"Of all the Southern Governors,
Chanberlain, Of South Carolina: is
most doubtful rs to how he will behave
From his record he is Nan who has
not discouutcranced frauds on the
State. How far he participated irl

not be surprised, in view Of the recent
political revolution in the West, East
and South, to see Mr.. Chamberlain
trim his sails to the breeze and re-
pudiate the rogues aud thieves that

"fse Brief: I An, Sick ="

4 correspondent of the New York
Herald, at Washington, gives the fol-
lowing in regard>to the elect Of the
election returns at the White house:
For nearly six years the Democratic
clement of the district has been dor
mant, the exit, of President johnson
carrying with it the last surviving re-
lie Of Democratic administration.
Men who were supposed to be dead
now walk the streets with faces beam
ing with sasilcs They are the REM
nauts Of the ancient Democracy. But
in official circles the scene is different.
Two years ago the President and his
cabinet met at the White House to
hear the election returns. This time the
President said it would be time enough
to hear the news through the news
papers. No one sent him election
returns, and to-day, as we'll as ycstcr
day, the Executive Mansion was de-
serted. Secretary Bristow called to
transact business, and the President,
with melancholy voice, said,
':BE BRIEF; AN SICK.
He does rot hesitate to put the re-
spousibility upon Congress, or rather
upon the Republican members Of both
houses. 1t was enough that the coun-
try should suffer the privatious and
losses incident to the panic of 1873,
without adding thereto the protracted
uncertainty of useless debate On the
currency question and the suspension
of business consequent upon this Con-
gressional agitation. One thing, how
ever, the President does not concede,
and that is that the scuseless agitation
of
TIE THIRD TERM NONSENSE
had anything to do with the result; nor
does he think that Tuesdays vote is
repuaiatiou Of the Republican party
CT Republican principles. 1t only ap-
pears to him as the work Of the panic:
but he fails to say what extent the
distress was the result Of the legisla-
tion and administration of the Repub-
l;can party. In the midst ofit, how
ever. he rencws his determination to
Eli the important federal Offices in the
South with better men: and will: 50
far as it is in his power, see that no fur
thcr weakening of the Republican
strength shall be laid to his charge,
III his Forthcoming message he will:
in aliuding to the condition Of affairs
in the South, recommend that such
measures DC immediately passed as
will enable the federal authorities to
make the laws of the country re-
spected, though it is not now clear
what additional legislation is necessary.

liamSton Female College oa the Semi
Annual Plan we find upon our table
this week, and We are pleased to notice
that the roll of students gives the
round total of no less than one hun
dred and nineteen. BY the semi
annual plan We notice that new classes
are organized at the beginning of each
semi.annual session, and pupils may
graduate at the close Of either, instead
Of only once year, and BY this plan,
new pupils can be classified much more
satisfactorily than is possible under
the usual system, and if pupil fail
to sustain herself in the class to which
she has been assigned, she is required
to make up ouly sessions deficiency,
instead of years, as formerly. We
like this plan much And besides,
any pupil who averages - or over is
entitled to discount ranging from 10
to 80 per cent on her next sessions
tuition. There are many other points
of Interest in the catalogue, and We
take pleasure in advising parents and
guardians to send for copy that they
may notice it closely. Address Rev. S:
