An unsorhissica,eo senator.

GRANT, in acting his part as tyrant,
has suspended the writ of hd5eas corpus
in many counties Of South Carolina,
among them the county of Marion. The
Radical Senator from that county writes
10 the u 5. District Attorney, begging
him to have this dcspotic order revoked
He says this would be but lust and fair
to the people of Marion, as no Ku KluX
outragcs have ever heen committed in
the county"
Simple Senator! Unsophisticated pol,
itician. Suppose there has not, what
docs GRANT carc9 The slightest ac-
unain,ance with GRANT would have
prompted the Senator, instead of Offer
ing this absurd reason,'to have merely
stated that Marion county was unani-
mously in favor of GRANTS re election.
This would have abolished the order,
aud secured an humble apology.

Queen VictOria's Court Breakfast,

A Yankee correspondent thus speaks
of Queen Victoria's breakfast in Buck
ingham Palace Park :-"On these occa-
sions the Queen walks about very smil-
ing clipper, with white cap that looks
like French bonne's over her head,
and the widows weeds thought light
ened by a suspicion here and there Of
white lace or Grape. The breakfast
takes place in the afternoon, at half-past
four o'clock, and the ladies attend in a
costume gotten up expressly for the oc-
casion. They gossip and chatter in
groups on the sward, while the gentle
men, in uniform and stars and garters,
quiz them in highly aristocratic way,
or discuss politics in the arbors. The
little Princess of Wales in particular is
very lively and popular on these occa-
sions, and has sprightly air. which
neither the well known propriety and
haughtiness of her royal mamma or the
Indifference of her big lazy husband
seems to have dampened.

II an, in the bakrhouye, SIR"

A GOOD anecdote is related of DR..
Rice, which enforces its own lessons
When he was at the head of the theolog
ical seminary of Prince Edward, one Of
the out parishes of Virginia sent to him
for minister. They. as usual in such
cases, wanted a scholar, gentleman, an
orator, pastor. fine writer-in short,
perfect minister. They "had formerly
given $3.50. per annum; but now, il
they could get such nan as they want
ed, they could raise it to S400. The doc.
tor answered by telling them to send to
heaven for DR.. Dwight. He was the
only such man he knew; and as he had
been living a good while on spiritual
food, he might possible live on four hun
dred dollars
