Yesterday afternoon, the ..Honorable" B. F. Whittemore, who sold the cadetshlp, arrived in Charleston by the South Carolina Railroad train, havlnj come by invitation or thc Loyal League of Charleston. He was met at the depot by a squad or colored soldiers, and any number or colored men, women and children. As the "Reverend Rascal," as he has been appropriately styled, stepped rrom the car. the soldiers presen ted arms, the crowd cheered, and a delegation compos? ed of T. J. Mackey, Larayette "Woolie, whiM, and Sam Dlckersou and three others or the less prominent colored men advanced to the rront, when T. J. Mackey welcomed the visitor lu benair of the Union League, to which Whittemore re? sponded, expressing his gratification at his re? ception, which be had not anticipated, and his thankfulness in being permitted to make bis de? fence before thc Republicans of Charleston. After this, the delegation and the visitors seated them? selves In the two carriages prepared ror them, and, to the music or arc and drum, were escorted by the military to the Mills House, where thc soldiers were drawn up into line, after which Whittemore descended from the carriage and went into the hotel. THE MASS MEETING. The Union League called for a mass meeting of Republicans at thc Military Hall, last night, to hear a speech rrom Whittemore. The large hall up stairs was used as a fair-room, and the sound or music and shuttling feet deuoted that its pat? ronizers were passing the time in dancing. In consequence of this Talr a small room down stairs was appropriated for tne "mass meeting." lu this roora and around the doors, at 3 o'clock, the hour of meeting, about one hundred colored and thirteen white meu assembled. T. J. Mackey and two other white men occupied the stand, while the doughty cadetshlp broker sat In the corner composing himself by taking sundry whiffs of a beautiful bouquet which was in close proximity to a dirty, greasy oil lamp. INTRODUCTION. At half-past s o'clock T. J. Mackey, who some time ago denounced Whittemore as "the rever? end rascal who 'stole the livery of Heaven to aerve the devil In,' ?' called the assemblage to or? der, and said that he had the honor to extend, In behalf of the Loyal League and Republicans of Charleston, a cordial welcome to the Hon. B. F. Whittemore, who, In response to an invitation of the League, had come to visit the city and be heard tu his own defence in regard to charges made against him, and npon which he had never had a fair and impartial hearing. He (the speaker) hoped and believed that the audience would give the gentleman a respectful and im? partial hearing; he has been falthrul to us, let us be true to him. In other parts or the State thc right or free speech, the dearest right of man, had been denied hun. When tue Republicans or the Firs: Congressional District re-elect him to Congress, tben will be. heard from the Republi? cans or this district only the joyful shout, "well Jone." [Loud applause.] WU ITT SHORE'S DEFENCE. As soon as the applause subsided Whittemore Jtepped forward, (the fiddlers up stairs unwitting? ly but appropriately strack up, "Oh, listen to the nocking bird.'') He was greeted with applause, mt two or three colored parsons In the rear por? tion or the audience had thc temerity to hiss. He stated that he was glad or the opportunity to make his derence before the Republicans of Charleston. Out of eleven counties In his district de had spoken In ter. of them, and everywhere Hs hearers had neared that as they had placed :onadence lu him la thc past they would repose raith in him fer the* future. Arter paylcg this iellcate compliment to his popularity and persua live eloquence, thc speaker said that as the ;harges against him had been made and garbled, ind as the press of bb) State had not seen flt to io him Justice, he had to meet the people on the itnmp, speak in his own defence, and assure hem of the justice of his Intentions; that as he lad come to speak lu his own derence regarding he saie of the cadetshlp, he would commence rlthout farther digression. SELLING OF THOSE TOSSItXS. He stated that in Florence a colored man told ils employer, when asked about the selling of :adetship, that he (W.) bad sold to the enemy a ?hip of the line, which had been built by the gov? ernment for the especial defence or the rights or ihe colored people. Another report was that he lad sold the cities of Montgomery and Columbia, ?Iso the State or South Carolina and thc rights or the colored people. Now, as regards these re? ports, there was not a word of truth In them; he had not sold either of the cities or the State named, or a sloop, bark, brig or ship ot the line, or a cadetship. He had not sold the rights af the people, as they well knew, for, thanks to God, the people under Republicanism enjoyed all or the rights which they possessed before the re? ports about him were started. INCOMPETENT lt El'CULI CANS. The speaker then explained how appointments were made for the United States Military and Naval Schools, and then stated that, until late in 1S69, he did not think anythlug scarcely of his privilege ofappointlng a cadet from his district, lils mind being oc:upled with graver matters matters or vital interest to the people or the stete and or the South. When thc matter or thc ap? pointment was brought to lils heavily burdened mind, he looked all over his district aud found that there was uot a colored young mau who had sat snmclently long at the foet or instructors to pass an examination for thc place; that was not his rault, but it was nevertheless so. Several Republi? can desired to get the place for their sons, but they were either physically or mentally disqualified. A number of Democrats also applied for their sons, but judging from the letters of the aforesaid sons they were dlsqualitled; but whether they were or not, he would not have givcu one of the Demo? crats that or any other place. Finding that there was no one In the district competent for the place, the speaker thought little more of the matter, but proceeded to ease his mind of a rew or the afore? said burdens; and while thus engaged a gentle? man came and asked him about the place, and desired to get lt for a friend or his (the applicant.) THE SEDUCER. On Inquiry of the applicant, the speaker found that the young man for whom the place was de? sired was a son or a true and true army friend. Knowing that there was uo colored person In South Carolina flt for the place, the speaker deter? mined to give it to the young man In question ir he proved competent. A personal examination of him convinced the .speaker tnat he tros competent. But then he was not a resident of thc district; ns the law required that a cadet appointed from a district must have been a resident of it for a cer? tain time, he made arrangements for the young man to live In Darlington the requisite time. He so lived, was appointed, and General Grant, ex Secretary of War Rawlings, and Jadge-Advocatc Geueral Holt assured the speaker that the ap? pointment was as legal as any ever made. Having made this assertion, the speaker proceeded to prove that In this respect he had not been criminal. SECRET HISTORY OF APPOINTMENTS. Some Congressmen, said the speaker, give thehr appointment to the son of a strong political enemy in his district, in order to remove the rumored rather from his path. Other Congress? men ?ire behind hand in a bank, and they make that little matter square by appointing the son of a banker. Such are the ways or some Congress? men, said the speaker, but as he had no political enemy to silence, no bank account to square, he resorted to the son of no political enemy or bank? er, and Anding no one in his district competent to AU tfce place, he had given lt to the first com? petent mVn who had applied; in all of which transaction^actcd as conscientiously as he had ever done In anviling in his Ufo [doubtless.] THE PRIt* OF THE CA.BKT8HIP. Some time atterre appointment was made, said the speaker, the a>gUcan t came to him and asked him ir he would nt* accept a present in consideration of the services. The speaker (not having hl3 hat ready to hanu-tjound) declined the gift. The applicant, who ha\been in the speaker's district and knew how zemwa he was and educational advantage?, asked him If he would not accept five hundred dollars to aid In i establishing school facilities for the colored peo ' pie, and aid him in the next political cauvass. ? This th? speaker accepted, and then thc first thing he knew were the charges of having sold the cadetshlp. O? this, he was Innocent. What he had done was all for the benefit of the colored people of his district. Having thus related the story of that cadetship bribery, the speaker commenced an appeal to the sympathy of the audience. After he wound up several individuals of lesser prominence spoke, and the meeting, which was anything but a mass meeting, dispersed. Buring the recital of his woes, Whlttemore was listened to attentively, but when he waited for the "applause to come bi," lt didn't come, and the speaker proceeded. Asan enthusiastic or a mass meeting, it was not a suc? cess. EASTER ELECTIONS. Thc following additional elections are re? ported : Trinity Church, Columbia.-Vestrymen-John B. Palmer, A. C.

No wonder that the face of the dyspeptic has a dragged, worn, hopeless expression that is pitiful to see. No wonder that the miserable martyr to indigestion ls fretrul, Irritable and unsocial. Whoever can bear the pangs or this tormenting complaint ohceriully and with an unruffled tem? per, ls little short of a samt. But why should human fortitude coutlnuo to be thus severely tried, when an absolute specific for the disease ls always at hand. Everywhere within the limits or civilization in this hemisphere, HOTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls obtainable, and the history of thc first case of dyspepsia in which lt has been administered lu vain, has yet to be written. Thc sickness at the stomach, the sense or weakness and stupor, the feeling of emptiness and hollow? ness before eating, and or oppresslon'afterwards, thc fluttering of the pulse, the Intense nervous lr ritatlon, the morbid Indisposition to cxertlou, the weariness or life and indifference to all Its plea? sures, which are among the symptoms or thc dis? ease lu its chronic form, arc rapidly ameliorated by thc tonic operation of this palatable vegetable restorative, which seems to renovate and quicken all the dormant forces of the system, and rouse thc mind rrom the apathy and gloom inseparable from a derangement of the digestive ami secre? tive functions. In ordiuary cases, a few weeks suffices to complete the cure, but when the dis? ease is complicated, as it often is, with torpidity or the liver, severe constipation, Impurity or the blood, and a sluggish circulation, a longer time may be required. Persevere, however, and the result ls certain. An encouraging Improvement will bo perceptible rrom day to day, and the con? valescent, knowing and reeling that he or she ls on the high road to health, will await the happy Issue with comparative patience._apris 0 ?BB- IF YOU WANT STRAW, MANIL?
