The Scene OF Eleetion-It unninE Debate
on Candidates.
The joint Assembly convened at P.
NJ. for the election OF Judge. W. 81.
Jones, of Georgetown, was the fret to
address the joint Assembly. He said
that as Republicans, and as race, they
we're making history. They should see
to it that it be worthy. he stoutly
urged upon them to do no violence to
their Republican faith. They should re-
member and heed the example Of two
judges being elected to the Supreme
Court OF the United States expressly to
uphold the reconstruction policy in the
Southern States. We should show, he
said, to tho eyes Of the civilized world,
by electing oolored man to preside
over the Eighth Circuit, that We have
the talent and learning necessary to the
highest stations. He nominated, after
eulogistic remarks, W. J. Whipper as his
candidate. Humbert, of Darlington,
nominated Thompson 81. Cooke, Of
Orangeburg, as a gentleman, RepHbli-
can, and O man of ability. Jervey, Of
Charleston, seconded the nomination OF
Mr. Cooke. he deprecated the effect Of
sending up to a district composed moro
largely of white than of colored men q
colored Judge. Strife would at once be
fomented. He desired to make this
election test OF principle rather than Of
color. he did not favor the election Of
Whippor, therefore, and he was equally
opposed to the choice Of the oircuit,
(Gen. McGowan.) IT was not advisable
to elect O man standing in direct opposi-
ton to the party in power. Elect dis
Greet Judge within the party lines. who
would quiet the chronic troubles in the
upper part of the State. Sperry, Of
Georgetown, seconded the nomination Of
Whipper, and justified the choice of q
man OF color, by reference to the aocep:-
ableness of Judge Wright on the Su-
preme Bench. Ellis, member from Alb
beville, nominnted Gen. McGowan, as q
man learned in the law and O friend of
the poor.
Boston, of Newherry, proposed the
name OF Goodlett, of Piokens. Hamil-
ton seconded the nomination of Whip
per. After what had been said there
was propriety and necessity to elect
him, in order to vindicate the race as
capable OF high things. Thomas, of
Colieton, seconded the nomination of

IaYesterday, the periodical spasm OF an
election was enjoyed by the General Al
sembly. The appointment OF Judge Orr
to the position of Minister to Russia left
the iudgeship of the Eighth Circuit va
can't. The people Of that section indi-
GATED a desire for Gen. Samuel McG Gowan
to I'LL the place. Thus designated and
requested by the members OF the bar in
that circaIt. and urged by friends in
other parts of the State, Gen. MoGovan,
while declining to be candidate in the
technical sense, and disolaiming all soli-
citation, consented to serve in the Office,
il his friends chose to elect him. This
honorable position he maintained
throughout. Added to his conspicuous
fitness, in the eminence of his talents,
his erudition in the LAW. his instructive
experience, and in those manly qualities
OF heart which mako him a general fa-
vorite, this independent and dignified
attitude before the Legislature served to
conciiiate respect and attract suffrages.

party men were keen enough to see this
support going forth from Republicans to
one outside of their organization, md
they hastened to put stop to it. Their
journals and spokesmen raised the hue

tured upon the virtue of sticking to
their party, Of standing by their colors,
and Of strictly drawing the party lines.
They were asked, "Are not ALBANIA and
Pharpar, rivers of Damascus. better
than all the waters of Israel? May we
not wash in them aud be clean?" It
never is difficult to arouse the party
spirit, and men even of Independent
mind and character shrink from the
party lash. It was so in this case. Par
tisans with their thralls hastened to
their tents and wigwams, their club
rooms and other resorts, and comforted
themselves with practicing the party
manual and repeating the party cries.
The consequence was, they were pre-
pared to look with favor only upon one
