Old CrHmes is dead that good old
man
We ne'er shall see him more ;
But has left a Fon who bears
The name that old Grimes bore.
f rte weai-53 a cu.u oi nie latest, cut,
His hr.ir is new and gay,
He can not bear to view distress,
So he turns from it away.
His pants are gaiters fitting snug
O'er patent leather shoes; ,
His hair is by a barber: curled
He smokes cigars and chews.

A chain of, massive gold is borne.
Above his il ashy vest ;
His clothes arc better every day
Than were bid Grimes' best.
In fashion's court he constant walks,
"Where he delight doth shed j
His hands are white and very soft,
But softer is his head.
He's six" feet tall no post more
t straight -
His teeth are pearly white ;
In habits he is sometimes loose,
And sometimes very tight.
His manners are of sweetest grace,
His voice of sveetest tone;
His diamond. pin's the very one
That old Grimes used to own.
,
Hia mustache adorns his face,
His neck'a scarf of blue ; ,
He sometimes froes to church for
change;
And sleeps in Grimes" pew.
He sporCs the fastest icab " in town,
Is always quick to bet ;
He never knows who's President,
But -thinks tf Old Pip's in yet."
He has drank wines of every kind,
And liquors cold and hot ; ; "
Young Grimes, in short, is just the

Of man Old Grimes "was not.

Some Tjeonle in this, world are
continually on the look out for ome
notorious sin. Nothing seems to
give them more delight than to; hear
of some poor, unfortunate creature,
in an eviLhour, and under- strong
temptation, plunging intoheinous
crimes. These persons search for
sin as men searcli for hidden treas
ures. It is a little strange that , this
class of persons. iarely search thernX
selves,; They weigh everybody else
in the scales, but suffer themselves
to go unweighed. They, as a whole,
f ra a 'set of .notoiious sinners, blind
to their own sins, and keen-sighted
to the faults and failures of others.
Their, morality consits in detecting
how far others fail and come short of
doing their duty. They rre a land
of religious detectives, who conceal
their own faults by making public
the -faults of others. Yorkville Ji

of the Republican party of !N"ortii
Carolina, as heretofore enunciated
in its Conventions, are hereby re
atTi rmed, and events have proved
that their practical enforcement
is essential to the welfare of the
country, and to the maintaindnce
I of the rights, interests and liber

hearty and unqualified approval,

5. Tlrat the republican party of

the congress of the United States
the passage of-a general amnesty
bill, and the adoption of all nec

and,pontical,rihta.tQfulLu:lassts.
G. That in a free and represen
tative srovermenL we recognize
the paramount obligation to pro
vide efficiently for the general
education of the people, and we
respectfully recommend anc ask
of the national government, such
aid, by the provision of a public
fund, or the donation of public
land to the purposes of establish
ing schools in thescveral States,
as will secure tofhe masses of
the'peolpe Ofall classes the bene-"
'fits, of a liberal education.
7. That we fully endorse the
acts' of congress,5 passed to secure
equal rights and protection to the
citizens of the United States, in
the several! States ; and we re
spectfu 11 v reco m m en d a con t i n u -iinee
of tlie nresent laws and the
adoption of such further legisla
tion as will more certainly secure
to the citizens, full and practical
enjoyment of all their rights, pri
vileges and liberties,,
8. In the opinion of this con
vention, the democratic majority
of the last legislature, bv consoli-
dating into one act its numerous
propositions to amend the State
constitution, endeavored to force
upon the people a false issue, anth
to coerce them into the adoption
of obnoxious amendments, and
insomuch as all these propositions
must be submitted to the next
1 egi si at u res for ra t i ti ca ti o n , be fo rc
tl'ie same can be referred to- the
people, therefore
Resolved, I. That the amend
ments proposed as a whole do not
meet the approval of the Repub
lican par ty, because their adop
tion would subvert essential prin
ciples of the existing constitution.
2 That Republicans can en
dorse a portion of said amend
ments and the next General As
sembly m'ay adopt such of tnem
as shall secrii best for the general
welfare.
9. That we cordially endorse
-the. administration of Gov. Cahl
well,.and recognize the fact that
oar people may rely upon his
firmhesin upholding their inter
este and defending their rights;
and we heartily thank him tor re
sisting the revolutionary purposes
of those who designed to deprive
the citizen of the protection affor
ded by the State constitution.
10. That forgetful of personal
L preferences we pledge ourselves
to support earnestly and without
resereve, the candiofates presented
by this convention, believing that
in unity aldne is strengtrT, ami
that principles are more inportant
than men to the republicans of
Torth Carolina.
Tle following is . the plan of or
ganization which was adopted :
Resolved, That hereafter the
organization of the republican
partyl of North Carolina shall be

IMPORTANT D CIS ION IN
BANKRUPTCY.
DISTRICjT COURT OF THE U. STATES,
FOR THE WESTERN D1ST. OF S. CAROLINA.
o f t?E wii 1 Bankrupt.
S. M. Hemphill, 1 y
On the 9th of July. 1873, a pe
tition for- adjudication of Bank
ruptcy! was filed by S. M. Hemp
hill. Adjudication followed and
a warrant issuedon the 12th of
July, 1873, returnable before II.
G.. Ewart, Register, etc., Oct. 31st
1873. BeUVeen the issuing of
the warrant and the, return day
of thesame, to-wit: between the
12tn oiJuly, and the 31st of Oct.
1873, the said. S. M. Hemphill
died . j s
On the return day to-wit: the
31st of Oct. 1873, D. C. Vaddell
was appointed Assignee of said
Bankrupts estate. From which
statement ot facts, the following
questions arose pertinent to the
said proceedings and were stated
and agreed to by D. C. Waddell,
Assignee of the Bankruptand
Messrs! Cocke & Reed, Atty's,
who appeared for the Bankrupt,
to-wit: .
1st. Should the Assignee pro
ceed to sell the estate ;and effects
of the said Bankrupt, imd apply
the proceeds to the payment of
debts proven against the -estate ?
or ' '.
2d. Should he allot the exemp
tions to the widow and minor
children of said Bankrupt ?
I agree to the above statement
of facts. D. C. Waddell, .

We concur in the above state
ment ot tacts.

OPINION OF THE REGISTER,
In Re S. M. Hemphill, Bankrupt
It is conceded that the procecd
i n 8 i n this.case do not abate by
the decease ot .Hemphill, liank
rupt
Sec. XH prescribes that if
"the debtor dies after the issuing
of the. warrant . the proceedings
may be continued and concluded
in like maimer asif he had lived.'.
The Word " proceedings " I in
the section have been construed
in re O'Farrell et. al. 2 B. R. 154,
and in re GunikeB.! IX. t 23; to
mean sijch ateps as may be taken
by the assignee, or other parties
in sett in cr the estate. . - It does
not include a discharge, as the
provisions of sec- 29th,' cannot be
complied with - except - 1 y ' the
Bankrupt" .himself. The only.
question- presented in the case
then is, In what manner should
ihe assignee proceed to settle the
estate ? ? ..... - ,
It is urjed by the assignee that
the entire estate of the Bankrupt
has passed into his hands, and
should therefore be regarded as
assets, subject to division among
those creditors whose claims have
been proven. . . )
With fl lis view, I do not con
cur. I am of the opinion that
" exempted property does not
pass to, the Assignee. It. is ex
pressly excepted from the opera
tion of the assignment by sec.
XIV & Form W18. In le Lam
bert, 2 B. R.T38. The Assigiiee
is not therefore entitled to any qf
the exempted property, before
the death of the Bankrupt the ti
tle to such property vests in his
Executor or Adminstrator. In re
Hester, 5 B. R. 285.
If there were assets, ovar and
above the exemptions claimed, it
would be the duty of the Assio-nee.
to distribute said assets, and set
tle the estate. But in this case,
it is not contended that there are
assets above the exemptions claim
ed by the Bankrupt. NO title
has even veatCiUiWth-i-4
nerefore cannot control it in any
manner. The estate vests in the
Executor, or Administrator of
Hemphill, deceased.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted for your Honor's final
opinion, therein:
Respectfully,
II. G. EwaiIt,
Register 7th District.
After due consideration, I con
cu r i 11 the opi n i or. of th e Regi ster.
The relations of the Assignee,
and the Bankrupt to the property
in the schedules filed was fixed at
the time of the fihng of the peti
tion. . Property exempted by tho
Bankrupt law -does hot vest in
the Assignee, and he lias in no
case any control ot the same. The
title to .the exempted property in
this case remained in the Bank
rupt and upon his death vested in.
the person entitled to the same
under the State law, and can not
be, disposed of i ii a. eon rt of Ban k
rnptcy. Let the certificate of ex
empted property be retained by
the Assignee, subject to exemp
tions on the part of creditors, and
when trie report of the Assignee
is confirmed, thm he will allow
the property to be taken posses
sion of by the. parties , entitled as
heirs at laVor next of kin of the
Bankrupt. Robt. P. Dick,
U. S. Dist. Judge.

To the ! Senate and JTouse of

I have t . the honor . herewith to
submit "the report of the Centennial
Commissioners, and to add a word
in the wayof recommendation.
There have now been international
expositions hold by three of the great
xPowcrs of Europe. - It seems fitting
tllat the one hundredth i anniversary
of oui independence should be marfc
ed by an event that wills display to
the.world the growth arid- progress
of a nation derated to freedom and
to the pursuit, of fame, fortune and
honors by the lowest citizen as Veil
as the 1 highest. A failure in 'U1I3 .
enterprise would be deplorable.
Success can be assured by arousing
public opinion to the importance, of
the occasion. - To secure this end, in
my j udgment, , Congressional : legis
lation is necessary to make the Ex
position both national and inter
national The benefits to be derived
fronrasuccessful international ex
po siton are manifold.. It will neces
sarily be accompanied by expenses
beyond the receipts from the Exposi
tion itself, but they will be compen
sated for, many fold, by the com
mingling of people from all sections
of our own country, by bringing
together- the people , of different
nationalities, by bringing into
juxtaposition for ready examination
our own and foreign skill and progress
in' manufactures, agriculture, ; art,
science and civilization. The seleo
tion of the site for, the Exposition

fact that iOO years before the date

True llellgioti.
A life of religion is a life of faith,
and faith is that faculty by which man
sees the' invisible, exactly as some an
imais have the power of seemg in the
dark, rIhat is the diflerence between
the Chris tain and the world. Most
men know nothing beyond what they
see ; their lovely world is all in all to
them its outer beauty, not its hidden
loveliness. Prosperity, adversity,
.sadness, is all the same, they struggle
through it all alone, and when old age
comes,, and the companions of early
life are gone, they feel that they are
soHtary.v In all this deep, strange
world, they never meet, or but for a
moment, the spirit of it all who stands
at their very side. And it is exactly
the opposite of this which makes a
Christian. .? Move where he will, there
is a though t and a presence which he
cannot put aside, ha ishaunted for
ever by the eternal mind." God looks
out upon him from the clear sky, and
through the thick darknessis pre
sent in the rain drop that trickles
throucrh the branches, - and in . th
branches, and in the .tempest that
crashes down the" forest A living
Redeemer stands : beside him, goes
with him, talks with him as a man
with his' friend. , ne emphatic ale
