The special object of this card is to call a meet ing of the ticket-holders at Public Libnuy Hall, on tho 20th of November, to make arramgeinelite in connection with the committee apinduted by the Trustees to superintend the counting of the* tags representing tho number of tickets sold. While there is no actual necessity for the presence of ticket-holders, as under «>ur arrangements, the in terests of all are equally cared l<»r, yet, at the same time, I would greatly pteft-r that as many of those interested as can, would attend this meeting, and ja-e, each for himself, how perfectly fair aud im partial the disttihiitioti must he.

Congressman Rainey’s Suctes- soh.—A strange turn in the remarka ble. |HtliliciiI title has thrown to the sur face a colored Democratic member of CongreM frtmi Sonth Carolina. It seems that Roincv, the present Republi can member front that State, brought to Washington a colored man named Ijcc, whom he hail appointed oa the Capitol police. When Rainey was renominated this summer he sent for Lee to come to South Caroliua and help him among his colored friends. Lee went down, looked over the situation, saw the dissatisfaction existing among his owu perple, and, derided to run against Rainey. The Democrats took him up and elected him. It will now lie in ordcs for Lee to get Kaincv a place on the Capita^ jutlicc force. Politics, Neius, &c. Stamp on Checks.
