Wednesday Morning, March IO. 1869. The Situation..'; ? Tlio Bich mond Dispatch Uiies the follow? ing hopeful view: Nevertheless, the now "situation" is better than '.the JOId. The old continncd the passions and prejudices of the war .by its bittor conflicts. The new, ending the conflict of departments, smooths tho way for tho subsidence of those passions and hatreds, whoso presence oppose an in? superable difficulty in the way of peace. Fortunately; we find in that "hero" of tho war who, according to all precedent, was destined to bo President, and bas been made President, an earnest determination to re? press tho feelings that lead to discord, and in that way to restore harmony to the na? tion. Therefore wo may, while feeling as? sured that the work of reconstruction is to bo prompt, hopo that it will be relieved of some of, its rigors, by thc bettor feeling whioh the absence of contention in Wash? ington may inspire. General Grant has uttered sentiments that aro most favorable to the rapid disappear? ance of tho sectional strife which has con? tinued to tear and wound the country since the war. While bj no means making war upon the party through which he was elevated to the Presidency, ho has inform? ed all mon that ho considers tho country superior to party, and that ho will be go? verned by tho will of tho people in his ad? ministration. In tho first act of his ad? ministration he has plainly indicated his purpose to end the sectional strife as fur as he can by leaving out of his Cabinet the leading partisans who were drilled and dis? ciplined in the war and are incapable of surrendering the prejudices and hates that have been so deeply ingrained in their na? tures. It is a good genoral idea that tho hero of a war is the best man to bring his country out of the demoralization which that war has produced. In General Grant's caso, he bas in some most important respects shown tho country that he is woll fitted for this difficult work. He has requested that all things that can fan tho embers of strife shall bo put away, eveu including the uniforms which tho wearers who came to honor him thought would bo pleasing to his eyes. His inaugural address was free from any expres? sion that could revivo bitter feelings or wound tho sensibilities of tho defeated, aud contained broad national views which, if car? ried out, must restore equality among thc States, and harmony and prospc -ity to the people. Bunding, then, as he does, before tho nation, he must exert a great power in bridging over tho wide sectional gaps which exist, and modifying the rigorous policy ol the Government. Certaiuly to restoro con? cord he must tono down tho party which placed him in power; but it is equally true that it is impossible for him, if he wert disposed to do so, to secure for us all thal wo can usk. People without representation have uevei been heard with tho patience and respect that it is shown to a peoplo who are repre seuted; and never will be. But situated u: we aro, we shall get a hearing, probably tlx best wo could hopo for, and we should not fail to seek it on all matters berionsbj iuvolving the public welfare. Wu are decidedly better oft* than wo wen under Mr. Johnson's administration, during which the departments fought over us witl weapons whose blows fell entiroly upon ni until we were well nigh dead. Let us bi both cheerful and hopeful, aud got read' for the new era. The old act of Congress under which Mr A. T. Stewart is ineligible, provides tha tho Secretary of the Treasury shall not on page in iradi' or coin moree under pain of i hue, removal from office, and perpetual dis qualification from holdiug office, under th Uuited States. The jury in tho case of James Grunt charged with the murder of H. Hives Pol lard, in Richmond, Va., brought in a vei diot of "not guilty," and the prisoner wu discharged. A movement of applause i the court room was checked by the Judgi Thc New York World hints at thc exi: lenee of a huge political disability rinf ramifying within and out of Congress, t which the. purpose is to secure tho passap through Congress of acts relieving any e: rebel of ineligibility; always providing'thi a sum, Raid to bu twenty-five dollars, U pai eiish down for each name. Thc men eu ployed in it ure said to be quite procaine: carpet baggers and purple women, with gloss of gentility nud tho manners < thorough lobbyists about them. Theso la tirare the most efficient, and are alice to receive the moiety of thc money. Tho revolutionists in Cuba have no NORW 20,000 men tinder arms, with ajv^er of -lO.ODO mon?; TH?*ARREST"OF ALDERMAN OLNEY.-It is understood that Alderman Olney will at once bring an notion for falso imprisonment against W. H. Miali aw, tho colored magis? trate by" whom bo wai arrested on Friday night. It is bel ie veil that there in good ground for an notion for conspiracy against tho same person in connection with the same case. - There is a proper doterminntiou on the part of all tho gentlemen concerned in tho mayoralty cinbroglio to hold to tho strictest accountability under thc law any person who may proceed agaiust them in an arbi? trary or malicious manuer. On Saturday morning Alderman Olney gavo bail in the sum of ?3,000, F. W. Mar? shall, Esq., and Z. B. Oakes, Esq., being ibo sureties, to appear on the first Monday in June and answer to a charge of misde? meanor.- Charleston Netcs. RAPACITY OF CROCODILES.-Tho curator of a museum at Agra, India, gives tho fol? lowing list of articles found in the stomach of a crocodile captured near Agra: About a dozen largo bunches, pellets, of hair pro? bably human; sixty-eight rounded pebble stones, averaging in size from nearly three iuches to ono in diameter; ono largo ankle bungin ring of mixed metal; twenty-four fragments of various sizes, of glass armlet rings, called "churies;" five bronze rings; ono silver ncck-chnrm, consisting of a small defaced silver coin, with a metal loop for suspension attached to it; ono gold bead, about one-third ol an inch square; oue largish bead of black stone, veined with white, and thirty small red necklace beads. -o A negro named Roger Leak, in Cheraw last week, deliberately cut off tho ears of his wife, until they hung by a slonder particle of flesh, beat the ends of hor fingers with a stick, then swuug ber up in the stylo of tho United States military-a species of bru? tality never witnessed here until the "grand army of tho Union" introduced it-and flayed her unmercifully. Her cries attracted the attention of a whito man who flow to the rescue, but as bo entered the door, the mur? derer escaped at another, and bas not since been seen. Thc woman, it is thought, will certainly die. -o Faith-Tho soul riding at anchor. JOHN T.

Tako Crosar, Charle? magne, Alexander; mon oall them great be? cause they were successful. They achieved what they aimed at. Grant was successful. Therofore Grant is called great. It is true, men may fail and yet may bo great. Lee, for instance, failed, and yet ho ia called great. lu the case of men the rule, there? fore, does not hold always. But in the case of MEDICINE it is a suro test. No medicine is good unless it produces the effect desired, and, measured by this standard, HEiNrrsH's QUEEN'S DELIGHT is truly a great medicine, because the cures aro chronicled every day, (see certificates.) It is the greatest achieve? ment of science that wo have been called upon to record. The testimonial pages are as bright as they must be flattering to the proprietor. We say try HEINITSH'S QUEEN'S DELIGHT, and no other; avoid imitations and base counterfeits, and, above all, shun the imposter who desires to make you be? lieve any other is as good. M4 -o How often do you hear the complaint from mother and father that their son or daughter is not woll; that they have no ap Eetite; that they feel languid; that their ead aches; that they are growing thin and feeble, and they have no life or energy left; that thoy are low-spirited, and perfectly in? capacitated to participate in any pleasures, or perform any mental or physical duty. And the question is often asked, what shall I do for them? or, what shall I give them? Our an?wer is, let thom try PLANTATION BITTERS moderately three times a day, and our word for it they will recover.
