The Election.

The election for members of the State Con-
ven tlon passed off yesterday. Very little IN
terest was manifest. The day was almost ike
dence of excitement.
Two tickets were voted-one was the nom
inees of the Democratic primaries. The other

mated.

law requires.
The voters, regardless OF color, were each
required TO show their registration tickets,
and then the oath was administered 10 each
one.
The polls opened at eight O'Clock and
closed at four O'Clock.

Excellence is never granted to men
but as the reward of labor.
He is fool who cannot be angry
but he is wise who will not.
A cruel story runs on wheels, and
every hand oils the wheels as they
run.
Consider how few things are worthy
of anger, and you will wonder that any
but fools should be in wrath.
SO live that the memory of what
you have done for others will be as
sweet as the memory of what Others
have done for you.
The Christian can be made more
beautiful by being in touch with Christ
himself as we'll as those who love
Christ.
Good nature is that benevolent and
amiable temper of mind which dispos
es US to feel the misfortunes and enjoy
the happiness of others.
In reading the Bible it is worth
keeping in mind that we are going to
get out of it neither more nor less than
we make room for.-Lafferty.
Looking at things with the other
mans eyes would make you change
your opinion ofsome of your fellow.
men. "As ye would that men
should do unto YOU"
TO circulate an evil report about
your brother which you do not know
to be true, is only less oftense than
to give currency to story which you
know to be false.
We needn't think we are sinners be-
cause men accuse us. Christ had
accusers who always found some fault
with him. These accusations did not
make him bad man.
Stereotyped prayers are like Fourth
of July celebrations. There was q
time when all this noise expressed
something; now it is kept up as a
timehonored custom.-Latferty.
Let no man attempt to divide his
service and devotion between Christ
and the world. AS soon as we attempt
this we find ourselves all on the side of
Satan. No man can serve two masters.
Sorrows are stones in life's pathway.
Unbelief stumbles blindly along and
falls over them. Faith, ever open-eyed,
sees them, seizes upon them, and sets
them up for steps to heaven.-Latferty.
Clouds-how could the parched and
thirsty earth exist without them q?
And these darkened heavens that rain
down tears of sorrow on our hearts
are they not life-giving showers to be
purer, better self?
When brain is hot and the heart
seems cold and the spirit is burdened
with a sense of failure, then is the
time to rest on Him. 1t is only at
such time that we fully realize the
superiority of simple faith over all feel
ing.
So long as skeptics are dependent
upon the religion which they discard
for every privilege which they enjoy,
they may well hesitate little before
they seek to rob the Christian of his
hope and humanity of its Saviour
james Russell Lowell.

and bare touches the heart of God.
Right helps everybody in the universe
sweeping, with a wave of gladness, up
through wide-swung gates of pearl to
happy hosts immortal, who rejoice
over one sinner starting home.

Question Of Senators.

if be contended that one Senator Is un-
able to represent little city like Charleston,
how many Senators should the great cities be
entitled to? We have seen the statement
that Charleston is the only County In the
United States that has two Senators. We are
inclined to the opinion that Charleston will
have but one after the sitting OF the Conven.

GOOD RAINS.
The Cotton and the Corn.

During the last week we have had good
rains, and the earth is thoroughly soaked.
The usual cry about short crops OF cotton Is
heard in the land, but cotton never falls. In
the spring the people said they did not want
big crops, but Ii seems TO US that they have
changed their tune, and now wish they had
the biggest sort of crops.
The corn yield is perhaps twice as much as
that OF any year since the war. This result Is
In consequence of the large area in the grain.

DISTINGUISHED GUEST.
Lieutenant General Stephen ID. Lee
on Il Visit to His Distinguished
Kinsman DIR. w. A. Lee.

Lieutenant General Stephen D. Lee of Mis-
sissippi is in town the guest OF DR.. w. A. Lee.
General Lee was one Of the most distin-
guished soldiers of the Confederacy, and was
perhaps the equal of any General officer in
the army, not excepting General r. +. Lee.
Whether in command of cavalry, infantry, or
artillery his ability In handling men was not
able and his successes warrant the assertion
that he was one of the best Generals in the
service.
Last night quite number of our people
called at the mansion of our distingulshe
fellow-citizen DR.. w. A. Lee, and paid their
respects to the great military commander.
The cornet band turned out and followed by
multitude, repaired TO the home OF DR.. Lee,
and rendered a serenade to the distinguished
military chieftain, and called on him to res
pond.

During the period of nineteen months, jan
uary, 1862, to July, 1863, inclusive, over one
million cases of wounds and disease were en-,
tered upon the Confederate Held reports, anu q
over four hundred thousand cases of wounds
upon the hospital reports. The num-
ber of cases of wounds and diseases treat,
ed In the Confederate field and general
hospitals were, however, greater curing tae
FOLLOWING twenty-five months, ending April,
1865. is safe to affirm, therefore, that more
than 3,0OO0OD cases OF wounds and diseases
were cared for by the officers OF the medlcai
corps of the Confederate army during the civ
ii war of 1S6l-'65. The figures OF course do not
indicate that the Confederacy had In the neld
an army approaching 3,5OO,OOO. On the con con
