A recent Washington special
says: A bill has been framed
and is to be Introduced after the
recess, abolishing the Office of
Chief Justice. 1t is said to have
the support of ConkIing, Morton
and others Of the leading legal
minds of the Senate. It is con-
tended that the presiding, Or
Chief Of the Justices, should be
selected by the voice Of that body
at all, and that his compeers
would be best able to make a Sc
lection which would be satisfac-
tory and creditable.

was intimately identified with

and has been in command of

steamship M3bonJo, on a voyage
from Honolulu to. San Francisco,
he was stricken with paraly sis,

FIRE IN ANDERSON. - On Sunday
night last, about II o'clock, the marshal
on duty noticed the flame and smoke
issuing from the residence of Miss Fam
ME Earle, situated in the North eastern
portion of town, and Immediately gnvc
the alarm. Miss Fannie Earle and some
little children Of Maj. Thos.. 3. Lee
were rescued without injury, but Mrs.
Harris and daughter, who slept upstairs,
both suffered severe injuries in being
taken down. Miss Harris, finding it
impossible to escape by way of the
stairs, which were on fire, leaped OF fell
from the second story windsor, striking
the ground violently, breaking one OF
her ankles and bruising herself. BY
this time Il ladder was procured, and in
descending, it broke with Mrs. Harris,
precipitating her to the ground and Sc
yerely bruising her. Very few articles
were saved from the building, owing to
the entrances being all on fire. Two fine
pianos and quantity of silver, the
property of Miss Earle, were consumed
in the building. Mrs. Harris and
daughter lost everything they possessed.
The entire loss is considerable, neither
the house nor the furniture being in
sured. The house was owned by Mrs.
NJ. E. Sloan, who is now residing in
Virginia. Mrs. Keith's house, on the
opposite side of the street, was almost
nliraculously saved through the noble
exertions of the workers. The colored
people deserve great deal of praise for
their manly and untiring efforts on the
occasion. The fire is supposed to have
originated in the cook room, which was
in Mrs. Harris portion of the bnilding.

for q copy of the Journal of the Eighty
fifth Annual Convention of the Episco-

in, st. Philips Church, Charleston, on

of increased contributions to meet finan-
cial necessities. The question Of the
ordination of colored ministers was
postponed to the next Convention.
With regard to the new Hymnal, n reso-
luton was passed recommending to the
General Convention that its use be made
optional with each congregation. The
question of color we suppose cannot be
STAYED off much longer, and the Con-

But for the fact that it was damaged by

twenty-five bushels to the acre. Mr.. f.

Mr. Wm.s lts native Of Abbe-

of Mobile, accornp panied by
his daughters, Miss LncysC G. and Fanny ny
Truwit, spent night at the Aston
House last week on their way TO Vlslt
their relatives in the lower part OF the 1'
County. They returned again on Mon
day morning en- route to Williamsburg,
Va, where they have also relatives, ana
where the young ladies propose remain
ing until August. The father is about
making trip to Europe, with several
objects in view-the restoration of his
health, to look after an inheritance OF
sixty thousand pounds coming to the
family from Ireland, and to re-instate
his business in Paris, where he has had
extensive dealings, and now owns a
residence. lie left Abbeville a poor
boy more than forty years ago, and no"
counts his wealth by hundreds of thou
sands. His daughters are accomplished
ladies, educated in Europe, and speak
several languages. They will be back
in the latter part of the Summer, and
we trust that Abbeville will prepare to
give them pleasant and hospitable re-
ccption. We have been promised a
letter from the ladies, giving impressions
of their visit and other notes by the

Judge Carpenter; in his charge to the
Grand Jury of Edgefield County on
Monday morning last, speaking of the
new license law, and instructing the
jury as regards their consideration of
applications for license, said that now-a-
days, as general thing, no real liquor
was sold-herc nor anywhere else in this
country. There was no brandy, no
whisky, no gin. Everything of the sort
was concoction of poisons - water,
prussic acid, strychnine, &c. And that
men We're very often not drunk, but
drugged or poisoned. He, therefore,
urged upon the jury the Importance Of
being careful and conscientious in the
matter, i. c., granting licenses only to
persons who they felt sure would not
carry the drug and poison business too
far.

Burying the Ratchet.

The Yorkvillc Enquirer gives IN
interesting account Of the decoration
Of the graves Of both Confederate
and Federal soldiers buried in that
town, which was done in response to
q proposition cmanating from the
soldiers Of the garrison stationed
there. 1t is another illustration of
the fact that the soldiers Of tho two
armies cherished no feelings of per-
sonal hostility, and, now that the war
is over, are willing to meet as broth
ers, ard to honor alike tho memory
of the heroes of the opposing armies.
Not until the example of these SOL
diers shall be followed, and the bitter
memories of the past shall be laid
asidc, will true concord and fraternity
between the sections be brought
about. In tho eloquent address of
Major Hart, delivered on the occasion,
he says
"In the fierce conflict, the soldiers of
the opposing armies were actuatcd by
no personal animosities. Their tried
valor was the result of true manhood
and devotion to duty. The constituted
authorities which each acknowledged
called to arms, and they sprang to the
front without pausing to debate the IS
sues that separated the sections. L re-
member more than once, during the
war. to have heard the remark from
both Federal and Confederates, that If
tue soldiers of the two armies could be
drawn up face to face, in one long line,
and the politicians sent to the rear, they
would stack arms and ratify an honora-
bic peace in half an hoar.'
Ten years have passed, and public
opinion has kept pace with the progress
of time. The gallant dead Of both con-
tending armies, in their jackets OF gray
and jackets Of blue, sleep side by side
on an hundred battlc-ticlds, from Get
tysburg to the Rio Grandc. The grave,
long ago, made peace between them, and
their naneless and unm&TEcu tonlbs
have brought an admonition to the liv-
ing, that to-day is throbbing the hearts
and moving the impulses of the people
Of our common country wherever q SOL
.licr of the late war fell.
We have met to-day to offer the sad
tributes of love to their memories.
Young and agcd-yoath and maidcns-
former foes and fricnds-havc assembled
with garlands in their hands, and the
sweet offerings of friendship in their
hearts, to wreathe above the graves OF
hose who fell at the call of duty"

DUE WEST ITEMS.

{ One of the Ordinances of the Town
Council of Due West prohibits all per-
sons from "riding and drivingn horse,
or OK upon any OF the slde
walks of the town. If man walks. we
presume he may drive a horse, mule
or OK where he pleases. The offence
seemss to be in "riding" and driving.
There appears to be no penalty for driv-
ino n horse on the side walks unless, the
driver is riding.
The town council of Due West propose
70 Grant license to persons desiring to
self lemonade in that town on "public
occasions" and say that stands Nos. l,
.. and 3, shall be located within the en-,
closed campus of Ersk:ne College, ana
by the Faculty of the College, Query:
Suppose the Faculty conclude that Il
lemonade stand on their premises IS
nuisance and refuse or neglect TO locate
stands Nos. |, 2 and 3. There seems to
he no penalty attached for disregarolns
the orders of the council in this partlc-
ular.
We don't know the meaning of the
welrl "hitching" in the fifth line OF the
sixth ordinance of Due West. VINO
are prevented from "hitching" to the
shade trees and fences along the slde
walks-"all persons" or ia horse, mule
or oxm 1t isn't exactly clear to us. ~
it is intended to prevent "all persons
from being hitchcd to the shade trees
and fences, the public will feel gratelui
for being spared.
Does any body know when the 0 r u
Nauces of Due West were ratified?
Recently in Athens, Ga, one young
man struck another Oh the head with
his base ball bat, from the effects of
which he soon died. Is a base ball bat
a deadly weapon? If so, have the coun-
Gil in Due West collected from the
Young men fines in accordance with Sec
ton Of the third Ordinance?
Wagons are not allowed to camp with
in flour hundred yards of the church
in Due West" AS there are two
churches in Due West, one belonging to
the whites, andthe other to the colored
people, we do not sec how the wagons
are to know which is the church. This
matter ought to be settled at once.
Under the provisions of Section I Of
the third Ordinance we do not see how
Mr.. +. w. II. Nance is to kill his beeves,
except by drowning or perishing.
The citizens of Due West would do
we'll to read thelaws Of the town care
fnlly. One important item deserves no.
tice. Ordinance Number prohibits
farmers from bringing their field
products to that town on "public occa.
sions," under heavy license penalties.
The citizens should see to it that their
supply of provendcr for man and beast
is ample before any "public occasion"
sets in, as after that time their supply
cannot be rcplenished. A farmer would
run great risk in offering load of hay,
oats, fodder of corn to any Of the citizens
during Commencement week.
Additional notices may be expected
next week.

n9- During the past week the Junior

and was forcibly impressed with the
change in its citizenship. When we knew
the place fifteen or twenty years ago
there were not quite as many persons in
the town as there arc now, bat of this
number only one man remains Mr..
Richcy Scaright. Think Of it. The
citizens of q whole to town change in
fifteen years. Some of those whom we
knew in our childhood have moved to
other homes, but the great majority OF
them sleep beneath the sod. Truly
