MAYOR COURTENAY’S REMARKS.
Mayor Courtenay,who presided, made a
brief address, in the course of which he
said:
This is a memorable anniversary day! At this
hour thirty-seven years ago, the most solemn
and imposing public pageant ever seen in
Charleston had emerged from this spacious
square and contiguous streets. It wended its
way through the greatest length-If the city; it
embraced m its crowded ranks all the manhood
of this community, end the thousands who had
nocked in from beyond its boundaries, while
trom window and balcony, and every available
standing place, the fair daughters of our city
and State were sad and silent spectatore of these
public honors, given with one voice, and by a
c °nunon impulse to our illustrious dead.
This thirty seventh anniversary day com
memorates now as then the same devotion to
the memory of the illustrious dead. It is, how
ever. peculiarly touching, ns the day of success
till culmination of the work of the women of
Lnrnlina, in perpetuating the name and fame of
John C Calhoun.

SECRETARY LAMAR’S ORATION.
The address of Secretary Lamar, who
was the orator of the occasion, was an elo
quent tribute to the memory of South Car
olina’s greatest son. The following' are a
lew of the points of the oration:
We are assembled to unveil the statue which
has been erected to commemorate the life and
services of John Caldwell Calhoun. It is an in
teresting fact that this statue is reared, not in
the centre of political power (the capital of the
nation), or in the emporiumt of American mate
rial civilization, but in his own native State,
where he lived all his life and was buried. This
circumstance is In harmony with the life and
character of the man. One of the most impres
sive traits of that life and character was the at
tachment between himself and the people of
South Carolina.
When not in the actual discharge of his of
ficial duties he spent his time in retirement at
his private home at Fort Hill. lie was occupied
in agriculture, in which he took the deepest in
terest. Would that I had the power to portray
a Southern planters home! The sweet and
noble associations, the pure, refining, and ele
vating atmosphere of a household presided over
by a Southern matron; the abode of domestic
joys and duties) the peaceful yet active life of a
large land owner—occupation full of interest
and high moral responsibilities; the alliance be
tween man’s intellect and nature’s laws of pro
duction : the,hospitality, heartfelt, simple and
generous. The Southern planter was far from
being the self-indulgent, indolent, coarse and
overhokring person that he has sometimes been
pictured. He wao, in general, careful, patient,
provident, industrious, forbearing, and yet firm
and determined.
MR. CALHOUN’S POLITICAL PRINCIPLES.
After giving a condensed statement of Mr.
Calhoun's early life and education, the orator
took him up at the time of his entrance into
Congress at the age of 88, on the eve of the war
of 1812. and described his political principles:
He rejected alike, said Mr. Lamar, the dogma
of the sovereignty of monarchies and aristocra
cies on the one hand, and on the other the shal
low fiction of the social contract as the founda
tion of government. He asserted boldly that
society and government both were of Divine
ordiuation; that the Supreme Creator and Ruler
of all had in his infinite wisdom assigned to
man the social and political state as the best
adapted to the development of the moral and
intellectual faculties and capacities
with which he had endowed him. The
fundamental principles of government—he
found in the wants and feelings and tendencies
of man, wrought there by the hand of God,
which, in their development, assumed the ut
tributes and functions of formal governments.
The external forms and organizations designed
to prevent the tendency of government to dis
order and injustice, called constitutions, are the
contrivances of men, who are left to perfect by
their reason aud free will the government that
the Infinite has ordained, just as He created
the material laws of the earth, and left muu to
impress it with his own personality. The right
to prescribe these constitutions and to coerce
society into submission to them is sovereignty.
That power in a nation which holds this su
preme authority in the last resort, from
which there is no appeal to a higher
power, is the sovereign power of that nation.
MR. CALHOUN’B EARLY PROMINENCE.
Mr. Clay has more than once declared that in
no Congress of which he had knowledge has
there been assembled such a galaxy of eminent
and able men as were in the House of Repre
sentatives of the Congress which declared war
against Englaud in 1812 and the one following it.
Mr. Calhoun was elected to that Congress at
the age of 27 years. He had been admitted to
the bar only two years before. Yet this un
known young man, this obscure attorney from
an obscure country village, a stranger to ele
gant accomplishments and graces of scholar
ship. before be had made a speech took his
place at the head of those distinguished
aud brilliant men, as their equal anil their
superior, aud maintained it with increasing
power and ever-widening fame to the end. In
the light of after events the cause of this extra
ordinary oireurustanee could be easily dlscerued.
In the presence of a groat impending crisis, full
of solemn import to men of sense and virtue,
whose extent the most far-sighted cannot fully
measure, and before whose dangers the most
resolute uaturally quail; when the voice of fao
tiou is hushed and rivalries aud animosities
cease; in such a crisis demanding immediate
action, mastery and leadership go of their own
accord to the master spirit, to the man of trans
cendent intellect, bravery of soul, promptness
of derision, energy of action, all strengthened,
sustained and vivified by an ardent and disin
terested patriotism.
DISUNION AND NULLIFICATION.
Mr. Lamar pointed out that Mr. Cal
houn’s speeches breathed the strongest senti
ment of devotion to the Union. In a speech
from which I have quoted, said Mr. Lamar:
He said that, in his opinion, the liberty and the
union of this country were inseparably united;
that, as the destruction of the latter would most
certainly Involve the former, so Its maintenance
will, with equal certainty, preserve it.
In explanation of Mr. Calhoun’s position
on Eolith Carolina’s nullification act Mr.
Lamar quoted from one of Mr. Calhoun’s
speeches as follows:
“Nullification leaves the members of tho asso
ciation or Union in the condition it found them
subject to all its burdens, and entitled to all
"its advantages, comprehending the member
“nullifying as well as the others—its object
"being not to destroy but to preserve, as has
“been stated * * * Secession, on the con
“trary, destroys, as far as the withdrawing
"member is concerned, the association or union.
“* * * Such are clearly the differences !**-
“tween them: differences so marked that, in
“stead of being identical, as supposed, they
“form a contrast in all the uspects in which
“they can lie regarded."
Whatever may be the objections to this doc
trine it must be admitted that it had not in it
one element of disunion. It might have proved
cumbrous and obstructive in the operations of
the government.; it might have impaired its
promptness and vigor and energy of action, and
probably would; but had it been recognized and
acted upon hy the Federal government it would
have ever prevented a resort to secession on the
one hand, or a resort to force on tin* other. But
the right was not recognized; it was denied and
inflexibly opposisl hy the general government,
which assumed to impose its own construction
of the constitution, against that of the States,
by force.
CALHOUN FIGHTING TIIE RATTLE OF HIS STATE
ALONE.
It was while tiie nullification excitement was
at its height that Mr. Calhoun resigned the
office of Vice President and took his scut in the
Senate In the place of Gen. Robert. Y. Hayne,
who had been chosen Governor of tiie State. A
few day:: after he took his seat President Jack
son stun a iuc.s..ago to Congress, transmitting
the ordinance of nuliillcation with his own proc
lamation, and recommending the passage of
measures which would enable him to compel, hy
the use of military force, the obedience and sub
mission of the Suites
It was ii|*m the occasion of this m.estage and
the force bill, which been me a law during that
sawtiou. that the great debate took place be
t ween Mr. Webster and Mr. Calhoun, memora
ble for the ability and eloquence displayed, the
eminent character ol the two great champions
of the hostile theories, and the magnitude of the
questions Involved. Unto the lime that Mr.

not; strong in his own conviction of the justice
of bis cause; self-poised in the counsels of his
own mind, doing nothing rashly, and yet noth
ing timidly or doubtfully: ready to immolate
himself for (he right which ids' State had en
trusted to his defense, this noble, brave man, on
whose brow God had set the seal of truth; whose
eye beamed bright with the devotion that fired
his soul—courage, manliness, sincerity, truth in
every tore and look—greatness in every linea
ment of his countenance—stood alone and pre
vailed. Yes, prevailed! For the controversy,
when closed, was closed by the compromise act
which repealed the law that his State had nul
lified.
MR. CALHOUN AS A CIVIL SERVICE REFORMER.
On Feb. 5, 1885, he made a report on the ex
tent of government patronage which startled
the country by its revelations of the enormous
extent to which the abuses of the system had
grown, and the degenerating influences it was
exercising alike upon the government and the
character of the people. Animated aud acri
monious debates arose in the Senate upon the
facts stated in the report. Iu maintenance of
the positions assumed therein Mr. Calhoun
made a speech which is perhaps as applicable
to the present times as it was to those in which
it was delivered. After showing how alarm
ingly the system has grown he pro
cueued to demonstrate the causes which pro
duced it and gave to it its growth and its dan
gerous influences. At the head of these causes
he placed "the practice so greatly extended, if
not for the first time introduced, of removing
from office persons well qualified and who had
faithfully performed their duty, in order to till
the places with those who were recommended
on the ground that they belonged to the party in
power.” hi speaking of the extent of its growth
he stated that Washington in his eight years of
service had made but nine removals; Madison
but five, Mouroe but ten, and that he, whilst Sec
retary of War for more than seven years, re
moved but two, and that for cause.
He said: ‘‘So long as offices were considered
as public trusts, to he conferred on the honest,
the faithful and capable, for the Common good,
and not for the benefit or gain of the incumbent
or his party; and so long as it was the practice
of the g< ivernmeut to continue iu office those
who faithfully performed their duties, its pa
tronage, in point of fact,was limited to the mere
power of nominating to accidental vacancies or
to newly created offices, and could, of course,
exercise but a moderate influence either over
the body of the community or of the office
holders themselves; and when the practice was
reversed, when offices, instead of being consid
ered as public trusts, to be conferred on the de
serving, were regarded as the spoils of victory,
to be bestowed as rewards for partisan
services without respect to merit;
when it came to • be understood
that all who held office, held by the tenure of
partisan zeal and party service it is easy to see
that the certain, direct and inevitable tendency
of such a state of things is to convert the entire
body of those in office iuto corrupt and supple
instruments of power, and to raise up a host of
hungry, greedy and subservient partisans,ready
for any service, however base anil corrupt.
Were a premium offered for the best means of
extending to the utmost the power of patron
age; to destroy love of country; to encourage
vice and discourage virtue; and, in a word, to
prepare for the subversion of liberty and the
establishment of despotism; no scheme more
perfect could be de^vised; and such must be the
tendency o? the practice, with whatever inten
tion adopted to whatever extent pursued.”
PLEDGES OF PARTIES AND PUBLIC MEN.
Mr. Lamar quoted from one of Mr. Cal
houn's speeches, in reply to Senator Benton,
of Missouri, with reference to the pledges of
public men, as follows:
“I consider it," said Mr. Calhoun, “as an evi
dence of that deep degeneracy which precedes
the downfall of a republic, when those elevated
to power forget the promises on which they
were elevated; the certain effect of which is to
make an impression on the public tniud that all
is juggling and trickery in politics, and to create
an indifference to political struggles highly fa
vorable to the growth of despotic power.”
Continuing, Mr. Lamar said:
I am proud to say, fellow-citizens, that it
has been my good fortune to be associated with
one against whose administration the only
criticism which has been pronounced is his
sacred regard for similar promises, and the un
conquerable iutrepidity with which he stamls by
them.
Mr. Lamar also paid a high compliment
to Senator Butler, of South Carolina, for
the ability, eloquence and firmness with
which he hod sustained these doctrines of
Calhoun, and also to South Carolina for her
recent resolutions on the subject of
civil service reform, mid her support of tho
President’s action on the subject.
SLAVERY.
Fellow-Citizens—The institution of slavery!
That question has been settled. Slavery is dead
—buried iu a grave that never gives up its dead.
Why reopen it to-day? Let it rest. Yet, if I re
main silent upon the subject it will be taken os
an admission that there is one part of Mr. Cal
houn’s life of which it. is prudent for his friends
to say nothing to the present general lon. Dis
simulation and evasion were so foreign to his
character that in his own case no one would
disapprove and even disdain such silence more
than he. I have this to say': That with refer
ence to the constitutional status of
slavery in the States, Mr. Calhoun
never entertained or expressed a senti
ment that was not entertained and expressed
by Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Daniel
Webster, aud all the eminent statesmen of his
time. That slavery was an institution of
society in the States, sanctioned and upheld by
the constitution of the United States; that it
was an institution of property, recognized, pro
tected amt enforced, even upon the Slates where
slavery did not exist, by the fundamental law
of the Union: that it was an institution of
political power which, under the provisions of
tiie constitution, increased the representation of
the Southern States on the floor of Congress
and in the electoral college was admitted by
every public inun iu the country who had tho
slightest, title to position as a statesman.
The only difference between Mr. Calhoun on
the one hand. Webster and Clay and such
statesmen on the other, was that the measures
hostile to slavery which they sometimes counte
nanced, and at other times advocated, he saw
un i predicted where ill conflict with these guar
antees in the constitution, and that their direct
tendency and into liable effect, and, in many
cases, avowed motive, was the destruction of
slavery in the States. And whilst Mr. Webster
and Mr. Clay disclaimed any such motive and
denied any such probable effects, he declared to
Mr. Wetister iu debate that the sentiment would
grow and increase until, in spite of the consti
tution. emancipation would lie consummated,
unit that he (Mr. Webster) would himself lie
compelled to succumb to it or t* swept down
by il.
Mr. Lamar then went on to make quotations
from Calhoun's speeches to sh ja that these
predictions of his came true. JnMie oonrse of
his remarks on this subject Mr. lsouar stated
that if at this very day tiie North or (!:* Ameri
can Union were lo propose to re-establish the
institution the South could not aud would not
accept it as a boon.
A TRUE BON or SOUTH CAROLINA.
Mr. Ixunar closed as follows;
Mr. Calhoun was the true son of South Caro
lina. Ills just fame and gren! name were the
fruits of her social system, and it will be tier
glory when succeeding generations shall learn
and apprecinte the lessons of isilitlcal truth
taught l>.v him anil shall inhale Ms pure spirit of
patriotism, hi exalted conception of duty, and
become inupin’d by tin* honor, fidelity, courage
und purity of life which risited themselves in
the soul of the mim whose statue Mouth < 'arolina
women hale erected in commemoration of tiie
affectionate reverence With which they commend

of mankind.

CLOTURE TO BE APPLIED
THE SPEAKER BOUND TO END THE
DEBATE TO-MORROW.
A Nationalist Enlivens the House by
Compelling W. H. Smith to Explain
the Stigma He Put Upon the League
—The Giadstonians Also Make Him
Face the Music—A Serious Row Nar
rowly Averted.
London, April 36. —When the motion was
made in the House of Commons this even
ing to go into committee on the coercion
bill Mr. Reid, Liberal member for Dum
fries, moved that the House decline to pro
ceed with any measure directed against ten
ants combining for relief until full measure
for their relief from excessive rents was
presented in Parliament.
Shaw Lefevre, Liberal member for Cen
tral Bradford, seconded Mr. Reid’s motion.
Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
said the government must oppose any
amendment. The bill was meant to put
down crime that no country in Europe
would tolerate, and tho government would
not tolerate it twent3 r -four hours after tho
passage of the measure.
THE CLASSIFICATION ASKED FOR.
Mr. Gladstone asked whether Mr. Balfour
would furnish a memorandum showing upon
what principle the police classified crime in
Ireland.
Mr. Balfour said he would furnish a mem
orandum giving the desired information.
Viscount Wolmer, in the course of a
Unionist speech, referred to the charges
against Parnell, and asked why a libel ac
tion had not been opened against the Times.
He said that Mr. Parnell, unless the charges
were proved to be true, could not only get
enormous damages from his calumniators,
hut at the same time could aim a deadly
blow at the Unionist cause. If an action
was not commenced the pebple could not be
blamed for drawing the worst conclusions
against the Paruellites.
Harrington’s rejoinder.
Mr. Harrington deprecated the spirit that
had been imparted to the debate. He had
thought that the word of a man who had
never yet been proved guilty of falsehood
would have been taken anywhere. If it
suited the Conservatives to repeat their
offensive insinuations and continue the same
offensive methods, then their opponents
could hardly be held answerable for their
temper in meeting the charges. [Parnellite
cheers.] Similar insults and calumnies
had been, met in former times in a very
different if.'' 1 , ner from that adopted nowa
days. [Cthfirs.] Mr. Harrington then pro
ceeded to criticise the bill.
MR. SMITH CALLED ON TO EXPLAIN.
The debate in the House of Commons to
night was languid. The speakers repeated
the old arguments and the House was inat
tentive. An interesting incident occurred,
however, resulting from a question put by-
Joseph L. Carew, member for North Kil
dare, Nationalist, vho asked what W. H.
Brnith meant by associating the National
League with the “cowardly assassins who
were tyrannizing over peaceful peasants."
In reply to this inquiry Mr. Smith stated
that the phrase occurred in a letter written
by his soeretaiy. He himself had not seen
it, but he accepted the responsibility for the
language used.
The question was then asked: “What did
Mr. Smith mean by coupling the Glad
stonians with avowed enemies or England?”
Mr. Smith again admitted that this phrase
had been used by his secretary in a letter
which he himself had not seen. He declined
to be explicit as to the meaning of the ex
pression, but referred his questioners to the
columns of United Ireland.
Mr. Smith’s remarks gave rise to consid
erable excitement and disorder and a seri
ous row was imminent, but the Speaker in
terfered and succeeded in restoring pence.
The Liberals are dissatisfied, however, and
will insist upon a formal explanation by Mr.
Smith. The government has decided to ap
ply cloture on Thursday if the opposition
persists iu prolonging this debate.
DILLON’S WARNING.
Mi*ssrs. Mundelia and Dillon criticised the
crimes and land bills. Mr. Dillon said that
the Irish people were crowding the emigrant
shijis us fust as they could be borne away.
If instead of giving substantial relief the
government persisted in offering the deliber
ate and contemptible mockery found in the
land bill, some jioople in despair would seek
refuge in America, while others, courage
ous enough to remain at home, would
reek refuge in some sort of a combination,
if not openly then secretly.
THE 208 AMENDMENTS.
Of 203 amendments to the crimes bill
already noticed the Paruellites have con
tributed 88, tho Giadstonians 61), the Con
servatives ;iB, and the Unionists 8. None
have yet been made in the names of either
the Giadstonian or Parnellite leadei-s. Proba
bly 100 more amendments will lie added
before Thursday. The Unionists have still
to meet to decide their course of action in
the committee stage. Lord Hartington will
consult Lord Salisbury with regard to the
views of the Unionists. The Ulster Union
ists are dissatisfied with the distribution of
the benefits projiost il by the land bill, which
they regard as unfair, tied they are agitating
for a revision of tiie bill in that respect.
The government propones an alternative
to the bankruptcy clause* of the land bill,
giving county judges power in cases of ne
cessity to make aiiangemente between
tenants and creditors without recourse to
bankruptcy.
GLADSTONE AT A LABOR DINNER.
Mr. Gladstone mt tile Lalxir memtiers of
Parliament at a private dinner this evening.
He was l ulled upon for a speech and rr-
Knonfled briefly. His remarks were mainly
devoted to tiie question of reducing election
ex|M*nes and throwing the charges on rates.
Referring to the relations between the
Liberals und Paruellites, he said Dial he hail
received only one letter from Mr. Parnell
in his life.
Earl M|!inx*r, sjleaking at an anti-coer
cion demonstration iu South London to
night, reiterated libs disbelief that there was
any connection between the Paruellites and
outrages in Ireland. If tho Lils-rals were

Paruellites, how could Lord Camavon

BOTH KNOCKED OUT.
Two Prominent Officials in Indiana
Nearly Kill Each Other.
St. Loi'lS, April 20. —A speciul from Jef
ferson City, Mo., says that ex-Supreme
Judge John W. Henry and Stata Auditor
Walker had an altercation on the street be
tween it and 10 o’clock this morning in
which Judge Henry was shot once in the
rigid anm and again in the breast, and
Walker was severely cut in the head by a
blow from Judge Henry’s cane. Both men
are now in charge of physicians.
The affair grew out of the late investiga
tion of Auditor Walker by the legislative
committee. Mr. Walker accused .Judge
i Henry of talking about him with a view to
injuring him, and took strong exception to
the Judge’s testimony before the com
mittee. Judge Henry replied that
he had told nothing hut the truth, where
upon Mr. Walker, in very profane and em
phatic language; called him a liar. Judge
Henry then struck Mr. Walker over the
head wit h his cane, and Mr. Walker whipped
out a pistol and fired at him. The halt en
tered the palm of the Judge’s left hand,
passed up nis arm just under the skin to
near the elbow, where it came out,
crossed his breast and lodged in the breast
bone. The wound is severe and may be a
dangerous one. Mr. Walker got a heavy
blow on the left temple, cutting a long gash,
and he is now suffering from nervous pros
tration, palpitation of the heart and numb
ness of his leftside, but the doctors say ho
will bo all right in a few days. Both are
old men and Judge Henry is quite feeble.

jumped from the upper stories and received
injuries probably fatal. Sophie Boles anil
Fred Schultz were found after the lire was
extinguished suffocated in their beds in the
fourth story. Six out of the seven rescued
were members of the Willis family. One
outsider was badly hurt in endeavoring to
break the fall of one of the men who fell

EVICTIONS IN DAKOTA.
The Settlers Allowed Three Days in
Which to Depart.
Pierre, Dak., April 26.—The eviction of
settlers from the Crow reservation has com
menced at Big Bend, and a number have al
ready lieeu moved. The settlers have been
given throe days’ notice to go, and if still on
the ground at the expiration of that time
the military will take charge. A poor widow,
named Ryan, who had her all invested, was
ordered off, but having no means the sol
diere loaded her furniture into a wagon,
placed the old lady on top nnd carted her to
the nearest station. The soldiers will re
main throe weeks on the Crow Creek reser
vation and the government will fence in the
larger part of the land. Indignation runs
high, and efforts are being made to sup
press the cruel treatment marked out.

MANY TOWNS REPRESENTED. M
This evening delegations have
from all the leading towns in Florida,
' Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, mt* M
bama und Georgia, as well as repp iMte
lives of large interests from Cincinnati
other cities at a distance. They are in
sion to night for t he purpose off
their grievances, so as to save the
tlie commission. The lumber interest is
of the strongest represented, while the iron
men will make a vigorous effort to iiave tha
order made permanent, suspending the
fourth section.
Among the railroad members here are
Col. John B. Peck, General Manager of the
Mouth Carolina railway; Gen. E. P. Alex
ander, of the Central; IT. M. Smith and M.
-Stahlman, of the i/niisville and Nashville)
Maj. Green, of the (teorgia railroad; Mr.
Thotnas, of the Nashville and Chattanooga
railway, and Alix'rt Fink, receiver of the
East Tennessee, Virginia und Georgia rail
road.
GEN. ALEXANDER'S VIEWS.
Gen. E. I’. Alexander said to a report**
to-night: “My impression is that the rail
way representatives have no grievances to
lay before the Commissioners at this time.
They had an opportunity to present their
ease fully ut the meeting of the < ommissiou
in Washington. They aid so in so able a
manner that the commission a<-ceded to their
demands by sus|*-iidiiig the operation of tbo
obnoxious section four of tiie act. All that
the railways can now reasonably
require is thut the temi*>rry suspension to
unule permanent. This lam disposed to be
lieve will be done. There are many railway
men here, but so fares I am informed they
do not projstse making any organized move
ujKin the commission. Indeed the Commis
sioners have plainly said: ‘We do not
deal re to hear from the railways now for
we have given them a hearing. We want
to give the business men and people an
auiuettco.’ This means that the people,
merchants, mill men, etc.; will have the
first claim upon the commission.
