Laird OF the Stump.

The Democracy of the First Dis
trict, accustomed to easy victories,
prior to. the exchange of Dubois aud
Martin for Perry, are unable to redi
ize that their days of domination are
mum oered hence we find variety of
candidates struggling for succession

Gus perquisites, as well as pay and
mileage, now drawn by that amiab bic.
and handsome gentleman Familiarity
known as Sweet William OF Vim
cennes. 1a.
Among the names prominently
those of Col. Charles DENLY, Judge
Baker, Judge Parrott and Judge DaYy'
Laird. The three first named are
gentlemen of respectable attalnments,
either of whom would probably be
decided improvement on the present
incumbent. But DaVy has been "a
candidate time out of mino. He
yielded the race to Niblack ia 1866
with great reluctance, and doesn't in
tend to be either bluffed or crowded
off the track this year As an orator,
"DaVy" fatters himself heis stu
pendous success. He Grated at Evans
vile, last Saturday, before an admir-
ing crowd, and paraded his histor-
ic lore with intense satisfaction.
He was fresh from the perusal of
somebody's history of the French
Revolution. and expatiated at great
length upon that part borne by
Robert SPHERE" In that bloody
drama! There was a world of pathos
in his voice as he traced the history
Of the trials and affl ctions through
which the great Democratic party had
passed. and the more gallant portion
of his audience were well nigh affect
ed to tears when " Davy" expressed
his amazement that Is she' had been
able to withstand so much. But his
eloquent predictions and glowing por-
traiture OF her. future achievements
seemed amply to compensate for the
years of contumely and degradation
which she" had endured.-Terre

senator horizons Speech.

The Hon. REvERDY JOHNSON, in
his speech in the Senate of the United
States, on Wednesday. in reply to
Senator MORTON, paid the following
handsome compliment to that gentle
man:
IT proceed now to the speech of
the honorable member from Indiana,
Mr.. Morton In common with
every member of the Senate, l listen
ed to that speech not only with pleas
ure but with admiration. It was
courteous, logically argumentative,
and had the true spirit of eloquence
1t was a speech of which the Senate
has cause to feel proud. It brought
back our debates-if they have wan
standard of former days, when no per-
sonal reflections were INDUCED in,
when high and elevated principles
guided the discussion, when the good of
the country alone seemed to be cOnsid-
cred and not the mere success of party.
/ repeat, therefore, that no member
of the majority of the Senate admired
that speech more than / did; but |
believe. also, that it contains doc
trines which the Constitution does
not admit of, and that those doctrines
may, in their practical operation,
prove to be injurious. l therefore
proceed, with proper distrust of my
own ability to meet the argument of
the honorable member, to state the
reasons why L Jam not able to concu
with him. -

THE editor of the Tribune says that
the Federal Government, if it should
pay the. bondholders in greenbacks,
would simply meet its promises to
pay, with other promises to pay.
Well, isn't that exactly the way
III which the editor meets all his
promises to pay? And isn't it pre-
cisely the way in which the Govern
ment, with the editors appreciation,
proposes to pay all its creditors ex-
cept the bondholders, in whose favor
there is no discrimination in law?-
