This first rate notice OF a prominent

crat
The telegraph informs us that ex-senator
McCreery has been nominated by the Dem
Ocrats of the kentucky Legislature to sue
coed Garrett Davis i'll the United States
Senate on the fourth of March next
MeCreery is a jolly old soul, and person
ally one of the cleverest of men You
would take him, from his dress and ap-
pearance in the Senate. to be a well-to-do
farmer, fresh from his barn yard, who had
just dropped n to see with what little wis
dom the world was governed. He was
elected few years ago to til the unexp,red
term OF Mr.. Guthrie, and served until the
fourth of March last. He was candidat.
for reelection, and the indications were
decidedly in his favor. He felt so confident
of election that he declined to go home to
take part in the canvass. Finally his
friends persuaded him that he must be
present at least to receive the congratu-
lations OF his friends when the thing was
done. SO he started for Frankfort. He
had got as far, as Lexington when he re-
ceived an invitation to a big wedding
party in that city; commemorative of the
nuptials of two members of the first ta1ni-
lies. lie accepted. and presented himself
in hon espun and tobacco juice.
At tie supper table that evening he met
his political death in this way: Right in
presence of the elite, under the blaze OF the
big che ndeliers, he transferred an I'M
washed soup spoon. yet moist with mock
turtle, into the bowels of formidable
pyramid of ice cream and so mixed w his
courses as TO chagrin and disgust all the
first families represented at the festal
board His doom was sealed No man
who so thoroughly disregarded the pro-
prieties was fit to represent Kentucky in
the Senate. delegation went from Lex
ington next day intent upon his defeat,
and they worked SO assduously in the |
name Of all that was respectable IN Ken
tucky that they shelved him etfectually. |
John w. Stevenson, then governor of the |
State, was elected in his stead McCreery |
went back to finish out his term in the |
Senate, swearing vengeance against the |
''shOddyites of the Blue Grass REGION" as |
he styled them. He was rich. and the |
masses of the people rather liked him be- !
cause he wasn't TurveydrOpsicaI; he has |
spent year in hard work among his
friends, aud has now redeemed the blunder
Of the soup spoon. He is a man of unusual
ability in his way, and there is in him as a
public speaker vein of humor that often
recalls the best days of Tom Corwin.

The Right Man In the Right Place.


The State Senate, in choosing Senator
q sound interpreter of Republican prefer
ence, and at the same time Significantly in
dOrsed sound Republican.
Our readers will remember the deep re-
greet which spread through the ranks Of the
Republican party on the death Of Mr.. Lin
coin, and in the narrower sphere of State
life, a similar feeling of coincidence was felt
for the loss Of Lieutenant Governor Dunn.
Being among the first of his race who had
been elevated to power by the recOnstruc-
ton laws, admittedly an excellent presiding
officer. said to be in person a correct repre-
sentative Of his race, cOnciliatOry IN his
manners, and dignified in his department,
he filed the measure Of his days to almost
universal satisfaction.
But Providence ALWAYS furnishes its COM
pensatiOns, and although we drop tear of
regret over the loss of an able defender OF
republicanism. we bid hearty GOdspeed
to his successor who is no less able, in fact
we regard the successor as the ADLER man.
Keen witted intrepid, candid, determined
and loyal to his party. no one will doubt
that Lieutenant Governor Pinchback is pre-
pared to do his full share Of work, meet his
full share Of danger and contribute his
proper amount of inhuspce in securing Re
publican supremacy.
Individual fidelity has always been the
tombstone of individual success, and this
is the secret of Senator Pinchback's eleva-
ton over his peers to the honorable position
which he now occupies. In the beginning
of the war he was one of the first to de-
monstrate the loyalty, bravery and readi-
ness of the cOlored race to turn what had
been q union of oppression to a union of
strength for humanity, and when he was
elected a member of the Senate, he prov ed
by his fearless utterances that lie had not
forgotten the hole OF the pit from which he
was dug, nor the rock from which he was
hewed. And this individual loyalty was in
keeping with his submission to party dis
cipline. No slight neglect or misrepresenta-
ton could move him from firm and I'M
qualified devotion to his people.
Whether Democrats ma|igned, or false
Republicans deceived; whether he had to
eight with the beasts at Ephesus' or the
thugs and plug uglies of ward clubs. his |
JOYFUL submission to party discipline, his |
thorough acceptance of an administration |
which he has as Republican helped to |
elect, and his manly defense of those prin-
ciples by which the South alone can recover !
from the devastation of war. master the
difficulties Of reconstruction and utilize |
it's victory over an inhumae system in
dicated him as the coming man.of his race
Such a man will always attract to him
those who can be used for party success,
he will always be recognized by such as un-
the proper value of efficient
agents; and SO it has come about that pc
litical sagacity weds itself to political
giants Party necessity finds providential
the races are blended in the exig
encies OF Republican success. and the day
s not distant when the people will indorse

A Cairo Bulletin story for the little folk
lad nearly ten years of age cried his eyes
out yesterday afternoon at the trick of the
passenger tram locomotive. The lad had a
nice, bright silver ten cent Niece. and was
OF the opinion that the weight of the loce-
motive would spread it out to the d,nen-
siOns of quarter. He laid it On the rail
in advance OF the train and awaited the re-
suit. The locomotive soon came laundering
along, picked up the dime on one of it's
wheels, and flung it nobody knows whittier.
The boy beloved most heartily, and is
firmly convinced that the Illinois Central
ia by odds the meanest railroad of which
he has any knowledge.

the facts any longer. When we come to see
two United States deputy collectors of Gus
