Mr.. 0lLAIAN'S APPLICATION WITH
THE REBEL ELE mENT.

Nothing but the sternest sense Of
public duty could have induced us' to
put Mr.. G. A. Gilman to the rack, by
referring to bis record during tho days
of Johnsonism-when he united his for
tunes with the rebel element in the
North and undertook to render the
blood and treasure poured out by thu
loyal people of the nation Of no avail
as We were compelled to . couple of
weeks ago. We knew tkat this vas 4
very sore point with him, and that just
at this time, when he was attempting to
assume dictatorship over tho Rspub.
liean party Of this county, in the hope
of getting himself or one Of his con.
federates nominated for tho Senator
ship, to touch on it would be like salg.
ing = wound with salt and pepper. Mr..
Gilman showed last week, in his at
tempt at reply, how badly he WAS burt.
But he did not dare to deny Ii. de.er-
t'o~ Of tie Republican party, aud his
afhliatiou With the party which
pronounced "the var failure" and en-
deavored u make it such. Mr.. Gilman
cannot deny this. His record Is too
we'll known; and whom he now attempts
to force the Republicans Of Stearns
county into . compliance With his pur.
poses, they will remember whore he
stood during those trying days when
the very existence Of the party was at
stake. They will remember how hs
'''0est oser to the enemy to SEEK and &C.
cepf pt sition )" how he sold himself
for the dollars and cents Of federal of.
fee. Mr.. Gilman denounces Horace
Greeley As being little short of iofa-
nous but even Horace Greeley was
true to the Republican party when Mr..
Gilman turned traitor to it. The latter
was deserter when tho great question
was, "sha|l We have peace or another
war F'-Horace Greeley when the
question is, 'How shall We best i'm
prove our peace 2" Mr.. Gilman
has kept fellowship With no party long
er than he could hold, or hope to held,
Office under it. A member of al par
ties, he has been . deserter from oil.
Mr.. Gilmas attempts to draw alton.
ten from himself to Us by making tho
charge that at the time when be went
over to the enemy tho editor Of this pa
per, who was then Ressiver of the
Land Office, had under consideration 4
proposition to come out for johnson.
This is not true. Had We entertained
any such proposition Mr.. Gilman would
never have received a. the reward of
his treachery TIE Rseeivership. He
would have hid some little revenue Of.

IN THE HOUSE.

The bill 10 encourage the planting and
preservation of woods in the public do
main, was taken up and discussed until
the expiration of the morning hour.
The bill to carry out the provisions of
the Treaty az Washington, came up as a
special order, and was on motion of Mr..
ksaEd against the objections of Mr..
Cox postponed for four week..
Mr.. Perty, Of Ohio, addressed the
House In favor OF civil rights reform,
and intimated that he would offer a sub
stitute for Mr.. Willard's bill He de-
clared that the people were robbed by
this gigantic abuse; robbed of every
thing in the way of responsibility OF
anyone for appointments to Office. II
they sought ID in the executive, it was
not there, as it had been Wrenched away.
The resultwas however great the abuse
might be, that the people had nobody
whom they could hold responsible for it.
The utmost that Congress could do in
the way of reform was to mind
its own business, and to allow
the eX-offieers TO exercise their
power Of appointment which the coRsti-
tuition gave them. He had nothing to
do with the commissioners appointed by
the President. That was simply a mat
ter for executive convenience and dis
cretiOn. The bill before the House pro-
posed to prohibit members of Congress
from recommending or soliciting APP
pOintments to office. The bill which he
would offer as substitute would extend
that prohibition to all Federal officers,
to the Judiciary as well as to Congress
Members of Congress, he admitted, were
fitted to make recommendations in theil
districts, if they could disburden them
selves of the selfish and partizan consid.
eratiOns which govern them.

RAILROADS.
Menlnhis ana Inekson

The Jackson PiGiBdeqleT of Sunday
says: 'In his speech at the Denmark
meeting w ]. sykes stated that the
building of the Memphis and jackson
rolroad depended on what was done in
Madison county. Already a road from
Memphis in this direction had been
commenced, and would be completed
through to F!aleigh by July or. August
If Madison county does her part, this
road viii be extended from Raleigh tC
the Fayette county line BY Noyembel
next. Hardeman county has subscribed
enough to enable the company to put
the road under contract through thai
county, and if Madison now aeteC
reasonably well the road would be puf
under contract to the .Fayette county
line this summer. When this was done
the people of Fayette would carry i
through that county. OF this there wa
no doubt sl.
We say to our neighbOrs in HapiemaT
and Fayette counties that they need no
be uneasy about Madison. She will do
her duty, and We expect the contract.
for building the road to be let Out with
in the next two months. Let every mar
who feels an interest in Jackson anC
Madison county work with a vim anC
persistency worthy Of the cause and al
will be well.
