candidate on the Democratic ticket for Cover
nor of Indiana.
AZ South Carolina Presbyterian thinks thut
Grants "Let US have peace" must have referred
to that peace which "passeth all understand
ing" y.
. Not the least of tie calamities connected
with Chicago is the announcement that there
are now in press no less than seven different
histories of the fire.
= If Grant is justified in the course he has
pursued toward South Carolina, what ought to
be done with Gov. Scott, who professed to be
able to enforce the laws, yet did not?
"A cotemporary thinks that ''the downfall
of Mormonism will relieve US Of the last relic
of barbarism." He evidently forgets that mar
tial law is on the rampage in the South.
Gov. Austin, of Minnesota, received d
bribe of S. 900 for signing railroad bill favor
able to ring of monopolists This fact was
we'll known during the canvass, yet the Radi-
Gals reelected him.
= The Cincinnati Enquirer is of the opinion
that our manifold causes for thanksgiving are
seriously marred by the fact that Congress will
soon meet and Grant will have to deliver an
other message
- The demand for troops to assist in the en-
ceeds the supply. The Attorney General and
redistribution of troops in the martial law dis
trict in South Carolina.
We preceive by our Texas exchanges that
the sugar crop of Texas is rapidly on the in
crease The Galveston Nears estimates the
present years crop as at least twenty-five per
cent over that of last year. and states that there
will be marked improvement in the quality

- That was palpable hit made by Secreta-
ry Belknap in reply to newspaper interview
er who had the bad taste to ask what would be-
come of the army during General Sherman's
absence. The Secretary said he thought the
newspaper men could manage it, with little
help from him.
: The Troops in South Carolina, enforcing
the Ku Klux law, recently invaded Cleveland
county, North Carolina, and arrested number
of South Carolina citizens who had fed. The
people of Cleveland county look upon this as
flagrant violation of Estate rights" but State
rights is such an unseemly phrase Just now that
it is an unfortunate one for them to use.
= The proposition of all the Democratic and
some of the Republican members of the Ku
Klux committee to recommend Congress to
provide general amnesty is not certain to be
adopted by the full committee. 50 far as the
Presidents views are known, he is said to be
opposed to general amnesty now, and will not
recommend it in the annual message.
= Hon. Thomas Manson Norwood, elected
United States Senator from Georgia by an
overwhelming vote of the Legislature on
Thursday last, is native of that State, having
been born in Talbot County in 1880, and is con-
sequently now forty-one years of age. At
twenty he graduated, and two years thereafter
went to Savannah, where he has ever since re-
sided and practised law. In 1872 he was
member of the Georgia House of Representa-
tives, but never held any other public Office,
and any possible disability from his brief
tenure of public life has been duly relieved by
net of Congress, so that no complaint as to elig-
ibility can be made. The all but unanimous
vote by which he was chosen Senator is suffi-
cient evidence of the estimate in which he is
held in his native State as a man of ability,
influence, and worth.
