THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

On account Of the absence of the rector of the
Church of the Good Shepherd, who officiated in
Lancaster on Easter, no services were held in 1.-THE
former Church on that day. The services here
on last Sunday, however, Were in celebration OF
the day, on which occasion the church was deco
rated with flowers of Spring, the floral offerings
being more elaborate and more tastefully arrang-
ed than ever before. a wealth of flowers was
displayed and so arranged as to produce a most
pleasing effect. The communion table was taste
fully set off with flowers, and on each side of the
chancel was a large floral cross. The central fig
ure in front of the chancel consisted of a large
mound covered with ivy, moss and flowers, and
placed in the recesses were a large number of
Easter eggs, dyed in all conceivable shades and
so arranged as to be especially captivating to the
little children, among whom they were after
wards distributed. A garland Of evergreen,
wrought in exquisite shape, was suspended in
front Of the chancel, extending from the floor to
the ceiling, and in the centre of the garland, eX-
tending across the chancel, werethe words, 81 am
He that was dead and liveth.' "Alleluia.' On
the wall to the right of the chancel were the
words, "Holy, Holy, Holy" and to the left, the
inscription, 'Christ is risen.' The reading desk
and baptismal founts were also handsomelyd dec
Grated with evergreens and stands of flowers,
among them several luxuriant Gala lilies. The
walls were also wreathed, and in the centre Of
the vestibule was a large cross covered with ev-
ergreens and flowers. Miss Mary Lou Coward
presided at the organ, and the music rendered by
the choir consisted of choice selections appro-
pirate to the festivity of a risen Christ. Two
services were conducted by the rector, Rev. &.
A.. Ottmann, the discourses in the morning and
afternoon being founded on the words, ale is
risen.n

defendant attorneys, appertaining to the
number of references in the settlement of
estates is liable to be abused, to the detri-
ment of helpless citizens, therefore, be it
ResOlred, That in the sense of this conven-
ton that said fee bill should be so amended,
by limiting the number of references to be
charged for, to such an extent as will free it
from the liability of unjust abuses, and at
the same time will expedite the settlement
of estates.
Resolved, That this convention most re-
spectfully refer this matter to the consider
alton of the next General Assembly Of this
State, with the hope that wise and just
legislation may be taken thereon.
Mr.. Sigh supported his resolution IN a
forcible speech. He said he had endeavor-
ed to secure the legislation indicated at the
last session of the Legislature and had fail
ed but he believed that the endorsement
of this convention would carry an influence
which would be respected by that body and
secure the correction of the fragrant wrong
practieed under the existing fee bill. The
resolution was adopted.
The following resolutions offered by DIR.
ID. C. Tompkins, of Edgefeld, were also re-
ported by the committee and adopted:
Whereas in the report of the Comptroller
General, it is stated that some Of the coun-
ties return their taXaDle property aL HSules
far below others, some of the counties re-
turning horses at from s4s to $50 and Others
returning them from 800 to 800 therefore,
be it
Resolued, That the attention of the next
Legislature be called to this discrepancy
and a remedy provided.
The convention was entertained with the
reading of a paper by Mr.. Hawthorne, OF
Abbeville, which covered a wide range Of
subjects and furnished much merriment to
the convention in the absence of anything
else for consideration.
Col. ID. p. Duncan was invited to address
the convention, and, taking the platform,
he made one of his characteristic ringing
speeches in harmony with the conservative
utterances made in the convention. The
speech was applauded to the echo, and a
it's close a motion to adjourn until 9 A. NJ
Friday was made and prevailed.

RJSH0P MOORE.

Rt. Rev. Bishop ]. J. Moore, D.. d., of the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church,
preached an instructive sermon in the church of
that denomination in this place on last Sunday
night, His discourse was founded on Matthew,
"a: lE"And this gospel of the kingdom shall
be preached in ell the world, for a witness unto
all nations and then shall the end come" A
general invitation was extended to the white
people to attend the service, and quite a number
were present. The romantic history Of the early
life of Bishop Moore, published in the ENouI-
RER a few months ago, created a desire on the
part of many to hear him. He is venerable in
wears, and an earnest and intelligent minister.
AS Bishop he presides over the districts OF

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The-oyaton to Jefferson Davis last week on
the occasion of his visit to Montgomery, Attain
ia, Macon and Savannah, seems to have badly
frightened some of our good friends in the
North, notably a few of the more jealous loyal
lists of Albany, who saw in the movement a gen
eral uprising of the South, and called an indig-
nation meeting to protest against permitting MIR.
Davis to 60 at large. Mr.. Davis has been in re-
tirement and seclusion for a long time, and
though denied the rights of citizenship by the
United States government, he has the right to
respond to calls made by his friends on such oc-
casions as that which brought him to Montgom-
cry, and our people have the right to extend him
such invitations. The timid portion of the
northern people need not become alarmed. Mr..
Davis is only the ghost of the rebellion, harm
less to perpetrate mischief, and recognizes that
the war ended in 1865, a fact which some persons
seem not yet to have learned. The people OF the
South are in the Union to stay, even if they do
occasionally efervesce on the public appearance
of an old Confederate leader.

Correspondence Of the YorkSille Enquirer.
LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, May 3.-Jane Anderson, color
ed. attempted to commit suicide on last
Tuesday by means of chloroforIm. Prompt
medical assistance resulted in saving her
life. She is a pupil of Rev. Mr.. Loomis'
school. The cause of the suicidal attempt
is not known.
Mr.. J. A. MCCARTHY, of this county, died
on last Tuesday, of pneumonia. His moth
err and aunt died only a few weeks ago of
the same disease. His father was also sick
from the same cause. The family was at
one time in a most distressing condition.
With every member sick their wants were
supplied by kind n~eighbors.
Mr.. John Lee, the last survivor in this
county of the war of 1872, died a few days
ago. He was 81 years of age at the time of
his death.
A splendid rain on last Wednesday night
put an end to the dry spell. 1t was par
ticularly needed by wheat and oats. The
agricultural outlook at present is quite
promising.
Mr.. Robert Gill, of the neighborhood of
Lewis Turnout, had a narrow escape a few
days ago. While blowing, a black cloud
appeared and threatening rain, he decided
to take shelter under a tree close by. When
within a few feet of the tree there was a
vivid flash of lightning and the tree was
SlIuCh. 11Ou lC lCoSllON tlS WV SAc eiS
stroke, he wOnld doubtless have been killed.
Mr.. T. G. Allen, of this county, who is
Is years of age, has killed seventy-five
wild turkeys in the curse of his life. Is
there a reader of the ENQUIRER who can
beat this? While on the interesting sub
ject of hunting, it may be we'll to state the
wonderful exploit of another Chester man.
Mr.. Levi Carter, in twelve shots, killed
two wild turkeys and nine squirrels.
Our delegates to the Farmers Convention
were we'll pleased with the meeting. They
are generally Of the opinion that with
united action on the part of the farmers,
not only their own welfare will be promot-
ed, but also that of the people of the whole
State. The principle grievance of the
farmers is high taxation. They earnestly
believe that the taxes can be reduced with
out injury to any department of the State
government. They advocate a general re-
duction of salaries, and many favor a WHIP
such changes in the educational institutions
as would save considerable money to the
State. Their idea is to elect men to the
Legislature who will carry out their wishes
regardless of the opposition of Charleston
lawyers, and the idea is a splendid one.
Providence Church (colored) in this coun-
ty, was destroyed by fire on last Thurs
day night. The fire was doubtless the
work Of an %incendiary. The editice de-
stroyed was built in a great measure by the
assistance of the whites in the neighbour
hood.
Mrs. Knox, mother of our Scool Commits
er, died on last Saturday.
Mr.. David Moftitt, of our town, is very
low. He cannot live very long.
The late rains have put the farmers in
good spirits in regard their crops. 1t is
earnestly hoped that the seasons will be
such as to keep them in the same mind.

FARMERS, CONVENTION.

We yield q large portion Of our space this
week to the proceedings of the Farmers Con-
vention held in Columbia on last Thurday and
Friday, our condensation being made from the
reports as published in the Charleston Meas and
Courier, and the Columbia Register and includ-
ing all that relates to the proceedings proper.
The Convention was composed of a large
body of influential and representative men,
engaged in agricultural pursuits, and the DELHI
~erations of that body were confined, as nearly
as could be, perhaps, to questions pertaining to
the welfare of the farming interests; but the
difficulty Of stating the grievances of farmers,
real or imaginary, without associating them
with the administration of the State govern
ment and constitutional questions, is apparent
in many of the resolutions offered and adopted
almost without dissension. For instance the
proposition to call a Constitutional Convention,
and the demand for a repeal of the lien law are
questions belonging properly to the body pol
tic, and while the farmers may claim that a
Constitutional Convention is necessary to cor
rect some of the alleged evils Of the funda-
mental law, yet the ACCESSIBILITY of calling such
a convention for the purposes assigned may be
wisely doubted.
The total, unqualified and absolute repeal of
the lien law is demanded. Of course this de-
mand is made by typical f~armers-owners of
the s%oil-who, viewing the subject through their
own glasses, see only disaster to farming inter-
ests so long as means is afforded to the poor
man of obtaining credit; but we warn our
agricultural friends that whatever may be their
pretentions or wishes as to the disintegration of
the Democratic party, that so soon as this law
is repealed and the homestead law modified as
demanded by the Convention, that a new party
will take the place of that now controlling
the destinies of the State. We do not wish to
see that time arrive, nor do we believe those who
participated in the Convention desire a carnival
of demagogy such as would inevitably ensue,
and the warning should be raised in time.
The "Tillman Resolutions which are really
the germ Of the proceedings, were evidently
prepared with care and forethought, and while
there Isl them little to condemn, they embody
much which if practically realized would re-
dound to the interest of the agricultural commu-
nifty, and consequently to the general welfare of
the State.

A FEMALE SECRETARY.

If the noble red man only realized his
opportunity now would be the time for him
to deluge the Indian bureau of the interior
department with requests for the varied
articles which the American savage has
been taught are his due from the govern
ment. Through the absence of the COM
missioner and his assistant the Indian Of
fee Is now in charge of a young woman,
one of the higher grade clerks of the de-
partnent, and SO far as has been observed
she is conducting the affairs of the bureau
in satisfactory manner. Doubtless how
ever she would be unable to refuse the
petitions of the nations wards should they
make a requistien upon her for more beef
and tobacco, and with woman's natural
leaning toward the side of the Indians,
would take their part against any agent
who, from closer acquaintance with
them, might be entirely oblivi9us to any
sentimental considerations rega riding them.
1t is perhaps just as we'll that the Indians
are not aware of the advantageous situa-
ton they now occupy, for the kindness of
the tender hearted woman now in charge
IN acceding to their demands would doubt
less inspire them with an arrogant spirit
which the remainder of the army that can
be spared from chasing GERONIMO would
have much trouble in subduing.

THE TWO PICTURES.

There are always different lights in which
picture can be viewed Mr.. BLAINE de-
plores the great industrial depression which
has occurred since the Republican light
went out, and intimates that the Demo-
cratic party is alone responsible for it. In
speech to his Kentucky constituents the
other day Speaker CARLISLE said that an
era of industrial and commercial prosperity
had begun; that there is a general revival
of business; that mills and factories are
again in operation, and that the great
crowds of idle men in cities and
along the lines of railroads have been called
back to their old shops or new ones, and
that there is evident everywhere general
satisfaction and content 1t will be OBJ
served that there is quite difference in the
view of the industrial situation as it is pic
tured by Mr.. BLAINE and by Mr.. CAR
Isle. Mr.. BLAINE sees it from the
standpoint of an office seeker who, in his
anxiety to create an issue against political
adversary. gives unlimited scope to his inn
agination. Mr.. CARLISLE speaks as care
full, conscientious public man, whose posi-
ton as presiding officer of the popular
branch of congress gives him an opport u
nifty to form correct opinions concerning
matters pertaining to public interests Mr..
BLAINE has an axe to grind. Mr. CAR
Isle has not. Therefore the public will
be disposed to place the most confidence in
Mr.. CARLIsLE's statements.

He IS EXCUSED.

Mr.. GILFILLAN's apology for failing to
render his district any service during his
late congressional experience is little after
the fashion of the young lady's excuse for
not dancing at the ball. The music was so
discordant she was afraid she would twist
her foot if she attempted to keep time to it.
The music of the Democratic majority in
the house of Representatives was so dis
cordant to Mr.. GILFILI.AN's sensitive
ears that he did not feel inclined to take
part in the dance. He preferred to let his
district and its interest go to the bowwows
rather than to soil his clean-cut Republi-
can hands by dipping them in the Demo-
cratic blow. He consoles himself with the
reflection that if he didn't do anything,
there were a great many other congressman
in the same fix. This is a phiosoph-
ical view for Mr.. GILFILLAN to
take of 1t. 1t may be an
entirely satisfactory explanation to his
mind, but it does not satisfy the people of
this district. 1t doesn't make any differ
ence what other representatives may do or
may not do, the people OF the Fourth Min
nesota district want representative in
congress who will push their interests
Inasmuch as the next congress is likely to
have a stronger Democratic majority than
the present one, it would be cruelty to a
man of Mr.. GILFILLAN'S sensitive Republi-
canism to af1ict him with another term in
congress, where he would again be COM
PEELED to take back seat and study the
art of doing nothing. The district which
includes the metropolis of the Northwest
wants representative in congress who has
both the will and tie ability to do some
thing and who will not be satisfied unless
he is doing something. Under the circum-
stances, Mr.. GILFILLAN will be excused
from further service.
