'the net; templo of God at Emory, hy historic and lime-honored Mt. Willing, is complete, and on .Sunday last was erivon to til? Almighty Jehovah. A worthy gift, beautiful and unincumbercd, with j wr.?:< whose whiteness illustrates chris- i thin purity and whose lovely blue-is a symbol cf heaven.

Ute cress, Clifton and Traywick. For on this ?day they gathered thc fruits ot years of patient toil and earnest prayer. Their re ; ward had come, and ihey had seen 'he salvation of God. And great was the joc und irympai hy of all believing souls, for th^y saw Chris: in glory, and th?ir bre:h ren in honor. And great was the strain that onenni the holy service.-;, "When i oar. read my title clear." Seven hundred exultant voices bore it to heaven, end laid i: in praise and hope .-.t the feet of God. Ar?d great were the words--full ot" burning faith and loving tenderness-that armor bearer Clifton spoke after uttering Paul's Jo.ioiogy in Ephesian? : "Unto Him be glory in the Church by Christ .Jesus throughout all ages, world without end ! Amen.*' Indeed so great was the occasion of tho | ?;ciijcaiiou of Emory Chapel-in it?, spirit ; ual and ^motional aspects-and so io- j tensely did we enjoy the day ir. these re-1 gards-that we find it distasteful and dif ficult to come down lo commonplace ex ternal matters and merely practical word-; The new Church building i-? long, large and capacious, with lofty ceiling, high and numerous windows, two aisles, coram'' dious pews, a tasteful chancel and a beau tiful alcove. The side walls are pure white, while the ceiling above is the color of heaven-really and truly thc moat lovely blue we have eve: peen oui of God's -ky.

SENATOR UAMP?0?1???T? CANDI DATE FOR GOVERNOR XOR AW OTHER OFFICE. He Does ?,'ut Like the Kegistral't-r Law Xor the General stock Law. Recently ?here has been some talk of the resignation of Senator Hamj . ton and bis becoming a candidate jot Governor of the State. Ile has inst written a patriotic '?*':er to the Xew; and Courier in which he sets th? matter at rest. Ile is tired of pub i ic life and will retire as soon a? ht can properly do so. He will undei no circumstances be a candidate ft i Governor. He says our success is as sured if we "adopt and carry out in good faith" the principles of 1876, ile also speaks of his opposition tc the Registration law and the general stock law, but holds that the remedy is not indep endent ino or a restera* :ion of Radical rule. Ile says: "I regret therefore beyond ex. pression to see dissatisfaction m any quarter, because ol opposition to some of the measures adopted ai the last, session of iii- Legislature. Without reflecting in the slightest degree upon either the wisdom or the patriotism of that body, i think that their sofi?n in regard to the Registration law and the .Stork law was unfortuuate, bait my opposition to tliepe laws is no reason why I should desert the only party that has given honest and good government to the State since the war. My con- j ception of Democracy is that the ma j or? ty should rule, and those who op pose the measures mentioned will have the oppoituuifcy of ascertaining afc iiie nen election on which side ! m-dori ry stands. Should it he the [.popular will ?hat these laws should I be repealed or modified, the Legisla i lu? csu take aeiiou in that direction." I f OW^E?lEM?N 1 AT LKK8VILM2, Prot*. Busby in the Midst ol* His Pupils and Constituents. ? The closing exercises of the Lees ville English and Classical Institute, nude.* the management of Rev. E. L. Busby, A. M., on Thursday, the 22d inst., gave universal satisfaction and delight. The occasion called out the border elans on either side; and Lees ville surged with humanity in ita most amiable phase, and with hospi tality in its highest, development. The commencement exercise.-? were held in the Lutheran Church, and were ?.pened with an earnest prayer by the Rev. Mr. lustier, of the Meth odist Church. Prof. Rusby isapreach er of the Lutheran Church. The mid-dvy picnic entertainment, was held in the spacious and unincum bered upper room of the Academy. Leesville has kept pace, of late years, in mare'?al progress, with any town i? South Carolina, and we have every reason to hope that with rapidly in creasing material facilities, Prof. Bu.* by will soon build up an institution ot learning second to none in our State. As ?hr as he himself is con cerned, he is fully abl*, o.s regards natural gifrs, education, zeal, indus try, or conscientious duty. Wi i h sin cere pleasure we bear testimony of ? the growing interests in the cause of education throughout our land, and believe that we discern indications, : as al Leesville, of not only a higher i moral i raining for women, but nf that [ ; also wmea is ot equal importance-;| ; the higher moral training of man. -\ crowded chapel gave assurance ; ?ot the lively interest felt in the in i si! ru te by the community, and their 'respectful attention manifested their? real enjoyment ot che occasion, i Below, we give the names .'.: the ; members of the Senior Department, ; with ?heir speeches and .-.-says: j Prank Hendrix-Tho Mule, i George Watkins-Country of Wash ? ingion. j S.

I was considerably amused, while the discussion was going on, to note the general inattention of the "Fathers." I s.w our Senator H. and Senator Frye, of Maine, quietly chatting over fishing matters. "Maree Wade" had a piece of red tape illustrating to Mr. Frye how the cork and h-: ok should be attached to the b'ne, and how he muBt jerk to catch the peculiar fish in question. Zeb, as usual, with others, was off in one corner cracking jokes, telling anecdotes, etc. There is one thing that strikes you forcibly while in the Senate, and that ie the enormous size of a large ma jority of the members. Why there are some of them so absolutely gigantic as io be obliged to have chairs made especially to suit them. I have not been ia the House yet, but hear that they are doing little or nothing there. Have not interviewed any of our Repreeentatives either; but in the popular vernacular, "I think they'll get over it."

Malloy, in which the He was given hy the former which was followed by fl knock down from the latter. Cash has since challenged Malloy, but the latter refused to accept it. Both Cash, who sent the challenge, and hif eon, who carried it, have been ar rested. A good deal of excitement" prevails in Cheraw over the affair and serious cons?quences are antici pated. rar?tlTiV- 'iOff!! MHIII-B-ai<?"-ii .III II j Thc Crumb of Comfort for Smalls, The sub-committee ou Elections j has worked itself np to the requisite I height, and decides that Col. Tillman ! waa not elected member of Congress j from the Fifth South Carolina Dis I r-rict and that Robert .Smalls was. i There is not much probability that ! the report will be acted on by the j House of Represents li vas at th? pre . sent session, but we rather hope that jil; will be. The expnision ol' ''ol. j Tillman, wha was elected, foi *he. j benefit of Ex Convict Major-General Smalls, light-colored colored, who was not elected, will help'us in the n^sf canvass ii will make more j Democrats. The Fifth Congressional District of South Carolina consists of Colleton, Beaufort, Barnwell, Edgefield, Aiken j and Hampton, and the official returns j gave Til i man '23.325 votesand Smalls 15,287 votes, a majority of 8,038 for j Tillman. The statement in detail is j as follows: Tillman. Smalls. Colleton, 3,475 2,776 Beaufort, Sol 5,978 Barnwell, 5.422 2.445 j Edgefield, 6.467 1,046 Aiken, 4,9 0 1,467 Hampton, 2,500 1.5751 - , ,. j 23,325 15.2S7 To convert Tillman's majority into a majority for Smalls would puzzle any one who relied on trustworthy evidence and palpable facts, but Smalls had faith in the party. The Republican doctrine is that ev^ry colored man naturally and inevitably votes the Republican ticket, and that those who do not are driven from the polls and are not allowed to vote. There beiDg a colored majority in the Fifth District it follows, accord ing to Repub'iioan logic, that Smalls was elected. Rmalls, therefore, de manded that the whole vote ol Col leton, Barnwell and Edgefield bt thrown o'ir, or. ib.? ground of fraud, j Thi= wac no!, enough, so he pioposed, j besidsr., lo fir;;.re Jown tho D.^mo- ! cradic volo m Hampton and Aiken | so ns io- leave him s small majority. | Tbs testimony in the case disproves j every allegation oi general intimida tion and fraud. Take Edgefield aa j an example. The proof there is that j the Republican leaders mussed Uieir followers ai the Courthouse, armed ! with clubs and bludgeons, with the intent iori, of taking and holding the polls so ris to prevent rh* whites from voting. The town was actually be- j leagu^i'P'l l?y bands ot negro-?: who! camped on the different road* and j fired on citizens who went out to ask j their intentions. More, tba:; two hundred negroes marched up to the polling place on the morning of plen lion, swinging their clubs ?nd en deavoring to seize the polls. 1'J"hey were prevented from doing thJfcvnd invited to go np ?nd vote \??JA They sullenly w: ; I- jflfldWlwH! " where! *rfflBBPiKs in j the charges of violence in Edgefield,knd hy that county the other i reigned counties can be judged. There was a large colored vote for Tillman. Eicept in Beaufort, colored men are found to have voted the Democratic ticket at every precinct. At Aiken 100 colored men are proved to have voted for Tillman, at Meeting j street precinct 200 colored men voted j for Tillman, at Beldoc 60, at Milieu's j 65, and so on through the different j counties. In Barnwell County alone | there were 1,372 colored men in the j Democratic clubs; and there weis 225 in one club at Allendale. This, together with the unpopularity o? Smalls, accounts for Tillman's elec tion. The usual election rows, such as take place everywhere, there werp, no doubt, and it is not to be supposed that the. Democrats failed to nee every proper influence to prevent the colored people from voting for Smalls. Giving to Smalls the benefit of every allegation which has a rolor of proof, thorp is still a handsome majority fer the sitting merubpr. The Stalwarts in Congres- want j additional votes in the House, and they clo not oare a straw whether the men were elected or nor. Proceed ing upon the assumption thai the) are entitled to the whole colored vote on the color line, they put in the Republican contestant:*, as in the Chalmers, Wheeler. Finley and Dib ble oases' in defiance of law and fact. No compromise in possible with such a partv acting in so shameless a man ner. South Carolina is solidified. The whole South, excepting hapless Virginia, is in splendid fighting ?pia. The J'emocracy will repeat in 1882 the victories of 187S and 1880, know ing tlmt in obtaining ?
