Death of Vim. H. McCaW, Esq.

The startling news that William II. McCaw,
Esq, of Columbia, had met tragic end has
already reverberated throughout the State.
Mr.. McCaw was engaged in writing letter to
the Charleston Nea0s and Courier, and was
alone in his Office on Wednesday night, when
his clothing caught FIRE in some unexplained
manner. Being unable to repress the flames,
he sought assistance from the nearest quarter,
but the injuries he received proved fatal, and
he died on Thursday afternoon, from inhala-
tion of the flames. This sudden and untimely
death cast deep shadow over the hundreds
assembled in Columbia from every part of the
State for he was highly esteemed as fearless,
brilliant journalist and pure,: upright gentle
man. Mr. McCaw was native of Abbeville
County, and had just passed the 2sth year of
his age. He had been connected with journal
ism for number of years, and was widely
known as the able correspondent of the Ns,Us
and Courier, over the signature Of "Qui Vive"
A bright and promising future was before him,
and the people of the State regarded him as
the embodiment of faithfulness and vigilance,
in exposing wrong and defending the right
Resolutions we're adopted by the Taxpayers
Convention as mark of respect for his virtues
and worth, and his death called forth earnest
tributes from friend and foe. Among the latter,
as expressing admiration of the highest order,
and rejecting credit upon the writer, we ap-
pend the generous, truthful words contained in
the eulogy pronounced by the Columbia Union
Herald:
With q powerful and cultivated intellect,
with warm and generous nature, with fear
less and chivalric character, he made straight
his paths before his fellow man, impulsive and
vigorous, yet brave and collected. McCaw was
strong and energetic in all things; strong in
els likes; strong in his dislikes strong in de-
nouncing what he believed to be wrong; and
strong in sustaining what he believed to be
right. It was our province. to differ with him,
greatly differ with him in many things, and to
meet him honestly, squarely and gallantly in
the generous rivalry of our profession. 1t was
our privilege to feel that the sharp sentence
that dashed from his pen, like the fash of the
blade of Toledo, often lost its tempered edge
in the ready smile, the merry laugh, and in the
gentle expression and genius of an eye that
never auailed in the discharge or consequences
of his duty.
There is no man without the fault of human
nature, but whatever his faults, he wore the
honor of his gallant and promising youth like
diamond on his bosom, and carried in bis
hand, even unto death, the love and admira-
ton of host of friends, among whom he was
a tower of strength, and the respect even Of
those who stood opposed to him in the struggle
of life.

The Late Robert S. Bruins.

The death. of this active, useful citizen, and
prominent Mason, was announced in our last
issue, but we ARE constrained to pen few
words in memory of our distinguished friend
and brother, which absence from home pre-
vented last'week.
Mr.. Bruins was native of Charleston, and
in that city was justly esteemed by all classes.
The genial warmth of his nature and his rare
requirements gave him strong power in pop
lar favor, and in whatever capacity he was
thrown amopg his fellow-citizens, there was a
ready recognition of his intelligent leadership
ard guidance. He was also prominent in bus
ness circles, and was widely known for great
worth and high integrity. ,,...... 81.
But it was as Mason, that Mr.. Bruins at
tained greater eminence than in any other
department of life. We cannot recount his
entire career in this fraternity, which was so
varied and extensive, but will only mention
the most striking features. He was elected
Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge in 1866,
and to his labors in this Office can be attributed
much of the prosperity which ensued during
the next three years, whereby extinct Lodges
were revived and many new ones chartered.
He declined reelection in 1869, and none
who were present will ever forget the urgent
requests made upon him to accept the Office for
another year. In 1871, he was elected Grand
Master, and until December last, discharged
the grave and responsible duties of this high
position with signal ability and characteristic
zeal. His health was failing most rapidly, and
it was apparent to him that only short time
would elapse until he should "fnd an entrance
through the gates" into the realities OF an
eternal world. His closing address was the
theme of general admiration, and presaged the
dissolution of his earthly tabernacle.
In Royal Arch Masonry, Mr.. Bruins was like
wise eminent, and for several years filled the
Office of Grand High Priest in South Carolina,
and also Deputy General Grand High Priest
Of the United States, thus becoming known
throughout the Masonic world. Among the
numerous addresses of Mr.. Bruins, we are sure
that our readers will recall the admirable pro-
duction delivered by him at this place on the
oath of June, 1871, which was so universally
praised for its chaste and beautiful exposition
of the moral principles and tenets of the craft.
A friend who stood by the death bed of the
noble, gifted Bruins tells us that his last mo-
ments were calm and peaceful, so that it
was scarcely perceptible when the spirit was
freed from the tenement of clay. Like gentle
slumber o'ercoming an infant came the De-
stroyer's footsteps, bearing away from earths
busy scenes a giant intellect, whose virtues
arose SIN shapes of mercy, charity and love"
to walk the world and bless it.
"Sure the last end
OF the good man is peace How calm his exit!
Night winds fall not more gently to the ground;
Nor weary worn-out winds expire so soft"

The Monument to the Confederate Dead.
a circular from the officers Of the South
Carolina Monument Association appears in
another column, and shows the progress OF the
work in. which they are so patriotticaliy en-
eaged. The difficulties and delays heretofore

these noble women, and they are more than
ever determined to fulfill their designs in erec-

JUDGE Carpenter and the Press.

The editor of the 7rgc Southron, published
at Sumter, gave mortal offence to Hon. 4. B.
Carpenter, Judge of the Fifth Circuit, by GER
tain structures upon mis- Honor's conduct in the
matter of the Citizens Savings Bank. There
upon, Judge Carpenter issued rule against
the aforesaid editor, w. G. Kennedy, Esq,
commanding him to appear and answer on Sat-
urday last for contempt of the judicial ermine,
as represented by the aforesaid Judge. Mr.
Kennedy made return to the rule against
him, but the Judge declared his return INSULT
cient, and the defendant was allowed until the
slst of March to file an amended return.
Judge Carpenter has undertaken huge job
in rectifying matters in this summary way. He
strikes blow at the liberty of the press, while
his true remedy against any licentious abuse
of this liberty was to bring suit of libel
against the proprietors of the True Southron.
His course deserves the unqualified condemna-
ton of the public, and we are certain that he
will remain solitary and alone in this method
of arraigning editors for their attacks upon the
judiciary. Mr.. Kennedy denies the jurisdic.
tion and refuses to recognize the authority of
Judge Carpenter, as be lives in another Cir
cult, where he is amenable for any offence
against the laws. This is strong ground, and
we fail to recognize the power with which his
Honor will ultimately enforce his DEGREES
against the defendant. He is not lawyer,
and cannot be stricken from the roll of attor-
neys. He is simply private citizen, who has
rights undeniable, and who cannot be deprived
Of his personal freedom or his property with
out due process of law. The mere ipse dirit of
Judge is not sufficient, and the calm judg-
ment of his Honor will approve this declara-
tion.

Free Bridge across Seneca River.

The grand jury, at the recent term OF 'Coafs,
recommended "the erection of free bridge
across Seneca River, at some suitable point, for
the benefit of the people Of the Fork country"
We heartily concur in the recommendation,
and feel confident that the citizens of Ander-
son County will sustain the County Comn,is-
sioners in prompt action upon this subject.
The suggestion OF the grand jury contemplates
the erection Of new bridge, which ought to
be most substantially constructed, without
being, liable to constant repairs, as would be
the case 10 the purchase Of an old bridge. At
one time the County Commissioners thought
Of purchasing Earle's Bridge, at Shallow Ford,
and when that structure was sold in December
last, the Commissioners were ready to give .
reasonable sum for the property. % But the
legatees of the Earle estate went beyond the
Price agreed upon. by the Commissioners, and
those gentlemen declined to purchase. We do
not know that the property can be bought at
much lower. figure at the present time, but pre-
sumo that the owner does not underate his re-
cent purchase to any considerable extent. Un-
less the Commissioners find that EarIe's Bridge
can be bought for something like the figures
agreed upon last fall, we think the most feasible
plan is to carry out the recommendation Of the
grand jury, and begin the erection of & SUBJ
stantial and enduring structure at the most
suitable point, which could be best ascertained
by o survey of the country. We are Informed
BY agentleulan familiar with the matter that
an admirable crossing can be obtained between
sloan's Ferry. and Shallow Ford, where the
river might be spanned with single arch, and
the approaches on either side made 10 great
advantage, thereby avoiding the difficult hills
on the Shallow Ford Road. Certainly, next to
accommodating our friends of the Fork coun-
try, the greatest inducement for a free bridge
across Seneca is to facilitate the trade and
business Of Anderson, and this can be accom-
plished most surely by aaordiug smooth
Highway for loaded wagons, which would in
duce persons from a distance to seek this route.
Another strong argument in favor of crossing
at the point named is that more people will be
better accommodated, since the inhabitants
generally Of. the Fork would be nearer to the
bridge, and consequently more accessible to
the Anderson market. At any rate, we trust
the Commissioners will examine every side Of
this important matter, and not allow their final
Judgment to be swayed by mere temporary ad-
yantages or short-sighted views of economy.
