Tho jury returned J1 a verdict in her favor to the amount of ten tbouaand dollars. -TheWasbingtou correspordout of tho 8a- t * yannan Republican writes : ' It was tbe inten- t tiou of General Grant to have included Gener? al Sickles in his assignment of new commaud ders to the military distneta of tho South, and return that, old officer to his old quarters at Charleston. But the South Carolina members of Congress, assisted by several members from North Carolina, eu tere-such an earnest t protest against it that Grant has postponed t the matter for further consideration. But if t Sickles is at all desirous of assisting Grant in t his measures of revenge on Andrew Johnson's i policy, I have no doubt but that ho will bo sent i back to Charleston, notwithstanding tho pro- i teBt above referred to." t -Thurlow Weed's paper, ihe New York Com- i mercHl Advertiser, says : " There is no dis- f guising tho fact that Grant's Cabinet is uot ac- 1 coptable to the extremo meu of tho party, t There are but two pronounced Radicals in tho t Cabiuet-Messrs. Wubhburnc und Cresswell, t Mr. Alexander T. Stewart waa never identified f with the Radical party. H: acted with tho o Philadelphia movement. General Cox was li outspoken against tho extremo men of hts pw- t ty, and openly opposed the negro suffrage v movement in his own State. His nomination v is not acceptable to tho Radical party I of Ohio. Tho united effort on tho part t of the opposition to Mr. Stewart to placo Mr. t "Boutwell, ?^Massachusetts, who is recognised h at? one of the Rad cal leaders in Congress, fur- o trishes ground of^uspicion that tho extreme c men of the party aro doterminotl to have a y pronounced Radical and Protectionist at tho a head of tho rreasury Department. Le:tdiii;r t jtentlemen at Washington believe that in ordor t .16 pWfierve the unity and harmouy of tho s ^Jty, the Secretary ot tho Treasury should be t in accord with the nujonty in Congress. Mr. \ Stewart is not only regarded unsound on suf? frage, bat on the tariff question. Heuce comes 1 the opposition." i onada papers give some particulars ot 1 ihe shooting of Ensisn Whittaker, of the i British army, by youog Cbai?ner, in Montreal, 1 on Wednesday or last week. Whittaker se- I -daoed Miss Chaloner last August, after having t first pat her under tho influence of chloroform. 1 A few weeks ago ba promised to marry ber to < 4WT? her from disgrace, but" subsequently re- ? fused. Her father then went to a justice of ihe peaco and instituted a suit against Whit? taker for rape. The girl waa sent for. and her imposition was ta!:en. While this waseroing DU, tho brother enlered, and leaned for thc tirst time of his sister's disgrace. Ho immediately lett and armed himself with x revolver, and learning that Ensign Whittaker xvaa at the- Skating Kink, went there ar.d Oreel a shot at bim, saying at thc same time, "You know what thnt WHS for.'' The first sKot missed, and ^s thc officer was nuking a rush towards him to seize thc re? volver, he fited again, thc b.:ll entering the temple. Chalmer was immediately arrested, and now lies in jail. Naturally thc nff.nr has caused great excitement, but thc almost unani? mous verdict is that tito officer was served right. Thc Cbaloner family are highly respect? able, and tho son is not of a quarrels ?nie dis? position, aud is but sixteen years ol ago. En? sign Whittaker entered the Fifty-third Foot in ISCo, aud is a fine-looking young mau of twen? ty-two years. At last accounts ho was still alive, but insensible. The biain oozes from tho wound, and recovery is impossible. CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 12, 1SG9. 1'he Election in the Fourth Congres? sional District. At the general election held in the Fourth Congressional District of South Carolina in November last, the Hon. W. D. Simpson, the Democratic candidate, was elected, de? feating A. S. Wallace, the Radical candi? date, by 4291 votes. At the same time, in each of the three judicial disticts into which the Fourth Congressional District is*divi? ded, a County Solicitor was elected. In each case the Democratic candidates were successful, having about the same majority which was given to Mr. Simpson. The correspondence between the majori? ties given in the counties for County Solic? itor with the majorities given in the same counties for Congressman, proved that there was no fraud for the exclusive advantage of Mr. Simpson. If there was fraud for one there was fraud for all; but no objec? tion whatever has been made to the County Solicitors, who qualified without opposition and are now discharging the duties of their offices. And, in truth, thje interests of the Radical candidates should have been ex? cellently well protected. In each county there were three Commissioners of Election, who were appointed by Governor Scott, whose Radicalism is not doubted; and these Commissioners appointed three Managers for each election precinct. Wherever it wa9 practicable the majority of the mem? bers of the Boards of Commissioners nnd Mauogers were Radicals, so that the frier.ds of the Radical candidate had every oppor- I (unity of meeting on the spot any illegal or fraudulent act on the side of the Demo? cratic candidates. But no complaint or protest wns made by any one. The Man? agers made their reports to the Conwnis aioners and the Commissioners to the State Canvassers; and yet no word was said of anything improper having taken place. The State Canvassers-all, we believe, Re? publicans-declared Mr. Simpson duly elected, and furnished him'with a certifi? cate of his election. Then it was that Wallace, the defeated Radical candidate, plucked up heart of grace and announced his determination to contest the election. ? vigorous attempt was made to hunt up good strong evidence, and Wal? lace published his grounds of protest. This pretest dealt largely in generalities. It iid discuss the ineligibility of Mr. Simpson under the Fourteenth Constitutional amend? ment, an ineligibility which is not doubtful, as Mr. Simpson was a member of the State Legislature before the war, and a lieuten? ant-colonel in the Confederate army, and a member of the Confederate Congress du? ring the war. But, beyond this, the charges are more vague accusations against the people of the district than specific proofs that Mr. Simpson was improperly eleoted. Ihe friends of Mr. Simpson busied them? selves in his defence, and are preparing positivo evidonoe to rebut the charges of the contestant. Mr. Simpson himself an? swered, in a paper which is before us, the statement made by Wallace. Mr. Simpson reviews tho whole of thc protest, disproving methodically and thor-1* >ughly its every specification. In regard .0 some particular instances of alleged r&ud, Mr. Simpson says : "As to thc matters embraced in charges lumbered in contestant's protest from eight to wenty-four, inclusive, in which it is alleged hat lurg" quantities of arms were imported nto Unica County and other couuties, lo be isod to intimidate electors; that armed bodies )f men patrolled said couuties; that threats of riolence were made; that houses wore broken )pon; that the colored velors were shot at tnd driven from their homos; thflt said dec? ors wore prevented from exercising tho clcc iive franchise and especially from depositing .heir votes for thc contestant; that aimed ?eu attended at thc precincts; that ballots vere opened sod changed by tho friends Aid >artisans of the undersigned; thai barrooms vero kc?pt opon ou thc day of tho election; hat the managers of election precincts, and n certain counties, wore not sworn; '.osi tho henel* and supporters of tho contestant were ireveuted from roting on thc pretence that heir names could not bo found un 'Jiu regis ration books; that ballots cast lor oilier par? ies than tito undersigned wore yet counted or him; that persona who would roto th-j Dciu icratic ticket au l for tho undersigned were al jwed to vote whether registered orno:; ;hat bo student ! of Lutheran College at Walhalla, rhcthcr residents or not, were permuted to ote; that all theso means weio resorted to ty tho fien Is and partisans of tho under iguod for tbe purpose ot illegally influencing he election in belia!!' ot tho undersigned, and iv these moms numbers of pe rs ms in etch f saiit counties, who would have voted for tho ontesiant, were Lojit away troni tito [oils an;' irevontcdfrom casting their votes for him, tut that numbers of illegal votes were scented ry tho managers for the undersigned, som.1 oe ticm being deposited by said managers thein olves and by other purtles, who wore allowed o act as managers, especially ut one of tho urecincts at Uniou Courthouse "The undersigned stales that ho has denied laving any knowledge in re furo nco to these rarious charges and all others therein era naced, if any bc loft out iu tho above uiiu neration; but in simply denying personal, tnowledtro ho does not wish to lie understood bat ho thereby makes an implied admission hat said chargea may b3 true; on tho contrary, 'rom such information a* he ha's b-'on ablo tn obtain since, the protest of the contestant was ?erved upon him, he fools authorized to say that they are all fa'se and slanderous upon tho people of tho soveral counties embraced in thc faicl Fourth Congressional District and upon tho manag ors who conducted thc election on thc 3d day of N ;vombcr, A.D. 1868, and tho undersigned denies the truth of said chaises, ono and all, and he demands of tho contestant thc i roof." This proof will never he given: for not only is it our conviction that Mr. Sitnpetn was legally circled, aud can prove it before tiny imp irtial tribunal, but a.lso that his majority wcul l have been much larger but for the intimidations practiced by thc fr.ier.ds of Wa'luce, which gave that person twelve or fifteen hundred colored volc9 which otherwise would not have been cast at all, or would nave been cast rn the Dem? ocratic bide. Mr. Simpson also pays back Wallace in his own coin, in regard to ineligibility; for while he is uuble to take his seat until his disabilities are removed, he may, in regard to Wallace, find it necessary "to offer proof "aB to the disabilities of the contestant un "der the Four!eenlh Amendment, as to his "accepting office in violation of the provis? ions of that amendment; as to his encour? aging acta of illegality and violence on "the part of his friends and partisans to "secure his elcctioD; as to fraudulent votes "cast for bim, and other illegal acts by "himself and supporters, to so overcome, "control and manage the colored voters, in "said Fourth Congressional District, so aB to "compel them, if possible, to cast their votes "en masse for him, without knowiug for "whom they were voting, or understanding "anything whatever as to the import of "their act." We have called attention to some of the leading facts of this important contest, not more to show the solid ground upon which rest the claims of Mr; Simpson, than to urge the Democracy of Union, Ocon.ee, Picken-, Greenville, Laurens, Spartanbur , York and Chester, to be diligent in procur? ing what evidence may be required to dis? prove every shallow assertion which Wal? lace has ventured to make. This it is nec? essary to do, even if it is a foregone con? clusion on the part of Congress to refuse Mr. Simpson his seat. We may not be able to make the United States House of Repre? sentatives act more fairly in our case than it has done in tho^case of others; but it is our dufy to accumulate proof, to gather to? gether testimony, so that it may be made evident to the whole country that Congress is not rejecting our candidate because he is illegally elected, but because he is a Demo? crat, and for that reason alone. Whatever the odds may be against us we must not give up the fight; and if we persevere we may yet see Mr. Simpson and Mr. Reed take the seats in the Congress of the Uni? ted States to which, by law, they are en? titled. Tbc A eiV Deal. President Grant has changed the wholo complexion of his Cabinet. In the place of Mr. Washburne, who is nominated as Minister to Franue, we have, as Secretary of State, the lion. Hamilton Fish, of New York. This is a change for the better. Mr. Fish was a member of the legislature of New York, his native State, as early as 1837, and was in Congress from 1843 to 1845. He was elected Governor of New York in 1848, and was United Stater senator from 1851 to 1857. Mr. Fish is a gentleman of acknowledged ability and great personal integrity, and will be far more at home in the State Department than Mr. Washburne will be in the gilded salons of Paris. Th* Hon. George S. Boutwell, of Massa? chusetts, nominated as Secretary of tho Treasury in the place of Mr. Ste wart,.began life as a farmer, and since 1842 has been continuously in political life. He was Gov? ernor of Massachusetts in 1851 and 1852,' and was elected to Congress in 18G2. Mr. Boutwell is one of the bitterest and ablest Radicals in Congress. To him conciliation . and compromise are meaningless words, and his earnestness of character, intense party spirit, and commanding talents have enabled him to exert a gigantic in? fluence upon the Radical members of the House. Mr. Boutwell is undoubtedly a master-mind, and may make an admirable Secretary of the Treasury; but his appoint? ment bodes no good lo the South. Of General Rawlings, who cuooeeds Gene? ral Schofield as Secretary of War, we only know that he was chief of staff to General Grant, and is now well rewarded for his devotion to his old leader. This is the "new deal." From it we draw the inference that President Grant has abandoned his idea of conducting tho affairs of the country upou strict commer? cial principles, and is preparing to abandon himself unreservedly to thc embraces of the party leaders. Absit omen ! THE ZEITU.NO, it is announced, has be? come the property of its editor, Prof. Her- 1 man D. Meier, who contemptutes several important improvements in the manage? ment of that journal.

As it. will then be the only Charleston paper publish ed ou Sundiy, it will mlurnlly find its way imo thc hands of mauy who havo not hortt tofore been in thc habit of reading it. We wish our contemporary abundant pros? perity. THE GESERAL ASSEMBLY can not adjourn because the Committee on Ways and Means will not report the Appropriation bill. Is the committee hankering after the six dol larper diem, or what ? Perhaps they intend to revive the resolution introduced last ses sion, and make the per dum perpetual. .

WHY SOT change the title of the?-"Milt tia bill" and call it at once what we fear it will prove to be, viz: "A bill to orgauize civil war in South Carolina."
