For the especial dulsctation Of the
handful Of scalawags in our State, We
copy from Forney's Chronicle. the fol
lowing notice Of recent fashionable"
negro wedding in Washington, merely
noting the interesting circumstance that
the groomsmen and bridesmaids, land
the whole audience for that matter,)
were made up Of "whites and blacks"
in equal proportions. The Chronicle
says:
One Of tho most select audiences ever
assemble in this city among the colored
peopls met at the Fifteenth street Pres
BY terian Church on Tuesday evening,
tho 18th inst, TO witness the nuptias of
Thomas s. Boston, ESQ. assistant cash
iar OF the National Savings Bank. and
Miss Anne NJ. Wilson, only daugh-.
ter Of VIM. Wilson, Esq, cashier Of
that institution in this city. Tie church
was crowded to its utmost capacity,
with both white and colored persons.
Tho parents of tho BRIDE entered the
church precisely at half-past o'clock,
preceded by the Rev. G. H. Thompson,
OF Newark, New jersey, the officiating
clergyman. Tho bride was richly nttir-
ed in white satin trimmed with blonde
and lace. The bridesmaids, Miss Lucr
Barber, sister of II. Fl. Booker anu
Miss Laura Fisher, daughter Of Mr. D.
Fisher, were dressed in white tarletan,
trimmed The groom was neatly attir-
ed in fashionable suit of black. The
groomsmen were DR.. @. 3. Purvis,
Professor Of Howard University, and
Mr.. Bobert Burton, Of Washington
Immediately after the conclusion of the
ceremony at the church, the bridal par
ty proceeded to the house of the bride q
fathen OH L street, the doors Of which
were thrown open, and was soon filed
with gay throno Of invited guests
among the notabies present were Major
General 0. 0. Howard, ex-Presiden,
Roberts, Of Liberia, and lady John NJ.
Langston. Esq, Law Professor of the
Howard University ; Professor Bascom
and lady; Professor Barber and lady
Dr.. A. S. Augusta and lady, of the

ter returns indicate disastrous result
for ,sthe Democracy The majority
against Mr.. Pendleton is thought to
be 10000. We do not believe It will
exceed 5000. This result will be
fatal to the Presidential aspirations of
Mr.. Pendleton in the next National
Convention OF the Democracy. In
proportion as it will initiate against
Mr. Pendleton, it will strengthen
with his own party, Governor Hoff-
man, of Now York, who is no less an
idol with the Democracy of the East
ern States, han is Mr.. Pendleton
with tho Western Democracy. Mr..
Hoffman is Of the same style Of man
as his Western rival-a gentleman of
i"e culture and high impulses.
The Intelligent public will see 10
these elections confirmation of the
rropriety of the position which this
jJurnal has maintained for months
past. The position is that the South
is guilty Of ,thadncss in waiting for or
expecting her deliverence by the Ma
tional Democracy. We do not desire
Republican successes, but we cannot
make the Democracy successful. For
four years We have clung to the hope
of deliverance through Democratic
victories, and to-day we are further
removed from the goal Of our hopes,
than we were six months after tho ter
minaslon of che war. Is it stater-
manship; is It wisdom, or is it sheer
blind, stupid Bourbonism that looks
only to the past, closes its eyes to the
events that are sweeping on with ir-
resistible power, and continues it's
aborative struggle against the inevita-

1t is admitted that the Ohio election
confirms the belief. heretofore expressed
by Senator Sherman, that the West will
present strong front in opposition to
the financial policy Of the Administra-
tion. Many of the Republican voters
though Withholding their suffrage from
Pendleton, are pledged to his policy Of
paying the United States Bonds in
greenbacks. There IS to be grea,
struggle on this question, and it will
commence during the present Congress.
New party lines are to be drawn in
reference to the Debt, aud the currency
and taxation. As to the Fifteenth
Amendment it is still left in doubt. The
decision Of Ohio will be deferred for
another election. But if this question
be disposed Of prior to 1872, the chlel
political issue will be upon the financial
questions = Cor. Charleston Courier.

officers of that packet a diamond i'll
the rough, which in its unpublished
state, is supposed to be worth some
where in the vicinity of 100000. 1t
is further supposed to be the second OF
third diamond in size in the world.
1t is about the size of walnut, per-
fectly transparent, it has the power of
magnifying to the same extent as
