The Senatorial Contest,

In the Ohio Senate, on the 2Sth,
the Standing Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections reported on the
case of contest of the seat occupied
by Mr., Jones, of Vinton. The re-
port denies Mr. Jones' right to the
seat, and awards it to his contestant,
Mr.. Onderdonk. 1t ignores the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, and
argues that only persons without any
admixture of black blood whatever
can be considered "white" in the
sense of the Constitution. Hence
the Committee rejects all the votes
cast by visibly admixed persons for
Mr., Jones, The report was made
the special order for to day, Thurs
day.
The democrats are surely jewels
of consistency. At Washington the
laws of Congress are of no force
can be trodden under foot and vic.
lated by the President, without com,
hitting any crime or misdemeanor
subjecting him to impeachment-un-
til FIRST passed upon by the Supreme
Court. At Columbus the Supreme
Court is wholly ignored, and its de.
cisions treated with contempt. What
beauties these democrats are, to be
sure! Such wisdom-such states
manship-can be found nowhere, ex
'cept in that party which taught that
State had no authority to withdraw
from the General Government, bnt,
if it did withdraw, that the General
Government had no authority to
bring it back.

SIGNS OF THE II GEs.

There are times when events appear to re-
suit from the deliberate continuance of men.
There are other times when men seem to be
hurried irTesistibly to some coming revolu-
ton as clouds are driven by the wind, or as
surrounding waters are drawn by the far
reaching suck of whirlpool. Such is the
nature of the present conjuncture The very
air is instinct with coming destiny. Day thrills
with voices of prophecy. Night is luminous
with signs OF glorious dawn. The safe APP
peal of truth TO time is about to be answered.
Apart from the Radical faction, desperate
faction of political conspirators and freeboot-
ers, who kick, and squirm, and writhe fran
tically in the grip of fate all eyes are turning,
all hearts are yearning, hopefully towards the
impending change. All convictions, all asp:r-
atoms, all movements among the great body
of the people converge to that common des-
tination. 1t is, indeed, the people who take
the initiative, rather than the politicians.
There is no longer, strictly speaking, political
leadership when all political purpose, in
fuence and force are swallowed up in the
popular impulsion.
Inc BtntIdl slS nluCduce OF the approaching
revolution is not to be mistaken. We use
the word revolution, not in the sense of sub
version and usurpation. That is what the
Radicals mean by it. What we mean is that
the people have resolved, after long forbear-
ance, to hurl the Radical subverters and
usurpers from their bad eminence, and bring
to the dust, in one general crash, these arch
itects of ruin and their execrable works
For three years and upwards, Radicalism has
been on trial in the silent workings of popular
thought and experience. The verdict is at
length made up. November next will hear it
announced in open court The criminal
knows his doom, and his only hope is that Of
the desperate outlaw who meditates resistance
to the execution of his sentence.
The popular uprising in this city, where
men of all sorts of business and of all sorts of
industIy-honest business and honest in
dustIy-are seen uniting with unprecedented
unanimity and cordiality, enthusiastic as it is,
is not exceptional. 1t is butone billow of the
deluge which is to purge the country of the
detestable and ruinous reign of Radicalism.

THE LATE W. II. C. KING.

A dispatch received yesterday from Pass
Christian announced that Mr.. W. II. G. King,
the chief managing editor of the New Orleaus
Times, died at his lake shore residence the
day before, at II NJ. The intelligence was not
unexpected. About six mouths ago, that most
inexorable of mAladies, the cancer, fastened
upon the deceased, whose otherwise excellent
health and vigorous constitution seemed to
defy physical disease in all its ordinary forms.
Indeed, his friends and physicians had ex-
pected him to succumb much sooner than
he did, and nothing but his extraordinary
fortitude, vitality and strength of will could
have long delayed the fatal contamination.
In many respects Mr.. King was a remark
able man, both in his private and public rela-
tons. Few men have risen to like or an
equal position who could with as much reason
lie described as self-educated and self-made.
Born in Pennsylvania, near Pittsburg, we
believe, October 23d, 1924, he terminated, in
his forty fifth year, by an untimely death,
career unusually cheekered and eventful, as
well in its obscurer as in its more conspicuous
passages. He worked on the Pcayune as
composition nearly twenty years back, and
subsequently became foreman of the CREs-
Clint, filling the place. as we can personally
attest, with unsurpassed fidelity, skill and
judgment
lie continued in this valuable and satisfac-
tory relation to us until il was terminated by
the fortunes of war. Sometime in 1862 he
was associated as editor with paper started
by Jacob Barker, the Advocate, which came
to a violent end under Cen. Banks's admins
tration. When, not long after this event, the
New Orleans Times was established, in 1864,
Mr.. King on account of his well known
newspaper experience and competency, was
called by its proprietors to an important posi-
ton in its editorial department. The paper
gave, however, little evidence of vigor, and
still less of popularity and success, until
1865, when Mr.. King became one OF its pro-
Irietors and its general manager. From that
moment it entered with bound upon a
career Of prosperity which has been con-
tinued TO the present time.
The result was, in some degree, due TO a
peculiar and unprecedented concurrence of
favorable circumstances. But no less than
Mn Kings sagacity, promptitude, and energy
could have seized this rare opportunity and
brought nom it such brilliant fruits.
1t is needless to speak of the deceased in his
political career as a journalist. He was, as
this community knows, rife with the spirit of
public enterprise, improvement and reform.
Privately, he was devoted husband and father
He received baptism before his death, and
died in the folds and under the consolatory
Offices of the Catholic church. May Heaven
rest his soul. Good bye, old friend and as
sociate

AN ILLUSTRATION OF RADICAL IDEAS.

The House yesterday passed bill, pre-
viously adopted by the Senate, which is a
beautiful example of how thoroughly repub-
hcanism is perverted from its original mean
ing when the word radical is prefxed TO it.
The bill provides for the amendment of the
charter of the City of jefferson, and in all its
sections but one is comparatively unobjection-
able, and for aught we know, may be highly
Endorsed by the people most nearly affected
by it. But there is one provision in it which
is so arbitrary, so unauthorized by any reason
but partisan zeal, and so thoroughly decara-
ton of the centralizing of all power, which of
late has been the evident animus of the Radi-
cal Republican party, that it could have ema-
mated from no other body of men but a Radi-
cal Legislature. 1t ordains that Immediately
after the passage of the act the governor shall
remove all the city officers and fill their places
by his own appointments, the appointees to
hold Office until the first Monday in January
next, when an election shall be held Now
mark. There is no reason alleged for this
removal, no charge of incapacty or of NAL
feasance in Office is made against the gentle
men thus summary ousted, no assertion of
unfairness or irregularity in their election is
set forth, no motive of expediency is brought
forward, but simply, disdaining to give
reason, without condescepding to explain
motive, the absolute fat of the General AS
sembly goes forth that the officers fairly
elected under their own Constitution shall be
expelled from those seats, by their occupation
of which the Radical party is Inconvenience.
We have called attention to this 1t as an
extraordinary action on the part of the Legis-
lature, but as yet one more illustration of the
lengths to which partizan zeal and lust for
power are carrying them. For us, the people
thus outraged, there is now no remedy but the
exercise of patience. But November is COM
ing, and if the morning of the 4th of that
month does not dawn upon the proclamation
by the whole people that the acts of this
Legislature and of every other SO called Gen.
eral Assembly in the South are thoroughly
condemned-if, we say, in November the
American people do not with one voice repudi-
ate forever the outrageous enactments born of
the 50 reconstruction acts" then let us mourn
the eternal setting of our once glorious liber-
ties, and let us bow our necks meekly and un-
complainingly to such arbitrary and unjust
enactments as the one yesterday imposed
upon MS. But November is comingl
