ot the immediate adiniseion of Kenyan into

or party tactice could devise, to seduce or .
drive tbe President from that position, has ]
been brought to bear upon him, and at times ,
it baa seemed that he was about to be completely
overwhelmed by the number* and 1
tierceuess of bis opponents. The entire '
li)i)ck Republican party at tbe North raised
one universal howl over what they deuounc- i
ed as treason to the Constitution and the
cause of popular light*. To a man endow- 1
ed with ordinary nerve, this could be withstood;
but lie bnd other enemies to encounter,
that had gone out from the midst of his

than Black Republican legions, and the open '
treachery of former friends, the South?the
great unbroken, chivalrniM, Democratic
South, that placed hint in position and
woretodefend his Administration? throughout
the fiery struggle, has stood aloof with
arms folded and countenance serene, looking
calmly upon the scene, leaving him, with a
few faithful adherents from the North, to
contend alone with the powerful adversary,
if indeed, some of them have not secretly
prayed that lie might fall in the contest.
Such has been the history of affairs at
Washington since tlm commencement of the
present Congress. We do not exaggerate.!
The picture is faithful to the life. We have j
no motive to draw it otherwise, and no in
terest in the matter beyond what every patriotic
citizen should feel for the success of a
just cause and the aseenuaiicy of correct
principles.
There are many gratifying evidences that
the President intends manfully to maintain
his position in the face of all this discouragement
and fiery opposition. The Black lie
publicans tiegin to complain that he "snubs
the impertinent interineddlers whom they
have sent there, singly anil in committees,
to deter him from the fearless dischaige of
his duty. This is a gotsl sign, and we hope

members of Congress, too, wlio thought, with
the great Black Republican party at their
backs, they would he stronger than the President,
have begun to count the cost, and
back out from their calculations.
The mott cheering account that we have,
though, is fioui the Black Republican Press.
The special correspondent of the Tribune,
under date 27ih ultimo, gives the following
hopeful account of atfairs, which proves that
the President has only to stnnd firm, to
triumph over every op|>o.-ilion :
"The aspect of the Kansas question has
changed in the House since last week, and
changed for the worse. As there is hope of a
Pro-Slaverv State (ioverninent and Legisla- ,
ture underCalh urn's count ing, it is determined
that tho Lecomplon baud shall be put
through. 1
" And it probably will l?e. Douglas has !
spent his force and weakened his position i
by ostentatiously clinging to his party.? ,
The Northern Democracy are hacking down.
"Ten Pennsylvania members have given
in their adhesion to Lecomplon ; among
them Mr. Landy, previously repoited to be '
nnti-Lecompton. Of the New Jersey Pern- <
ocrats, Mr. Adrain alone holds out. Of the ,

of no use. Douglas has fallen between two '

succeeded."
With this showing in behalf of tlie President,
we have no doubt be will soon be 1
blessed with a plenty of fiiends in all pails
of the country?even Southern Congress- <
men will awake from their long slumbers
and discover that he is a " marvellous proper (

The Vacancy in this Congressional District.
The probable refusal of Col. Our to serve
for a longer period than tie present session
of Congress, has brought forward the names
of several gentlemen in connection with that
distinguished position. So far, we have seen
the names of none but worthy individuals,
whose claims have been set forth truthfully,
yet modestly, by their respective friends.?
No one will deny that in casting about us
for a successor to Col. Oku, who has repre
sen ted us with such signal ability and etedit,
that lie should be a man upon whose
shoulders the mantle of Congressional honors
should fall deservedly and woithily. To
be a Representative from the South?a sec
tion of country which is daily growing
weaker in power in the national Congress,
and whose lights require tho sternest anil
most uncompromising support?is a position
of no small importance, and should be
accepted only by those whose inclinations
lead them to lie devoted to its rights and
honor. The time has past when tho servi- ,
ces of sycophants, hirelings, and Northernloving
politicians, should be eschewed by
nil lovers of the South and her cherished institutions.
The timo has likewise past when
we can longer hope for support beyond our
>wn holders, or defence from other than otir
>wn Uepresentatives. The lies which have j
litherto hound lite Northern and Southern j
wings of the great Democratic party, have
>ne hv one been severed, until the only liga- I
nenls that now remain to make them a party,j
nre tho?o which are supposed to exist I
through the cohesive power of office and
emolument, and we, as a people, will have to
look alone to ourselves for the chances of
protection. Our Uepresentatives to Congress
mu>t be men imbued with the principles :
.?f Stales Uights?those glorious pi indoles
which animated the bosoms of the lovers of
the Republic in the days of Lowndes, McDlfkik
ami Calhoun, and, with a knowledge
that from the North we can receive
no further assistance and co-operation, let
them be prepared to submit to no tnore cou
cessions or compromise*, it litis Union is to
remain a glory and a piide among (lie nations
of the earth, our statesmen must be
above the low trickery which has hitherto
brought reproach upon us. Let them ask
nothing that comports not with fairness and
justice?hut, above nil, submit to nothing
lhat is a rung.
We are happy to know that there are
many in our Congressional District who
would represent us with ability and honor,
lint we have seen the name of no one that
we think will meet with a heartier response
ban that of our townsman?Gen. W. K.
Kaslky. io ... w.ery respect reliable afcd
rust worthy, and should he be a candidate,
io will certainly receive a hearty support
rom every portion of the Congressional Disrict.
With a mind highly cultivated and
itored with valuable and practical informaion,
lie possesses a generous and noble heart
?a high-toned and chivalric spirit. The
lonor of the South, and her cherished priu;iple?,
will find in hiin a staunch and able
iefender, and into his keeping might safely
be entrusted. Ilis oratorical powers are un-1
equalled in the Congressional District, and no
one more deeply schooled in the learning so
essential to the statesman. We do not know
that he will consent to be a candidate, but
this we do know, his election would give
eatUfaclion to a largo and influential portion
Easlky, we have no dUpoJ
dtft to disparage or overtook lira claims of
other gentlemen. What w't have said, we
conceive'to be due to deserving merit.

Tuesday night, left the tttck In fine condi
tiou for (be mettled courser* to win ft fame
or lose ? name upon, ftundreds of splendid
and, dashing turn-outs were rapidly rolling
up the streets to the course, and by 1 o'clock,
the hour of starting, - the handsomest and
most elegantly dressed women Charleston
can claim, lent their sparkling eyes and bewitching
smiles to the occasion. Of course
tiie lords of creation, and the turf in particular,
were dancing attendance, and doing
liouiHfre at tliA shiinn of lienutv. in countless
O ' ? ? '
numbers. Nicholas and Lizzie McDonald
were to open tiio ball with four mile beats.
The excitement was intense. Gloves were
freely staked by the ladies, and the dust bv
the gentlemen, as to tho result.
Soon after the start, Lizzie showed her
opponent her heels, allowing him to keep
provokingly near. As they swung into the
home stretch, on the fourth mile, she was
still ahead, which position she maintained
until the end, winning by a length. The
next heal was run in tine style, although, to
the suiprise of many, Lizzie came in winner
again by several lengths, thus winning the
race in two straight heats. 13y predicting the
success of Nicholas in my last, I have proven
myself no prophet in regard to horse flesh
and their actions; still, it is admitted by no
means as a fair test of speed and bottom.
Tho horse is of fiery mettle, and seemed to
have lost by tho peculiar manner in which
ho was jockeyed. lie pulled hard on the
bit throughout, by which he appeared fretted
and restrai red too late to close ihe gap.
When we again hear from them, knowing
turfmen believe we will hear of his success
over his now fortunate competitor. During
this race, the best time ever made on the
Washington course was made by Ljzzie Mc
lJonald? 1 : 7.41^.
The Hutchinson stake* were won on the
same day l?v Gov. NVioklifte, in 1.51 1.40}
For this thero were four entries, but the little
Governor proved hiin<elf too much for
the field. This is tho second trophy he has
lately carried oil", having won a race in Savannah.
On Thursday it was raining in torrents,
but the ardor of the lovers of the tuif could
not be dampened by it. The Jockey Club
purse was run for through mud and rain.
For this there were three contestants?Tar
Uiver; Shockoo hiuI Agitator. It was carried
otr by the little black rejoicing in the
euphonious title of Tar Uiver, in two three
mile heats. Time, 5.54?5.57.
The South Carolina stakes were run for
to-day. for which there were two entries ?
John Linton and Mr. Purgciii V chesnut coll.
The former was declared winner, as the rider
ui i lie colt wa* accused of foul play.
On Friday there were four horse* ready
at the call of the drum?Engineer, Matt
spangler. Muidorc, and a colt of Mr. Canlev'*.
The race wan for two mile heals,
which win won hy Engineer. On the same
Jay there was another run of two nwlo heat*,
which was won hy Gov. Wickliffe.
There were several entries for the three
mile race on Saturday, and Lizzie McDonald
and Nicholas among them. However, as
they wero all withdrawn, the race was left to
Shockoe and Agitator. It was easily won
by the former, a beautiful sorrel.
The next and last of the regular races, as
well as one of the most exciting, was a sin*
gle dash of three miles. For this five formidable
opponents came up to the string?
Engineer, Matt Spangler, Tar River, Moidore
and a bay colt. Tar River's former easy
victory, made his friends sanguine of bis
success, but the gray (Engineer) swept the
ground with the case of a bi;d. lie took
the lend at starting, and kept it throughout,
winning by a neck, though made to use bis
pins in <piick lime by Spangler.

A most daring robbery took place at the
theatre on last Saturday evening. A young
man, a collector fo; a mercantile Lotus in

containing $8,000 in bills and notes. As
soon as he discovered his loss, he left the
theatre and made a report at the police office.
A captain and detachment ef police
were then despatched. to at rest the *.mef.
The doors of the building we?? <&>sed, and
a rigorous search Instituted, but the offender
was non f?t, nor has anything yet occurred
to throw light on the affair.
