CHARLESTON’S STATUE. CALHOUN’S MEMORABLE FUNER AL 37 YEARS AGO. the Reinterment During the War When tne Fall of Charleston wa3 Xnx minent—The Movement Which Re sulted in the Monument—A Brief Out line of the Groat Statesman’s Career. CHARLESTON, S. C., April 25.-To-morrow will be a groat day in this city. The prepa rations for tho unveiling of the statue of John C. Calhoun are upon the most exten sive scale. With tho life and public services of Mr. Calhoun the readers of the Morning News are familiar. His funeral took place in Charleston just thirty-seven years ago, and it was tho grandest civic and military pageant that has ever been seen in this city. The remains, which were inclosed in a tne tallio coffin so constructed as to fit the form of the liody, were interred in the cemetery of St. Philip's church iu a brick vault, which was covered with a plain marble slab bearing the simple name Calhoun. There it remained until, when the war was at its height and sectional strife had reached tho bitterest point, the fall of Charleston seemed imminent, and it was feared, unhappily with too good reason, that the bones of the great representative Southerner would be a chosen object of in sult and indignity. To avoid such a possi bility a few gentlemen in Charleston deter mined to remove the body from its tomb by night, and secretly inter it in another spot. One who was present thus describes the scene: I was mysteriously summoned at night from the camp, where we were watching the sea line, ht Ist. Philip s church. At the porch a few men were assembled. We were told that the coffin was already disinterred and was in the church. ] shall never forget the scene as we entered. One candle showed the black coffin placed in the vestibule with two or three men standing near. In profound silence it was lifted and carried down the middle aisle and through the aorth door to the churchyard, the single light borne before it just bringing out the white salient points of the architecture amidst the black shadows, and making the familiar scene as strange a:; the face of the corpse of a friend. But to us who had seen the almost apotheosis of the great statesman in that very temple, noth eloquent words, and rolling music, and the nroud wail of Carolina for her dead son, it seemed as if we heard the sigh of the gods tak ing their departure from the doomed city. THE COFFIN DISINTERRED. Shortly alter the war the coffin wasdisin terred and quietly replaced in the tomb. In 1881) the Legislature appropriated the sum of $3,000 for the erection of the sarcoph agus which now incloses the remains. Tne marble slab which covered the tomb was taken into the vestibule of St. Philip’s church and leaned against the wall. In tne great earthquake of last August it was thrown down and broken in two iust above the inscription. The vestry of the church have recently had it placed against the north wall of the churchyard, near the spot where Mr. Calhoun’s remains w ere in terred during tho war, with an appropriate inscription. JOHN C. WIXHOCW. HTien the last solemn rites had been per formed, aud all the honors tliat affection mid reverence could suggest had been paid to the mortal remains of the great states nian, the thoughts of the people turned to tlie means of preserving his memory in wine Enduring form, so that future genera tions might have constantly before them a n minder of his virtues and of the principles lor which he lived.

Put those who remained did not waver in their purpose. It was found that the assets or the associ ation amounted to about *3.5,000, due to the fact that many of lue securities, which at the close of the war were almost valueless, had increased in value, and also to the in terest accrued. At this time, 1874, tho prop osition was made, aud met with favor in iiiauy quarters, that tho fund in their hands should be used iu the endowment of an edu cational institution for the young men or young women of the State, appropriately dedicated to the memory of Mr. Calhoun. A MONUMENT DECIDED UPON. It seemed to many to be almost a mockery to expend this large sum on a mere orna mental monument when thousauds of the people he loved so well were unablo to give their children even the rudiments of educa tion. But there was a serious difficulty in the way. Very many of the original sub scribers to the fund, among them some of the largest contributors, were dead, many hail removed from the State and were inaccessible, and it would have been assuming a very grave responsi bility for the comparatively small number that could be brought together to divert the fund even to so laudable a purpose. A monument therefore was finally decided u P° n u A general meeting was held on March 18, lkiii, when it was agreed that the general design of the monument should be a bronze statue of Mr. Calhoun upon a pedestal of native granite. fv w 111 -i SARCOPHAGUS IN WHICH THE REMAINS OF CALHOUN ARE INTERRED, ST. PHILIP’S CHURCHYARD. A committee of gentlemen, with Maj. Henry E. Young as chairman, opened a wide correspondence with the view of ob taining an artist to execute the statue and design the base of the monument, and in 1879 they recommended to the Association Mr. Albert E. Harnisch, a young artist, a native of Philadelphia, but residing and carrying on his profession in Rome, Mr. Harnisch came to Charleston and sub mitted several designs, one of which, with some modifications suggested by the asso ciation, was accepted, and a contract was made with Mr. Harnisch for a bronze statue of Calhoun on a pedestal of Carolina gran ite, and four allegorical figures, represent ing, Truth, Justice, the Constitution and History, for the sum of $44,000. CALHOUN’S BIRTHPLACE. The old district of Abbeville, associated with the names of Cheves and McDuffie, Petigru and the Ward laws, and others who have held aud who still hold high rank in the State and the nation, has also the dis tinction of having been the birthplace of him who, at home and abroad, among friends and foes, was recognized as the great Carolinian. John Caldwell Calhoun was born at the “Calhoun settlement,” on Long Cane Creek, Abbeville district, on March 18, 1782. He came of a worthy parentage. His grandfather, James Calhoun, emigrated from Ireland aud settled in Pennsylvania iu 1783, his son Patrick being then 6 years old. Some years later the family removed to Western Virginia, and on the breaking up of the community there, by the result of Braddock’s defeat, Patrick Calhoun, with four families of his friends, came on to South Carolina aud founded the settlement which bore his name. The country was then a wilderness, and in addition to the usual hardships of pioneers the settlers were exposed to constant incursions from the neighboring tribe of Cherokee Indians. In 1770 Patrick Calhoun married Miss Mal tha Caldwell, of Charlotte county, Va., u member of a family distinguished for their services and their sufferings in the war of the revolution. The fourth son of this marriage was given the name of his uncle, Maj. John Caldwell, who laid been murdered by the Tories. Born just as the independence of the colonies was about to bo accomplished, Mr. Calhoun may literally be said to have grown up with the Union, and from his early manhood until his death, at almost tho allotted three score aud ten years, there was no great event in the liistory of the country in which ho did not appear a prominent figure. He had no advantages of early education l>e yond the rudiments taught him by his pa rents or at a country scnool, but ho lived among men who, though unlettered, had the experience of the seven years’ struggle for freedom, aud were vitallv interested in the problems involved in tJie commence ment of the great experiment in govern ment, and to a mind such as his the lessons learned from them wore doubtless of more value than the ordinary routine of school work would have been. lIE JINNINfi HIS EDUCATION. At the age of 13 he was placoil under the charge of the Rev. Dr. Waddell, an accom plished instructor, hut tho death of his father a short time after necessitated his re turn home: there, while doing his part in the duties of the household and the farm, he availed himself of all the means of acquir ing knowledge at his command, and de voted himself so assiduously to the study of the few works on history and nctuphysics he could procure as seriously to impair his health. In his 19th year his elder brother, recognizing his übUitj, proposed that he should receive an education at college. He entered the junior class at Yale Col lege. From that institution he was gradu ated with distinction in 1804. After his graduation Mr. Calhoun studied law at tho law school of Litchfield, Conn., and in the office of Chancellor DcSaussure, in Charleston. On his admission to the bnr lie engaged in the practice of his profession in his native district with immediate suc cess. IIIS PUBLIC CAREKU. Ho was soon after elected to the Legis lature, and served until his election to the House of Representatives of the United Hlntes. lie took his seat in that laxly on Nov. 4, 1811, Congress hav ing been called together by the President's proclamation a little earlier than the usual time of nketiug. In the spring of that year he married his cousin. Miss Florida Calhoun, or Colhouii, as that branch of the family spelled the name, aud through heroe qiiired a considerable estate. His residence at Bath, on tlie S ivauiuih river, about ten year* later, Mrs. Calhoun Innerited; Fort Hill, a beautiful place In Pendleton distriet, is still retained in the family, an<l here lie hastened for ltest mid relaxation in his brief intervals of relief from the labors uud cares of offioe. From tlie time of In-, entrance Into tlie i I oil se of Representatives until his death the story of Mr. t alliotin s lif is written in tlie logos of .Viiu-nmn hu.t,,ry. In the Presidential eanvosaof IHUS he was uomifuiUsl by tho large aud influential Huu> of Peunsylvaiita for the Pruaiduucv, but wiUairew in favor of Oen. Jackson.

Four years later ho was re-elected Vice President under Gee. Jackson. In this administration political opposition between the President and the Vice President was embittered by personal and social differences, through which Mr. Calhoun bore himself with the characteristic dignity raid courage of his nature. Gen. Havne, having been elected Governor of South Carolina, resigned his scat in the Senate, and Mr. Calhoun, giviug up the Vice Presidency—and with that act sacrifi cing forever his prospect of elevation to tho Presidency—took his place ns Senator. South Carolina passed the Ordinance of Nullifica tion aud was at open issue with the govern ment, but the compromise measure, intro duced by Mi-. Clay in February, 1888, and agreed to by Mr. Calhoun, led to an adjust ment of the tariff aud the rescinding of that ordinance. Mr. Calhoun remained in the Senate un til March 4, 1833, when he retired to pri vate life. In the spring of 1844 he was ap pointed Secretary of State by Mr. Tyler, and during his service in that capacity effected the annexation of Texas. Again he sought retirement and repose, but in vain. When the Oregon question threatened a needless and perilous war with Great Britain he responded again to the call of his people, and returned to the Sen ate to spend tne rest of life in their ser vice. HIS DECLINE AND DEATH. During his last term in the Senate a pul monary affliction had made serious inroads on his health, and when in the beginning of the year 1850 this was complicated with dis ease of tho heart it was evident that his days were numbered. On March 4 he appeared in his place with a speech oil the admission of California into the Union committed to writing. He was too feeble to deliver it, and it was read for him by his friend, Mr. Mason, of Vir ginia. Alter that day he entered the Senate chamber but two or three tiinas. On March 13 he exerted himself to make some brief replies to Mr. Webster and Mr. Cass, then fell back into his seat exhausted and was taken to his lodgings, where he expired tranquilly ou Sunday morning, March 31, surrounded by his family and friends. When the nows of Mr. Calhoun’s death reached South Carolina the whole State was thrown into profound gloom. A committee of twenty-five proceeded to Washington, and on April 22 the remains, under the charge of Robert Beale, Sergeant-at-Arms, were received at the east front of the capital and the journey homeward begun. The body, inclosed in an iron case, partially shaped to the form, was then borne by the guard of honor (clad in deep mourning with white silk scarfs across the shoulder) from the boat to the magnificent funeral ear drawn up to receive it. The pail-bearers, composed of twelve ex- Governors and Lieutenant Governors of the State, arranged themselves at the sides of the car, and the procession advanced, pre cediAl by a military escort of the three com panies, the German Fusiliers, Washington Light Infantry and Marion Artillery, under the command of Cant. Manigauit. The various committees and family of the de ceased followed in carriages, the drivers and footmen clad in mourning with hat bauds and scarfs of white crape. In this order the funeral train slowly moved forward to the sound of muffled' drums to the Citadel square, where it was arranged that the committee of the Senate should give up their charge to the Executive of South Carolina. J|r f"' * —.*!> Sr-—; ■—--joi- u TITU MONUMENT TO BE UNVEILED TO-DAY. At the conclusion of the funeral cere monies a procession was formed and pro ceeded from the Citadel square down Boundary (now Calhoun) to King street, through King, Ha.sel and Meeting streets to the Battery, and thence up East Bav to Broad street. Arriving at the City Hall tho body was deposited in a magnificent catafalque, where it remained in state until the next day, under charge of the guard of honor. The next morning at 10 o’clock a civic procession was formed under the direction of tho marshals, and tho body borne on a bier by the guard of honor to St. Philip’s church, where, after the singing of an anthem, the burial service was read by the Rt. Rcw. Dr. Gadsden, Bishop of the dio cese, and an eloquent funeral discourse preached by tho Rev. James W. Miles. The body was then borne to a tomb of ma sonry, lined with cedar, erected in the west em churchyard, in which it was deposited and covered with a massive marble slat), simply inscribed with the name of “Cal houn.” Calhoun.
