vouches for the truth Of the statement:
at recent session of one of the courts
IN South Carolina an entire negro jury
was impaneled. A case was brought be-
fore them, the witnesses examined, and the
attorneys made their respective arguments
The Judge, after laying down the law and
recapitulating the testimony, gave his
papers into the hands of the foreman, an
intelligent looking darkey, with instruction,
that as soon as they found verdict tc
bring it in without delay.
Thirty minutes or more elapsed wher
the jury returned, headed by the foreman
and stood before the Justice.
AS the foreman appeared to hesitate tn,
judge inquired:

The Columbus Journal, the state organ
Of the radicals of Ohio, commenting on an
article in the Cincinnati Gazette favoring
the appointment of Hon. William S.
Groesbecls as secretary of the treasury
puts the following reply:
"The Cincinnati Gaz,Hc favors the Sc
lection of VIM. S. Grcesbock for Sc ,retary
of the treasury, because he is an honest
man. The presiding elder of the metho-
dist church of this district il an honest
man, and yet We are not quite clear that
he is just tic iiian to select for secretary
of the treasury.
Our principal book-keeper we believe
to be an honest man, and yet, because, he
manages our accounts satisfactorily, we
do not insist that he should be chosen to
take charge Of the accounts of the United
States government. Henry Ward Beech
er is an honest and able man, but his pre-
eminent fitness for the position of secre-
tary of the treasury has not hitherto oc-
CURED to any one.
We are not aware that because a man
is good lawyer, fine thcologian, or q fine
Greek scholar, that he is necessarily a
great fnancier. Evidence of ability in
one direction is not evidence of ability in
al directions 4 first class mason would
not probably make a first class Surgeon
general, and an able lawyer might be
found wanting IN the position of secretary
Of the natJ or secretary of the treasury"
Now, let the Journal apply its reasoning,
which is clear and well put, to the case of
Gen. Grant. That paper and the whole
radical press contend that he is great
General, but does the evidence of his abil-
ity in that direction furnish Evidence of
his ability as a statesman If We were
engaged in war, his experience and sue
cess in former conflicts might justify the
government to employ him at the head Of
our armies, but as no sane man would 60
to stone mason 10 have pair of boots or
shoes made, or to lawyer to lay the brick
on his house, so it would be equally as ab
surd to presume that because man is a
good general he would make competent
and safe statesman. The reasoning ID
sound and conclusive, and the American
people would be guilty of great folly il
in this momentous state of national affairs,
they pass by tried and experienced states
men to put at Che head Of the government
man who admits his utter incompetency
and ignorance Of governmental affairs.

VndcE, Which King

A few days ago the indianapolis jour
nal declared in positive terms that the In
diana republicans were in favor of paying
the $50 bonds with greenbacks. 1t ap-
pears, however, that the central organ on
ly represents a faction in its party upon
that question. The New York Tires, OF
a recent date, contains the following intel
ligence from this state, which puts diff
ferent face Upon the matter. 1t says:
"The democrats complain that the 6nan-
cial plank in the republican platform is
not sufficiently clear and strong. They
may be able to see its force more distinct
ly by listening to the speeches and news
papers of the party. Even in the west
ern states-in Illinois, Indiana, and every
where else-they have taken the mcst de-
cided ground against any form of repudi-
alton, and in favor of maintaining the ma
ticnal credit by redeeming the national
bonds in the currency ofthe world. Our
Indiana correspondent writes that Hor
Mr.. Urth, who has been nominated for
congress, delivered speech to the nomi-
mating convention, denouncing repudia-
tion in whatever shape it might be propo-
sed, in unlneasured terms, and declaring
emphatically that, if his constituents ex-
pected him to vote for any measures tend
ing In that direction, he would refuse to
represent them in the halls of congress.
We are glad to see that the republicans
are everywhere expressing themselves in
such terms on this vital issue that the
democrats can not remain in doubt as to
the position Of the party"
The national bonds are to be redeemed
in the currency of the world" eh 4?
That means in plain English that the ma
tional debt is to be paid in gold. And
the republicans are everywhere so express
ing themselves on what it regards vital
issue, that there can no longer be any
doubt as to the p ,sition of the radical par
ty upon that question. Even that blub-
Der Orth, whose only qualification for the
position he holds is that he can blow like
a pOrpoise, in his speech accepting a ro-
nomination for congress, emphatically de-
cared to his constituents that to vote for
any measure even tending in the direction
Of reputation, such as paying the 5-20s in
greenbacks, for instance, he would refuse
to represent them: Virtu0us 0rth. The
radicals are going back upon their state
platform. In February last the republi-
can state convention, " amid the widest
enthusiasm" declared that "all the bonds
issued for the public debt should be paid
in legal tenders, commonly called green
backs, except when, by their express terms,
they provide otherwise" Now they in
sist they must be paid "in the currency
of the world, or gold How do you like
that, greenback republicans? Will you
