your paper Of July Sd, II, mistake not, ON
edicriol in regard TO the lonely, yes, deporable,
condition Of the old bachelors, 1 thought as I
was one of that GLASS, and probably senior of II,
that would make one or, two suggestions as to
tho remedy. But first Allow mo TO return my
sincere thanks toyoa for sour sympathy, Cor if
there was ever class That needed sympathy we
are surely ono. You state that we have no one
to love. How truel How sud tho thought,
Then you ask what is 10 DO done3 and yet sug-
gest no remedy. feur you are ytanlalizing
yee, mixing fun Of us. You remind mo Of
Jobs comforters. They came and sat with him
and yet they srake not word. You speak of
our sad condition and offer no relief. Now INV
first suggestion 10 our GLASS Is, that II VIC con
find any Indies who are not already married
Or engaged to some widower That wo
mako desperate effort 10 get them, that
we may have some one 10 love; but
from past experience I fear that wo will yet
fail, unless tho latter class are all married,
and l sincerely hopo that they IRE; but If
this DO a failure, then propose that we all
drown ourselves or that wo DO pilei and
burned, that the world may bs rid Of us.

There will be port established on the
South Atlantic Coast in the mercantile
and agricultural interests of the South
and West. Whether that port shall be
Charleston or Port Royal, will depend
very much upon the energy and enter
prise of The capitalists of Charleston. The
success Of the system ofjetties now being
constructed in deepening the channel,
and the early completion of the Blue
Railroad, or some other road, connecting
the great nlarts of the West with Charles
ton, will make it the great metropolitan
city of the South Atlantic. But if Charles
ton should become indifferent or Ignore
the exporting and importing interest OF
the South and West, then Port Royal
will become that city. The attention Of
the West is now directed to Port Royal,
and we observe from the Western papers
that the merchants and capitalists of st.
Louis have expressed their willingness
to subscribe 81, 900, 900 to make that city
the great importing and exporting point
for the South and West.

Bob Toombs for Grant and the Empire.

I met the General the other day and asked
him who would be the next President.
"Grant," he replied promptly. "He will
be the next President and the last Presi-
dent"
After Grant what?"
"The Empire, by Cd / am ready for
it. 1t is part of the inevitable, When the
North, by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments, injected 100000 savages into
the belly of the Constitution they made
popular government impossible. Grant is
a man OF power. Alec. Stephens thinks he
is the greatest man, probabl :, in public life
to-day. like him well enough myself
id sight better than do any of his crowd.
He has, to q pre-eminent degree, what will
command the irresolution of the times, and
that is dauntless courage"
lis there no Democrat who has the same
quality?"
"None-unless it is Bayard. He comes
of the purest and bravest strain of blood
that ever flowed through American veins.
If he has the nerve of the Bayard, who
turned his back on Burr and his party be-
cause he said Burr had led the party where
no clean-handed gentleman could follow it,
he will do. suspect the blood is not losing
its temper. Tom Bayard's father gave us O
hint of the old spirit when he left the Sen.
ate in 1860 because he would not swear that
lie did not sympathize with the South. But
if Grant wants the Presidency and think
he does will require man that can
meet the lightning open-eyed to stay his
steps to the White House. Once in there,
you might as well try to tear the lightning
from its seat in the clouds as to get him out
But let it come. Grant and the Empire

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The full text of this document is now
before the country. 1t was read in both
Houses on the re. assembling of Congress
on last Monday. 1t created no sensation.
In the House of Representatives very
little attention was paid to the reading Of
it, the members most of the time being
engaged in conversation, and manifesting
neither approval or disapproval. 1t will
produce as little effect upon the country
as it Gid upon Congress. Some of the
recommendations of the President are
unwise and unpolitic, and such as might
have been expected from fraud. He
recommends the restoration Of the tax on
tea and coffee, unmindful of the fact that
these articles are no longer luxuries, but
necessaries, to the great mass of the peo-
Pile; also that Congress shall make an
appropriation to defray the expenses of
United States Marshals and their Depu-
ties at the elections to be held next year !;
and, also, that the further coinage of sill
yer be suspended, and that United States
Treasury notes be retired from circula-
ton. It cannot be expected that the
present Congress will adopt any one of
these recommendations. The President
knows the suspicion with which the peo-
pie regard all Federal interference in
elections, and therefore found it neces-
sary to discourse on the rights Of free
men to vote untrammelled and the duty
of the Federal government to sustain
those rights.
On the subject of the reformation of the
the Civil Service, the President lectures
we'll, and shows that he has sense of the
purity which should characterize it, but
from the course which his Cabinet and
other officers pursued in the late elections,
he reveals himself to the country as the
unfaithful public servant, who knew his
duty but did it not.

Hon. George D. Tillman, our able rep
resentative from the fifth Congressional
District, spent a few days in Columbia on
his way to Washington, and freely ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Tilden
would be the next Democratic nominee
for the Presidency, or that he will name
the man. He does not think the old
man of Grammacy Park shelved by any
means on account of the recent New
York election. He thinks Senator Bay
ard is preposterous candidate, because
he comes from such little State, and be-
cause he is too much of Southern man
to oppose to the bloody shirt issue. We
are still betting, however, on Bayard and
Mcdonald, and believe, in spite of the
strong reasons urged by Mr.. Tillman,
that it is the strongest possible nomina-
tlon the Democratic party can mako.

A Seymour Presidential boom is be-
ginning to arise in the Democratic party.
Governor Seymour carried New York in
1868 against Grant by more than one hun
dred thousand majority, and many per-
sons think him the strongest Democrat
in the United States. He is grand old
man-as pure and simple in his habits as
he is great in ability and strong in the
affections of the people of New York.
If his health would permit him to run he
could beyond doubt carry New York,
and perhaps some other Northern States,
and his chances of election would indeed
be excellent. 1t is not, however, be-
lieved that he can possibly be induced to
run OIL account of his health.
