Why is a bridegroom worth moro
thau the bride? Bocause she is given

Confidence is said to bo a "plant
of alow growth." Yet we see oar
Republican friends are trusting to
the promises made, to them by such
men os Corbin and Chamberlain,
who, if we may believe Cob Robert?
son, have only been amongst us fer
two years.
One of these gentlemen already
hulda the important and , profitable
office of District Attorney, and is de?
sirous of adding to his honors by
representing the city of Charleston
in the new Senate of South Carolina.
The other is advocating the ticket
nominated by the Charleston Con?
vention, forgetting, in his patriotic
devotion to the State of his adop?
tion, that his name is on thnt ticket
for Attorney-General; au office of full
as rnuoh honor, and almost as much
profit, as that held by Distri -t-At
torney Corbin.
Those gentlemen may well ask the
colored people to support tho new
Constitution, "to work for it, pray
for-it aud fight for it," for it will give
them aud their friends fat oltices and
fill their pockets with greenbacks.
With what amazement would the
people of Vermont, (Hie home of
Mr. Corbin,) or the people of Mas?
sachusetts, (the home of Mr. Cham?
berlain,) look upon some of our Co?
lumbia, lawyers if they were tofjsoek
for tho highest and most profitable
offices in the States of Vermont and
Massachusetts? With what amaze?
ment would the people of Ohio look
upon some citizen of South Caroli?
na, way Beverly Nash or ' C. M. Wil?
der, if one of them were to migrate
to Ohio and ask tho good people of
that State to make him Go vernor
as Gen. Scott now asks of the people
of South Carolina? And yet these
foreign gentlemen como here and
demand tho most profitable offices,
under the plea that they are the only
friends of the colored man.
You ask tk'ein for bread, and they
tender you the ballot. You ask them
for employment, and they give you
the right to vote them into profitable
?Offices. You are told by these foreign
Mcntlemen to distrust the entire body
^>f tho white people of South Caro?
lina.
If their advice was disinterested,
why do they ask you to give them
the fat offices of the State? If they
come amongst us as missionaries and
apostles of liberty, why do they not
content themselves with missionary's
fare? These are the men who under?
value your sense and intelligence, in
supposing you capable of being
duped by their arts and their pro?
mises-who would endanger your
peace and prosperity by stirring up
strife between yon and your former
masters. "Beware of these raven?
ing wolves in sheep's clothing."

A REMARKABLE OYSTER.-A few
days aince, a prominent gentleman,
residing in one of the lower Counties,
went on board an oyster boat lying
at one of tho landings on York River,
and bought a few of tho "bivalves'
in the shell, which he proceeded tc
open for himself. Attached to and
imbedded in the shell of one of them
he encountered a metalic substance.
This oyster he carried home, and
there proceeded to break it to piecef
with a hammer. Picture his aston
ishinent when he found fthnt it con?
tained a French gold coin, kuown at
a Louis (Vor, of the value of about
fourteen dollars, bearing dato 1573.
It is probable that it was lost over?
board from the French fleet durinp
the siege of Yorktown.
[Richmond Examiner,
ARRESTED FOR IMPROPER CONDUCT.
Last night, about 10 o'clock, Rev. (Vj
B. P. Randolph, tho saddle-colored
; delegate to the great riugod-strenked
i and-striped, who represented Orange
' burg, but lives in Charleston, way
arrested in the burnt district, being
taken in conduct contra bonos inores.
I Ho at first resisted tho police, but,
j when he found that resistance irai
useless, hu offered a bribe of .-ilOO tc
be let oil*, without being carried tc
tho guard house. To tho guard
? house, however, he had to go, and
there ho was required to deposit $'?i),

I probably, forfeit that small amount.

A politicul dinner-table disputo al
Tuscumbin, Ala., between Roberl

army, resulted iu the death of thc
former, who was shot by Collins.
DEATH va&sr WAST OF SLEEP.-Tb. o
following communication was recent?
ly made to a British society: ' '\
"A Chinese merchant h nd been
convicted of murdering his wife, and
wa? sentenced to die V>j bring de?
prived of sleep. This painful mode
of death was carried into execution
under the following circumstances:
The condemned was placed in prison
nuder the care of three of the police
guard, who relieved each other every
alternate hour, and who prevented
the prisoner from falling asleep, night
or day. He thus lived for nineteen
days without enjoying any sleep. At
the commencement of the eighth day
his sufferings were so intense, that
he implored the authorities to grant
him the blessed opportunity Of being
strangulated, guillotined, burned to
death, drowned, Bhot, garroted,
quartered, blown up with gun-pow?
der, or put to death iu any other
conceivable way which their humani?
ty or ferocity could invent."
i THE REVISION* OF THF. ENGLISH
I BIBLE.-The statement that Dr.
Hackett, of Newton Theological
Seminary, Ls to take charge of the
revision of tho English translation
j of tho Bible, nuder the auspices of
tho American Bible Union, is errone?
ous and does injustice to one of the
most learned scholars of the age.
That work has been, and will still re?
main, in the hands of Dr. T. 3. Co?
nant, of Brooklyn, who has already
published translations of Job and
Matthew, and is now finishing the
I translation of Genesis, which will be
! published in May. Dr. Conant's
translation of Job is admitted* by
European scholars to be one of the
most valuable contributions to Bibli?
cal literature ever made. Dr. Hack?
ett has resigned his professorship at
Newton in order to co-operate with
Dr. Conant, who retains entire con?
trol of tho work he has so ably com?
menced.
RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP.-Secretary
Seward lost no time in telegraphing
to Mr. Adams, by cable, the ratifica?
tion of the treaty which has been
framed and ratified under his aus?
pices with North Germany. It is
rumored that the Secretary of State
is now negotiating a similar treaty
with Great Britain, ignoring the ob?
solete Ldoctrine of perpetual alle
I giunce, and recognizing the rights of J
i naturalized citizens. Should such a
! treaty be concluded with tho mother
I country, it will be a final settlement
I of n question which has caused much
i trouble since the Revolution of 1776.

IN MEMORIAM.
Died, on the 7th dav of December last,
at her residence, Mrs. MARY J. SIMMONS,
relict of the late Dr. Thomas II. Simmond,
after a lingering illness.
MrB. Simmons was a native of Newport,
lt. I., where alic received a finished educa?
tion. At a very early age sho married anti
removed with "her husband to this State,
and waa greatly estoomed for her cultivat?
ed mimi, gentle- manners and true woman?
ly heart, ny her husband's relatives and
friends.
Her natural gifts were of the highest
order; and, living in a retired part of the
country, she devoted mu?h of her time to
the cultivation of her poetic talents and in
thc enthusiastic pursuit of literature.
Many of her fugitivo piecea exhibit that
true poetic Uro which sparkles in the gems
of Mrs. Hernani'.
She knew lifo to be no holiday, yet she
waa ever choorfnl in her task. She gave
her whole heart to duty and pursued it
with an unobtrusive yet steady enthusi?
asm. Tears yet bitter, the tears of mortal
frailtv and sorrow, liow for her departure;
but thone will be succeeded by a clearer
vision and a brighter hope, and taarB
sweet and consoling, memories gentle and
soothing, will follow and ever wait upon
the dear and sacred image of her so loved
as mother, frioud and companion.
