Capt. L. B. Hills, of Dodge county,
who has been Chief Clerk of the
State Senate for the last three sessions
to the satisfaction of everybody, seems
likely to meet with opposition this sea-
son in the person Of W. NJ. Newcomb,
of La Fayetts county. The Mineral
Point Tribune "soes for" Hills oppo-
neut in the following manner:
"Since the result of The election for
nsubers of our State Legislature has
become generally known the number
CT applicants for clerkships and other
positions has increased SO rapidly that
We cannot keep track of them- We
learn that prominent aspirant for the
Chief Clerksbip of the Senate is Will
liam 81. Newcomb. Of Darlington. Mr.
n. has been clark in the Assembly
for years; and when we consider that
he Is dead beat in about every sense
that term can be used that he has
never given over five dollars to the
party that has SO frequently fed him
with lucrative positions that he has
seldom, if ever, contributed either
money, labor or time, to the success Of
he Republican party in his own coun-
"; that he usually votes asplit ticket !;
that he has no influence outside of u
limited sirole; that he has tried time
and again fos the Republican Domua-
ton for the Assembly. and as often
failed; and that he cannot receive the
endorsement of his party for any posi-
ton in. lis gift. we think Senators will
c. NERVE the general interests Of the
Republican party by selecting more
worthy person for the highest position
10 their gift. Mr. Newconib, We learn,
claims 10 have eleven Republi an SEN
s.ors pledF ed 10 his support. We be-
licve Re3upn.an Senators have too
great regard for the Interests Of the
pubic and the party, to make such
pledges. There are many men who
have given their time and means fof
the success of eur party there ale
many worthy soldiers who deserve the
position there are many men OF great
er fitness aud ability than Mr.. New
comb !; and there are men who have
really claims upon the Republican
party, that Mr.. n. has not. We hope
Republican Senators will select man
who possesses some CLAIMS worthy Of
recognition"

New York merchants have begun to

It is stated that Governor Vance,
Senator elect from North Caroina
recently boasted in a public speech,
that his disabilities had never been re-
moved, and that he had no favors to
ask of the Yankee administration. If,
however, Congress would force upon
him the removal of his disabilities, he
would not object; but getting down on
his knees and begging pardon for WIN
he never could consider an offcnse was
not In his nature.
