Coon WORDS WELL SPoKEN.-Our
contemporary, the Charleston Nems,
closes an article, reviewing the political
situation of the South, thus:
"But there is one comfort. States
and races have an amazing vitality.
They often-times grow most rapidly,
like the palm trees when weights are put
upon them. A people who retain their
manhood, their industry. their virtue,
cannot long wear the yoke, nor need
they wait for the vindication8of history.
Having distinct end to accomplish,
united by a common wrong, inheriting
the legends and the personal reoollec-
tions Of heroic past, cultivated, prac-
ticed in large and liberal statesmanship-
we, Of the South, certainly have no
reason to despond, or to doubt, even
amid the grievances and expressions of
the times, that 'the day of our redemp-
tion draweth nigh. Every year, a
larger number of Southern youth, whom
the fourteenth amendment cannot dis
qualify, are entering upon the arena of
political life. And the present voters of
the South may even now accomplish
much by submitting to and adjusting the
circumstances in which we are placed, 80
as to insure the defeat of radicalism
Nay, are we not, in some respects, repre-
hensible for the condition OF State affairs.
in having so long neglected the resorts
of a sagacious policy and suppressed the
inspirations of a sustaining hope?
"Somc Of the shrewdest observers Of
the drift of public affairs, already, like
the New York Sun, acknowledge that
the mission of the Republican party is
nearly completed; that its one idea is
worn out; that it is torn by the jealou-
sizes of hostile factions and rival leaders
And everybody knows that when rogues
fall out, honest men get their dues"

JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT.
The Republican Convention Of the Sev-
enth judicial District yesterday, nominated
Hon, Charles Hitchcock for Judge of the
sun7e-ne Court: A more acceptable nom
instion, both to the bar and the oonmu-
nifty. could not possibly have been made.
Mr, Hitchcock has been one of the fore
most members Of the bar Of this city tor
many years. and has enjoyed q prsctice
second in importance to that Of no other
member Of the profession. Although
comparatively s. young man, he has
acquired a competence, not more
by the exercise Of his high abilities, than
by scZspnlons regard for his professional
honor. His election as member Of the
Constitutional Convention, and as Presi-
dent of that body, were distinctions wholly
unsoughs by himself. as is also his present
nomination for the Supreme Bench. The
fairness and impartiality Of his course in
the chair OF the convention have been uni
rersal1y commended, and it is not too much

the fact that his election as Supreme 5ndl
