The President's message has thc appearance of having beeu a very dis agreeable work, to be performed with as little labor as possible. For in stance, in speaking of Indian affairs. thaf, have occupied the attention of the country so largely, he simply refers to the report and recommendations of the Secretary of the Interior, Zach Chan dier, as his own. This reminds us (1 a minister of our acquaintance who i: extremely lazy. His friends say he is too lazy- to say his prayers, that ht keeps a copy of the Lord's Prayer on .his bedpost, and when he gets ready to retire at night he points to this, saying, "Lord, those. are my senti men-ts." He makes no allusion to affairs iu the South except to call the attention of Congress to some unfounded reports from Radical postmasters and mail carriers, that they are molested in their duties on account of politics. Re-:csLs- the-atteation_of Congress to the necessity uf .throwing greater safeguards over the method of choos ing the President and declariug the eleetion. He favors compulsory education. and the disfranchisement of all who .annot read and write after a limited time.. .He says, "I again invite your atten tio.n to the necessity of legislation con ceng the marriages of American * citizens contracted abroad, and con cering the status of American women who may marry foreigners and of chil dren -born of American parents in a ?oreign country." The Princess of the White House married a Mr. Sar toriq, an Englishman, two years ago. "That's what's the matter with Han nah." He says, "The army has been en tirely employed during the year in sbddante.ertain wild bands of the Sionx indians, and in preserving the pea^ee of the South duringr the elee tion.'" He might .have added. And in overthrowing civil government in South Carolina and Louisiana. In the Post Office department the c~ess of expenditures over receipts -i $6,078,267. 43. He refers again to his pet scheme of- aseezing San Domingo to the United S&ate, making a strong thrust at "one political party" that strougiv opposed his previo.us recommendations on this subject, and claiming that if his- views had been carried "ut '-the -eountry would now be in a more pros .perous condition, both politically and finaacially." T'ge message begins by saying, "it zwas my fortune or misfortune (it was certainly the misfortune of the coun try-Er>.) to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training," and ends with the comforfing reflection that it is not pro bable that public affairs will ever again receive attention from him further than as a citizen of the Republic. The Oregon Electoral Vote. It has been reported that Oregon gave one electoral vote for Tilden. The matter stands this way :three1 Republican electors were choset. in Oregon, but one was disqualified by reason of holding office under the United States government. The Gov ernor refused thlerefore to comission himi, and commissioned one Dewrneratic and the other two Republican electors. These two Republicans refused to meet with the Democrat; they filled1 the vacancy and the three (two commis sioned, the other not) cast their votes for Hayes. The Democrat met, ap pointed two Republicans to fill the vacancies, and he cast his vote for Tilden, they voting for Hayes. lit makes only another complication for Con.gress to unravel. The Presidential Muddle. The electoral votes of Florida, Louisiana and South C'arolina were east by two sets of elecrs-by the Democratie for Tilden and the Re pub-. hican for Bayes. The matter stands thus: The Democratic elec.tors, or the mnajority of them, in these States were elected, but were counted out by Re turning B.ards and Canvassing Boards; th Republian electors were not I The Legibdature. Tuesday, Pec. 5.-Radical House atcd the defeated Radical candidates com1 Aikea. Democrntic House sat !n Carolina Hall. Senate met witb he Radical House and canvassed the VOtes for Governor ; they threw out he votes of Edgefield and Laurens, td declared Chamberlain elected by a u1ajority of 3.145. Wednesday, Dec. 6.-Nothing done $ Radical House. In the Democratic House, S. S. Bridges was sworn in. 1aking 63 members with certificates frow State Canvassing Board. In :he Senate a bill was introduced to I repeal the Lien Law ; also bill to pro hibit State officers from serVing on Boards or public committees. . Thursday, Dec. 7.-The Radical House and the Radical part of the Senate inaugurated Chamberlain as Governor. The Democratic House admitted the Edgefield and Laurens Representatives to seats, making 71 members in all. Friday, Dec. 8.-In the Radical House Thomas introduced a resolution that a committee be appointed to in quire whether the Judges of the Su preme Court have not laid themselves liable to impeachment, also to inquire whether any member of said Court has- accepted a disqualifying office while Justice of said Court. (The latter part of the resolution was evi dently aimed at Chief Justice Moses, who was appointed Law Professor of the S. C. University by the last liegisla ture.) In the Democratic House and the Senate nothing of importance was diane. Saturday. Dec. 9.-In the Demo cratic House a communication was read from Gen. Ruger stating that if that body should attempt to enter the State House. and those in charge of the doors should ask his assistance to prevent their entering his assistance would " given Nothing important in the iealouse or 'he Senate Monday, Dec. 11.-In the Demo cratic House a letter was read from the Congressional Committee saying it had no authority to recognize the validity of either of the acting legisla tive bodies-its object is to investi gate the recent eleetion in South Car olina and the action of the Canvassing Board. The Mackey House declared the t.ffice of Chief Justice of the Su preme Court vacant, and appointed next Friday to fill the vacancy. The bogus Legislature will probably eeet Corbin to-day (Tuesddy) to the United States Senate. Ex-Senator Carl Schurz and other prominent men of Missouri have sent a letter to the President of the United States Senate in retuard to the count ing of the lectoral votes. They say that the clause in the constitution rela tive to canvassing these votes is liable to two constructions, and that any attempt of the House and Senate to canvass theum jointly will lead to strife They therefore suggest that the whole matter be referred to the United States SupremueCourt. But it is not likely that the House will listen to any such sug gestion. It would simiply amount to giving up their rights and chances for President ; for the judges of this court are the appointees of Grant. and their appointments were confirmed by the Radical Senate. It would require no prophet to predict what they would do. A geutlemuan who was in Columbia Wedoesday estimated the crowd of visitors present at not less than 6,000. Their behavior was perfectly peaceable and com meudable. Even Chamber lain's own organ could not say any thing against their conduct ; but bad to be content with ridiculing the suffer irg of the Democrats from cold. (The hotels and private ho.uses were full before the crowd went down. So they had to "put up" in the large Club Halls and such plac2-s, without fire, and did suffer from cold considerably.) But the Democrats can suffer cold without complainiug. They can suffer o be defeated honestly, and never n-urm ur ; they can suffer anything 1 hat is fair, but they cannot suffer to 'i be cheated out of an election they have fairly won. The State Fair at Columbia lasti week was not a success This was not r the fault of the mannagers no rof the people, but was caused by the deep nd absorbing interest taken in politi al matters. Owing to the excited ondition of the public and the large rowd in the city, very few ladies a tu.ned out What is a Fair without the fair ?" E t Mr. Wmn. Lucas, of Fairfield, wasn hrown from his horse in the race on Wednesday and died from his injuries P Frid:ay.t ri The supreme court. a This Court decided Wednesday ~ h:t Wal!ace is the lawful Speaker of ~ Si he House of Representatives, and i, *1 declared that Mackey is amenable to, he Criminal Courts for usurping the 2, 'unctions of that office. ______P Thtrsnrswowr i ou n a ~.&4-.... ...G ....- 2.- IE1.- . h It has been rumored ex4enely that Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, would resign, on account of the action taken by Grant and his Cabinet toward South Carolina and Louisiana. Fish is the only member of Grant's origi nal Cabinet-the only one that Grant has stuck to and that has stuck to Grant. He resign ? Perhaps he may; it is very probable. His course is nearly run anyway ; he can hold his high place only a few months longer, and he may be contemplating a strike for a little cheap popularity. If he do resign it will not be. btcause he is not in accord with Grantism, but be cause he knows the country is not. "There is a tide in the affairs of men that, taken at the flood, leads on to for tune." Mr. Fish could uot do a more politic thing than to resign. The Navy. The report of Robeson, Secretary of the Navy, shows that there are belong ing to the Navy 146 vessels, carrying in all, exclusive of howitzers and gat liun guns, 1,142 guns. He represents the Navy to be far more powerful for warlike purposes than ever before in time of peace. The estimate for the general waintenance af the Navy for the next year is $21.554,608 and $775,500 for the more thorough equip. ment of our ironclads. One of the strongest evidences of the peaceable and law-abiditig spirit of the Democrat! is, that over 6,000 of them were in Columbia the night that the Radical members of the Sea ate and the Radical bogus House de clared Chamberlain elected, and yet there was no disturbance and no dis position to violence of any kind. The Republican Presideltial Elect. rs met in the Stdte House Wednes day and east their votes for Hayes and Wheeler. The Democratic Electors likewise met, and cast their votes for Tilden and Hndrieks.

Montgomery Blair, who wa,4 Post Master General during Lincoln's administration, pronounces Hampton's camipaif n and his subsequent conduct the grandest piece of state.smanship this country has ever produced.

Why do people so frequently say to Dr. "ierce, "I suppose your Golden Medical Dis overy cures every thing?'' Because it has >eeo the pr-'ctice of knavish chariatans to nauf.cture wnrthless nostrums and attempt o dupe the ignorant and credulous by re ommending tnem to cure every form of isease. To such an extent has this been >raciccd 'hat it is no wonder that many 2aye ae.quired prejudices 'gainst all adver ised cemedies. But Dr. Pierce does no! ad ertse his standard preparations as "cure is," does not claim that they will perform niracles, but simply publishes the fact that be have been developed as -pecifies for rtin fortrs of disease for which he recomn nends them. atter having tested their effiea y in many hundred cases with the most ratifying success. It is a fact known to eve y wel-informed physicisn that many simgle emedies possesn several different properties. uininez for instance, has a tonic quality, hich suggests its use in cases of debility, n anti periodic, by which it is ef!cacious in gue; and a febrifuge properuy, which i-en er. it efficacious in casca of fever. T be re at of its administration will also vary with he qoantiry given and the circums-ances nder wt,ich it is employed. So, likewise, beGolden Medical Discovery possesses botht ectoral anid alterative, or blood-cleansing roperties of the highest order. By reason f ese two prominent properties it cures vo classes of di-eases. First, those of the apiratry organs, as throat, bronchisl, and ~ng ffections. chronic coughs and asthma, nd second, di'seases~ of the bloo,d and gland lr systemn, in w hich affections all skillful hysicins employ alterative-, as in caises of lotches, eruptions, ulcers, swellings, tumors, sceses, and in torpor of the liver or "bil usnes." While its use is, by its combi aion of properties, suggested in ca'es of u!mona-v consumption. yet von ne'ed nnt ike it expecting it will cnre you if your lgs aire half concumed, nor because it is acomiended as a blood medicine would its roprieor advise you ro t'ke it expecring it > ure cancer.
