THE SENATORIAL ELECTION IN SOUTH GAR
oLINA.-The Washington Chronicle, paper
generally supposed to be the organ of the Ad-
mnistration, thus speaks of the election of Mr.
Patterson to the Senate of the United States,
by the Legislature of South Carolina:
We have no personal knowledge of the Sena-
tor-elect, or of his competitors, with single
exception. We cannot, therefore, be supposed
to have personal feelings in relation to any of
the parties tits in behalf of the character of
the United States Senate and the vital interests
of the country we plead when asking that hon
est men of all parties set their faces as flint
against the decentralization and degradation
that is coming upon the country through the
wholesale corruption practiced in some OF the
Southern Legislatures. When it comes to be
openly boasted weeks beforehand that such and
such man has the means to buy his way to
tile highest dignities of the land, and that his
emissaries are on the line of march provided
with the sinews of war, confident of success, in
what estimates will those bodies soon be held
whose members thus compass their success
What safety is there for liberty and public vir-
tue when it is entrusted to such hands? Is
there no sense of shame, no quickened appre-
hension of Impending danger that will serve to
place check upon this incoming flood of cor
ruption? Has the Senate of the United States
no duty to perform in this juncture? Does it
owe nothing to ITSELF to its sef-respect, to the
good name that made it the glory of the coun-
try in other days? The stream cannot rise
higher than the fountain. But to that august
body does the country look-as also to the
House of Representatives. strike blow
when opportunity presents that it will leave no
room to doubt its views of the attempt 10 reach
a seat in the legislative councils of the nation
by bribery and unbushing corruption.

Tom Scorr's WoRK.-A recent article in
the New York Financier suggests an explana-
ton of the persistency with which Mr.. J. J.
Patterson plotted and planned to secure his
election as United States Senator. The Ftnan-
cicr showed tha. the Southern Security Com
pany, the mammoth monopoly, which is striv-
ing to swallow The principal railroad lines in
the South and to the Pacific, contrives to enroll
among its stockholders influential Congressman
from every State through which its lines pass;
The head schemers are Simon Cameron and
Tom Scott, of whom Mr.. J. j. Patterson is the
disciple and bosom friend. Not long ago he is
said to have gone North to obtain the money
with which to buy his election, and the public
have right to suppose that, in the United
States Senate, MIR. Patterson will do the work
cut out for him, and be the willing tool of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Southern Secu-
rity Company. 1t is related of moral mem
Der of the Pennsylvania Legislature that, to-
wards the close Of profitable session, he rose
in his seat and said "Mr Speaker, if Tom
Scott amt got no more work for us to do, |
move that this House do now adjourn sine die"
Something of this sort will be heard in the
United States Senate if many more of the Pat
terson stripe can buy themselves seat.

WHAT SHERMAN KNOWS ABOUT FIRE
General William Tecumseh Sherman at last
tells what he knows about the burning of Co
lumbia, South Carolina. In course of catechi-
sing in Washington, on the 18th instant, touch
ing the wanton destruction of that city, he let
slip few facts which ought forever to put at
rest any dispute as to upon whom rests the re-
sponsbility of that vandal act. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal furnishes the following synopsis of the
facts drawn out by the examination:
General Sherman was examined before the
American and British Commission to-day in
regard to the burning of Columbia. lie denied
that he had issued orders to burn Columbia,
but admitted that the army was greatly eXas-
perated against South Carolina, and said this
evaporation was increased by General Hamp-
toms rear guard firing into his camp night or
two before entering Columbia, which exaspera-
tion he and his officers participated in, and this
then shown to General Sherman, purportng to
have taken place between him and General
Halleck. while on his march to Columbia. The
communication from Halleck desired him to
DESTROY Charleston and sow it with salt, so that
there might no more nullifers or secessionists
grow up there To this Sherman, in reply,
wrote that Charleston and Columbia would
soon be in his hands, and Haleck would have
no cause to complain of his treatment of them
that he had the Fifteenth corps with him, and
that corps did their work we'll, and further that
he (Sherman) would not spare the public build
ings in Columbia, as he did in Miledgeville.
General Sherman admitted, on his examination,
that this correspondence was authentic Gen
eral Sherman stated that he occupied Columbia
with the Fifteenth corps. In reply to the
question whether he kept the men in the works
after taking possession Of the city, he said not;
he could not have done so to have prevented
the burning of every town in the State of South
Carolina These responses were drawn out by
the representations of British claimants, who
allege that their property at Columbia was de-
stroycd wantonly and in violation Of the usages
of war. General Sherman manifested a good
of excitement during the investigation.

The newspapers of Victoria comment
severly upon the manner Ill which the

Indignation is expressed by the passen-
gers at the delay in preparin for their
comfort.
The following is from the Victoria
Standard of June 18th:
The quarantine establishment at Mi
cau,ey Point was made ready for the
reception of the passengers of the Prince

five passengers were landed, but owing
to the lateness of the hour further dis
imbarkaticn was stopped until yesterday
morning, when all were safely landed

good: there are two large tents borrow

PoLIrICAL GossIP.-The Tri6sne's Washing
ton special says Mr. Summer stated Saturday
that he was master of his own opinion and that
while he would not on any account ally himself
to party wherein Democrats were made can
didates, and would not on any account vote for
or encourage the election of Democrats. neither
would he on any account support Gen. Grant
for denomination or reelection. His colleague,
Senator Wilson, had long conversation with
him Friday when the whole subject was dis
cussed Mr.. Sumner advised Senator Wilson to
go with other strong friends of the President
to Gen. Grant and urge upon him to withdraw
his name as a candidate before the American
people and not to allow it to go before the dele
gates OF the Philadelphia Convention, and thus
achieve name for unselfishness and magnani-
nous conduct second to none in history. but
that if he persisted in being candidate and
office holders should succeed in renomipating
him, he would simply and emphatically be the

concerned.
