Ess- We shall have the pleasure of laying be-
fore our readers in our next very able argument
upon the question whether the Governor of this
State has, under the Constitution, the power of
appointing Senator in the place of one whose
term has expired during the recess of the Legsla-
ture, where the Legislature has made no appoint
ment in anticipation, and where neither that Leg
slature nor Congress has fixed by law the time of
appointing Senators" This argument is from the
pen OF the Hon. Robert Strange, of Cumberland.

The action OF the Democrats GubernatoriaI
Convention on Wednesday night, in .lectinE full
set OF delegates to the State Conv ention pledged
TO support the pre,ensons of Walter Mitchell for
the nomination, has been received with scoul
ana bitter denunciatons by the friends OF Sou'he-
ron Key and his custom house allies, who, accus-
toned to success, cannot brook 80 complete an
overthrow. Finding resistance of no avail,
but fifteen out of forty four of the Key delegates
were present when the election took place.
The same party were again defeated yesterday
by the choice of Henry May the Democratic
candidate for Congress from the fourth district,
over Robert M. McLsns, for whom t he district had
been canvassed and drilled for some month past.
The third district, far heard FROM has declared
its preference for Joshua Yansant, both Pink
ney Whyte and William P. Preston. Henry May
will make good poll in the fourth district, con
sidering the dissatisfaction of the friends of Me-
Lane; but the probabilities that Thomas Yeates
Walsh, the present Wing member from the dis
trict will be re elected.

CHAsLssToN DIsTsICT.-in noticing, yesterday,
the very welcome issue of this case, omitted to
mention one of it's most gratifying features. 1t is
this, that, by the withdrawal Of the case in its
present stage, the ruling of his honor, Judge Gill
christ in favor of the consttutionality of our po-
lice laws, to colored cooks, stewards, and sea
men, is left as the soemnly adjudcated law of the
land, binding on all persons, native and foreign;
and, what is still more, thus adjudicated by the
Federal or United States court in this city. We
deem il but justice to bis honor, Judge Wayne,
(who was absent from the city when the case was
argued,) to add that, had be been present at the
trial. there Is every reason to believe, from his
pressed opinions in the celebrated New York pas.
senger case and other cases, his judgment would
have been in full concurrence with that of Jud ge
Gilchrist. We have also good reason for believing
that the Supreme Caurt of the United States, at
present constituted, would unhestatingly confirm
the constitutionality of State law, within
the scope of police regulations, requisite for the
preservation Of our slave institution and our do
mestic peace.

The AMOUNT OF GOLD taken out yesterday by
the Boston steamer (S544, OO0) was larger than
was generally anticipated. Ii has been repeatedly
stated that The present rate of exchange does not
admit of these shipments at profit, yet we find
that gold in large amounts is constantly sent for
ward. There must be mistake somewhere; these
shipments are not made for amusement, and they
have been sufficiently experimental upon to
certain the result fully and correctly. Money ia
comparatively easy in the absence of speculative
demand and during the liquidation of many
tracts and accounts We do not find that il is TO be
had on better terms than six per cent, and in

The veteran actor, W boee recent death brought
heartfelt "Alas, poor Yorick" to many a lip,
Kindly treated in the verses below, by IN esteeme
ontributor. Booth was not an ordinary man; an
We are glad that his decease has called forfn 3
worthy and judicious a tribute to his memory
just now it came into my head,
| know not how il came,
That somewhere have heard or read,
That Junius Brutus Booth was dead,
An actor of some fame.
In Richard be was really great,
Though Kean's was lauded higher;
All parts, when not in tipsy state,
He played with Judgment accurate,
With spirit, force, and fire
His tragic powers high praise bespeak-
His comic claims as high,
Profound in the absurd or weak,
Tie made you laugh at Jerry Sneak,
And almost made you cry.
For to his sense, with feeling rife,
The stun" was not the best
That tragedy of common life,
The loving fool, the tyrant wife,
He deemed a serious jest.
He was scholar deeply versed
Ia old and modern lore;
poet, too, and not the worst;
His lines, when By himself rebearsed,
Were seldom thought bore.
At Hollands lodgings once we met
Our speech on trifles ran
The nothings that soon forget,
But leaves me an impression yet
OF "wit anu gentleman"
bard the humblest of our times,
While sauntering down the street.
Together strung these careless rhymes,
And thought how Oft ambition climbs
AS rOor reward to meet
What lasts of Booth?-a paragraph
Some hippant paper gives;
a lie, or only true by half,
To set on barren fools to laugh
And thus his "glory" hyesl
Green boy, who seest on the stage
Some bully foam and roar,
Thinkest il glorious to engage
Applause, by shamming grief or rage,
Go-be a fool no more!
Few idols of the box or pit
Might well with BOosh compare:
A genius, scholar, poet, wit,
For every rage of talent fit
And Booth is-what?-and where?
In vain his mind was heaven inspired,
By study, too, refined
All nature gave, or art acquired,
Was only for the hour admired,
And then it passed from mind
Life's real scenes should be thy stage
Act we'll and noble there
Subdue thy passions, curb their rage
Thou mayst not mans applause engage
But that of angels share!
