The 0Ovefaoes -
Il is not certain, yet who will be Gov
elnor. The Rep. nomination does not
come OF ill next summer, and We have
long time to "argy tho pint" We notice
that our southern Rep. cotcmporaries are
mentioning almost every justice Of the
pcace down that way for Executive hon
ors. Our article Of last week, favoring tho
nomination Of Col. Merrill, led some to
drink end to lay that it was intended for
irony or burlesque. This is not true. We
disclaimed any partially for Tho COL, but
-stated that he was competent and worthy

long shot: on the contrary, wo should
work for his defeat in every way except in
the path Of dishonor and malignity. Con-
ceding that the Rep. nominee will be elect

ical forces on some one who can carry the
convention. We, up north, are as we'll
entitled to the qualification Of selishncss,

has run this State both at home and

would like to sec him beat if he runs for

circumstances, beneficial to our town, and
hence of interest to us. But of this, no

VISIT TO EDGEFIELD OF RIGHT Rev. DR..
LyNCB. B.-No Roman Catholic clergyman in
the United States ever engrossed, now or in
days gone by, so much Of the kindly feelings
of Protestants-and Of the country generally
as the Right Rev. DR.. Lynch, Bishop Of
Charleston, and of the. Diocese of South
Carolina. He is one Of the most learned
men, as we'll as one of the most polished and
eloquent orators, of the Catholic Church on
this side of the Atlantic. Not meaning to
say that he is not widely known and highly
appreciated in Europe. Bishop Lynch stands
as nigh in Rome as in, Charleston. Almost
every one knows his courageous and patriN
otto record during the late war; it entities
him to the undying honor of the Southern
people. F.. - .. -.
lie is in our midst at present-and aas
been for several days-a guest of DR.. William
Burt. During his sojourn in Edgefeld this
distinguished prelate has delivered, in the
new and beautiful Catholic Church, and to
large and delighted audiences, severa: ser
mons, which have clearly proved his great
intellect his great learning, and his over
flowing spirit of disinterested benevolence.
All should delight to do honor to such O
man as Bishop lynch, however much they
may differ with his religious teachings. -
