ships, they have no wrongs to complain of,
but are simply band of cutthroats, disturb
ing public order and endangering the lives
and property of peaceable citizens. They are
the same class of scoundrels who resisted the
draft, and committed various other outrages
during the war.
If additional legislation is necessary to pre-
serve public order in that section, the Legisla-
ture should at once enact it. If it is merely
the execution of our present laws that is at
fault, the Governor should Immediately take
the matter in hand, and repress the outrages
there with an iron hand. The community has
been disturbed long enough by these "Molly
Mcguire" villains, and it will be disgraceful to
the State if they are allowed to go unchecked
any longer

THE MINISTER TO AUsTRIA.-The nomination
by the President of Frank p. Blair, Jr., for
the post of Minister to Austria, will, we hope,
be followed by his prompt rejection by the
Senate. We can recall no man more obnox-
ious to the Republican party than General
Blair. Securing confidence by his stern advo-
cacy of ultra Free-soiI views, he no sooner
saw an opportunity to betray the party WHICH
had given him Office, than he went over to me
bitterest State-Rights clique of Missouri
With his brother Montgomery, he had much
to do with the treachery of President Johnson.
The fact that he has any of the blood of the
Blair family in his veins, is sufficient to cause
the Senate to pause before it confirms. The
fact that he is an unprincipled renegade from
the Republican party should insure his in
Simultaneous rejection. At present this candi-
date for confirmation at the hands of the Re-
publican party is stumping Connecticut for
the principles of Seymour and Toucey. His
selection is an insult to the whole radical
party ofthe country.
