COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Horning, June 15, 1873. Virginia Politics, The political contest in Virginia, for the eleotion of State officers and mem-' bora of the Legislature, promises to be of unusual interest. The conventions of the two parties have yet to make nominations. The Conservatives have been conceded to have a large majority in the State, though in tho last Presi? dential eleotion bo many of them de olined to vote for Greeley that the elec? toral vote of the State was given for Grant, as it were, by default. This re? sult has been a source of encouragement to the Radical party, though the Con? servatives maintain that the mass of Con? servatives who declined to vote for Gree? ley will, in the State elections, support the Conservative ticket. In a recent in? terview with a reporter of the Richmond Dispatch, Mr. Woltz, Secretary of the Republican Stute Committee, estimated that the accession of the Conservative element to the Badioal party would not exoued 500 votes. It is not yet con jeotured who will be the Conservative candidate for Governor of Virginia, bnt the most prominent man in connection with the Radical nomination is Robert W. Hughes, Esq., a distinguished Vir? ginia editor, who was one of the editorial staff of the Riohmond Examiner daring the late war. ? ? ? ? MaoMahon's Address.?Marshal Mac Mahon haB not kept the National Assem? bly long in suspense regarding the coarse he intends to adopt in the government of the country. Duke de Broglie, Vice President of the Council, read a mes age from the newly elected President of the Republic. So far as the message is oonoerned, it appears to be but a para? phrase of the lettor by which the Mar? shal accept od the Presidency. Both doonments speak npon two points princi? pally, the liberation of the territory and the restoration of moral order, a question of finance on the one side and a question of policy on the other. This, after all, is bnt the continuation of the Government as M. Thiers had organized it. The government of Marshal Mac Mahon, in effect, has little to do with the evacuation. The treaty has been negotiated and four milliards of the five demanded by Germany are already in the exchequer of the latter Government. Nevertheless, it will bo generally gratify? ing to learn that, while he- intends to follow up the course adopted by his pre? decessor, in tho matter of freeing the soil of Franco of the presence of the invader, MacMabon will not, at least for the present, attempt any new reforms that might give rise to fresh complica? tions in the ooantry. Value of Minority Betkesbn'tation. Mayor Medill, of Chicago, one of the foremost advocates of minority repre? sentation, writes a letter to Hon. S. F. Hunt, of Ohio, saying that the system adopted in Illinois "proves in practice to be just what was promised und predicted in its behalf.'-' The following is an ex? tract from his letter. "The new system commends itself as more democratic than the old. The whole mass of the people uro now repre? sented in the popular branch, instead of a mere majority, as formerly. Every voter, whether a Democrat or Republi? can, has now the man of bis choice iu the Assembly to represent him. Neither party is now unrepresented in any dis? trict. Tho minority is no longor practi? cally disfranchised, as was previously tho ease. The vote of the majority is not impaired or disturbed. The stronger party at the polls have couiroi of tho House, but tho weaker one is represented in proportion to its strength. The un jast monopoly of representation is broken. Every Democratic distriut elected two Democrats and one Republi? can, and every Bepob'.icau district two Republicans and one Democrat to the House." The Election- op a Judge in Illi? nois.?The Cincinnati Commercial, com? menting on the election of Judgo Cra;g to the Supreme Court bench of Illinois, says: There is a terrible outcry because tho farmers of Illinois, who are lighting the railroads, made a stand and elected their candidate in a judicial election. Well, the railroads have boon looking after ju? dicial electiono for a long time. A great number of the Jadges on tho bench are owned by railroads. Hundreds of othors are running up and down tho country on free passes given them with the purely business purpoee of affecting their deci? sions favorably to railroad interests, Why should not tho farmers own a few Jadges? There is not u railroad uau of large intelligence in tho country who does not know that the greut corpora? tions have their representatives in the lowest and tho highest caucuses, and as keen an eye on the election of Jadges as on that of motnbors of Congress, und it is popular knowledge that tho Supreme Court of the United States was, in the opinion of tho Chief Justico himself, packed in a railroad interest. One day last week, 951 persons bailed from Now York for Europe. Pointed and True ?The New York Gulden Age, a semi-religious paper, com? ments with severity upon the late parri? cidal tragedy in that city. Says the editor: "This young assassin, Frank II. Wal worth, from the motive which impelled him, tho conrago of his behavior, and his nushriuking determination to fuoe squarely tho consequences of his act, will bo the hero of some shallow eulogists. Bat he should be scourged by the stroke of a public opinion that will brush off the tinsel and glitter of this kind of bravado, and leave him to appear ex? actly what he is?a cold-blooded parri? cide. The law of revenge is too widely praotioed and defended by sooiety. It should be abolished from every man's oode of honor. It has no fit place in the soul of any proud and Belf-respacting man, no matter what are his grievances. In this case, it miserably failed of its purpose, and magnified the ill which it sought to euro. For instance, what has young Walworth done for his mother ex? cept to publish her miseries, add to her anguish and hasten her to her grave?" The case oould not be more graphically presented in its facts and moral bearings than in this brief paragraph, and we aro glad to see it so iffectively summed up in such a quarter. -<?-??-???_? Confederate Monument.?We take from the Charleston Kews the following description of the unfinished Confederate monument, erected in Magnolia Ceme? tery, in that oity: It is built of native granite, and rises from a moss-covered mound, inter? spersed with fresh buds and blossoms, to the height of fifteen feet two-and-a-half inches. The shaft rests upon four bases built in pyramidal form, and the whole is surmounted by a finely corniced cap, upon whioh rests the podestal for the statue whioh will be placed in position at a future day. The main ehaft is four feet six inches square, and tho under bar,o twelve feet square. Upon each side of the main shaft is to be placed a marble slab, whioh will be appropriately oarved. These have not been placed in position yet, bnt, instead, the designs, drawn on cloth, were attached to the co? lumn and served to convey a very accu? rate view of the monument in its com? plete state. Upon the North side of the column will be the following inscrip? tion: "The Ladies' Memorial Association of Charleston. To the brave men who gave their lives in defence c* our homes and altars." "Behold, your Bisters bring their tears, And these memorial blooms." On tho West face is tho coat of arms of the State, Carolina's palmetto, near the foot of which is tho broken trunk of an oak. On the East side will be oarved in bas relief a view of the ruins of Fort Sum ter, and on the South face tho following inscription: "Army of Northern Virginia, Army of the West, Defenders of Charleston, of tho Army and Navy." The ladies of the Memorial Association propose to complote the monument as soon as the neoeeBary amount of money can be raised. It will be surmounted by a life size statue, in marble, of a Con? federate soldier. Death, of a Prominent Colored Man. Wm. Mclunluy died at his residence in Charleston, at half-past 3 o'clock, on Wednesday evening. He had been a member of the Legislature and of the City Council, and was a member of the Board of Education. Ho paid more taxes than nny other colored man in Charleston, and was an upright and honorable representative of the best olass of colored citizens.

A Mysterious Watoii.?A colored pcr eou left with a jeweler on Assembly street yosterday, for repairs, a gold watch, very old, marked 1,777, Margaret Hislof, aged seventy three, etc. Sus? picion was excited concerning the same, and inquiry instituted, as it was known that tho descendants of Mrs. Hislof lived in this city. The namo was all the identi? fying feature, and the present ownor carried his watch away with him. He stated that he procured it from "his old master," and steps have been taken to asoortain who that was, and if tho watch is rightfully in presont possession. [Union-Herald.
