The election begins May L -The Washington correspondent of the j TUfrfraiyqu* Dispatch telegraphs under date of j Wednesday evening : "The day closes, to adopt tho commercial parlance, with a farther decline m impeachment stock. The belief ia becom? ing settled among all classes that the Senate . will acquit the Pres dent." -France has thu3 far expended on tho Chas - sepot rifle 320,000,000, Rosaia on the Renting ton rifle ?22,000,000, and Austria .{16,000,000, and Great Britain $13,000,000 on the new Sni - dar rifle. The first cost of tho latter gun Is less than that of the Chessapot, but 1B ultimate? ly dearer on account of the expense o f its cart? ridges. -The "Turf and Field" which ought to be postad on auch mattere, has a letter from Washington, which Says that beta axe being made on impeachment, and "milliona will change hands which ever way it goes." This ia certainly a pretty bier estimate; but at the ' same time we have beard of large suma being staked in individual oases. -Brigham Young ia a model of frankness. He speaks of himself in the most unreserved manner, and the other day, in the course of a harangue to the faithful at Salt Lake City,-he said: "When I speak of the saints I include myself. I profess to be a saint - with the reat of my.brethren and sisters, and my public and privatehfeis the proof whether lam truly a saint or not>" -The Empress Cariotti, of Mexico, now takes daily rides in Brussels, seated in an open ' carriage, driven by the Queen, saluting with ? graceful but Bad smiles the people whose idol she. ia and always has been from her child? hood. The Empresa is looking very pale, and ia dressed in deep mourning. The attention paid to her by the Queen is beyond all praise, and there can be no doubt that her recovery from the mental, prostration brought on by the sad events so well known to every one, is chiefly owing to the energy and devotion of ? her royal sister-in-law. -The fighting Of the Abyssinians does not appear to have been very effective. They are brave enough, but the English, with their arms Ot precision, slaughtered them at four and five hundred yards, while their poor muskets, whose range probably did not exceed two hun? dred yards, did no execution at all upon their antagonists. Thus, while the Abyssinians lost five hundred killed and fifteen hundred wound- I ed, the casualties among the invaders are said I to have been sixteen wounded and none killed. No wonder that the campaign came to a rapid conclusion. The resoluto death of King Theo? dore, however, relieves the catastrophe rf the absurdity which would otherwise have attached toit- < -The Hew York Herald urgently advises Ex-PresidentDavis to forfeit his bail. It says: "We have hitherto warned Mr. Davis of the necessity these fellows would presently be un? der .to kill somebody, and have told him bow admirable a sacrifice he would make, and that he had better give them a wide berth if he can find any plea satisfactory to his conscience. We repeat the warning-if he ts in Montreal, let him remember that the summer is coming, and not travel to hot countries. He has a good enough pretext in the revolutionary course of events, and it would be romantic madness to be nice on points of honor with such custom? ers as Ben Butler. Let Davis consider the point that Butler and Stevens argue with most eagerness against Mr. Johnson. This point ia that to be subject to punishment he need not have committed any act properly known as a crime, bot that a political offence is sufficient. Ju this moca troua doctrine the reign of terror lies thinly hidden.' 'Davis will be the next vic? tim. His conviction and execution will be th?; necessary logical result'of the removal of Mr. Johnson, if the Southern leader should be simple enough- to put himself in the clutches of the Radical fanatics." -A terrible scene was enacted in the San' Francisco Police Court on the 2d instant, when a prisoner stood up in the dock, drew a razor suddenly across his throat, and held it up in view of the court and spectators dripping with blood. ? great stream gushed from his neck, but there he stood gl?rin? about and still hold ing-tbe bloody razor high in his right band. All who saw him seemed for the instant petri? fied with horror, but Judge Pro vines cried out, " Seize that, man I seize him and carry him below." Several officers caught him and took the razor out of his hand. He was instantly taken below into the prison and a surgeon sent for. When taken down, and while 'tho blood was yet pouring in a torrent from bis throat, he stood partly up, staggering and striking at all who came within -his reach, but before the physician arrived be fell over anil expired. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY HORNING, MAY 2, 1868. Tbs City Elections. In about a month elections will be held for Mayor, Aldermen, and other city offi? cers of Charleston, and it is time that de? cided action should be taken for the pur? pose of securing the election of respectable conservative men. Every property-holder, every man who is dependent for support upon any trade or profession, is interested in placing the con? trol of the city in the hands of competent and responsible persons; and, if the issue is squarely made, between the extremists rm one - Side, and men' of moderation .axd intelligence on the other, there is little doubt of a favorable result. The whole matter depends, however, upon three things: 1st.. An energetio and-systematic canvass; 2d. A pledge that the general ticket will be supported by all the wards repre? sented in the nominating committee; 3d. The selection of men who will secure general support. 1. In regard to the canvass there need be no trouble. There are already enough gentlemen in the city, fully awakened to the necessity of organized working at the elections, to form a corps of reliable, pa? tient and cautious canvassers. They would be able to see that every possible Vote was polled, and some of their number could attend at the polling places and challen ge all votes of doubtful legality. ? 2. An unanimous support of the ticket can be secured by each ward appointing, in masa meeting, a committee of fire who should, together, sleet -a nominating com? mittee;-each ward pledging itself to' sus? tain and uphold the nominees of the nomi? nating committee. j 8. In forming ? ticket mere sectionalism must be thrown aside, and it should be the endeavor to propose men who can carry the solid conservative Tote and be rea? sonably unobjectionable' to the moderate Republicans, both white and colored. This is requisite, because the white vote alone will not carry the elections,, and be? cause there are many Republicans so con? vinced of the dangerous intentions of the most radical members of their party as to be willing and anxious to support any movement not directly opposed to their publicly professed political principles. No man should be run as a "Democratic" can? didate, because the name alone would alien? ate important elements of success; indeed, no maa should be nominated who is, or has been of late years, prominently connected with any violent political organization. All that can safely be done is to place before the people men of moderate views and respectable standing, who are opposed to allowing the government of the oity to fall into the possession of those who have no higher motive than personal profit and party capital. The candidates also should be clearly eligible to office, apd this eligibility should be carefully scrutinized. Under the Reconstruction Constitution, all citizens are eligible to hold office who are not disfran? chised by the Constitution of the United States; ?. e., who who have not, as civil, leg? islative or judicial officers, taken an oath to support the -Constitution of the United States and afterwards given voluntary aid to the enemies of the United States or to the late Confederate Government; and this providion agrees with the restrictions con? tained in section six of the first Reconstruc? tion act. Hard work, united action, proper and .eligible candidates. These are the require? ments of the hour, and, if they are com? plied with frankly and fairly, it is hard to see that there is any serious danger of defeat. A Predicament. In his brilliant argument on lost Satur? day in defence of President JOHNSON', Mr. GBOESBECK - presented some new points. He showed to the surprise of the Senate, that the Tenure-of-office bill which the President is charged with having violated in appointing a successor to Mr. STANTON, did actually and plainly limit the tenantcy of that worthy to a period which has long since passed away. The provision of the bill reads as follows : Provided, That the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of . War, the Secretary of the -Navy, and the Sec? retary of the Interior, the Postmaster-Gene? ral and the Attorney-General, shall hold their offices respectively for and during the term of the President by whom they may have been appointed, and ?ne month thereafter, subject to removal by and with the consent of the Senate. This provision assigned the office of Sec? retary of War to Mr. STANTON for a period of a Presidential term, with one month added thereto-that is, for the precise pe? riod of four years and one month from the date of his commission. Now, Mr. STANTON'S commission dates from the first election of President LINCOLN. If, therefore, the act applies to him, it turned him out of office the moment it was passed. If it did not apply to him, then the President is viola? ting no act whatever in dismissing him. The case is "as plain as the nose on a man's face." The World Bhows in a few sentences how completely the argument explodes the cavils and sophistries of the managers of the pros? ecution. It says: "The very language of ike law is BO conclusive that neither BITTIER nor BOCTWELL could discover any^other loop? hole of escape than the quibble that Mr. JOHNSON is serving oat Mr. LrspOLN's term. J?dge CTBTIS,'following Bon?R,. exposes the~fu'tility and emptiness-' of thier quibble; but-Mr. GROESBECK turns upon the mana? gers and confounds their argument by ask? ing, 'which term?' If, according, to the pettifogging quibble, Mr. JOHNSON' is serv? ing out Mr. LINCOLN'S term, he at least is not serving out Mr. LINCOLN'S first term, in which Stanton was appointed. STANTON has no commission bearing date in the second Presidential term, either from LIN? COLN or JOHNSON. If the Tenure-of-office act applies to him, it puts him out of office. If it does not apply to him, President JOHN? SON has not violated it by. the attempt to remove him. If the impeachment were in the interests of justice, -this crushing argument would be the end of it. Bnf it is a political neces? sity, against which no argument avails. The New York Advertiser, a Republican sheet, says significantly : "The Radicals will I get ten months of perturbed, restless, unsatis \ factory power, at the expense, to the Republi? can party, of four, eight, and perhaps twelve years of legitimate, prosperous rule." The conclusion is foregone ! Cotton Prospects After reproducing statistics of various countries to prove that the Cotton States are recovering their supremacy in foreign markets, Commissioner CAPRON, of the Agri? cultural Department, observes : "Not only hos this country regained its superiority in quantity, but in price the advantage is still more marked. In Liverpool, february 27, New Orleans middling commanded9 9-1 Gd.: fair, 10?d.; Surat, middling, fair, 7?d.; fair to good fair, ctyd to 8Jd.; Madras Mid? dling, fair, 7Jd. ; good fair, 7$d. to 8d. This shows a difference of from four to five cents per pound, or about twenty-five per cent., between the gross returns of Indian and American cottons. With this advan? tage, exemption from tax, and a self-sustain? ing system of agriculture in the South, in which cotton shall play only an incidental part, there is no reason why we cannot grow again five millions of bales, and manufadture'it j all, at no very distant day, for (he supply of the markets of the world." mO RENT.
