The Enquirer does not have much res pect for
this individual: In speaking Of him, it says:
But for the prominence which his party
gives him there would be no reason for US to
mention, OR for any decent man or woman to
regard hm an Siastant. One years trial of
matrimony proved that he was lacking in every
domestic function. Twenty years of public life
have proven more and more that he is equally

it's not often, says the Alexandria Gazette,
that we agree with Mr. Summer of Mass, IL
anything that be says or does, but We are In ac-
cord with him, III his expressed opinion, in bis
late Worcester speech, that adequate banking
capital and a proper amount OF currency SHOULD
be applied TO the Southern States. The de-
tails, people may differ about. But the want
is admitted and the remedy should be applied.
This is matter which should be pressed. Ii
is most important subject for the considera-
ton of business men in all sections ct the
country. The South has been suffering evel
since the war for capital and currency.

Thieves in Lexington.

The Lexington Gazette says it would be diff
cult to surmise how many robberies were COM
mitted in Lexington last winter, but that q
week never passed without the report Of loss
by thieves and that the citizens as rule have
removed their bacon from their smoke-Louses,
and these buildings are useless expense in the
present state of affairs.
It recommends that the Town Council place
in the hands of discreet live man 5000, a Sc
cret service fund, and expresses the opinion
that, after few weeks, thieving will cease, the
stolen property will be found, and rogues will
be caught with their plumber,
