Semincs of au invitatiou from a post of the Grund Army of tbe Iiepublio at Borne, N. Y., to deliver a leoture at that place this winter, for the benefit of tbe "Grave? stone Fund." Tbe letter says: "Tbo cruise of the Alabama, or anything that in your judgment would be of interest," would be acceptable, and tbat "the people of Central New York would ex? tend to you a cordial welcome." We aro confident tbat tbo Admiral would bo muob ploased to assist in commemorat? ing tbe gallant dead of the Union army, bat ex-Confederates bave been recon? structed right out of tboir boots since those events sought to bo commemo? rated, and all have to work pretty bard to make an honest living, and, its tbo Admiral is no exception to the rule, bo cannot spare the time for so lung n journey.

Uso no pigmeuts or dangerous skin applications of any kind. Soleot a married muu, aud tell him bis wife's mother is coming to stay a month witb him. B. B. Extjiott'? Speech.?Congress man B. B. Elliott addressed Ward Olab No. 2 Monday evening, at Carolina Hall, the following report of whioh we take from the Union. A large number of persona were prevent, wbo were not connected with the Club, and who speak well of tbe address: Tbe speaker roferred to tbe Tax. Payers'Convention; he believed that a groat mistake had been made in think? ing that it was a place where buncombe was to be found. It was tbe duty of tbe Republican party to accomplish tbe objects tbey sought for. He referred also to his course two years ago, and that he had been before tbe people, pledging honesty and fair deuliDg. How well this administration bad performed tboee plodges, tbo peo? ple could judge of. So far as be was concerned, be had carried out every pro? mise and every pledge. He had found out early that be had no pert or lot in tbat administration; that ho was a stranger iu bis own camp. His con? science approved of tbe course be had panned. As to tbo selection of candidates for tbe next election, be submitted that now was tbe time to begin to select men wbo would reform the abases in the Republi? can party. It was a duty to do it; tbat the salvation of the party depended upon such efforts; that there was no doubt of a change taking place in tbe politics of the country, and tbat it was tbe dnty of his bearers to understand this, and so conduct themselves that tbey may have a foothold. If you go to tho North?in any Northern State? aud mention tbe name of South Caro? lina, you will find tbe estimate tbat tbey will put upon it there. To mention South Carolina is to merit tbe sneers of the commonwealths of tbo North. Wbeu corruption is spoken of iu other Stuten, it was a different thing; but when it was spoken of in Sontb Caro? lina, it was laid to tho blumo of a negro government. It was, therefore, the duty of tbe colored people of South Ca ruliiiu to demonstrate to the world tbat they desired an honest government. It was time that they did something to re? move this stigmu. There are men of ability, ehuraoter and standing in tbe Republican party to do this. All that was needed was for a movement to bo earnestly set on foot to do this. His conversions with all statesmen were impressed with tho idea that something was to be done. There must be a change, rectification and relief, nud it must come from the oolored men of South Caroliua. This is not a boon to be conferred upon any one else, but upou yourselves. No class of men oould suffer without all suffered. It was the time when the colored people of South Carolina should pluco themselves in line for tbe battle of life. Tbe time is fast approaching when the blaok mau shall bo regarded for his worth as a man, morally and intellectually; wbou they shall stand up lor themselves, labor for themselves aud provide for themselves us other citizens do. He dwelt ut length upon the question of labor, aud argued that it would amount to nothing so long us directed by bruto force, und not by the agencies that euuiroi it in other parls of the1 world. Regarding immigration, be said | there was caujo to bo ieariul of the re? sults, if labor was not made intelligent and skilled. If it wus made skilled, tbe peoplo of the State would prefer tbe colored laborer. If tbis cannot be done, then the white omployer will psefer to have white labor. This is the only plan. It lays with you to remedy. Men are oomiug into tbu Stute who aro skilled, aud the skilled mechanic will always command bettor rates than the un? skilled. It is a practical question, and lays with tbe people. It was nonsense to talk about the immigrants doing any? thing. Thuro may be so mo polities in the movomont, but be was not afraid of tbat; it was tbe natural effect only tbat he was afraid of. These immigrants were not men who came hero as slaves, or as men who wore dictated to as to whom tbey should vote foi. It was not tho political effect?only the effect it would have upon industry. Speaking of tbo character of the Go? vernment, he said: Tbe negroes having bcoo in tho majo? rity aud voted tbe element into power, tbey aro responsible. Tbey have been deceived; will the people be deceived a second time? Will you permit this state of things to coutinne? It cannot be bidden that there is something rotten in Denmark. There must bo no pro? mised reformation, b-tt practical reform. If there be uuy one in tbe way of tbut reform, ho should bo ut onco removed out of the path and uow is tbo time to do it. Tho national Republican party to-day was ready to out aloof upon tbe slightest provocation from tbe corrup? tion now existing in tbo South, and un? less you do something, and that speedi? ly, they will be compelled to cut off tbo rotten branches, lie bad warned them of tbis ruoro tbau a year ago; this was no new thing. One thiug ho kuew, tbut instead of being better, it appears to bo growing worse. Tbu question of tbo Tax-payers' Con? vention is no sore-head movement. The people have a right to petition under tho Constitution, aud when it came it would como from bis ooustituontH, whe? ther they voted for biin or not, and bo was bound to have it properly referred. That petition will be considered; and do uot allow yourselves to bo misled about it. Tho only way yon can prove that you Byrnyatbizo with an honest adminis? tration of affairs, is for yon to give uo tico to those who have muladmtnlstcred affairs to quit; for you to brine; forward u uew set of men. It is your duty to vindicate yourself, aud prove to tbo world that you aro in sympathy with those wbo waut an honest government. Ho bad no cause hero to aunonuce or champion the cause of any particular set. Bat it was his doty to point atten? tion to errors that bavo nearly resulted in the bankruptcy of the State. It was time that the b?nde that had caused these errors were stayed. It does not mean the ascendanoj of one particular set of men over another, but it means order and good government. The op? posite course would breed revolution and anaroby. At a very successful seance in Cincin? nati, the other night, a man burst into tears when a medium described very ac? curately a tall, blue-eyed spirit standing by him, with light Bide whiskers and his hair parted in tho middle. "Do yon know him?" inquired a man at his sido in a sympathetic whisper. "Know him? I guosa I do," replied the unhap? py man, wiping his eyes. "He was en? gaged to my wife. If he hadn't died be would have been her husband instead of me. Ob, George, Georgel" he mar mered, in a voice choked with omotion, "why did you peg out!" The Late Mcbdeb at Sumteb.? We learn that three oolored men, charged with being implicated in the robbery and subsequent murder of Mr. Henry Widdekind, in Snmter, a few days ago, are now in jail. There is an? other one alleged to bo concerned in the affair who is yet at large, though every exertion ia being made to effect his ar? rest. It is stated that fonr colored men I wore in the Btore just before Mr. W. abut up for the night, and saw him put the money (860) in his breast pooket. Married, on tho 5th iust., by Bov. Mr. -, H. H.

Worth's newest freak is embroidery on street costumes of the most elaborate and exquisite patterns. The black silk suits recently imported from bis eotab-i lishment uro tho perfection of taste.1 The embroidery is all done by hand,! is mixed with fine bluek jet beads in reckless profusion. Tho general passenger agent of the1 Now Jersey Ccutral Railroad says no-t body was killsd by the accident on the Lebigh and Susqucbanna Road. The| engineer and firomuu were burned. No; cars burned. It is reported that a new und alarming; horse disease is affecting stage and street cur linns in New York. A large; number of animals have been prostrated; but tho mortality, except in the case of one stage line, is small. The Rome (Ga.) Courier says the iron! furnaces of that vicinity are each turn? ing out from fifteen to twenty tons of pig iron per day. Mr. David L.
