Senator Ross. ..... ....
As this man has had much to do with bring
ing about the sudden collapse Of the impeachment
scheme, it will interest the reader to know some
thing about him. We find the following in an ex-
change:
E. G. Ross was born in Wisconsin. He received
q good education, and was an editor in his native
State. On the breaking out of the Kansas trou-
bles he removed to that State and took an active
part in its affairs. He was member Of the Kan
SOS Constitutional Convention of 1858, and from
that year till 1861 he was member of the State
Legislature During the war he served in Kan
sas Regiment, and attained the rank of Major. In
July, 1866, he was appointed q United States Sen
ator for Kansas, in place of james b. Lane, de-
~ man, has represented the Radical wing of the
party in Kansas, and has heretofore stood very
high in its estimation. He is understood to be q
truthful straightforward, honest man.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.
- This notorious individual, who will be re-
membered as the authoress of "Unclc Toms Cab
in, is now the President of the american Wo-
mans Educational Association" society incor-
porated in New York. We observe by an article
in the New York Tribune, that the President, is
about taking steps for the establishment of school
for girls, at Aiken, in this State. AS the purpo-
ses of the school are something out of the usual
order of things in this section, we clip paragraph
from the TriJan,e's article:
''Its officers propose to establish literary institu
tions, like our colleges, with which shall be con-
nected professional schools to train women for the
practical duties of life, just as men are trained as
engineers, chemists, physicians lawyers and book
keepers. 1t is intended that each of these institu
tions shall embrace preparatory, collegiate and
professional department. In the last the student
will receive instruction in the art of teaching, in
nursing infants and invalids and in all the other
duties of thoroughly, competent housewife: Sey-
eral wears ago school of this character was estab
lished in the West. 1t has proved complete sue
cess. The association now proposes to establish
another in the South Mrs. Beecher and the Ex-
ecutive Committee, after having visited seven OF
the seaboard Southern States, have fixed upon
Aiken, South Carolina, as the best location tor the
school, and, if favorable terms are offered by the
citizens, it will there be established.
The Charleston City Council.
On Wednesday, of last week, Gen. Candy
astonished the people of Charleston by issuing an
order removing thirteen of the Aldermen of that
City, and appointing similar number of carpet
baggers' and negroes to supply the vacancies so
summarily made. Gen. Candy assigns no sufi-
cient reason for this course, and before taking ac
ton, did not even consult the wishes of the Mayor
his own appointee-with reference to the matter.
Of those appointed, seven of the number are ne
groes. Among the tso-called" white men appoint
3D. we notice the name of H. Judge Moore, Esq.
AS this individual was at one time resident of
this place, and is rather notorious throughout the
State, we clip the following sketch OF him from the
Nears:
III. JUDGE MooRE-Of this Alderman elect,
we may remark that we have known him from In
fancy, when he wore very small clothes, indeed be-
fore he donned the toga ra1ls, but do not choose
to tell all we know. subsequently ne was Drlght
and shining light in Temperance society, whereof
we, too, were an illustrious member. Alas, the
twain long since have fallen from grace. Hilary
Judge has been contributor to newspapers, and
in his career has filled various positions, from that
Of office boy to the editor-of negro sheet. The
impressions" he has made on the community are
not good. Before the war he was the editor ofthe
Bennettsville Herald, and as early as 1851 ran q
violent secession paper, which fed on blood and
thunder. He was likewise member of the Pal
metto regiment, and served through, the Mexican
war, whence it is supposed he brought the terrible
symptoms of the black vonlito, which have since
been bis affiicton;, He is native Carolnan, a,
amount of shrewd, good sense, which has enabled
him, since the occupation of Charleston, to keep
his bread buttered on both sides.
