LEAP YEAR.-Thcre are thousands Of
bashful bachelors, old and young, who
hook hopefully to leap year, and are
waiting to be asked. They are anxious
to have some fair one u, do what they
will never have the courage to do them
selves-pop the question. They want to
get married, but lack the courage to say
so. Nothing but leap year can save them
from the most gloomy and horrible fate.
The ladies must take pity on these forlorn,
buttoaless wretches, and not forget that
if they go unmarried another three years,
II will be theirs to answer for, Common
coquetries and setting of caps won't do;
1t is right up and doing business, and
the old blades not only expect to be
asked, but they are waiting for it with
the greatest anxiety and impatience. If
shere are ary bachelors left in this com.

GRAHT ELECTED.

We have no doubt that the result Of The election
on Tuesday will place General GIANT in the Presi-
DENTAL chair for termsof four Years from next
March,. Further, this result will fastep upon the
country another four years of Radical misrule, e1
bitant.taxation, and ex,ravagant expenditure in
the administration Of government. This is the
nationalaspeetofaff affairs. But the excited contest

rsaioyed from the public gaze, and with the pre-
sent organized governments in the reconstructed
States the people to go forward in the discharge
of their duties as citizens The whole aim and OBJ
ject.of the RSdical policy for the past two years
has been to strengthen that party in the Prcsiden-
tiaf election. We have snid. this from, the begin
ming of tile agitation Of Reconstruction. That OBJ
jeet being settled the primary cause of dissension
and division among the Southern people, white
and colored, is now far removed. Only local and
domestic influences will control the future policy
Of South Caroline. Although, we have an odious
government, sctuated by prejudice and oppression.
foisted upon US, redemption must be had through
peaceful agencies, patient forbearaDee md firm ad-
herence TO pr1ncipte VIII copquers Hhoily,
and with brave hearts and strong minds We must
address future efforts to The redemption. of our be-
loved State from misrule atihome. We believe
thiswiu be done, and far more speedily than many
persons imagine. Practically. however, the pre-
sent is gloomy enough, with enormous taxation
and the reckless extrayagance of the present State
government starring us in the face. But We advise
alltobs of good cheer, and look upon the bright
side Of the future. Nothing is gained by despoD-
