"A Washington telegram to the New York
Herald says: "Some little interest attaches
to the contest for the postmastership Of
Columbia, South Carolina, from the fact
that one Of the candidates is pure Afri-
can and e1-s,ave, and enjoys the support and
confidence Of one Of the senators from the
Palmetto State. The chief opponent Of this
dusky would-be postmaster is Captain D. A.
Moore, formerly of New York, who is said to
be well recommended by the business men Of
Columbia. The darkey, however, stands the
best chance, and will be likely to win." [C. n.
Wilder, the "darkey" alluded to, is not ga
pure African" although he is an "ex-slave."
On the contrary, he is bright mulatto, tall,
well made and rather handsome. BE has the
rudiments OF an English education, is civil
fellow, and would probably be as acceptable to
the people OF Columbia as his alleged "chief
opponent" Captain D. q. Moore, formerly of
New York.-EDs. NEWS.

going to the ID if Grant goes on in this
way"-''what business has he to make his
brother-in-law marshal here ?"-''do you know
where there's vacant consulshlp?"- I
better get all the names can, or will q few
frst-cla. IS signatures be best ?"-"when had
