WEDNESDAY. July 14.-At half-past ll o'clock, in accordance with the special order, the Hon. Lemuel Boozer, Lieutenant-Govornor elect, was introduced to the presiding officer of the Senate by Mr. Batland, chairman of the Spe? cial Committee, and being introduced to the Senate, addressed the body as follows: Gen?emen of tko Senate-Through you I most respectfully tender to the people of South Carolina mv most sincere thanks for the dis? tinguished honor which they have conferred upon me in electing me to the high office upon which. I am about to enter. I am not insensi . ble, however, that it is a responsible duty im esed, as well as a distinguished honor con Ted. That duty consists mainly in '.he pre? servation of order, in the direction of the busi? ness, and the administration of the rules of the Senate. It shall be my purpose and endeavor, faithful y and impartially to discharge that duty. But, gentlemen, in a deliberative body like this, it is not upon the presiding officer alone that ?this responsibility entirely rests. You, too, must share that responsibility. Your intelligence, your sense of decorum, propriety ard honor, are due to your presiding officer, and upon these I shall rely with unwavering confidence. Senators: I need not remind you that yon have assembled in eventful times, and that this session of the General Assembly will con? stitute an epoch in the legislative history of South Carolina. Your every act will be scanned with the strictest scrutiny, and subjected to the severest criticism. It behooves us aU. therefore, to act with caution, moderation and justice, and at the same time with decision and firmness. Most of you have been the victims' of obloquy and abuse the most unsparing and rei entiese: but, gentlemen, let not any sense of the wrong and injustice which any of you may have suffered swerve you from the path of duty to the State, nor incite you for a moment to acts of-revenge. Rather let all your actions here be directed solely to the welfare and pros? perity of the whole people of South Carolina Gentlemen, I will not longer detain you from the more important business before you. Mr. President, I am now ready to tske the oath of office prescribed by tht- Constitution of South Carolina. The oath of office was then administered by A. G. Mackey, Pr?sident of the Constitutional Convention, to the Lieutenant-Governor, elect, who thereupon took his seat as ex officio Presi? dent of the Senate. On motion by Mr. Whittemore, the Senate took up for consideration the bill to define and perpetuate the homestead, which was on its second reading. J. J. Wright moved to amend the first sec? tion of the bill BO as to make the arbitrators appointa ble one by the debtor, and the other by the creditor, and these two to appoint the third. This proposition was debated by Wright and Rutland in the affirmative, and Whitemore in the negative, but, without coming to a vote, the Senate proceeded to the execution of the special order, which was to elect two senators, one for the unexpired term from 1865 to 1871, and the other for the term from 1867 to 1873. Mr. Thomas J. Robertson received on the first ballot 23 votes; Mr. Perry 5; Mr. Mackey L For the long term, the names of F. A. Saw? yer, A. G. Mackey and Mansfield French were placed in nomination, and the first ballot re? sulted, for Sawyer, 3 ; Mackey, 8; French, 7, and J. B. Campbell, 5, as follows : For Sawyer-Messre. Coghlan.Corbin.Hayes, Jillson, Leslie. Rutland, 8wails, Wright, Wnit temore-9. * For Mackey- Messrs Arnim, Hoyt.Montgom ery, Nash, Owens, Bainey, Boee, Wimbush 8. For French-Messrs. Allen, Cain, Donald? son, Duncan, Hayne, Maxwell, Bandolph-7. For Campbell-Messrs. Buck, Bieman, Fos? ter, Reid, .Rodgers-5. Neither of the candidates having a majority, the Senate proceeded to a second ballot, m which Messrs. Buck, Foster, Reid and Bodgers voted fer Mr. Sawyer, and Cain voted for Mackey, and resulting-Sawyer, 13; Mackey, 9; French, 6; Campbell, L ?o candidate receiving a majority, the Sen? ate proceeded to a third ballot, in which Mr. Donaldson voted for Sawyer, and resulting Sawyer, 14; Mackey, 9; French, 5; Campbell, 1. No candidate yet receiving a majority, the Senate proceeded* to a fourth ballot, in which there was no change of votes, resulting as the last. Sawyer, 14; Mackey, 9; French, 5; Camp? bell, 1. .On the fifth ballot Mr. Bieman voted for -Sawyer, and the result' was declared to be, Sawyer, 15; Mackey, 9; French, 5. Mr. Sawyer, having received a maiority of all -ihe votes, Mr. Whittemore moved for the ap? pointment of a committee to inform the Bouse ot Representatives that the Senate would meet in their hall to-morrow at 12 o'clock to compare the votes of the two Houses. . Mr. Montgomery moved to lay the motion on the table, which was disagreed to, and the motion was adopted. The Senate then adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE0. The Houee assembled at ll o'clock. Prayer by Rev. David Harris. . 'The Speaker announced the standing com? mittees. A. J. Ransier, from the Committee on Privi? leges aod Elections, reported that they had briefly considered the subject of the contested seats of thc Anderson members, and recom? mend that the same be determined by the House, permission being granted to send for persons and papers. The report was made tbe special order for Thursday at 12 M. J. H. Neagle moved that the Legislature pro? ceed to vote for a person to fill the vacancy of the abort unexpired term, and secondly, for a person to fill the vacancy of the long unex? pired term. The motion was agreed to. The House then took a recess until ten min? utes to twelve M. On reassembling. Mr. J. H. Jencks moved .hat a call nf the House be made, which was done, and one hundred and twenty-two mem? bers responded to their names. On motion of W. J. Whipper, all persons not members were requested to vacate the seats of members. William McKinlay, Alderman of the City of Charleston, now made a short speech nomina? ting T. J. Robertson. He said that when the wai* was raging, the ruling power of the State had resolved itself into a solid phalanx for the 6urpose of destroying the Constitution and Pion. Opposed to these was a small devoted band, of whom T. J. Robertson was one, v/hose object was to de end the Constitution and laws. In tbi* cause he had imperilled his hi-. Aftt*r~iiie"WaT UB~t$eonre one of f ho stsuuc'i pillars of Bet>ub!icinium, and was now entitled to receive that justice which the party would show themselves only too glad to bestow. J. Crews, of Laurens, put in nomination Col. J. R. Edie, commandant of the post of Colum? bia. He said that Col. E. bad long been a true Republican, was an earnest friend of tbe col? ored man, had been in Congress, wae a Penn? sylvanian by birth, a soldier whose record was equal to that of his bravest comrades, and that, consequently, he was as much entitled to the consideration of the Legislature as any other candidate. W. J. Whipper said he hoped the vote for Mr. T. J. Robertson would be unanimous as far as possible. R. C. DeLarge said he was instructed to withdraw tbe name of Col Edie. The roll was then called, and the members voted rica voce with :he following result: Whole number of votes cast 122; necessary to a choice 62. 0/ these Mr. Robertson received 1107. The following Democratic members voted for Hon. B. F. Perr; : Mesan-. Bullock, Bryant, I Clyburne, Doyle, Field, Keith, Littlejohn, Moore, Sloan, Stewart, B.\ M. Smith, Turner, < Wilson and Wailer. The Chair accordingly announced that Mr. T. J. Robertson was elected to the (Jutted States Senate for the unexpired term ending. March 4,187L The Houee proceeded to the election of an? other senator. Mr. J. H. Jencks. said he had the pleasing duty to introduce to that body, and ask its HU:.;'".-! of one behoved to be fully adapted to rill* the important position of United States Senator-he referred to Mr. Frederick A. Saw? yer-a Democrat after the school of Abraham Lincoln, and one in every way qualified to serve his country in any department of duty. A. J. Ransier spoke at length in making the nomination of Dr. A. O. Mackev, u&ing the most eulogistic expressions concerning that gentleman's devotion to tbe Union, the sacri? fices he had made, and sufferings he bad en? dured. W. J. Whipper nominated Parson French, claiming that his record as a man was at least equal to that of his competitors, and that as a Republican be was entitled to even more at the hands of the party than the other gentle? men named. It was to his efforts in part that the colored men of South Carolina were in? debted for'the privilege of setting in this hall to-day. The morning of his life had been spent in disseminating Republican principles, and now, .in the evening of his career, it was but flt that, having among the people and in the army everywhere advocated justice and equality to the colored man, he should be re? warded. R. B. Elliott (colored,) seconded the nomina? tion of Mr. Sawyer in a strong speech, in which he said he behoved thc success und perpetuity of the Republican party depended on the election of Mr. Sawyer. We bad enough of scallawags and carpet-baggers, and tbe faolt was due to those who made use of these wandering agencies to promote their own success. P.. C. DeLarge (colored,) seconded the nomi? nation of Dr.' .uackey. Dr. Boseman (colored, ) spoke m favor of Mr. Sawyer, and Mr. Tomkin? son represented with great earnestness the claims and merita of Parson French. B. Small (colored,) madeja speech in which he said that Mansfield French was a Republi? can, while Mackey was yet crying out "aeceeh." It was a noted fact, that he was a. secessionist. Referring to a printed letter which Mr. Mackey had been circulating purporting to come from General Fremont and endorsing Mackey, Small said he never wrote to Gensral Fre? mont, and didn't know why Mr. Fremont wrote to him. At best he had a queer way of sending his letters, for this was hauued to him open after a copy bad been takvu for tbe newspapers. Gentlemen had S.J.1 Mr. Mackey was a good Republican, lie certainly had not shown it, and if he had, bi certainly had been rewarded. He held an otfl.-e worth eight or ten thousand dollars a year tnas all his Eons and relations.in office, and, in Heaven's name, what more did he want. For one, he, the speaker, did not desire to see the State of South Carolina changed to the State of Mackey. TGreat laughter.] The House then proceeded to ballot with the following result : Dr. Mackey, 50 votes ; F. A. Sawyer. 34: Parson French" 24; J. B. Camp? bell, 13; B. F. Perry, 1. Whole number of votes cast 122-necessary to a choice 02. The Speaker announced that there was no elec? tion, and the House then adjourned. -An unexpected difficulty has caused the bull-fights announced as about to take place at Havre to be postponed. The bulls, selected for their ferocity in the plains of Guadadquiver, have been treated so kindly ty the ruilway ser? vants during their journey across Spain and France, that they are now perfectly tame, and will not fight; and so tho sight-seers at Havre are to baye a regatta instead of a hull-fight on the day appointed for the festivities. / POLITICALS TEE EFFECT OF TEE NOMINATIONS. A COUNT OF STATES. TEE TEJED PARTY MOVEMENT. HOW TO DEFEAT GRANT. ?KC. ?KC., ?ic. The New York World now speaks in a cheer? ful tone of the Democratic nominations. It says: The Democracy of this State delight in hon? oring Seymour, and no nomination could be made which would please them better. Under the belief that he could not be prevailed upon to accept the nomination, the public mind here had turned toward Chase, and many people ex? pected his nomination. No man worked harder ?Or that result than did Horatio Seymour. He let no opportunity pass where he could urge upon the Democracy from other sections the importance of nominating Chase at this time. But the West could not take him. They be? lieved their people opposed to his nomination, and this section of the West/where they had fought him politically and won in the cam? paigns where he took part against them, could not be got to ftcYor his nomi? nation at this time. Fating, therefore, in this, the nomination -of Seymour is the best possible result thai^could have been obtained. In bim the Democrats have pre? sented to tho people one of the ablest men of the country, and a man wkosefprivate andper Bonal character is without a blemish. There is no public man of the present day whose moral character is so free from stain as is Ho? ratio Seymour's. His nomination was so sud-, den, and the expectation so general that some other person would be nominated, that at first there appeared to be a little disappointment in this city, but this has all died away. Enthu? siasm and confidence are now taking its place. STATES FOB sr SHOCK AND BLAIR. In canvassing the question with the delegates to the Convention since the nomination was made, the fo lowing States are put down as sure for Seymour and Blair. Connecticutt, 6 ; New York. S3 ; New Jersey, 7; Pennsylvania, ?26 ; Ohio, 21; Indiana, 13; Oregon, S ; Nevada, 3 ; California. 5 ; Dela? ware. 3 ; Kentuckv, ll ; Missouri, ll ; Kansas, 3; Wifeconsin, 8 ; Maryland, 7, Total, 160. One hundred and fifty-nine votes, says the World, are all that is necessary for election, and in the above tables there are one hundred and eiity electoral votes without counting one ot the Southern States engaged in the rebellion. In the list of States given, every one, save three in which a State ele:tion has been held in the last,eighteen months, has gone Demo? cratic. In all the local elections have exhibited great Democratic gains, sufficient to insure the States for the Democracy, this tall. We have not counted Illinois in the hst, but the. delegates to the Convention declared that there was no doubt but Pendleton could carry that State. If it would he certain for Pendleton, then it can be safely counted for Seymour and Blair. In addition to this, the States of Alabama, ; Georgia and Mississippi are certain to give a Democratic majority with any fair chance for voting: this will give 24 more electoral votes and swell the Democratic column to 164. But the Re? publicans are laboring to exclude the votes nf the States of Virginia, Texas and Mississippi, by. legislation in Congress. If the electoral votes of these States are no:*counted, then there will be in the electoral ?Wlego 291 votes, and 148 will be all that will De accessary to elie'. The Dumoove'v om'thin lose Ohio, std still secure a uisj' >ny?of the ?^wtoraJ-CtilJogc, "wt bout uouutoj-r ?u- from tue South; or, hy carrying Ohio, they,ca:i loose .Mibsouri, Wis? consin and Kansar, and still elect their ticket without receiving a vote from the South. There is, therefore, every reason for encouragement to the Democracy, and the election of Seymour and Blair may be put down as a certainty. A CANARD ABOUT CHASE. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writing ou the 12th inst., says : A story, evidently concocted to iniure Chief Justice Cha-e in the estimation of the people, and particularly of those who still contemplate putting him before the country as a candidate for President, is in circulation here to-night. It would not be worth mentioning at all were it not that I learn some senator intends to bring the matter before the Senate in the course of a few days.' The story is this : It is represented that while in Bichmond Chase told General Lee that? he intended to acquit Jeff. Davis, and that he hoped to seethe latter soon again in his old seat in the Senate. A pile of affidavits from residents of Bichmond is said to be in existence proving the entire correct? ness of this silly statement. Tho only lounda ' tion for this story is, probably, that a certain senator told the Chief Justice, v/hile in Rich? mond, that he (the senator) did not beheve Jeff. Davis would ever be tried, to which tho Chief Justice made no answer. I cannot dis? cover the e eua tor who is to bring the matter bi- or i Congress, and, therefore, I eetdown the whele story as a fabrication, contrived entire? ly vi itu a view to inj ure the high character of the Chief Justice. TEE HERALD AND GRANT. The New York Herald is out more Grantish than ever. It says that the American people cannot support a party opposed to the war without acknowledging that they are ashamed of their great success, and that they repent of their adhesion to the great principles on which they conducted the recent war. The Herald says: Through the political sequences of the war we must adhere to the great leader who guided ns safely through the struggle, and help him still to keep the country right and deep down those violent political elements that would swerve us from the direct path to one side or the otber. We must stand by Grant as the best hope of the nation's safety and the only guarantee that we snail not be false to our? selves. THE TUTED PABT? MOVEMENT. A Washington dispatch, dated the 12th, says: A movement was commenced here to-day with the object of forming a third party, to run Chase for President and General Ewing, of Kansas, for Vice-Presidenl. Thia movement bas been started by Democrats who are dissat? isfied with the nomination of Seymour and Blair, and Conservatives of the Chase persuas? ion, who are determined to run Chase at all hazards. It is understood that he is willing to be a candidate under these auspices, and it is confi? dently asserted to-night that the new party will receive the support of President Johnson, who is intensely disgusted with the action of tbe New York Convention. A consultation was held at the White House this morning, at which Secretaries Seward and Welles, and Senator Doolittle were present, and it is reported that the subject was fully discussed, and the result was that rumors were soon after ' circulated on the street that initiatory steps had been taken to set tbe hall in motion. The Washington Chronicle, of Friday, has the following on the subject of this third party : A caucus of Democrats, diavatiefied with the nominations of tbe New York Convention, was last night held at one of the leading hotels in this city, to determine upon a course of action with a view to putting in the field another Pres? idential ticket. There were preeeDt some twenty-five or thirty gentlemen from various parts "of the country, including members of Congress, delegates to the late Convention, and ex-officers of the army. Politically, those present might be divided into three cusses, as follows : Friends of the administration, con? servative soldiers and sailors, and representa? tives of the workingmen's organizations. De? riving our information indirectly, and not . having had a reporter present, we are, of course, unable tb give the proceedings in de? tail, but we learn that it was resolved to take steps for calling together three conventions, j one for each of the three political classes above ? mentioned, and that General W. S. Rosecrans, of California, and S. F. Cary, of Ohio, were agreed upon unanimously as the "third party' ticket. We do not know whether either of these gentlemen has been consulted upon the acceptance, or whether they are to be perforce consigned to that class of people who are said to "have greatness thrust upon them.*' Nor can wejaredicl whether the proposed conven tiona, should they ever be held, will accept the cut-and-dried ticket prepared for them. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Sun, writing on the 13th, Bays : There is a movement in progress, backed by some of the most substantial men in the con try, who oppose on the one hand the radical? ism which culminated in the nomination of Gen. Grant, and who oppose on the other the candidates and principles of the New York Convention, and especially the principles of Mr. Blair's letter, to place a third candidate in the field for President. The movement was begun at New York on Friday last, and is being developed throughout the country, with expressions of the warmest concurrence from some of the most prominent persons in both parties, but particularly from the conservative men of the country, the work? ing men, and a large body of the soldiers and sailors. lt is proposed, if the arrangements can be completed, to publish a list of the National Executive Committee shortly, and to hold a convention to nominata candidates, either in Pittsburg or Cincinnati, in September. Jt is believed here by the Democrats, how? ever, that this movement will amount to noth? ing, and that within two weeks all complaint against the Democratic nominees will have ceased. To this the friends of the proposed new patty respond that they are in earnest and will not desist. We do not, however, anticipate that this at? tempt to create a division in the Democratic ranks will meet with any success, if, even, the rumours concerning it have any foundation. THE PRESIDENT AND THE NOMINATION. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times, writing on the 12tb, says : There is much speculation regarding the at? titude of the President and his Cabinet on the New York Democratic nominations, and nume? rous reports are in circulation, (none of them well founded, however,) that a serious disaffec? tion exists among Mr. Johnson's advisers to? ward the Democratic candidates. There is no doubt, however, of the position of Mr. Seward and General Schofield. They both support General Giant. Secretary Seward will proba? bly take no prominent part in the campaign, but his sympathies and countenance will be given to the Republican candidate. The same may be said, only in a more positive degree, of Mr. Evarts, the probable Attorney-Geneial. As to Mr. McCulloch's position, nothing further is positively known than that he ut? terly repudiates the financial part of the Democratic platform, and that he dislikes Sey? mour. Postmaster-General Randall is report? ed to have declared for Grant and Colfax, but authorizes a denial of the report, and adds that he has not made up his mind to support either ticket. He states farther, very significantly, that he cannot conscientiously support a re? pudiation platform, or any candidate with re Eudiation principles; Regarding tho much ilked-of third party rrTovement, he says that it would fail, inasmuch as it would result in throwing the election of President into the House, where there is no third party, and where Grant and Colfax are the overwhelming choice. Other mem t ers of the Cabinet are un? derstood to entertain similar views. THE NEW YOBS CONVECTION. - Tho New York World, in regard to the State elections, says: It is now probable that the Democratic State Convention will be called together about the 10th of Angust, to make nominations for State officers. The nomination of Horatio Seymour for President makes it certain that the can? didate of the Democracy for Governor will be taken from,this end of the State, and will be either JohrV-T. Honman or Henry C. Murphy. Mayor Hoffman may be put down as having the beat chance for the nomination at this time. The death of Mr. Cagger leaves the control of the party in this State in the hands of Tammany Hall, and takes from Mr. Murphy ono of his strou-reet supporters for tho nomina? tion. Tammany is understood to bo for Hoff? man aud bis no.uhf .lion may ilo.v bo counted as almo.it certain. HOW TO DEVrvr OB ANT. Tho following rem rks from tho Now York Tribune are worthy of ensidtration by Demo? crats as well as Radicals: Mr. Lincoln bad over 400,000 plurality, with nearly all the Al* ?. toral vote?, in 1864; yet mark how small a obi rge in tie popular vote would have defeat: 1 him I He carried Connecticut by 2106 majority, 6 electors; Indiana by 20,189 majority, 13 electors; Maryland by 7114 majori? ty, 7 electors; Nevada by 3232 majority, 3 elec? tors; New Hampshire by 3529 majority, 5 elec? tors; New York by 6749 majority, 38 electors; Oregon by 1431 majority, 8 electors; Pennsylva? nia by 20,075 majority, 26 electors; Rhode Island by 5651 majoritv, 4 electors. Total-9 States, 70,656 majority, 100 electors. Add these to the votes of New Jersey, Dela? ware and Kentucky-21-and ha would have had lil, leaving to*Mr. Lincoln but 114 Thus a change of less than 36,000 in over 4,000,000 votes would have elected McClellan over Lincoln.

By order of the President. ALEXANDER DUNCAN, July 16 Secretary. In Memoriam. At a meeting of the Hebrew Orphan Society, held on Tuesday. 11th Last., the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Every death brings a sorrow. However UFelees may have been a life, the separation of soul and body leaves always bihlnd eome eye to weep, some. voice to wail, some heart-to suffer. When the young man dies, in the full promise of a uteful life, we mourn hia lose for what he might have been had he been spared. When, however, the cid man, who has spent a life dedicated to works of usefulness and charity, renders hie final account to his God, we feel that we have lost a friend whose place it will be hard to fill. Such is our feeling at the death of our friend and fellow-member, SAMUEL VALENTINE. In the noble work for which this Society was formed, he was our coadjutor, but far outstripped mest of us in his earn? est zeal an the cauee ef charity. Recognizing hts re- J sponsibihty to God at all times, and under all cir c-mEtancss, he felt that the best way of showing i that responsibility was by work, and not by profee-. sion?. Wherever sickness lay pale and wan, and cold and comiortloifs, there was he ever to be found, giving his time, his attention, and his comforting care. Where Death had stalked, and there were few or none to do the last sad and sacred rites, there was he ever ready to perform the work. To this Society he b&E been for ?.any years an honored and a useful member. Age did not cool b:s zeal or deaden his energy in the c?u?e of thc orpbm; and ii is but meet that we should give some expression to our sorrow. Therefore, bett Besotted, First Tb6t in the death of o:r late friend, SAMUEL VALENIINE. we mourn the loss o? a coed citizen, a kind, earnest and charitable man, and a much loved member of this Society, Second. That a page in the Minute Book of the Societv be inscribed to his memory. Third. That we tender to hi? family our sincere lympaihy in their orBictioc, and offer to them, as a consolation, the knowledge that work, such as he performed on earth, is rewarded in that world where lhere ie no sorrow, no parting, and no pain. Fourth, 'lhat a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased, and that they be pub? lished in the daily papers of this city and the Jewish Mw wen ger. From the minutes. S. B.

The "outside pressure" upon the constitution and the vital powers at this season is tremendous. Every pore of the millions which cover the surface of the body io ? ? -alu upon its substance and its strength. To meet th's depletion-to keep up the stamina under such a contant outflow of dissolving flesh-tc nie and invigorant n> absolutely necessary; and time, that tries all things, his proved that HOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS impart a degree of | strength and resistant power to the over-taxed vital forces, which ls unattainable by any other known means. The effect of this inestimable vegetable preparation is to increase the appetite, accelerate di? gestion, tone the secretive organs, give firmness to the nerves, purify the blood, cheer the spirits, and, by thus rallying all the forces of the body, enable it to defy tho enerva ting influence of the heat, and pass triumphantly through the trying ordeal of the sum? mer months. As a safeguard against epidemics, and a preventive of the feebleness, lassitude and prostra? tion, of which so many thonsands complain at this season, it bas a national reputation founded on twenty-five years of uninterrupted and unequalled success._G_July-ll A5-WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU ?
