Our Waibington Dispute lae*. - WASHES ?TON, July 17.-IN THE SENATE last Dight Senator Hendricks endeavored to recall the bill from the House which removes the po? litical disabilities from the Radical members of the Georgia' Legislature. He spoke very bit? terly of such partisan legislation. . There was a full cabinet meeting to-day, last? ing three hours. <V ' The third party movement is dead. . The credentials of Mesara.- Kellog, Pierce and Buckley, claiming to be representatives from Alabama, were presented and their refer? ence asked. Brooks inquired whether these gentlemen were elected at a one-aided election, r T ; Mr. Dawes said the committee would inquire - ---faithfully into any matters confided to them. \ They simply examined the credentials to ascer? tain if they were-correct, and whether they ' presented aprima facie case. Cullen?, of Illinois; asked if there was any . law to prevent electors from voting on one side if they desired to do so. Brooks replied that he knew of none, but there was a law of Congress prescribing how their elections should be held, and the people of Alabama had hot held their elections in con ' forauty to that law. - The credentials were then referred, to the Committee on Elections. The Funding bill was resumed. Stevens . favored paying the five-twenties in greenbacks, and a wild discussion ensued. Finally, an amendment making but one class of bonds at 3.65 per cent. interest, to run for forty years, was adopted. Without definite action, the bill was postponed. The credentials of the Louisiana representa? tives were duly referred. Is THE SENATE, John Pool and John A. Ab? bott, senators from North Carolina, and Wm. Pitt Kellog, from Louisiana, took their seats. A bill authorizing a temporary three per cent, loan in liquidation of the compound in? terest cotes,, was passed. The ratification of the Howard amendment by Louisiana was read. Tbe Senate then adjourned. The indications are that the Funding bill will fail this session. The Senate is indisposed to agree to ..the House amendment to. the Alaska appropriation hill, by which the House becomes a party to the making of treaties. It is expected that the House will recede from their amendment. The Senate Committee has under considera? tion to-day a bill to build a railroad from Cairo, Blinds, to the Bio Grande. The bill calle, for government aid in the form of a guarantee of bonds; also? bill for a road t *o hundred miles long on the lowlands in Mississippi; also for building levees in the same section. The bills were postponed to the next session. It is un? derstood that General Fremont is at the head of the Cairo and Rio Grande Road. Tbe Strike. . PBTLADELPHZA, July 17.-The strike at the gas works continues. The city will probably be in darkness to-night. Our European Dispatches. [PER ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH, J THE NATURALIZATION QUESTION-TMPOBTANT STATEMENT-TEE TWO NATIONS IN ACCORD. LONDON, July 17.-The Prince 04 Wales and the Duiie of Edinburgh have visited Commodore Farragut's fleet. Farragut has also visited the Queen at Osborne. He will soon sail eastward again. In the House of Commons, last evening, : Lord Stanley, the Foreign Secretary, made an important statement in answer to a question. He said he bad already sent a communication to the United States on the naturalization question, the substance of which was that the1 British Ministry were ready to accept the American view of the matter. He, there? fore, thought any misunderstanding between the two nations was impossible. Lord Stan? ley also stated that he had declined to make any treaty at present, as the Boyal Commission is still considering the general subject, and for the additional reason that time will not permit the passage of a bill for the purpose at the present session of Parliament. The Georgia Legislature. ? ATLANTA, July 17.-The Senate Committee reported that none of tbe senators were ineli? gible. Li the House two members were reported as ineligible. _'_ The Alabama Legialature. . MONTGOMERY, July 17.-Th 3 new Legislature is working ahead.

Bills are pending to allow the Governor to approve the bonds of certain officers, and for these officers to fix the amount of and approve the bond of other officers. Also one official newspaper in each congressional district. The senatorial election will take place next week. General Warner, of Ohio; General Spencer, U. S. A. ; D. C. Humphries, of Alabama, and Grifan, of Chicago, are the prominent candidates. Kfot In Galveston. GALVESTON, July 17.-A riot began on the evening of the 15th, at Milligan, on the Central Railroad. A mob of twenty-five negroes, led by a white Behool teacher and a negro preacher, attempted to hang a man named Halliday. This was prevented by the white citizens, who, headed by the Sheriff and Bureau agent, at? tempted to suppress the mob, which resulted in the death of ten or twelve negroes. On th? 16th the numbers on both sides were increased, and skirmishing occurred during the day. Casualties estimated at twenty-five. A small body of troops arrived late laet night, and dispersed the rioters, killing three negroes. The negroes, about five hundred in number, fortified themselves three miles from Milligan, and refused to lay down their arms. The troops tb en dispersed them. The entire loss of life is acout fifty or sixty. The difficulty is said to bare arisen from a sus? picion that a negro member of the Loyal League bad been hung. This man has been found. _ l ac: W*cather ami the Crops. 8AVAN>'AH, July 17.-The w?ather has been very hot, with several cases of sunstroke, of which tv?) were fat al. The crop reports aie favorable in Southwest? ern and Middle Georgia. Tbe reports are very depressing on account of worms. ATLANTA, July 17.-The weather very hot; the thermometer 100 in the shade. MoNTooxEBX, July 17-The hottest day ever known. The thermometer 104,' with one case of sunstroke. KEW ORLEANS, July 17.-The thermometer to-day 86. It has not been above 90 this season.

SANDUSKY, OHIO, July 17.-The War Depart? ment has ordered that two hundred bodies of Confederate officers, who died at Johnson's Is? land, be removed to the Catholic Cemetery here. The removal commences Monday, un? der direction of a government agent. Railroad Bridge Burnt. ALTOONA (Penn.), July 17_Five spans of the bridge over the Susquehanna River, five miles west of Harrisburg, were burnt. There wae, however, no delay, as the railroad company controls other bridges over the river. A Congressman Missing. WASHINGTON, July 17.-Isaac J. Lash, mem? ber of Congress from North Carolina, is miss? ing. His mail has been coming here for some time, but nothing has been heard of him. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. PROCEEDINGS IN BOTH HOUSES-AN ATTEMPT TO HELP PARKES-THE CONTESTED ELECTIONS A PLU CET SPEECH-THAT PRINTING. [FBOM O CB OWN BEPOBTSBl COLUMBIA, July 17.-In the Senate to-day Randolph (colored) gave notice of a bill to enable those who contract to perform labor to recover their wages. On motion of Mr. Rutland, a committee was appointed to ascertain whether the bonds of the State'Treasurer may not be lessened in amount. Mr. Corbin introduced a bill to regulate ap? peals to the Supreme Court, and a bill to or? ganize the Cir?, t Courts. Mr. Maxwell gave notice of a bill for the in? corporation of the City Savings Bank. The Homestead bill was discussed and pass? ed. A bill validating the laws of the provisional government came up. A long discussion arose and the Senate adjourned. In the Honse a long debate took place on the report of the Committee on Pri. lieges and Elections, reqaesting the House to decide whe? ther the affidavits of the contestants in the case of the Anderson delegation be received. Mr. Moore, one of the Democratic members, made' a long and plucky speech. He told the House that he dared them to ignore the certi? ficates of General Canby and the managers of elections. This produced a great sensation. The Anderson delegates are anxious to se. cure the affidavits of certain witnesses, but the House was unwilling and decided against them. The probability is that they will be ousted. J. W. Donny, of Charleston, is elected State printer.. AD effort was mado to obtain a consid? eration of the lesser bids for the work, but it was ruled ont of order. A large number of members obtained lea of absence, and tbe House then adjourned Monday._ / FURTHER BY MAIL, [mon ons OWN REPORTE* ] THE ELECTION OF SAWYER-WHAT WAS EXPE( ED-HOW MACKEY LAID THE WIRES-THE BI -HURLEY AND THE BMBLPl OF HTS OFFICI ?WHO RTLLBD COCK BOBIN-THE MOURNERS . UNPAID DRAFTS. &0., &0., &0. COLUMBIA, July 17, 1868.-The telegraph b already announced to your readers the electi of Frederick A. Sawyer, Esq. j as United Stat senator for the long term, ending March 4i 1878. The victory which he has thus achiev over his chief competitor, Dr. A. G. Mackey, doubly important from the fact that it not os secures to the people of South Carolina a re resentative who, however much he may difl with them politically, is still a gentleman ai a scholar, bat it breaks down all those ex te sive ramifications of political power which I! Mackey has sought to create and control. Hi the latter succeeded in nia parp?se no oliga chy in Christendom would have been more s vere, and no tyranny more oppressive. Takii only his speeches as evidence of his future i tentions when elected, Sonth Carolina won have been held in an iron grip, sad her peop would have bean doomed to a fate worse th: death to gratify the vengeance and satisfy tl pride of the now disappointed candidat Hence it is that the Legislature itself deve oped an opposition to him which has resol ed in his overthrow; hence it is that there hi been exhibited a degree of Conservative fee ing in one wing of the Radical party whic heretofore was unknown; hence it is that whi and colored alike have recognized the impo tance of elevating to the eenatorship a man r epected by the whole people; and hence it that the Democrats on the floor threw the votes at the last in favor of Mr. Sawyer, bi he ving that, of two evils, it was best to chooi the least, and knowing that, unless they E voted, the election of Dr. Mackey would be t much due to them as if they bad openly ei poused his cause. It appears as if retributn justice had placed in the hands of the litt; band who represent the whit) people of Soul Carolina both the opportunity and the weapo to punish one whose aim and object has bee the subversion of liberty and the degradado of those whom he <so bitterly hated, impugne and denounced. For six months Dr. Mackey has drilled hi party, and prepared them for this contes I With Bowen, Chamberlain, Neagle, Par ker, Cardoza, DeLarge, Ransier, Raine] Dennis and others, he formed " a ring," th influences of which have reached every pett; election in every town and district of the State Boards of Commissioners were created by th Convention, and the public funds manipulate' for the purpose of running the vast machine and the party came to Columbia satisfied tha every wire had been laid and was ready to b pulled. Ice "inner ring" loch up their abod' here in a private house, and with mach thea trical effect hung from the portico the fla( around which the "loyal" men of Charleatoi were wont, iu their dark days, to say theil prayers. Eighty odd voteB were counted ai sure for the first ballot, and confidence reignec supreme. Meanwhile little Timothy Harley, with hi! ! carpet bag, arrived. Tim had been enabbec by Dr. Mackey io the Convention. He was th? ! only member of that body not appointed upor ' a committee. He swore vengeance on thc I spot. He took notes ot all the offensive re marks, improper rulings, and everything else calculated to hurt the feelings of individual delegates. He called upon them, stimulated I their prejudices, raked np old stories, opened old sores, and finally, by mere naked persever? ance, succeeded in building np a party op? posed to Dr. Mackey and bis "ring." After the ?lections he visited every senator and repre? sentative in person at his home, and there renewed his efforts. Mr. Sawyer waB brought forward, and forty men stood pledged to vote for him before-coming to Colombia. This was a part of the contents of Hurley's carpet bag, and when he opened the bndget, the astonish? ment of the opposition can better be imagined than described. Harley worked like a beaver. He found active co-operators in Leslie, Jen:ks, Webb, Stollbrand, Elliott. Pillsbury, and other members of the several delegations. The seed eownin thc Convention began to show fruit. Tho insulted Timothy began to taste the sweets of revenge, and to-day, when the final result was announced, not the successful candidate himself felt or expressed a tithe of the enthusiastic satisfaction to which this pertinacious, pyrotechnic, irrepressible little bunch of energy gave vent. Of coarse, the friends of Dr. Mackey are distressed-deeply so. J. B. Dennis has lost the promised Customhouse; DeLarge mourns over the Charleston Postoffice; Rangier beholds the Surveyor's office receding in dim air; Rainey has given np all idea of filling the post of Col? lector of Georgetown; Bowen looks as blue as if he had already "gone ap the Bpout," and every other member of the party who had been pledged an office or other reward (and it must be confessed they adhered bravely to the fortunes of their leader to the last), exhibits a degree of discomfiture equal to that of a dis? carded lover. ?emebody too ha* suffered in puree. Debts have yet to be paid, for which there has beeD no quid pro quo. I hear that some unfor? tunate fellows received drafts on the Treasu? ry of tho State, and that there ia grumb? ling load and deep at the suspicion that the amount of these I O V 's is to be de? ducted from their pay. Poor deluded fel? lows! Many a one bas b.-on most egre? giously sold. It is evidently worth something to have a vote in this L?gislature, especially einae the price has boen raised. Two dollars and a haif was the sam fixed in the Conven? tion, bat here it has gone up to the most ex? travagant figures. Sawyer men are freely named who have been ottered $200, SHOO, and in one instance $1000, to change their allegi? ance. Bat as the homely saying has it, '-that was a rooster that didn't fight." From first to last not more than two or three who originally voted for Mr. 8awyer abandoned their leader. The scene iu the HOUBO to-day was interest- ' ing. The body convened at ball-past elev-n, and after the presentation of one or two peti? tions of no consequence, awaited the arrival of the Senate. At twelve they made their appear? ance, were assigned to seats in front, aDd the President of the Senate presided over the joint Assembly. The day previous the qnestiou bad been raised by some one in the House as to the right of a senatorio visit any part of the House for the purpose of conference. The Speaker ruled that it was out of order so lo do, the House havmg adopted a resolution forbidding any person but members from occupying the seats of members. ThiB touched the dignity of the Senate, and Senators Allen, of Green? ville, and Randolph, of Orangebnrg, objected in etrong terms to any such ruling. Mr. Whit tem ore said thai chis was a joint Assembly of Sooth Carolina, and its action conld not be circumscribed by either House. The Speaker had no right ta sty where sen? ators might or might not go, orto prevent con? ference be:ween the members of the respective delegations. He was, indeed,. not the head of the body. The Speaker, F. X Hoses, Jr., re? plied that he could not reeogniie any person who addressed the chair excepi as members of the House of Representatives. Then, said Mr. Whitemore, "I address you, Mr. Presi? dent of the Senate, as the orly person from whom we can expect to get a hearing on this floor.1' [Subsequently, in a conference between the two presiding officers it was determined that the President of the Senate should preside over the joint Assembly.] \ Balloting was promptly commenced-the ex? citement great-the back part of the hall crowded with white spectators. The Demo? crats, occupying seats in th? rear and one corner of the hall, watched every m?ncauvre vigilantly, and, as had been previously agreed upon, voted solidly for Hon. J. B. Campbell. Had they done differently Mr. Sawyer would have lost some of his Republican votes, and Mackey would have been elected-?becanse one of the chief weapons used agaiaat Mr. S. in all the speeches and publications of his opponent was that he was a Democrat, Copperhead, rebel, blockade runner, and all sorts of horri? ble things-which a good man; of the ignorant members were willing to believe, especially when uttered with the peculiar emphasis of the ex-president of the Convention. BThe first ballot showed a gain of three or four votes fdr Mr. Sawyer, at the expense of Rev. Mansfield French. The signs were en? couraging, and the President was listened to with breathless attention when he announced as the result : "Whole number voting 152; ne? cessary to a. choice 77, of which Mr. Mackey received 59, Mr. Sawyer 51, Ufr. French 27, and Mr. Campbell 16. [Yesterday there were but 15 vot s for Mr. Campbell, 'oat the arrival of Colonel R. M. Simms, Democrat, this morning, added to the Democratio strength.] At this juncture W. J. Whipper (colored) rose and said that he desired to withdraw the name of Mansfield French, and for the hearty support rendered by the friends of that gentle? man to return his thanks. It was due to Mr. French to state that his name was brought be? fore the body at the earnest solicitation of members, eomc of whom, however, had not given to him that'strength'which he had a right to expect, and hence time was necessari? ly being consumed to Little or no purpose, and the election was being delayed. A long-drawn sigh of relief followed this an. nouncement, and members prepared for the second ballot. This WSB th? "feeler;" but it was evident from the outset that in both the Senate and House? 8awyer bid the heart of a proportion of Frenchmen. The Democrats still voted "Campbell," and the result ?tood: Mackey 68, Sawyer 65, Campbell 15, French 1; neceesary to elect, 76.. i 1 DeLarge called attention to some of the members who had rexusgd to vote, and moved that they be compelled to vote. Senator Donaldson moved to lay that motion on the table, and it was agreed to vociferously. Sawyer stock was now going ap with a bound. It had been whispered through the House that the Democrats, holding the election as they did under their own control, would presently vote for him as a matter of expediency. The deepest interest was accordingly manifested in learning how the manouvre would be received. Major Simms, in the Senate, gave thc cae, and and Bullock and Bryant, in the House, were the first to follow. Doyle, Field, Reith, Hloan and Stewart, in order to be a force in reserve, voted "Campbell" still; but the reeult showed that tho precaution waB unnecessary, ior, of the 149 members voting, Mr. Sawyer received 76 votes and Mr. Mackey bat 68. The number neceesary to a choice being 75, Frederick A. Sawyer was announced by the President to have received a majority, and therefore daly elected United States senator, from South Car? olina for the term ending March 4,1873. The words scarcely escaped the hps of the presiding officer, before the hail was the scene of the wildest confusion, The Sawyerites cheered long and lustily. Wm. J. McKinlay wanted "three cheers for a Republican," and got them, from hiaside of the House. French'e friends desired to have him aleo remembered in the pulmonary disturbance, and hie share was not grudgingly meted oat. Hats flew through the air, arms gesticulated vehemently, voices yelled, and members hugged each other with an energy and industry which, with the thermometer at 102 degrees in the shade, could not have been anything but enjoyable to thoee who are fond of such thinge.^ Shortly after this scene the joint Assembly diseolved, and the two Houses adjourned. As was telegraphed you yesterday, Mr. T. J. Mackey will leave for Washington at once to enter a protest against the admission of Mr. 8awyer to the Senate on the ground that he is not eligible under the law-he having been, according to the allegation, a rebel, a blockade speculator and BO OD. Mr. T. J. Mackey has resigned bis office as Private Secretary to Governor Scott. It is said that Major J. B. Dennie, a Bureau officer and member of the' Eouee, goeB hence to the national capital to aid in proving the state? ment. PERSONNE. DOUBTFUL.-Tbe New York Commercial Ad? vertiser says that Wade Hampton, Forrest, Barksdale, Preston. Fairfax, Forsyth, Yerger, and other di6tinguiBhed Democrats of the Sonth, are to Btump the Northern States against Grant and Colfax. -Speaking of the Democratic members of the so-called Legislature of this State, the Colum- I bia Phcen:x says : "The course pursued by j these gentlemen in the recent election wi IL meet with the hearty approval of their fellow citizens throughout the State. To vindicate principle they voted, to a man, for H m. B. F. Perry and Hon. J. B. Campbell; but, finally, when the contest was narrowed down to Mr. Mackey and Mr. Sawyer, the majority of the Democratic members voted for him whom they regarded as likely to do least injury, and thus elected Mr. Sawyer. But in voting for Mr. Saw? yer it is not, of course, to be thought that they nave any sympathy whatever with his political views. They have not. They meant by their votes simply that, in their opinion, Mr. Saw ?" er was not so objectionable as Mr. Mackev. ut8ome of the Democratic members went further, and placed themselves upon etill higher ground. T?ese gentlemen determined to vote for neithet. Th6y beb'eved in neither, and they would vote for neither. Those whjvoted to the last for the Democratic nominees were Messrs. Keith and Doyle, of Oconee; Mr. Sloan, nf Anderson; Mr. Stewart, of Lancaster; Mr. Field, ol Bickens." -The Edgefield Advertiser says : "And now let us all to work with a will-with Seymour and Blair as our standard bearers-all hands making a long pull, a etrong pull, and a pull altogether, and down goes military despotism, negro supremacy, freedmen's bureaus, and all the other infernal abominations nnd unconsti? tutional usurpations of the Radical party." POLI X 1 CA L . WHAT IS SAID IN WASHINGTON. THE-POSITION OF ME. CHASE. THE GERMANS FOR BLAIR AND SEYMOUR. ATTACKS UPON THE NEXT PRESIDENT, ?ca, kc, kc . The Washington correspondence of tbe New York Tribune contains the following wild re? port: Rumor has it that Mr. Seymour, while the Convention was in session, consulted his phy? sicians upon the advisability of his accepting the nomination in case it should be tendered to bim, and that they unanimously protested against it and advised him to decline. They thought that the cares and anxieties incidental to the campaign and to the Presidential office, in the'eveut oz his election, must be extremely dangerous to his health, and might possibly result fatally. THE CHINESE TBEATT. Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Times, under date of the 14th instant, says : The Chinese treaty, the substance of which was given in these dispatches last night, was before the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela? tions this morning for consideration, and it waa substantially agreed upsn. Mr. Sumner will prepare one or two amendments, and it will be reported to the Senate for action within a day or two. Tbe treaty, in brief, may be consider? ed the opening wedge to the admission of China to the family of enlightened nations. Its prin? cipal feature is, that it recognizes China as a nation, to whom we are to accord inter? national rights and obligations, and in that respect is a matter of more importance to China than to ns, since this country is very willing to accord such recognition, while France and England have been backward in that respect. The treaty further recognizes the right of the Chinese Empire to the integri? ty of its own territory, by providing that no system of internal improvements shall be forced upon her without the consent of the Emperor. It recognizes the principles of reli? gious toleration, the right of emigration and immigration and of allegiance, and a reciprocal provision regarding schools and education, it contains no commercial provisions, as was at first reported, and is looked upon here as pre? liminary to other and more important negotia? tions hereafter, when the principles of the pre? sent treaty shall have been recognized by ?be leading powers of Europe THE POSITION OF MB. CHASE. Ihe Washington correspondent of the New York Herald gives the following Delphic para? graph concerning Mr. Chase : Chief Justice Chase declared to-day to a Western friend that while be could not person? ally accord with the resolution against the Re? construction acts, and behoved that the pres? ent constitutions South ought to stand till changed by tbe people of each State, all voting, yet he was a Democrat, a State Rights Demo? crat, and in full sympathy with the Democratic party. THE GEB MANS AND TBE NOMINATIONS. A very largely attended meetintr of the gene? ral committee of the German Democratic Union party ot New York was held on Tuesday even? ing. Oswald Ottendorf er, Esq., editor of .the Staate Zeitung, presiied; A. Gottmann, Esq., secretary. After brief speeches, the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That we heartily endorse tbe nominations of the Democratic National Con? vention, and that we shall do all in oar power to secure the election of Horatio Seymour, the foremost mau in the ranks of the Democ? racy of the '. Impire State." and of Francis Preston Blair, tte brave and gifted warrior of ibe Union. Resolved, That we consider a perfect under? standing to exist between the platform of tba Democracy, adopted at the last Convention, and tbe principles of the nominees, and we are satisfied that their election will rid the people of tho burdens and woes which have befallen them since a corrupt Radical party has taken charge exclusively of the national affairs. Resolved, That in our sincere belief a con? tinuation of the prevalence of tbe Radical parry must unavoidably lead to the ruin ut the credit and welfare of the country, and its happiness and progress, and that we consider it an im? perative duly io put an end vo RucUcdl Republi? canism for all time to como. ATTACKS ON OOVSKNOB SSrMOUB. . The New York Sun notes tb o fact that some of its Republican contemporaries attempt to prejudice tho prospects of the Democratic ticket by intimating or asserting that Governor Seymour is of eo delicate a constitution Hat the duties of the Presidency will break down tho balance of his mind and make him insane. In that event, as Senator Nye bas asserted, General Blair would become President, and at once carry ont bis programme of anarchy and bloodshed. The Sun very justly says : This appears to ns a very improper mode of political warfare, which must recoil upon those who employ it. It seems designed to wound private feelings rather than to advance any leiritimate purpose. Governor Seymour is now tifty-seven years old. He bas been many years in pnblic life; he has repeatedly been Governor of New York, an office whose discharge exer? cises quite as great a strain upon the nervous system and tbe mental faculties as that of the Presidency. In this station, and in every other, Governor Seymour-lias exhibited capaci? ty andsic:dinees which have given him a great reputation as a statesman. There has been nothing in his public career to justify this bug? bear of possible insanity. THE LAST RADIC AL DODGE. PAIL tl BE OF THE TBTBD PABTT SCHEME-COL? LAPSE OP THE WHJLE APPA IE-THE MOVE? MENT COMES TO A DEAD HALT. As we anticipated the last Radical bubble has burst, and what wae called the 1;third party movement/' and was intended te divide and distract the National Democracy, has proved as ignominious failure. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing on the 14?b, says : There is very little speculation to-night con ceraing the third party, and the whole thing, if it ever bad any strength, bas utterly col- ! lap;ed. Chief-Justice Cbase gives it no coun? tenance whatever, and is not a party to the movement. The third party men are sore? heads from both parties, whose only aim is office and self-advancement. They'eec no future gain in either Grant or Seymour, and as a matter to be expected they want a third candidate. Nothicg is definitely known of the views of the Chief-Justice on the subject cf third candidate. The New* York Herald, of Wedneeda1, says j editorially: There aro various rumors afloat from Wash? ington that certain Democratic liberals who do not like Seymour, and certain Republicau Con? servatives who do not like to play tecond fid? dle to the Radicals, have been sounding Mr. Chase upon the proposition to run him as a third party candidate, and that he has no ob? jection to the movement. We guess, however, that this is a Republican device to kiH off both Chase and Seymour by knocking their beads together, and that the Chief Justice has no notion of going into such a profitless conflict. By holding off he may come up as the very man of ail men for the crisis in 1872, and this, we doubt not, is bis decision upon the subject. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times is more emphatic, for a wonder. He writes on the 14th as follows : Tho third party movement talked of in eorac of the papers has no foundation save in the wishes ol'a few ot tho diBajjpointed friends of Mr. Chase and Mr. Johnson. Some corr es pon- ' dents in that interest are giving currency to ! rumora on the subject as 60 many iacis. uen. Thomas Ewing, Jr., whose name has been mentioned in connection with the movement, authorizes the statement that he supports the regular Democratic nominees cordial] j. Here is a significant paragraph from the New York correspondence of the Philadelphia Ledger : That third party talk may as well be pat down as at an end. A New York politician, who thought something might come of it, after an interview with Judge Chase, bas returned from Waehington. He does not say what the result was, but a snake of the head tells the whole story quite as emphatically as words could do. The New- York Commercial advertiser says: We learn from Washington that the third party movement, started to crowd Seymour off the track and crowd Chase on, has fizzled ont. The Chief Justice encouraged the movement until he discovered that it was a dead failure, when be paddled ont and declared that al? though the Democratic platform was not exact? ly the thing, still be was a States Bights Dem? ocrat nevertheless notwithstanding. Deluded Chief Justice. Humiliated Chase. There is no rest for the wicked. . POLITICS IN THE STATE. -In Andereon District Democratic clubs have been formed for Broadway Bear, and at Dark Corner. f -The Yorkville Enquirer saya': "A duty is now before ne. We must strive to cast the vote of South Carolina for Seymour and Blair, at the November election. It is possible to ac? complish such a purpose, it our people delibe? rately and determinately go to work in the right way. " -The Sumter Watchman heartily approves of the Democratic platform. In concluding a stirring editorial it says: "Let oar people now arouse themselves to tbe issue-shake ofi in? difference and despondency. This, with all its misfortunes and degradation, is still our coun? try; and every instinct of manhood and patriot- ~ ism prompts ns to do valiantly in its de? fence." -A correspondent of the Phoenix says: "The Rev. Valentine Yoong, a staunch Democrat, was elected to the Senate from this (Abbeville) District, by an overwhelming Radical majority. For this reason.ho refuses to take bis seat, and bas so published the fact. The Rev. R. M. Valentine, too, I see, has taken his seat as a representative from this District. He was a worthy free negro ante-bellum, and has borne the character of an honest Democrat "since freedom." -The Winnsboro' News carries the names of Seymour and Blair at the head of its columns. It speaks as follows of the "bayonet" bonds now proposed: "The tax-payers have but to speak oat, and their bonds will not bring five cents on the dollar. Credit, eave Governor Scott, who bas speculated largely in South Ca? rolina State bonds, 'is the life of a State.' If so, there is not much life in our present bayo? net-born negro government. Still JesB life will there be in its bonds. Ab 1 Governor, yon have done a good and sore thing, for we wiil malte good the bonds yon have bought. But be as wise as a common man for once, and don't touch your own paper. A sensible man, and a prudent, should cet other people and not himself to take bis own paper, because be knows it to be dangerous." -At a meeting of delegates from the differ? ent Democratic clubs of Abbeville District, hel? on Monday last, tbe following resolutions were adopted: 1. That we have seen with pa? triotic joy the reunion of the Democracy of each and a'l the States in the late convention in the city of New York. And in the harmony of its councils. We recognize those men of clorions success in the approaching presiden? tial election. 2. That we cordially approve and ratify the nomination of Horatio Seymour as the candidate of the Democratic party for President, and of Francis P. Blair for Vice President. 3. That we pledge' om* resolved and determined endeavor to bring Sonth Caro? lina into the ranks of the Democracy of the Union, and that we confidently hope to achieve a signal victory over the bitter hosts of radi? calism, and of ridding oar good old State from their vandal hand. -The Georgetown Times says in regard to the Democratic nominations : "On Saturday, when the news of the nomination of Seymour and Blair reached oar town, it was really pleas? ant to see the smiles and happy faces of many of our citizens, while across the Bay-street two 'large United States flaps waved in the breeze, on one of which was inscribed : 'The country will be safe in the bands of Horatio Seymour and F. P. Blair.' We congratulate tbe country, and more particularly oar own oppressed and tyrannized South, on the re? organization of a party that bas been so long divided-a party that knowB no North, no South, no East, no West, but determined to battle for the reconstruction of that constitu? tion which has been so long lost to the country of a Washington and a Jefferson-to protect the inferior race while we ara determined to maintain the Bapremacy of the superior." -The Sumter Watchman speaks thus of the message of Ex-Go v. Orr: "It were better pro ! bably for Gov. Orr and others of the State who I seem to occupy a eort of go-between position who bave nor connected themFelves with the Democratic party and who are not yet avowed Radicals-to declare .themselves on the side to ! which they belong-we mean to take their t place in the Radical ranke. Such a coarse would be more eatiefactory to both parties. The Democratic party, in the time to come, will never affiliate with or tolerate thf? men who, m this trying crisis, abandon their own race, the constitution, the country, and all that-ip hon? orable and sacred, to the mercy of the miser? able rabble now in authority. And those who, ocenpying positions as public men in the past, have no heart now to engage, and engace man? fully, with us in the effort to throw off tbe de? bauched and odious tyranny under which we now struggle, cannot be recognized except in a poeition against us. The issue is a most vital one-one involving too much that is dear and sacred to be trifled with. Those who are not with us now, must be against us." -The Chester Standard floats the names of Seymour and Blair at its masthead. It says : * To insure the success of oar ticket every good Democrat must 'put his shoulder to the wheel,' and exert ali bis powers of mind and muscle. There must bc- no lukewarmness, no bringing to the surface old issues and reviving the pre? judices of other days-all must push and poll together. As was the action of the Convention so let the people act. We must stand united, or defeat ia certain ! If beaten in tho approach? ing contest all is lost-Democracy will have mado its last fight, and the Goddess of Liberty no longer wear her cap of freedom. Let 'Union, energy and action' be the watchword, and the Radical shackles now binding the limbs of the American people will cease to oppress, and Democracy stand forth triumphantly vindicat? ed in the election of Seymour and Blair. We can and must carry the old Palmetto State. Aye. and old Chester with her heavy Radical . niority must be brought into the Democratic .old. With energy, action, union and a good cause to back ns. there is nothing to prevent ft. Already we have the wealth and intelligence of the district on our tide, agents which, when thoroughly aroused and properly directed, never fail to comma?d success io a righteous undertaking."
