-Coloasl W. D. Mann, OF Mobile, Ala. who
has been nominated for Congress from the
First Congressional District OF Alabama by the
Democratic Convention, is native OF New
York, and served with distinction as an officer
in the Federal army during the late war. 1m-
mediately after the close Of the war he settled
in Mobile and purchased the Mobile Advertiser
and Register, Of which he is now editor and
proprietor. He is an active, enterpIislng and
liberal man, and has done much to harmonize
conflicting prejudices, and will undoubtedly
receive large vote, as he is very generally es-
teemed.
Mr.. Raymond was man who never liked
to say ssno," and, as o consequence, he was
one of the "best bored men" in New York. The
number Of applicants for favors, political, 30
cial and pecuniary, was immense. With the
first named he could be, and was, from prln-
ciple, more decided than with tie others, but
for the latter class he ever held responsive
purse. He always had email regiment OF
personal, pecuniary pensioners, whom he
would not allow to be driven off by his associ-
ates in the Office. His social bores, however,
were thu most persistent and Unsuitable.
MANY of his best and busiest hours
we're given up. to them, and the valuable
time thus sponged from him was made up by
night work. His pensioners we're not only
those who accepted money, but included many
who aspired to journalism, and who flooded
HIM with crude essays and dreamy editorials.
How many Of these were licked into shape by
the associate editors of tie paper, none but
they know, and how many Of these imbecile
efusions were paid for and never used, not
even the cashier OF the establishment could
say, for many were charged to MIR. Raymond's
private account.
Hon. Alexander d. Stephens writes that
be is slowly improving in health. His time is
occupied in the preparation Of second vol
ume of his constitutional View of the late
War between the States, which he styles 'the
worst and most culpable tha6 ever took place
on EARTH Our constitution, as made by the
fathers, was one OF the most wonderful politi-
cal achievements ever attained by genius and
patriotism. Had it's principles been adhered
to, this late terrible war would never have oc-
Cured, and the only hope now for the present
and the future Of the country, is to bring back
the Federal administration to the true princi
pies of the constitution. , This can only be
done by pirtuous, intelligent and patriotic
people, When bad men conspire to impose
their usurpations outside the constitution.
good men everywhere must combine to keep
all such mon out Of power. This can only be
done by the publication Of truths and by
awaking IN the minds Of tbe peopls senss OF
the dangers which threaten them, and to arouse
them to future action before it Is too late.
The only proper remedy for all existing evils
and the greater ones which appear in the tu-
