AN EXCELLENT DAX-SAWXEB ELECTED SENA TOE _SAGE OF THE MACKETITES-A PROTEST AGAINST THE ELECTION-MACKEY TO EE OUT OF OFFICE IH SIXTY DATS-THE CUSTOM? HOUSE TO BE PURGED-A DOBO NEE BEADY FOB WORE. [FROM OCR OWN REPORTER] COLUMBIA, S. C., July 16.-The two Houses met this morning and proceeded to ballot jointly for the election of a United Stales sena? tor for the long term. Three ballots were taken with. the following result : First ballot-Mackey, 59; Sawyer, 51; French, 27; Campell 16. E. J. Whipper then withdrew the name of Parson Mansfield French. Second ballot-Mackey, 68; Sawyer, 65; Camp? bell, 15; French, 1. Third ballot-whole num? ber voting, 149; necessary to a choice, 75 Sawyer, 76; Mackey, 68; Campbell, 5-viz: Messrs. Doyle, Field, Keith, Sloan and Steward. There was great cheering when the announce? ment was made that Sawyer was elected. [SECOND DISPATCH.] COLUMBIA, S. C., Joly 16-P. M.-T. J. Mackey, the brother of A. G. Mackey, the de? feated candidate, started this afternoon for Washington to enter a protest against Senator Sawyer being allowed to take his seat. The protest .is based upon a charge that Sawyer was engaged in blockade running during the war. T. J. Mackey, before leaving the city, resigned hie position as private Secretary to Governor Scott. - There has been great rejoicing to-day amongst all classes of persons who desired the defeat of .the Mackey party. Along the railroad, where the ne ws had been received by telegraph, there was loud cheering. Mackey declares that the election of Sawyer is the first Democratic victory in South Caroli? na, and will give the State to Seymour and Blair. The feeling among his friends is very bitter. It is confidently asserted by a gentleman from Washington, an agent of the Treasury Department, who has been investigating the affaire ol the Charleston Customhouse, that Mackey will be lurried out of office in lees than sixty days, and that the institution itself will be thoroughly swept out and purged. Tim Hurley, the Coronor eieit, went down to Chtrleston, to-night, with Mackey. It is not known whether he anticip ates holding an in? quest upon his remains. FDETHEOEWS DY MAIL.

C., July ~Ib>^ spectacle is now on exhibition in Colombia, sW^s never has been witnessed in South Carolina-a spec? tacle, every phase of which typifies the utterly unprincipled character of the Republican par? ty, and illustrates the frightful depth of de? moralization to which men must descend to secure respect as its "trooly loiln members. In the language of a Northern tourist, who lingers here for a day br two to enjoy the sen? atorial fight as a looker-on, "it is the most in? famous political contest that ever disgraced a bree country; if this bethe beginning of the and, God help the people of South Carolina !" ?Here is a Legislature composed of one hun? dred and twenty-four members of the House of Repr?sentatives, and thirty-three members rf" the Senate. Of the former, forty-eight only ire white, of the latter nine are colored. Of Democrats jere are, in the House fourteen, md in the Senate seven; making an aggregate rf seventy-two white and eighty-five colored legislators of South Carolina. The grave duty devolved upon these bodies is the choice of two United States Senators. One has already been elected with a degree of unanimity which indicated preconcert of action and a mutual understanding. The otb? is yet to be chosen, md it is the wicked, unparalleled and unprin? cipled means employed to secure this result that has disgusted Radicals themselves, and itemed them fer the safety of their party. Bribery and corruption are in the ascendant. No member can pi edie t the hour when he may lot be called upon with the offer of a douceur wrying in value from two dollars and a half to in indefinite amount of promise, for his vote. ?Vhile I write the bids are going on, and as if yo magnetize the sense of hearing, the chink >f counted gold rings through the corridors of he hotel, from a certain room wherein I re? cognize only the face of the carpet-bagger and itranger. The candidates have already been frequently innounced. They are F. A. Sawyer. Esq., Coi Mtyf of ihe Internal Revenue for Charleston, 3r. A. G. lackey, the Collector of Customs, md Rev. Mansfield French-whose profession cannot be accurately ascertained. No one out dde of the party will deny that all three are ^publicans. And yet the singular issue is made against Mr. Sawyer that because he is a gentleman, recognized as such, and the recip? ient of some kind attentions from those who lo not agree with him. politically, be mustne :essarily be a wretched Democrat. On the Dther hand, Dr. Mackey ha s a host pf enemies wbo declare that he belongs to the' "Cuatom aouse ring" of Charleston; that he and his family rule the Republican party of the State, md have absorbed the best of its fat offices; that he ie arbitrary, dictatorial, passionate, and i somewhat extensive demagogue; that he has sot the abiding love of all the Radicals, and has 'suffered' ' so profitably as to have made enough to retire to the peaceful shades of private life; consequently that he will not be acceptable to the majority. The Rev. M. F., on the other aand, ie looked upon with distrust; first, be? cause his chief supporters are Noithem men; secondly, because he is too sanctimonious; third, b: caupe he has not sufficient elocutional j ability to represent even the gboetof McDuffie; and fourth, because not being a drinking or a smoking man himself, he has let the job out on contract, which, ^ou must know, is a terrible drawback to success under tbe present circum? stances. The contest between these three candidates has been a study. Mr. Sawyer has held his caucus8eB, and every night met and exchang? ed views with the members of the party. Sometimes an ugly speech has been made con cerning bis withdrawal from the Convention at an early date, bnt the Ber. Whittemore has in? variably sang the crowd into good humor, and they have parted believing in no one more strongly than in the Collector of Bevenue. Dr. Mackey's role has been to inundate the party with pamphlets and other publications. Telegraphic dispatches have been mysterious? ly received and exhibited; also 1?tiers from dietin gnashed gentlemen in Washington, like that, for instance, from General Fremont, ad? dressed to Bob Small, a colored man, which Small avers he received by hand open, and only after a copy had been made for the prin? ter-leaving the impression upon the mind not that the endorsement of Mr. Mackey's charac? ter was a forgery, but Bimply got up for effect. Inflammatory speeche s have likewise been made by the Doctor, which, <n hie usual style, were calculated to arouse the passions, while frequently the performance has been varied by a resort to tears. In this lachrymal eloquence the Collector .of Customs is said to have acquired such great proficiency that he can weep copiously on five minutes' notice. The Bev. Mansfield French assumes amore modest manner of seduction. He does not speak in public, caucus, and all that; but through his friends, who appear very devoted in their attention, secures a considerable at? tendance in his roome-and there, it is said, prays to the members. He is supposed to tell them that the Almighty has especially selected him to represent the State of South Carolina in the United States Senate, and that if they fail to elect, there is not a man in the Legielatnre who will not be consigned to the bottomless pit with a ball and chain arourd his legs. After inducing this fearful expectation, somebody in the room is supposed to invite the members to take a drink and a cigar, and the Christianized presence is doubtless left with very much the sane impression which in ancient times attach? ed to the sanctified surroundings of the festive crusaders. . Go outside of the hotel and you will see hacks filled promiscuously with black and white men, driving pell-mell from quarter to quarter of the city; you will hear of dinner parties and drunks; you will hear of tenders of money at night, and the next morning see how a few dollars have changed a vote; you will hear members boast that, because they agreed to do thus and so, they have been as? signed a place on some important committee; you will hear of offices to be filled hereafter, drafts to be paid on the treasury, and every conceivable form of inducement offered to se? cure a vote. While hurrying through this letter I hear of $75 paid to one member, who 6weare he has received better pay from the other side and will vote accordingly. I hear, too, of one tboueasd dollar d bid for an entire delegation. I hear the reasons stated by a poor colored fellow why he wa6 not in the Honse to-day. His explanation is this: "You eee, sar, I 'jis arrive on de car; but brees de Lord I hain't ben byar five minit afore some? body ax me for whom I vote; I tell him fur MOBS Sawyer; he eay no, come wid me; den he talk awhile and convince me.I must vote fur de mac dey cell Br. Mackey-, . I no eooner girmy mind fix on Dr. Mackey dan a nice leetle man come along and talk about Moss. French. Wall, he make such a putty ehowin' of de cern man dat I jis conclude I vote for him. Finally annudder man cum along wid a mighty fine kerridge, and say, won't you vote? I say yis, and we ride togedder, and tak someting to drink, and ride some more and drink some more, until bimeby I git in a sort a muddle, an I don't keer about de Le g i el ai er nor nuffin; but when my head git olear yer see, de House nab adjourn, and I lose my vote five time. I telly on, sar, I-wish I stay home." Everyib?ig like distinction of race or color is politically ignored. The colored man who owns a vote is treated to and demands con? sideration, and it is paid to bim as to a white man. Office seekers, those who are anxious to fill the places of judge, solicitor, cfcc7,Tior> nob kindly with their ebon brother at the public bar, and do their best to create - a pleas? ant impression. In short, the white man bas stepped aside from his level. Some who are here would sell their souls for the mean dr?. *8 of office. I can put my finger on two boys to-night, mere beardless youths, little beyond the voting age, who aspire to the beet and most responsible positions in the gift of the govern joent. In all probability they will get what they want, because they are-Radical. This disgraceful condition of things will continue until after the election, and then possibly returning reason may suggest the propriety of looking into the corruption of the hour. Before this letter reaches you the election will probably be decided. While all the candi? dates stick, all of Mr. French's friends will not willingly allow Dr. Mackey to be elected by their ?WO default., but will give their suffrages to Mr. Sawyer. The Democrats are holding off, the House delegation voting en masse for the Hon. J. B. Campbell, of Charleston. I horn that many of the Republicans are greatly incensed against Governor Scott, be? cause he has cancelled the bond of N. G. Park? er, the Treasurer elect of the State. The Gov? ernor declares, however, that he was chosen to protect the interests of the State, and that no default of his shall permit the State to loje any of her ancient fame and credit. PERSONNE. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. SENATE. WEDNESDAY, July 15.-Mr. Whittemore, from the committee appointed to inform the Souse of Representatives that the Senate would meet them to-day to proceed, in joint meeting, to the election of senators of the United States, re Sorted that the committee had discharged the uty assigned to it. Altera pause of Borne minutes, J. J. Wright s aid that an individual who might have been an officer of the House, had a short time pre? viously informed him that the Speaker of tbe House was ready to receive the Senate, and re? quested him to inform the Senate of that fact. Mr. Hoyt moved that the statement oi the senator be received as information, and that tbe Senate proceed to the execution of tbe joint order. B. F. Randolph opposed the motion, as there was nothing regularly before the Senate on the subject. He hoped that the Senate would in? sist on having the intercourse between the two houses conducted in a regular and official man? ner. The Preeident Baid that messages from the House could only be received and communi? cated to the Senate by its presiding officer. On motion, the-Senate proceeded to the con? sideration of the homestead bill, which was in? terrupted by a message from the Speaker of the House, announcing that it was ready to re? ceive the Senate and proceed by joint ballot to elect senators of the United States. The Senate, headed by its President and clerk, then proceeded to the hall of the House of Representatives. HOUSE OF BET-BESEHTATIVES. The Senate on arriving occupied seats vaca? ted by the members tor the purpose. The platform was occupied by a number of the per? sons distinguished by their affiliation with the Republican party. The proceedings of the two houses were read by the clerks, and the Legislature pro? ceeded to its first joint ballot. The result was as follows : Total number voting 151, of whom 30 were senators and 121 members of the House; utcoseary to a choice 76 ; of which Mackey received GO; Sawyer, 49; French. 28; and Campbell 12 votes. Second ballot-Mack? ey, 59; Sawyer, 51; French, 27; Campbell. 14. Third ballot-Mackey, 59; Sawyer, 50; French, 27; Campbell, 14. Fourth ballot-Mackey, 60; Sawver, 51; French, 25; Campbell. 7. Fifth ballot-Mackev, 62; Sawyer, 50; French, 24; Campbell, 14. The joint Assembly finding it impossible to elect, and the hour of three having arrived, adjourned to meet at 12 .vi. the same as to-day. POLITICAL. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald dutifully plays follow my leader, and throws as much cold water as he can carry upon the Democratic nominations. He writes on the 11th as follows : It is rarely that so great a-disappointment is experienced in the political affairs of the coun? try as that which has overtaken the Conserva? tive portion of the people in regard to the De? mocratic nomination for President, and it is Beldom that a national disappointment has been so generally and so pointedly expressed. So far as the" Conservative and Democratic citizens of Washington are concerned, the selection of the Democratic Convention for President has called forth almost universal condemnation. Predictions of signal defeat to the party, quite as inglorious as that sustained by McClellan, are made on every band, not only by the Radicals, but by the moderate Democrats and Republicans. Although grieved and disappointed at the unfortunate result, it is said the President will give his support to the choice of the Conven? tion. The members of the Cabinet, it is also said, agree with the President in his views of the nominations. In tact, nobody approves of them except those who were engaged in the rebellion and their sympathizers. Many of those who have hitherto announced themselves as being opposed to Grant as a Republican champion now turn to that silent soldier with all his Radical vows thick upon him as the more acceptable of the two candi? dates, and hope that when he is elected Le will be found true to his life-long Conservative principles, and that he will interpose his hand to avert the most dangerous of the Radical tbrustB at the vitals of the constitution. ADJOUBXITENT. The Washington C?lf?sp?ndent of the New York Times, under date of the 13th, says : The necessity of a speedy adjournment of Con gress for political reasons is more and more imperative every day. The longer Con? gress remains now, the more danger of blund? ers which the Republican party will have to shoulder in the campaign. To-day was a fair sample of what may be expected any day henceforth, but particularly on Mondays. As stated last night, Mr. Butler was.bent on get? ting up the subject of taxing bonds again, and be finally persuaded Ashley, of Nevada, to be hie catspaw, and introduced a bill to that ef? fect when his State should be called. When the bill came in, Butler was on the alert, and immediately moved to put it on its passage. But he was immediately hoisted -by bis own i petard. He had fixed up a thing, but its re? ception was also fixed up. The Speaker caused the rule to be read, which provides that no bill which is in its nature a tax or a charge upon the people can be considered the same day it is introduced. "I move to suspend the rules," quoth the adroit Bntler. "That can nothe done during the morning hour," quoth the Speaker. Whereupon Butler Bubslded, in evident disguBt. BTXTTTF FOB TBS SOOTS. The same correspondent says : It is probable that several bills for the relief of the Southern States, including one for government aid in repairing thefMisPissippi levees, will be presented to the House in a few daysv The anxiety of mern ber tr-to-' pet away precludes possibility of action on them at this session. ' THE THIRD PARTY. STARTLING AND EXCITING RUMORS. Mr. Seymour to Withdraw. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. 4c" &c, ic. Rumors and assertions concerning thc new third party are still flying thick and fast, but there is no evidence yet before UB that places tb* movement upon any reliable foundation. The Washington Express says, editorially, in response to a dispatch already published : A .'movement" may have been commenced, but it could only have been done by p, {pw silly Radical partisans, aided by two or turee disap? pointed place-hunters, who call themselves Democrats, withodt having the slightest title to that honorable designation. We deny that, either the upright Chief Justice, or the gallant soldier named, is cognizant of the manouvre, and we utterly deny that nither would lend himself to so rucidal ' ad <u:-reputable a plot. The most aat .""di' statement il the "confi? dent usertta. iL "th( uaw party will re? ceive the sitj. x>.t o: thu Pr?sident.'' Mr. John? son has, in o'x opinion, been gu?jy of many un wide act 3, and wo have but little confidence in hie discretion; but we cannot think it possi? ble that he has become so infatuated and so lost to ail sen so of honor as to connive at a plot by which, even could it succeed, he would gain nothing save an undying reputation of infamy. On the other hand, the Washington Star, a paper of Radical leanings, in its issue of Tues? day , eaye: The particulars given by us yesterday con? cerning the movement for the formation of a new party by those disaffected with the nomination of Seymour and JBlair, attracted no little attention, uni the matter waa the subject of general discussion last night. Many of the Democratic politicians are disposed to treat the movement slightingly, as the effervescence of a few eore-head partisans. They say that the attempt will not enlist a baker s dozen of the Democracy, or those disposed to act with the Democracy, and that it will not be heard of in a fortnight. We are inclined to think, after careful inquiry, and taking into consideration the character of the men engaged in this bolt from the "New York nominations and platform, that it will no do for the Democracy to under? rate its importance. The Democratic mana? gers may find it to their advantage to wink at the formation of a third party, in order to pre? vent the disaffected from going over to Grant and Colfax,, swelling the ranks of their adver? saries after a dangerous sort. Thurlow Weed's paper, the New York Com? mercial Advertiser, pooh-poohs the matter,and says: Washington dispatches just now abound in rumors of the organization of a third party, with Chase at its head. We are told, among other things, that a committee of New Yorn gentlemen have waited upon the Chief Justice and asked him to stand as an independent candidate: that many Democrats, dissatisfied, with the Tammany nominations, are desirous of voting for him, and that "alienated" Re Eublicans, who cannot go to Seymour and lair would gladly go to Chase and Dix, We discredit all of the reports. Judge Chase would unquestionably like to revenge himself upon the Tammany magnates for throwing him so unceremoniously overboard, after he bad gone back on his previous record and cast himself at their feet a suppliant tor office. But the Chief Justice has had too much experience to know the fate which invariably attends third party movements. Such a movement at best could only throw the Presidential election into Congress^ when Grant would of course be elected. The Washington correspondent cf the New Yolk Herald, writing on the Uth, says : Very many Conservatives speak favorably of ranning a t?ird ticket, and most cf them men? tion Chase and Hancock aa the most popular names to be placed upon it. Some doubts are expressed about the advisability of placing three candidates in the field, owing to the dan? ger that attends it of throwing the election into the House of Representatives. This movement is not confined to mere talk, but measures have already been adopted to? wards carrving it into effect. At least thero can be no "doubt that a powerful effort will be made to place Mr. Cba66 before 'he country as a candidate for the Presidency, either as "the Democratic nominee or as the choice of th? might; conservative element of the country. The same correspondent suggests another plan. He says: Another suggestion which is made by Con? servatives, and which seems to be gaining ground, is that a strong effort should be made to secure, at the earliest day possible, a change in the Preeidential candidate by bringing every influence to bear upon Mr. Seymour to induce him to withdraw from the field. The plan sug? gested for supplying the vacancy he would tb.ua create is that the National Democratic Com? mittee shall hold a meeting, nominate Chief Justice Chase on the ticket with Gen. Blair, or some Eastern man, issue an address to the De? mo crae ? of the country, urging support of the nomination, and calling upon the Suites to rati? fy it in State conventions. This could be done, it ie claimed, and the nomination ratified be? fore the middle ot Augnet, leaving ample time to organize the forces for the campaign eo effectually that the popular ticket of Chase and Blair, or some one else ae before suggested, would meet with the most overwhelming suc? cess. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing on the 18th, two days later, rather confirms this view. He eave : I Various and contradictory minors are afloat in this city relative to a thud party movement, the latest of which is that a committee com? posed mainly of New York men, called on Mr. Chase, to-day, to get his views on the subject, lt is reported that they assured him that they have positive strength in different sections of the Union, and that thirty days will develope a strong party which will willingly support the Chief Justice on a platform embodying the views contained in his letter to Mr. John J. Cisco. It is also said that they held forth the hopo that Seymour ie anx? ious to withdraw, and that he wants but a reasonable excuse to do so, as he does not imagine that the Demo? cratic party can win in the coming conteet. It is reported that Mr. Chase replied that he had not committed himself in any way to the New YorK platform, and that he would be guided by his friends. Your correspondent nae no means of verifying these stories, on ac? count of the lateness of the hour; and he does not attach much importance to them. They are merely reproduced as the chit-chat of the politicians. The Providence Journal's Washington cor? respondence, dated July 12, contains the fol? lowing: There is an undercurrent movement among politicians here, which it is difficult to reach, bot which disturbs the surface just enough to indicate its course. That movement is still in embryo; but I think its purpose has been de? vised near enough to warrant the publication of the fact. Ever since the Democratic nomi? nation the disappointed Democrats through? out the country, incensed by the action of the New York Convention in throwing overboard such men as Hendricks, Chase, Hancock and others for Seymour and Blair,' have been can? vassing the chances of placing a third candi? date in the field, and have been trying for two or three days to induce certain disappointed Republicans" to join them, with Chase as leader and candidate. It is argued that a third can? didate could take a majority of the Democratic votes in the country, and enough of the Repub? licans who have been life-long friends ot the Chief Justice to carrv the electoral vote. All the indications point to this as the course like? ly to be pursued. It is very certain, from the action of the leaders here, that there is a wide? spread diesatiefaction among trie Democrats, and if Chase will consent to run he will have an opportunity. If he will not, then Grant and Colfax will have most of the votes among the sore-headed Democrats, and the balance will take no part in the election on either side. ~ THINGS IN SK. W YORK, i THE WEATHER AND THE 1CEBEEGS-MOBS MOR? MONS-THE THERD PASTY-1TOBE FHA EES-THE 8TBIHE-BUSINESS LOOKING TP. The New York correspondent of the Phihv delphia Ledger, writing on the 13tb inst., says : Everybody U r. skin g his neighbor to-day if 'he "ever kne v it to be so hot ?" The response is usually in accordance with the feelings of the party interrogated-"never-but that is, scarcely correct, as the thermometer has on pd' day this summer touched 100 degrees. Last season it reached that altitude more than once. Be that as it may, however, there's a genera) stampede to the country under the impression that ft must *e cc*]*? tbero-ihan here. All the Flora Mac Flimsey'a are goneTTnnr-tn^McTabs and all the rest ot them are preparing to- follow. Fifth avenue, Lexington avenue, Madison ave* nue, and Murray Hill yesterday were so desert? ed, that a cannon ball might have traversed them without hitting anybody out of doors. While we are panting w.th heat, scarcely a vessel arrives from Europe that does not tanta? lize us with a report of passing icebergs, some of them of immense size, on the coaet. Steam ehipe Borussia, City of Boston and Minnesota, all had observations of that kind. The latter, at one time, was in close companionship with several very ugly customers, and had to make a long detour to get out of their way. The Battery, this afternoon, wa? occupied by a large number of Mormon immigrants just arrived from the old country, under the Euper? vision of a brother of Brigham Young, and bound to Utah. A majority o? them have their families with them. They propose to start for Salt Lake at once. Nearly all of them are irom England and Wales. There is tome talk, in certain circles here, about getting up a third Presidential ticket, to be headed by Judge Chase; but I cannot learn that it is encouraged by any prominent politioian, either Democrat or Republican. It ls given out that Judge Chase is ready to endorec the proceeding, but that is not believed. It is said that the editor of a weekly paper, and the occupant of a lucrative municipal office, who talked Chase before tho nomination of Sey? mour, is the author of whatever really is in the alleged third-party movement. Further frauds in the shape of altered certifi? cates were discovered in Wall-street on Satur? day. The alterations have been done so artis? tically, that it is difficult to teil the spurious from the genuine. The frauds em trace more or less Fort Wayne, Michigan Southern, Bock Island, Pittsburg, New York Central, Erie and Pacific Mail. The aggregate is supposed to be from $500,000 to $1,000/ 00; but the real extent it is difficult to get at, ae the brokers who have been swindled naturally are disinclined to tell the exact amount of their losses lest it might impair their credit. The railroad companies are also keeping very quiet in the matter. Further altered certificates on Erie &Dd Pacific Mail were discovered this afternoon. It is certainly very singular that the Board of Brokers have taken no official action in the matter. The prevailing opinion in the street is, the least they ought to do is to offer a large reward for the capture of the guilty party or parties. The Orangemen are celebrating the battle of Aughram in Jones' Woods to-day. There ?B no shooting, but plenty of picnicking. No new developments in the bricklayer's strike. The bosses were in conference again on Saturday afternoon, but did nothing except to talk over prospects. Among the buildings upon which labor is suspended is the St. John's Chapel enlargement, for which an appropria? tion had been made hy Trinity Vestry of forty thousand dollars. The contractor had en? gaged to have it completed by the first of Sep? tember. All bands-employers and employed alike-are watching with much interest the re? sult of the eight-hours' 6trike arnon? the coal miners of Pennsylvania, and the dispatches from Pottsville are read <v:ib cager interest. There is but hill* activi'.y in businees cir? cles to-day, owing to the extreme sultriness of the weather, and to the absence cf so many leading merchants, bankers and brokers in the country. Money is in moderate demand at 4@ 5 per cent.; discounts, 6@7. An opinion is gaining ground that we shall see a more active market sooner thon most people anticipate. The heavy falling off in the l:gal-tender reserves, as seen in last week's hank statement, indicates that the demands oi the country for currency io move its crops are already beginning to be presented. A PLAN TO RUIN SAVANNAH.-The Savannah Republican says that there is a plot afoot in Atlanta to extend the limits of the City of Sa? vannah foui' miles, so as to give its control lo negroes. The principal movers in this shame? ful trick are tho negroes Bradley and Hopkins. THINGS I JV THE STATIS. - Capt. Wm. Barnie, one of the oldest and moBt efficient and popular of the conductors of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, died at Carteraville on Monday. -On Thursday night, a dwelling house, be? longing to Mr. Isaac Bierfleld, in the town of Helena, Newberry diatric*, was discovered to be on fire, and in a short time thereafter was entirely consumed. -Chester has been blessed with several fine showers, but a bot sun and three or four dry days has again rendered the earth quite thirs? ty. The Standard regrets to learn that some portions of the county are much in need of the fructifying element, not having had a drop in five weeks. -Wofford College commencement took ^.lace on Tuesday. Professor DuPre delivered the annual address on Wednesday. Addresses were delivered <bv Ellis B. Cannon,' Barham W. Fos? ter, Wm. Kirkland and P.. 0. Smart, upon whom degrees were conferred. The valedic? tory was spoken by Dr. Smart, of Beaufort. -After a lapse of nine weeks of dry and scorching weather, save the Newberry Herald, a heavy rain has fallen. The baked condition of the ground however, allowed but a slight re? lief to dying vegetation. It is one week ?ince the shower fell, and another is anxiously look? ed for. The corn and cotton in some portions of the district are suffering, while in others they do well. A general rain, and good seasons from this time, though much corn is dwarfed and retarded, would insure to this district a good yield. Gardens in and. around town are almost past hope. -The Columbia Phoenix says: Alderman Greenfield, as we are reliably informed, prepar? ed a respectful memorial to the Legislature, requesting an order tor an election for munici? pio officers at an early day. This memorial was signed by all the white members except Alderman Bernsen; and by none of the colored members except Alderman Taylor. What rea? son the objecting members assign we cannot conceive, as it was generally understood that the present officials were to be but temporari? ly in authority. The attention of the Legisla? ture ie called to the matter. THE NEW MABYLAJO SENATOB.-Governor Swann, of Maryland, has appointed William Pinckney Whyte United State senator for the unexpired term of Hon. Reverdy Johnson, re? cently appointed Minister to England. The term expir?e on the 4th of March next. Mr. Whyte is a native of Baltimore, and gra? duated, we believe, at Princeton, ?and IB a leading member of the Maryland bar. He is in the prime of life-between forty-five and fifty and is considered, at least b ? those politically opposed to him, as one of the ii. o st able men in the Democratic party of hie native State. Senator Whyte has always been an active pol? itician of the extreme Democratic school, nae several times represented Baltimore in the State Legiature and for several years was Comp? troller of the State Treasury, in which position hie friends claim that he exhibited considera? ble financial ability. He was defeated for the House of Representatives by Hon. J. Morrison Harris during the da VB of the American part}, j and during the rebellion he took but little ac? tive, part m political affairs. Last winter he | was a candidate for United States senator, but withdrew after the first ballot, and was a mem? ber of the late constitutional convention. * j THE MOST PERTE CT IBON TONIC.-HEGEHAX'S FEBBATED ELIXIR OP BABE.-A pleasant cordial, prepared from calisaya bark and pyro-phos? phate of iron, possessing the valuable proper? ties of iron phosphorous and calisaya, without any injurious ingredients.

C., June 27th, 1668, after a short illness of three days, of congestion offne brain, EMELINE C., only child of EATV P. and JOHN H. HOUSTON', aged one year five mouthe and nineteen daye. Again b>s dark browed death entered a happy home circle, and borne from thence on his sable pinions the sunligbt of the household, the cherished idol of many fond hearts, wringing forth a groan of agony from th? bereaved lather, and a waif of woe from the heartbroken mother; but causing a glad shout of triumphant Joy to echo and re-echo through thc diamond vaulted arches of Heaven, to hail the . return of the little sister angel, that had been per? mitted to stray for awhile. Our darling was too pure for a world so corrupt, and ere one leaf of ber heart had lost its dewy freshness and purity God took her htnee. Fond parents, weep her not as dead, "she ls not dead hut sleepeth," and in that day when the grave must givo np its sleepers, then in all her beauty will come forth your little one.

July 17_1 AS-SECURE HEALTH IN ADVANCE.-IT is as difficult to extinguish a raging fever a? a raging fire; but you can prevent a conflagration by render? ing your dwelling fire-procf, and you can prevent an attack of fever by invigorating and purifying your "honee of day." The "outside pressure" upon the constitution and the vital powers at tits season is tremendous. Every pore of the millions which cover the surface cf '.be body is a drain upon its substance and its strength. To meet this depletion-to keep up the stamina under such a constant outflow cf dissolving flesh-tc nie and invigoranti3 absolutely necessary; and time, that tries all things, has proved that HOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTEBS impart a degree of strength and resistant power to the over-taxed vital forces, which is unattainable by any other known means. The effect of this inestimable vegetable preparation is to increase the appetite, accelerate di? gestion, tone 'he secretive organs, gi ie flnm.ess to the nerves, purify the blood, cheer the spirit3, and, by thus rallying all the forces of the body, enable it to defy thc enervating influence of thc heat, andpass triumphantly through the trying ordeal of fhe sum? mer months. As a safeguard against epidemics, and a preventive of the feebleness, lassitude and rrosti-c* rion, of which so many thc ns ande complain at this season, it has a national reputation founded on twenty-five years of uninterrupted arc! unequalled success._G_July ll US-WHAT IS THE MATTET*.
