A pleasing discovery has been made at
the White House. I
Itwas thought not only by the senate
and members of the cabinet, as we'll as the
country at large, but also, as far as is
known, by Gen. Babcock, that the last
one of Gen. Grants relations had been
some time ago provided with satisfactory
Office ....
Within a few days, however, new
cousin has turned up. His name is Tomp-
kins. His family lives in Charlestown, W.
Va, where the President made them a
brief visit last year. Mr.. Charles Temp
kins was not at home at that time, and
this accounts, perhaps, for his delay in
seeking the perquisite of his kinship, Also,
he may have spent some of the intervening
time in looking through the registers and
over the map to find proper place. Isl
He has now, however, made choice,
and has just been appointed United States
marshal In Colorado. Lest it should be
supposed that this kinsman has hitherto
been entirely neglected, it may as we'll be
added that. under the rule Of Mr.. Shep-
herd, he was interested in street contracts
| in Washington.

There is disposition on the part of
some of the Administration organs to
claim party credit in the defeat of But
Ter. Chandler. and Carpenter. Look, !"
they cry, land see how we are reforming
the party from the inside. We are turn

could be more false than these assertions.
All of these men were defeated in spite
of party and party machinery. In each
case the whole power of the Administra-
tion was thrown in favor of the defeated
candidates, and the whole credit of the
change belongs to the men who had the
courage to bolt caucus nominations, and
to stand fearlessly by their sense of right

The Sunday school Convention.

The Sabbath school Convention
which met upon call, last Fri
day, at the Methodist church, and
which reassembled on Saturday.
seems not to have been heard OF. or
was not borne in mind by the
friends of Sabbath Schools through
out the county. Very few were
present except those living in town,
and by no means as many Of these
as might have been. Nevertheless,
we had the convention, and enioyed
it too, and feel that the occasion
was by no means a failure. The
various topics bearing on the inter
ests OF Sabbath School progress and
efficiency, were discussed, and we
think we may say there was an in
terest excited and intensified in the
bosOms Of those present, which they
have not felt before.
During the progress of the occa-
sion, the convention was entertained
and edited by remarks from the
chairman, Esquire James McCalIum,
Rev. Wellborn Mooney, DR.. DuBose,
a. c.. Dinwiddie, L. W. Ewing, ESQ,
and Z. 81. n. Jones. At the close
Of the forenoon session Of Saturday,
as it was the hour appointed for
Quarterly Meeting, Dr. Rivers, by
request, improved the occasion by
a very impressive and appropriate
sermon, on the great duty OF rear
ing children ''in the nurture and adj
monition of the Lord
And upon the whole, we report
that the convention was a success.
From abroad, besides a few others
in attendance, we mention Esquire
Jones from Shoal Creek, and Mr..
Newman from BETHANY, both Of
whom contributed to the interest of
the occasion by many practical and
judicious suggestions. We felt our
own zeal in the cause greatly quick
ened by the warm advocacy brought
to it by these gentlemen, and we
close this informal notice of the
convention, by expressing the hope
that we shall have another conven-
ton some time this fall, and in the
firm belief that there win be a large
" increased attendance.

man Of good family and fortuIle, and
his present project is simply for
pastime and pleasure. The conduct
of the troupe here was exemplary,
and the Colonel himself deposited
with Mr.. Bridges, of the Alaclo
House, $1,000 rs security for his
bill. We have rarely seen q combi-
nation that we could feel more safe
