THE GABIBALDIANS AGAIN.-The Gari? baldiens are on the alert again, large numbers of them, it is said, having mot at Genoa. What their objeot is, it is uncertain, bnt it is whispered about that Nice is the objective point, and when taken in conjunction with the evident good feeling subsisting between Ger? many and Italy, and the fortification of the mountain passes of Piedmont, a movement against France seems proba? ble. We hope, however, that no rup? ture between Franco and Italy will take place, and should be rather inclined to believe an English paper, that these Ga? ribaldiens really inte id to secretly enter Spain and assist tho Spanish Republi? cans in a rising against Amadeus, were it not the Italian Government is aware of the gathering at Genoa. Time alone can solve the question of the destination of the Garibaldiens. Two VETERAN SOLDIERS.-A meeting of "veteran soldiers" is called at Pitts? burg, September 17, to endorse the gift taker. The first two signers, says the Macon (Ga.*) Telegraph, are Powell Clay? ton and George E. tipenoer, two "gene? rals," whose viotories over the respective treas aries of Arkansas and Alabama in times of peaoo, have far eclipsed any they won during actual war. Clayton is the "veteran soldier" whose exploits in Arkansas have won fdr him an immortali? ty of Infamy, who "Would this day be in the penitentiary if "he were not a mem? ber of the Badioal' S?bate, nnd kept in there because he is 'dseful to Grant and the party. Spenoeris another "veteran soldier" i of splendid renown, whioh he won at the tail of a sutler's wagon during the war, afterwards oarpet-bagging him? self into the Senate from Alabama by virtue of negro votes and Federal bayo? nets. It is but natural such veterans aa these should desire their patron endorsed, seeing that his defeat would remit them to.honest labor for a livelihood, and in Clayton's case very possibly in his being wade to answer in the courts of his country for the crimes he has committed against its laws. Mrs. Rose Watkins met with an acci? dent, while performing in "Trodden Down," in Halifax, N. ?3., ou tho 27th ult. The drop scene aud roller fell, striking tbe lady on the left shoulder and face, and throwing her down. Her husband and other actors rushed to her assistance, but ehe deolared she wus but slightly hurt, and the piny proceeded. Tb? Hon. Jamel L, Orr 4***t '?Th? Bayne U To THfe EDITOR OP THE CH ARLESTON NEWS: Judge Orr, in his recent inter* I view with jour reporter, after full no? tice that all he uttered waa intended for publication, has Been fit to single ont tbe "Hayne family," and represent it as, par ] excellence, a fumily of office holders. If there was no malice in this selection of Judge Orr, (and I oannot perceive why there should be,) he is singularly unfor? tunate in his choice of the solitary ex? ample put forward to give point to his apologetic argument in favor of Grant'? nepotism. Judge Orr says: "The Hayne family, for instance, I think, seldom had less thau twelve or fifteen of it? brauch OR iu positions of power and trust." Why, the fat knight, immortalized by Shaks peare, did not more egregiously multiply the "men in buckram," than does Judge Orr the Hayne family in this astounding announcement. There were but two "branches" of the Hayne family uuder the old regime. One "branoh" were descendants of my grand? father, Col. Isaac Hayne, hung by the British, in 1781, as a rebel and secession? ist; the other, tbe descendants of Abram Hayne, who died about the same time in & British prison-ship-he, too, like bia kinsman, beiug charged with disloyalty and treason by those who were then in power. These two were the only male adult Haynes of their day. For more than a quarter of a century after their death, there waa no Hayne] iu office in ?South Carolina; and daring the ninety odd years which have elapsed since the death of these two, the Haynes who have held office, State and Federal, all told, do not number fifteen. Instead of twelve or fifteen at all times in offiou, wu have, all.tdd, less than that number in u period of ninety years. The "Hayne family" have, ut all eveuta, left room enough for Judge Orr. That gentleman, though considerably my junior, has himself been a member I of the State Legislature, a member of the United States Congress, Speaker of I tho House of Representatives of that body, member of the Secession Conven? tion, commissioner from seceded South Carolina to the government at Washing? ton, Confederate colonel of the finest regiment I ever saw, (whioh, however, he never led into battle,) Senator from South Carolina to the Congress of tho Confederate States, delegate to the Na? tional Democratic Convention at Phila? delphia, head centre of Andy Johnson's Reconstruction Convention, first Go vernor under the constitution then adopted, holding on by tolerance of General Sickles after the auti-Johunon Reconstruction Act, helping in the for? mation of the constitution now of force, and now a Judge under it. I am surprised that a gentleman so I various and so versatile-as the Germans I say, so "many sided"-and successful in every change-a man so eminently a live mau as Judge Orr-should be raking' among fossils and dead men's bones. If 1 the "Hayne family" alluded to by Judge Orr were ever a power in the State, they certainly are not so now, and it would have been kinder of Judge Orr to have let them alone. Though he may have ont loose from all memories of the past, it affords no good excuse for needlessly and unprovokedly pitching into those who have only these memories left to cherish. At all events, he should have been "sure he was right," before he "went ahead." Judge Orr says that he is surfeited with office, and will never more submit to the infliction of holding one. I heard him say the same thing eleven years ago to the interesting regiment he then com? manded, and whose fate was soon after so melancholy. He told them that he was more than satisfied with public honors, and had outlived ambition. His only care, he said, was to do his duty to them and to his country. Within six ' months after this speech his regiment | wt s turned over to his brother-in-law, Colonel Marshall, who, with all the field officers and half the regiment wore killed in Virginia, and tho next campaign ex Colonel Orr lived to be Confederate States Senator, Governor, Judgo, Sec., and "John Brown's soul goes marching on." His last card is, with tho aid of Corbin, Bowen and President Grant, to scourge the money-changers from tho temple, aud to send packing the thieves whom he, Corbin, Bowen and Graut helped to pat in office. In his work may God speed him. I would help a good work though tho devil bid, and there is no telling whom the Lord may choose as His instruments. I. W. HAYNE. THE MCLAUGHLIN CASE-THE PBI BONER RELEASED, RE-ARRESTED AND BAILED.-The case of M. McLaughlin, tbe County Commissioner lodged in jail by order of Jadge Lee, of the Inferior Court, for contempt, inasmaoh aa be wouid not deliver to the Clerk of the Court certain checks, alleged to have been over-issued by the Board of Coun? ty Commissioners, was resumed yester? day afternoon, before Chief Justice Moses. Solicitor Whipper appeared for the Inferior Court and D. T. Corbin, Esq., for the prisoner. Argoment was heard on the jurisdiction of the Inferior Coart Jadge sitting at Chambers, aud at its close the Chief Justice decided in favor of the prisoner, and ordered his ' enlargement. He was then informally arrested on the oharge of breach of trust and grand larceny, and gave bail in the sam of $1,000, Lieatenant-Governor Ranaier and Mr. J. J. Monaghan going his sureties. There was a crowd ia at? tendance at the Coart of Common Pleas rooms, where the proceedings were held. [Charleston Courier, nth. It may appear anomalous, bat, never? theless, is a faot, that of all the trades, the pugilists are almost tho only profes? sionals who have not gono "on a strike." A General Ben.

Cotlinm, oar immediate representativo ia the Baltimore Conven? tion, having returned to his home at thia place, on Saturday evening last, the reporter of the Medium soagbt kin early interview with him, whereupon the fol? lowing conversation (substantially) was had : Reporter-Colonel, will you gi\e to me, for the benefit of the readers of the Medium, your impressions in a general way ot the situation as disclosed by tbe recent event? at Baltimore? Col. Cotbrdu-Politioal conventions being a new thing with me, it is possible that I may have' an exaggerated idea of the one at Baltimore. There was cer? tainly an immense concourse of people there and great enthusiasm. The per sonel of the Convention was said to com? pare favorably with any preceding as? semblage of tho kind, and the names of many ot its delegates, who have made a national reputation, rihow that there were not wanting those who were fall of wisdom, experience aud popularity. So muoh for fha general appearance and character of the Convention. The orga nization of the Convention was just easy and harmonious enough not to nave the appearance of having been "ont and dried." lt. -lou think, then, that tho Balti? more Conveutiou was not cut and dried, but represented the popular will? Col. C.-I do think so. And as proof of it, when the Convention adjourned at 1 o'clock P. M., on Tuesday, having appointed a committee to nominate a permanent chairman to preside over ite deliberations, I do not believe that it was known whether Gen. McClernand, Gen. Cass, of Pennsylvania, or Mr. Doo? little, .would be the obuirman. Tht choice, as you know, was made of thc last named gentleman. He was, per? haps, informed by 2 o'clock P. M. of hi; nomination by the committee, and Bpenl the remainder of the time, between thor und 1 o'clock, in preparing the admira ble address which he delivered on as suming tho chair. There was an awk ward pause of fifteen or twenty minutei utter the assembling ot the Conveutioi in the afternoon, before Mr. Doolitth mado bis appearance, escorted by Messrs Huffrnau aud Bayard. The speech wa not quite ready at i o'clock. R.-I have seen it stated by some o thu opposition papers that the speech o Mr. Doolittle was prepared before hand Col. C.-Yes; and this was also bt lieved by Borne of tho delegates to th Baltimore Convention, and that Mr Doolittle bad gone to Baltimore with hi speech in his poakst. Such, however was not the fact. R.-What was the effect of the speec upon the Convention? Col. C.-It was very impressive. Mi Doolittle has few equals us a presidin officer; has a splendid appearance, a ver duo voice, is graceful, forcible and eh quent. The npeech was reoeived wit rapturous applause, and struok the ke; note of the campaign now abonttoopei R.-In your judgment, what will 1 the prominent'issae in the coming car. paiga? Col. C.-This isa hard question to ai swer. I would say, tboogb, that so far loan judge from indications at Ball more, that the people of the North ai North-west are alarmed (and not witho cause) at the ascendancy of tho milita over the civil authority, and tho evide tendency toward centralism on the ps of the General Government. I belie that one of the heaviest burdens tb the present Administration has to car is the state of things existing in t State governments of the South, heard no allusion made to the State South Carolina that did not produ manifest emotion in the Convention, a the suspension of the writ of habeas ci pus in a State governed by tho Radii party, with a pronounced majority 30,000 voters, is regarded as a want exhibition of power and a most flugn violation of the rights of the citize You will bear much of this during I coming campaigu, or I am greatly rx taken. R.-What is your opinion as to I result of the campaign? Col. C.-It is of course impossible prediot tbe result. Many changes n occur between this time and the Hes November. The present indications that the movement inaugurated ut C ciuuuti, and with singular nnanim and enthusiasm ratified ut ]> al ti inc will sweep over the countiy like a pra on lire-reminding those who eau re tho eveuts of thirty-two years ago of campaign of "Tippecanoe and Ty too," of "log cabins," "coon skins" i "hard cider." The country hus b playing a tragedy for twelve years, the people of all seotiocs are hear sick and tired of blood, usurpation violence, of the establishment of mat law, of military arrests and men horseback; and if the nomination of Greeley be, as the London Times characterized it, a farce, it may all more induce the two sections to st hands in friendly clasp over the bio chasm whioh has so long divided th It must come to this sooner or lu and the question, iu tho hearts am the lips of the people is, why not n This is their movement-the politic have not promoted, and have, in s of tho States, (Georgia, for instar: attempted to oppose and retard it their action has been as the surface rents moving in the opposite direc? to the storm, whioh sweeps*cm)with sistiblo foroe. - > ' .1 lt.-The nomination of ? Greeley Brown was not quite unanimous, Georgia was one of tho States, who a divided vote. Col. O.-Yes, mid this was attril ble, no doubt, to the high estimatif, whioh Messrs. Stephens and Toomb held as political leaders by some of friends over the border. I was toi one of tho delegates from Georgia the dissentients were unwilling to contrary to the known wishes of constituents, but that there need 1 apprehension of trouble upon this snore, that as straight as these "out-and onters" are, they would not hesitate a moment in deciding for Greeley as against Grant. Senator Stockton, who ia now aiding in the canvass of North Carolina, said substantially 'he same thing of the split in the Nsw Jersey dele-1 gation. R.-The endorsement of the platform adopted at Cincinnati, and the nomina? tion of Greeley and Brown, you regard as unanimous? Col. C.-Yes, praslie illy so on the first ballot, and actually so on tbe mo? tion to make tbe vote unanimous. R -You think that Greeley*will go into powor by an overflow of returning good feeling-by a sort of political tor nudo. But what of South Carolina? Col. C.-It is hard to soy. I have my opinions, however, upon the subject, and shall not hesitate "to .show them forth," for what they may be worth. No I State in the Uniou will take more benefit from the election of Mr. Greeley than South Carolina, and in none is the feel? ing of sympathy stronger for him. But the colored people of the State seem to be joined to their idols-they will vote nearly solid for Grant, and having a ma? jority of 30,000 voters, it is, in my jadg ment, useless to make a fight in this State on the Presidential election. The strife and bitterness of former contesto1 will be renewed, without accomplishing any good, and the raoe would be ran in the old grooves of the Reform move? ment of 1880, and with the same results. R.-What, thea, should the good peo? ple of the State do? Col. C.-Better do nothing than make a fight in the contest for President, unless tho Conservative Republicans in the State should make the issne, by pre? senting Greeley electors. Ia that event, we can exercise the right of choice often a matter of inestimable advantage to the weaker party.- Should this not be done, it is probable the Grant Republi? cans will split upon the question of State I reform, which is an absolute necessity, and admitted to be so by all parties, at home and abroad. If any portion, fac? tion or wing of the Republican party will put u respectable ticket in the field for State reform-honesty against disho? nesty, good men against bad men-all good men of the State, white and black, Democrats and Republicans, should rally to their support, and redeem the State, if she be not past redemption, upon tho simple issue of State reform; and if our condition is past redemption, the sooner the fact is kuown and realized, the bet? ter.- Abbeville Medium. THE NEXT POPE.-The last mail from Berlin explains the canses of Prince Bismarck's sudden and startling action in regard to the election of a mew Pope. His organa assert that the Cardinals at the Vatican, in accordance with the secret bull ispued by Pius the Ninth in 1870, have already agreed upon the per? son of his successor, and that Cardinal Patrizzi will be proclaimed Pope as soon ns Pius the Ninth has breathed his last. Now Cardinal Patrizzi is known to be the ablest of the re actionary Cardinals at the Vatican. He is the favorite of the Jesuits and the principal originator of the (Ecumenical Council in 1870. He is a personal enemy of King Victor Emmanuel, who confiscated a part of his property in Tuscany. He was the friend of King Bomba, and desires the restoration of a Legitimist monamby in Franoe. That he is bitterly hostile to the new order of things in Germany need not be said. He is, moreover, a man of singular energy and decision of obaraoter, and in that respect widely different from the present Pope. Such is the maa whom, tbe official organs of the Chancellor of the German Empire assert emphatically, the re-aotionists and Jesuits of the Vatican have chosen as the next Pope, and they declare with equal emphasis that the German Govern? ment will never allow him to occupy the Holy See. Bismarck bases the right of his Go? vernment to interfere with the Papal olection, on the ground that the present German Empire is substantially the suc? cessor of the Holy Roman Empire, whioh ceased to exist in 1806. If that argument is valid, it is difficult to seo how tho Vatican can refuse the Cabinet of Berlin at least the right to say who ?hall not be the next Pope; for the German Emperors have exercised this so-called right of "exclusion" at Papal eleotions almost since times immemorial. But the organs of the V?ticans say that Bismarch, even if this right of ex? cludion were conceded to bia Govern? ment, would not content himself with it, but that he wanta to go a step fur? ther, aud claims, what was refused to King Philip II, of Spain, the only mo? narch that ever attempted to obtain it, namely, the so-called right of inclusion; that is to say, the right to say to the Conolave of Cardinals whom they shall elect Pope. They assort, furthermore, that he has already selected his candi? date, and that he is determined to' make Count Hohenlohe the next Pope. Wo have heretofore pointed out the gravity of this conflict. It is certainly one of the most momentous of modern times, and sure to give rise to grave complications.-New York Evening Mail.

Aftof", eating a piece of stale bread that be took from his ragged coat, he delivered himself thusly: "Gentlemen, don't trouble yourselves about me; I am an outcast, bat not a vagraat; I am not dishonest, or I would have better clothes. I fought the Indians in Florida; the Mexicans in Mexico; the rebels in Vir? ginia; the white men in Loniaiana. I have been an honest Republican; held office under a Republican Government. But when I refused to steal for them, I was not only oast oat of my office, bat these sores tell you something of the un? merciful whipping I received at their bands. All I ask for now is to live until after the election, that I may vote for Greeley aad Brown, and witness the curs as the political lash is applied to them." Three dollars and seventy-five cents was soon made ap by a few rebels, a ticket was purchased to Jackson, Miss., and the old Federal Boldier was sent on his way rejoicing. Queer people the Yankees.
