IF o European potentate should be i'll,
his condition would he bullctined every
hour of the day, and the immense net
work of Geographic wires that girdlc
the earth would flash the intelligence
to the remotest bounds, but here i'll the
Republic Of South Carolina, when her
Governor, and the best beloved citizen
of the State is lying at the point of death,
one or two lines, two or three or four
times a week will announce that his on
dition is improving while the same is
sue of these dailies may from day to day
contain hundreds Of words by telegraph
in reference to the stolen putrcfying
bones of Stuart. We are unable TO ac-
count for this state of things. The Regis
ten. is published at the door Of the distin-
guished invalid, and could give the facts
so much desired by the public, without
cost. We are even at a greater loss to
know why the News and Courier has
not told US of the Governors condition.
It cannot be on account Of any lack of
enterprise, or for economic reasons. a
newspaper that receives columns Of tclc-
graphic dispatches every day, and
has OH one occasion received fourteen
thousand words in a single despatch,
and nightly takes the tidings of the gas
light doings of the Old World, and whose
correspondents traverse every highway
in the State, explore the mountain fast
nesses and order prancing and believing
elevations to cease their muttcrings and
to rest quietly in their little beds, would
not scrupleat the trifing expense. Then
why this stereotyped report Of the Gov
ernor's improved condition, when it is
believed that he has been since tho acct
dent which cast agloom ovor every patri-
otto heart in the State, slowly and surely
sinking into his grave. Are the people
not to be trusted with the actual facts?
Surely, when the one nan whom the
people of South Carolina delight to hon
. or, whose life is so valuable aud whose
:: death would bring so much disaster to
~them,-surely when he islying at deaths
door, isdaily, nay, his hourly condition,
should not be kept secret.

IS soon MS the Senate assembled Mr.. Cocker,
OF Darlington, moved that the Senate at once
20 into the election for United STATES senator.
This motion having prevailed, President Jc-
ter said that the nominations for United
States Senator were in order.
Mr.. Mccall, OF Marlboro: 81 have the non
or to place in nomination Il name that needs
no tribute from me, a name that Is indclibiy
impressed upon the hearts of all true sons OF
Carolina, the name OF the true, tried and
trusted Wade Hampton"
Mr.. Sciglin2, OF Charleston | rise, Mr..
President, to second the nomination which
has just been made, and in SO doing l feel
that the highest interests of South Carolina
will be subscrvcd by securing rs her repre-
sentative in the national councils, the distin-
guishcd patriot who was her defender In war
and her liberatUr in peace.
l will not pause here TO recall how during
that condition of war he contributed to make
the nane Of South Carolina illustrious, or
how in the discharge OF the more diilicultand
not the less honorable duties of peace, he
wroughtth the redemption of the State.
Nor will | In this his native State, much
less in this Senate Chamber, attempt TO show
how by the Inherent power Of his own nbso-
, lutte purity he restored the liberties OF his
people and brought their iiresidcs an cndur-
But | will say that whcrcsocver truth, good
faith and fidelity to duty shall be recognized
us the highest human virtues. and whcreso-
ever the story of u sorely oppressed, people
und their liberation by patriotic hands shall
be told there will the name of Hampton
stand foremost.
Mr.. President, The General Assembly be-
licving he can thus best serve the state. will
this day tender to him their highest gift, and
in so doing they will not only testify the APP
probation of his ability but of his great heart
which In afiiic.ion as In health, throbs alone
for the honor, peace. and welfare OF South Car
olina."
