South Carolina,

The victory in South Carolina of
the Union men, in the adoption
of their Constitution and election
of State officers, is an event of no
small moment. First to secede, she
is the first, with hearty unanimity,
to take the steps necessary for re-
turn to the Union. According to
a dispatch received yesterday by
General Grant from General Candy,
the total vote thus far reported is
S5,S43, and the majority for the
Constitution 43,161. The canvass
in that State was almost wholly con-
duct without aid from other States.
Nothing but indomitable energy
on the part of the local leaders
could have achieved so great sue
cess. The State officers elected are
all white men but one. f. L. Cor
doza, who is light colored mar, of
finished education and great ability,
was elected Secretary of State. He
was educated at Edinburg, Scotland.
Gen. R.R. Scott, Governor, was
born in Ohio. He is the present
head of the Freedmen's Bureau in
South Carolina. The Assistant is
Franklin j. Moses, Jr., a native of
south Carolina. Since the wsr he
las boldly advocated reconstruc-
ion. The two United States Sena-
ors who will probably be elected
IN the 10th of May next, are DR..
/. j. Mackay of Charleston, and T.
!. Robertson of Columbia. Thus

Notification, the first to rush from
he Union, and the first to fire on
he flag, is the first to return, not
,nly without slave in her borders,
,ut under a State Government
pledged to universal suffrage and
education. Hail, South
Jarolina. - Cleveland Herald.

The unfortunate holders of the
Confederate Cotton Bonds in Eng
land are stubbornly opposed to
abandoning hope, With a most
remarkable degree of faith, they
still imagine that some day the ten
million dollars they loaned will be
returned. A certain VIM. Morgan,
writing from Lombard street, Lon
do2, endeavors to convince the N.
Y. Times that, as the money was
advanced b. the Southern States to
be repaid in cotton "six months af,
ter a ratification Of ps2ce between
the present belligerents," IT must
be now due. These deluded rebel
bond holders cannot see that there
never has been ratification of
peace" and never will be. The de-
lusion that the South will some
time pay these bonds will probably
outlast this century, judging from
the persisteney with which the un.
fortunate gentlemen Of Lombard
street obtrude their sorrows on the

The Good Tlme Coming.

The glorious result Of the recent
elections in the late rebellious
States, which have taken place
within the past few days, indicate
the near approach ofpeace and good
will between the States, and a con.
solidated union.
Our neighbor of the Register has
howled himself almost out of exist,
ence about negro equality, Republi,
can oppression, and has used all his
feeble powers to convince his read.
ers that not a single State would
go for the Republican ticket, if ev.
cry body would subscribe for the
Register. The result of the election,
as given in the following article
from the Cincinnati Gazette ofTues.
day, will undoubtedly be accounted
for by the modest editor from the
fact that the people down in those
States do not read the Register
But here is the glorious news:
Arkansas, Louisiana and South
Carolina have adopted their new
Constitutions, elected Republican
Legislatures and u majority of Re
publican Congressman. This much
is certain, South Carolina has gone
more decidedly Republican than
any other of the Southern States,
the majority being over forty-three
Thus, the leading State
T-the State in which treason was
hatched, and in which the rebellion
commenced, becomes the foremost
Republican State of that section.
The indications are that Georgia
and North Carolina have been car,
ried by the Republicans but upon
this point we are not yet able to
speak positively,
These elections foreshadow an
early settlement of the reconstruc-
ton question, provided Andrew
Johnson is removed. Ifthe Senate
should fail in its duty, and acquit
the President, he will find a way to
overthrow the Republican majori-
ties at the South. He will be en-
)oldened to oppose the action of
congress, and defeat the decision
If the loyal people of the Southern
'tates, as he hasn't had the courage
heretofore to do. Pending the ac-
ion Of the Senate, therefore, it is
lot safe to grow enthusiastic over
he result of the Southern elections.
But with Johnson out of the
way, and these elections on the
light side, as they are, people can
ook forward with confidence to an
'arly return of the late rebel States
o their places in the Union, with
'ull representation in Congress, and
egal local governments.
The effect of such q consumma-
ion upon the business interests of
he country can not be over estima.
ed On the other hand, the ac-
Initial Of johnson and the conse.
uent defeat of reconstruction,
rOald insure an unsettled condition
I affairs at the South, and the con-
nued decentralization Of business
n an indefinite period.

New improvements in Surgery.

A few years ago many limbs were
omputated for the purpose Of say.

joints. The skillful surgeon now

means for exploring all cavities
which the eye cannot reach, where
instruments can be applied, is of
decided advantage in obtaining a
diagnosis in cases were the unaided

thalmoscope, for examining the
eye, Otoscope for the ear, Rhynos-
scop and Yaryngoscop for the nose
and throat, we have still further
means afforded US in the recently
improved powerful Microscope.
During the last few years, chairs
of microscopic science have been
established in our best regulated

modern science, though one of the
most difficult branches to master.
Electricity receives new impulse,
from an electrical apparatus now
being found in every Surgeons of

The Democratic members OF
the Ohio Legislature hang on to
their 50 90 a day with the tcnacity
Of drowning men. They never ex-
poet to get another tug at the pub
lie teat. 1t is now the last day Of
April, aud no day is yet fixed for
adjournment. The way these Dem-
oerats retrench the expenses OF the
State government is astonishing to
the natives.

FREE WHIsKY.-Mr. Emmitt, a
wealthy Democratic Senator in the
Legislature of this State, has intro
duced a bill in the Senate, to repeal
all laws in this State, having for
theil object the suppression Of evil
resulting to communities by the sale
ofintcxicating liquors, except those
laws making it unlawful to sell to
minors and intoxicated persons.
Mr.. Emmitt has the largest whis'
ky mill in Ohio, and has made
large fortune by making whisky,
and thus doing what he could to fill
the country with drunkards, drunk
ards widows and orphans,
and spreading Generalization wher
ever his manufactures could find
unfortunate consumers. 1t Is not
to be wondered at that man who |
Is so morally debased and destitute
Ofcommon humanity, rs to be will
ling for the sake Of acquiring and
adding money to fortune already
gained by means OF the still worm,
should want all laws repealed that
might have tendency to check the
flow and use Of an article that has
destroyed more lives, debased more
men and ruined more families in
our land and nation, than war, pes
thence and famine. This is the
kind Of protection a Democratic
Senator in Ohio proposes to give.
This is the kind of protection and
aid to moral reform, sObriety and
temperance that might be expected
from Senator who has amassed
his millions from the manufacture
Of that which spreads ruin and mis-
cry broadcast through the land.

"This animal measures exactly

- Frederick Law Olmsted writes
to the Nation an account of an in
terview he and Mr., Fred. Knapp
had with Gen. Grant, on board a
steamboat near Vicksburg in 1868.
A pitcher of water and some glass
es were on the table. In a long
conversation General Grant unfold
ed his plans for the campaign, with
remarkable clearness and fullness,
when he was interrupted by the ap.
pearance of lady. Rising with
some confusion and annoyance at
the unannounced interruption,
General Grant stood leaning on a
chair and listened to her com
plants, which he promised to di-
rect his medical inspector to look
to next day. The lady retired with
the impression, which no after ex-
planation could remove, that Gen.
Grant was interrupted in a carouse
with boon companions, that he was
80 drunk that he had to steady him
self by a chair, and that being too
drunk to see her next day he sent
a medical director. The slander
spread with all the nimbleness a
woman's tongue could give it, and
grew as it travelled, Other in
stancs of Grants drunkenness"
have been proved equally baseless,
but copperheads, for political pur-
pose, and glib tongued women
whose heads have been turned by
popular favor, for the sake of ex.
citement, and keep alive and spread

CESS returned with their team, and said
that he was to meet them in a few days at
a designated point in the woods. He and
the team then disappeared. Foul play was
at once suspected. We now learn from the

brother Of the missing men, who has been
searching for them, obtained the assistance
of Frame French, and proceeding 70 the
point at which Burgess was 10, meet them,
