JUDGE BLACK.

Jere, Black is another tall, slim man,
with untold yards Of black silk for
neektie, aud standing collar which
reaches his ears like the side-bOards of
wagon, loaded with one big pumpkin.
Ills face is wrinkled, but there are rolls
OF flesh between cash wrinkle which
make it look like an old fashioned wash
ooaId. His mouth is small and screwed
down at one corner, so that it looks as if
ne was abOut to eject quid of tobacco.
HIS head is large, surmOunted by
Wig, and is apparently placed on his
shoulders awry. He is decidedly the
ugllest man in Washington. Yet be is
one of the ablest. His hands are large
aud the flesh on them is fiabby. His
voice is like that of a scolding spinster.
he argues as H he had no one to con-
tradict or argue against him; is self-pos-
sesSed beyond measure; and, when ne
cessary, is capable Of brilliant and even
startllcg Oratory. He can be very sar-
castle, but delights to deal without it,
aud manages case at law as If he was
pIayIng a game Of chess.

GENERAL HANCOCK.

GENERAL HANCOCK.
saw General Hancock, with his tall,
black. haired, swarthy aid, Mitchell,
this afternoon. Hancock has gone over
10 Johnson, body and brains, the former
the better part of him. He is a good
looking man, with large endowment
of small vanities, and enough ambition
20 make him generally discODtented
with himself. When the war began, he
went in, determined to make a
name. His courage under excite
ment is of dashing sort,
and on the field he makes a very
handsome figure, his soft, brown hair
combei smooth and worn long, his blue
eyes set in q healthy red complexion,
and his shoulders solid and stout. Well
mounted, he rides nuisily to and fro,
swearing up the columns. He was o
fayOrite Of Mcclellan, and also of Grant,
and generally got good fighting place
IN battle and quick promotion after it.
Mcclellan called him superb" He
had a good deal ofinflaence ov!r Baldy
Smith, being a gsod talker and ready in
opinions. Asa politician, he is by tra-
ditiOn Democrat, his father having
been an office-holder at Norristown,
Pennsylvania, the home of General
Hartrauft.

WITH SUPPLEMENT.
THE SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.

The result of the election in South
Carolina is of the most gratifying char
acter The new constitution is adopted
By about forty thousand majority. State
officers, members of the Legislature, and
local officers have been chosen, and with
in short time after a seif-expatriation
of more than seven years-the foremost
Secession State will return to her place
in the Union.
The new Constitution is liberal and
just in its provisions The Convention
that made it embraced many excellent
citizens of ample qualification for the
work, and in spite of the ceaseless food
of vituperation poured upon its members
by malignant and unscrupulous press,
its work was calmly, carefully, properly
done.
We are glad to feel assured that the
white men of South Carolina have at
least acquiesced III this reconstruction
If the indications given of the vote as far
as received hold out, it must show that,
while great many whites stayed away
from the polls, very creditable number
came up and voted squarely for the Con-
stitution. We are also glad to say that
we have heard of no serious attemps to
coerce poor men either to vote in the
negative or retsrain them from voting The
tactics of the Alabama Rebels found no
favor in the Palmetto State, and we are
encouraged to hope that she, who went
out of the Union because she really and
honestly believed in Secession, will be
the most earnest and honest in her good
faith in restoring her old connections.
The advces from Lo uisiana are also
favorable and the new Constitution has
been adopted by about 1000 majority.
The Republican party was somewhat
divided and the Democracy made des
peraue effort to defeat them. In this they
were encouraged by the action of Han
cock officers of election. But all was of

The advicesfrom Georgia are also good.
The full official returns have not yet been
received. An Atlanta dispatch says that
Judges who are thoroughly competent
to give an opinion, now estimate that the
constitution has been carried by at least
1000 majority, and that Bullock is chosen
governor by 5000. 1t is probable that a
majority Of democrats have been chosen
to the legislature. but it remains to be
seen whether enough of them can take
the oath to make IA quorum.
North Carolina has followed the eX-
ample of It's neighboring State and has
ratified the Constitution by at least twen-
" five thousand majority, elected Holden,
Republican candidate for Governor and a
majority Of the Republican Congressman.
The Legislature is largely of the same
political faith.
