Gladstone said in the House that it was unprecedented for a Ministry beaten by seventy-five majority to think of dissolving Parussent. The Premier's course waa uncons?-' | tu tiona!, the House was hostile to the Ministry, and'the duty of the Lib?rala was clearly to fol low sp their resolves by action; they must go on. , [Cheers.] They had so bargains to make.

THE FUTURE OF SOUTH CAROLIN'A. A REPUBLICAK'e COMMENTS UPON MEN ANS TRINOS . IN SOUTH CAROLINA T7NDEB THE NEW BEglMl THE POLICY Off GOVERNOR SCOTT-THE HEW REPRESENTATIVE OF CHARLESTON TN CONGRESS. A correspondent of the Kew York Times (who, from the tone of his letter, is evidently a Re? publican) writes from Charleston under date of April 24, giving his views rather freely con? cerning men and politics in the Palmetto State. After noting the completeness of the Republi? can triumph at the recent election, he proceeds lo say:' - Yet the election is far from satisfactory. Its results as to principles is aD that true patriots can ask, bnt in important respects it falls short of what was expected by the friends -of true reconstruction. Not m every case has sufficient respect been paid to the com? monest honesty, and it most be said and -known that in this first great election by the new nation the scheming of the politicians out? generaled the virtue of the people. These re? maras should not apply to General Scott-the governor elect for the State of South Carolina. His record is good? and he doubtless is what bo reputes to be-a plain, straightforward, honest soldier. Sensibleof the delicacy of his trust, and trembling beneath the weight of re? sponsibility now laid upon him, he goes for? ward with anxiety, and is frank enough to fear that he is not in the highest respect the man to lead South Carolina back to her place. Bnt .genuine modesty after all generally guards the way to real ability., and we can anora! to wait. 'Governor Scott will employ his whole energy in the work, and as it is well known that he is hot extreme in hu views Or disposition, bnt judiciously the contrary, it is fair to presume that, ring-masters aside, the whole people will rally to hi 8 standard, and reconstruction will begin/ One thing your correspondent knows he will not please the extremists, and must not be classed with the Butler, Stevens and Sum? ner lotion, bnt he will use his hard Western cense where they would resort to fine theories, and establish order where thej would pursue experiment. Let Governor Scott go forward with his work, determined to bury the pest, arid bring divorced elements together by uniting eympa thyfoT the fallen with -justice 'for all,.and, though not a statesman, he will succeed in the highest efforts of statesmanship, and place South Carolina within the fraternal embrace of the Constitution of the United States, and re? store her to the confidence and pride of the world. To do this it is not necessary for him to cry. Radicalism, and throw dally taunts of the worst party spirit into the teeth of the van? quished. He will not find it in bis line of duty io pursae the flagrant wrong of reminding the enfranchised blacks of then* supremacy,' and their mastership over those who once proud? ly lorded it over them. He will not find it compatible with public interest to out? rage every feeling of manliness by every day shaking; the broken chains which so chafed and galled them in their servitude, thus arous? ing their forgotten hatred for their helpless masters of the former age. as so many extreme measure men are doing here to-day, as your correspondent can testify, having heard and ?seen. Such a course, here deprecated and condemned, can -have bnt one tendency, name? ly-to inaugurate what many predict, because thev desire a war of classes, which would be simply exteimrnation of one.. If Governor ; Seo tt h as a policy, it is one of humanity-broad, ; true, catholic, humanity-within the spirit of the Constitution of the State and of the United States. Let him, .therefore, be encouraged and upheld, and let him not fear the noun dinga of partisans or the threats.of factious. The : country will find that your correspondent has ! not mismeasured this man, or drawn a false portrait. Gerv Scott is respected here, for the qualities we have named, by all classes. ' The i chief rebels soften in their respect for him, i while they know him "to bc firm and unflinch? ing, and the blacks ate enthusiastic in his praise, for he reminds them constantly of him who "with charity, for all and malice toward none," signed theppbclamation which shivered Uiah hum* WSIm^^*?* ^s***-5**T ' The representative elect to Congress from the Second District, (which includes this city,) is a Mr. C. C. Bowen, ot whom yon have doubtless heard something. How Mr. Bowen can take the oath remains to be seen. One thing seems to be conceded here on all sides, namely, that his nomination was iniquitous, and his election can bring nothing but mischief to the people ?hose interests he seems anxious to take charge of. Not gifted, but bold; not discreet, but voluble; not learned, bnt swag? gering; not particular, but ambitious; not black, bat comely-this Georgia Confederate Captain Wormed himself into the ring, into the conven? tion, into the nominating mouth and over tbe heads of worthy men into the saddle for a seat in Washington, and by the will of reconetruct ea South Carolina is declared the choice for the same. He who was cashiered in the rebel service for misconduct is accounted worthy to sit in Washington, the first representative of reconstructed South Carolina, from the proud City of Charleston I Well, justice to whom jus? tice, and charity to whom charity is due-but this man was not, is not the choice of the peo? ple, and it is hoped that the Congress, so ready to impeach a President for high crimes and misdemeanors, will prevent this man from adding insult to injury, j The remainder of the letter is devoted to an eulogy upon the career and qualifications of the Secretary of State elect.

JO-BITTERS.-THE HUMAN STOMACH seems to require a tonic stimulant From the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the con? trary, tonic bitters have been used. Formerly men made their own bitters, and few thought of eating breakfast without first taking their "tansy." Those were days, however, when prohibitory laws were un? known, and, in consequence, liquors were pure. Dealers could then afford to be honest and eel! noth? ing but the unadulterated. Now, however, what with government tax and court fines, pokeberry juice and alcohol must pass muster for "old rye " and "pure bourbon." People have come to fear poisoning more than m tl sri*1 diseases and dropped their "tansy." Bight here is where HOBTETTEB S SMITH, of Pittsburg, have provea benefactors. Years ago they commenced the manufacture of HOS TETTERS STOMACH BITTERS, laying it down as a rule that has since been conscientiously followed, to USP nothing but the purest liquors, manufactured expressly for them. By strict adherent ; to this rule they have won public confide Lice and reaped their reward to a large, profitable and steady business. Their BITTERS is known aU over the country. They are pioneers of the business, and have the lar? gest manufactory in the world. Nor bis success in their case, as m tao many instances, rendered them careless; their Bitters is as pure and good to-day as was the first distillation. We heartily recommend them as a tonic. As a specific for dyspepsia, biliousness, consti? pation, nervousness, general debility, and remittent and intermittent fevers, its efficacy has nev<r been questioned. There are many worthless imitations; we earnestly caution the public against them. May 2 6 I Special Wires.
