POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Whig Convention at Richmond, Virginia,
last week, nominated the Hon. William l.. Cog
gin, formerly Il member of Congress, for the Of
fee of Governor The Convention also nomi-
mated Mailman p. Wiley, of Monongalia, for
Lieutenant Governor, and Walter Reston, of
Washington, for Attorney General. Mr.. Bolts
made long speech, in which he foreshadowed
the ground he will take in his address at the
Academy of Music, at New York, on the Old
namely, coalition ofal opposition parties, North
and South, in the next Presidential campaign,
to defeat the Democracy. Mr.. Bolts was loudly
cheered during his speech. The Convention is
still in session.
Mr. Stephens, Of Georgia, denies that he de-
sires to succeed Mr.. lyerson in the Senate. He
intends to Withdraw entirely from public service
for the rest of his life and says he prefers seat
in the House to any other position in the Gov
eminent.
Judge John Robertson, in one of his late es-
saws in the Richmona Enquirer declares that
the innovating spirit of the Federal authorities,
at this day, more perhaps than at any other pc
riod since the foundation of the Government,
seem to menace radical change of its repub-
lican features. He argues boldly against the
right to purchase Cuba.
PUBLIC EXPENDITUREs.-Wh When Senator Crit
tenden made an exposure in reference to the
extravagant expenditures of the Government,
shortly after the adjournment of Congress, last
summer, the adherents of the Administration,
with one voice, denied the allegation. But now
| the fact OF extravaganza stands confessed, and
the unanimous cry is for retrenchment and re-
form. Mr.. Garnett, of Virginia, stated, last
week, in the House of Representatives, that the
expenses of the Legislative department were at
this time S3,500,000, when six years ago they
were only $l,25O,0OO. The Washington States
says
Everybody-Whig, Democrat, Free Trader
and Observation-Disclosures that the expenditures
of Government are exorbtant beyond endu-
rance"
The Richmond Examiner says
"The Treasury is empty, our expenses are
double the revenue Of the Government, and we
are borrowing from twenty to thirty millions of
dollars to meet the existing deficit The GUS
toms are yielding only forty millions Of dollars
per annum whilst the necessary expenditures
of the Government are nearly eighty millions of
dollars"
Well may the Examiner say, also, ave are
now standing upon the brink of the very preci,
pice from which Van Buren, was hurled in
| 1910. '-,StduEtOR Spectator

posed it. In the affirmative it was urged that
the Constitution of the proposed new State was
republican in form, and regularly adopted that
the matter Of suffrage was exclusively within
the control of the State that ths Republicans,
after opposing the English restriction" could
not consistently require its application to Ore,
gon that if admission were delayed, there would
be danger of the introduction Of Slavery into
the Territory; that the restriction as to popula-
ton ought not to apply, inasmuSh as the Con-
gressonal enabling act ante dated that restric-
ton; and that, even if the restriction were APP
piled, the population now, probably exceeded
the requisite number. On the other hand, it
was maintained that the population was insult
ficient for State, and that spall number
ought not to be permitted to form a Constitu-
tion for the future inhabitants; that the provis-
ions of the enabling act had been violated in
giving aliens a right to vote that Oregon would
not suffer by remaining still longer; that the
provisions in relation to free people of color were
unjust, inhuman, and unconstitutional.

TIE HANDLING OF RAILWAY BAGGAGE
Can any one tell us why railway baggage
mas ters and their assistants should not han
die the baggage of passengers with as much
care as is exercised by porters and draymen
on the streets We should really like 10 know
by what law, or right. or dispensation, these
strong armed Nheips' of the railway depot,
ACQUIRE Il patent for smashing up the travel
ing trunk of some unofiending passenger, and
spilling its contents on the ground or flooi,
without they or the company being held re-
sponsibIe for the damage! We do not believe
ia the immunity with which these gentlemen
solace themselves for this kind of acciden is;
and we should very much like to have case
properly tried before the Courts, and should
have no objection to being called as a witness
to give evidence upon the prevailing smashing
custom. and should not more object to being a
Juror to help render verdict of damages

GREAT FAMILIES are the boast of the aristo
crats of Europe. Some OF our American great
families however, seem to eclipse them en-
tirely. Ia Kentucky, at the Gibson county
Fair, quite novel exhibition of one of these
great families was made. The Clarion thus
describes it:
About 3 o'crk Mr.. Step'n NJ eade and his wife
entered the ring followed by their twelve SONS
and two daughters, each on fine gray steed,
and in the order of their ages. They proceeded
around the ring. while the band struck up
Hail CoiuWba, and drew up in front OF the
executive, when the president made some very
appropriate remarks, after which the man.
moth family was vociferously cheered from
one side OF the grounds to the other. We givea
brief statement Ut this tanilv: The old gentle
man was born in 1888, and .lme TO this coun-
try in 1919. Mrs. Meade wa-s born in lsi3.-
The TWO Were married in 1921. The eldest son
is 81 years old, and the youngest IA The cider
daughter is -. and the younger II. Eleven
are married, and have - child ren. The four
teen children OF Mr.. Meade were all born in
Gibson county, and all now live here but one,
and are the best of citizens. None of the fam
lily have died. and all now look hale and
hearty.

MORALS IN TExAs.-Judge Buckley, in a re-
Court of Galveston, presented a most deplor;-
BILE state of morals in Texas. Among other
things, he said there was no other country in
habiied by the Angio-Saxon race, in which
there was SO little regard to law and order as
In Texas, and continued:
During the four years that have been on the
bench. there have been between so and GU cases
of murder before me; !; and if in each of tho IL
judicial districts in the State there has been a
like number, then there has ieen upward OF
6g0 eases of murder in four years, showing
state OF things unequaled ia any country !;
and that OF these 600 cases, no. six OF them had
been found guilty by the jury before whom
they were tried. /. is not pc ssible 10 suppose
that in all these cases, there was deficiency
in evidence aud the only conclusion 10 which
l can arrive is that the jury must have forgot
ten or disregarded their oaths.

LExINGToN.-This famous horse, whose name
was once in every ones mouth in this country,
was exhibited at the recent great Fair at St
Louis. A CORES pondent of the Weekly Mirror
who was present, says:
Here he comes led by TWO grooms. He treads
the ground the monarch OF the turf A shout
from the multitude greets him. Bouquets are
showered upon him. collar of flowers,
thrown by some adnirer, adorns his neck.
Now he walks around the ring like a conque =
or, with his proud elastic tread. He looks as
if he would spurn tie earth, and fly like the
taoied horse of the gods. The crowd vote him
the blue ribbon by acclaim. Cries of "brin Z
him round" resound from every side. But the
poor fellow is frightened by the noise of the
throng which he cannot see. lie seems to Stra II
his sightless balls from their sockets, and TO try
to peep through the darkness. Then, as if the
noise reminded him OF his former trump he
endeavors 10 break from his grooms and run.
He trembes in every limb, and is almost over
come with excitement. What symmetry of
limb, what grace of movement, what sensitive
ness aud delicacy of organization Poor. blind
monarch of the turf. every man there would
if he could, unseal your eyes and bid you renew
your former glories.
