EIGHTH oNGRESsloNA LDIsrRlo4oF vlRG1sz4

The Winchester virginian, at which place the recent
democratic convention to nominate a candidate for Con
gress for the eighth district was held, thus speaks of the
convention and its nominee:
''This body was attended by a large number of dele
gates from the nine counties of the district. See a report
of proceedings in another column. 1t was a great and
glorious convention. That the choice has fallen on one
who will ably, efficiently, and truly represent his district
in the Congress of the United States no one can doubt
We have an assurance of this by his former course,
and by all the elements of the man. Our district has
had a representative in the person of Mr.. Faulkner of
which any constituency might he proud. No man stands
higher in the national councils-none more respected
none more influential. Whatever any man could do for
a district, he can and will accomplish for ours. His
nam has been associated with the highest office within
the gift of the people, and who can doubt that he would
fill it ably. At this important crisis in our political af
fairs, when the great battle is to be fought between the
democratic party and the black-republicans, (who are
seeking TO come into power at the presidential election of
$780, It is important to have able, active, and efficient
men from the South on the battle.f field. ;"
The convention which nominated Mr.. Faulkner ex-
pressed its confidence in the President and his adminis-
tratiOn in tho following resolution unanimously adopted
'Resolped, (s the opinion of this convention That
the President of the United States, by his patriotic deyo-
ton TO the best interests Of his country and by his
wise, prudent, and successful administration Of its for
eign and domestic policy has amply vindioated the wis
dom of the choice which called him TO preside over its
affairs and that we hereby tender him our cordial and
fare against any any and all opposition, whether pro
ccedlng from open and undisguised foes or protesting
friends"

TIE BARK H.. A. RI WINS.


The Savannah Georgia) Republican of Tuesday last
says:
She was taken in st. Joseph's Bay by the United
States steamship Vixen, on the 18th instant, and car.
red into Apalachicola. She had a complete outfit az a
shaver and was without papers.
''lt is currently reported in Savannah that The Raw.
Inns, previous to her capture, landed some six hundred
Africans somewhere on the coast of Florida. This can
hardly be so. She cleared at this port, with a cargo of
rice, for Havana, the 18th December and has not had
ttuc for the trip TO Africa and back.
The Columbia Georgia. Sun of the same date says
''Ihc particulars, as We learn them a gentleman who
left Apalachicola the day the vessel was brought in. are.
that some four or five men stopped at o hotel, stating
that they were part of a hunting party, and had come
there to replenish themselves with provisions and am
munition, and when they went to settle their bin. Maid

it was met by a funeral procession of a portion Of tho
Hibernian Society, with music and banners. The horses
became FESTIVE, and the driver cndeavored to quiet

members of the Hibernian Society seized the horses, and
with sticks beat them Numerically. They then attack

stones from the street threw them at him with such VIC
lence as to throw him senseless from his box, bleeding
severely from the head, which had been cut open by the
stones. The ladies inplored for mercy, but the assail-
ants remained deaf to their appeal, and were in the act Of
upsetting the carriage, when two gentlemcns a~cquaint.

MR.. SWANN AND HIS PETS.


h ~ Prom INC HaIlmofe Republican, March "a
The veto message of Mr.. Swami is handled without
gloves by the morning papers. Its ~verbosity and stupid
ity are themes which his old admirers seem to take O ma
licious pleasure in exposing. The astute idea upon
which the mayor particularly glorified himself, in sug-
costing the proposed increase of fare, is especially funny
The company could not get along with a fare of four
cents, but if you make the fare five cents, and give the
extra cent to somebody else, they will 60 on swimming
ly. The extra cent may possibly keep a good many per-
sons out of the cars, but that will only make them last
the longer, and Of course benefit the company. Most adj
mirable logic worthy of the Prince of Americans, and
eminently worthy of the great patron of know -nothings.
We are but outsiders in the affairs of the city, and leave
Mr.. Swami and his logic in the hands of those who have
heretofore lauded his great financial abilities.

THE REPUBLICANS HEDGING.


IRON te New York News, March "a
Among the triumphs claimed by the black ''republi-
cans during tho last session of Congress was the defeat
of the Post Office appropriation bill The press repre-
s~enting that patriotic combination hailed this achievement
as the very ultima thule of s.republican, happiness. But,
now, IA change has come Ger the spirit Of their dreams.
They have had time for reflection, and finding the people
disposed To take them at their word, and to insist that, as
they claim all the credit, they shall have all the blame,
they begin to hedge and, after a few words in explana-
ton, hesitate, preyaIicate, and finally fatty deny their
own offspring. Here is a specimen brick. The Tribune
OF yesterday says that "the Post Office appropriation
were deliberately, wantonly defeated by Mason, Toombs,
and other southern leaders of the Buchanan democracy,
on the assumption that any other result would be a sacri-
flee of the dignity of the Senate" Can impudence go
further? Was "A somerset ever turned with more agility
