SCRAPS AND NOTES.

IN Washington society last winter
with the beginning of this season he
established himself in housekeeping
on large scale. and he and Mrs. Nc
Clellan have been among the stars in
the social ornament, no one. stirpass-
ing them in the number and variety
OF their entertainments.-W Washington
letter In Wilson, N. c., Independent
Indeed thisis mistake There were
hardly any variety in the Mcclellan en-
tertainments here last winter. Their.
was no variety in the make UP of
gueSts-they were all of enc color and
politically pre- slavery and democratic.
just like the general is now he was h"n
and always will be. On the whole the
Mcclellan receptions were but or
dinary-not one of them arose 10 the
dignity of what is really a great affair
here.
HON. ED. W. N. MACKEY.
The gentleman whose name heads
this article is the Representative from
the Charleston, s. ca district in Con-
gress' He has been three times in Con-
gress, and has just been reelected for a
fourth term. The state of South Caro-
lima never had a more faithful and en-
ergetic Representative in the halls of
Congress than Mr.. Mackey: Though
only thirty-siS years Of age, he has held
many responsible positions; having been
Tor four years Assistant U. S. District
Attorney for his state, once Speaker of
the House of Commons of South Caro-
lima, Sheriff Of the county of Charles
ton. and as above six years in Congress,
He was also rendered by President
Hayes the Chief Justiceship of the ter
rltorles. Senator Butler told him if he
would accept it that the Senate should
confirm him without referring his name
TO committee.-WilmiRgtOn, \: G.,
Post.
Yes, and when the name of two
respectable colored men of unblemished
character, were brought before the
Senate, last Congress, to be confirmed
for postmasters in South Carolina, this
same "Mr. Humbug, massacre muir
der," senator NJ. G, Butler, who waded
into the United States senate chamber
through inoffensife blackmens blood a
loot deep, used his personal influence
with republicans and his power with
democratic senators and had them de-
feated. The republican that can get
political favor and accepts them from
such man as Butler, of S. c., is not
one that ought to be countenanced by
republicans.
The National People, of Detroit,
Mich, goes for the BEE with sharb
stick. The BEE, of late, is gaining
considerable notoriety through its nom
sensical onslaughts on men and things
generally.-Enterprise, KdnSaS city.
1t was not our intention to dignity
this pocket Quixote 10y giving him
editorial notice. and we will avoid it as
much as possible in the future, By
the way, speaking of "Don QuiXote's
onslaughts On men and things gen
orally, who was it who wrote "fools
rush in where angels fear to go.-Na-
tional People.
Indeed it was pretty well thought
last season when we stung Mr.. Sweeny,
that he had rushed in somewhere that
he did not care to tread again. That
speech Mr.. Sweeny made in Liberty
Hall, Philadelphia, wherein he at
tempted to belittle the name of the
dead President, Mr.. Lincoln, in order
to create applause for and from his
democratic masters, whose money he
then had in his pocket (and expecting
more J, those words of praise for Jeffer-
son Davis, wherein Mr.. Sweeny said:
1.-The colored people are as much in
debted to Jefferson Davis as they are
to Abraham Lincoln for their free
dom" will stand out against Mr..
Sweeney and make him a marked
traitor and migrate, and an attempted
trace seller" so long as his foul traitor
Gus body is animate. Mr.. Sweeney can
make any use of this he desires. and
the writer will be glad to serve him in
any manner best suited to his taste.
The "BEE" of Washington, is trying
to sting the New York Globe" but
it is no good the "Globe" has too good a
record and too much brains behind it.
The Globe is Independent of the
bees" sting, and the "BEE" will
Chase itself down before it stings
Fortune. Wilson (N. c. Independent.
Yes we have stung Messrs. Fortune
Purvis, and Still they helped 10
defeat Hon. Geo. NJ. Robeson of New
Jersey, Republican of the Thaddus
Stevens stripe, and who had drawn the
fire of the Democrats on account of
the position he had taken as leader of
the house of Representatives in the
Lynch Chambers contest. They also
assisted in the defeat of Hon. James
A. Beaver, the wounded Union soldier,
Republican nominee for governor of
Pennsylvania, and we have proved it
on them, that they worked for and re-
ceived Democratic money and Demo-
cratic promises. Friend Independent
are you in favor of men from another
state coming into North Carolina,
after Republicans have met in regular
convention and put forward a ticket,
and using Democratic cloaks with
Republican masks to destroy the work
of Republicans.
Fortune Purvis and Sill, did this in
New Jersey, they being citizens respec-
lively of Pennsylvania and New York,
and all three of them with othrs, as
sisted in the defeat that the party
suffered in Pennsylvania and New
