This proceeding of the President seems to purjsle tlie minds of every one. Some look upon the nomination of Gen.

Wo have information (hat tuny ho depended on, that since the election many of the. negroes in certain Districts, wlio voted ilia Radical ticket, aro bcgitiing to open their eyes to tho evil consequences of throwing themselves in opposition to the while people, among whom they livo. Tln-y find that they have an interest In keeping friendly t? rm# with the inns* of the white*, anil are becoming satisfied (lint the Ih-moerntic and Conservative party of tho Ktnte, that i*, more timn ninctciith* of tho white and rofpoetnlde population, aro really there befft friend* they give ihnn employment and the mean* of support, and they are learn- i ing the fuel that there iff no disposition to deprive them of liberty and cipiality before the law, as to every rigid of pernon and property. Cut the negroca must find out that they cannot livo ui.d support themselves by voting Itadieal. It is now the solemn duly of evory intelligent whitenuui to talk freely and candidly to the colored people, and givo them to under* stand that there i* an identity of interest between them and the white raeo in promoting the pros|>crily of each other; they cannot expect encouragement and cordial friendship ircpi the whites, wliil.-t tlicy are doing all they can to place over Ibcin the yoke of strangers ami to degrade them bcnestih low rnuntry negroes. Nor is it the interest of the hhu-k man t>> put the government of the State in such hands. High luxes must fall, in the end. heavily upon the laborers of the country, and it is tho interest of all white and black to vote hereafter for those who aro in favor of low salaries, low (axon and economy.

Boovt, the Governor elect of South Carolina, who is to euccoed Qoyornur Our, fortunately for the State, is a uian in whom all parties hare confidence, notwithstanding he was nominated by the Republicans. In thi? respect, South Carolina is perhaps more fortunate thnu some other of bcr sister States of the South. There will, wo presume, be no Brown (owi.m found In Gen. Scott. I| we aro to have a Republican Governor, wo know none that wc would prefer to him. According to tbo opinion of a Radical negro who was a ujiujW of the Convention, there would have been mourning in tho Stato If a certain other | Republican competitor hud been nominated. The Voto in Couth Carolina. In smite of the districts, there was a small turn out of the white vote, less than half, perhaps. In others there was a niO'e r-pectalile sh?.wing. The vote of the blacks is very full, everywhere. They wore well drilled long before the contest in the late election began. The constitution Is entitled by an overwhelming majority of votes.

The Convention In Virginia, just before Ha cloee, adopted a prov:eion of the Constitutlon requiring all officers of the State to take the test oath. The consequence of this iniquitous, selfish party meeeure.'wlll be exceedingly oppressive and injurious to ihat State, should the Constitution be adopted. It la a contrivance to gire every office t? strangers and negroes, and to exclude utterly nearly every decent white man of old Virginia from all pMtieipaliaii in the Government.

Mrs. Keckley, the colored servant of Mr. Lincoln's funiily, says that on the very morning of the assassination, President Lincoln took up a portrait ol Generol Lee, scanned the face thoughtfully, and add : " It is a good face : it is the face ol n noble, un'de, brave man.
