He is, in fact, the Court, and the ^ fourteen other commissioners are only party makeweights to balance each other. Judge Bradley is the modern Warwick. He will make the President just as effectually as if he were tho sole arbitrator of the controversy. Whether Hayes or Tilden is to fill the Executive offico af" ter the 4th of March depends solely and absoi. lulely upon his decision. The arguments of oqpnsel are addressed to him.

Stevens says : "The Globe Flowor Cough Syrup has proven n most valuable remedy to mo." Gov. James M. Smith, of Georgia, says :? "I shall always use it with perfect confidence, and recommend it to the public as a remedy which will afford that satisfaction experienced by me and mine. It cxcells everything for coughs, colds and obstinate lung affections." Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga., says "He finds the Globe Flower Cough Syrup a most excellent remedy." Such endorsement by our great and good men deserves the attention of the afflicted. Those Buffering from ceugh, colds and lung affections should use the Globe Flower Cough Syrup. It will positively cure consumption. For salo by GIBBS & CO. Nov. 10, 1870 45 if Sheriff's Sale.

IIami'ton. The one issued by the "Hampton Portrait Company," of Charleston, S. C., is engraved in line by Marshall, and will be of imposing appearance, and life-size. There is also a print out representing the Governor, We suggest that our people wait and see both pictures, before choosing which they will have. Marshall's famous engravings nre attracting unusual attention. The superb large liue engraving of Washington, from Stuart's celebrated oil portrait in the lioston Athcmeum?a plate j vulued at ten thousand dollnrs?when originally brought out about ten years ago, at once placed j Mr. Marshall in the very front rauk of engra- ! vers, ancient or modern, meeting, both in Europe and Atrerictty the most extravagant encomiums of artists, critics, and men of judgment. It was even selected for exhibition at the French Academy of&tesign, an honor accorded to none but the veryhighesl works of art. It is, moreoverthe best) indeed the only satiafactorT.^DortratL, of Wapljinglgn that exists, and is the acknowledged standard "household engraving" of him. The late Edward Everett said of it: "The magnificent engraving of Stuart's head of Washington. It is truly a superb work." lJancrot't, the historian, writes : "I have been for some years a collector of tho many different engra j vings of the portraits of Washington. This is beyond comparison the best of them all?the only one thnt is perfectly satisfactory." Mr. George S. Ilillurd, the well known art critic, snys: "Were it the head of some unknown person, a lover of art would be glad to have a copy of the engraving for its rare intrinsic merits, and every American should be ready to mnke cuinc sucrinco in oiuer ways in order 10 possess I so satisfactory a representation of Washingbou," I Marshall s R. E. Lee, just out, is a wonderful ' work, and in a few days his "Got. Hampton" will go to the people of South Carolina and the country, n noble tribute to a great leader, who conquers by his high character and by peaceful means, not by the sword.?News and Courier. And from the Columbia Register the accompanying letter.Tun Hampton Portrait.?We publish for the information of the people of the State the following extract from a letter received from Charleston, addressed to Mr. C. 1*. Pelham : "Seme misapprehension exists as to the proprietorship in the Hampton Portrait Company. Permit me to say that a majority of the investment is held here. As one of the proprietors, 1 am attending to its affairs until other and permanent airangcments are concluded. I originated the project of a portrait of Governor Hampton in a high stylo of art, thinking it a worthy manner in which to recognize his Excellency's public services to the peoplo of this State during the post six months. Those scrvi' ces entitle him to be presented to his country1 men everywhere in a style equal to that in which Washington and Lee and other reresentative gentlemen of the couutry are shown.? Time was required for this great work, that care and skill should make it perfect. Its publica' Hon has been anticipated by another issue, of the merits of which the public can' judge. In selecting an artist the gentlemen associated with me have given preference to Mr. Marshall.? Gustave Dore, the great artist of France declares him to be 'the veritable master of art in Amerioa/ If we do not realise all our expeotatlonn in a pecuniary point of view by reason of a different publication, we must accept that mriune?iiie penalty or attempting to do the but possible in art for our best man, we shall hopo, nevertheless, to possess an ample reward in the PBonucrio.v of a miani> ani>imposing Portrait, which will command an nppreciativo circulation if not so large as might have teen under more propitious circumstances. In a very few days the public can judge for themselves, and can very well afford to wait a little, and make their choice with Marshall's bpkndid woiik, ukpobe i then. WM. A. COURTEXAY."

Hampton's Portrait "Wade Hampton, Govkrnoii or South Carolina," is the subject of an exquisite nearly life-size engraving, just published (mid now ready) by our enterprising friends, Walker, Evans & Cogswell, Charleston. S. C. We congratulate these gentlemen on the grand success they havo made of so noble a subject. As a work of art it stands unrivalled, but still its chief merit lays in its being a life-like portrait. It is the first product, 011 so large a scale, of a new and secret process based on photography, having the advantage of great truthfulness. As (lie photograph has superseded the oil-paintiug, because ot its exact reproduction of the subject, so this process is bound to lako the place of Btccl engraving, or any method which depends upon artistic conception and execution for result?we mean for the production of portraits. What the people want in a portrait is truth ?tlicy do not wish the artist's conception of a man, but the face aud features of the man as he is?and by no means can this grand result be better attained than by (lie means of photography, and this new process based thereon, llut while these great adv in.ages arc Secured, it admits of the embellishments of art, and a portrait is produced possessing nil the truthfulness of n photogru] h, with the artistic effect of the steel engraving. The publishers have been extremely fortunate in their selection of the mode by which they give to all admirers of the great statesman the noble, generous, manly features, which speak so plainly the gicat mind, elevated feeling, and generous heart of Wade Hampton. Those who worked for the grand cnusc, "Hampton and Homellule," who have paid taxes to the government of thoir choice, can now place this picture nt their firesides, as they have placed its subject in their hearts. It must become one of the "renates" of South Carolina. Those who sympathized with the gallant little State in (lie struggle against such tremendous odds, will be pleased to havo this portrait in their homes?a glorious memento of a peaceful, noble effort of a liberty-loving people to redeem themselves from oppression and misrule. It will bo sold by subscription only, at ?2 per copy. Agents wnnted to canvass eve^y city and tgyui , f!t#>he land.

Which may be don* with one-fourth tho usual expense, by using our PATENT SLATE PAINT (FiftcMn Years Established.) MIXED HEADY FOU USE. Fire-Proof, Water-Proof, Durable, Economical and Ornamental. A roof may be covered with it very cheap shingle, and by application of this slate be uiade to Inst from 20 to 2o years. Old roofs can bo patched aud coated, looking much better and lasting longer than new shingles without the slate, for One-third the Cost of Be-C.kingling. The expense of slating new shingles is only about the cost of simply laying tliem. The paint is rtHK-ritoor against sparks or flying embers, its may be easily tested by any one. IT STOPS EVERY LEAK, and for tin or iron has no equal, as it expands l?y hunt, contracts by culd, nud NKVr.u ckacks nor scales. Koof* covered with Tar Mionthing Felt can be made water tight at a small expense, nnd preserved for many years. This Flute l'aint is EXTREMELY CHEAP. Two gallons will cover a hundred square feet of shingle roof, while on tin, iron, felt, matched boards, or any smooth surface, from two quarts to otic gallon are required to 100 square feet of surface, nnd although the paint has a heavy body it is easily npplied with a brush. No Tar is usod in this Composition, it neither cracks in Winter, nor runs in Summer. On decayed shingles, it fills up the holes nnd pores, and gives a new substantial roof that will last for years. Cciilrii on waiiprd shingles it brings to their places, nnd keeps them there.? It fills up all holes in felt roofs, stops the leaks ?and nit hough a slow dryer, rain docs not affect it a few hours after applying.
