iA>WMBIA;^. O. _ i. ii at?a .??" ? ' " ," Saturday Morning. Feb. 13, 1875. Election of Major A. J. ?h?w Jadge ?f Third Clrcalt. The Senate appeared on time, yes? ter dny, at 1 P. M., in the House of Represent a ti Tee, to engage with it in the election for Judge of the Third Cirouit. Humbert, of Darlington, nominated a candidate who, he said, had repented, and the repenting sin? ner ought to bo rewarded. His candi? date was convicted by his own convic? tions to pursue the course of tho Re? publican party. Ho urgod that his oandidate was simply a gentleman that the world has known. He had fallen in the ditob, but it was propor to help him out. After this exordium, he nominated F. J. Moses, Jr. Bos? ton, of Newberry, seconded this nomi? nation. He admitted that F. J. M., Jr., had a bad name and a bad recom mondation, bat he bad laid the busts of restored credit ia the suggestion of the measure to scale tho public debt. Mr. Hiraoh, of Williambbarg, urged the importance of the Legislature not placing a man in tho office of Judge of this Oirouit who resided out of it. He nominated Mr. L. O. Northrop, anl was seconded by Mr. Curtis, of Biohland. Jefferson, of Aiken, pre? sented the claims of W. J. Whipper, and Samuel Green, of Beaufort, came forward to enforce them, mainly, as he said, because there was danger of the election of a worse man. Robert? son, of Beaufort, pictured tbe world aa looking on in tbe intenaest interest at the doings of the South Carolina Gen? oral Assembly. It must now or never retrieve' ita shame, or go down; he didn't Say where it was, but to some lower depth than it has yet reaohed. He offered the name of O. D. Melton, and challenged tbe Republican patty to vote for any other man. Red-hot Jones seconded Mr. Melton's nomine-' tion, but steadily and with a flourish voted for, F. J. M., Jr. Mr. Hayne, Of Marion, presented the claims of Maj. A. J. Shaw, as a man of ability, of attainments and of justice. Warley rose to second this nomination, us it was thought, being the only one not seconded, but wound up with eulogy of F. J. M., Jr. . Whereupon the Pre? sident of the Senate referred to him as one who had lowered, the dignity of the .Senate by his conduct. Whereat Wailey was exceedingly irate, and de? sired to know whether the President bad said what be had just said. Not heeding this demand, the President ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms to re? press tbe irrepressible member, who, as tbe tall Sergeant laid bis baud gently on him, quietly subsided, and all was over. Hamilton, of Beaufort, did very well?what Warley wus ex peoted to do and did not. He said that be was bound to vote for the best material. No candidate of equal merit to Mr. Sbaw had been brought for? ward from the Republican side, and hence bo would disregard party and look only to fitness. The balloting commenced and went on smoothly to the end of tbo 4th, when, at 3 P. M., the Houses sepa? rated, each to consider a motion to take recess. On tbe 1st ballot, Mr. Shaw received 42 votes, Mr. Nortbrop 42, Mr. Moses 86, Mr. Whipper 7. On the 2d ballot, Sbaw got 42, Northrop 41, Msses 86, Whipper 7, Melton 6, scattering 6. On the 3d ballot, Shaw 42, Northrop 43, Moses 87, Wbipper 6, Melton 4, scattering 5. On tbe 4th, Shaw 40, Northrop 47, Moses 87, Whipper 7, Melton 5, scattering 2. The Houses having determined to go on with the election, a fifth ballot was bold, with tbe following result: Nor? tbrop SO, Shaw 85, Moses 85. The excitement ran very high at this time, one or two of the friends of Sbaw hav? ing booome despondent and oast their votes for tbe next bent choice as they viewed it. This acted as a precipitant of votes held in solution, and on the next snd lust ballot, Major Sbaw came in with flying oolore, having received tbe handsome testimonial of 75 votes, to 56 oast for Mr. Northrop. We are highly gratified at this re salt. Mr. Sbaw is a worthy gentle? man and ablo lawyer. He is admira? bly qualified by his native parts, his legal and sobolsrly attainments, bis large experience, and bis unsullied in? tegrity of character, all united to judicial fairness of mind, for tbe dis? tinguished position to which be has been advanced* We congratulate tbe General Assembly upon this recogni? tion of merit without reference to po* lUioal professions, and we congratulate the State that it hae added to ita judi? ciary one who is able' to illaatrate and adorn its service. TH? Arkaniai Hcuigc Likely to Proire av Kicking Hun. Tbe message of Presid-nt Graut to tbe Senate in relation to Arkansas af? fairs is having tbe effect of opening tbe eyes of tho people of tbe North, and has already, it is said, caused a split among the Republicans of the House of Representatives. Tbe Senate is his stronghold, and will be tbe last placo where any change will be mani? fested. The first feeling everywhere upon reading this message was sur? prise nud alarm. Only last spring the President refused to recognize Brooks as Governor of Arkansas. Less thau I four mouths ago bo declined to inter? fere with tbe Garland Government m that State. The wonder is, what has I produced so complete a cbaugo in his I views and policy? He uot only says, I now, that Brooks was uleotcd iu 1872. I but intimates pretty plainly that be [conceives it to be his duty to take I tbe requisite rteps to reinstate I him. Ho complains also of the change I in tbe Constitution, eeemiog to deny I tho people tbe right to make it. This I he does just as a respectable commit I tee of Congress has returned from the I Stute, reporting that tho new Consti I tion and the Garland Government aro I cordially support id by the people; I that tbe Constitution is regular in I form and substance, aud the State I reasonably qniet and peaceful. It is I uoticeablo that his language is modeled I upon that of the one dissenting mem I ber of the Congressional Investigating I Committee whioh represents the rights I of the minority as overthrown. But I it is uotorious tbut, since tbe troubles I between Brooks and Baxter were I quieted, nothing has occurred in the I State of Arkansas which has. called for I Federal interference. As to tbe Presi I dent's complaint that as this State has I changed its Constitution, others may I do so likewise, and tbe whole scheme I of Congressional reconstruction come I to an end, it shows exactly what nar? row idea be has of the rights and liberties of peoples and States. I He is evidently of tho opinion I that these States are still in I the hands of Congress, to be I cuffed down when it pleases. Wnat I ever technical irregularities may have I marked the Constitutional Convention I of Arkansas, are common to it with I other States whioh bavo made changes I in their constitutions. "Not lees than twenty-six States," I says the Baltimore Sun, in discussing I the President's ominous message, "oar {own among tbe number, have modified I their constitutions without reference I to modes prescribed by previous legis I lation, or even existing constitutions. I Various constitutions of Maryland, in eluding that formed by the Repnbli cans iu 1864, were thus created. It is I known, also, that the present Consti? tution of New York was framed und I adopted in 1846 in disregard of the j provisions of the Constitution that preceded it, it being held there, us it 1 had beeu held elsewhere, that the per I mission of tbe Legislature uud ratifiou I tion by a majority of the people was a sufficient warrant. There is just us much authority for President Grunt to send an army into New York, Mary I laud, or any of tbe other States which I have formed their Constitutions iu I this manner, as there is to subvert by Federal bayonets, or by any other I agency?if be so contemplates?the existing Constitution of Arkansas. If there ia uu irregularity in the latter lease, it was the same irregularity iu jour and all tbe other States, and in uil lit was the work of the people, who I were once supposed to be supreme iu this country, especially iu making their fundamental law." From tbo Washington correspond? ence of the Sun we aro gratified to barn that tbe majority of tbe mem? bers of tbe House are disposed to ad? here to tbe Poland report. Republi? cans from both tbe West and East regard tbe coarse of tbe President with stern disapproval. A lively dis? cussion is anticipated among the Re? publican members exclusively. A leading Republican from New England said that this Arkansas message had dusbed to tbe earth whatever hopes might have boon entertained of car? rying New Hampshire and Connecti? cut for the Republican party in tbe spring. Tbe President is fast estab? lishing himself as au obstruction in tbo way of the success of tbo best ele? ments of his party. When be effec? tually divides it, his eni will oome and his fall be certain. Captain James Iredell Waddell, tbe gallant commander of tbs Confederate I cruiser Sheuandoah, has recently re Oeived tbe appointment as commander of one of the Paoiflo mail steamers, plying between San Francisco and the ports of China and Japan. He will enter upon his active duties in a few weeks.' Three sisters of Dabaque are so set iu their temperance principles, that they make the hired girl smell tbe breath of every young gentlemen caller and report the result before admittance j to the parlor can be obtained. A Better H?l? tn?n F?rty. Ia an artiole ia reference to the then approaching eleotion for Judge, pub? lished bj as two days ago, wa depre? cated the introduction of party spirit into it. We ventured even further, and expressed oar belief that'the pub? lic opinion of all classes, races and parties bad fixed upon a gentleman for the distinguished position upon higbor and bettor grounds than any consideration of mere party HRoend ancy. We are very much gratified that this anticipation was realir.-d in the election. The choice of Major Sbaw was concurred in, yesterday, by Republicans of all political hues, und by representatives of the oolored ruce, just as cordially as by Conservatives. This is very much to their credit, and wo note it us ua evidence of good judgment aud good feeling far above tho teachings of their party aui politioal instructors. It was a practical repudiation of the bigoted policy which would apply ihe narrow party measure to tho deci? sion of merit and fitness, for au office which should kuow do party, race or coudition among men. It is a most hurtful rule, and one which, by subor? dinating talent, acquirement, experi? ence and integrity to lower cousideru tions tends to degrade the public ser? vice Tbe members who rose supe? rior to it are ?ut.it led to the commenda? tion aud thanks of the country. -< %t? - dim lento ii Iluibur. We are pleased to notice in tbe pro? ceedings of tho House of Representa tivos at Washington, on last Monday, bili by Mr. L. Cuss Carpenter, making an appropriation for the improvement of the harbor of Charleston, which was referred to the Committee on Com? merce. We trust that ho aud the other members from this State will uot relax their efforts in this direction. It is a shame aud a crying injustice, that a liberal appropriation ia uot voted without delay to this important ob? ject. Card of Thanks ?The ladies in charge of tho sapper for tbe benefit of Washington Street Church, beg grate? fully to acknowledge tbe kindness of tbe Phoenix and the Union-Herald in gratuitous printing; to Messrs. Duffle and Chapman ia lending their piano; and of Messrs. Kingaland & Heath iu furniBbing the crockery used on the ooaasion. They would also return thtir thanks to Messrs. Denck and Bawls for tbeir moderate charge for the music whioh added so much to tbe pleasure of the entertainments; to the oommitteo of gentlemen for their assi? duous labors; to the young ladies iu charge of the tables for the graovful discharge of their duties, aud to the whole community for generous aid and liberal patrouage. -_ ? Mil Eoiron: I notice that tho Iii tie place near Alston, ou tbe Oreeuvilte and Columbia Railroad, We-t side of tbe river, known by uhiuq of Peak Station, bids fair to do well, but the inconveniences and disadvantages the business men uro now laboring under, causes a great draw-back. There is no depot or regular delivery for freight, and the consequences are, that they ure put to u great deal of txpense, trouble und danger. Having no de? livery for freight, renders the place unaccommodating, all goods being un? loaded on the East side of tho river. There are five or six merchants liviug three or four miles from Peak Station, who huvu their goods hauled from Co? lumbia and the South Carolina Rail? road dopot, just behaute they cannot get these goods unloaded on the West side, who say they would much rather aud prefer gettiug their freight by rail? road, if it was not for the great trouble already explained. Outside of tbe merobuuts, quantities of tho farmers woald ship their cotton by rail, in place of hauling on their wagons, if 'twas only so they oould ship from Peak tbeir ootton down, and get their freight np. Tbe skillful Superintend? ent, (Ool. Dodamead.) we hope, will assist the people around and at Peak Station, by giving thorn what tbey ne oeFsarily need and ask for?a delivery of freight. Tbe public would be under many obligations to tbo Colonel, to have them accommodated. The trou? ble, expenses and disadvantages are notioed by more than wne or two?by the pablio, who know and talk of tbe inconveniences, Arc. A MERCHANT. BUCK SHOT FOB A BLOW.?List Tuesday morning, a negro man, named Levi Thomas, wss shot and mortally wounded, about a mils and-a-third from Langley, S. C, by John Wil? liams, bis step-son, Aged about eight? een. Thomas was catting wood with some other parties, when ho was ap? proached by Williams, who asked him why ho strook bis wife, Williams' mother. Thomas denied that ho struck her, whereupon Williams fired upon him with a shot-gun, lodging a number of buck-shot ia hip body, and inflicting wounds from wbiob Thomas died that night. Williams fled, and has not yet been arrested. It is a melaooboly fact that those who declare war are never called upon to do tbe fighting; it they were we suspect there would be uot the slight? est amusement of this oature.

It .'juiin to be produced by two causes; one an unexplained continental d inland, which has drawn largely on tho stock of bullion in the liir-k of England, aud, second, by tbe demand here for United States securities, which bad to be obtained from abroad, and the gold paid for them. It is probable this explains tbe outflow of gold from England aud the corresponding ship? ments from this oonutry to supply the vaouum. As this process is one of debt-pnyiog on our part, it is not to be regrotted. Another result of tho ad? vance, is to stimulate the exports of produce from this conntry, and thus aid iu the re-establishment of the equilibrium. The fact that tbe Bank of England Directors have made no chauge in I. > rate of discount, shows that the financial judgment there is, that the flurry will be of but short con? tinuance. Tho home demand for Go? vernment securities, which has been unusually brisk sinoe the middle of January, indicates that mnch of the money then received as dividends has sought these bonds for investment. Youthful Diplomacy.?A little six year-old girl in Monroo went into a store where her father wan, tbe other day, and, sljly approaching him, said: "Papa, won't you buy mo a new dress?'' "What! bny you a now dress, Susy?" "Yes, papa, won't yon?" "Well, I'll see; I'll speak to your mo? ther about it." Elongatiou to an alarming extent rapidly spread over that little oountenauce, but a thought suddenly struck her, and, with a smile, abe looked op into her father'a face and said: "Well, papa, if you do speak to mamma about it, do it easy, or she may want the new dress herself 1" The father at once saw the point, and tbe new dresa was purchased.
