Gen.

Me is not w illing to assume the role of a seek er of the olllce as the acceptance of such an invitation would imply. We believe that there is nothing to pr?vont the nomination of (Jen. Hftgo?d for Governor, unless it should be the centering of delegates ou a third candidate on the ground of the harmony of the party being impaired by the bitterness of the ad herents of the two candidates now most prominently before the Slate. Nor do we imagine thai such a contingency would aviso for Gen.

THE lilOli S( ilOOI.'oF CHARLESTON The City Council of Charleston has empowered the Trustees of the High School to sell the school build ing in Society street, and purchase the magnificent King mansion and grounds for the purposes' of the school. The King mansion is admirably adapted for the school, and although the obi school building is a line one, the change will be an immense im provement. We find a natural interest in this old school, and we are delighted to hear of its llatteriug prospects. The King mansion was recently sold at public saloon very reasona ble terms, and the gentleman pur chasing it, bearing of the desire of the Trustees to secure it, magnani mously turned it overto the Trusties at his bid, although ho was offered a much higher price. a TERlTlBLE scene. A most unfortunate and thrilling accident took place in Atlanta. On., one day last week. It seems that a number of young ladies ami gentlemen had assembled at the Opera Mouse for a public ex hibition. Some ten ladies, just be fore the commencement of the per formance, wore assembled in the dressing room. They were attired in llowillg talctoitH with wings person ating angels. The wings of one of the young ladies happened to touch a gas jit. when the (lames soon com pletely enveloped her. In her excite ment and moving about, the lire was communicated to others in the room and the result was that some four or live of flic performers were most se verely burned. IV?nil the effect of which two of the unfortunate ones have since died. All the help possible was rendered by gentlemen present, but it was to little purpose. We trust that it may be a wholesome warning to all to be careful under similar circumstances. One of the young ladies. Miss May rant, was a native of Charleston. the KELL00-SP0PF0R1) cask. The recent speech of Senator Humpton on this subject in the Sen ate- has awakened a fresh interest iu t his ( out ro\ ersy. It will be remembered that in 1 s7*? Judge Spollord was elected Senator fr.un Louisiana by the legally elected Nichol's Legislature; and at the same time Ivel log was sen! tip by the bogus and fraudulent Packard Legislature. The United Stales Senate being, at thai time, Republican by a small majority, Kol log so raped in and the legally elected Senator was not ad milled. '! he spotless k.-ilog has kept his s;a: ever since, until a short lime back the Sennit1 appointed a Com mittee l" impure into bis tenure. Tin- ('onmdttce, after investigation into the merits of the case, reported, recommending that the usurping Kellog be uuseated, nnd that Judge Spollord, who was elected by the legal Legislature, now recognized and existing, be seated. This report immediately created a howl. The cry of bad policy was he : rd on every side. Mr. Hill,of Georgia, made a most I able and convincing speech in sup port >>f the (.'oinhiiltee's report. I Ma IV Democrats, however, have tak en an opposite position, and among them Senator Hampton. They think i' is bad polit y, ami that the Uemo I ei als will lose by it. Sei-siior Hampton, in his recent oreal speech, takes the ground that the in.itter was s< itled by a previous Sei nie < ominillee and that it cannot now b,- n opened; that if a Senator's sea! is liable to \tV unsettled every lime the Senate changes its political c inplexioit there can be nothing p ?rmnncnl and sLihlc. It seems lo us. however, thai ibis is ll w long light ill w hich to \ i? iv the nuttier. We agree with Senator Hampton that "we should rise above pari\ ." and for this reason wo can not condescend lo the ideal that the T'o-o)...! t. ari 111. <:. c i i ? ?>? Mi. lielloi' because be is a Republican, but they are proposing to unseat him because he is not the legally elected .Senator from Louisiana, and Judge Spollord is, and no State should be deprive*! of its right to a Senator of its own selection [by the arbitrary will of a partisan Senate. [f Ivel log is not Senator?and we would ask, where is the Legislature that elected him??then he ought not to be allowed to hold his seat, no matter what may be the dictates >f policy, or what may be the conse quences to the Democratic party. We cannot endorse the sentiment or idea that a Senators seat should be so linn and unshaken. His scat is always subject to good behavior, and fraud is the worse kind of behavior that we can conceive, of, aud ought never to be connived at, much less tolerated, in the United States Sen ate. The Columbia "Register" says: "No one who knows Senator Hamp ton will, for a moment, permit him self to doubt the Senator's sincere and conscientious discharge of what he conceived to be his duty. Not a few, however, will deprecate with us the great Carolina Senator's concep tion of 'the fixed and immutable principle of justicel by which be finds it necessary, in good con science, to protect and tiefend the seat of a Senatorial rogue who had never been elected by any recognized or lawful Legislature of any recognized State of the Union; nnd who had been seated by the sheer power of a former partisan Senate, which, taking advantage of si bare majority, seated Ivel log against all right, reason, jus tice or truth, and despite the solemn prolest of every Senator of the oppo sition* who denounced, it at the time as the most unrighteous, scandalous and abusive exercise of party domi nance." FIREMAN'S TOURNAMENT. ? * A grand fireman's tournament will take place in Coluurldn, during the sitting of the State Convention, on the 1st of June, I^ive companies from abroad will attend and partici pate in the celebration.

You have killed him as a Presiden tial candidate, so what else do you want? lie was elected President of the United States, and if he was traded otf or tricked out of his seat il was no fault of his. The s-in and cowardice was not in his submitting to the Electoral Commission, but in Democrats permitting-such a fraud to be created.
