GENERAL, GRANT.

The reasons impelling General Grant to
request the withdrawal Of the bill in Con-
gress pensioning him are explained by u
Washington letter to be due to his convic-
ton that he should be placed on the retired
list of the army. The veto by President
Arthur of the bill to place Fitz John Porter
on the retired list would estop him from
approving bill for General Grant, as the
principle involved in the Presidents objec-
ton to the Fitz John Porter bill would APP
ply equally to the case of Gen. Grant. The
President held that Congress invaded t.
constitutional prer0gative of the EXecuti -
in undertaking to name a particular person
for particular Office. He therefore could
not be guilty of the inconsistency of APP
proving the bilNfor the benefit of one per-
son while vetoing similar bill for another.
This was the reason why he recommended
a pension for General Grant. 1t has been
been suggested that Congress could pass a
bill providing for the appointment Of a gen
eral on the retired list of the army without
specifying any name for the position and
the President could then eXersise his con-
stitutional right and name Grant. There
are, perhaps twenty officers on the retired
list now who were placed there by specific acts
of Congress in their favor-acts which were
approved by President Grant and President
Hayes without question-and it is not like
ly that the technical objection of President
Arthur would have been raised had the
person to be benefited been other than Fitz
John Porter. There is undoubtedly more
friendly feeling for the project of putting
General Grant on the retired list, if it can
be accomplished, among Democratic Sena-
tors and members than among the Repub-
licans. Bills in his favor have been twice
defeated through the opposition of Rcpub-
lican members of the military committees.
Southern members Of Congress have almost
universally expressed themselves in favor
of such a measure. An intimate friend of
Gen. Grant says that he is indeed Il changed
man since the failure of the firm of Grant Il
Ward; that the shock was Il blow from
which even his iron frame and resOlute will
could not recover. lie said that only a few
days before the failure, so unconscious was
Grant Of the impending disaster that he
spoke in the most enthusiastic terms of his
financial standing, estimating his own
wealth and that of each of his sons at Il mil
lion or two, and also remarking that he
had gone into business with the main idea
of advancing the interests of his boys. Now
he seems to shun company and to prefer
being alone, and some of those who have
suddenly come upon him have been panied
and startled to see evidences Of tears trick
ling down that impassiVe face.

Henry Blount, one year ago. He maintain

- Some time last week a thief entered
the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church through
a window and stole the pulpit Bible, the
minister's hymn book, a pitcher, some
tools which carpenters had left in the build
ing, and other articles. The Bible was
a very fine one and was highly priced by
the congregation, who will reward the per-
son who will find and return it. The name
of the church was printed on the back and
itwas eXcellently bound.
Mrs. Martha J. Steele, the aged mother
of our respected tOWnSman, Mr.. John >.
Roach, died at the residence of Mrs r. NJ.
Kerr in this place on Friday of last week,
aged It years. Mrs. Steele was native Of
York county and was ever held in the high
est esteem by the community. She was
twice married, her first husband being Mr..
Ross Roach, who died many years ago.
Her second husband was the late John VI.
Steele who died during the war.
During the past conference year, Rev.
Mr.. Traywick, pastor of the Rock Hill cir
cult, preached 2l5 sermons, besides doing
all other customary pastoral work; he re-
ceived % persons into the church member
ship, and baptized 10 children. Two new
churches, the result of his energies, have
been built and paid for, an incomplete
church building has been finished, and Il
large debt removed from another. The
missionary and conference collections show
an increase of 100 per cent. over the last
year and it is expected the salary will be
paid up to cent. The present membership
of the church at Rock Hill is l2i, and Of
the whole Circuit, G23. During the past
year the increase in membership in the cir
cult has been about one hundred and the
church is still growing.
Saul Hill, colored, a son of Madison
Hill, was one of the darkies who left this
county several years ago for Liberia. Saul
seems to have prospered at his new home,
he being the owner Of about seven hundred
acres of good land. Last week his father,
in this county, received Il sack Of coffee
which had been shipped from Liberia to
him by his son. For the past five years
Saul has been shipping his entire coffee crop
to Il Philadelphia firm and it is pronounced
of good quality. His success in Liberia IS
exceptional, he being in very good financial
circumstances when he left. y number OF
other cOlOred men went to Liberia at the
same time, but some Of them returned in
year or so afterward as poor as church mice,
and thoroughly disguSted with the new
country.

THE LIEN LAW.

In the State Senate last Monday the bill
to repeal the lien law came up us special
order, when Mr.. Earle moved to strike out
the enacting clause. A lengthy debate en-
sued, participated in by number OF men,
hers, and when the debate closed, Mr.
Earle's motion to strike out the enacting
clause was voted on by yeas and nays, re-
sulting, yeas Is; nays II.
The following members voted in favor OF
the motion: Messrs. Bell, Benbow, Bic
man, Bobo, Buist, Coker, Earle, Howell,
McCall, Moody, J. w. Moore, Smith, Tai
bert, Williams, Wingard.
The following opposed it: Messrs, Black,
Byrd, Field, Leitner, Maxwell, ,J. B. Moore,
Munroe, Patterson, Redfern, Sigh, Todd,
Wallace, Woodward and Youmans.
In order to finish the bill effectually, a
motion was adopted that the bill be recon-
sidered and the motion to reconsider be
tabled. This places the matter where it
was before the Legislature met, and no other
effort to abolish the Lien law will be made
this session.
This was the only important action of the
Senate during the day.
In the House, the general appropriation
bill was taken up. Mr.. Haskell made a
general explanation Of the reasons govern
ing the Committee on the changes made in
the items of the Bill, which show an appa-
rent increase or decrease, the aggregate
showing Il reduction of S43, 1926 as COM
pared with the appropriations in the last
bill.
The first attack was made upon the APP
preparation of $4,000 for maintaining the
militia organizations, by Il motion of Mr..
w. B. Wilson, of York, to strike out the
clause.
Mr.. Haskell said the reason governing the
committee was that they found the existing
law required such an appropriation. If the
clause was rejected it would in effect repeal
the law.
Mr.. Wilson said that he had made the
motion in full view of the effect suggested,
but while one Legislature had the right to
make the law, it imposed no binding force
upon another to make the appropriation.
He asserted vigorously the policy or utility
of the expenditure for such purpose as
contemplated.
The discussion was entered into by Messrs.
McHugh, Kennedy, McIver, Ancrum, Sim
ons, Boykin, Davie, A. NJ. Youmans, Lee,
Schumpert, and O'Bryan.
The yeas and nays were demanded on the
question and resulted: yeas %, nays 81.
Other items of the bill were discussed, the
debate running through the evening session,
when Mr.. Wilson fired final shot at the
militia appropriation by moving to reduce
it from s14, 900 to $4,000, and Mr.. Mclver
moved to table the amendment. The yeas
and nays resulted: Yeas IS, nays 30. The
bill was finally ordered to third reading,
about five hours having been consumed in
its discussion.
Other Legislative proceedings arc printed
in another column.

the BAPTIST, the Episcopaian and the Quak-
er, but Methodsm has been his most faith
full and constant friend.

the great work done by MethOdism among
the aborigines within the boundaries Of the

sonarics among the Indians.

the Senate in favor of the bill. He
said the bill reported was entirely
in the line Of absolute security t.

to assist, protect and continue an

the business of Congress to main

the fact that a bond is to he paid
according to its face and its terms

man. When Congress had done
that, let private speculation take up
