COLUMBIA..
Friday Morning* March 13, I860.
The aristocracy of England and the
old tory journals are becoming much
alarmed at the rapid decadence of
their ancient prestige. -The recent
appointment as Premier of Mr. Dis?
raeli, a man of the people, who roso
by his own exertions from almost the
humblest of social positions, and
whose highest honor coveted'is that
of "gentleman of ?tho press," is re?
garded as almost a fatal blow to the
time-honored institution. As socie?
ty's brains become enlightened, the
oyes cease to be dazzled -with the
tinsel of court trappings. Feathers
and coronets fail to lend dignity and
imperial purple to impress with awe.
The practical tendency of tho ?ge,
does not even stop here, since mo?
narchies are forced to seek among the
commoners that intelligence for go?
verning, tho privileged class seems
no longer to afford. The barrier
once cast down, it must Boon sink into
contempt and ridiculo. Titles will
doubtless ere long he as cheap as old
clothes, and the Battle Roll of Hast?
ings Abbey sent to the National
Museum of Antiquities. Half a cen?
tury ago the descendant of the Percy
turned salt miner, and the Douglas
cured fish, but even then the aristo
craOy of England was rich in most of
its ancient glories. Now sadder times
have come upon it. It might with?
stand assault, but what salvation was
evor in store for an institution once
touched with the blighting shafts of
ridionle, or belittled with contempt?
It will be a great day for England
when the last blow falls; when her
titles, ceremonies and baubles are
stowed away like old lamber os they
are, in her great store-house of his?
tory, there to moulder ond minglo
their dust with that of the ages they
irradiated with their grandeur ond
their glory.
The Chief Justice of the United
States is paying the penalty exacted
by party spirit, for the crime of
having opinions of his own, even on
questions of low.' Referring to his
recent letter to the Senate, tho Wash?
ington correspondent of the New -
Haveu Journal says "it is pitiful to
see o man of such splendid powers,
and otherwise noble character, so de?
voured by aspirations unworthy of
him, that his best friends cannot put
full confidence in him;" and the
more unscrupulous of the radicals at
Washington, the New York Times :
asserts, do not hesitate to denounce 1
him as seeking a nomination for the
Presidency from the Democratic
party !
Tlieyoung man who was executed in
Columbia, Tenn., a few days ugo, by 1
tho order known os the "Kuklex," is
said to have been from Newberry
District, in thisState. Hewascharged
with tho wilful murder of a young
man named Bicknell. .

Summer, of Newberry praying tho re- ,

A letter from'Col. Ti J. Bobertaon,

Scott for Governor,- and pledging Iiis
cordial sypporty was read.
B. F., Whittemoro offered \iu re?
sponse a complimentary r?solution,
returning the thanks of the Conven?
tion, and pledging their support to
Col. Robertson for tho position of
United States Senator. The resolu?
tion was unanimously adopted.

ditional officers were then selected:

The following despatch, addressed
to a prominent member of the Con?
vention, explains itself:
"WASHINGTON, March 9.-House
will not probably admit more mem?
bers from any State than the number
authorized by the law after the last
census appointment.
"SCHUYLER COLFAX."
Mr. Leslie, on behalf of the can?
didates nominated, on behalf of the
Republican cause, oil who loved their
country, and all who liked to hoar
their friend from Darlington (Mr.
Whittemore) sing, begged thatf he
wonld be allowed to sing, and that oil
the friends of the cause would joiu
with him in the chorus.
Mr. Whittemore then led off in
singing, "Rolly Round the Flag,"
which was joined in by all present,
Mr. Leslie keeping time with a ruler.
On motion, the Convention ad?
journed sine die.
No PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.-The
Washington correspondent of the
Bultimoro Gazelle, who is not always
wrong, says:
"Nor must I refrain from exposing
a new 'device of the enemy.' It
Beems tho radicals have determined
to hold no Presidential election at all
next fall. They argu? that tho Con?
stitution nowhere appoints a time
for indulging in such tom-foolery;
neither does it make direct provision
in case of the removal, &c, of the
President and vice-President, but
expressly leaves the whole of these
matters to Congress. It is contend?
ed, therefore, that tho legislative
branch of the Government, by o
mero ad, may continue Mr. Wade
'or any other man' in tho Presidency
for four complote years from the day
of his 'inauguration,' there being no
referenco whatever in the sacred in?
strument to tho '4th of March.'
Upon looking into tho Constitution,
E do not hesitate to say that Congress
lins more colorable authority to do
such a deed than it has for nine
tenths of tho legislation already in?
flicted upon the country. This course
will undoubtedly be taken by tho
radicals if 'Democratic victories,' as
they aro called, shall continue."
. It is certainlv odd ononrrh that
Cider Justice Chase should now give
as a reason for again postponing the
trial of Jeff. Davis, that he must first
preside at the trial of Andrew John?
son. When Davis fell into the bonds
of justice, Johnson, of oil men in the
country, most earnestly demanded
his trial and punishment. Three
years have passed away, Johnson
himself is denounced as a traitor and
enemy of the country, and the trial
of Davis is postponed in order that
tho trial of Johnson m?y be prose?
cuted.-Nev? Yurk Times.

SERGEANT BATES-ARRIV?T, AN?)
RECjtPTjto?K.-This patriotic -Union
soldier-who hos taken upon him?
self the praiseworthy task of giving
che lie- to th? unfounded assertious
of tho enemies, of tho Constitution
and the Uni?n-the radical, party
that Northern men were not safe in
the South,-by proceeding on foot and
unattended through tho States of the
latd South?rn Confederacy, bearing
the stars and stripes with him. ' He
was met on the tho Milledgevillo
Road, outside of the city limits, by a
deputation of oitiziuis iu carriages,
one of which was provided for him,
and iu which he. was taken to the
Planters' Hotel, where he was wel?
comed by our local brother, john L.
Ells, formerly of the Confederate
army, but now of tho Constitutionalist,
who deliveredn .neat and appropriate
speech, which was listened to by a
very respectable crowd and loudly
cheered.
The Sergeant is a good walker and
stauds the fatigues of his journey
very well. He will remain here as
the guest of our citizens itntil Mon?
day next, wheu he will again resume
his toilsome march toward the capi?
tal of the country, where his patri?
otic task will terminate. He deserves
well of the Southern people, for he
is really their champion in this task;
aud we earnestly commend him to
their good grnces and kind attentions
along the rest of his toute.
