Kitchener and the war secretary, Mr..

Mr. Brodericlx has had long interview

partial enforcement of martial law in
South Africa, wanting it proclaimed al

desires more serious penalties for re

. HIGHLY GIFTED SOUTH CAR
GILMAN.

One of the great and gifted south
rons of the long ago was Hon. William
Lowndes, born in South Carolina.
served In the congress for ten years
and died when he had hardly passed his
fortieth year. He was also a member
in early life of the state legislature.
He was eminent for high mental pow
ers and for his wisdom and distinction
of manner We have seen a story more
than once Of the impression he made
on the Duke OF Argyll. of that time. 1t
is repeated and we suppose is true. 1t
is sale that while he was in London
he happened to be left alone in his
hotel. which was frequented by none
but men of rank and distinction, with
william Roscoe. author of the Life of
Leo X" who was much his senior.
The two fell into conversation, and the
elder gentleman. leaving the after
a time, met the Duke of Argyll in the
street. L have been spending a most
agreeable hour he said to the duke
with a young American gentleman,
who is the tallest. wisest n best bred
OoA AAAo- l. wv
have been Mr.. Lowndes. of South Car
DINA replied The duke. He is such
a man. 1 know him, and I know no
other like him. Return and make his
acquaintance
He enjoyed a high distinction in the
estimation of leading southern con-
temporaries. The illustrious Henry
Clay was among those and he is SAID
to have held that Mr.. Lowndes twas the
wisest man he had ever known in con-
gress." This is surely high commenda-
ton from such a leader of men. His
portrait is to be found in the Corcoran
Gallery in Washington. A life of him
has just been published by Boston house
of Hougton. MifHin & Co.. 1t will be
read with interest no doubt by men Of
the south who would know more of the
great men of the past who gave fame
and high service to the south.

While these men are democrats and
have supported the democratic ticket
all he while, yet they did not think the
Impeachment proceedings proper. They
realize hat there were errors in the
ruling of the judges, but it was not so
gross as to deserve impeachment.
Wilson is to have anothe undertak-

The result of the impeachment trial
is still a leading topic of conversation.
Public sympathy was with the judges,
and while they were acquitted, the trial
will probably cause judges to be more
careful in the future. AS one lawyer
remarked: Il don't expect to see an
other mandamus issued against the
state treasury in a long time Some
are commencing and some condemning
the twelve democrats who voted mot
guilty" AS h democrats impeaehei
the Judges and they were acquitted by
democratic votes. it is not likely that
much political capital can be made out
of it. Judge Furches and Judge Doug
las have received numerous congratu-
altionS from their friends on the YER
dict. One republican leader say he
regards the verdict as the most COM
plete v~indication of the judges that is
possible. Some democrats declare there
is no hope for the constitutional amend
ment in h hands of the Judges. who
are mad at the whole democratic party,
while others claim that the judges are
grateful to the democrats who defend
ed them, and voted for their acquittal,
and will not carry their feelings into
their decisions, but will be inclined 10
o more favorabiy upon the amend
men
Major w. H. Martin, the defaulting
clerk of the state treasury, will be put
on trial next Monday. It is thought
likely that he will enter the plea of
guilty, though his counsel have not
decided this.
