cREp1rARLE CONDUCT.

Now that the Senatorial contest IS over
we desire to say that never before have
we seen more honorable conduct IN q SET
of antagonistic candidates for high posi-
ton. In the contest which has just
terminated at the Capital, there were five
candidates in the field, each one of whom
had warm and devoted friends-friends
whom it would, indeed, be credit to any
man TO have-and whose desire it was to
have their choice elected. But so far as
we observed those candidates and their
friends-and we confess to having kept q
very close eye upon all of them-we failed
to detect single act which might be
characterized as discredtable or dishonor-
able. 1t is true, each one desired to be
elected, but they did not wish to be cleo
ted by dishonofable means-by trading
or by concession of any right which might
pertain to the position of Senator to any
candidate which chances were the best
for success. Stewart and Nye go to
Washington as peers, as equals as Sena-
tors in everything that pertains to the
position.

THE POLICY oP ARMnSG THE SLAVES.
The writer OF the Message intended to be
cautious, but has in several points written an
indiscreet paper. That part which will at
tract most attention is the passage relating
10 a suggested CONSUMPTION Of negro soldiers.
This project originated with those who had
not fully reelected onEi in character, and has
been made matter of some publicity by
others who delight in all things which make
q sensation. The proposition has, IN fact,
made q considerable sensation both in North
ern and the Southern States. It has not
hitherto been mentioned in these columns,
because there was no possibility that it would
become practical measure OF policy, and
because it was a matter to provoke violent
discord Of feeling and speech at period
when such discussion was most undesirable.
Both from its delicacy and from the fact that
it has never been a subject Of official deliber-
alton, we are surprised 20 see II TO be an act
Of cruelty to deprive the slave Of the care
and guardianship Of master. II the slave
must fight, be should fight for the blessing
he enjoys as slave, and not for the miseries
that would attend him ii freed The second
proposition is still more startling. II is a
concession that the Confederate Government
has the power and right to exterminate sla-
yery by the simple process Of impressing or
nureSs,ipS an dawes, and then emancipating
them. Lincoln has never gone 80 far as this;
for. in his plan for compensated emsncipa-
lion. he expressly referred the question TO the
State. acknowledging that they oaly eonld
determine it. Il Is unnecessary to awen on
his subject. We are perfectly sure the Pres
;dent. could never have designed 70 give his

east, and is one Of the largest, most fertile
and valuable of the very valuable islands
which lie near to the equator. It is six hum

one hundred and twenty-six miles broad,
Containing an area Of forty-nine thousand
seyen hundred and thirty square milss-a

six dormant volcanoes. The vegetation is

cloves. cinnamon, cochineal, pepper, pinento,
tobacco, tea, and cocoanuts, are among the
nroducts for which it is famous, and through
which IL and the mother country both reaped
profit. So long ago as 1915 it exported to the
value Of 824. 26S, 476, and imported Sl4, $685.

Until l4TS the island was an appanage Of the
continental Hindoo empires. The Arabs then
captured il. The Portuguese seized it in
1911. The Dutch wrested 1t from them in
1875. The British held it for five years fol.
lowing 1911, and then restored it. The popu-
lstion includes Chinese, Arabs and BuGhis,
as well as Javanese, Europeans, and slaves.

laid AND COMFORT"

We have seldom seen anything of an
editorial character. in the Virginia Co'asti-
tuition that we could reasonably endorse /;
that journal having very persistently de-
voted itself to disloyal dispositions, to the
exclusion of everything else. We have
consequently given it the decidedly cold
shoulder. We were considerably aston
ished, last evening, to find the following
article in its columns, strongly advocating
the election of our Senior to the State
Partnership. There is not word of
treason" In it:
STATE PRINTER.-The Washoe Star, in
some well-timed and sensible remarks on the
importance Of conducting the affairs of our
new State on an economical basis, says that
ut is subject Of public notoriety that our
adjoining sister State, California, has, from
its first dawn as member Of the Union, been
the victim upon which incompetent, unscru-
pulous and corrupt ofhce-holderS or contract
ors flooded their own pockets and those of
their friends by the aTaricious and expensive
manner in which the State printing was con-
Quoted" To avoid like misfortune IN Ne
Yada, the Star recommends to the Legislature
as the best man % conduct that business,
Mr.. Philip Lynch, editor and one Of the pro-
prie.ors Of the GOLD HILL News. The Es-
meralda Union and Humboldt Register also
recommend Mr.. Lynch. Forbes knows Of
whom he speaks, the Legislature knows
Forbes, and We have no doubt his recon-
mendation will have great weight with that
body. ..r..
We could do the State printing ourselves
and would do It, for reasonable remuneration
economically for the State and ereditably
to US, but we do not expect it, couldn't get it
II we did, and don't want it-and we there
fore wish to throw the weight Of our influence
in favor the next best man for the position
Philip Lynch. We hope the Legislature viii
do themselves the credit, the Art PIeserv-
alive" the favor, and the taxpayers Of this
State the Justice TO elect Mr.. Lynch. He IS
an honest, capable and upright mana good
printer and an amiable gentleman. Heprints
the prettiest paper in the State 1.-THE Co1St'-
tsGtioa excepted), and always gives his bus
mess his personal uperintendence-th thereby
rendering assurance doubly sure that his
work VIII be promptly and well done. Lynch
is bitter and uncompromising Black Re
publican, but eschews little chques and small
politicians; and we advocate his claims, not
on account Of his politics or personal friend
ship, but because We believe that the inter-
ests Of the people Of this State will be best
subseryed BY his election Deer al other dsptr-
ans for the position Of State Printer.

An AFFECTING ScENE.-A correspondent
of the Bangor Wing, In letter dated from
the Provost Marshal:s Office at Houlton, thus
describes an affecting scene that occurred in
that Office:
"We have sent forward about sixty noble
sons of Aroostook (for they have some noble
specimens Of manhood in this region). One
Of these men is deserving of more than a pas
sing notice. One Of the noblest acts Of this
or any other draft occurred in this Office yes
terday. .r. o..
A Young man with small family and a
young and devoted wife responded to the call
Of the Government, was examined and ac-
eepted, and while his papers were being pre-
pared, q younger brother appeared, and learn
ing that his brother was accepted, pressed his
way into the examining room, was accepted,
and insisted on going as substitute for his
brother. Quite a scene ensued. The drafted
man said he wouldgo and offered his brother
$50 per month to stay at home and take care
Of his family and effects until his return, but
the brother would not listen to it, but 60 be
would, and the two brothers stood IN tears,
each insisting upon carrying his point. The
noble boy at length prevailed, and was duly
enlisted as his brothers substitute, making
the third son of the family now in the United
States serYice-two being in the First Maine
cavalry, and having already noble record IN

in our last evenings issue, but are from
different quarters. The railroad alluded
to as having been cut, was a eross-road

one. Hoods left wing had been defeated
on the Cumberland. Near Nashville there
had been some skirmishing without de-

British ports. A Union force was max

DEATH OF A NOTED GUERILLA.-Press.
Pollock, confined in the Nashville Peniten-
tiary, and convicted Of bushWhacking and
sentenced to be hung BY court-martial, made
his escape about the time Of the execution Of
Gossett, several months ago. A few days
ago he was discovered in the neighborhood Of
the Tennessee Iron-works, on the Cumber-
land river, and detachment from q company
of home guards, organized in that neighbor-
hood, attempted to capture him, and pursued
him so closely that he ran into the cellar Of
one of the buildings, and, drawing his re-
volyer, defed those who were upon his trail.
The home guards continued to watch his hid
ing place until the arrival Of squad Of Fed
efsl soldiers, who, upon reaching the spot,
Immediately demanded his surrender. Pol
lock replied that be would give himself up
only on one condition, and that was that he
should be shot in the body, and afterwards
decently inferred. He then remarked that he
had been sentenced to be hung for crimes he
had committed, and he had resolved never to
iie that way. The terms were agreed to-he
came ont. and gave hinaelf up, was shot
through tie breast, and buried according to
his request.
