To the favorable result of the 1 .tte war his skill and energy largely contributed. His foreign policy has been successful, and hope tires when all chances of domestic and foreign strife have disappeared. He must naturally, wish, in common with Lord Stanley, to termi? nate before retiring from office a dispute of all the details of which he is master. The con? vention, is especially important, because at a time when national jealousies weaken confi? dence it establishes a freer precedent for a re? sort to arbitratrion, instead of war, for the set? tlement of diff?rences."'

ROOMS STATE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, ) CHARLESTON, November 15,1868. j The undersigned would inform the friends and supporters of Mr. Pillsbury, and those voted for by the Republican party as Alder? men at the late election, that if Mr. Pillsbury and the Board ot Aldermen reported to have been elected are declared to have been legally elected by those in whose hands the case now is, and undergoing investigation, he, Mr. Pills? bury, and the said board, can qualify and be in? ducted into office the Monday succeeding such declaration, even if it be two weeks or two months from the time they were voted for. It is unnecessary for me or tho Republican party to argue the question whether or not the City Council ought to have entertained the pro? test. The City Council, representing at least the de facto city government, have assumed jurisdiction over the case. It must bj'as? sumed that they know their duties under the law. It ought to be assumed that as Council is composed of men of character and intelli? gence, a majority of whom sympathize with the Republican party, if not actually identified with it, justice will be done and the law vindi? cated, whatever the opinions of individuals in either party might be, or the counsels of who advise that of which they know nol and a course of action in which they ma; expect to participate, and which intel! men, whoever they.may be, must condemi It is becoming, Rb publica ns-it is impc that you should quietly await the decision that you Bhould abide by it. Each pa struggling for the mastery io this contesi woe be unto that party which shall go outsi the law to accomplish its ends. Each has pi tently sought to deny th? other representa each has sought to have exclusive control it likely that Republicans would coalesce i they were not consulted, they too being ii majority? Is it reasonable that those ha in the most part the intelligence and w< would gracefully yield the government of thi to those whom they deem incomp?tent knew to be exclusive ? No! both contended i fally; both did what they believe I to be t duty, viewed from their several staadpo j Let both now abide the issue. God wiR al' prosper tho right. My impressions are those whom the law authorized to declare election in the first instance ought to i done so upon tho returns of tho managers, then let those who desired to contest thc s of one or more of the party declared to be ( t?d file their protest before their install?t A different view was taken, and 1 am satis to abide the results. But, Republicans, I that mpre after all depends upon the peac comrie of conduct of every citizen of eil party than upon the decision of Council, wi decision must bc either that there was no li election at all, or that one of the two cai dates was duly elected, in which latter case my opinion, the decision \must be that Hon. G. Pillsbury was legally elected Mayo Charleston for the next three years. Very respectfully, A. J. RANSLER, Chairman S. C. Ex. Con A COLORED MAN TO THE COLOR. PEOPLE. The following articles, taken from thc i sionary Record of Saturday, will, we hops, read by every white man, as well as ev colored mau in Charleston. They will sh the colored people what they must do to pr per, and prove to the whites that all which I colored people can properly desire they n freely and consistently give: WHAT IS TSE EE. iL DOTI OF THE COLORED il JU THE SOUTH UNDER THE PRESENT CLRCl STANCES? Within the past week we have been the st ject of abuse by our own race more bitte than we ever could have conceived. Wh< three years ago, we came to this city to occu the position of an humble missionary, wo c tered into the work of instructing our race what we regarded as of the most vi importance to their well-being. Wo e tered upon the work of preparing th< mind to enjoy freedom as we understand Freedom to enjoy all the rights and immui ties of citizens. We were aware that thc pe pie had jost emerged from bondage and ige rance. We know that uo white man, North South, could feel for fiem as wo who are bo of tboir bone, and flesh of their flesh, ai therefore bound to them by ties which could 1 severed only by death. Wc wore aware tbs flushed with the new born idea of liberty, thi might go uro excesses, which would do the more harm than good. Wc addressed ours el vi to the task of guiding thom in tho path < Ee icc, and at the same timo maintain the onor and dignity. We knew that two races were hero who he been educated differently, and, of course, wc: unprepared for this now change. The white; who had boen tho masters, could not broc the liberation of their slaves with calmnesi would hava their peculiar views, and would e: hibit their feelings on all occasions. We kne also that the colored people could not possibi understand all the momentous questions whic would arise in the course of reco .structic and the political changes which were takia place in our 0 Jun try. Hence wo departe from our strictly ministerial work and becam interested in their political education and eic vation. We have sought to respect tho pr? judices. of the white while we allaye tho murmurings of the colored people we have been earnest in defending the. manhood against all attempts to wron them by any class of men from thc North o from tho South. We have stood in tho brcac and amid the hottest of tho ii s ht ; we hav lived to see the establishment of tho law r jtiBtice to all men by the election of U. E Grant, and thc sanction of thc whole Dation t the policy of reconstruction. Having see: this, we feel that our mission is ended in th political arena so far as parties are concerned We now stand as a citizen, identified witl South Carolina as such, and bowing to thi supremacy of the United States. We belicv now that the colored people in this State ough to turn their attention to business, to th' agricultural and industrial pursuits of life We believe that the colored men in thc Sout] should now seek the friendship o? thc whites We are all free and equal before the law, ant that is as much as auy reasonable mau cat wish; we know that the whites havo the stipe rior advantages over us in this country; we knov that in the contest between the two races th? whites will be tho victors; we know that om race cannot compete with them now, if ever Tho \vhitc3 have government, countty, law commerce, and all thc superior means of civil I zation; they aie superior in numbers and intel? ligence. We ace but coming out of Egypt, anc are po ir, ignorant, helpless, and we need th< helping hand of the whito race to assist us tc rise up to honor and distinction. It is men folly for tho colored people in thc South to sa> that the whites cannot live without them; cap? ital and labor must go together, or neither car. flourish. We cannot succeed while we disre? gard the mutual obligations which exist ba tween both races. The poor man must depend on the rich for employment; the rich, by theil superior education and position, create basic ess for themselves and give employment to the la? borer. Colored men of the South, it is time we were taming our attention to other duties than fol? lowing the lead of irresponsible politicians. Your wives' and children's interest demands your attention. You should secure land, be? come tax-payers and industrious citizens. The whole country have their eyes on you to soe how you conduct yourselves with tho freedom bestowed, and if you make bad use of it you will be the sufferers. Be warned in time, and securo your own peace. E. H. CAD, AS A DEMOCRAT. Friends of .progress, we have lately been clothed by our colored brethren in Charleston in a new dress. We cut a beiutiful figure. Just think of it-a Black Republican Radical changing his nature in one night. Now let us relate the process by which we were changed. The Municipal election was drawing near, the citizens of both races were considering the best mcde by which to meet tb* wants of the city, and satisfy all parties. The Democrats put forth their c\ndidates, but found that thev could not harmonizo the conflicting interests*; they saw that if they run a straight Demo? cratic ticket that the Republicans would do the same, and the result would be defeat. They know that this would pince iu the Citv Council a class of men, however honest and well meaning, yet they would ba such as had had little experience in public affairs men who could not bring to bear that wealth and monied influence which is necessary in a great commercial city like Charleston. They, in order to conc?iate, withdrew their patty fines and nominated a Citizens' ticket, but their great mistake was that they did not put on their ticket any colored men. R. H. Cain saw that if there were not some concessions by both parties that thero would be such ajclcc tion as would, in his judgment, defeat tnfp-eal welfare of the city and of the poor people. Feeling that, now the Republican party was1 victorious, it was tho most befitting time for the colored people to make some reasonable concessions to the whit ;s, irasmnch as colored men held the majority vote in the city, and could elect all their candidates with the aid of whito Republicans. Knowing that the old and respectable citi? zens did feel that they ought to have some share in thc city government, and knowing that I if a good number of them were m the Council, that they would not see the city's character go down under any Mayor who might be elected, but would sustain it at all hazards, he, in an art;cle in his paper of the 7th, did suggest a compromise between the parties and a fusion of the two tickets by a committee from both parties, and thus form a "Citizens' Union Ticket" for Aldermen, and then let each party elect their choice for Miyor if they could. This was the plan set forth. The appearance of worJs of concession in the Record prompted the gentlemen of the Citizens' party to send for Mr. Cain, in order to hear any suggestions or plan by which a settlement and understand? ing might b9 effected, so as to have a good and safe city government, in which all could unite for the general good. In the interview between the parties, the gentlemen of the Citizens' Committee pledged that they were willing to give the colored people the best assurance that they were their friends, and were anxious to show it by being able to give them one-half of all the public work in the city if they were elected. Mr. Cain stated to them that he thought that it was too late to effect anything now, but if these gentlemen of the committeo would give the colored people thesj assurances, he believed that it would have a very happy effect in allaying the feel? ing of the colored people and pave the way to a better state of affairs in the city. He pledged his word that he would read their declarations to the people in his congregation, but could not pledge them any votes because he could not control that matter. The committee of the Citizens' pa-ty met that night and prepared the preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted and sent to Mr. Cain; be rend them to his con? gregation, and left the people to make their own choice. He fulfilled his promise made as an honorable man; he did not tell the people to vote for any sp.cit.' candidate, but said to them to do as they felt for their interest. He read his own article pnblished in his paper, and commented on it. Now for this his own people have branded him os having deserted his people and turned a Democrat and sold them out. This is the whole matter in a nut-shell; and for this the colored people have denounced him as a traitor and de? ceiver. Men, women and children have cursed him in the streets. For six days they have threatened to burn his houee down and to murder bim in the streets. Such is the class of people for whom he has labored for four years. Such is the gratitude which thc new-born citizens of Charleston bestow upon those who bravo all dangers for their good. He can afford to wait till these people, who are led astray by their pretended friends, shall have time to cool down; till they shall see tho folly of such a course-their families in want, house rent due, and no money to pay it. Then they will remember words of counsel and wis? dom. R. H. Cain has determined not to be false to his principles or to his race. He knows that the white men of the South are able to do more real good to the colored people here than can be done by any other class of men. He knows that if the colored people are not employed hy? the whites, in this city and State, that they wi 1 have no employment. He knows this question is one vital to their families. He knows that here tftey must live. Let the colored men re? member this, and act wisely for their own good. The .Municipal Elections. The following additional returns have been received : tOBE VILLE.

From the time ot Galen to a comparatively very recent date, lt was supposed that, in order to euro a disease, it was necessary to weak? en tho already enfeebled patient by artificial means. Bleeding, blistering, violent purgation and salivation were the main reliance of the faculty, not more than fitly years ago. Restoratives were only administer? ed ai supplementary ugents, after thc lancet, can tharide*. jalap and calomel had done their depleting work. Modern science has effected a salutary re? form in medical treatment In place ol the nauseous doscB once administered in capes of indigestion, bil? iousness, constipation, tick headache, nervousness, intermittent fever, &c , HOSTETTLR'S SIOMACH BITTERS are now eiven with the utmost confidence and the happiest resulte. Ihc reascn way this ad? mirable botanical preparation his superseded the debilitating poisons of thc old materia medica are tliese: it combines the properties ?1 a wholesome toaic with those of a gentle cathartic, an anti-bilious agent, a nervine, and a blood d?purent. Thus, while it ko:ps the bowels free, regulates the liver, and purifies the current of life, it sustains the physi? cal strength of the invalid, and by this means thc ex? pulsion of disease and thc restoration of constitu? tional vigor go on together. At this seaton, when intermittent and remittent fevers, with other complaints arising from a damp, mephitlc atmosphcro, arc prevalent, a cenrso of tho BIT 1 EUS is the best means of protecting thc system from an attack. 6 November 16 OS- NOriCE.-APPLICATION WILL BE made at thc next meeting of the Legislature for a re. newal of the Charter of the Charleston bible Society J.
