WE LAY US DOWN TO SLEEP

We lay us down to sleep,
And leave to God the rest,
Whether to wake and weep
Or wake no more be best.
Why vex our souls with care?
The grave is cool and low
Have we found life 80 fair
That we should dread to go?
We've kissed loves sweet. red lips,
And left them sweet and red;
The rose the wild bee sips
Blooms on when he is dead.
Some faithful friends we've found,
But they who love us best.
When we are under ground
viii laugh on With the rest.
No task have we begun
But other hands can take;
Nor work beneath the sun
For which we need to wake.
Then hold us fast, sweet Death,
If so it seemeth best
To Him who gave us breath
That we shou uld 60 to rest.
We lay US down to sleep,
Our weary eyes We close;
Whether to wake and weep
Or wake no more He knows.

that the petition attempted to smooth over
the late war of insurrection by calling it ''the
war of the Confederacy." He said there
had been too much of attempted justification
of treason and rebellion by calling them rose

political disabilities removed because he had
been in the rebellion against his Government,
let him say so, and not call the rebellion "the

ever been prescribed heretofore, and he

POLITICAL NEWS.

An organization, called the Democratic
Union, has been formed in New York for the
campaign of 1880. 1t already numbers in its
ranks many leading Democrats who have
heretofore been identified with one or the 9th.
er of the Democratic organizations in that
city. The object of the Union is to secure
harmony in the Democratic party, even at the
sacrifice of both Tilden and Kelly, if neces'
sary.
Democrats are beginning to think about
the best place to hold the National Democrat
ic Convention. Cincinnati and Washington
are spoken of, and the former appears to be
the first choice. 1t is understood that eleven
members of the national committee have ex'
pressed preference for Cincinnati, with her
spacious hall and convenient committee rooms
all under the same roof and easily accessible
But Chicago is beginning to move in the
matter, and the energy she put into the fight
for the Republican convention, is guaran'
tee that her attractions will not be overlook
ed by the Democratic managers.
The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican writes: "a prominent
Republican Congressman, in conversation up
on the Presidential question today, said that
he considered the Grant movement practical
ly over, for the reason that there is now a
general agreement among Republicans here
that the ex.President could not be elected il
nominated. He thought it was evident enough
that there is deep seated feeling against a
third term, and that the German opposition
to Grant would be obstinate enough and pow
erful enough to carry Ohio, if not other natu'
rally Republican States, for the Democratic
candidate. For these reasons he thought it
would be impossible for Grant to secure a
nomination. The Congressman in questions
thinks that the prospect now is most favorable
to Blaine's nomination at Chicago"
-Ex-Governor Seymour has once more de-
clared that he will not, under any circum'
stances, accept the Democratic Presidential
nomination. This time, in conversation
with De Witt C. West, he seems to have en-.
deavored to use language that cannot be mis-,
interpreted. In order to show his weak phys
ical condition, he said that brief discussion
or conversation with friends on political topics
so affects his nervous system that it destroys
his nights rest. Mr.. Seymour added that he
had just resigned the presidency of an agri'
cultural association with the view of relieving
himself entirely of all cares and responsible,
ties, so that he can remain quietly at home
and take care of his health. The fact that
Mr.. Seymour, on certain memorable occa'
sion, consented to accept nomination after
having declared in very positive terms that
he would not, has led the public to suppose
that he would do the same thing again. The
leaders of his own party have felt this way,

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- Patent air brakes are being put on all
the passenger trains of the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad.
Owing to the advance in the price of
printing paper, othe Columbia Register has
been compelled to increase its subscription
price from 81 to SO year. :.
Various surmises are made as to the
length of the present special session Of the
Legislature. The most general opinion seems
to be that it will last from ten days to three
weeks.
- According to the United States census of
1870, there were in South Carolina, at that
time, 12,49O white males over 81 years of age
who could not write, and 1880 colored males,
over 21 years of age, who could not write.
- Commissioner A. P. Butler has been ap.
pointed by the commissioner of agriculture of
the United States, agent for the distribution
of seeds in this State, to cooperate with the

- The Air Line Railroad appreciates the
Importance of stock law. Recently this
company signed contract with the commits
soners of Greenville county, s. c., to pay $50

- Gen. Gary, who was in Charleston last
week, attending the meeting of the State
Grange, was serenaded at his hotel last
Friday night, and in response to calls. ap-
peared before the crowd, numbering about
six hundred persons, and delivered lengthy
speech, reviewing his record in the past, and
giving his views on the future of the State.
He spoke of his share in the work of the re-
demption of the State; but made no direct
allusion to Governor Hampton, nor did he in
the remotest manner refer to the recent con-
troversy between himself and Col. Haskell.
- On Tuesday night Of last week, on a
plantation in Richland county, belonging to
Capt. William Stack, about thirteen miles
above Columbia, negro cabin in which
nine negroes were sleeping, was destroyed by
fire, and all the inmates, consisting of two
men, woman and six children, perished in
the flames. The fire was discovered about 10
o'clock by negro woman residing in the vi
cinity, who ran to the burning building and
pulled off board when she heard one of
the children attempting to awaken its father
without success. Before assistance arrived
the cabin and its occupants were burned up.
The chimney was a crude affair, made of
clay and sticks, and is supposed to have
ignited while the negroes were asleep. The
cabin had but one door and no window, and
egress by the door being cut off by the flames,
escape was rendered impossible.

and have maintained that Mr.. Seymour could
be induced to accept the nomination, in spite
of his protests that he would not. This last
declaration of the Ex-Governor, however, is
apparently meant to be final, and it is evident
that he is not willing to risk his life for a
chance of becoming President. This appa-
rently puts an end to the Seymour boom.

Charlotte last week.
The Shelby Aurora says the Cleveland
Guards Of that town, which at one time were
about to disband, have revived, and are ma
king preparations to be present at the hosting
Of the centennial flag, at Kings Mountain, on

- 1t is stated that Governor Jarvis has de-
termined to call an extra session of the Legis-
lature of North Carolina, to meet March
10th, to consider certain propositions su bmit-
ted to that Commonwealth in reference to
the purchase of the States interest in the
Western North Carolina Railroad.
- In Charlotte, last Monday, an operator in

The force Of revenue raiders, under Capt.
Stockton, have been ranging around through

Buff, and man named Akers. Only Buff

their efforts to suppress illicit distilling.
- Speaking of the fence law election in
CASTOR county, the Charlotte Observer Of
Saturday says: At the recent election on
the fence law in CASTOR, it will be remem.
bered that only one township (South Pcint)
adopted it. At the time Of the election, il
was understood that if accepted, the law
should take effect in January, 1881. Since
the election question has arisen as to wheth.
er, on petition Of a majority of the voters
of South Point township, the county commits
missioners would have the right to order
that the law take effect on April l, 1880
The commissioners of CASTOR were to have
met at Dallas on Monday to consider the
question, but in consequence of the heavy
fall of snow, the meeting was postponed for
two weeks. There is already great excite
ment in the county on the subject, and it is
probable that it will become more intense
in consequence of the opportunity for discus
sion given by the postponement 1t is be-
lieved that the feeling which has arisen will
enter into and materially affect the politics Of
the county hereafter.

THE 7rH OF NEXT OCTOBER.


The Charlotte Southern Home, speaking of
the celebration of Washington's birthday at
Kings Mountain, on the 21st instant, refers as
follows to the centennial celebration to take
place on the 7th of October: ....
'sFrom all accounts, the celebration Of this

Of the sons of the two Carolinas, who have
never returned since they left their native

from Governor Roberts, Of Texas, in which he
states that he is already organizing large
body guard of old North Carolinians who will
attend the celebration with him. He has re-
ceived encouraging letters from many parts OF
the country, and is very buoyant over the pros
poets. Capt. Bell, the Secretary, and Mai. w.
