LEGISLATIYE.

BY reference to our legislative report it
will be seen that, after continued ballot
ings, the Convention Of the two houses
adjourned without electing Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Howard, on one ballot,
came in one vote of being elected, he re
ceiving forty-nine votes and his oppo
nents receiving jointly the same number
Yesterday afternoon DIR. Howard ant
Mr.. Brown, the leading candidates in th'
various ballots, had a conference ant
agreed 10 withdraw from the contest an(
thus contribute all in their power to I
speedy termination of the ballotings
This conduct upon the part of these tw'
gentlemen Is worthy of and will receiv'
the highest commentators, not only O
the members of the Legislature, but of al
citizens who are familiar with the circum
stances. Mr.. Howard, brother of Col
Jno. K. Howard, deceased, in life one o
the most highly gifted and esteemed citi
zens of our State, is the Clerk of the Sen
ate. Mr.. Brown, the son of Ex-Gov
Nell S. Brown, is the Clerk of the House
They are both young men of high charac
ter and bright prospects. They hav'
made most efficient officers, and by thi
act of abnegation have increased thei
claims to the respect of their fellow-citi
zens.

SOME miserable slanderer, wandering
about Texas and Louisiana in the capacity
Of Superintendent of Education in
those two States, has recently sent a re-
port to Washington describing a condition
of affairs there such as that pictured in
the dominions of the King of the Canni-
bal Islands. Among other prosecutions
he has endured, he states that dead cats
have been dropped in his cistem. Con-
sidering the outrageous ISLANDERS and vitu-
perations embodied in his report, the
dead cat punishment, if not well deserved,
was certainly indicative Of only very
moderate spirit of retaliation.

THE Grand Jury of Washington coun-
ty, Georgia, thus speaks CT the state of
feeling existing between employer and
emplOye in that county: eve are
gratifed to note the increase of conf
dence and good feeling between planters
and their employees; and, notwithstanding
the unsettled condition of the country and
the influence brought to bear upon the
susceptibility and ignorance of the latter
class, they are conducting themselves
well, and, indeed, deserve our commenda-
ton" But for the pestilent ofiicc-seck-
ers in the Radical party, who have moth
ing to recommend them to the people,
Georgia would have had no trouble.

FoRSEY is out against the bill for reim-
nursing the losses of Southern loyalists,
and the New Orleans Times thinks he IS
right. The Times says their principal
loss was that of character, and they have
long ago supplied the vacuum with dam
ared substitute, Besides this, as Foncy
naively says, ''the Rebels would become
so bold as TO demand of the Government
nayment for losses sustained by them in
the war" And that wouldn't do, you
know. Oh, mol They might commence
making inquiries in regard to the where
abouts of various pictures, pianos, silver
ware. ETC., and that would be exceedingly
unpleasant. We again agree with john
in his conclusion, that 'ft is not well for
the Government to make beginning that
might lead to such disastrous conse-
ouences.n Certainly not. Who dare say

OUR SPECULATAVE FINANCIAL
SCHEMES.

The New York Bulletin, a journa
devoted TO commercial and financial mat.
tiers, expresses the opinion that the coun.
try is to be subjected to afinancial sensation
in the form of q new funding and specie
payment measure. Though the precise
features of the scheme are yet to be de
veloped, that paper says:
'It appears to have arisen, on the one
hand, from the failure of the plan urged
by the Secretary of the Treasury, AID on
the other from the desire of Wall street
spectators to get up summer excitement
in gold and securities. How far these
parties may sympatize with each others
objects We do not pretend to judge. Per
haps, however, both may be properly re-
minded of one or two facts. Had the
efforts of Mr.. Boutwell, to secure the &C
ceptance of the funding bill been less con-
nected with concurrent speculation in gold
and bonds, the defeat of his measure
would not have been so swift and sure;
for there can be no doubt that the conse-
qucnces growing out of the extreme spec
ulatiye depression of the gold premium
contributed largely TO encourage'he public
opposition 10 the bill.
As for those who may anticipate prof
table speculation in connection with this
scheme, the Bulletin thinks it would be
well for them to inquire whether the pub
lie can be easily duped second time by
this sort of trickery.

WHILE the trial of Mcfarland for the
murder of A. D. Richardson was pro-
crossing in New York, Mr.. Graham, one
OF the counsel for the accused, asserted
that il was not Daniel Mcfarland who
was on trial, but that it was the New
York Tribune and the rest of free-lovers
alleged to be mixed up with that paper.
1t was judged by those thus arraigned,
that the verdict would be an acquittal of
Mcfarland, and to break the force of
such verdict, Mrs. Mcfarland Richard
son was induced to prepare Cor it was pre-
pared for herr a lengthy statement of
her troubles with Mcfarland while she
admitted she was his wife. This was a
minute detail of their married life, and il
bore terribly heavy upon Mcfarland.
This statement, which was sworn
to, was printed in the New York
Tribune the day after the verdict was
rendered, and it was claimed by that
paper as completely crushing Mcfarland.
Since then Mcfarland has printed in
several of the New York newspap ers a
number of extracts from letters from his
wife, covering the period from 1859 to
1864, and these extracts show conclu-
sively that this poor deluded or exceed
ingly wicked woman has perjured herself
in her recent sworn statement. What
ever may be thought of the propriety of
publishing these letters, they clearly dis
prove some material parts of her recent
statement, and thus invalidate the whole.

TINS is the classic way in which the
New York Tribune announces an episode
in the recent election in that city:
zone or two colored politicians, SUI
spected of aiding the Democrats, were
watched with lynx-eyed sharpness, and
one unlucky fellow who allowed himself
to be humbugged into depositing a Demo-
cratic ballot was punched in the head for
his stupidity"
The New York Express says: This
punching in the head' business the
Tribune and its new friends, we suggest,
may carry little too far. The offense
of repeating votes was quite common
among the negroes, and many arrests
were made. During the war, the TriJ-
1ne gloated over mob violence in that
city, until the mob was brought to its
own doors, but five years after the close
of the war we had right to suppose it
would not become the quiet cndorser of
punching Democratic c"lorcd men in
the head. The Express says nobody
disturbed the negroes who voted the Rad
ical ticket. This is fair illustration of
the treatment negroes ale to receive who
vote the Democratic ticket.

RADICAL RESISTANCE OF LAW.
There is not the slighiest resistance 10
the execution of the laws in Tennessee,
yet the Radicals are calling upon Congress
TO reconstruct the State on the ostensible
ground that the lives and properly of
'1oyaP men are not protected. In other
Southern States, under the rule of Radi-
calls, the laws are set at defiance, vet we
hear no howl of Radical indignation and
demand upon Congress to reconstruct
such States. We have recent illus.ra-
ton in Missouri The ST. Louis Times
says; ''In 1864 soldier of the Confede
rate army, named Lewis Garnett, sur
rendering to Federal authority, returned
to his old home in Holt county. Mo.
with the intention of resumiDg his place
as citizen under the government. His
iirst act was TO effect RECONCILIATION with
one Bohsrt between whom and himself
there had existed previous difficulty. and
wncm he supposed to be the only man in
the county bearing any iIl-wilI against
MIN. Bohart renewed the proffered friend
ship, andas an earnest of his sincerity,
forewarned Garnett that he could not re-
side In that locality with safety, but the
latter unfortunately gave no heed to this
counsel and was shortly after robbed and
murdered in coli blood by disguised
band of fifteen rufians A mystery for
several years surrounded the crime, which
none seemed able or willing to unrayel,
but in the meantime an svenger was upon
the track, neryed not only by sense
OF outraged justice, but by the instincts
OF tilial affection, who took no rest, and
abated no effort until he had clearly es
tabiished the completely of four suspect.
ed persons with the assassination. ant
but few days ago caused their arrest and
demanded their speedy trial. This aven
ger was Andrew ] Garrett, son of thu
murdered man, himself soldier, but {
soldier of the Union army. The hearing
of the cases was set for Monday last
before Judges Mcintyre and Lamar, O
Oregon, but as we learn from the st
Joseph Gazette the town was filed at al
early hour with armed men, who boldly
: proclaimed that the examination could
not proceed, and SO inundated bench
witnesses and attorneys that the case wa.
dismissed and the four deperadoes dis
charged The designs of these Radica
censpirators against law and ordel
were destined still to be thYarted, how
ever, for the parties were shortly after
ward re-arrested on warrant issued by
Judge Parker, of St Joseph, and are now
in the custody of the sheriff of Hol
county. Whether the course of justice
is to be again impeded by mob of parti
san rufiians, and whether the Governor
viii do his duty in the premises, and see
that these disturbers of the peace and dig.
nifty of the State are overawed and
brought to their deserts, remains to be
seen. y
Had this occurred in Tennessee il
would have sealed our fate. Yet it APP

sequence by the Radicals OF Missouri.

PRESIDENT GRANTS brother-in-law,
George Dent who was appointed APP
praiser at San Francisco, is likely to re-
ceive a severe overhauling in the Senate.
1t is reported the ground will be taken
that the simple fact of a man being re-
lated to the President does not entitle him
to position under the government. This
is heresy that should be met and de-
nounced by the '1oyal" as an infringe
ment upon the rights of the President as
established under Radical rule.
