Caucusing at tito Convention.
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.

^l^IAL J^OTIOES;
THE MISERABLES ? 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.
