THE ARGUS demands that the report OF
the Paper Credit Commissioners be distrib-
uted before the election. We hope it will,
certainly; for the Commission was voted by a
Senate that had but two Democrats in it and
ahouse three-fourths Republican, unanimously
in the first and with but four dissenting votes
in the latter. The whole was ordered print
ed unanimously in Senate that had the
same number of Democrats and with hardl,
opposition in the House. Printing was op
posed by Mr.. Wilson and favored by Mr.
Haskell of this city between whom there wa:
spicy debate, to say the least. Mr.. Pix
opposed the printing as was Mr.. Sewall OF
the ground that it would cost large sun
and contained nothing new. Every Repub
lican that spoke Oh the question aside from
Mr.. Pike demanded its publication.

gentleman OF excellent carriage-Cbarles
p. Kimbal He will undoubtedly carry az
before him on tie 14th proximo.-1ho"'o
Democrat.
1t is gratifying to consider that though "i
Kimball should be defeated for GoVernoi' anu
though his reputation as man OF great po-
litical sagacity. should suffer in consequence
of his declarations during the canvass, his
business is likely to receive considerable
impulse from the widespread notoriety his
candidacy for high Office will give it. Mr..
Kimbali being one our worthiest and most
public spirited citizens, no one will regret
that his present painful situation has its COM
pensations. He will receive the most pratui-
tous advertising of any man in America.
Every Republican paper that speaks dspar-
a9ingly of his political course and ridicules
his statements to newspaper correspondents
Invites public attention, not unwillingly we
hope, to the excellence of his carriages
THOSE that, like the PRESS attack him by
reproducing his public declarations in their
columns, only make more certain than before
the sale OF his jump-seat vehicles at profit.
A great many circumstances OF the campaign
can be made available by an expert salesman
that to the common observer would seem
only harmful to his employer. For instance,
he might say:
"Here, gentlemen, is tOp-buggy manufac-
tured by the celebrated mechanic and work
ingman' who sits in a glass partiuoned' rich
ly carpeted and furnished office, surrounded
by a crow of Waitinomen
Or, the shrewd auctioneer might proclaim
81 offer you sunshade from the manufacto
ry of the late Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, who is so well known as the author Of
who got so muddIed about protection that he
was obliged to take refuge behind lady to
escape the general dersion."
IL shall now sell to you wagon built by
G. P. Kimball, ESQ.,, who was defeated for
Governor last fall by tell or fifteen thousand
adverse majority"
In short, it will no doubt be some consola.
ton to Mr. Kimball, if he can't be Governor
to be millionaire, and to sell his carriages
from the st. Croix tc the Rio Grande, and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Nor shall
we at all regret it. If there must be such UNI
canny and undemocratic personages as mil
lionaires, Mr.. Kimball will make one of the
most generous and least offensive of this class
But if he should ever want to run as "work-
ing mans candidate" again it would make bis
position more absurd than now-as absurd
even as General Buffers.

The election in Kentucky has shown great
growth of Republicanism in that State. The
last Legislature contained only ten Ropubl-
cans and the number is doubled this year.
The home of Clay, Lexington, Fayette county,
gave Harlan six hundred and fifty majority
and made the county Republican for the first
time. The town of Garrett Davis eighty-threo
Republican majority, and the old rebel head
quarters, Bowling Green, gave forty-one. The
towns show a marked increase in the Republi-
can vote' but the raral districts are slower in
adopting progressive principles. The lessons
OF the election are decidedly encouraging to the
Republicans, and forshadow change in the
political sentiments of the people of the State.

LAwLEssNEss IN KENTUCKY.-The States
man, the Republican paper printed at Lexing-
ton, KY, gives some instances of disorder and
bloodshed growing out of the recent election
In Lexington itself: at the closing of the polls
the sudden announcement of the success of
the Republican candidate was responded to by
hearty cheering on the part of some cOlored
Republicans This grated upon Democratic
ears, and, notwithstanding the fact that most
OF those cheering by the advice of their friends
mad quickly dispersed, two policemen arrested
one segro and fired at another, ''the initial
shot, says the Statesman, that seemed to he
a signal for general and rapid firing of puns
and pistols at various points and in ali diraco
tiOns There was no ight-no conflict betwaen
the two parties-no war of races but a suJ
der onslaught of on apparently disjonted bnt
well-armed mob upon defeDceIess and fleeing
negroes who had dared to exercise the right Il
voting their sentiments, and to give shout of
triumph over the success of a chosen capdi-
date" In PARIS two shots were fred at the
polls, and both the whites and negroes imme.

GENERAL FRANK P. BLAIR having been
interview by the Herald gives the opinion
that the most intelligent of the Democratic
leaders will not accept the new departure,
deeming it injudicious, but adds that he con-
not tell what men will do to help cause
He regards the new departure as the special
work of Tammany Hall-a second edition OF
its attempt to make Judge Chase its candidate
for the Presidency. If the "new departure"
is accepted, General Blair regards Governor
Brown of Missouri the best candidate of the
party. she has always been" ''new depart
turist" says the General, "and will train
along with that principle like matched team

Tossing rs crimes in til past and candidate

will regard the old organization emasculated.
