Sunday School Excursion.

The Methodist and Presbyterian
Sunday Schools, with their friends
had very enjoyable excursion last
Friday to Mt. Carmel where they spent
the day, feasting on the prepared dain.
ties, and mingling together in the
bonds of love and unity.
Two hundred and thirty ticll llets were
sold at 35 cents each, which proved
quite profitable to the rail road, the
authorities of which, furnish the
schools with comfortable and COM
modious passage.
At the depot we were met by Messrs.
Riley, Mcdonald, Smith, and others,
who had prepared the grounds sur
rounding the academy, and the Re-
formed Presbyterian church for the oc-
casion.
In care of our friends, we were con-
Quoted to the grounds, where tables
had been erected in the beautiful
grove, and the doors of the Church
and Academy thrown open, where we
could rest and enjoy the day.
Mr.. Mcdonald, superintendent OF
the Methodist Sunday School at Mt.
Carmel, delivered the speech of wei
come, and was responded to by Mr..
J. M. Latimer, superintendent of the
Methodist school at Lowndesville, who
represented both the Methodist and
the Presbyterian schools, and their
friends.
Speaking, singing, promenading
and romping by the children, consti.
tuted the order of the day. All
seemed to enjoy the occasion, and as
far aswe were able to learn, nothing
occurred to mar the enjoyment of any
one.
Mt. Carmel is a thrifty little town
with much promise, and with marked
advantages. Among the many pleas
ant acquaintance formed was that OF
Rev. MIR. Patterson, pastor of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, and also
principal of Mt. Carmel Academy,
who did all he could, with many 9th
ers, to make our visit pleasant.
At five o'clock, in good order, we
left for home, arriving here at six, and
the universal sentiment seemed to be-,
that the day had been spent pleasantly
and proftably.
When our Mt. Carmel friends wish
to take day for a Sunday School pic
mic, and will come hither, we will en-
deavor to do for them as they have
done for us.
GLOW pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity"

Extracts from Christian Neighbor
The Chief 1Iagistraey Of South Caro-
lima.
Columbia ReQistey.

It has been said often, and the trend
of affairs seems to justify it, that the
path to the Governorship of South
Carolina lies only through the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church.
I make bold to say there is nothing
like it in any other State in the Amer
lean Union. Now, no one would
think for moment that there are not
men in the Baptist, Presbyterian,
Methodist and Lutheran churches
fully equal to the office and its honors
who never get them. Perforce these
religious denominations remain quiet
ly in the back ground, whether con-
tentedIy or not remains for the future
to develop.
How, why a church confessedly
weaker in numbers, wealth and in
fiuence than any of the rest should
thus for long years lead the State is
utterly inexplicable, save Oh the
ground of Chesterfield's axiom, 1.-THE
religion of the Church of England is
the only one fit for gentleman"
The gentility, of course, Of the Lord
Chesterfield type, full of intrigue and
other sin.
But not to this, that might excite
the sneer of the infidel, and at which
the discerning only smile. can such ac-
ton on the part Of the State be attrib-
uted. /
It goes far beyond that. In colonial
days provision was made for society to
rest on the aristocratical forms of Brit
ain, and barons' caciques and land
graves were created, happily swept
away by the whirlwind of democracy.
But there fingered for long the infu-
ences of church establishment, as the
early history of Carolina full shows,
and the Protestant Episcopal Church
having fallen heir to this estate, the
old leaven works in the direction indi-
Gated. ...
1t is patent to observation that while
for long years other churches have been
obliged to create their own schools of
learning and to endow aud support
them, the influence Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church has been predomi-
nant in our State College.
The time has come, in the judgment
of many, when the demand is made,
and will continue with increasing
force, that men of religious principle
should be elevated to office, and that
in the chief magistracy their eligibi-
lity should not be confined to but a
single branch of the Church of Christ.
With these views, though occupying
but an humble station in the body pol
itic, I use the right of freeman in
suggesting the name of Giles J. Pat
terson, Esq, of Chester for the office
of Governor of South Carolina at the
next election
I do this without his knowlege, or
even upon consultation with his friends
believing that a man long identified
with a Christian church, ani for long
years a superintendent of a Sunday
school, O man of high moral and re-
ligious character, is entitled to con-
sideration equally with others of no
higher claims. PHILOS.
