unusual interest-and much concern to

unusual interest-and much concern to
the situation in that State.
In South Carolina fierce contest has
just closed with the elevation of Captain
Ben Tillman to the governorship. A
bitter fight was fought, but the real
Democracy triumphed and tho Haskell
crowd went down in ignominious defeat.
A successor of Senator Waldo Hampton
is soon to be elec6ed, and there is little
likelihood whatever, of that disting-
uished gentleman being returned, Civil
Service Commissioner Thompson's re-
cent interview to the contrary, notwith-
standing.
1t would be peculiar politics, indeed,
for the Tillman party to give this rich
plumb to Mr.. Hampton in the face of
his refusal to stump the State for the
party ticket, and his ayowal of friend
ship for the cause of Mr.. Haskell, the
independent candidate.
Probably the most likely person upon
whom the mantle of the Senator will
fall will be upon William A. Courtenay,
of Charleston, the well known Earth
quake mayor" whose remarkable eXecu-
tive ability and finance skill so soon re-
lievcd the people of that stricken city
during the eventful days that followed
the 3lst of August. 1856. He is man
Of rare business force, highly educated
and popular with all classes in South
Carolina. His going to the Senate
from South Carolina would mean new
era for that State, so far as the national
councils are concerned. and a return to
that prestige of the old days when
Hayne and Calhoun were wont to win
the admiration of the galleries.
In Alabama the Alliance fight that
came to an abrupt termination some
months ago by the nomination and sub
scquent election of Governor Jones, has
opened afresh, with a fair prospect of
the defeated Alliance candidate for
governor Mr.. Kalb. being chosen to
succeed Senator Pugh.
All through the South there is man
ifest inclination to give new men trial.
The great busino IS activity that has
quickened the energies of the Southern
people has caused them to regard public
officers from new standpoint; and we
are not much of a political p ophet If
the next few years do not witness
good many changes in the personnel of
public officials in the Southern States.

souTnERN POLITICAL UNREST.

Tho student of political history will
observe that there has been unusual an
1mation in the politics of nearly every
State of the South during the past sew
eral months.
For wonder, Virginia has passed
through quite peaceable campaign
with little to mar her serenity, and GER
tainly not much to dampen the spirit of
the Democrats within her borders.
How usually difcront has it been
in North Carolina, South Carolina, Gcor-
gia, Florida and Alabama. In these
States there have been factionaI differ
ences that refuse to be headed. Our
sister State to the south OF us is more
disturbed at the political core than the
surface indications attest. The fact that
there exists antagonism in a certain
quartcr to the return of Hon. u. Il.
Vance to the United States Senate adds
