senator Thurman For President

The Wabash Valley Times, Demo
cratic journal published at Paris, Hi.
nois, comes out in favor of Senator
Thurman, of Ohio, for the nomination
in 1872. 1t says:
''Our candidate must he learned and
able statesman, careful, prudent, and.
above all, an honest man-one against
whom there are no foolish prejudices Or
malignant hatreds, and who can carry
the full vote of the party. Why not
call this man Senator Thurman ?"
Unquestionably Senator Thurma an
possesses all the qualifications accorded
to him in tie above paragraph. He
would make an excellent candidate. =

HA correspondent writing from
Paris, commenting upon the troubles
that overlook the Omnibus Company
during both sieges, gives the curious bit
of intelligence that among sixty officials
of the company arrested by the Gov
eminent authorities two of them are dri-
vers of omnibuses with the prefix .sDe"
to their names, and that it is we'll known
that many broken-down "aristocrats,' y
unfrocked priests, and other bankrupts
find refuge from the storms of life in
the company's employment.

ETA Colored State Senator in Tex

A Colored State Senator in Tex
las Republican of course, has recently
made several quaint but very sensible
speeches to his constituents He don't
like carpet-baggers. "We took them
up" he says, "bob tailed coat, tight
pants, little gold headed cane and all,
and we have fed them long enough out
of our own 'chicken-pie' These little
fellows" he added, "are too small to
plow and too weak to hreed"-a racy
plantation illustration. This is thought
by the Newark New Jersey) Advert
ser to prove something as TO the Inde.
pendcnce of the black voter.

to have lead free and easy life toward

first French revolution, they had their

phemy, that ,'if God existed it would
be necessary to shoot him." as not being
in consonance with the idea Of the Re-

are talking of voting with them, be-
cause "the Convention is not a party

Jefferson on NepOiism.

A great granddaughter of THOMAS
JEFFERSON has written biography Of him
which is enriched by the introduction of
many of his letters. From one of these,
written to kinsman soon after his elec
ton to the Presidency, we make the fol-
lowing extract:
"The people will never be made to be-
lieve that an appointment Of q relative
is made on the ground of merit alone,
uninfuenced bv family views; nor can
they ever see with appreciation offices,
the disposal of which they intrust to their
Presidents for public purposes, divided
out as family property. Mr.. Adams de-
graded himself infinitely by his conduct
on this subject, as General Washington
had done himself the greatest honor
With two such examples to proceed by
| should be doubly inexcusable to err.
1t is true that this places the relations OF
the Presiden. in worse situation than
if he were stranger; but the public
good, which cannot be effected if its
confidence is lost, requires this sacrifice. y
1t seems like wanton cruelty to men
ton the name of GRANT in this connex-
ion, but can anything be more prepos-
terously ludicrous than the idea of cal
ling GRANT second JEFFERSON?

peradO credit. OF course it was a
cOld-bloOded murder of one South
ern man hy another, and therefore
the Southern press OF the locality is
filed with mourning. II a Ku-xlux
had ehot "carpet-bagger." or an
ex-confedsrats solder had murder
ed negro, the fact would be insig-
niicant and ;olerable, and no COM
plaint heard thereon. Such is the
justice which now controls the
chivalry, from whose teaching and
practice this fell spirit of murder
proceeds. Modern Democracy as
1t was once advocated in the South,
had but one meaning, and that was
OF murder and treason. The duel
list was heretofore the most famous
character in all Southern society.
Tie merits of Southern gentlemen
were rated according to the victims
they had sacrificed in dueling, the
negroes they had murdered, or the
hearts they had pierced with q
Bowie knife. Educated in such vo-
cations, made murderers almost
from their cradles, and looking on
the shedding of human blood as
chivslrous, the great mass of South
ern men are still left in Q condition
Of lawlessness which can only be
carbed by the strong arm of stern
and una,nching power. It viii re-
quire mors skill to crush this spirit
Of murder than it did that of rebel
lion, but those who gave it birth
and cultivation, have no right to
whine or complain, if they occasion
ally feel its bloody fingers at their
throats or see friend fall beneath
its shots and stabs. The South
to-day does not feel Q pang Of
agony but what is a just penalty
for its crimes.-Daily State Journal.
