STATE POI.ITICs.


The Holmes County Farmer hoists the
following ticket: For Governor, GEORGE
II. PENDLEToN; for Lieutenant Governor.
THOMAS EWING, Jr., subject to the deci-
sion of the Democratic State Convention.
The Seneca Advertiser, on the subject of
Governor, says 'The general desire
seems to be that if the Hon. GEORGE H.
PENDLEToN will consent to make the race
for Governor this fall he ought to be given
the nomination unanimously. He was
handicapped in 1869 by i'll health and
other untoward circumstances" The
CqoatoTd County Forum comedies with
these suggestions, and adds another name
to the ticket, Hon. JOHN McSwEREEY, of
Wooster, Ohio, for Attorney General The
Mansfield Shield and Banner urges the
nomination of PENDLEToN for Governor
and General EWING for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. We quote from rather a lengthy
article on the subject in the last issue of
that paper:
"The great disadvantages under which
Mr.. Pendleton accepted a nomination
forced upon HIM by the State Executive
Committee, after the declination of Gen.
Rosecrans, the nominee of the State Con-
vention, and running his opponent to the
girth at the outcome-lndeed, his election
for day after the polls closed was conce-
ded by the Repubhcans-inspires the ut
most confidence, untrammeled by the dis
couraging circumstances that weighed
down the efforts of the Democracy at the
last gubernatorial canvass. tits therefore
due this brilliant and ineorTuptible states
man, if he can be induced to forego the
comforts and blessings Of privacy, to enter
a canvass that will be warm and deter
mined, to give him an undivided vote at
the convention"
We opine, with ticket made up of such
men as PENDLEToN, EwING ami Nc
SWEENEY high hopes" of success might
be raised. 1t would mean business, action,
truth-telling and active work. With such
ticket we should have hopes of crown.
ing victory,

Captain Jenkins. Deputy United States
Marshal. was murdered at New Madrid,
Missouri, last week, while standing in
the doorway of the Office Of Tickelrs
werehouse, in which building he and q
friend had sleeping room The shot re-
ceived was charge of buckshot, which
almost completely severed Jenkins left
arm, but, notwithstanding the rapid fow
of blood from the several arteries, Jen-
kins pursued the assassin and fired sew
eral shots at him from revolver, but
without effect. He finally sank to the
ground exhausted and died soon after, al
though every effort was made to save
him. Benjamin Boyce was arrested at
st. Louis on Tuesday night, on suspicion
of killing Jenkins.

THE recent course of the radical leaders
at Washington develops more fully the
paramount issue. The recent speeches OF
Morton and Blair plainly develop it and
the Buyonet Act passed last Saturday
shows it unmlstakably. There is now
no dodging the paramount issue on the
part of the men in power. Their scheme
is to maintain power by force of the bay
onet. This they call reconstruction-XV
amendment &C., but it is to hold on te
power regardless of the will of the peo-
pie.
Let our readers, one and all, read the
speech of General F. P Blair in this pa

TnE Indiana Legislature came to an
end suddenly, last week, by the Republic
an members resigning and going home.
1t seems that the Democrats of the In
diana General Assembly were about to
act upon and pass an apportienment bill
for the State, and at this the republican
leaders took alarm and stoppedi al Legis-
lation. The governor will have to issue
calls for q new election to fill vacancies.

COAL in New York city has run up to
SIS and $40 ton. and in small quantities
to double that. This is in consequence of
the strike of the miners in Pennsylvania
and the enormous tariff preventing coal
being brought by the ocean from British
America. Coal is being shipped by the
Erie road and also sent from Baltimore
and Richmond by Sea.

THE Democrats of Michigan held a
State Convention at Lansing. on the 2lst,
and nominated D. Darwin Hughes for
Judge of the Supreme Court, and Messrs
Sill and Fenton for Regents of the Uni
versity. Among the resolutions adopted
was the following.
ResOlped, That the class legislation Of
the Republican party, by which immense
in the hands of the few to the detriment
of the many, the public domain wasted,
monopololles created, and sections of the
country fostered at the expense and to
the injury of the greater portion of the
nation, deserves the reprehension of all
advocates of equal rights for all men.

A little more reconstruction of bayo-
nets is being prepared. The United
States Senate passed the Enforcement
Bill at o'clock Saturday morning. after
prolonged and pointed discussion.
The Democratic Senators Trumbull,
Ross and Upton, Republicans, opposed it
at every step. The measure was put
through under caucus rule, Mr. Casserly
closed the debate on the Democratic side
and predicted that this tyrannical meas
ure would be the death warrant of the Re-
publican party. The design is to enable
Grant to re-elect himself, Napoleonike.

General Logan.

The Hon. John A. Logan, Senator
from Illinois. used to be very wicked
man, but he made profession ofrcli-
gion and joined the church some time
ago. and is regarded by his political
friends as one Of the most pious men in
the Northwest. And he probably is,
too, as piety has never prevailed as
much Of an epidemic in that section,
especially in or around Chicago. What,
then, are we to think Of this paragraph
from the Chicago Republican,:
Doubts have been expressed as to Cen
eral Logan's devotion to the Admins
tration. aid in favor O Grants renomina-
ton. The following ought to settle
them at once and forever: Our soldier
Senator was asked few days ago, in
his room at the fremont. how he
thought Grant would run. "Run!"
said he. "he'd run like HI, with tin
kettle tied to his tail"

Life Insurance.

The most touching illustration of
Radical love for the man and brother
has been recently offorded in Mississip-
pi. as given to the world by the Oxford
correspondent of the Memphis Appeal.
A certain carpet-bagger runs low
grogshop, frequented exclusively bv
negroes. In the fullness Of his affection
for the dusky race, he insured strong,
healthy fifteenth amendments life for
$4,000. Cuffee was then strictly sober il,
his habits and implicitly believed that
the policy would operate to prolong his
life to whatever /, myth he wished. The
corpet-bagger next took him into his
employment and gave him unrestricted
access to barrel ofthe vilest "bust head"
ever compounded in Cincinnati. Result
-Cuffec was dead it about two weeks
and his benefactor pocketed the $4,000.

The British Government.

The London Spectator laments over
the decadence Of the monarchical sys.
tenn in Great Britain, and says there is
in the country but one great political
Institution left alive, and that is appa-
rently endeavoring to commit suicide
by asphyxia. The throne, as political
power is dead; the Lords arc dying,
and If the House Of Commons loses the
respect of the country, there will be
nothing left.
John Adams, the elder, said the Brit
ish government, with its limited suf-
frsge and constitutional monarchy, was
as near perfection as human wisdom and
political science could hope to attain,
and it has endured for hundreds OF
years while all around have tottered
and crumbled. But mutation and decay
are written upon everything, and moth
ing is indestructibe but Truth, the
vital, living principle on which Gods
throne rests.

Massachusetts,

The colored man has not arrived at
the desired attitude even in Massachu-
sets. At Greenfield the other day, a
young Boston negro and member of the
Harvard school wasn't allowed seat at
table with the other guests at the lead
ing hotel, but was told that he could eat
in the kitchen with the servants, or
wait until the others were through. He
went to the other hotel, and they served
him the same way there. So says an
exchanpe

NIessrs. Toombs and Stephens.

The Courier-Journal says OF these
gentlemen, who after several years qui-
city spent in mousIng over mere abstrac-
tons, have recently appeared at the
front agsisDRger, it seems, to engage in
the toll fe of political life:
Mr.. StS lacks the vigor and elan
which are essential to the part lie would
fill at this late day, and Mr.. Toombs was
never anything but destructive. There
was in their retirement, dignity. There
is, in their temperance certain bois-
ferrous and unsightIy aspect which will
deprive them of that respect and conf
dence which old age should inspire. No
man is made to lead two revolutions.
Mr.. Stephens and Mr.. Toombs have had
their time, and are as unified fo- the
exigencies of the present generation as
it is possible toa couple not wholly be-
reft of reason and the gift of speech.

The Baltimore Sensation.

A gentleman who has been intimate
with the Wharton family for many
years informs the Courier journal that
Mrs. Wharton. the alleged poisoner, is
q woman of the most gentle and affec.
tionate disposition. Her love for her
husband, who was rather wild and
harum-scarum person, was conspicuous
during twenty years of their married
life, and she was so devoted to the son,
whom she is charged with having MUIR
dered; that she sacrificed her own COM
fort during his entire school days to be
near HIM and look after his welfare.
The Nngents, of Philadelphia, like the
Whartons, are people Of the highest or
der Of character and culture. Mrs
Wharton herself was richly educated
and up to the present time has borne
something more than an exceptional
reputation for. goodness and ,gentleness
ofcondnct. A more startling and un:
natural denouement could not be con.
ccived than that which hes thus sudden
ly come about,

The Way to Talk 1t.

The New York Express knocks big
lie on the head in the following style:
The lies are still legion. Even wo-
men go about pedding the lie that Gov
crnor Hoffman was present in this city
at the time of the Kelso Order No. 81,
but for their excuse they say they read
il in some radical newspaper. The fact
is, Governor Hoffman nor his private
Secretary ever heard of the Kelsoe Or
der until they reached Albany from
Newport. AS soon as they did hear of
it. the Governor left the Capital by the
2 p. NJ. train of Tuesday, and issued his
proclamation the same night Superin-
tendent Kelso having, in the meantime,
revoked his Order No. 81 at the instance
Of the Governor. Let the public at least
have the truth in this whole Natter
Least of all should organs of public
opinion lie. and when they make mis-
takes they ought 10 be the first to cor.
rect them. A newspaper deliberately
concealing important facts in times like
these, and upon question most excit-
ing and irritating to the people, as we'll
as to scots and parties, is just no news
paper at all.

The Kuklux Committee.

Col. j. II. CHRIsrY. editor and pro.
prietor Of tho Southern Watchman
Athens, Georgia, had long and tedious
examination before the Kuklux Com.
inittee at Washington last week. His
testimony was full and unreserved, and
TO the point, clear, distinct and undis-
putable, that no organization of the
kind, political or otherwise, existed in
his portion of the State. We have been
acquainted with Col. Christy almost
from his boyhood; he is an honorable,
heightened man, whom no consideration
or influence could induce to swerve in
tho least from the truth and we arc
glad that he was called before the Com
mittee, a. his testimony will have much
weight in dissipating the thousand and
one lies that have been put in circulation
about the Georgia Kuklux.

A Lady Killed at PRAYER.

The St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette of Sat-
urday gives the following particulars OF
the death by lightning of Mrs. Lowell
and Mr.. Brakeman during the terrible
storm in that vicinity on Thursday last
The house in which the two persons
were killed is situated about five miles
southeast from St. Joseph. 1t is three
stories high, with three principal rooms
and hall on each floor. When the
storm commenced Mrs. Lowell was UP
stairs in back room reading from the
Bible to her little daughters. The win
dow of the room having been blown
open. she took her children, ran down
stairs, passing from tho hall into a
bedroom, put the children ON the bed
and kneeled at the bedside. In this
position the lightning struck, causing
instant death. Mr.. Brakeman was in
the hall and the same bolt killed him.
Several other persons were more or less
injured. Mrs. Lowell was the wife OF
John S. Lowell, of Warren county, Va.
Her husband is now in Virginia City,
Montana. The two daughters with
whom she was kneeling in prayer are
aged respectively nine and six years.

Jeff. Davis.

Two or three weeks ago q cores
pondent Of the Louisville Commercial
concocted and sent to his paper sto-
ry, asserting that JEFF. Davis, while
travelling in sleeping car on the Mem.
phis and Charleston Railroad, had de-
scended from his own berth into that of
alady who was travelling in his charge,
aud was there found, in questionable
drapcry, by the conductor of the train.
And this, too, in the presence Of a half
dozen other occupants Of the coach, WI no
had not yet retired to slcep-perchance
to dream. Mr. Davis given name is
Jefferson" not "Joseph," and we don't
suppose he is above the frail,ies Of hu-
man nature, or that he is a bit better
than he ought TO be at his time Of life,
or superior in any respect to many 9TH
or people who sometimes travel on rail-
roads and occupy upper berths in sleep
ing cars. But the whole story bore evil
dence on its face of being a villainous
lie, the work of clumsy hand for o
dirty purpose. Yet the radical papers,
with several honorable exceptions,
snapped up the scandal as delicious
morsel and rolled it under their blister
ed tongues with JUNCTION. The Kuklux
humbug had about played out; but they
had now caught the old he-rebel him
self, and had him right where they
wanted him. Well-it was a nasty
story, and we should not have referred
to it at all except that it has been copied
into the KnoruiNe Chronicle, paper
which has some circulation in this direc-
ton.
An article on the subject from the
Memphis appeal, also Card from Mr..
Davis denouncing the SANDER, will be
found in another column Of our paper.
