ssay- The late election of Hon. JAMES Cues

Esly- The late election of Hon. JAMES CHEs-
NUT as Ucited States Senator in South Caro-
lima, is stated by the Charleston Netrs to have
been q decided triumph of the conservative sem
timent in that State The NewS says: Mr..
CHEsNUT before election clearly and frankly de-
fined his political position in response TO con-
versational inquiry. 1t was in brief, that he
was State-rights, anti Convention, and anti
slave trade man. He endorsed in the main,
he Blrnwell speech of Senator HAMMOND, and
the personal and political relations Of these
gentlemen place them in the fullest and most
salutary accord as colleagues. Mr.. CHEsNUr is
in the prime of life, with ample margin of age
for study, training, as statesman. lie has a
clear and sagaciOus mind, even temperament
and manner, firm and high spirit, and combines
conservatism with decision. To a sufficient
readiness in debate he adds clear logic and
calm dScernment. The purport of this Sena-
torial election cannot be mistaken. 1t sustained
State-rights 1t absolutely condemned the ag-
itation Of the saye-trade question. 1t indica-
ted the policy that the people of the State
should not merge in any party but when ad-
visabe, should cooperate as allies, not parti-
zans, with the Democratic party Of The South,
1t gave assurance that Senator HAMMOND
would receive the con6ding support Of his

THE HEALTH OF New ORLEANs.-The New
Orleans journals are ngratulating their read
rrS upon the disappearance of the yellow fever
from their city The epidemic of 1858, though
longer in duration than that of 1853, has not
carried off as many victims. Up to the present
time there have been this year 4,S6O deaths
the disease, which presented some symptoms
dissimilar from that which the city was effect
ed five years before. The health OF New Orleans
may now be considered restored business is
frightening, and the city is rapidly filling up
with strangers.

A QUEER CAsE-Mr' George Erwin is
man of itigous disposition, and never so hap
by as when getting up the prelemlnares OF a
suit at law. Iu the Court Of Quarter Sessions
the other day, before Judge Ludlow, he ap-
peared to prosecute charge made by him
against Mr. John IL. Purdy Of having sold
polcies on lottery drawn in Maryland
The Indictment also charged the defendant
with divers other evil disposed persons, as
vet uukn own, with unlawfully and wckedly
conspirng, combining, eoniederatlng and
agreeing together unlawfully, and wckedly
contriving and intending to acquire unjust
lucre to themselves, to sell and expose Tor sale
within the city and county OF Phlladelphia,
and to cause and procure to be sole, and ex-
posed for sele therein certain lottery tickets
or policies. to be drawn in said State of Mary
land, 20 the evil and pernicious example Of
all other persons 10 ike case Offending.
The trial of this case used up whole day,
and two lawyers Erwin in his evidence,
alleged that he had spent much money IN lot
terry policies, and that the defendant had ad-
mitted to him that he (Purdyl was the agent
in this city for certain parties IN Baltimore
who we're interested in the sale OF lottery po-
lices. The witness upon being pressed, was
unable to give any evidence more positive
and decided than this to sustain his charge.
The defence produced number OF witness,
who testified that the defendant was engaged
in regular and respectable business (tele-
graphing that he bore an excellent charac'
ter and moreover, that they would not be-
lieve Erwin upon his oath.
The counsellor the defendant made astrong
speech, contending that the prosecution was
a black mailing operation throughout, and
that the sole object Of the prosecution was tc
extort money.
The jury without leaving the box, rendered
a verdict of mot guity-the prosecutor tc
pay the costs" ,....,
A few more such verdicts will probably
cure Mr.. Erwin of his ability, if not OF his
taste for litigation. People Of similar dis
positions will please notice.
