festivals were regarded by the Christians
with suspicion, <»r rather terror, for they
savored strongly of idolatry. Tho laurel
garlands hung over the doors were sacred

But let the past sleep—then, ns now,
the mysteries of time and eternity stood
impenetrable and unexplained, whether
dogmatized by faith or mystified by spec
ulation—and we, capable only of enjoy
ing the present as our own, shall not look

shall redouble our efiorts to merit the

hope, therefore, in extending to our read-

The election in Sumter passed off with
out any disturbance. So much for the
closing of barrooms. The number of

fought nobly." Everybody was impress

They left no stone unturned to secure a
vote. They gained tho vantage ground
on Tuesday, and held it during the day
and part of Wednesday, when the Demo
crats rallied and making a flank move

held their position uutil the polls •

Thursday morning the enemy *
thought to be a little ahead, but it was
discovered that their ammunition
was about to give ont. when the Demo
crats made a gallant charge on the enemy
and followed it up during the entire day;
when the battle closed at G r. m.
Democrats held tho ground, and the
tory was theirs. They worked with a
hearty good will and with telling effect
The shackles of business were thrown
aside, and every man did his whole doty

The victory is a glorious one, and
hdnorably achieved. Sumter county has
crowned herself with glory. She sends
greetings to her sister counties in
election of two Democratic members to
the Legislature, and gains a majority
sufficient to secure the election of a Sena

of the deceased, of whom no mention is

aside on the ground of the illegality of
its provisions. Ou behalf of the United
States it is claimed that the General Gov

not only take property given or devised
to it, hut can bring suit to recover in eith*

On behalf of the appellants it is urged
that the General Government has
right to hold real estate by devise, with
out the consent of the Legislature of tho
State in which such real estate is located,
i the United States is a corporation
hose charter is the Constitution, by
which it is not authorized to hold real
estate by devise. It is further claimed
that there is no authority by which a man
can devise his property to the United
States, as no such authority has ever
been conceded by the State Government;
that the State of New York has sovereign
control over its own territory, and with
out tho special authority sometimes con
ferred upon it. the General Government
lias no right to take even a stone; and
that, as no such power has been granted
in the present instance, the General Gov

more than on alien power—Great Brit
