The ltcv. WilHam E. Boggs. D. D., was born in Ahntedunggar, in India, a British military post, ab»ut 150 miles from Bombay, on MVy 14,183S, bis fath cr having been a missionary tner.-, sent ••ut by the ITegV.ytsrian Church. His fuh.r was compelled tb leave this country when Dr. Boggs was only a few mo ths ©In, owiug to the declining health of his wife, the mother of the subject of this sketch. The liule,fami ly accordingly sailed for the oi l home in South Carolina. In those days it t iok eight months to make the voyage and the infant b -^accomplished the feat ot self-locoinu'i in on s'.jp .board and was a veritable child ot the sea—a youthful mariner. He was brought up in the good oil State of South Caroli na unitf-r the iostering care of his Chris tian and highly educated parents. He received his academic and collegiate training in this Siate and completed his preparations for the Presbyterian min istry at the Columbia Theological Seminary. He had scarcely completed his stu dies here wh. u the civil war btOke out. He was a student of the divinisy iii- Jruc, but be was a man, as be has ever been, and be joined the boys in gray and marched off with the Sixth Rcgt- raei.t (infantry) as a’ u orivate to do battle for his country and his bom*. He re m..ined with the regiment as a privat* for one year and was on many fields of carnage in the operations ol the Con federate Army in the early Virginia en- gagemants. After the expiration of this time he was made Chaplain of that brave regiment and held that rank until the close of the war, and was present at the surrender of Gen. Lee, at Appo mattox Court House. The young sol dier minister was not--d for his personal bravery and courage through all those years of strife and bloodshed, and he was dearly beloved by his comrades in arms. After the close of the was bo re turned to the home of his father ia South Carolina and was soon called to the pas torate of the .Presbyterian Church at Columbia, S. C., which position he held for five years. In 1870 he was united in marriage to Miss M«ri<>n ^2PDd<T, the daughter of a prominent Georgian, who was widely known fob her woman ljr worth and personal ^beauty, and who has ever held and stilfholds an exalted position among all those who know her for her manifold Christian attributes and tlio lovliness of her character. In 1871 Dr. Boggs was called to the pulpit of the Second Presbyterian Church of this city and remained here through three epidemics. In that of 1878 both himself and Mrs. Boggs were stricken with the disease. Dr. Boggs had been a soldier. He had seen battle fitlds strewn with the dead and the dy ing; he had seen the soil dyed red with the life-blood of many a brave spirit; he had heard the whistling of the minrde-ball and the bmsting of the shell, but this was incomparable with the aw ful scenes which he voluntarily faced during there scourges. If he had been a hero upon the field be was thrice hero in the noble, self-sacrificing and godly work bo performed right here in our midst. A full man in every con ceivable sense of the term, he never shirked a duty; a kind heart he had, al ways ready to lend a helping hand; true disciple of bis Lord and Master, he was ever ready to give the consola tion of bis religion to a departing or troubled soul. Both the health of himself and his wife were so badly impaired by what they had passed through, a change of climate was necessary and the family accordingly moved to Atlanta. In 1879 he was offered the pastorate of the leading Presbyterian Church jof that city and was disposed to accept it, hut the fever having again made its ap pearance, he refused to leave Memphis and what he thought to be his post of duty. Again he played the hero’s part of the year before. The Atlanta con gregation, however, refused to give him up, and they awaited his convenience. After the epidemic had ceased he ac cepted the charge, and remained in the Capital of Georgia three years. He was then tendered and accepted the chair of Church History at tbe Colum bia, S. C., Seminary, and held this pro fessorship for three scholastic terms. About this time (1885) the pulpit of the Second Presbyterian Church here was again vacant and he was again call ed to the pastorate. In J one of this year he came here to preach and has occupied that pulpit until today, as pas tor. When Dr. Boggs came here the second time the membership was greatly re duced in numbers and the church was in an unsatisfactory condition. His great energy has been felt, the congrega tion has increased and no other church, in the city is in better condition spiritu ally and financially. The Rev. N. M. Woods, D. D. who is to succeed Dr. Boggs,is at present pastor of the chnrch in Columbia, S. C., over which the latter presided some time ago. He is a man of great ability and of indefatigable energy. He preached here several Sabbaths since, and the congregation were load in their praises of him. To say that he is a man and a pastor worthy to fill the place vacated by Dr. Beggs is the highest compliment The Appeal can pay him. It was a sickening spectacle, and the only relief is foand in the thought that perhaps it has come in time to suggest to the nation that an Administration con ducted by such men will not be wanted by an honest people. The black list en tire is Cameron, Chace, Cullum, Evarts, Ingalls, Junes, Logan, Miller, Plumb, Riddleberger, Sawyer, Sewell, Teller, Van Wyck. To classify in a single sen tence, it is made up of millionaires, ser vants of corporations, Logan men and corruptionists. There was not a vote cast that was actuated by the slightest regard for the honor of the Senate or of puri j y of politics. Each man should be burned in effigy on every cross-road in Ohio.-—Murat ‘Halstead in the Cin cinnati Commercial Gazette, July 24 1886. WashinoTvK, April 1.—It w«s in the first session of the Forty-ninth Con gres6, on the 23d of July, 1886, that the Unit.-d States Senate by a large mtjori- ty decided that there was no reason to suspect that Senator Payne, of Ohio, bad purchased bis electi -n to the Ser ate, or that lie had obtained the election by corrupt meanr. - The vote was taken upon the rej ort made by the Senate, Committee on Privileges and Elect ons. Tile Committee was composed of Pugh, 'aulsbury, Vance and Eus-tip, Demo crats, and T^l er, E a ts, Login, Hoar and Frye, Republicans. Senator Payne took his stiat March 4, 1886, as the suc- c- ssr>r of Senator Pendleton, auuior of the Civil-Service act and now our Min ister to Germany. The Li'gisla ureof Oh'o that year was Democratic and a majority of the D-=ui- ocr&ts were pledged to return Mr. Pen dleton to the Senate. But when the Democratic caucus met, four of. the mem bers—Bak r. Hunt, S hultz and Zsiglev —enough to turn the scale, suddenly turned around and gave the caucus vote io Mr. Payne ins:e>d of to Mr. Peudle- ton^and the charge was afterwards made 'h4 thf se four gentlemen were bought with Mr. Payne’s money. OHIO FORMULATES TUE CASE. The charge was first ma le h.v S. D. Doi avih, a Democrat, and on Jan. 13, 1886, when the Ohio House of Repre sentatives had become Republ can, it adopted a resolution appointing a .-elect c -mmittee to investigate the charge. Aa a result of that investigation the Ohio House of Representatives adapted, a re^olutii n declaring. That ample te-timony was adduced to warrant the belief that the charges hereto ore mile by the Democratic press of Ohio are true, to wit: That the se d of Henry B. Payne in the United S ates Senate was purchased by the CCJT-ipt use of money, and that the hon or of Ohio demands, and this House of Representatives r quests, that the said •i*k of H' nry B. Payne to a seat in the United Statc-8 Senate be rigidly investi gated by said Senate. Tbe Seriate of Ohio adopted a similar resolution, and both were laid before the Senate of the United Slates and re ferred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. Congressman Butter- worth and Sittle, and other Representa tives of the Ohio Legrsla'ure, appeared before the Commit'ee with testimony and arguments, but they did not suc- ct ed in persuading the Committee that anything was wrong. Three reports were submitted to the Senate, and it was the vote on these (July 23* 1886), which so stirred up the wrath of Mr. Halstead. THE SENATORIAL VERDICTS. The first report was signed by Messrs Pugh, Saulsbury, Vance and Eustis—all Democrats. The substance of their con clusion is that the evidence does not warrant the Senate to continue the in vestigation. They find that Mr. Payne has not been charged with having any thing to do personally, or with having any personal knowledge of, or connec tion with, or participation in anything that may have been done or charged that was wrong, criminal, immoral, or reprehensible in his election; that no member of the Committee, no witness, Representative or other person has ex- iressed the opinion or intimated any be- ief or suspicion that Hanry B. Payne is or was connected in the remotest de gree by act or knowledge with any thing that was or may have been wrong, or criminal, or immoral in his election. Messrs Teller, Logan and Evarts sighed a special report which did not go quite so far as the report of the Demo cratic members, but they also were of the opinion that the Senate should not investigate the case further. They say that they do not find that a case has been presented that would affect Mr. fayne with such turpitude as would call for his expulsion from the Senate, nor that testimony is accessible that touches the subject of the personal inculpation of Mr. Payne. On the point as to the validity of Mr. Payne’s election the re port of Messrs Logan, Teller and Evarts holds that the evidence in such a case must show that the fraud alleged to have been committed embraced enough of the voting electors to have changed the result. They express the opinion there was no evidence presented to the United States Senate which purports to prove that fraud, corruption or bribery was employed in Mr. Payne’s election affecting the votes, either in caucus or in the Legislature, whereby the election was carried to effect his, nor is there evidence that any such proof exists. Therefore, the report holds, the Senate would not be warranted under the Con stitution in instituting an investiga tion. the hoab-frye conclusions. The third report, signed by Senators Hoar and Frye, opens with the state ment that “the Senate is the only court which has or, under the Constitution, possibly can have jurisdiction of this question. There can be no trial, inqui ry or adjudication anywhere else to which this inquiry is not totally foreign and immaterial. The courts in Ohio may exercise jurisdiction of the offense of bribery oi,or|by an individual. Rut the question whether the result of an elec tion of». Senator was thereby changed can never be before those courts. Eith er house of the Legislature may inquire as to the personal turpitude of its own members. But the action which may re sult from such investigation must’ be precisely the same, whether othfer per sons were or were not corrupted ar.'d whether the choice of Senator wera or were not affected. “A8 the Senate,” the report goes on to say,' “is the only court that can pro perly try this question, so tht charge is m rde, if not in the only way it can he made, yet certainly in which it can be made with more authority. For the Senate to refuse to listen to this com plaint so made would; it seems tc us. be everywhere taken to be a declaration ibat it is indifferent to the question whether its seats are to be’ in the future the 8ubj«'Ct of bargain and sale or may be presented b> a few mil iunaires as a compliment to a friend. “No more fatal blow can be struck at the Senate, or at the purity and per manence of i epub ican government it self, than the establishment of this precedent.” ■''* The r'port admits that the evidence so far produced is not sufficient to in culpate Senator Payne, but contends 'hat a large and reputable element in Ohio cl >ims it has more evidence to pro luce, and protests that it should be allowed to be presented. It pro. os.s to furnish the following facts: TUB ARRAIGNMENT IN DETAIL. First—That of the Democratic mem bers elected to the Sixty sixth General Assembly of Ohio m.r; than thm- fourths were positively pledged to Mr. Pindieton and Gen. Durbin Ward, and tnora than a majority pledged to Mr. Pendleton. This they offered to prove by Mr. Pendleton himself, by Cob W. A. Taylor and others. Second—That in these pledges the members represented the opinion and desire of their constituents. Third—That Mr. Payne was nowhere spoken of or known as a candidate dur ing the popular election, or until a very short time before the election of Sena tor. Fourth—That just before the Legislative caucus,when the nomination was made, which was one week before the election, large sums of money were placed by Mr. Payne’s son and other near friends of his at the control of the active mana gers of his canvas in Columbus, They, it is alleged, can be shown by the haoks of one or more banks. Fifth—Mr. Payne’s near friends de clared that his election had cost him very large sums. A gentleman, whose name is offered to be given, will testify ti. t David R. Paige (formerly Demo cratic Member of Congress from Ohio) declared to him that he had handled $65,000. Oliver B. Payne stated to the same person that it had cost him $100; 003 to elect his father. Sixth—That the members of the L»g islature who changed from Pendleton to Pa} ne did so after secret and con fidential interviews with the agents who thy disbursement of these moneys, Seventh—That’members of the Leg islature, who so suddenly changed their attitude, can be proved to haVe, at about the time of the chanze, acquired large sums of money, of which they gave no satisfactory account. Eighth—Respectable Obio Democrats affirm that just before the caucus the room of Mr. Payne’s manager, Paige, “was like a banking house,’’ that “the evidence of large sums of money there' was abundant and conclusive;’’ that Paige’s clerk declared in the piesene of gentlemen of. integrity that “he had never seen so much money handled in his life. Ninth—That the public belief that the choice of Senator was procured by the corrupt use of money prevails almost universally in Ohio among persons of both parties, which finds very general expression in the press. The report then details the hearsay evidence as to large sums of money finding their way to members of the Ohio Legislatuie, and while not admit ting this to be valid testimony, says: “The question now is not whether the case is proved. It is only whether it shall be inquired into. That has never yet been done. It cannot be done until the Senate issues its process. No un willing witness has ever yet been com pelled to testify. No process has gone out which could cross State lines. The Senate is now to determine as to the iaw of the present case, and as the pre cedent for all future cases as to the great crime of bribery—a crime which poisons the waters of republican liberty iu the fountain. It will hardly be doubted that cases of the purchase of seats in the Senate will multiply rapidly under the decision proposed by the ma jority of the Committee. The first great precedent to constitute the rule under this branch of law is to he this: cus, and thereby bound and committed the vote in the Legislature, of eighty-two persons, who were a large majority of 8-ich Legislature. “Piovidcd it also appear that the branch of a subsequent Legislature of the same State have, in investrzati ng charges again?t four of thrir members, incidental'}' inquired into charges against other persons so far as they could without c mpelling unwilling wit nesses to answer, without use of process extending beyond their State, and “with out following out many clues which they did not follow, because they were convinced that they would lead only to a point at which further pursuit would become necessary.” “The report closes with a resolution to investigate the title of Henry B Payne to his seat, and to sit during the recess for that purpose. The resolution, however, was lost and so tu© investigation was dropped. UNPRECEDENTED ATTRACTION! Over a Million Distributed. Louisiana btate Lottery Co.

The day is close at hand when every homeless wanderer from the Carolinas to Texas who shouldered a pike at the call of their sovereign stare shall not be obliged to beg charity of strangers. Since the failure of the Texas Confed erate Veterans’ Home committee in their efforts to raise the necessary fund in New York city, the matter lias been freely discussed in every city in the south.

The newspaper did more than this. It declared: We must build a Confederate home in Georgia ! We must build it at once! We must show that Georgia’s heart beats true to the men who suffered in her cause—and that she W'ill take.them- to her heart! And then the editor wrote: The C n iitution Publishing C mpany. - $1,000- And we shall not rest night or day, un til this list is finished, the money raised, the home started and established in the love of our people !

Atlanta, Ga., April 6.—Henry W. ' Grady was found in his office very busy, but took time tosay: “The movement for a Georgia Confed erate Home is certain to be a success. Here are five or six letters t have already received this morning—over $6,000. I hope.to close with more than $10,000 subscribed. I am being overwhelmed letters of sympathy and co-operati6tt. “How came you to start the thing ?’ “I have been thinking of it a long time, but the dragging canvass that is being.made in New York for money for the Confederate soldiers, and the indiffer ence shown to their.appeals in that great and rich city, led me to believe that the time to strike had come, and that iu self- respect we should take care of our old soldiers ourselves, and withdraw all peti tions or begging in all other quarters. We have built great cities in the south, and many have amassed great- fortunes. This counts for notlung to our glory as long as a single Confederate sol dier wanders homeless or helpless in our state. There will be no trouble in push ing the movement through.” “What is your idea of a Home?” “I think we ought to buy about two hundred acres, well located with original forests, and plenty of running water. Then we ought to build a house at a cost of about $15,000 for the headquarters of the Home, and surround this with cot tages. Then, we ought to beautify the grounds. It ought to bo one great gar den with good drives, and walks, and lakes, and flowers. It ought to be the handsomest place in Georgia, because it holds our best heroes, and is our most sacred duty.” “When do you believe it can be start ed?” “Within thirty days.
