C., May 26.-Affairs in this lo? cality, especially those of a poli tic al nature, be? gin to be of interest. The recent Democratic Cor.vention, so-called, which assembled here, hs-s borne fruit. Whether it is of the Dead Sea order or hot, remains to be tested. Upon the Republican platform, to the extent of conceding qualified "suffrage to the colored man, clubs have been organized in many localities ia every one of-the twenty-four districts represented in that convention, and the' wort still .goes on. A-very considerable number of-tho respectable colored men of Co? lumbia have 'likewise formed a Democratic club, and similar organizations exist In other localities.. . The members, know each other by a peculiar sigh and password, and it is design? ed to give etch one on Joining a handsome cer? tificate, stating the fact, and recommending bim to the considera tion of the community. The Executive Democratic Central Commit? tee are working like beavers. Colonel Thomas bas editorial charge of the local paper, and stirs the political'fire incessantly and well. Facts, statistics and opinions are gathered and Liwwarded to Washington to strengthen, if pos? sible, the protest made in person by the oom- ; mittee. during. .their late visit to the capital. lt cannot be said that material benefit hes.ac? crued to ourselves as the result of this visit, but the gentlemen composing the committee ure satisfied that they have done the public special service in laying our cause before so tugnst a tribunal as Thaddeus Stevens and his reconstruction cabal, and in directing the at? en ti on of the press of the No rib to our us tappy affairs. General Wade Hampton will undoubtedly be elected as one of the delegates to attend the National Democratic Convention, which assem? bles in New York on the 4th of July. I am mable .to mention with certainty the name of my other person. The representation of South karolina Un that. Convection by gentlemen of koo great an eminence-especially a greatness ittained by their hearty identification with our ?use during the war-however much it may satisfy ourselves, will, it te feared, do more h aim than good. ' A distinguished New Yorker, who was in this ri ty but two or three days ago, and who is like? wise & delegate to the National Convention, sxpressed the hope- that those comparatively unknown at the North would be sent thither in preference to th? famous men whom we delight to honor, but who on. that occasion would be some the target of vituperation, and by taking ut active part in the deliberations, actually be some, a thom, in the side of-the Democratic party. There ire many who believe we should refrain from t<eeking any allianee of the sort, ontil the: platform hs* been framed by the North and Westi Local affairs are interesting outside of the sity only aa they indicate the sentiments of the Repnblicane. The Democratic candidate Cor Mayor ?B Colonel L. P. Thomas. The "Vox Populi" have nominated Major John W. Alex? ander, "a bonnie Scotchman," anda most esti? mable citizen. It is believed that, notwith? standing his services for the Confederacy dur? ing the war, a majority of the Republicans will sustain him. In like manner the Republicans irill sustain Major D. B. Miller, the present affieient clerk of the court. The tyranny of [raidie opinion hounds him because he has al? io wed hi s name to be used by "the niggers" as i candidate. Yet Major Miller carried the first company from Columbia into active service, and (sa cripple for life from the wjunda received. His record on the Southern side of the house is as good as that of many of his fellows, while in the Republican side it seems to have been bis misfortune to have acted in such good Saith towards the colored people as to secure iheir respect and support. He is tabooed for LUowing colored Republicans to vote for him, ?hile his enemies axe doing their best to get bqually colored Democrats to vote for them? selves. A number of Richmonds are in the ield for ali the paying offices, and the result s that the Democratic party will probably be rplit into a half dozen fragments, while the Republicans will "go in and win." In many of the other districts the Republicans lave determined to support the present offi? cials with but slight change. The House of Representatives will assemble in Tanney's Hall, the Senate in the basement. The latter has been fitted up for the parp?se, but as compared sith the Club House Hall is a cold and gloomy place. There is a rumor that the General As? sembly will be removed to Charleston. . Dr. Neagle, the Comptroller, Cardoza, the Secretary of State, R. J. E. Jills jn, the Super? intendent of Education, DeLarge, the senator, ind others, officers elect, have gathered here, md are making arrangements to pitch their tents. T. H. Robertson is said to keep "open house,' md is the kindest and "perlitesf man in the whole country to every individual that owns a rote likely to be cast for him as a candidate for ;ne United States Senator. He is as keen as a briar, and has his friends at work all over the 3tate, wining, dining, ?kc., the new members, rjhe general impression here is that Sawyer sill be his worst antagonist, but that if Robert ton is elected, Rutland, of Fairfield, a candi late of about two hundred and fifty pounds tvoirdupois, will in his disappointment trip lim up and roll on him. The contest is a very tctive one. Lieatenant-Colonel Willard ie de? clared to be a candidate for the Superior Court, md MOBOB will undoubtedly be among the sn iremes. The Speaker of the House will prob? ably be F. J. Moses, Jr., the Inspector-Gene? ral. The Senate will, of coursa, be presided over by laeutenant-Governor Lemuel Boozer. There is a suspicion that D. H. Chamberlain, the At? torney-General, will open for litigation some of the many cases of contract based on Confede? rate currency, and so create a financial revolu? tion; but much will depend on the character of tbe surroundings. In short, the devil is to pay, and there is a very large cauldron of pitch hot. The Legislature will not be convened by General Canby until ten days after the signing of the ratification bill by President Johnson, or its passage over his veto by the House. PRESTO. POLITICAL, SUMMARY. THE mUM TIAL CONTEST-STRENGTH OF THE CHICAGO NOMINATIONS-THE DEMOCRATIC CAN? DIDATES-SPECULATIONS-CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE -GENERAL GRANT AND THE POLITICAL CAM? PAIGN-SHE GENERALSHIP OF THE ARMIES. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Sun writes, under date of Sunday night: The Chicago nominations and the platform attached thereto have, during the past forty eight hours, been discussed by the leading representative men assembled in this city, and already laid aside, for tho time being, to can? vass the merits of proposed nominees bf the Democrats and Conservatives. The general verdict as to the Grant and Col? fax nominations is that they are the strongest that could have been selected from among the candidates. As, however, General Grant was the only candidate for President, the judgment dose not amount to much as applied to the head of the ticket; but the verdict is fairly ap? plicable to Mr. Colfax, who has the faculty of cohesion, of making and keeping friends,whilst his mest formidable' competitor, Vf ade, is re? pellent, and succeeds in making some of the most uncompromising enemies. Speculation to-night is rife with regard to the probable nominees of the convention to meet in New York on the 4th of July. The leaders of the Pendleton interest have been here, during the past ten days, taking a view of the situation, and the friends of General Hancock, in considerable force, have been up? on the ground to compare notes and look over the field from a national standpoint. Ardent admirers of Seymour, Hendricks and Adams have also been amongst us, but not in such or? ganized combination. From a thorough interchange of opinions between the gentlemen representing or sup? porting the above-named proposed nomm?es, it is found that there is entire unanimity upo.i one proposition, namely : That in order to se? cure the nomination to the person who may be generally conceded to be the most popular among the entire Conservative masses (Demo? cratic and Republican ), the special interests of each particular candidate, and the preferences for them, shall give way, and all shall cheer? fully unite to secure the most available candi? date. ' One of th e prominent candidates has himself written a letter to a friend in this city, in which he takes this ground, and adds that if it shall be found that in the Convention some other candidate is the preference, even by one vote, he desires that his friends promptly sup? port that preferred man. in this comparison of views another fact is discovered, namely, that Chief Justice Chase would receive the hearty support of all these factions, and is always mentioned os their second choice at least, and among the most in? fluential Conservative men- here there has started up quite a formidable party in favor or the nomination of ; Chase and Seymour, or the latter refusing to permit his name to go before the Convention, then that George English be nominated for the Vice-Presidency. This ticket to-night seems to be the accepted available combination, and beside the various arguments presented in its favor, it is urged that Judge Chase could carry seventy electoral votes from the South ; that he would receive the entire Democratic vote, and would command more conservative. Republicans and disaffected Radi? cals than any other person that could be nomi? nated, There are other candidates named for tho Presidency, but there does not appear to be any united action among their friends. Of this class ?B President Johnson, who bas a great number of supporters who would prefer bim to any other nominee, but they are waiting the end of impeachment before organizing for effective canvass. It is said that General Grant is already show? ing much sensitiveness in regard to the com? ments of the partisan newspapers since his nomination for the Presidency. Other men Sit as pur? and high-toned as General Grant ve been compelled to endure invidious re? marks by the public press before to-day, and now that General Grant has voluntarily con? sented to mix in the muddy pool of politics, he cannot complain if his garments become soil? ed. The fact that he bas determined to take no formal part in the canvass cannot alter bis position as a candidate for the suffrages of the people, and. of course, his merits and claims io the position to which he now aspires will be discussed as freely and unreservedly as those of any other candidate. ; Some of the Norther a Democratic papers have commenced calling on him to resign his position as the commander of the armies, hold? ing that it is manifestly improper for him to retain it in view of the cir cums tances now sur? rounding him. General Grant has, however, determined, in accordance with his own feel? ings and the ad vic? of hie friends,' to do no? thing of the kind. He will follow the example of Gen, Scott, and will not surrender his com? mission until after the November election, nor then if he shall not be the successful candidate for President. As an evidence of the high re? gard entertained for him, bis friends in Con? gress have not only counselled him to this course, but have promised to keep the place of "General" warm for him until airer he has served out bis Presidential term, when he will peacefully step back into his old shoes. This nice little arrangement is predicated upon the supposition that the party HOW in power is to have a perpetual lease on the government. Tgy. STAB CHAMBER INVESTIGATION. The New York Herald, of Saturday, in its Washington corresponde ace, has the follow? ing statement in relation to the Pomeroy dis? closures before Butler's inquisition. Alluding to the letter mentioned in Colonel Cooper's testimony, and which Butler admitted was in his possession, and also to Pomeroy's denial of the authenticity of this letter, the Herald's correspondent says : This evening Pomeroy was asked for an ex? planation, but had none to give beyond the mere derna! of not having written such a letter as Cooper had sworn to. Cooper's charge was very explicit, and receives strong color of sup? port from a document which will very soon be made public, of anterior date to the letter in question, signed with the genuine auto? graph of S. C. Pomeroy, and promising in case a certain office was placed at the dis ?osal of a certain friend of Pomeroy's, 3 at he would support the administration, vote for all nominations, and vote against impeach? ment if it ever came up before the Senate. Either the story must be true that he tried to exchange his opposition to the President for certain executive favors, or that he conspired with Stanton and Butler to draw the President's friends into a trap, in the hope of drawing tho President after them. The denial he makes of never having written the letter is a very safe one, for the reason that Gaylord, to whom he gave it to show to Cooper, never allowed it out of his hands, and, having failed to accomplish its object, was m all likelihood torn up, thus destroying all trace of the transaction. Batter, if he was redly sincere in advancing Radical interests, should never have put such a ques? tion to Cooper as to draw forth the damaging answer it did. Thad. Stevens was very much annoyed, and said this morning that aU their work was undone by this course of examina? tion; that none but a tyro in law would pro? pound such a question to a witness, and no Copperhead could wish for a better answer than what was recorded. GRANT'S LITTLE SPEECH-THE TRUE VERSION. The Washington correspondent of the Bal? timore Gazette says: There is an evident disposition on the part of enme public tourna ists to criticise the speech made b General Grant when serenad? ed oa Friday evening. This is unk nd towards the agent of the Associated Press h re, who revised and remo oiled the speech beiore sending it over the wires, it b-lng the first and only speech which the Radical candidate for the Presidency ha-, ever made, it was due to the co m try that it should ba faithfully re? ported. The speech, as d-livered, was as fol? lows : fc':G*ntlemen, being entirely unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, I not baring cul? tivated that grace, all I can say is that in whatever place you assign me I will endeavor to discharge the duties devolving on me im? partially and to the beat of my ability. [Im? mense cheering". I can only refer you to the record I have left." At the close of these words General Grant returned to the parlor, remarking-"I made a speech, bnt don't know whether they heard it." A comparison will show tho difference between the speech of General Grant as really delivered and the speech which was telegraphed to the press of the country. The immense crowd which heard it was composed of a hundred and fifty or two hundred men and boys. The latter part of Mr. Colfax's speech is pronounced by his own friends here as in wretched taste. Grant says Colfax is the most popular man in America, and Colfax says he had sooner be second on Grant's ticket than be President. . m TTtrpy.AnrrHTvr HUMOUS. Among the rumors last night it was reported that the special friends of. General Grant are d?sirons to have impeachment done with, on the theory that to keep it alive only breeds trouble and division in the Radical camp. This view of the case doea not suit the vain-glori? ous Stevenses, Butlers and WUliamees. Mr. Stevens has concocted several new articles, and so we hear has Mr. Manager Wilhams, and on this new hue they propose to fight it out all the summer. Mr. Butler win not light? ly relinquish the honors of his investi Ration, and will affirm probably that the key to suc? cess in the coming campaign hes not so much in Mr. Boutwell's "hole in the sky" as in the keyhole on earth. But if the friends of Gen. Grant shall determine that prudence requires this troublesome business to be disposed of, they will be able to suppress the ultra impeach? ers in both' Houses of Congtes?, and Messrs. Butler and Stevens will cry ''Never say die" to an unbeheving generation. FEELING AMONO TEE DEM0CBATS. The Democratic party here are enthusiastic. I have not conversed with' a single man he longing to it. since Grant's nomination, who is not confident of victory in November-whoever our candidate may be. The question of expe? diency in the choice is no longer mooted. MOVEMENT TO INDUCE GENERAL GBANT TO HE SIGN. A strong pressure is being brought to bear upon General Grant to induce him to resign his commission, and it is hinted that the move? ment is countenanced at the White House. This pressure is not shared in by the Republi? cans, who desire that Grant shall remain at the head of the army until the last moment, and they advise him to withhold bis resignation until the first week in November next. RADICALS DISSATISFIED WITH THE CHICAGO FLAT? FORM. A good many of the Radicals here are ex? pressing dissatisfaction with the Chicago plat? form, particularly with the plank relating to negro sunrage. They say a great deal more danger to the integrity of the party is to be apprehended from half way trimming measures than a bold announcement of a determination to press universal suffrage to its' legitimate conclusion, and embrace S?rth and South at the same tune. The extreme men say they are sick of a party that has not courage enough to hurl Johnson cul of 'the White House and make a straightforward avowal of the principle of equal rights, which is the very life essence of the party. REPORTED SEIZURE OF THE BRITISH MINISTER'S DISPATCHES. It is said that among the telegraphic dis Ktehee seized by the Board of Impeachment magers were several cable dispatches sent by the British Minister to his government. It is further stated that the announcement that Ben. Butler had taken possession of all private telegrams sent from this city since>Zthe Friday evening preceding the vote on the eleventh article, called to the recollection of Mr. Thorn? ton that included in the number of dispatches so seized might perhaps be certain messages sent by him to the British Government, and, on making inquiry, this was found to be the case. Rumor has it that an incipient imbrog? lio ia plainly discerned by those who have had an opportunity of learning all that has trans? pired in the matter. THE GBAED NATIONAL SHOOTING FESTIVAL. The arrangements for this fest are rapidly be? ing completed. At a meeting of the commit? tees last week reports were made, from which the'following facts appear: The procession which is to take place on the third day of the festival will be the grand? est and most imposing ever witnessed in this city. The Ninety-sixth, Eleventh, Sixth, and Fifth Regiments have signified their intention to participate. There will march in this pr. - cession'nearly every shooting singing, and benevolent society in this and neighboring cities, and the Turners and Veteran Societies will join it : eight music bands and five drum corps have been engaged, besides the bands of the ""HH?- The. procession will parade in seven divisions, of which the second and third are to be of an allegorical character. The second division will illustrate the "history of shooting," from its earliest beginning, to the present day, representing every stage of shoot? ing firearms, from the arrow of the indian to the breechloader ot Bismarck. In this division will march (by representation) the monk, Barthold Schwarz, the inventor of gunpowder. Six American shooters, carrying Sharp's rifle, will conclude this division. The third division will represent the purpose of the festival. Its principle feature will consist of a gorgeous carriage, drawn by six white horses. In this carriage will be seated Columbia, welcoming Germania, and Helvetia, surrounded by their "maids of honor," all dressed in white and adorned with their national colors. The amount to be expended for these two divisions will be very near $8000. Tho prizes for the winners in the great con? tests are mostly given by societies, and are coming in rapidly. They amount already to nearly $4000. ' The buildings necessary for the festival are in course of erection. The large hall, which will seat 6000 persons at dinner, is nearly com? pleted.- New York Commerciai. -General N.B. Forrest has published a let? ter advising his late companions in arms, the "rebB," to actively co-operate with their Dem? ocratic friends in sending delegates to the New York National Convention, to he held on the 4th of July. He concludes as follows: "The only hope of a restoration ot a good gov? ernment in this country is in the success of the National Democracy in the next Presiden? tial campaign. I trust my late comrades will not, from expediency or other motives, absent themselves from a participation in the politi? cal exercises which are to result in the choice of standard-bearers, made with a view to so patriotic and desirable an end. So far as I am personally concerned, I have no desire to take any part in politics, nor to occupy any political Sosition whatever: but I do not wish to see my tate represented by mon whose only claim to public favor is the dexterity with which they took either side of the question in the late war, as interest dictated, and who bank upon it as their only capital for popular support."

Letter from a well known citizen of Ohio. Mr. J. Hm) RE TH, aged 68 years, Mansfield, 0.: MANSFIELD, O., March 21,1868. DR. RAD WAT: Enclosed find one dollar. Send by mall SB many of your Regulating Pflls as you can afford. I wish your Pills and Resolvent I like them very much and recommend them to Others. Our druggists have non?; they say the run ls so great they have sold oat I am free to say, for myself, they are the best medicine I ever found. I wish you would inform me if there is any danger If they are retained In the system fo ra length of time, by ta? king one or m ore-eve ry evening for a length of time, as therefSfW-many good medicines that arc injurious to take for a length of time. * * * * I have for several years been troubled with costive? ness, so that even injections would not procure an evacuation. I was ah the time in more or less pain from the flatulency, with large discharges of wind. At the same time I was afflicted with urinary diffi? culties; at times it almost killed me to pass water, very scanty and in drops, at other times large quan? tities, almost amounting to diabetes. My age ls 68. I tried everything I thought would do good; nothing afforded relief. In short, I procured one box of RAD WAT'S REGULATING TELLS, took six, free evacuations followed-no sickness, no pain. Took two at bed? time, this secured a stool each day; sometimes would take three, at others four, each day-result, regular for several days, without pills. All pam and trouble from wind ceased. Got one bottle of R. R. RESOL? VENT ; urine now all right I am well known, more or less, all over this State, and not unfavorably for truth and veracity. Send pills without delay. (Signed) J. HTLDRETH. ANSWER.-RADWAY'S PILLS are composed ex elusively of vegetable extracta, and are dissolved in the stomach, and the'r properties absorbed through the circulation, acting on the blood, chyle, bile and other fluids of the system, passing off through the excretions, and not like mercury, calomel, corrosive sublimate, antimony and the common drastic sub? stances that form the basis of ordinary pills, accumu* late m the sys tem and be come depo si ted in the bones, Joints, cartlleges and glands of (he system, but they communicate their curative Influence through the blood, chyle, bile, sweat, urine, ic. ; correcting, regu atlng, purifying, cleansing and purging from the body all unhealthy humors, and restoring functional harmony to the secreting vessels and orifices of every gland and organ. In all cases of Dyspepsia. Liver Complaint, Imper? fect Digested Food their influence is wonderful, and no matter how weak or paralyzed the bowels may be, or how irregular or costive, in the aged or others, one dose will ensure a discharge, and one or two en? sure regular stools, at least once a day. All aged gentlemen and Iadiea, who have used them, prefer them to all others, and the young and vigorous find them the most thorough regulator of the liver and bo welp known. In cases where the bowels have been paralyzed by lead, and other minerals, and from arti' sana' diseases, these Pills have secured free passage, where all other means failed. In bilious attacks, in flammation of the bowels, erysipelas, fevers, Ac, that causes ulceration of the lining of the bowels and intestines, they are mild, sure and healing. Every family should keep these Pills. They are the best family physicians in the world, and only 25 centa per box, or $1 20 for six boxes. Sent to any part of the United States by mail. The use of the Sarsaparillian, or Renovating Re? solvent, in your case, showed its importance in uri? nary difficulties. The aged are more or less troubled with these affections; weakness of the digestive or? gans and imperfectly digested food being the cause; thc insufficiency of chyle, or its unhealthy condition, fails to dissolve the substances taken into the stom? ach, so as to pass off through the alimentary canal; it 16 (the food) converted into water and seeks an escape through the kidneys, thus establishing a foreign secretion of these glands, hence the urine becou. es charged with foreign constituents, causing deposits of gravel, brick-dust, lithic acid, albumen, sugar, kc, irritating thc bladder, causing weakness, paralysis, catarrh and pam to the canal of urethra in in its passage out of the system. Hundreds of aged persons suffer from this aa well os others. A few doses of Rad way's Sarsaparillian Resolvent would re? move these diffiulties, and with the aid of the pills secure healthy and perfect digestion. Hundreds of persons suffering from kidney and urinary disturb? ances and diseases, may rest assured of this being the true cause. Now, m such cases, Eur hu, Cubebs, Juniper, Gin, kc, are dangerous, and will prolong the cure and establish worse and new difficulties. Cubebs are irritat'ng and makes the urine acrid, causing pain, Itching, Ac, along its passage. Every well informed medical man knows what I state is a fact Let those who are troubled just try the Sarsa? parillian Resolvent and Radway's PillB, you will find almost immediate relief; it will do for you what it has dono for Mr. Hildreth. This gentleman is a stranger to us, we give his testimony as we received it; or one fact rest assured, one bottle of the Sarsapa? rillinn, or Renovating Resolvent, is worth all the Buchu leaves that were ever gathered by the most enlightened Hottentot, who, perhaps, knows aa much about Buchu as the constitution, whether it be shat terf d, wrecked, or pre- erved pure and entire. 3 he Parara Brava. Sarsaparillian, and other vege? table substances, are gatherfd for Dr. Rodway by persons of intelligence, who are acquainted with the diOcrent varieties of each root, EO as not to make a mistake. We do not trust the gathering ot our roots to a lot of savage Hottentots, beoce the certainty of securing the genuine roots. May 25 Eic C Special Bata.

March 3 OS" AVOID POISON.- -INVALID READER, do you know what nine-tenths of the bitter com? pounds you are solicited by the proprietors to accent as universal panaceas are composed of? Give heed for a moment They are manufactured from un pu? rified alcohol, containing a considerable portion of iusil oil-a poison almost as deadly as prussic acid. The basis of the regular tinctures of the Muteria Medicals the same. Noamountof "herbal extracts" can overcome the bad tendency of this pernicious element. The essence ol sound rye, thoroughly rec? tified, is the only stimulant which can be safely used as a component of a tonic, alterativo and anti-bilious medicine, and HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is the onlymedical preparation in the world in which this article is used cs an ingredient. Hence the ex? traordinary effects of this great specific. It gives strength without producing excitement. No other tonic does this. All thc ordinary Bitters flush the face and affect the brain. HOSTETTER'S BIT 1 EB 3 diffuses an agreeable calm through the nervous sys? tem, promotes digestion aud produces sleep. No other tonic so quickly revives the exhausted physical energies, restores the appetite and removes the gloom and depression which always accompanies weakness of the bodi]v powers. It purges from the s j stem the morbid humors which retard its natural functions, and which bring paleness to thc cheek and suffering to the brow. It banishes those clogs: upon pleasure, restores the system to high health, and necessarily - proves a valuable adjuuet to the digestive organs. A trial is all that is needed to establish it iu the confi? dence of the skept :. G May 23
