We learn, from our Bedford coun ty friends, that our friend and former associate, Gen. D. Stewart Elliott, of Ev erett, will be a candidate for the State Senatorial nomination, in the district com posed of the counties of Somerset, Bedford and Fulton. It would give us great pleas ure to hear that our friend had received the nomination. The election would fol low as a matter of course. The General was a faithful soldier during the long years of bloody war, and since his return to private life he has been a zealous and never flagging defender of Republican principles. He is a young man that can be of great advantage to his district in the future, while, if some old stager is preferred, there is no fuiure before him. We are in favor of young men as against inexperienced old men, when the former manifests the necessary stability of char acter, energy and talent, because there is some chance for an outcome. We hope that the General may be successful, and we' feel confident he will make a record that will be alike creditable to himself and his constituents. as_ Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial, delivered on Wednesday, be fore the Kentucky Press Association, an address, entitled, "The Press and the Peo ple." It was a trenchent, practical discus sion of the sphere and duty of the press, in dealing with the public issues of the hour. A distinct line of demarkation be tween the utterances of the paper and those of its advertising patrons, and the use of the advertising columns for all public announcements were urged. He said : "It would be preposterous, in Philadelphia, to hold a public meeting for a religious or political, social or benevolent purpose, without advertising it in the Ledger.— When the Philadelphian wants to know what meetings are to be held, he looks, not to the local column, but to the adver tised notices. If he should see a "local" reference to a meeting he would not know whether it was authorized or not ; but the regular advertised notice, according to the custom of the city, gives the names and date, hour and place, and is exactly to the point. There is no nonsense about it, and it means business. Here is a Public policy worthy to be studied and imitated; and if the Philadelphia system were generally adopted, it would save us from many amia ble but presumptious demands." To all which we give cheerful assent. "Inde pendent journalism" is, of course, strongly commended, but be is at pains to define what this is. The 23.ibune, as it was un der Greeley, and the Herald under Ben nett, if they could have been united in one, would have made an ideal independ ent journal. The address is ckstr, terse, practical, and good. News and Notes from Washington Marriage of the President's Daughter— The Young Couple—The Marriage Cer emony— The Guests—The Wedding Breakfast—Presents and Wardrobe— Departure—Accommodations on Ship board. WASHINGTON, May 22, 1874. THE BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM Something out of the usual routine of Washington life gave variety to the at tractions and conversation yesterday. It was the marriage of the President's only daughter, and it is noted that this is the third wedding that has occurred at the White Rouse. When Gen. Grant was called to com mand in person the Army of the Potomac, his family prepared to leave their Western home, and subsequently followed him to Washington. At that time Miss Nellie was a mere child. She and her three brothers, two of them mere lads, could be seen nearly every pleasant day driving in a small, double-seated, four.wheeled car riage, drawn by two ponies. Soon after this the brothers left the city to complete their education, while Nellie remained with her mother, and pursued her studies in the city. Two years ago, at the age of seventeen, she accompanied the family of Mr. Boris, ex-Secretary of the Navy, on a visit to Europe. Returning she made the acquaintance of her future husband on the passage out. It was a case of love at first sight, followed by a mutual attachment. It is known that when Mr. Sartoris first sought the eonsent of Miss Nellie's father to visit her with a view to marriage, that the President consented on conditions that Mr. Sartoris would become a citizen and resident of the United States. This was, after correspondence of the father of the young man, made a condition of the mar riage with the approval of all concerned, and the young man purchased a choice farm in the Northwest, where he was en gaged in making a future home for him self and his future wife. His father was then a member of the British Parliament, but at the recent election his conservative opponent won the seat. The marriage was originally designated to occur about a year hence; but th elder and only brother of younf , Sartoris, now only twenty-three, was killed, and Miss Nellie 's future hus band became heir to the entailed English estates, which are of large extent, situated in the West of England, just opposite the Isle of Wight. This made the farm boy a a rich heir and resulted in an entire change of the programme. It was decided that their future residence must be in England, and the President consented. Mrs. Grant feels the separation from her only daughter most keenly, and showed it severely during the ceremonies yesterday. The young man has an umblemished char acter, and is a favorite with all whom he formed an acquaintance during the few weeks he was in Washington. Miss Nellie is remarkable for her sweetness of disposition and gentle, unassuming deport ment. They carry away with them the sincere wishes of all classes in Washing ton, for their future welfare. Mrs. Grant will visit her daughter during the Autumn months. The father and mother went to New York, to-day, to see the young couple off on their way to England to-morrow. EDITOR THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY. About two hundred and fifty invitations were sent out, mainly to relatives and friends of the family ; and fully one-half of those invited living in distant States, their attendance was not expected. About one hundred and twenty-five persons were present. It was the wish of the parents of the bride to avoid everything like an official coloring. n member of the Dip lomatic Corps was present, excepting Mr. Minister Thornton, the official representa tive of England. THE EAST 100111. Here I must call in the aid of an eye witness, who says : "Plants and cut flowers of various colors were arranged in elegant profusion. In the recesses and corners and about the windows and doors ferns and palms were placed. The pillars that support the ceil ing were entwined with evergreens, stud ded with japonicas and chased with hello tropes and rare blossoms. On the eastern side of the room, and immediately in front of the main entrance, a platform had been erected, extending between the two win dows. This platform was about nine inches in height and covered with a Persian car pet of beautiful design. On each side were banks of flowers embedded in moss, and over its centre, pending from the ceiling, was a large belt, wrought of the purest white camelias and suspended by a cord of evergreen twisted and curled to resemble a rope. On each side of this marriage bell, under which the youtp , ' people were to be united, were wreaths of evergreens, sprinkled with a delicate white blossom. That on the right of the bell contained the letters, "A. C. F. 5.," the initials of the bridegroom, while that on the left con tained the letters, "N. W. G.," the ini tials of the bride. These letters were com posed of small, delicate and rare white flowers. The handsome glass chandeliers were festooned with ropes of evergreen, studded with red and white roses. A few boquets were placed on the mantels and tables, which completed the floral decora tions. The other rooms were also taste fully arranged with flowers. THE WEDDING GUESTS. A few minutes before eleven o'clock the members of the Cabinet and their ladies, led by Mr. and Mrs. Fish, entered the East Room and took position on the left and near the platform, and all not already there followed into the room. The guests arranged themselves in two divisions, leav ing a broad avenue for the passage of the bridal party to the platform on the opposite skle of the room. It was a joyous assebbly, quiet in demeanor, easy and natural in behavior, and illumined with smiles of delight that revealed the hearty good wishes entertained for the future happiness of the youthful couple whose nuptials they were present to witness. Rev. Dr. Tiffany now made his appearance upon the platform, and every voice was hushed and every eye strained toward the door by which the bridal cortege was to enter. ENTRANCE OF THE BRIDE AND GROOM. The Marine Band, in a room a little distance off, commenced playing, "I think of Thee," and the bridal procession entered the East Room. First came the bride groom, supported by Lieut. Colonel Fred. Grant, in the full uniform of his rank in the army, and who walked on the right of the bridegroom. Then followed the eight brides-maids—Misses Conkling, Freling huysen, Porter, Sherman, Drexel, Dent, Fish and Barnes—dressed in white, and moving gracefully forward in couples. President Grant, with the bride on his left arm, followed. Then came Mrs. Grant, flanked by her two younger sons, Jesse and Ulysses. Following them was a small number of the bride's relatives. The bridegroom wore a serious, determined look, as if he were struggling to keep the agitation of the moment From being mir rored on his countenance. Miss Nellie entered with upraised bead and intent look. The color had faded from her face, but she betrayed no nervousness, gazing straight before her, with eyes fixed with an intentness that gave dramatic effect to her entree. Her step was firm and confi dent, and, if you could forget her pale face, no queen ever went to coronation with a more queenly air than Miss Nellie went to meet her bridegroom. The President wore his usual stolid expression, and directed his vision to a point about five paces to the front. Mrs. Grant looked sad, yet there was a loitering smile of joyous pride beaming from her flooded eyes. Mr. Sar toris and Fred. Grant stepped up on the platform, and stood on the right-hand side. The bridesmaids halted when about mid way between the door and the platform, the President and the bride passing be tween them. When about three paces from the platform, Mr. Sartoris stepped down, and, advancing, met the bride and led her to the assigned place, on the left side of the platform, when he surrendered her to the President. Miss Fish stepped up and stood beside the bride, the other attendants forming a semi-circle in front of the platform, and Mrs. Grant and her two sons standing in rear of these. TILE NUPTIALS, Dr. Tiffany, of the Methodist Metro politan Church, stepped forward in front of the young couple and united them for life in accordance with the simple ritual of the Methodist church. A ring was used in the ceremony. Mr. Sartoris repeated firmly after the clergy man. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Tiffany in a feeling and impressive manner, and during its performance sev eral of the young lady friends of the bride were moved to tears. The two principal actors remained motionless throughout the ceremony. The President looked stead fastly at the floor, while Mrs. Grant held her two youthful sons by the hand and, heroically struggled to sui press the ming led feelings of emotion that naturally agi tated the maternal breast. Fred Grant gazed on the officiating clergyman just as you would expect to see him gaze if en gaged in chargini , do enemy's battery. Immediately after the benediction D-. Tiffany raised the brides wail and kissed her. Her father, mother, and brothers followed, in the order named, when the lady guests pressed forward and presented their greetings and the gentlemen their congratulations. THE WEDDING BREAKFAST. The bridal party and guests then pro ceeded to the State dining•room, wherein was spread a table that has probably never been excelled in this country fin• richness, artistic skill, and systematic arrangement, and the floral decorations herein were complete. The centre of the table was oc cupied by the bride's cake, pearly white, crowned with a beautiful white boquet of white, delicate flowers, arranged in the highest style of art. The cake was pyra midal in shape, and from it extended to near either end of the table a decoration of natural flowers. On these, and on ade lightful tray of flowers at either end of the table, appeared pretty miniature flags,— red, white, and blue, respectively. THE BRIDAL PRESENTS. The presents consisted of the usual va riaty, and amounted in value, it is said in about $60,000. They were arranged to the President's library, and were minutely inspected by the guests. A very large proportion of them came from friends in Philadelphia, but they includea rich pres ents from New York, Boston, &e. THE WARDROBE, &C. The trousseau was mostly selected in New York city, as time would not permit of a full order being sent to Paris; but the laces were selected abroad, and exceed in beauty anything ever seen here. There are two complete sets, one of white lace and the other black. This is the magnificent gift of the President to his daughter.— There are silks of every hue and color.— Each gas-light silk dress is made with two waists—one decolletee, the other high There are shawls from India, laces direct from the manufactory of Brussels, parasols with superb ivory handles, muslin dresses with French worked flounces, others with puffs and lace inserting. There arc gauzes, grenadines, and hat?, for every costume, slippers fbr each evening dress, and the lingerie is so fine and dainty that the sight of it brings delight to every feminine heart that rejoices in delicate embroidery, soft lace, and fine needlework. Mrs. Conly, of New York city, made the bridal-dress, and most of the others, some forty in number, which have all been pack ed away in large boxes for travel. The traveling costume of the bride is of mignonette silk, and camel's hair cloth, skirt of silk, trimmed with flounces and shirrings of silk, : and the basque and over skirt of camel's hair, richly embroidered. Miss Belle Jackson accompanies Mrs. Sartoris to England as dressing-maid. ENROUTE FOR ENGLAND. At 12 M. the bride retired to change her dress, the company commencing about that time to leave, and at 1.15 P. ax., the couple emerged from the front door, and, with the bride's youngest brother, Ulysses, were driven in the President's four-in hand team, accompanied by General Bab cock, in his carriage, to the Baltimore and Potomac depot, where, at 1.40 P. 31., a special palace-car bore them away to New York, whence they will sail to-morrow for England. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PARTY ON SHIPBOARD. Mr. Sartoris having signified his inten tion of crossing the Atlantic in the steam ship Beltic, of the White Star line, the most extensive preparations are making on that vessel for the accommodation of him self and bride. Captain Charles M. Ken nedy hasgiven up his cabin on deck, which he is fitting up as a boudoir for the bride and the ladies accompanying her. The in ternal fittings have been altered and adorn ed, and the room, before the upholsterers leave it, will be as hondsome a boudoir as is to be found in Fifth avenue, New York. A rich Turkey carpet covers the floor ; lace and crimson damask curtains hang at the windows, and from the ceiling arc sus pended several bronze lamps of an antique pattern. The furniture of this apartment is a lounge, which at night can be turned into a bunk, an elaborately-carved walnut toilet-stand. Stateroom No. 1 has also been secured for the party. It is almost as large as three ordinary state-rooms, and is so situated that no motion of the vessel is perceptible to its occupants. The room was fitted up for the occommodation of a party of Englishmen on the last trip of the Baltic. The room has been entirely refitted. Only two of the berths remain, and as these fold up in into a settee the apartment will be used as a reception room. The furniture is of walnut, and consists of two sofas, easy chairs, card-tables, a writing-table, and a liqueur rack. The walls are covered with mirrors, the ceiling is snow-white, relieved with pink, and several statuettes adorn the angles of the room. Mr. Sartoris and his bride will dine with the other cabin pas sengers their seats being on either side of Captain Kennedy, at the head of the table. N. IL P.
