THE, SITUATION The. Richmond
Wing sums up the difficulties of the
present political position OF !, the
Southern States, and gives us the
following admirable paragraph:
s'After all the talk of mal-content
newspapers and their Disciples Lall
their mock heroic, spread eagle, fus-
tian rigmarole and rant--certain all
important facts press themselves
irresistibly into the common sense
and convictions of the people LIST.
That the speediest possible recovery
of the right to govern themselves is
of the highest moment to the States
now deprived of that right I'd.
That this right can only be recovered
through the restoration of those
States to the Union. Sd. That at
present, and for an indefinite time in
the future, restoration can bc effected
only through the consent and assist
ance of the Republican, party. 4th.
That it is wise, polite and proper,
under such circumstances, to endea-
vor to overcome all distrust and
remove all prejudice on tho part of
those to whom we have to look for
this boon, and to secure their favor
and good will. Upon these facts,
which we do not hesitate to affirm to
be incontrovertible we are willing to
rest all issues between ourselves and
our contemporaries, and to await
the decision of the people of Virginia
rs to the action they will take in the
coming elections

SPURIOUS NICKEL PIECES. 1t would
seem to be one of the evils resulting
from the issue of base coin, that it
makes counterfeiting comparatively
easy. This is the case with regard to
the present five-cent nickel piece, of
which large number are in circula-
ton, especially in the South and
West.
A gang of coiners were trapped, the
other day, in Cincinnati, with guam
tity OF these spurious pieces in their
possession, rs well as the dies and
apparatus for their manufacture. But
there are evidently many moro at
work successfully i'll other parts of the
country, as the papers contain hume
rous complaints OF such swindling.
HE horse-car companies of New Or
leans have suffered loss to the extent
of many hundred dollars by counter
feits of this denomination.

UNIVERSITY OF SoUTH CARoLINA.-
We call attention to the advertise
ment of this frst-class institution of
learning, which appears in our CO.
lumns this morning. The conditions
upon which applicants Will be ad-
mitted, and the necessary qualifca-
tions, are explained and defined in
this notice, while it is stated that the
final examinations, before graduation,
will be searching and rigid.
The able corps OF professors i'll oil
the departments, whose names nre
given, may be considered guarantee
for thorough course of instruction.
Many of these gentlemen have been
long connected with the South Caro-
lima College, while those recently
elected are all we'll qualified for the
positions they occupy. In the mcdi-
cal department, it will be seen that
students will have the advantage of
nine months uninterrupted study.
On the whole, we can recommend the
University MS an institution of learn.
ing equal to any in the Southern
States.
DULL TIMEs.--The annexed article
is from the Houston Telegraph. 1t
is 50 appropriate that we appropriate
it, though times are not quite so dull
here as there:
Eve hear great deal of croaking
and evil foreboding these dull times.
Some say the country is ruined;
others that the city is going down;
and others that we shall never see
prosperity again. Business is dull,
money scarce, and prospects gloomy
all over the country, we admit; but
men do not make things better by
their everlasting complaining. In
deed, they do harm, and make mat
tcrs worse. When the country is in
trouble, she needs and should have
the united and cheerful energies and
labors of all her SONS, not their i'm
potent and nnmanly repinings. Some
talk of going out of business, some
of rem owing to another place. and
some of one thing and some of an
other. If more men would engage
i'll tilling the fertile soil, in raising
corn, cotton, wheat, meat, potatoes,
wool, and everything that feeds and
clothes people, and supplies the
staples of the commerce of the coun-
try, we think much good would re-
suit from it. Business is immensely.
overdone. Entirely too many men
are engaged in it, and too few in agri-
cultural pursuits.
But of one thing everybody may
rest assured: This place will continue
to prosper and grow, and become a
great city, despite all such times rs
these. Those who now lose that
faith will make great mistake, and
will rue it whcn, perhaps, it will be
too late. Business is stagnant all
over the United States, as well as in
this direction. And this is not the !
first time any of lis have passed
through dull times. We have seen
many such seasons before, and in all
such seasons we have heard the some
complainiDgs and prophesying of
evil we now hear. 1t is time to quit
it, and to set about, by hard work
and economy, to remedy our present I
evils as much as possible. Very few
can make any money now The ma
jority should be well satisfied if they
can make living, and pay their way /
as they go. We can do oil this, and

The NORTH CAROLINA CASE.-It
has been mentioned by telegraph
that there was case of conflict of
authority between the United States
Marshal and the Military Command
ant of the Post, at Wilmington, N. G.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore San, in that paper of
Monday, says:
A case of conflict of authority be-
tween the Federal civil courts and
the military, has arisen in the second
Military District. Order No. 10, is
sued some weeks ago by General
Sickles, commonly known as the stay
order, providing for stay of execu-
ton of Judgments and debts. has
come in conflict with the execution
of n judgment rendered by Chief
Justice Chase, whilst presiding in
the United States Circuit Court in
North Carolina. 1t appears that an
execution was issued upon this judg-
ment, directing the United States
Marshal to levy upon property OF
ouo uCiSHuduI Ill wilmington, IN. ".
Tho marshal proceeded to that city
and was about to make levy, when
he was confronted by tho Military
Commander there stationed, who ex-
hibited Order No. 10, which he
claimed was bar to further pro-
ceedings by the marshal. The latter
withdrew and reported the facts to
the Attorney General for instruc-
tions. The matt was submitted to
the Cabinet byt' assistant Attorney
General, Mr.. Bincklcy. The latter
was yesterday instructed by the Pre-
sident to communicate the. facts to
General Sickles, and inquire whether
his order staying collection was in
tended to include judgments rendered
by the Federal courts.

80 GENERAL GRANT. New York
Union Republican party, few days
ago, nominated General Grant for
the Presidency. One of the leading
journals of that party-the Tribune
it would appear, does not endorse the
nomination. 1t says, in reply to an
article in Chicago paper:
eve ARE not in the Presidency
business just yet. We leave that to
Mr.. Bennett, who wants Grant and
Lee, and the. Soup Committee up
town, who think they would like to
run Grant as o sort of hunger-ap-
peasing, platter-flling candidate.
There are more important matters on
hand than Presidential intrigues-the
finances, the tariff, reconstruction.
When the time does come, we shall
try and find suitable statesman, rs,
on the whole, there are reasons why
q statesman should be President for
at least four years"
1t is to be hoped the Tribune will
be successful in its contemplated
search for statesman.

Russia .. Ii. Easter. Question.

The Politit bohemian Gazette) contains an
Official letter on the Eastern question, adj
dressed by the government Of St Petersburg
to the Servian Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
The following IL the text:-"Russia IL not at all
disposed to adjourn the solution Of the Eastern
question. She does not wish to hear anything
more said about Cancellation between the Turks
and Christians. Let the Christians obtain their
freedom by force Of arms, II they can. Rus.
STA will only watch that foreign Powers do
not interfere in this war between the Porte
and Its subjects; for II they did interfere Russia
would be forced to take up actively the de-
fence Of the Christians. Russia desires that
Turkey-in-E Europe be replaced by three federal
States, namely, Servia, Roumania and Greece,
with a central government at Constantinople.r
This Russian programme has the great virtue
Of being Ineligible.

The Fenians had wonderful mass meeting

numbers present In the pervading spirit Of tho
assemblage, in the drift Of the speeches and
in the points Of applause there was much 10

historian. There is good in this thing or there

speakers on this occasion warmly advocated
active Intervention by the United States, or
passive assistance, after the fashion Of British
ideas Of belligerent rights in the matter Of our
late rebellion. But even upon this ground,
from all the information that has reached us,
we could not help the Fenians. Their risings
in Ireland have not yet assumed the character
Of an organized rebellion, although many Feni-
ans here believe that there is general revolt
and that the facts do not reach us through the
cable. II is even rumored that Sir Frederick
Bruce, from Washington, has advised his gov
eminent to send no news by the cable Of the
Fenians or the operations against them in Ire
land, for fear that II may result in another raid
upon Canada. AT all events the Fenian ex-
element of last summer Is revived here, and IL
appears to be assuming deeper and more de-
liberate purpose. OF course the FIRST necessity
and the first demand is money, and money,
more cautiously, however, than II was poured
in upon Fenian treasurers last summer is
coming in again. But what will become Of this
