COLUMBIA, July 9.-The event OF to-day

ration Of General R. Z. Scott. The hall OF the
Ho6ge was. filed to overfowing, large and

The business of neither body was important.
In the Senate the message Of the new Gov
efnor was read, and notice given by J.J.
Wright (coloredl, OF his intention to intro
duce bill memorializing Congress to remove
the disabilities Of citizens. It is believed that
the measure cannot succeed. A bill was read
the fret time to reorganizethe County Courts
and referredto the proper committee also, a
bill to validate all acts of the provisional gov
ernment not inconsistent with the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
The Senatsis working much more steadily
and systematically than the House, and the
body evince desire to commence making the
changes required by the new Constitution at
once. ~
The Constitutional Amendment was passed
BY vote of one hundred and eight to ten, and
when engrossed, will be taken to Washington
by G. C. Bowen.

Upon neither OF the foregoing theories can
the right of suffrage in the States be regulated
otherwise than BY Congress. Does any renect-
inc man believe for moment that Congress,
in 1871, will remit these States to a territorial
and chaotic condition, and require US to go
through new process OF restoration Inc
Southern people need not delude themselves
with false expectations. When the time ar
riyes, if ths Democratic party are IN power,
and the regulation OF suffrage IN the States is
the recognized principle, depend upon II, the
statu quo then existing will not be disturbed
by Congress.
What then. are we TO rely upon to relieve
the body polite from the serious injury winch
is to result from the continuance OF universal!
suffrage, with so much ignorance prevailing
among the voters? In my JUDGMENT, the RENE
dy is exclusively with ourselves. It will prove
iusorv to rely upon help emanating from any
other source. Intelligence aud Wealth nave
heretofore, in oil sections of the Union, sooner
or later, controlled the votes of the lgnoran'
and the dependant, and in time the same re-
suit will follow here.

inventor, but by Wendell Philips, Theodore
TiltOn and other highly observaut nOminative
cases, against the Radical candidate, Gsner al
Grant, Forbes, Winslow, and other authOr-
tiles have proved to most peoples salts
faction that everybody in the world is
more or less insane, and of course,
therefore, that every body's father ani
mother must also have been more or less in
sane before everybody was born. But nobody,
that we know ef, has yet undertaken to prove
that every body in the world is more or less
addicted to deiirium tremens. When John
Wilkes was accused OF squirting, an ardent
admiTer of his protested that he 'squinted
no more than gentleman and q man OF honor
ought to squint." But even Mr.. Wilkes ar
dent admirer might have recoiled from assert
ing that his idol, being accused of intem perance,
"got drunk no more than a gentleman aud a
man OF honor ought to get drunk" InSdairimuS
o1nnes, sang the old Latin poet; and we dare
say that the 'truly loil'' Union Leaguers of
Philadelphia may have thought that Horatio
Seymour was quite ''mad" when in June,
1863 he hurried on the troops of New York
by the thOus and to drive back the Rebel
invaders from the soil of Pennsylvania,
although its radical rulers had vituperated
and slandered both himself personally and
the great party to which he belongs for month
after month. But, if we are all mad we do
not all Of us 'fall down" whenever we "staud
up before bottle" as Wendell Phillips de-
clares that the General of the Armies inva-
riably does. Nor do we all of us get ourselves
indicted for playing fast and loose with the
Government funds as the publisher OF the Post,
Mr.. Henderson contrived to do. The only
hereditary insanity of which Horatio Ssy-
mour is a victim is what the radicals regard
as hereditary insanity" of belief in the
principles of Jeitersonian Democracy. From
this we really don't believe he can escape,
even by avoiding excitement and hard
labor" On the contrary, he was led by this
hereditary insanity" to undergo, as Cover
nor OF New York, an amount of excitement
and hard labor" in defending the soil of the
North against the Rebel invasions, and the
liberties OF the North against radical usurpa-
tions which can hardly bs paralleled by
the obligations even of the high Office to
which the people propose TO call him in No
vember next. If we were engaged in a battle
of eenealogies it might be easy to show
that if General Grant really be the "root of
Jesse" he is in imminent peril of taking his
own life, in which case it is horribly certain
that Schuyler Colfax would be the heir OF the
radical banner. But this pending Presidential
fight is to be fought out, not between the
fathers of the candidates, but between the can
didates themselves and the principles which
they represent. If the radicals, owning them
selves beaten on the ground OF principle, really
want to make fight on the personal qualities,
habits, tastes and tender ces of the candidates,
we shall be sorry for General Grant, but we
shall not feel at liberty to decline the en-
counter.

An unknown rersoDage, whose acquaintance
We fancy sorupulous people will hardly care
to cultivate, by name ''Il is said, - who seems
to be Just now left in the editorial charge of
two newspapers in this city, "both daily"
has made up what he calls his mind to assail
the Democratic candidate for the Presidency
with the charge which Frstus in the Scriptures
brought against st. Paul. Using the Times in
the morning, and the Post in the evening, this
inventive creature announces that, as Horatio
Seymour is toleraby certain to be elected
President of the United States next November
it ought TO be known that his real reason for
declining the Democratic nomination until it
was forced upon him by the unanimous vote
of the Convention, was the existence in his
family of "an hereditary insanity which
threatens him also, and from which he can
only hope to escape by avoiding excitement
and severe labor"
We are very much mistaken in our estimate
alike of Mr.. Raymond, the responsible editor
of the Times, and of Mr.. Bryant, the response

men can need any comments of ours to make
him sharply realize the dshOnOr put upon

should rise the standard ofthe National Demo-

The Candidate of Anarchy.

FROM he ~. Y. Evening S0St.
The nomination of Mr.. Frank P. Blair for
the Vice-Presidency has surprised both parties.
1t was certainly an act of startling boldness
on the part of the Convention, if not an act of
desperation.
Upon the private character and personal
associations of General Blair, it will not be
necessary for the purposes of this campaign
1t Is to be hoped, to speak plainly aud candidly
FOR the present, at least, it is quite sufficient
to conine public attention to his public record,
and to oppose his election on precisely the
same grounds as il he were respectable gen
tleman, consistent politician, and man OF
good personal habits.
Nor is it necessary to go far back to bis
early years for Mr.. Blar's political record
All the reputation he has ever made as a
speaker and writer, was made in st. Louis
during the slavery exoitements Of the ten
years. previous to the Rebellion. Mr.. Blair
was then the most extreme and imprudent O
all the agitators for abolition in that city. But
it seems to be a mistake to assert, as so many
have dole, that his views were changed during
the war. He has again and again avowed hir
continued adherence to the doctrine of pOliti
tal freedom and equal rights for all men.

tion of Seymour. Henry A. WISE, anothe Of
the latter's enthusiastic supporters, declare
upon the same occasion that he did not like
the platform, because it said secession was
dead, whereas it was more alive than ever
The nominees were, however, unobsctonabl.,
inasmuch as they would restore the "lost
cause" The gentleman who nominated
Blair for the Presidency, was none other than
the Rebel General Preston, of Ksntujkv,
who, If possible, deserved severer punish
ment than the other insurgent leaders mas
much as he had not the excuse of State
secession. He, in conjunction with Brecken
ridge, seduced thousands Of the young
men of Kentucky into the Confederacy. Pres

speech that the disfranchsed OF the South
should cast their ballots, and the bayonet must
force an entrance for them into the ballot
boxes.
Is it at all surprising that the nominations

mocracy In spite of the "gasconade'' OF
their newspapers they do not fail to see that
Lees prediction has been verified, and the
late insurgents have recaptured the Demo

rom the ". Y. Commercial Advertiser.

The Chairman of the Tammany Convention
at the time Horatio Seymour was nominated,
was the Rebel General Price, of Missouri,
whose State never pretended to secede from
the Union. Ex-Governor Vance--the leader
of the North Carolina delegation which cast
its first ballot for Seymour, and fastening to
follow Ohio's lead, returned to its first love-
declared during the war "that he was going to
fight the Yankees until hell was frozen over,
and then he would fight them on the ice."
He subsequently addressed the Rebel SOL
diers in the trenches and urged them to
'pile hell so full of Yankees that their feet
would stick out of the windows" This
same unrepentant Rebel, who was so enthu-
sisshG for Seymour, halted at Richmond en-
route home from the Convention, and declared

The CASE OF SALLY ANDERsoN-Is THE
FOURTEENTH ARTICLE IN FORCE IN VIR-
GINA ?-It has already been stated that
Sally Anderson, the negro woman now in
Henrico jail under sentence Of death for
arson, has filed a petition with Judge I'm
lerwood for a writ Of ha5eas corpus.
One ground upon which the writ is de-
manded is that William E. Wade, one of the
persons holding the court, was not, in law,
at the time of the trial, and is not now, q
Justice of the county of Henrico, but that
he is expressly disqualified and prohibited
from holding and exercising the office of a
Justice by the third section of the four
teenth article of the Constitution of the
United States. The cause of this disquali-
,ication is said to be that Mr.. Wade having
in July, 1858, taken an oath as constable to
support the Constitution Of the United
States, afterward engaged in rebellion and
insurrection against the same, and gave aid
and comfort TO the enemies thereof by exer-
cising the duties of constable during the
late civil war. The petitioner, therefore,
claims that William f.. Wade and the said
county court became, and were on the 18th

act whatever.

IMPORTANT MovEMENT-THE ScALAwAG
CONVENTION TO RE-AssEMBLE.-For seve-
raj weeks past leading Radicals throughout
the State have entertained the idea of an
other session of the body known among
themselves MS the " Constitutional Conven-
ton" The idea is to appoint an early day
for vote upon the new Constitution. AS
General Stoneman has failed to order the
election, they claim that they have the
power to remedy the "neglect."
The Convention adjourned in April to
meet at the call of n committee consisting
of Underwood, Clements, Hine, Curtis, and
White. All of these persons now advocate
the measure referred to, although one or
two were hard to convince of its propriety
and expediency. Clements is particularly
anxious to take the step. Curtis yields g
rather reluctant consent.
If the arrangements now being made are
perfected the call will be issued in few
lays, and the Convention will be called upon
to meet in October. Then an ordinance
will be passed fixing for the election at an
early day in November-as soon as practi
cable after the Presidential election.
