Secretary L. Q. C. Lamar the Orator of the
Occasion—The Monument Unveiled.
Cjarleston, S. C., April 26 Calhoun day
broAc bright and beautiful, and at an early hour
great throngs began to gather along the line of
man'll of the grand military and civic proces
sion which preceded the unveiling ceremonies.
Nearly all the chief men of t his Sta te and many
prominent visitors from abroad are here to do
honor to the memory of South Carolina’s dis
tingiished son. The parade formod on South

C. Lamar: ode by Mrs. Margaret J, Preston, to
be read by Rev. W. F. Junkin, D. D.; bene
dictioi by Rev. John O. Wilson.
I Tfii Associated Press furnished an “ab
stract' of Mr. Lamar's remarks on unveiling
the stitue that would occupy from eight to ten
columns in fine type. We give two or three
passages:]
LAMAR’S ORATION.
Oneof the most impressive traits of that life
and character was the attachment between
himself and the" people of South Carolina. His
devotion to their welfare was sleepless, and
they always felt a deep, unfaltering, proud and
affectionate reliance upon his wisdom and lead
ership. This faith in him grew out of the fact
that he was, notwithstanding his imposing posi
tion as a national statesman, a home man; a man
identified in sentiment and sympathy with
his ovn people, who. as neighbors and personal
friends, standing face to face with him, had that
insight into his private life and character which
is seldom, if ever, obtained in the public arena—
the real life of the man, the life of motive and
purpose and feeling.
Mr. Calhoun had a profound faith in the worth
and dignity and destiny of man as the noblest
of all God's creatures on earth, endowed with
those great faculties and capacities which lit
him, through society and free institutions, un
der Divine superintendence, for progress, de
velopment and perfection. Conscious of hi 9
own great powers, he must have been; but ex
alted as he was in position, thought and
purpose, so far was he from feeling that these
advantages lifted him above and apart from the
mass of men, that he regarded them as so
many ties of union and brotherhood with his fel
lowmen, to be consecrated to their welfare and
happiness. Whenever therefore, he returned
from the brilliant scenes of the National capital
to fits heme, instead of coming among A 6 a
Hf&*'as and brotEers, aft
of whom of every degree and class and character,
felt in the heart-warm grasp of his hand a friend
ship that entered with deep and unaffected
sympathy into the feelings, their interests their
wants, their sorrows and their joys.
When not in the actual discharge of his offi
cial duties, he spent in retirement at
his private home .at Hill. occu
pied in agriculture, m which he took i2e deep
est interest. Would that I had the power to
portray a Southern planter's home I The sweet
and noble associations, the pure, refining and
elevating atmosphere of a household presided
over -by a Southern matron: the abode of do
me-Yic joys and duties; the peaceful yet
active life of a large land-owner —occupation
full of interest and high moral responsibil
ities; the alliance between man's intellect and
nature's W\vs of production; the hospitality,
heartfelt. vlVjjie and generous. The South
ern planter was far from being the
self'-Vdulgent, indolent, coarse and overbear
ing I’lrson that he has sometimes been pictur
ed. 'Je was, in general, careful, patient, provi
dent, industrious, forebearing and yet firm and
determined. These were the qualities that un
abled him to take a race of untamed
savages, with habits that could
only inspire disgust, with no arts, no
single tradition of civilization, and out of such a
people to make the finest body of agricultural
and domestic laborers that the world has ever
seen: and, indeed, to elevate them in the scale
o f national existence to such a height as to
cause them to be deemed tit for admission into
the charmed circle of American freedom, and
to be clothed with the rights and duties of
American citizenship.
* * * Fellow citizens: The institution of
slavery! That question has been settled.
Slavery is dead—buried in a grave that never
gives up ijs dead. Why reopen it to-day? Let
it rest. Yet, if I remain silent upon the subjee l
it will be taken as an admission that there is
one part of Mr. Calhoun's life of which it is
prudent for his friends to say nothing to tho
present generation. Dissimulation and evasion
were so foreign to his character that in his own
case no one would disapprove and even disdain
such silence more than ho. i have this
to say: Thht with reference to the constitu
tional status of slavery in the States. Mr. Cal
houn never entertained or expressed a
sentiment that was not entertained and ex
pressed by Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams,
Daniel Webster, and all the eminent statesmen
of his time. That slavery was an institution o{
society in the States, sanctioned and upheld by
the constitution of the United States: that it
was an institution of property, recognized, pro
tected. and enforced, even upon the States
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
the constitution, iticreased the representation
of the Southern States on the floor of Congress
and in the Electoral College was admitted by
every public man in the country who had the
slightest title to position as a statesman.
The only difference between Mr. Calhoun on
the one hand. Webster and Clay and such states
men on the other,was that the measures hostile
to slavery which they sometimes countenanced,
and at other times advocated, he saw and pre
dicted were in conflict with these guarantees in
the constitution, and that their direct tendency
and inevitable 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. Web
ster in debate that the sentiment would grow
and increase until, in spite of the constitution,
emancipation would be consummated, and that
he i Mr. Webster) would himself be compelled
to succumb to it or be swept down by it.
Mr. Lamar then went on to make quotations
from Calhoun's speeches to show that these
predictions of his came true. In the course of
his remarks on this subject Mr. Lamar tated
that if at this very day the North or the Ameri
can Union were to propose to reestablish the
institution the South could not and would not
accept It as a boon.
MEXICAN TRAGEDIES.
Beven Killed at a Wedding, Including the
Bridegroom—An Injured Husband’s Re
venge.
City of Mexico, April 2(3.—The guests
Who assembled to celebrate the marriage
of Benifo Hernandez and Juanita Alvidez,

Natural Gas at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, April 2(s,—For some weeks
a hole was being sunk inside the old malt
house adjoining the C. H. & D. depot in
search of natural gas. At the depth of
310 feet a vein was struck and it is now
emitting nature’s fluid with a pressure of
about twenty pounds to the square inch.
It is impossible to go any further down in
the present experimental well without
blasting, and that would bring down the
building. A deep well will be immediate
ly undertaken on the C. H. & I). property
at a point between the round house, on
Sixth street, and the car shops a few rods
distant. A derrick will be put up to-mor

Haunted by a Ghost.
New Haven, Conn., April 2(s.— Charles
L. Beecher, who committed suicide yes
terday, is believed by many to have been
driven to death by a belief that he was
haunted by the ghost of his wife. The fact
that he took so much pains in preparing
for his death is thought to indicate that his
mind had given way. He first shot his pet
dog and then took aim through the medium
of a hand mirror and put a bullet through
his head. He had previously told tho
neighbors that he was haunted by tho
spirit of his wife, who died about three
months ago.
