JUDaE GRAHAM.--Public seryic,

JGDaE GRAHAM.--Public services
we'll performed, deserve public praise.
Robert F. Graham, young man COM
pared with those who have sat in his
seat upon the bench of South Carolina,
was elected at the last session of the
Legislature to fill the unexpirsd term
of Judge Carpenter, whose metorio
career is part of political history. With
ability equal to that which has so dis
tinguished our judiciary in the past /;
and which has been recog nized and
bowed to by that galaxy of able critics
the Charleston bar, Judge Graham has
filled his position, with credit to himself
aud universal satisfaction to all. At the
close of his term he must feel that rich
est recompense which performance of
duties ever brings and which repays a
deeper and truer satisfaction than the
public appreciation and plaua;t.
In these times when so much COM
plant is made against those filing Offices
of public trust, instances are rare, where
u general and felt sa atisfaction rewards
the officer. Such is Judge Graham's S
position now before the people of his
State, and p:oud position is it to
occupy. Amid the expressions of ap-
probation of the people and with the con-
scious rewar; of his own heart, his first
term closes. That he will be reelected
is almost certainty. 1t is duo to him.
self and it is due to this people that he
should be reelected There is likely
to be no opposition to Judge Graham S
reelection and there should be none.
The Legislature by his reelection will
do their duty to the man who has been

position, and they will crafty the peo-

TERRIBLE CoLD.-During the last
week we have #eathered one Of the
coldest snaps, ever felt in this country.
Why, on last Friday, the view looking
down Main Street to the river was novel
and brilliantly strange. Tho woods,
covered with their drapery of iciclcs,
presented the appearance of vast white
winding sheet, which seemed to rest over
the whole forest. Not only with us, but
over the North and Northwest the spell
was bitter and intense. Blankets of the
warmest and best material are absolute

provide himself at once. Furs, shawls,

trust entirely to the agents repres-

he may be perfectly honest and up

prejudiced in favor of that which is

who has been interviewed by agents

The Sumner Muss.

Washington, March l3-The re-
moval of Mr.. Sumner from the Com
mittee ofForeign Relations continues
the exciting topic in all political
circles, and its probable effect on the
future of the Republican party and
the denomination of President Grant
are freely discussed All Republi-
cans, except few of Summers per-
sonal enemies in the Senate, agree
that the occurrence will be damage
ing TO the party, and may prove dis
astrous, in short, that il was gross
political blunder The Democrats
are highly elated about the affair.
They say the denomination of Grant
IL inevitable, because there is no man
of sufficient strength to oppose him,
but that his defeat will follow as a
necessary result of the discussions
occasioned among the Republicans.
Many leading Republicans, on the
other hand, assert that Grants re-
nomination is now out of the ques-
ton, and that it is necessary TO be-
gin to look about for a more availa-
BILE candidate, if the party is to be
saved from defeat. They argue
that the entire body of the New Eng
land republicans will be hostile to
him on account Of Summers removal,
and that it has alienated also all the
original antislavery men through
out the country, who have always
formed the active working element
ofsthe Republican party. There is al
ready much canvassing relative to
the merits and popularity of many
prominent public men, with a view
of their possible candidacy for the
Republican nomination. Among
others, the names of Colfax, Blaine
Sumner, Logan, Schenck and Cox,
are chiefly mentioned.
