The Connecticut Election.
Although Ingersoll, (tlem.) has been
elected again governor of that State, ye
the vote shows a decided republican gair.

How would the officers and men of the
fleet like to drink Savannah river water?
Dysentery and malarial fever decoction
at only the cost of dipping it up with a
^bucket. A naval station on the Savannah
river would be the means of establishing
a new national cemetery.
.??
Col. U. II. Jones, of the Macon Tele
ffrajtk, makes a slight error as to the water
supply at Port Royal to-the navy. He
states that the fleet are supplied with water
transported from Charleston at an ex
pense of two cents per gallon. The wat-.v
used by the fleet is procured from sprin.s
on Port Royal Island, and costs a cent a:iu
a half per gallon, but Savannah could no:
furnish water of the same quality at any
price.
Till 28th of June next is the centennial
anniversary of the battle of Fort
Moultrie. Under the auspices of the Palmetto
Guard, Capt. G. Lamb Buist. the
occasion is to be celebrated with great
pomp and circumstance in Charleston by
the unveiling of an appropriate and tasty
monument on White Point Garden. The
glories of Fort Moultrie are a fit supplement
to those of Bunker Hid, upon the
heels of which followed close the Declaration
of Independence and made Massachusetts
and South Carolina inalienable
then! why not now? A fair in aid of the
funds of the association to erect the monument
is to be held in the ' City by the

Wi publish this week a letter from D.
F. Appleton, E*i,, of New Y tk. in reference
to public spirit and enterprise at
Port Royal.
Id reference to the threat of tearing up
the track at a place between Port Royal
and Beaufurt, it will be condemned by
every one. The parties got judgment
against the road for right of way, amounting
with costs to $450. It was generally
understood that the right of way ail been
amicably settled prior to the purchase by
these litigants, who purchased ten acre.of
land for seventeen dollars. The road
cuts ofi a small angle of this tract of about
three quarters of an aere, which if as ad
judged by the court to be worth $250
what must be the increased value of the
remaining nine and a quarter acres
in consequence of the railroad running
through it.
That man who attempts or advises the
tearing up of the track deserves to be
transported to a spot in some vast wilderness
where no railroad could ever disttirb
his slumber,?to the jungles of interior
Africa for instance.
At present the U. S. courts have inter
fcred and enjoined the parties from committing
such an act of van ali-m.
The natiou has been plundered to theextent
of millions of dollars by dishonest
Democratic officials, many of these official
now holding high place in the estimation
of their party friends. Bo.'s Tweed, with
his $J0,00O,uuo stolen from the tax-pay
era of New York, was an apt m holar of
modern Democracy. Intrusted to the
custody of a Democratic sheriff, who hud
enjoyed iu other days the princely hospitality
of the persecuted official, the Bos
disappeared betwccu dark aud dayligh
months ago. and nothing has bet-u heard
from him sin-e. It is beiiexed 1\ many

Ot'P. contemporary the Tribune lias dis
covered a pretty big marc's nest, and ad
I ded a chapter to the headstones investii
gat ion by calling attention to the quality
: of the tnaibic which he calls mupstonr
furnished to the National CVmctery at
. Beaufort, and complains that the stone is
! so soli that large pieces chipped off i:i
j unloading, and the lettering was too deeply
cut in some eases, an 1 nor deep enough
j in o hers, so that the in-eription.s were ilj
legible. We .-aw these stone; daily whil-t
I they were unloading an 1 lid not discover
1 this great tcndvr.ey to chip, and on visit{ing
.lie cemetery *.vc failed to discover a
; single stone dr.-figured by being chipped
j in the slightest degree.
| These stones were quarried, lettered.
shipped to Beaufort, carted about a mile
1 to the cemetery, where they were set in
j the ground, and five stone cutters from
I Charleston have been engaged for one
| inont who have gone over every stouc
' bi-veiling the edges, and yet the cost to
| the government has only been three doll
lars and forty cents per stone for those
j lettered, and two dollars and forty cents
j for the posts to mark the graves of the
i unknown. Many of tlie-e slabs would
! rate as statuary marble, and the majority
j as A. !. commercial ma ble, and but a
j small proportion would rate as third cla,is
j commercial marble.
; If rejecting these ' tones is to be a test
; of honesty, we are afraid that but few if
j any would stand the test in this county,
and we fear our contemporary would have
| had to stapd down on that score it he had
visit d the cemetery before he wrote his
L.st week's article.
Most of the noise made about 3?rrup:
tion in the headstone business is by disappointed
parties who had aspired for thi
: eon net, and if we are not mistaken on:
j contemporary spent two weeks a: least
i lobbying in Washington for a contract at
j fourteen dollars per stone, but we don't
: know whether he knew how to work the
f rudiments of "addition, division and silence,"
with which lie charges one of the
j contractors, at least he catuc back n disj
appointed man.
| We wish we could vouch as well for
, kind of bones that are marked by these
J headstones, as we can for the kind of
j marble used, and in passing we behove
1 the writer of the article in the TriOune
; had something to do with tho.-e bones,
! atpl we would rather make the rejection
| of the bones a test of honesty than the re(jection
of the headstone*, as more war

kn'ti.fmkn :?In view of the con line
campaign, where the Republican party is
again confidently expected to eir:v off the
! palm, it behooves every true Republican
to do everything in his power to assist in
rendering the success of his party as
sweeping and complete as you have helped
to make it several times before, and a
j from it< past record it deserves to be again
! furnishing us with the guarantee of a fui
ture successful administration of the afj
fairs of our country and State.
Encouraged 1 y their success in gaining
control of the National House of Repie
scntatives, our opponents arc preparing
j for a strenuous effort not merely to pre"
I serve the advantages already obtained,
j but to clevt its President; and thus get
the do tinies of the nation in their hands.
The speeches and votes of their leading
men in Congress, show that their principles
are essentially unchanged, and that
their success would imperil all that has
j been gained by the late war and t he sub.
j sequent legislation in behalf of human
j rights. The magnitude of the interests
j we have at stake should rouse each lie
i publican voter to the utm ).,t vigilance and
activity. In consequence of the increased
accumulation of important badness before
the National House of Representatives,
j where I endeavor to serve your interests
j to the bist of my ability, it will be impos
I sible for me. to be with you. but knowing
the interests of the patty are in competent
! hands and under the immediate gnat
dianship of each individual Republican
voter, I trust that the desired result* wil!
be attained and con6 lent'y hope thatthi.meetii.g
as well as those which will short!y
follow for the election of a President of
)
j the United States, your Representatives
in Congress and members of the S'are
| Legislature, will be conduced in that
i peaceful and orderly manner, devoid oi
i personal and party feeding, and from the
! beginning to the time when you will again
reach your homes, worthy of a body of
men whose aim is first of all the peaceful
fulfillment of their duty in the selection
! of men iti whose care they connde-itly de1
-ire to place their personal rights and
those of their families, the welfare of
j their State anu the good government of
' their country.
I congratulate you as Republicans, upl
on the suece^ that has been nobly
; achieved by the Republican party in the
i late New Hampshire election which vie/
J torv was in every respect synonymous 01
I the future victory which will he won by
! our party, the party of freedom au<l jus;
tice, in the fail of our centennial year,
j and the victory which our party so nobly.
I fought for and successfully won, I hope
j will encourage you in your struggle for the

j lowing resolution : j
Whnunx the present Legislature elec- i
ted the Hon. W. J. Whipper, one of the I
Circuit Judges of the State of South. !
Carolina, anil whereas the democratic j
newspapers have persisted in abusing and ,
vililying the Legislature for so doing, j
j Now ve the people of Beaufort County !

j \V. ?). Whi|>pes\ for years as a lawyer, j
sian line high in his profession. and a

Then-fine, le it Resolved, That we most !
heartily endorse the art ion ofi

the lion. W. J. \\ hippcr to the position

And he it further Resolved; that the j
Standard and ( oiumercial he re<<".e:ttd j
to puplish tiiia preamble and resolutions.
The Hon. Sannel < Ireen, heartily snp!
parted the resolution. and contended that
the flee:ion of Mr. Whippor, was but an

spirit <?f fairnes* would dictate that 1:0
opposition should ho made from republics#..
to give them one man out of e!^lit
and lie had alwtysrtrcoitously urg?d these
views upon iho.-e who had been
: elected to positions by the
, colored vote. Ho had also called their
: attention to the fart that they hail invai
riahle elevated to*'hose positions Whipper's
inferiors, and th.y advocated his
i election on the ground not only that he
i was a colored man but that he was the
s iperiorofhis opponent who has on several
J occasions since his election disgraced the
I judicial ermine and the party who elected
1 him. lie was proud of the man who afj
tor being elected had the courage to say
i that be would prefer death rather than
resignation, and he would go as far as
j any other mar. to support him in his tiob'.e
resolve. These rcsolutii n met with
his approbation. and he would that they
i hud been stronger.
Mr. Idampfield followed, repudiating
; the assertion that^Mr. Whipper was not
i qualified. He had supported him the
, fjrst lime. and ha 1 becu defeated, so they
I tried again and succeeded * nd he felt
proud at the position that Mr. Whip!
per occupied and no man could have aej
ted more nobly than he had since hi.j
election.
No sooner was he elected than men < f
j his own party, asked hitn to resign, but
1 he answered he would die rather than do
j so. They have plead with him, saying
! that the republican party would go down,
: but when it comes to that, when a color
! e l man is to be elected the republican
| party must go down, he (the snoakc:)
j would say let it go. (cheers.) fie called
! upon the republican party to mantain this
election and ho knew they would do so.
Mr. N. Id. Myers, offered a resolution
that the convention en lorse Gov. D. II.

j Chamberlain, but those who spoke oh|
jected as the resolution was too broad
j and ought to be qualified. A resolution
to adjourn was immedictely adopted.

[Prom vjr Sp-fciai 0. respondent.]
A wonderful chance has taken place in

Many hundred yards of asphaitum walkj

In the Main Hall large show cases,

still in the course of construction. In
j memorial Iiail, the layingofa few tile and
, the addition of a finishing touch here and
j there will render the wails ready for the

I Horticultural Hall has already received
. flowers from the tropics, mosses from the
i frigid zone and choicest plants from every
where, while the reception of vegetable;
; will not interfere with the little painting
which still remains to make the Agricultural
Hall complete. Much anxiety is
i felt on account of tardiness with which
j American exhibitors are bringing forward

j without doubt be in readiness by the
