The Sumner Resolutions.

The resolutions adopted the other
night speak of Sumner as pillar of the
republican party. The orators took care
not to allude to the fact that Mr.. Sum-
ner had been virtually expelled from
what they call the republican party. lie
had been insulted by republican presi-
dent; he had been degraded from the
craftsmanship of the committee oftorelgn
relations, which he held by seniority as
well as by the higher claim Of fitness; he
had been denounced by the republican
senators; he ha6 been placed on only
insignificant committees by a republ can
vice president, so long his colleague; he
had been censured by the republican
general assembly of his own state; he
had been caracatured in the republican
papers; and could not have been his own
successor from the state he had honered
by being its representative.
MIR. Sumner was bolter. lie Do!uly
impeached the powerful party he had
done so much to form; he criticised the
president OF that party and opposed his
schemes. For this he was exposed tc
the hate of all politicians ofthe regular
order.
IF Mr.. Sumner had been q resident Of
South Carolina he could not have been
elected to the Office of representative
from Beaufort county, for he would have
despised the arts and means necessary to
success here. He would have been de-
nounced as democrat and a rebel by
the very men who voted so enthusiastic
cally for the resolutions.

No Murder,

The body found near Nix X Road,
supposed to be that of Oliver Bell, prov
ed on examination to be that Of Richard
Williams. An inquest was held over it
by trial justice Sanders and a verdict
rendered of accidental drowning. The
man had been seen very much intoxicat-
ed, and it is presumed that he fell in the
water and was unable to get up.
We have received a letter from Mr..
j. o. II. Sanders, trial justice, in regard
to his co nection with the case Of Oliver
Bell. He says:
"Oliver Bell and John Ruth we're sus-
pccted of having robbed the store of Mr..
j. J. Youmans. 4 search warrant was
procured from me, and some of the
articles found in possession otJohn Ruth
who confessed the crime, and stated that
Oliver Bell was his accomplicc. Bell
was then arrested with warrant and
also confessed guilt. | then committed
them to Jail to await trial. While they
were on the way, Mr. Youmans and
james Ruth, the father OF one Of the
prisoners agreed upon compromise.
They were then discharged by me. Such
was my entire connection with the case.
Oliver Bell is still alive and has been
living ever since the difficulty in The
neighborhood OF Cypress creek"
Mr.. Sanders objects to our remark
that there seemed to be an administra
ton Of the law peculiar to that ncighbor-
hood. Taking his own statement of this
case we must adhere to our opinion Of is
pcctlliarity. Here are two men com
mittcd for trial on charge Of burglary.
The prosecutors coucludc to take pay for
the stolen goods and drop the complaint
The Justice then takes back his COM
mittment, r:opens the case and discharg-
eS the prisoners. This is compounding a
felony, and yet Mr. Sanders secs nothing
peculiar in it. 1t is quite evident that
such things have been of no unfrcqucnt
occurrence in that neighborhood. We
understand that the whole subject will be
brought before the next term of court
and We therefore refrain from further
comment.
Mr.. Sanders ndulges in some rebukc
to our informant, but he evidently does
not know that all the information we had
We derived from Sheriff Wilson. So that
part of his letter it is not worth while to
publish.

The Bishops VISIT

= Last Sunday the services at the Epis-
copal church were rendered particularly
interesting by the presence of Bishop
Howe, who preached in the morning to
large congregation. The rite of con-
frmation and the sacraments ofthe COM
munion and baptism were administered
by the bishop assisted by The Rector and
by Rev. James Elliott OF st Pauls'
church Charleston and Rev. Mr.. Belhn-
ger of Colleton. Five persons were con-
frmed. In the afternoon meeting for
children was addressed by the reverend
MIR. Bellinger. In the evening large
congregation listened to sermon from
| Rev. Jas. Elliott. The music selected
for the services was given with spirit by
the ladies and gentlemen Of the choir,
and contributed greatly to the pleasure
Of the occasion.
The elegant decorations of the Easter
services remained in the church, exciting
renewed admiration of the floral offerings
of the congregation.

Dinner at GillisOnyille.
ITO the COMMERCIAL


Last week the citizens of St: Lukes
parish gave dinner in honor of n. b.
Myers, the representative from that sec
ton of the county. There were present
some three hundred persons, who met at
the residence of the Rev. B. Williams,
at Gillisonville. N. B. Myers presided
at the feast. r. L. Miller, School Com.
missioner, and Paul Pritchard, County
Commissioner, occupied seats on his
right and left hand, and portion OF the
Beaufort delegation were prominent
among those who partook of the good
things provided.
The first toast offered was by K. L.
Morrison.-" May St. Lukes parish be
represented in the future as she has been
in the past.'
DR.. Paul Pritchard responded in his
usual elaborate style, eulogizing the hon.
orable gentleman as to the course he had
pursued since he had represented that
parish in the legislature. In concluding
his remarks he gave: "The Hon. n. B.
Myers, one who has faithfully represent
cd his constituents, discharged his whole
duty, deserves the plaudits of his peo-
pie"
The Rev. B. Williams gave: "Oul
honored representative who has battled
against high taxation, fraud and corrup'
| tion.'
Hon. n. B. Myers responded, thank
ing them for the kind feelings manifested
toward him. He felt that words could
not express the emotions struggling with
in his breast on such an occasion, when
he returned home to meet with such q
reception, and the assurance from hi:
constituents that he had done his whole
duty. 1t was sufficient honor for any
public servant to know that those who
reposed confidence in him were satisfied
with his course, and he took the recep'
ton he had met with as an endorsement
of his actions. He gave: "The repdb!l'
can party ; united We stand, divided VIC
fall" Which was responded to by L
Z. Miller, who gave toast in refere &C
to the public schools, which was respond
ed to by H. G. Labitut and 5. }. Bamp'
field. c. Holmes gave: "Our i. v ted
guests"-responded to by representative
Gannt. "Thc colored clergy by DIR.
Paul Pritchard was responded to by Rev.
Seaboru Drayton and B. Williams.
u. 7. Morrison gave: "ln our diStin'
guished representative Hon. n. B.
Myers, we have faithful representative
and one whom we have endeavored tc
honor, but not sufficient to demonstrate
our appreciation of the course he has
pursued
Harmony and good feeling pervaded
throughout the meeting.

An Outrage.

The Walterboro Neps contains an
account of an outrage which we give
below. We have made inquiries but can
learn no other particulars. The wretches
ought to be hunted to death.
Information reaches us of a most
brutal and fendiSh outrage being perpc-
trated upon the person of white woman
from our vicinity on the Port Royal Rail-
road o week or ten days ago, by two col
orcd employees or workmen on that road.
The young woman has been lately mar
ricd, and she had accompanied her hus-
band up there when he was at work !;
about dusk one afternoon while walking
on the track she was set upon by these
fiends incarnate, and her person sub
jcctcd to an outrage that makes one IS
blood curle to think of, and almost calls
for the exercise Of a "short Shirt and
long cord" and the powers Of Judge
Lynch. The names of the wretches are
known, but as they have fed from justice,
we refrain from giving them, as it may
defeat their capture.

n@- The oft repeated argument in ia,
vor of Port Royal harbor over every 9th

exemplifed. The Iron propeller, St.
Louis, heavily loaded, was aground fo,
over two weeks on New Orleans bar.
Here she had no difficulty or impeachment
whatever in coming over the bar at low
tide, whereas it would have been impos-
sible to have crossed at either Charleston
or Savannah. Make a note of it ship.

A Jail Delivery.

The Unio. Herald asserts that the
governor, in single day, pardoncd thir-
ty->cven convictS out of the penitentiary.
The conyicts were discharged by :he war
den destitute of means to leave the city,
or get meal Of victualS. They went in
a body TO the state house for relief as
$1,000 had been appropriated for this
very purpose. But no record could be
found Of pardops having been issued.
Some Of the convicts wished to return to
the penitentiary rather than be left de- :
titutc away from home aud friends. III e
people Of Columbia naturally feel very
uncomfortable when they consider the
deStitution and consequent temptation to
commit crime by these men turned loose
upon them. They would willingly, how
ever, bear this inhiction, or even L score
or two more, if they might select enough
Of their official residents to fill the vacant
cells.

Locking the Stable.

1t is said that the governor has APP
pointed Judge Glover, conservative .oi
good character, as treasurer Of Orange
burg county in place of lIumbcrt, under
arrest. As liumbert has stolen, Or H,
regularly paid out, all the State and
county funds for the fiscal year, we
don't see any particular merit or advan-
tage in the appointment of Judge Glover.
IF there had been any money upon which
to draw contingent warrants the Govern
or would have appointed some one else.
