Death of DR.. J. L. Reynolds.
-- Rev. DR.. j. L. Reynolds. the eminent
divine, died in Greenville, of neuralgia of the
heart, on the 10Th ultimo, aged about 62
years. He was native of Charleston, and
was one Of the most scholarly Of Southern
divines. He was all entertaining and instruc-
tive writer, and author of quite number Of
essays and works which bear unmistakable
evidence of deep thought and clear, iucisive
mind. He was professor in several insti-
tutions of learning, and filled chair for q
long time in the University of South Caro-.
lima at Columbia. He was born in 1915, and
was one of the leading Baptist ministers in
America. Rev. DR.. R. Furman writes to
the News and Courier of him:
"The natural endowments of DR.. Reynolds
were of high order. His mind was thor
oughly trained and disciplined by early cul.
ture and by long years of patient, preserving
study. His course Of reading was varied
and extensive. By habit and by choice he
was a man of letters. He was q true lover of
learning But he especially excelled in the
departments Of Roman literature and Of bellies
lettres. As a theologian his attainments
we're extensive and his views eminently evan
gelical. Hence while he commanded the re.
spect of all denominations of Christians, he
was peculiarly loved and revered by the
members of his own denomination as the
courteous and able exponent of their doc.
trines and principles. nj. alsi
"As a speaker he was more than ordinari-
ly gifted. His personal presence was attract
i've, his voice sonorous, musical and we'll
modulated, bis gesticulation natural and ap-
propriate, and his vocabulary exceedingly
rich. His style, whether of composition or
of extemporaneous address, was fashioned
after the finest models of ancient art, and was
in high degre embelished with the adorn.
meuts of rhetorical elegance and grace"
Senator Blaine's Views. s..a.
- The St. Louis Democrat publishes an
interview with Senator Blaine, who was re.
Gently in that city, en- route to the Hot Springs.
Speaking Of President Hayes and the Repub-
lican party, Senator Blaine is reported to
have said: ... ....,.3-. .,. gi.i
"Mr. Hayes has undoubtedly placed him
self in position where he cannot receive the
cordial support of the party that elected him.
The line is in fact already so clearly drawn
between him and the party, that there can be
no doubt as to how each stands. Mr.. Hayes,
in party view, is neither on the Republican
side nor on thisline. He lie on the other side
of the line SO far as all the practical results
of his administration are concerned. It il
absurd to suppose that there can be any har.
mony between him and the Republican party
as long as he pursues his present course. The
people know whether he has carried out his
pledges as the President elected by the Re-
publican party" Being asked about the
Southern policy, Senator Blaine said that on
this subject there was. of course, a difference
of opinion, but the difference was very slight,
and it was safe to assume that there was no
great division Of sentiment in the party on
the matter. "Many honest Republicans"
said the Senator, "belisve that the Southern
people are as loyal to the Union as we are in
the North, but of this there is serious doubt.
The Southern people, it is true. are, accord
ing to all appearances, peacefully inclined
and show disposition tU maintain the su-
premacy of the National Government, but
men who were in the rebel army cannot so
readily give up their faith, and their profess
sions, in my opinion, are only skin deep. The
Southerners are laying low until they get on
top. They lead the Democracy, and should
their party get into power in 1880. they will
show hand that will surprise that class Of
Republicans, who believe that rec nciliation
has been complete. The Southern people are
not in fact reconcled. They are playing pol.
icy, and their purpose is to get possession of
the Government and rule it as they did be-
fore the war; and then all the established re-
suits of the wa., and reconstruction would be
set aside"
