I'ltKslDKNT AND ti ENTLEMKS : I had not, ami have imt now, any intention to argue this case. I never liea.d the b jcciions, nor knew what I hey wer , tiulil they cie read in yottr presence litis moiii ing. It wiiuld be piesuinptioii in me to atttstiipt an aig'iment Ix fote a 1 1 ibunp.l like this on Mich a case as (his, having had no previous opportunity lo consider it which might put me in a condit ion beitei llian the judgets ihenirielves. Vttti have lifaid aa inuch of t his case and know an much about it as I do. My idea of the duty which a counsellor owes lit a coin t or to any ' Oilier ti ibunal, judicial or fu.i-jodicial, is that be should never open his moot Ii except for the pui poe if assihting ihe judgea in coming lo a cor rect conclusion 1 MirrXTfrir 4-nr. Kiln. alioii lo do that, he oimhl to keep silence. Besides that, I am, 1 supptise, the very last man in-this -Ahole nation who should he called upon to speak here and now. EvoiAlxaiy has snlleied more or less by events and proceedings of the recent past, some by wear and tear of conscience ami some by a d t p sense of ttj-picsioii and wrong, tint peril dps I, mie than mont others, have felt the consciousness (hat I have lo-d. the dignity of an Ameiinan citi zen. I, in common with the test, am de giaded and humiliated. This nation has ooi her great bio loot in a I tap. ll is vain to ! i no-.' le f.cher extrication. 1 am so fallen from the proud es'ate of a free citizen, y.u have so abjVcted me that I am tit I'o i mdliiiig on earth but to repie soiit the poor, lt fr.iuiieil, tuoketi beailed DeitiiiCiHcy. Ami because I suiter mote, they think me more g o I for nothing than Ihe irst. and ci-neiuile lo send me out on this f .il. in l.opc, ju.lging. no doubt truly, that it matters nothing what la-comes of me. I nuohi togool.tdy if anything which I can do or say tniohl have ihe -tl'cct of mitigating t be hoi i idle calamity w ii h v hich Ihe country i t hreaieoetl, a I'ri-snleu' de living his I ii le fcotil a shamelcsH swinrile, not merely a fraud, but a fiaud delected And exsctl. I know not how I would feel if called upon tnsn tf.-i deal h for my couiilrv . I am not I he .-toff that mailyiHtne mioie. f, but if my lilecouid ledeetu ibis nation from the infamy with ninth she is clothed, I ought So go to the grave as fieely as I ever went to my bed. I see, however, no prac tical good that I cm tlo, and it is mere weakness lo complain. We have certain object ions to t he count ing of this Hayes vole fioiti South Catoliua whicb look to me insuperable, but I cannot hope that they will weal that ptear:iuce in ol her men's ees. l'eibapa the feeling which 1 in common w itli millions of others entertain on this si lj ct, pn v-iits us limn seeing litis thing in its Hue light. Hut you are a ise ; you are calm. You can look all through Ibis awful business with a learned spiiit ; no passionate halted of this great fiand can cloud your mental vision or shake Ihe even balance of your judgment. You do not think it any wrong that A na.ioti should be cheated by false election returns. On I be contrary,, it.it lalber a blessing which Heaven has sent us in this strange diFguise. When the omnipotent lie shall be throned and sceptered and crowned, you think we ought nil ;f us lo fall down and worship it as Ihe hope of our nilitical sal vation. You will leacli tit and perhaps we w ill learn (pel haps not) that uiidei such a inle we are better off than if tiuih had pie vailed ai.d justice been tiiim) bant. Give, then, your cool cousidei al ion to Ihese object ions, and try them by the slan tlaid of Ihe law . I mean ibe law as it a-as befoie Ihe ol ganizal ion of Ibis commisr-iou. I admit that since then a great, levolutiou liaslaketi place mi the law. ll is r.oi now wloit it ued lo be. AM our notions of public right ami public wrong have sulTeied a coumk'te bnu.lene?ement. The "tpiestion mi but it led to you is whe. her the i-isons who gave il e voles weie duly appointed." Duly, of course, means accoidiug to law. What law? Tlie (J m slitutioiiof the United Slates, tlie acta f Coi'giess passed in puiMianco thereof, the Const iMiJion of South Caroliti'. and the authotized acts f her Legislature these, taken nil together, constitute the law of the case liefoie you. Hy these laws the rigid, duty, and ower f appointing eleclora is given l. the people ' if South Carolina ; thai is to say, the cili zetis of Ihe Slate qnalilied to vide at general f elections. Who are they ? BytheConsii j tutioii of the Slale in older toqualify ihem las voters they must be registeied. The ' registry of a native citizen is a sine qua non to his right of voiiug as much as the nat tiializaliotitif a foreigner. Now, tho I-gislatuie never passed any law for the legistialion of voters, and no i eg isi i at ion f them was ever made. N doubt has been or can be teitaitied that ihe object and ru,Pk tiii otuifciioa fralulent and dishonest ; ftr the Legisla tuie as well as rhe Executive Depaitment of that Giiveruiuetit has heeti tn the hands of ihe most reilemptiouless iogties on the face l t e eaith. But whatever may have been Ihe motive, nobody can doubt tha! the le;Hl t-tf ct of t his tun isttiou w lo make the elect ion illegal. ' ; Th l is haidlj the worst of If. The elec tion itself, emancipated fioni all law and ail authority, was no lieiter than a riot, n mob, a geneial sat ni tia lia, 'tu which the s ldiersof the United Slatcsaimy cut the pt incipal as well as the ih eentesl tiguie. Wr tiffer t prove the titferwill go upon record, ami theie it v ill si a ml Toiwer that every sdl iu'Cbai lestoti coutt'y. where '.bey lushed into Ihe ballot bx "7.000 majority, was in MssesMon of the soldiers. A liovei iitnent w hose elect ions are con trolled by military force cannot be republi can in form or sniislance. ifor this I cite the authority of Luther vs. Borden, if per ch nice the old-lime law has'yef any inrlu enoe. Do u not see the hjdeous dep'h of national degradation intojaliich you will plunge us if yon sanctify this mode ol mak ing a Piesideiil? Biuh up your histori Cal memory and think of it for a moment. The man whom you elect iij this way is as purely the creature of the .military .ower as Caligula or Dotiiitiau, for whom the pre toriau guaids coutitdled tloi hustings and counted the voles. But then we cannot get behind the re turns, fors'Hdh! Not we l" You will not Ictus. We cannot get Ix'hn.d I hem. No. That is the law, of com se. We may strug gle for justice ; we may cry for meicy ; we may go down on our knees, and beg and woo for some little it-cognition of our I ighls as American cit izens ; but we might as well put up our praytrs to Jupiter, oi Mais, as b''ii'g suil in the court wheie lthadamaii thus presides. Theie is not a god on Oly m pus that wouhl not listen to us with more feivor than we shall lie he.'iid by our adver saries. We are at Iheir mercy ; it is only to them '.hat e can appeal, because you, gentlemen, uufoi tuiialely cannot help us. You are bound by the new law which you have made. Yu aie of Course addicted like other eople to Ihe vice of consistency, and what s done once in uat be done over again. ; In the Louisiana case the people ap pointed el' dors in favor of Tildeu, recoided their art, fiiisheci it, and left their woik in such a state that iioImnI could misunder stand it. But other jk-imsis, who had no power to appoint, falsilied the iccoid of the actual appointment, paillyby plain forgery and paillv by fraud whtcli was as coriupt in morals and as void in law as any forgery could lie. You thought iflight and legal ami just to say that you would not look at ilia, tivceiM-d licU I he-fwiiie had IliadeJ the forgeiy. the fraud, and the coritudiou weie loo sacred lo be interl'fted with ; the tinth must, nut he nllow'cd to come in con ll:cl witli the imposture, lest the concussion might be tlamaging. This precedent niusl be followed. It is new law, to be sure, but we must give it due welcome; and the new lords that it biiugs into power must be legarded as our '"very noble and approved good masters." Having decided that electors were duly ap pointed in Loui-iaua who were known not to be appointed we cannot expect you lo take notice of any fact similar or kindred to it in South Carolina. Then, again, the question tif "duly ap pointed" w as tleculetl lu the case of Levisee, an elector who was an ofticei of Ihe United Stales tiovei inuei.t at the tune he was a Min;eil, ami continued to be afleiwaid. The Federal Constitution says that no man shall Ik? appointed Alio is in thai relation to the Fedeial Government. But you held, according to law, mind u, that he was a law lul elector and his vote a gwd vole, (n other wo.ds, a thing is perfectly cousti lutional ah liough it is ktK.wn to be in the very teeth of A constitutional interdict. Now you see why we are hopeless. The present state of Ihe l;;w is sadly against us. i lie Ii lends of honest elect ions and honest government are m deep despair. We once thought that the veti1yi"g power of the two 1 louses of Congress ought lo be brought alwas into lequisiiion for Ihe puijiose of seeing whelhui ihe thing that is brought heie is forgery ami a fi aud on I he one hand, or whether H is a genuine and true ceil id eate on the other. But white we cannot, ask you to go back lie hi i ol this, cert ilicale, will you just please to go lo it only to H not step behind. I f you tlo, you will tiud that it is no cert ilicale at ail such as is requlit d by l.,w. I he ceililicale tlm-H not show that eilhei of those icquiteiueiits was mel ; ai.d wheie a paity isexeicising a special authority like this they must keep strictly wiihiu it, and yon are not to presume anything except what appears on the face of their act to he done. If anybody will cast back his mind a little into the history of President ial elect ions or look at the debates of less liiau.a year ago, he w'.ll temember that Mr. Jelferson was charged w heu he was Vice President of llio United Stales with having elected himself by nivalin of, not a fiaudulcut, but a meie- ly iufoinial vole s-nt up Ii Georgia. '1 he inloi mality was not in ihe ccrulicate inside of the envelope, but in the outside vei ilicai ion. Mi. Matthew C. Davis, in got up that story.

It appears, wi ites a tourist, that in Sheila ml t he great est numherof marriagisaie be I ween youths of nineteen and maidsof thirty-two. When ever a young man can act his part in the manning of a Is tat be has anived at the height of his ambition, and therefore there is no wonder at hia many ing eaily ; but why be pitches oil an old maid instead of a young girl is not so easily accotitiled for, unless it lie that the young men have a peculiar affection for old maids, as old men have a K-culiar affection for young gills. However, in no country is a lover so faith ful to his mistress as in She land I never heard of a Shetland sailor who was guilty of a breach of promise although he should bo absent for ten years. Not only docs he not break his engagement, but never fails lo write to his beloved one in efTusions of the most endearing nature, always iM'gin niug or ending his epistle with "My Pet." "My Jewel," "My Watch," or "My Dia mond." Years before the celt brat ion of the mairiage the woman is by no means slack in telling all hei neighbors of the particulars of the engagement., and of the year, and of the mouth, anil of the d;'V, and of t he Intui w henil is to le celebrated. It is no uncommon I hing for neigh bois w ho have not been invited to the mat i iage lo dress in disguise aud participate in the festivities r the evening. The u.-ual way they dis guise themselves is by rolling the body up in a siiaw rope ami blackening the face. These maskers have UMially all the piivi leges of invited guests, and are treated with great civility. At the end of every dance every man must kiss his female pait uer. Some! lines the men dance by them selves, as the women cannot hold out. to such long ami fuiious exercise; and when they ll'iish Iheir dance they do not kiss, but they hug each other lo such a degree as to cause disgust lo those who have been unaccustomed to such a habit.

THE FLUTIST'S DOG. About the period of the vr of Mazarin, theie livid a ir beggar, of the name f Sulpice. Lean aud sc.aggy, as ugly as a Quasimedo, aud shaped like' a Z, he pos sested but a d"g for' his companion, and a lluie as only means of subsi.stauce. But his talent upon that itisti utnent was sticli that he could uitract by its )ntkdiops Hounds those whom his uufoi tsiinie phy siognomy repulsed. ; They say that beggai-s at thifTpci lod had no dislike lo a glass of wine in the C"iue of theii wandeiing.- Beside everybody fre quented the tavern. Times are very much ctiauged. To day cveiy one goes to the coifee-house. On a ccitaiu day Sulpice entered a tavern ; he ate enough for lour, and drank sufficient for ten, and then rolled under Ihe table, and slept by the side of his dog. An amateur, who was seated at one of I he adjoining tables, took advantage of his sleep, robbed him of his llu'e. ami went out without any one discuveiing the theft. . When Sulpice awoke, his first movement was to seaicti for his flute, which, on mote than one occasion, had assisted to pay his reckoning. In vain he fumbled in his pockets, the inst i ument, had li;t pjieaied. How to express the shock the constetua tioii of the jmmu- beggar! This lhite was his all his tieastire ; it was excellent in tone, ami of pcit'ect woikmanship; besides, he had possessed it for more than twenty years 1 What a dreadful blow for oor Sulpice. Desolation was depicted in very feature ; a cold pel spira'-ion trickled down his face. To no put pose did he question the barkeeper, wallets and customers ; they all siuuggtd their shouldeis. The imor little fellow then made an infernal noise ; be cried, swoie, raved, ami over-turned ihe tables and chaos, but no one could give him back his flute ; ami they even lineal entd to call in the tolice to put an end to the uproar. Sulpice piefeued paying his reckoning and departed, his eyes swollen wuh team, and his heart burning with age. Who has not heard of the admirable in stinct of dns? Theie have been frequent examples of their cunning scent; bill the aculeness of their healing has seldom been put to the test. Sulpice was aheady a good distance from the I a Vein, when, on turning a street, be saw bis dog wag his tail nod raise his ears, like a pointer on the track of a partiidge; next he placed himself befoie his master, bounding up joyfully aud impat ieiit to go forward. Suu pice, w no, at this moment, was in no caress ing humor, hastily repulsed, and even beat him. The dog, nowise quieted by beat ing, continued to maticeuvre with uiJfcr etn a. tempts. His matei in his atlouil -tt-tt, ktitw not t what cause to aitubute this xtiaiige obstinacy. He stitod still, lost in deep thought, when l.e heaitl behind him the sound of a flute.- His he.nl beat violently, and a restless curiosity took po.v scssion of hi miml; he it-ceded a few p.tces, aul his dog ougau to point again, redoubling his efforts, since he had, at last been umlcistood. He ran befoie, showing the way, aud slopped balking in fiout oi a i house, fioin whence proceeded the melodi I ous sounds. The beggar listened atlcut ive ! ly, his surmises gaining strength eveiy in btaut ; soon his doubts were changed tu i conviction. I "Shall I enter?" he asked of himself, j He went in ; his dog, animated with ' zeal, aud bounding with joy. ran before his , master, ami scratching at the door of the unknown musician. He, heai ing the noise, came to open toe door himself, holding the ! flute in his hal.d. "Holy Virgin ! 'tis my flute," exclaimed i Sulpice, transported wilh fury. ".My name j is eugiaven on it." I Nor was he deceived. The unknown , could not deny Ihe fact-, or offer a single I woid in just ilicaiion. He was a devoted I amateur, jealous of ihe leputation of Su 1 pice. In lobbing him of his iustiumt ut, i lie thought to deprive him likewise of his skill. Humbled and coiilus.d be slam . meieil out some inaudible woitis of apology . aud restored Ihe flute without any dillicul- ly. Poor Sulpice, scarcely crediting such , unhoped-for good luck, asked not hing ' further, but lapidlv descended the steps, ami departed, like Saiul li 'tk, with his dog.

A facsimile of the original apostolic, musical aud astiomnnical clock in the Sti as burg cathedral, a curious and woudetful piece of mechanism, celebrated the woild over, was ojeued for exhibition at llorti--. cultural t lower) Hall yesterday.

I Abo'-e this is another section, vt ith a dial i twenty-two inches in diameter, on which j is it presented on the outer c'icle the mm- 1 a m uies ami noma m the usual manner.

The top section is in the form of a Gothic ch.ijM 1. wi;h a small door on either side, and a huge one over a star in front in the centre, with a balcony over ceutie, and spires tx tending up either side. At eveiy half hour is heard the ringing of the bell, and t he door of the kevsume opens, showing the figure of Death, fol lowed by the music of an organ. Three minutes after a chime of twenty bells is heard, when liom ihe light door of the chapel the disciples come out in piort-ssioti, while the ceiitie dr opens and ihe Saviour comes in sight. As the disciples reach him they paiiM one by one turn their fuctsto waids him and bow, except Peter, which is the cential tiguie.

An East Pledge. Of course almost every one has hc.nd of the New England farmer who signed the pledge, with the lew i v. a ion that l.e mighi diink all he wanted to while he washed his sheep; ud how he kept it two or tlnve months, a id then got diut.k in the middle of January. A lumber taxed him with breaking Hie pb-dge, wheieupon the fanner led Lim to Ihe bam, and iiuting to a shivei in-", diip ping, old ram, remarked : "I've (hie) washed the old (hie) felier eight linns (hie) already this momii, m,d I ain't d ne a wa.-hin of him yet !" A jour printer in Pittsbuigh is equally as ingenious in keeping the let lei of his pledge. The great Murphy excitement there has been gatheiing in signers by Ihe thousand and he was "scoo;d" along with others. The "pledges" are printed on neat caids," so that the signers can put them in their wallets after attaching their signatures. The night on which Hughes signed was a crowded one. and jien and ink not beine; handy, Hughes subset ibed his name in 1-eucil. Foi a week or I wo I, e observed the pledge leligiouslv. but one night a brewer sent a half barrel of beer to the foreman to treat the "comps."

At length he asketF if it was good beer, ant! was informed that it was a prime article. He pulled out his pledge and looked at it fixedly. An idea struck him, nnd he whistled a bar of oiiera ju-t ab "VP his breath. Hunting up a piece of rubber, he racily erased his name, ami th-n i lined at d drank his share nf ti.
