WErthink the unkindest cut
the repudiators have yet re-
ceived is the virtuous indigna-
tion with which our gLake
Shore" neighbor receives our
question as to whether or not
he proposes TO serve his own
creditors in the same manner
he advises his party TO serve
the National creditors. He
says We are personal ReAhaps
we are; but it is not such per-
scualities as that we object to.
We are willing he should place
the test to US in the same man.
ncr, for we viii rot advocate
any doctrine for om' party or
our country that puts our man
hood. TO blush. The PERSONAL
ties to which we object, are
such as appeared in the En-
quirer of the week before, in
which he tells MS twice in one
column in direct words that we
are liars. Now we take es.
pecial pains to inform ourselves
before We allow items to ap-
pear in the Record, as to their
ruth, and whenever the editor
of the Enquirer resorts to
hard names instead of facts
and arguments in answer to
what We may say, We know
that he has reached the last re-
sort of one who has had the
bottom knocked out of his ar-
gument. Now, we have no OBJ
jections to the Enquirer calling
us all the hard names they can
think Of, but they must not eX-
pect us to descend to the same
in return. We have too much
personal respect too much re-
spect for the good people Of
Vinton county, and too much
respect for the character Of
the press to so degrade it, in.
suit our readers, or belittle
ourselves.

er of technical objection only
so tar as he wished it to be;
that the negligence OF Onder-
donk waived Jones' rights
about the most absurd practice
we have ever observed. After
all this a Senator introduced a
a bill to disfranchise every per-
son in the State having a visi-
ible admixture of African blood
this to give strength, nerve
and direction to the committee
to divide the odiuaa with
them. Then the majority Of the
committee come in with their
report, and with great serious.
ness tell the Senate that it is
an important question, and
should be decided "without re-
gard to any other department
ofthe State government"-that
is, without regard to law. The
majority confess that Mr.. 0.
has signally failed to make a
case under the law of the State;
that after all their packing of
the jury there are facts not to
be gotten over without some
struggle; that they must bid
defiance to the constitutional
authority ofthe Supreme Court,
set at naught the established
law, and overthrow principles
settled by the courts for thirty
years. Of nineteen Demo
cratic Senators not one dared
to raise his voice in favor OF
the law of his State. The ma.
jority had done just what they
were appointed to do, and ad-

a Review of ,the ,UOuos-On-
.der,lOnk Contest.

Fair-minded men 6t all PAT
ties seem 10 agree that the
Senate, in the late Jones4On-
derdonk contest case, went far
beyond its province. In their
attempt to increase their ma
jority, they have not only vio-
lated tlIe rights OF Jones and
disregarded the express wishes
of the majority of the legal
voters of the Sth district, but
they have, in their official char.
acter, flung an insult upon the
highest court in the State, and
flagrantly violated the we'll
known law of the land. Our
exchanges speak Of this main
question, but overlook the lit.
tie mean trickery of The Dem
ocrats of the Senate, of which
meanness wc propose to speak;
for little, petty meanness is
more deSpicable than mean
ness on a larger scale, mas
much as it springs from lower
instin It's as the man who rObs
a bank is looked upon differ
emily from the fellow who robs
a hen.ro0st.
The case was pending when
the Senate was organized. The
Democracy being in the ma
jority controlled its organiza-
ton and made the committees
just what they wanted them to
be. The Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections was organ
lied with special reference to
this case, then pending. The
committee was composed of
seven members. Now, how
was it organized: Was itsuch
a jury as a fair, honest court
would wishs We have exam
amined the proceedings, and
are prepared to say that it was
neither honest, fair or even de-
cent.
First, there were eighteen
Republicans and nineteen
Democrats in the Senate. The
Democrats arranged the COM
mittee, selecting five of their
own number and only two Re.
publicans. Over one-fourth of
the Democrats in the Senate
on the committee! We ask
any candid man if this looks
like an effort to secure an un-
biased investigation. of the
case. Had the Democrats not
been over.anXious to secure a
report against Jones they
would not have given US this
ground of complaint. They
did not consult the Republi-
cans as to who she uld be Sc
lected from their number as
members of the committee, but
while they placed three Demo-
cratic lawyers Rex, Berry and
Cartier on the committee,
they selected from the Repub.
lican ranks two merchants,
neither of whom made any pre-.
tension to a knowledge of the
rules or principles of evidence;
this while the list of Republi-
can Senators shows several pro-
fessional lawyers. Had the
Democrats not feared a fair
and full investigation of the
case they would not have re-
sorted to this contemptibly
mean trick. We have observed
these things, and can only con-
clude that the Democrats of
the Senate, with malice afore-
thought, arranged the commit
tee. as they did, exhibiting these
little pettifogging tricks which
would disgrace a crossroads
lawyer, with the express pur-
pose Of defrauding Jones out
of his seat, rather than not
have their majority increased,
knowing that from their decis-
ion there was no appeal.
The next thing to be done
was to get rid of the case in
the easiest way possible. The
minority report shows the pro-
cess fully. On investigation it

ny TWO PICTU r Els i.
FOR OUR LADy's ADMINISTRATORS

It Is said each human face
Some record bears
ForeshadOwing coming days,
Or of past years; y-=
Mystic, prophetic CLEANS
Of future life,
Or history deeply lined
OF pain and strife.
Down on me, from the wall
or my hushed room,
Two pictured faces gaze,
In the soft gloom
OF this calm twilight hour;
And each is fraught
With differing expression,
And yet one thought.
BY unpremeditate chance,
Placed just between,
A simply fashioned cross
OF wood is seen;
One picture hangs above,
And one below,
And the meaning of each face
The cross doth show.
One images child
Fair, pure and meek;
The modest lashes rest
On the soft cheek:
White roses crown the brow,
The small hands fold
In trusting, child-like prayer,
Auu lll1c6 uOlu.
No aureola's rays
Hume this face.
But tender inner light
Gives saintlier grace
Suffering it hath not known,
Nor pain, nor care,
Yet is its coming grief
Prophetic there.
Pale, patient, calm and sad
The other face,
Whose history is writ
In every trace;
The mighty woe that crowns
The brow above
The mOurnful eyes, SO full
OF mightier love.
1 scarce know which sweet face
With hottest power
Speaks comfort to my soul
In sorrows hour
The grave pure child who waits
Her coming woes,
Or she who meath the cross
Their anguish knows. Il, V. r.
