THE matrimonial record Qf. the last weekly Nets and 'ourir contains a list of seventy weddings in different parts of.the State. TuE New York Herald is a Conk ing organ for the present.

Pretty good, that. SoXE one having suggested the lion. B. F. Crayton, of Anderson, for Gov ernor next time, the Abbeville Medi ton says that Mr. Crayton would make an excellent Governor, but that he wol't get the place, as he does not be long to the ".ing." The Medium should furnish a benighted public with the names of those connected with this shadowy, though terrible, organiza tion. PRESIDENT HASKEIL answers the question of the Iews and Courier . why the Charlotte lRoad has changed its schedule. He says the condition of the road all along the line, in conse quence of the pheiotnenal weat.her, has necessitated a slower schedule be tween Augusta and New York. lie hopes that the old schedule will soon be restored. Telegraph Monopoly. The consolidation of all the tole graph lines has caused renewed agita tion on the part of those who desire a governmental tlegraph. Every con solidation is marked by an increased waitering of stock, until now the com biiation represents eighty million dol lars in shares, while its real value is said to be but twenty millions. A dividend of six per cent. on the par value of this stock icans tweuty-our per cent. on the Imloniey actially it vested. This extra tax the pub to pay by .wuy Ufj, a 's for V1QUZtges.

One remuedy proposed is to lput all the l ines unader governitimint cont Irol. For the past decad~e the Britih gov erunmnt has managed the telegraph as wvell as the postal service, with mlost beneficial result s. Businiess has la rge Jy increased on accountt of' thle rednei tion jin rates, and smaller communit ies have beeni specially benteflied. Two objectione exist to this proposition. first, that it is inot al legitimlate object .of Federal adminitstrationt ; andi sec ondly, which is of more imipor'tance, that thtis scheme would give a further' increase of sixty or seventy thousand government emptiloyes to anl already inordinat'ely swollen civil service. In Grieat Britain, .governtet em ployes hold their offices for' good be havior, antd are not permuitted to palr ticipate ini electionts, so that no menace exists to the political freedom of the peop)le. The conditions are tar (differ ent ill the Uitted States. rThe im InenseI5 patronage of the governmenti, wielded for partisani, atnd tregnlently for corrup~t punrposes, htas alreadly al most destroyed free elect ins.

Not until this danger~ be removed will the people generally contsent to a governlmental telegraphl system. rThe scheme possesses decde~ld mer~tits if this ditliculty is obviated. Another suggestion is that the gov ernmnt prescribe ttmximumit rates. * This is the best solution, provided it is not1 ini conflict with the law.

There can be no reflecting citizen but must contemplate with proud pleasure the prospectively grand future of this Union, and (evoutly de sire the propitious conditions that.will promote it. Every section of the country is deeply interosted in the perpetuation of the Union, a harmoni Ous interpretation of the constitution, and in allaying party passiols, es1)0 cially of parties as now divided, for it scarcely need be asserted that a dis ruptioni of the Union would forever mar the prospect ; or that the present want of' hariony, intense antagonism of political part-ier, sadly retards it. But the South is More nearly conceCrn ed than other sections. From sparsc ness of' population and lack of capit al, not to mention the disastrous results of the late war, she lingers Far in the rear in the geleral forvard move, al though her natural advantage:< are not insignificant when compared with those of other portions of tle cotiit ry.
