.Rhode leland Election.

The election in this State takes place on
the 9Th of April, and with pluck that ex-
cites admiration, the Democrats of that
little Puritan State have put their Standard
bearers in the field.
Every year the Democrats come mp to
the mark with their full tickets. and con
test the elections as courageou>Iy and as
manfully as if they some day expected to
turn the political tide in the five little
counties of the Plantation, every one OF
which counties give Radical majority.
On Wednesday the Democrats met in Con
vention at Providence, and nominated g
full State ticket, headed by THOMAS
SrEERE, for Governor, and they will again
make fight for the mastery. The Radicals
have not yet made up their ticket. During
the last four years the vote of the State
has been as follows

rop1A to the Marquis of LoRNE, eldest son
of the Duke of Argyle, and heir apparent
IN that title and the estates OF bis father
which was celebrated on Tuesday, in st.
GEORGES Chapel, at Windsor, is an event
of peculiar interest. 1t is the first instance
which has occurred within many years,
where member of the royal family OF
England has been legally and openly, &C
cording to the forms of the established
Church, married to a subject of the crown.
The welded pair will reside, it is stated IN
Edinburg. The full names and titles OF
the distinguished couple are, respectively,
the Princess LOUISE CAEoLINE ALBERTA

road to-day is very much better in tho old
part than it was year ago. The second
improvement is in the cars, several fine
passenger coaches having been put on !;
these through to Charleston, S. c.. so
that the passenger need not change seats
from the depot here to that place, that dit
agreeable, dusty shed at Florence is avoi-
ded altogether. Another In prOvement is
in the road bed itself. We observe that
the bitches have been widened, embank

up. and the bed generally ovcrhauled. 1t

into other details. At some distant day
we propose to speak of the connecting

An I.tcrear1ns Piece Of history,

A correspondent of the Times calls at
| tentlon TO the attempt of certain members
Of Congress, during Mr.. Lincoln's admin
lstrGtion, to coerce the President into dis
missing a member of his Cabinet. The
writer relates that on the 10th of Deem
Der, 1902. a Republican senatorial caucus
adopted, by a vote Of 16 to ID, ca re- olu-
ton against Mr.. Seward
Subsequently, at another caucus, the
resolution was modified, on motion of the
late MIR. Collamer, so as to express the
sense of the Republican Senators that the
Cabinet should be reorganized but no
names were mentioned. A committee of
nine, of whom Senator Sumner was one,
was appointed to lay tho matter before tho
President.
The writer goes on
The committee waited on the Presi-
dent, stated their case, and ere invited to
call again. They did so on the subsequent
evening, and to their surprise met every
member OF the Cabinet save Mr.. Seward
Mr.. Lincoln had invited them for An inter
| change of opinion, and they again stated
their case.
Mr.. Chase. then Secretary of the Treas
ury, Indignantly said that he had not come
there to be arraiged by Senators for his
conduct. but subsequently placed mis- resig-
nation in the hands of the President IL
order to leave him free from embarrass-
ment. But Mr.. Lincoln dismissed his
senatorial dictasors with feas in their ears
remarking that he thought he was the best
judge of the ministerial conduct of his
( Cabinet advisers, and thereupon requested
Messrs. Seward and Chase to Withdraw
their resignation, which they did"
MIR. Lincoln undoubtedly did right to
resist the attempt of the Senate to dictate
to him the formation OF his Cabinet. The
Senate has the Constitutional right to re-.
ject the nomination of Cabinet minister,
but it can go no further.
Mr.. Lincoln's independent course on
this occasion compares very favorably with
the tame subservance Of the Senate to the
executive dictation more recently.
