1ar"Mr. Kellogg, and one or two
more" on the Baton Rouge ticket,
are all who the Picayune can stand;
an1 yet they would prevent it from
being the gloomiest for this. State.
We don't believe that even the can
didates deluded themselves into the
belief that the Picayune would sup
port their ticket. But this sudden
leap from Grant and. Wilson, to
Greedy and Brown, and from Kellogg
to Mc'Enery& &c.. strikes some peo-
pie as singularly but not surprisingly
inconsistent. "Twas ever thus"

@-As a set off to the "inexorn-
bic logic" of Leet, we copy the fol-
lowing from the Galueston Standard:
I'VE have all along asserted, and
events are daily corrobarating it,
that the nomination of Greedy not
only defeats Democracy, but insures
to General Grant, our Republican
nominee, a large class Of Democrat
ic votes.
We would like to know whether
Leet can't inexorably prove that if
General Grant gets "a large class
of Democratic votes" he must there
fore bea Democrat.

An extraordinary sxhibitioh o
on the patto 81 the Pinch
back convention, by which the hu-
initiating terms of o fusion, made
precedent to q conference between
the respective committees, is an evil
denoe that the men who composed
the convention were strong in their
virtue and faithful to their princi-
pies. Will the administrator pa
pers charge that Pinchback and hi
friends are responsible for the d.
vision made permanent in the party1
Charge it in the face Of the fact that
no provisions were made by Pinch
back for q fusion? During a speech
in the convention Pinchback said
fairly andsquarely that IF the terms
were OF. such q character as no hon
orable man could accept and still
retain his self-respect, he would hold
Grant responsible for the acts of his
officials and, il necessary to defeat
them, would stump the State for
the opposition" As for me, said
the Lieutenant Governor, person
ally, I would prefer Greeley to
Grant, but for a union of the party
I would forego my personal likes
for the success Of tho Republican
party. "But. gentlemen" continued
the speaker, II would not sell my
honor for success, but would rather
90 down to defeat with IN honor
able ensign, an untarnished banner,
than march to victory with the loss
of honor and political integrity.
The Liberal Republicans, if they
put a good ticket inssthe field next
August, will comman the. votes Of
the intelligent colorel:people and.
the mass Of the whites, and that
reformation so much needed will
become an accomplished fact by the
election of that ticket.-Shrewpon

l@rConsiderable anxiety has re-
Gently been excited in the minds oil
many appointees of Governor War
moth, that he was about to decapi.
tate all state oMce-holders who do
not see eye to eye with himself in
the present campaign.
One or two removals already in
dictate that there may be some good
cause for the apprehension. The
Picayune, evidently expecting that
something of this sort was on the
mpis, clamors wildly for the instant
dismissal Of the present appointees,
and the appointment Of Democrats
in their stead.
We don't believe there is much
danger of Governor Warmoth fol-
lowing any such counsel as this,
and We sincerely hope that he will
not entertain SO cruel a thought as
the other. The majority Of the pre-
sent staff Of o&ce-holders have been
and are true and tried friends of
Governor Warmoth, and to discard
them, as a worn out coat, and give
the places they. have striven to keep
in the Governors gift, aye, even the
preservation of the Gubernatorial
chair itself for him, would not only
impair the integrity, strength and
usefulness Of our party, but would
argue too great an oblivion of all APP

fidelity, for us to believe the Gov

the place attractive. On q

The Harrlsonburg
State journal contains the following
picture of it's State judiciary:
1--WE alluded some months since,
to the fact that in q neighborine
State a court was adjourned on &C.
count ofthe drunkenness of the judge,
who was actually SO inebriated al
the time as to be totally unconscious
of his whereabouts and his conduct,
In our exchanges this week we find
q respectable paper published in a
neighboring county, which sternly
points to the fact that a judge there
actually reels from the tipping shop
to the bench, and adjourns court
expressly to join his roisterine
friends in libations of drunkenness
and scenes Of degradation. In this
connection we may state that a Pc
tition for a pardon Of an individual
convicted OF a high crime in the
court over which the judge presides,
sets forth, among other reasons for
application, that at the time Of the
trial the judge and several of the
jurors wero drunk.
This is q most frightful state Of
affairs. A drunken judiciary is, in
all respects, the most dangerous
condition in which q coordinate
branch of the government can be
found. We can endure a weak, va
cillating and corrupt executive-we
can tolerate a debauched legislator,
because it is not SO difficult to repair
the injuries they inaict on society,
and their bad example is limited in
it's effects on men. But a drunken
Judge is, of all other officials, the
most disgraceful az q public spec
tacle, and the most dangerous as an
influence of evil, in it's effects on
the rights and possessions of ! COM
munity. The acts of such a man
are frequently beyond correction
when wrong. He holds in his hand
the title of property, the peace Of
communities, the tics of the domes-
tic circle, and the most sacred
rights of men and women. II a
man invested with such power, and
in whom such responsibilities rest,
so far forgets himself as to even ap-
pear in the, community, drunk, to
say nothing about his Keeling into
court in that condition, he ought at
once to be stripped Of his robes Of
Office, impeached, and retired in
the disgrace which he brought up
ON himself. There ought not to be
moments hesitation in dealing
with such men. If he is young, he
should be driven from the bench, to
save the community from a lifetime
Of his uncertainties, and if he is old.
he should be retired, to save dis
grace. The drunken judge has no
parallel in social degradation and
humiliation.

THE BALTIMORE CONVEN-
TON AND IT'S NOMINA-
TONS.
The Democracy Of the United
States have held their Convention
at Baltimore, and with q single 81
gantic stride, as has ever been taken
by any political. party in this OF
any other Christian country, placed
a distance between their former and
present position, that, in the inter
est Of the whole country, we hope
never to see them retrace. And
this stride has been as unexpected
to the multitude as it is great The
popular knowledge Of the "learn
nothing and forget nothing" pro-
pensities of the Democracy, with
their %implacable hatred to every shade
Of politics not in perfect accord
with their own, induced superficial
observers to believe that the Demo
cracy of the nation would prefer to
"die in the ditch" rather than part
with their cherished doctrines and
dogmas. Hence, when Cincinnati
had nominated Horace Greeley for
President, and the probability Of his
endorsement by the Democracy only
limited at, shouts of that derisive
and contemptuous laughter, which
scarce the proud philosopher can
scorn," rang out in the air. While
all over this land the Greeley and
Brown nominations, were sought
to be treated as the hugest joke OF
the season.
The Democracy never would and
never could endorse HORACE GEEE-
LEY!! But the attitude and of the in
flexible purposes Of this party were
lost sight of. It had grown tired OF
the permitted (if not sanctioned)
violations Of the rights Of the sove-
reign PEOPLE of this country. They
had Witnessed the frequent but fruit
less appeals to the national head for re-
dress OF the wrongs inflicted, and the
adoption Of measures to prevent the
recurrence Of them. They have ut
terly despaired under the present
Republican rulers, and they are con-
that under the banner Of old
they but march to de-
feat Therefore for once in their
history We find them adapting them
to the times and the exigen-
cies of the hour, and abandoning
their organization as such, adopting
q platform Of principles immensely
in advance Of themselves, and put
ting in nomination the men selected
the Liberal party for President
and Vice President.
The national contest may be con-
sidered Us now fairly open. No
party remains, and no other
candidates will be put up.
The Democrats will, on the whole,
do as Mr.. Robert Vance, or North
says: He says-"We have
been singing Democratic hymns for
forty years down here, and we have
never recognized Greedy as Demo-
GRAFT before; but if the Baltimore
Convention put him in our hymn
book we'll sing it if it kills III" They
have put him and he'll be sung by
Them.
Blatant Republicans when they
thought it impossible Of obtainment
we're sarcasticcally inviting this en-
lorsement, and now that they have
got it, they are more dissatisfied than
,ver.
The Liberals who originated the
movement are of course jubilant
,ver their success so far, and conf
assert their ability to elect
nominees. We shall see what
We shall see.
