THE TROUBLES OF AN ORGAN
GRINDER.

There is more trouble in the
Radical party. Our contemporary,
the editor-in- chief of the Press and
Times, complains that he has been
party, ana mGnCrUns rUr'0 fr0UuT71-c
instances in which he received "the
cut direct" He had been notified
that he chad been placed upon 3
committee Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic, of which organiza,
ton he is a member, to perform
certain important services" He is
not positive as to the nature of that
service, but thinks sit was that Of
informing Gen. Stokes in regard
TO the resolutions adopted by that
organization, selecting him as their
first choice for Governor Of Ten
nessee." He does not find his name
on that committee in the published
proceedings, and comes to the con-
clusion that his name was inten-
tionally omitted. Very naturally
ne attributes this snub to the mach
nations of some one or more in his
own party who felt aggrieved at his
success in the contest for public
printer. He is certainly good
Judge OF the character and calibre
of the men who compose his own
party, and we are dispc sed to accept
his estimate of them as Just.
The second snub grew out of the
fact that he chad been placed upon
a committee to engage in the com
ing sacred celebration of the Goth
inst. TO decorate the soldiers
graves" and in the published list
be again found his name omitted.
Very singular, wasn't it? There was
the damning proof of trifing with
his feelings, and like the honest
man that he is, he told those who
did it that they had been guilty Of
a very little piece of petty mean
ness. lie merely gives the facts
to the public to show what a very
little thing some men can trucklc
to- Our contemporary, the editor
in-chief, is finding that an organ.
grinder has hard road TO travel,
and that his position is a thanklcss
one. We condole with him is his

THE Press and Times reads the
Cincinnati Commercidl q lecture on
manners. The latter paper, which
has not a sympathy that is not
wholly with the Radical party,
thinks that party has been acting
very badly in Tennessee, and de-
clares that "neither Stokes nor
Senter is essential to the existence
OF the Republican party in Tennes-
see, but they do peril its existence
by their obstinate determination to
rule or ruin" The Press and Times,
Us in duty bound, declares that this
is "a malicious thrust at Gen
Stokes" and very plainly tells the
Commercial that "outside dictatlon
+ unmannerly." We presume that
the Commercial will subside after
this, ands let Tennessee Radicals
alonp.

Ringing Resolutions.

The anti-slavery society still lives, and
proposes to perform the remainder of the
work now left for it to do. At its last an

duced by Wendell Phillips, were adopted
Resoloed, That we hail with heartfelt
satisfaction, the vast progress the nation
has made toward justice and impartial
liberty within the last year.
Resolred, That we regard the fifteenth
amendment as putting the capstone to the
Negroes political emancipation, and as the
Guaranty for him of justice and fair
Treatment and equal rights in all time to
come; and we urge on Abolitionists I'M
firing effort to secure its prompt ratifica-
ton.
Resolged, That in the negro pew of the
church and the illegal exclusion of the
negro from full privilege in our hotels
and public resort and amusement, we re-
cognize that fell spirit of race hatred
which made slavery possible, and which
it will require the earnest effort of
Christian and patriotic men for years to
exercise.
Resolred, That we trust the news from
the w nlte 11OuSe Is true, anu Indt We may
really expect an earnest effort on the part
of the Government to put stop to anar-
chy and bloodshed at the South.
ResolCed. That in our judgment mar
tial law should be at once declared in any
county or town where political murder
takes place, and all persons directly or in.
directly connected with or related
to the assassins should be at once
imprisoned until the offender il
secured failing which a regiment should
be quartered on the district, at its ex-
pense, to keep the peace in time to come,
and the estates be subjected to fine OF
one-tenth of their value, the said fine to
be collected by the government and
paid over to the family of the murdered
man.
ResoIoed, That all persons aiding, shell.
tering, or sympathizing with these South
ern assassins should be promptly tried by
courtmartial, and shot. imprisoned, or
fined, according to the measure of their
offence.
ReSolced, That it is the first duty of the
government to secure peace and safety OF
life and property at the South, in order
that schools, capital and men may be at
tracted there to complete the reconstruc-
ton of those States

The Republican Candidates.

The Republicans of Vermont have In
annual convention presented to the peo-
pie of Vermont for their consideration the
standard bearers, for their next election.
They are good and true men who will
serve the State well. The substantial
unanimity witk which they have been Sc
lected gives assurance of their popularity
with the people.
Gen. Washburn's valuable services in
his profession and for the state, as we'll as
his ability, commends him to fellow citi-
zens as one who will honor the State and
the position he will be called upon to oc-
cupy, giving the best energies OF heart
and mind to the performance Of the high
functions pertaining to the chief execu-
tive office of the State. AS Vermont Is
to-day proud of his labors and the record
he has made for himself and her in the
past, when he shall lay aside the robes of
office, the people Of his native State will
feel additionally grateful for the discharge
of duties faithfully, independently and
honestly performed.
Hon. George w. Hendee, of Norris
town, who has been honored with the
nomination for Lieutenant Governor, is a
gentleman who has had much legislative
and parliamentary experience, having
served two years in the house of repre-
sentatives, and for the past three years in
the Senate. For two years he has been
president pro teinpore in the absence of
the Lieutenant Governor, and has
proved himself an admirable pre-
siding officer which give good guarantee
of his fitness for the discharge of the
duties assigned to him. His earnest eff
forts to secure to the people of the La
noble Valley the benefits of railroad
have been untiring, and his friends have
been cordial and earnest in presenting him
for the Office for which he has been select
ed, and he is well known to the people
of the State, as possessing eminent qualiti-
cations for the performance of its duties.
As was expected, Hon. John. A. Page,
the present State Treasurer, was re-nom-
mated by acclaimation, having SO faith
fully served the State as its finance Gus
todian, with great satisfaction.
The resolutions are pertinent and to the
point, and are expressive of the sentiments
of the Republicans of Vermont upon
the several political questions embraced
in them. The policy indicated in the in
augural address of President Grant, and
his administrative acts, are most heartily
endorsed, and the Alabama claims are
pointedly alluded to in manner that
shows the determination of the Republi-
cans of Vermont upon this question.
the harmony that prevailed during all
the deliberations of the convention, and
the spirit manifested by those who differ
ed from the majority were pleasant fea-
lures. The assemblage was among the
largest that has been gathered for many
years, and the satisfactory result gives as
surance that the Republicans of this COM
monwealth so before the people with en-
thusiasm in the support of their candidate
and full faith in the soundness of the
principles, upon which they base their po-
litical action.
