While I am sin cerely dlstrustlul of my ability to meet the Just expectations of those who composed the Con vection, I will not decline the nomination, nor will I hesitate to say that. In my Judgment, the principles enunciated by the Convention should satisfy all who prefer a government of law, of Justice, and equal rights Jar all the fieople of the Stale, to the foul domination of an gnoraut, brutal, and irresponsible despotism. J am, therefore, "In favor of Immediate res torn, tion of our disfranchised fellow-cltlzens to all rights, privileges, and Immunities of full and complete citizenship." This, I am sure, will be accorded by every man in the State, regardless of color, who is himself fit to be free. I will enter upon the canvass early in May. and I shall endeavor to periorm my whole duty. I ask the co-operation of those only who feel themselves deserving the name and privilege of citizens. If ail such will exert themselves as duty and honor demand, we ran end etlecluully tuu forever the meanest tyranny which was ever hatched in the foul air of distempered limes.

General Scho Meld, disapproving of this obnoxious and com bustible style of literature, has addressed the following order to the editor, in which is em bodied a paragraph from yesterday's editorial Illustrative of the unreconstructed spirit of the paper. ThepeopleofRlchmonddisapproveal together of this oDstructive and incenulary policy of an organ which claims to possess their confidence; and as lor the people of the mate, they utterly repudiate newspapers of this stamp. A few of course, political fanatics and worn oat fao tionists still adhere to the suicidal doctrines of a dead and defeated party, tne resurrection of which is certainly bevond all possibility.

To-morrow, it is expected, the Times will come out with an Ingenious retraction: but its guiding spirit is sure to make himself heard again in a similar bombastlo tone. In remote portions of the State the utmost good feeling exists between the negroes and whites, where radical influence has not been used to promote dlssention. The negroes of Flnvnnna county had recently a meeting at Columbia to hear the report of their uelegate to tne convention. The delegate's speech on the occasion appears to have been by no means rabid; and several prominent white gentle men who followed him were heard with re spect and approval.

They circulated a petition for subscriptions for this purpose on Monday last, and in a few hoars raised the necessary amount, a number of the whiles contributing. At a large meeting of the colored people of that town, held on Monday, the following resolution wus proposed and unanimously adopted: Setolvfd.

C, April 27.The annual parade of the Fire Department of Charleston was to have taken place this morning at 10 o'clock. The procession was about starting, but there being a total absence of an American flag in the column, notwithstanding the great numler of all sorts of other banners, General Sickles addressed the Tost Commandant, Brevet Brigadier-General Clitz, the following letter, and ordered the column not to move until the requirements of this letter were com plied with: General: You remember the regrets we ex pressed to prominent citizens on the day of the lust firemen's parade, that the American flag was not to be Been in the column. It was then sitld to have been an Inadvertent omis sion. It Is reported to me this morning that among the various emblems borne by the several companies at the rendezvous on the ciladel parade ground, the Hag is not there. I desire that you will at once send for the Chief of the Fire Department, and Inform him that the national standard must be borne in front of the column; that an escort of honor.tr consist of two members of each company present, will be detailed by himself to march with the colors; that the colors be placed opposite the review ing peisonages on the ground designated for the review, and that every person in the column shull salute the colors by lilting his hat or cup on arriving at a point three paces distant from the colors, and, currying thecap uplifted, march past the colors to a point three paees distant from thPttame. The Mnyor of the city, the Chief of the Fire Department, and the foremen of companies will be held responsible for the observance of this order, and they are hereby authorized and re quired to arrest any person who dlsobojs it. You will take such measures as you may find to be necessary to Insure the execution of this order. Very respectfully, D. E. Sickles, Major-Gen. Commanding. To lirevet Brigadier-General H. B.

Pendleton, by invitation of the Democratic Club of Urbana, Ohio, made a political address in that city on Thursday evening last. In the course of his remarks he said: The old political system passed away in 1861, and another was adopted. Its little finger is heavier than the whole body of that which it superseded. No longer do we ask, Have we a Government? Its Argus eyes seek everywhere the accumulations of labor and capital, and its Brlarean arms are ever grasping all those eyes can see. Its vast military and naval establish ments have risen with portentous mien and overshadow the civil administrations in nearly one-half the country. There is no doubt that we have a Government a strong one strong In the number of men whom it can conscript strong In the treasure it can raise by taxation strong In Us power to Invade the rights of the States aud the liberties of the citizen strong in Its capacity to override the Constitution stroim as Rome was strong, both east and west, under the Emperors strong as France wns strong under the Reigu of Terror and the guillotine but we -k as they were weak when the Goths and Vandals avenged on the seven-hilled city the wrongs of Germans, or when the blood of the murdered Danton choked the despairing Robespierre. Alter reviewing the political history ot tne country for the past six years, he contended that the party in control of the Government, having necome revolutionists, win sun goon from one point to another, from the reconstruc tion of 1807 to the confiscation scheme of Thud deus Stevens, and from that to whatever worse the frenzy of the times may prompt, till the reaction shall come, and the people, sated and wearied, shall drive them from power, even though it be through blood, continuing, he Bald: I see among many good men a tendency to dcsplr. 1 see among my own friends a disposi tion to give up an ior lost, itiey nave tost hope, they have lost courage their despond ency counsels inaction. The newspapers, the public speeches, but above all, the private con versations. Indicate this feeling. Gentlemen, I do not sympathize with It. I have high hopes for the future. I see the dangers which are before us. I see a long and weary way. I see a long and exhausting struggle, in which sucoess will vary from the one side to the other. I do not conceal from myself that It may be a strug gle of the sword. Many of us may go down with the harness on in the midst of the fight, but hope tills my heart, and the magnitude of the prize nerves my arm. BREACH OF MARRIAGE CONTRACT. SUIT TO RECOVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR! DAMAGES. From the Cincinnati Commercial. There has been pending, for some time, in Chicago, a suit for damages in the Bum of SIOO.ihjO, on account of an alleged breach of mar riage contract, wherein Miss Amauda J. Craig, of Cincinnati, is complainant, aud Etlsha C. Sprague, of Chicago, defendant, Mr. Sprague is a man oi large wealth, ana has spareu no pains or expense in his eilbrls to make out a strong defense. For several weeks last summer he had lawyers and detectives employed in Cin cinnati and vicinity to obtain, if possible, evidence as to the lady's character that might operate aguinst her in court. We believe mat ne wus not at all successful lu this enter prise. Weare certain that he was utterly un successful in one little scheme In which he en deavored, through a female detective, to ohtalu certain assistance from a physician of Cincin nati. The case Is upon the trial caleudur of the Circuit Court of Chicago. The defendant's counsel recently came into Court to enforce a motion lor a rule upon the plaintiff and her counsel to submit to his In spection all letters written by the defendant to the compaining parly, Iu support of this motion, the defendunt states that "for along time he corresponded with said plaintiff," and that all the letters are within her control; that these letters "contain the evidence of what the plaintiff1 claims to be a marriage oontraot," and he says "that certain of said letters contain statements which, of themselves explained, might, aud deponent believes would, work greut injury and injustice to him." He also stales that certain other letters contain a full defense to the action. The motion was op posed first, upon the ground that th d- iendant, acknowledging the writing of the letters, ought to be aware of their couteuls, and by his affidavit shows that he Is uo oualnted with their purport; and seoondlv. that the affidavit does not bring the case within the legal rule which requires a specifica tion of the documents desired to be placed on view. The Court (Judge Williams) decided that this was a most unusual application, and one which he could not grant. It was, lu eileet, to ask the Court to make a rule that the plalntllT shall come into Court and develop to the opposing counsel her entire case, that she may especially enable the defendant to meet her case on its speclflo points, lieyond this, It was, in effect, asking the Court to cause to require the production of let ters which the counsel for the plaintiff may not seek to Introduce at luiv. The law presumes the writer of letters knows their contents, and If he does not copy them he Is held to remember their purport. The motion was overruled, also, on the ground that if the defendant saw the letters, and had them la his possession, they would not be evidence la hl THE FASHIONS. NEW BRIDAL C08TUME8 AND WEDDINO WREATHS DESCRIPTION OP TUB PRETTIEST SPRING DRBSBKS AND STYLES AN ELEGANT VARIETY ANOTHER GARIBALDI EUGENIE'S TOILET AT TUB 0PENIN0 OF THE EXHIBITION CONCERTS AND EQUES TRIANISM, ETC. Paris, April 12. The prevailing fashionable costume is at present the bridal wreath, robe, and veil, and tbc walk that Is enlivened by the most elegant toilets Is that narrow path between two rows ol benches leading through the nave of churches up to the altar. Gaily attired wed ding parties are daily a.wmblei in little groups round every place ol worship, cliaucW beini? the rendezvous given by tpriog in this famous year of Universal Exposition. Some of the brides are all beaming smiles, others are streaming tears; the former are told that their tuture lives will be one continued series of unbroken felicity and cloudless serenity; those who are lachrymose are told that tears are omens of plenty im mense abundance. The prettiest bride I have seen had on a white poult robe, with a very lon ttain, and uo other trim mills beyond white silk orange leaves of tue same material, olaced down the front by tos, with a bouquet of wax oranzo (lowers and bud in the middle of each two end?. The ensemb'e was like llowerbows. There were ten iroin the nock down to the ground in Iront, and two on the waist behind. The sil leaves were friusred round with white curly silk. Tue wreath was made of wax, lorming a diadem In front, under a splendid luce veil, with cordons of flowers en twined in and out of the chignon and fulling down over tbe fchoulrlcrs. The guests who followed wore plain silk in all the new shade", line of the toilets was very elppant, though only foulard; the ground was light blue, and the pattern eorgcous bees hover ing all over. Tue bonnet was marie of hoLey surkle. Another new stvle ot bonnet is the "Marguerite," or daisy. The top forms the , f i .. .. .w. t nnA 4 V. Al - tn..a m m v vi a I'Uiiin-aici , huu lia hue uunci wiurus the petals untold Into larger sizes, till the fun ction is large enough. The strings are made of tulle, dotted over with torn leaves. All bonnets are tied on behind under the chignon, and chig nons are even belli g put on higher and rounder and Hatter than ever. They are alfo bein en circled with bunds of cut jet, and all the lront hair is brought over tbe torehead, where it is cut and frizzled and looks pug-like. There is no telling where all our new spring costumes come Ironi, but they are all very fascinating. They go running about (much curtailed, by-the-way) in the most inconceivable shapes. I have counted no less than thirty differently shaped overskirts ou underplisses. Some are tied up In a bundle behind; some are drawu back tightly from the front, leaving a very flat surface, and giving otf in a slope and tail behind ; others ure looped up in fantastical folds: some are short on the sides, square in front aud pointed behind; but the prettiest and most advisable are cored widths with jet, chenille, or silk fringes round the bottom, over silk under petticoats trimmed with cluny insertions aud Garibaldis to match theee under petticoats. There ts also a new Garibaldi, made of black tulle, and dotted all over with parti coloted chenille balls, yellow, blue, red, and green. Another Uaribaldi is made of bluejsilk, worked over wiih white China beans. White high chemisettes are to have high silk mousquetaire sleeves and collars to match the skirts the; are worn wiih. Plain walking dresses, not costumes, are being very practically looped up, which is a most use lul bit of intelligence; lor if trains are graceful in drawing-rooms, they are cumbersome on the public streets, and mark a certain demi-monde style which every one docs not care to adopt. Bottoris are sewn up tbe gored seams from the hem to the middle ot the skirt; small loops con ned them, and, according to the different detrrecs of longitude a lady wishes to sail under. she can loop up a few noothes. Nothing gets crus-ned, and tue loops are easily let aown wnen a different surface ncoessitates an alteration. And now something about tbe Empress' toilet at the Exposition, home surprise has been ex pressed by all at the sombre style of her dress at the openine, as many expected to see her in a splendid robe, which she had given orders for to the usual court tailors. This robe they them selves ordered at the Compagnie Lyonnaise. as her Majesty bad desired a material exhibited at the Expositiou by the said compagnie. The latter presented a splendid straw-colored silk, brocaded with carnations in all the natural tints. The piece I held yesterday at the Ex position was of tbe same. It is the richest that ever came out of a loom. Tbe robe was made, but the Empress did not think she o.ipht to wear It, at the very lat moment. Tbe Prince was not well; she did not care lor the oocniug being a stale affair, and the carnations are laid by for another fete at the Exposition. Concerts are being forced on the public whether thev will or not, and there will be no end to tbetn before Easier. The Sunday races ut the Bois de Boulogne have recommenced, and the following are the regulations cberved in the Vie Parisienne: On leaving their homes they bend over the necks of their steeds, draw tbe reins up to their waist coats with both hands, and spur onward. Coats are fearfully short, trousers light drap, lieht violet, or light aguline. When they meet a lady in her barouche they start up straiaht on their spurs and wave their hats in a perpendicular line over their middle partings; but should tbey meet a gentleman friend, they are content to knock the rims of their hats with their short riding sticks. As they ride before their respec tive clubs they make their quadrupeds rear tremendously, and keep on till some one exclaims, "Tbat young fellow will break his reck one of these dajs," which prediction satis fies their vanity. When the races are over a phaeton is in readi ness at the end of some open avenue, into which the lions of la jeune France spring, taking the reins from the mo-t transparent of small boys, known as "tigers " A triumphant whirl down the Cbamps Ely sees, between hedges ot spec tators, who all admire tbe young drivers' feats, and wonder how these slim tigers can hold on, so excites the owners of phaeton and high stepping grey that when they lump off their scats they fancy they are Americans or English, and pompously order the tieer to "come back at seven," in excruciating British vernacular. Tbe clothing department is progressiu very fast at the Champ de Mars, but it is far from complete, and It is wise not to expatiate on that subject before some method can be followed in a lai'hiou writer's perambulations. One tbinr it is to admire a rch texture, aud another to compare the dltiprent processes of different nations be ore the texture is manufactured. Anulvsls may be prosy, but without analysis one cud scarcely draw safe conclusions. Conveutlou of Manufacturers. A circular signed bytlft y ol theleudlnir manu facturers of New York, Philadelphia.

The anxiously expected pugilistic event, the prize fight for 400 ster ling and the champion's belt of .England, which was to have taken place to-day, be tween Joe Wormald and Ned O'Baldwin, the "Irish giant," has not come oil. The men did not meet, and, consequently, there has not been a battle. O'Baldwin was not present this morning at the place appointed, which had been duly made known to him from the proper quarter in seasonable time. His absence is accounted for by the statements of his friends and backers to the effect that he missed the train which left London bound in the direc tion of where the ring was to have been pitched. The entire prize-ring fraternity of the city are utterly disgusted because there has not beem a fight. Wormald will be awarded the stakes, and all the bets which were pending on the issue are declared void. The championship of England and-the belt are held in abeyance. FROM WASHINGTON THIS P.

The Liberals were everywhere glorying over their victory on tbe 1st, tne repulse of the enemy on the 5th, aud the capture of Puebla. A private letter received here from Monterey says that between the 1st and 5th the besieged made three sullies, and were each time re pulsed. A report that Frirflrlo Diaz had murdered a large number of prisoners taken at Iuebln, in cluding several general officers, has reached here. It is sincerely hi ped that the United Btutes Government will Interfere to prevent these wholesale assassinations. The Monterey l'triodico OJlcial confidently predicts that April will see the termination of the present conflict In favor of the Liberal arms. We have nothing further in reference to the prouunclamento of Ascension Gomez at Tain Pico, in favor of Ortega. It is not thought that it will have any effect upon the peace of the Slate. TUE BEC0SD DEFEAT OP THE IMPERIALISTS TAM PICO FOR 0RTEOA. Letters and newspaper advices from Mexico comprise dates from Escobedo's camp in front ol uueretaro to the ttlh of April. The second re- pulse oi me imperialists, wnne attacking tne hill of Ban Gregorlo in front of the town, and tie wounding of Miramon In both legs, Is con fil med. It is believed the lutter's wouuds will piove mortal, and Maximilian is saddened at theexpected loss of one of his most able gene rsls. The Monterey l'eriodico Ojleiul says the wir will be ended in April In favor of the Libe rals. Despatches from Porflrlo Diaz, dated April 2, and received at Matamoras.conllrtn the cspture of Puebla. The troops at Tauiploo re ft. sed to reinforce Escobedo according to his older, for the reason that a gunboat flotilla be lt nging to the French was fitting out at Vera Cruz to attiick Tampico. The citizens of the Is iter place are lu favor of Ortega, but have not pronounced for him, as they believe there Is no chance of his success. Gomez and Canales have possession of the town for the purpose of receiving tbecustoms revenue. The messenger sent to Juarez by Minister Campbell with the intercession of the United Btates for Maxi milian's safety, was warned at Matamnras to avoid Tampico, on account of the presence there of Canales. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. COUET OF OYER AND TERMINER Judges Pierce and Brewsier. William B. Munu, District Attorney: T. Br nil lord Dwigbt, Assistant District Attorney. The April Beseluus of tbe Court ot Oyer and Terminer commenced this morning, A large aesemhlHge of people, an Is tisutl on such occasions, crowded the Court House to learn the minute details of the homicide cases. George N. Kerns and John T. McCormtck, charged with killing Henry Uartman on the 8th of September, lWid, were analeneil, and pleud not guilty, John U'Toohul. charged with killing John Murray nn the 2&ln of Deceiubwr, lSGti, was arraigned and plead not guilty. Tbe Urauil Jury entered t this point and presented a bill. Mr. Munu said: May It please tbe Court, the Grand Jury have tin Burning brought la a bill ot Indictment against George Whinemore, charged with I lie murder of Dorcas tiagllton. The prisouer li In tbe di ck, and I ask now tliut the bill may be read to bim. Id order that he may be arraigned and asked to plead to this bill of Indictment,. Tbe bill was then read to the prisoner, ana be p.ead not guilty. Mr. Mann sulil: Mny It please tne Court, I have directed tbe witnesses In this case to be in Court, and the Commonwealth Is now ready to proceed to the trial of this cause. Our preparations are all made. I presume that proper time will be allowed the prisoner to make all the preparation be desires io make tor trial, and lor the purpose of having a speedy trial fixed, I desire that the time be now assigned by the Court, and I would name Wednesday morning. The otlicers of the Court are at his command, and he can suggest the names of ally witnesses be desires, and they will be brought Into Court, and he can try his esse. There Is no reason why, whh tbe aid of the Court, be Bbould not be able to prepare his de fense aud get ready for trial at the same time the Commonwealth can prepare to try its case in, 'J he Bame machinery Is at his command. All tbe otlicers of this Court and the police oilicers of the city are at his coDitnand, to obtain any witnesses that he may de sire, and I am confident that Mr. Lamou, the chief ot the detectives, and the ollicers around the Mayor's otlice, will furnish whatever is necessary iu the way of otlicers and attention to procure tbe per bcius of whomsoever he may desire upon his trial: and while we have all tbat machlnery.'itcau liol be better employed than to prepare atriitl like this. All that he wishes, and ail that cau be done tor bis family wil be done for him. I have no doubt be will be prepared to try tbe case on Wednesday morning. Dnj inon T. K ilgore, Esq , counsel tor defeuse, said: May It please the Court, I think the District Attorney has rather overstated the matter, when be states I bat all cau be done by Wednesday morning. I have never seen him (tbe prisoner) until this mnrnluc. and I. now but very little ot the case. lain satisfied that l e cannot be tried at present with safety to himself und to tbe cause of Justice, It is not true that he has all the power at his com mand that tbe Commonwealth has at her commaud. Jn the first place, the Commonwealth has a lawyer as her representative of twenty years' experience, who understands all the Intricacies of a trial, aud he cau prepare a case with all the machinery at his com mand at once. It Is Dot so with me. This wonld be the first case of Importance In which f ever engaged as counsel, and I am satisfied thai before this case shall be through, you will be satisfied Ills one of tbe most Important cases tbat bas been tried lu this Court, I ask, not for myelf, for I am wllliug to do tbe best I can by day and by night, that the case be postponed, so that, I shall have a fair opportunity for doing lor hhu what 1 thlDK ought to be aone. I am certain tbat I cannot do myself justice In tbe rase I cannot do what f mlglit otherwise do, If I bad no time for preparation: therefore I ask tbat tbe case may be continued. 1 do not see wby it should be tried this term. Tbe dock 1b full of persons from day to day charged with the same ofl'ense, ana why should he be singled out. and be brought up as tbe Orat case, without ex perienced counsel, w ithout any preparation, X think that the cause ol Justice will be advanced by having those who are chanted with the same crime com mitted bitberto, tried tlrst. I ask, therefore, that the esse be continued. M r. Mann There is a slight error In the suggestion or tbe counsel about the trial ot persons. There Is uo person to be tried for cutting an old lady's throat for H. If ihere was, I would give it precedence. p Judge Brewsier Tbe order In which criminal busi ness shall be tried Is entirely within tbe control ot the District Attorney, aud the easels to be tried at any (lay or hour that he sees tit. If counsel moves for a continuance, and there is no ground therefor, the motion in of course not considered If the District Attorney informs the counsel ibut this case will be tried ou Wednesday morning, the same rule will be adhered to In this case which is applied to all other cases. Mr, Kilgore If your Honors please. If the case Is to be tried this term, I would ask that It be postponed a week. Jude Brewster The term expires with this week. The witnesses In the case were then Instructed to oe Id Court on Wednesday morning at lo o'clock. THK CKOZIEU HGM1CIDU.
