As tho period for the adjournment . of the Convention draws near, says the Charleston Couria; of the 25th, ?the caucusing among the members ol the Convention for the arrangement of S? ato affaire, the filling of State offices, and the disposai of Congres? sional honors, grows more and more lively. It ia now -behoved that the Convention, will adjourn about the ?th of March, and order an election to be held about the third Wednes? day of the same month for moruben ? of . the Legislature Should tbe radi cal programme be carried ont, thc . Legislature, as proposed, will ossem ble :early in April. Whether th< nominations thus far made, enc which we append, will be sanctioned - or endorsed by the constituency o - >the members of tbe Convention, is i question which does not seem to bavi . given rise to any very serious doubt The following circular has beei issued and distributed to the mern I bera for circulation throughout th State: STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE ROOMS, CHABLRSTON, S. C., Feb. 21, 18G8. ' Th?; Chairman of yonr District i -hereby notified that a State Nomi neting Convention of tho Union Ile publican party will be beld in tb city of Charleston, on tho 10th c March, for the purpose of nominal ing Governor, Lieutcnsnt-Governo and other-State officers. If the delegates now representin the Districts in the Convention nr acceptable, it will be advisable t authorize them to act. If the Districts desire, membei > s for Congress will be nominated b their delegates at tbe same place by separate nominating convention. B. F. WHITTEMORE, Ob'n State Central Committee. W. J. MCKINLAY, Secretary. We have classified tbe varioi offices to be filled, and our informi tion bas been gathered from some ? the most prominent members of tl bodv: United Slates Senators.-It is gen rally conceded that Dr. Maoke; President of the Convention, will ? elected for the long term, withoi opposition. For the short terr there are several candidates, tl most prominent of whom is Mr. i M. Rutland, of Fairfield. Members of Congress.-Tbe Co gressional Districts will probably r main os established by tho Conve tion of 1865, with perhaps a slig change in the third and fourth. M B. F. Whittemore, of Darlington, the most prominent candidnte f Congress from the First Dis tr i < Some of his friends, however, pi pose to elect him United Stat Senator for the short term-in whi event, if lie be elected to that offi< he will resign bis aspirations foi soat in the Congressional House Representatives to Mr. F. J. Mos jr., of Sumter, who will, no dou be elected. In tho Second Distri Mr. C. C. Bowen is tho most proi nent candidate. His competitors ? Mr. Gilbert'Pillsbury and Gen. 0. J. Stallbrand, of .Beaufort, now Secre? tary of tho Convention. In the Third and Fourth Districts, the most ! prominent candidates are B. Odell Duncan, of Newbeerry; Jomes H. Goss, of Union; J. M. Allen, of Greenville, and T. J.. Robertson, of Richland. Should the latter not be elected Governor, Mr. Pillsbury' is also spoken of oe a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. Governor.-There will be a very strong contest to secure the nomina? tion of Governor. The candidates aro Col. T. J. Robertson, of Rich? land, and Gen. R. K. Scott, Assist? ant Commissioner of tho Freedmen's Bureau. The friends of both parties are busily at work, and it is hard to tell at present who will secure the nomination. It is due, however, to Gen. Scott, to say, that the use of his name by his friends is unauthor? ized. The long discussion yester? day, relative to the term of residence as a requisite for eligibility to this office, was believed to be an effort on the part of the friends of the former to thus get rid of their most formida? ble rival candidate. The latter, how? ever, carried their point, and suc? ceeded in altering the time fixed by tho Committee from four to two yenrs. Secretary af Stale.-This office seems to be held in reserve for several who, should . thojr not secure some higher position, will consent to accept it. Among them are F. J. Moses, Jr., B. O. Duncan and F. Cardoza. The latter has recently been elected President of the Grand Council of the Union Leagues of this State, and has gone to Washington on business 1 connected with the League, and not to seek admission of colored men into Congress os reported. Attorney-General.-D. H. Cham? berlain, of Berkley, formerly a Mas? sachusetts lawyer and a graduate of Harvard College, is the only candi? date for this position. Superintendent of Education.-J. K. Jillson, of Kershaw, is supported by many friends for this position. Mr. B. Tomlinson, the present Superin? tendent of Education of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Aban? doned Lands iu this State, is also spoken of. Treasurer.-The only caudidate who has yet appeared for this posi? tion is N. G. Parker, of whoso nomi uutiou there is very little doubt among his friend*. Other Stale Officers.-Gen. Stall brand, formerly of Sherman's army, is mentioned by some for the posi? tion of Major-General of the Militia, aud others for Adjutant and Inspec? tor-General. C. P. LeBlio is men? tioned for Comptroller-General. Mr. Leslie, however, we behove, declines to be a candidate. Dr. J. C. Neagle, of York, is another candidate for this Eosition. Already tho Convention as petitioned Gen. Conby for tho appointment of Wm. E. Rose, of York, as Superintendent of the Peni? tentiary. Another petition is in cir cnlatiou for the appointment of Dr. L. B. Johnson as Superintendent and Physician of tho State Lunatic Asy lnm. General Assembly.-The General Assembly, it is supposed, will be composed of many members of the Convention. At least seventy or eighty, if not more, members of the Convention are counted upon as almost sure of being elected to tho Legislature. Supretne Court.-A strong desire is j exprossed to secure Judge Moses as Chief Justice, but it was not known whether he would accept. Col. A. J. Willard, Chief of the Bureau of Civil Affairs, Maj. D. T. Corbin, Dis? trict Attorney, and Judge Boozer, ore mentioned as Associate Judges. OIL STOVES. Ill AVE one of those celebrated OIE HTOVE8.

OF THIS BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL WOULD ARB THE DYSPEPTICS-Without ft good digestion there can neither be bodily comfort nor mc nt al enjoyment. Betwoen tho stomach and the 4>rain there is & eloso and wonderful alfianco. If tho one is disordered tho other ie gloomy, dejeotcd/incapablo of effort, and indifferent to all that makes life agreeable to tho healthy. Is this a condition that any rational hu? man being is willing to endure, whon tho moana of certain, immediato and perma? nent relief can bo obtained everywhere? Tho Dyspeptic has his fate in his own banda. If he chooses to banish forever the disorder that racks bia body and dis? turba tho mind with nameless horrors, bo has only to step to tho nearest drug store and procure a supply of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. No phase of Dyspepsia has ever vet re? sisted tho alterative, tonic and anti-bilious operation of this potent vegetable specific. It literally regenerates the lethargic sto? mach; rouaes into healthy action the dor? mant liver; puta to flight tho dismal fan? cies that beset tho mind; gently relieves and regulates tho bowels; strengthens the enfeebled nerves; rcatoros tho appetite, and makes, aa it were, a new creature of the desponding and debilitated invalid. Ladies who suffer from indigestion have only to take a small dose of this pure vege? table corrective, once or twico a day, to secure entire exemption from tho pains and penalties of a weak stomach and that perfect functional regularity, which bot row of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy.
