in South Carolina.
Avoiding the main question of jurisdic-
ton, save in q passing allusion to the
indignation Of the Southern press at this
usurpation Of power by the central ad-
ministration, it is placidly asserted that
''no lnw-nbiding citizen will be likely to
object to any measure designed to put
IN end to the reign of violence and
punish fragrant crime" On the contra
ry, it seems to US that NIL "law-abiding"
citizens, and they alone, are "likely to
object" to the exercise of despotic autho-
rity; and this not from any sympathy
with the violence or crime of private in
dividuals. but because Justice, to be
assured, must be circumscribed by laws
which bind the rulers as we'll ps the
ruled. Suoh an argument as we have
quoted is founded on the Jesuitical
maxim that "the end jnsti6es the means" I"
overriding oil law save the law of might,
and would apply with equal piansibility
to the sudden vengeance of an irrespon-
sible mob, or to the invasion of onr
shores by the forces OF foreign govern
ment which might desire, in the Interest
Of humanity, to repress the violence of
Butler aud his followers in Mnssnchu-
setts, or to punish the peculntions of
Federal office-holders in the New York
Custom House.

Aught In Malice''-The Duty Of tho

Aught In nIalice''-The Duty Of the
City Council.
The City Council have been advised
TO put forth statement with reference
to their conduct in connection with the
City Hall and now market. Let US, by
all means, have this statement" We
are prepared to do justice. though the
heavens fall. This wo have to say: We
have offered no allegations, have made
no charges which we believe cannot be
substantinted. It is true, that wc shall
analyse very closely any statement that
the City Council may make But we
shall give full credit to the merits Of
their defence-if defence they have.
As to our object in this affair, it is the
protection of the public interests. The
proprietor of this journal is the oity
printer. If we wore to be influenced by
merely personal considerations, we
might remain silent, and exercise indul-
gence to the Council. But we claim to
have risen above these influences, and
to be engaged in the earnest defence of
those interests with which Independent
and honest journalism is charged. But
we 60 farther. There is something more
than ''statement" demanded Except
ing the motion to modify the bond ar
rangement, and to repudiate Alderman
Wiggs arrangement with DR.. Neagle,
the City Council have chosen to remain
silent as to the serious allegations made
of neglect nnd misconduct in connection
with the contract awards. Now, they
are bound to undo what has been wrong
fully done, and to do 30 forthwith. We
hold that it is obligatory upon the City
Council:
l. To repudiate all Mey hare done in
connection aoith The bonds issued; TO gecoue,'
possession of them and 10 cancel them.
2. To declare the contracts made. respect

80 to provide that if the new market and
City Hall should be built at all-which
is doubtful-hey SHAH be built upon The
best and cheapest terms possible, aoitAout
fraud and collusion in the premises.
This we hold that the City Council are
bound to do; this we believe is the
popular demand, aud this We hold the
City Council should in law be made to
do. Let the legal screw be applied Ii
necessary.
