Contest in South Carolina Over the Unior
SD0iIs.


Contest in SOath Carolina Over the Union
SpOils.
The Southern papers state that a brisk
canvass is going on in South Carolina, for
the Senatorship, to succeed Mr.. Hammond.
Mr.. Keitt and various others are competing
with the present incumbent.
The ways of Southern politics are past
finding out. The South Carolina papers
announce the election of Lincoln as inevi-
table, in which event it will be high treason
for any South Carolinian to remain in Con-
gress. The Charleston Mercury advises that
Lincoln's election shall be the signal for
secession, without waiting for his Inaugural
ton. 1t is not possible that South Carolina
will remain more than four weeks longer in
the Union. She has her carpet-bag packed
ready for a start and yet her politicians are
carrying on contest among themselves for
the Senatorship, with as much earnestness
as if she was what Susan Nipper would call
"a permanency' in the Union, instead of "a
temporary"
1t is not possible that the new Senator
will ever take his seat, if elected, because
long before the 4th of March South Carolina
will be over the hills and far away; yet when
the State should present stern, united I'M
wavering front, to terrify the North, it fall
ters and breaks up into intestine conflicts
over an Office which is already virtually
abolished. The moral effect is isdeplorable. 1t
gives an air of insincerity to the secession
declarations of the South; and it weakens
the hands of the anxious friends of the Union
in the North. How can we save the Union
if the South is going to submit to the election
of Republican President? How can we
save it unless we can show that the South is
going to break it? Only 'out of the nettle
danger can we pluck the flower safety" If
there is no danger, our occupation is gone,
and how can we convince our people that
the Union is going to be dissolved in six
weeks, when leading secessionists are strug-
Cling with themselves for an office under the
Union, which does not begin until after that
timer
If Lincoln is elected, the South will have
only itself to blame. 1t need not shake its
CORY locks at us, and say we did it.

Weare requested by the Mayor to state
that, in consequence of the inability of the
contractors to make the necessary prepara-
tions, the plan recently adopted for the re-
moval Of the garbage has not gone into
operation. Also, that the lst of November
has been fixed upon by the authorities and
the contractors for commencing under the
contracts, at which time exertions will be
made by all parties to carry the arrangement
into full effect.
A friend of ours, who addresses us COM
munication upon the subject, will probably
be satisfied with the foregoing information.

DetentIre Acutenenr.

Dickens has immortalized the sharpness Of
the London detectives. Perhaps some are
so unsophisticated as not to know the exact
qualifications and duties of detective. They
are men selected from the police force, for
their experience, shrewdness close observa-
ton Of character, and knowledge of men;
and they are set to work out mysterious
cases and crimes which furnish no clue to
the common observer. A detective knows
mans character as soon as he sets eyes on
him. We have some in Cincinnati whose
exploits if made public, would make those
related by Dickens seem plodding and stu
pid. But the modesty of these wonderful
men will not often permit them to tell their
feats besides it would spoil their trade.
Night before last, night clerk in the
Postofice, who has acted in that capacity for
the last eight years, and regularly taken his
way down Sixth-street about three o'clock
in the morning to his residence, was on his
usual way home, when, near Central-avenue,
he observed two spicious-looking persons,
one of whom proved to be city detective,
who insisted on putting him through a cate
chism on suspicion of being burglar gen.
orally, and particularly of resembling some
body who had just committed a robbery.
The Postof1ice man told his business and
residence, but the detective was altogether
too sharp to swallow that story. He reck-
oned they did mt work at such hours in the
Postofiice. brilliant detective, thatD He
refused to accompany the clerk either to his
residence or to the Postoffice, for the pur-
pose of verifying his account of himself
He was altogether too acute for that. If
an acquaintance of both the clerk and de-
tective had not just then happened to come
out of an eating-house close by, he would
inevitably have had a night in the watch
house for the shrewdness of this detective.
Next we shall have the detectives arresting
Nicholas Longworth, and the hotel proprie-
tors, and old members of the press, on sus-
picion Of being escaped burglars. A leather
lorgnette had better be furnished that de-
tective, and he should be taken around and
introduced to some of the most prominent
objects, such as the Courthouse, POstofice
and Water-works, or he will be making
descent on them yet, on suspicion of impro-
priety.

Two FRIENDLY WILD BEASTS QUARREL
a Tiger Slain By a Lion.-A rather singu-
lar episode took place during the storm in
the menagerie of N. Hebert, the naturalist
on the north jetty, at Havre. A fine royal
tiger which had been for some days in one
of the cages, had conceived a strong affec.
tion for magnificent lion, aud the two ami
mails lived together on the most friendly
terms. On the night in question, whether
the animals became alarmed by the violence
Of the wind or whether some cause of quar-.
rel had arisen between them, is not known
but fight took place, as when NJ. Hebert
entered the place in the morning, he found
the tiger strangled, and the lion walking
round the dead body with all the triumph
of a conqueror.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK IN MARYLAND.-The
thousands who have visited the fairs of the
Maryland Institute for years past, have been
attracted by the wonderful clock on exhibit
ton, but, as wonderful as it then was, it will
be far more so when completed. II will
combine, in addition, an attack upon the
coachman by a highwayman, who springs
from the roadside. The eoachman applies
his whip without effect, and the robber is
only compelled to desist upon the i1terposi-
tion Of q farmer and hunter, the latter fir
ing gun at him. In consequence of this
comieal Improvement, il win not be ex-
hibited at the present fair.

EXTRAORDINARY FATALITY.-A few years
ago, says Wheeling (Va.) paper, an en-
gineer was killed on the Central Ohio Rail-
road, near Cambridge. At the time of his
death, he was making his last trip, previous
10 the fulfllment of an engagement of mar
riage with young lady of Columbus. The
young lady afterward became the wife of
James Tease, and a short time ago, while ont
riding, she was thrown from a carriage and
killed. Tease himself was one of the vic
TINS of the accident which occurred the
other day near Cambridge.

FRENCH THIEVES RoBBING BY TELEGRAPH,
French thieves now rob by telegraph. Two
first victim was NJ. R., physician, who
received a telegram, by which one Of his
friends, residing in a neighboring town, de-
sired him to advance the sum of 800 francs,
to discharge draft for that sum, payable at
Lyons, and drawn on frm named in the
dispatch. Without the slightest suspicion
N. R. met the draft for his friend. It
turned out to be a forgery, as his friend had
not dispatched any telegram of the kind.
Shortly atterward similar trick was played
of under identical circumstances upon a
trader of Lyons.

her worthy the name she bears, and we cheerfully
recommend those desiring reliable insurance and
honorable treatment to a policy In the Phoenix of

South Carolina. AS to whether her ports

Mr.. Pickens adds From the position we
may occupy towards the Northern States, as
well as from our own internal structure of
of society. the Government may, from ne
cessity, become strongly military in its or
ganization." If this means anything, it
means that the State of South Carolina can
no longer keep her slaves in peaceable SUD-
lection, without standing army. It needs
no prophet to foretell that the organization
Of a standing army is but the prelude to the
establishment of a military despotism. Are
