Wade, so the dispatches say, will be ahead
on the first ballot for the vice presidential
nomination, but it is not stated that his sue
cess is assured Colfax and Fenton seem to
be the strongest candidates against him.
Colfax will divide the Western strength, and
Fenton viii be the favorite of Southern carpet
baggery. If Wade should be nominated the
Republican party will share the infamy of his
conduct in the Senate. The radicals may
profess TO approve of his vote to make him
self president /; but they must despise him in
their hearts. At all events, if they are not
given over to incurable faulty, or struck with
what Mr.. Cass called Judicial blindness, they
will not incur the odium with which his name
would cover their ticket Grant is bad
enough, but Wade is worse.

der this account of his stewardship through the
public press ITO the People Of South Carolina.
The rivalry for the United States senatorship
appears to be confined chiefly to Dr. A. G. Mackey
and Mr. F. A. Sawyer Parson French is also in
the ring, but his chances, from all we learn, are
few and far between. 81.
The irrepressible C. P. Leslie, senator from
Bamwe, is in the city working like beaver, it is
believed in the interest of Dr.. Mackey. Fond Of
collecting personal statistics and using them in de.
bate, never mincing words when he has any truth
to be told, he is as warm partisan as he is bit
ter opponent. So that we may expect lively dis
cussions in the Legislature when the canvass COM
mences on its floor.
The United States marshalship is promised to a
white man. What will become of Mr.. Epping,
the incumbent, we have not heard, but he will
probably have something to say in the matter.
1t is declared upon good authority that Timothy
Hurley has been assigned the position of editor in
chief of new Republican paper which is to be. es-
tablshed in Columbia. The Office will be suppor-
ted by Government advertising and the printing Of
the Legislature 1t will be stockholders en-
terprise," and the prominent members Of the par.
ty are represented to be earnest in the promotion
of the enterprise to the extent of liberal contr-
button each-Charleston Ne,rs.

STATE NEWS.

A gossipy correspondent of the Mercury writing
from Columbia on the 4th inst, gives some inter-
estng facts about the new order Of things about to
be inaugurated there: We extract a few para
graphs:
The Inauguration of the Governor is expected
on Monday. 4 number Of citizens it is under
stood, will publish manifesto, calling upon the
people of the State to stand by the new State gov
ernment Among these have heard the names
of Messrs. Jack Caldwell, j. P. Thomas, Daniel
Miller, Of Columbia, and Mr.. F. w. Dawson, OF
your city.
+. j. Noses Jr, will not find it as easy to get
the speakership as he did his elevation to the Of
fee Of chief organizer Of the negro militia. There
are two other Richmonds in the field: lst, r. B.
Elliott, black negro, from Massachusetts, but
now a man and brother from Edge6eld. Whip
per was spoken of few days ago, but it is said he
has withdrawn in favor of his felownegro, the no.
torious Elliott I'd, Jencks the rice planter kins-
man Of Pillsbury, the eloquent ex.quartermaster,
has loomed up as formidable rival, and Moses
may not get to the promised land after all-al-
though he has for some time had exclusive pos
session of the Office - on the slate.
Generals Scott and Candy and staff are expected
here on Monday. Governor Orr is here waiting
to be delivered of his message. This message, by
the bye learn, is one of the longest ever sent to
South Carolina Legslature-not less than eleven
columns of minion in the Mercury. Gov. On,
suppose, bears in mind the fact that the new gov
ernment being raw at the business needs copious

LIVE NEWSPAPER.

There is a great deal of misapprehension about
the metaphysics of the public press;' none al
all about the merits of a'good newspaper. Tai
writing concerning its liberty" has become habit
with many of us, and others of US do not stop tc
think just what it means. A newspaper is a We.
hicle, like an omnibus, or street car, or railroad.
1t is intended for the convenience of people. They
vided it be commodious and goes the way they
want to go, they care little who edits it. Hence,
the advantage of the anonymous; for all of US are
desperately selfish at bottom. The journal is most
successful which best serves the interests Of the
largest class of the community without regard to
individual likes or dislikes.
The day when newspaper was an embodiment
of the peculiar views Of its editor, has passed
away. One man can no longer edit daily journal.
The entire business has been multiplied by ten,-
editors, printers reporters, expenses The best
newspaper is that which gives the freshest newsand
more of it at the lowest market price. The rule
that governs bacon governs the press. There is
no spread-eageism about it. There is no mystery.
1t is an open-and-shut affair like Barlow knife.
The best paper gets the most readers; and of con-
sequence advertising flows in upon it, and so it
prospers.
Nor is this question of advertising question Of
favor. 1t is like all the rest, question of selfish
interest. Drumming" as it is called, is merely
aims seeking; and newspaper which has to
'drum'' for its livelihood had better 'shut up
shop" 1t is precarious vocation Wearies the
public Wears out its patrons. Does no perma-
nent good. Let press prove itself ivest, fresh:
est, cheapest, and it is sure to have readers; and
whenever the keen, unerring business discernment
catches Whit of this pleasant breeze it pours in
its advertising patronage. The day for fighting
duels is over. The editor is no longer an excep-
ton, but a matter of fact He is as other men,
only he has to get up earlier go to bed later, and
work about twice as hard
Journalism, as We observed the other day in the
course of some observations on the business of the
modern reporter, has undergone complete revo-
luton within the last ten or dozen years. So
much so, indeed that if an equal ratio of improve
meuts be kept up, there is little reason to doubt
that the daily press will ultimately crowd what is
called ephemeral literature from the market. 1t
will itself thenceforward supply mental diet to the
public which will have no leisure for books after
it has read the morning paper.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

As the period approaches for the Legislature to
assemble, there is a good deal Of stir among the
Republicans with reference to the Offices to be filled
during the session. Candidates are as thick as
blackberries, and whatever promises most largely
of profit will be the subject of extensive purchase
and SALE
We understand that the contest for the Speak
ership of the House will be animated, if not bitter.
The prominent white candidate therefor is Mr.. +.
j. Moses, Jr., but it is said that the coored men,
bers propose to run one Of their own race-prob-
statement has been openly made by some of then,
that this thing of giving all the fat offices to the
white men was about played out. and as they had
majority of the votes in the Legislature they in,
tended that their color should have a fair showing
especially in the race for Speakership. We heal
that Mr.. Moses was emphatically told that he
might haul down his colors for the determination
was to make black man the presiding officer Of
the body. The disafection has assumed such q
threatening shape as to give agood deal of concern
to the leaders; because, if the issue is broadly
drawn, the result will come before they are pre-
pared for it, and may prove dsadvantageous tc
themselves and the party. With a very few ex
ceptions among white men who would affiliate with
the other side, break of this character would di
vide the household, and array white against black

Endeavors are being made to conceal the disturb
ance, and to have it settled in caucus but the col
ored members are bold in the assertion of theil
rights" and are likely to make fierce stand up
on them.
Reference has been made to the message of Gov
ernor Orr. 1t is not known definitely whether il
will be delivered 'as information to the Legsla
ture, or addressed to General Candy as the military
custodian of the State Even if Governor Orr hac
not been removed by the military authorities ',tt
simplify matters" there was u disposition on the
part of the General Assembly to ignore him alto
gether, lest his recognition us an outgoing Execu
tive would have seemed recognition OF the ''rebe
rule" of President johnson. AS the matter now
stands. the vast amount of valuable statistical in
formation concerning the condition of the State
which the Governor has prepared as an official doc
ument, must emanate, if at all, from private in
dividual, and be addressed like any other intorma
ton to the Legislature, or to General Candy, as be
may determine There is too much OF public In
terest in the document for it to be hidden under
bushel, and the community will be anxious to know

course to be pursued, is for Governor Orr to rem

A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.

For several weeks past the fashionable circles al
Washington have been much interested, in antici
patton of the marriage of Senator Henderson, oi
Missouri, to Miss Mary Foote, daughter Of Hon
Elisha Foote, of New York, and head Of the Ap'
peal Board of the Patent Office. Miss Foote, fol
several winters past, has been one Of the bellies o
Washington, and the announcement Of her en-
gagement with the Senator from Missouri, created
quite sensation among the elite of Washington.
A few days since over SIX hundred cards were is.
sued to the friends of the couple for the marriage
ceremony, which took place to day, at twelve @.
clock, at the National Hotel, and was one of the
most brilliant affairs ever witnessed at the national
capital The magnificent parlors of the hotel were
tastefully and profusely decorated with rare and
fragrant flowers, whose rich perfume filled the at
mosphere The heavy lace curtains at the win.
dows and over the archway connecting the two
parors were covered with ivy and evergreens, while
rich bouquets distributed about the room-promi:
nent among which was magnifcentone presented
by the ladies of the Executive Mansion-fairly
transformed the drawing rooms to fowery gardens
of exquisite beauty.
Immediately opposite to the archway, and at the
far end of the parlors, canopy of white lace, en-.
wreathed with white lilies, was erected over large
mirror, beneath which the marriage ceremony took
place in the presence of most distinguished and
fashionable assemblage The President Of the
United States and General Grant, Chief Justice
Chase, eminent statesmen, celebrated diplomatic
Cabinet Ministers, distinguished rmyand navy Of
6cers, and prominent officials, with hundreds OF
beautiful and accomplished ladies, whose rich and
costly toilets wonderfully added to the effectiveness
of the scene, were present The Chinese Embassy
also attended.
The guests began to arrive slowly shortly after
eleven clock, and by noon the parlors we're crowd
ed The Senate took recess to attend :.
At twelve the bridal party entered and marched
through the parlors beneath the canopy above de.
scribed, where the ceremony took place, Rev. DR..
Pinckney, of the Church of the Ascension (Epis.
copal,) officiating; Senator James A. Fowler, Of
Tennessee, and Mr.. +. Arnold, of New York, act
ing as groomsmen Miss Catharine Beach, of Sa-
ratoga Springs, New York, and Miss Augusta
Foote, sister of the bride, as bridesmaids.
The bride was dressed in q very heavy white
silk, with gored skirt full Empress train, and low
corsage, with lace trimming. Over this was dress
of pure white Illusion hanging in graceful folds and
forming pleasant contrast to the rich silk under
dress. 1t was finished with two narrow Aounces
around the bottom of the skirt. A handsome sash,
with bows of white silk, encircled the waist. Her
rich curls were surlnounted with handsome
wreath of orange blossoms, from which was sus,
pended an elegant tulle veil, which fell behind to
the hem of the DRESS
After an elaborate reception the bridal party left
this evening for the North Cincinnati CONNER

Among the many rumors in circulation here to-
day, was one stating that the RAIDS intend to keep
the Democratic members of the House out in the
cold In Louisiana they tried this same trick a
few days ago, by requiring the members of the
Legislature to take the test oath: The General
Commanding, however, overuled this, and the
Democrats were sworn in l do not see what the
RAIDS expect to gain by such course. Surely one
hundred and Eve Radicals are not afraid of fifteen
Democrats. Moreover, should these fanatics at
tempt such prescription, we do not believe Gen
Candy would permit it y
Major D. T. Corbiu, United States District At
torney, is spoken of as candidate for Judge Of the
Supreme Bench. His friends are active, and both
he and they feel confident of success This is as it
Executive, it is but right and proper
that the judiciary also should partake Of the same
character.
