There can be no second opinion about the meal
culable Importance OF this news. In q few days or
weeks all the world will be asking questions about
where Livingstone has been during the long years
he was hid away from his fellow countrymen.
What was he doings What strange people did he
discovery What the character Of the country and
hundreds OF questions which we suppose will be
answered as eagerly as they are asked. Poor Muir.
Gibson Is dead; the answering faith which he
till the day OF his death Is realized; but he
has gone away from earth and cannot see
the man whom Of all others he trusted. This will
be the saddcst Of news for DR.. Livingstone, who,
although restored alive, and we hope in good
health, more to civilization and friends must
take the death OF his best and truest friend the
severest blow OF all. Why speculate, however,
Livingstone IL alive and further comment is useless
until enabled to ascertain some OF the thrill
ing stories which, even among savages occasionally
gives n Zest to life, and which he Of all men has the
happy faculty OF depicting with such truthfuness
and lifelke simplicity.

1.-THE sCABBY SENATOR'S,

The Cincinnati Gazette CRadical) has an
article about "Scabby Senator'S" in which
it says of the North Carolina Senatorship
"The question ought not TO occupy the
Senate long. Abbott was not elected by
the North Carolina General Assembly, and
his claim is brassy. Ii a general amnesty
is intended, it would be well enough to
have i. reach over Vance. If not, the
election should be referred 70 the General
Assembly"
The Washington correspondent Of the
Gazette says Of The majority report Of the
Senate Committee on Elections:
at excludes Abbott from his sea- on con
stitutional grounds, and argues that the
English precedent, where the minority can
didRtes have been given seats, proceeds upon
an entirely different theory of government
from our own where everything originates
from the people, and lot from the crown.
a large Republican lobby from North Car
DINA, which has been for some time work
ing in Abbott's behalf, start for home to-
night, (Feb. 27,) satisfied that Abbott will
not be admitted. The question as to Ran
SONS admission, lately elected TO this va
cancy, still remains over. His credentials
have been referred TO the Committee, and
willnot be reported upon until after Abbott's
case is disposed Of.
In the editorial from hich we have
already quoted, the Gazette says:
alt is to be hoped that the Senate
will make short work with Clayton, from
Arkansas. II is al insult to tho
Senate that he should claim a seat there.
And il the Senate should find in the
Kansas case proof Of the carrying Of the
Senatorial election by bribery, as is gene
rally reported. and should set an example
by rejecting a Senator elect for bribery, it
would have an excellent moral effect on
these elections, which are becoming the
worst scandal in our whole political sys-
tenn -

@srAxDrEe STILL

Under this caption we find an editorial
in the Memphis Ledger, from which we
extract the following:
There has never occurred in the Senate
a debate of greater bitterness than that
which has recently transpired between Sum
neT, Schurz and Trumbull, on one side,
and Morton, Conkling and others, on the
other. The first assailed the administra-
ton and the last defended Il. The first
denounced it as corrupt, aud the others, If
they denied the charge, threw every pos
sible obstacle in the way of Investigation.
A debate more bitter never occurred be-
tween the Democrats and Wings, or the
Democrats and Republicans. And there
sit the Democratic Senators with their
mouths closed, eager to plunge into the
fight, bat restricteS by-what? That is the
question. No conventions are
called, no meetings held and no banners
floated out to the breeze. Is the Demo
cratic party, By common consent, dissolved
so far as the Presidency is concerned? If
failure to enter the contest as party may
be styled disorganization, then 1t is disor-
gsnized, dissolved.
The Ledger is much mistaken in tie con-
illusions, if its conclusions are indicated by
its interrogatories. The Democratic party
is Eot dissolved. 1t stands as a unit, and
will so act in the next Presidential canvass.
If it should not, then Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
will again be reelected President of the
United States. What then? "Aye, there's
the rub"
Hara will v-a lie irl,f
But where tomorrow? y 80 .
The questions propounded are: By what
are the Democratic Senators restrained?
Why do they sit with their mouths closed
in this bitter fight which is going on in the
Senate?
1t all proceeds from organization, discip-
line. That Democratic organization and
discipline which here in Tennessee, Col.
John Baxter, of Knoxville, attempted to
break and defeat, bnt which, despite the
efiorts.o said Baxter, remains intact. Dem
ocrstic organization to-day strikes more
terror to the soul Of Grant than can the
substance Of ten thousand disorganizers,
"amedi in proof and led by shallow
Baxter.
But the Ledger mistakes in one particu-
lar. Conventions have been called, Demo
cratic Conventions, and in not one Of them
has the voice Of disorganization and dis
indignation been sounded. A Democratic
Presidential Convention has not yet been,
but it will be called. When it meets and
declares the deliberate and determined
policy of the organized Democracy, the
party will respond as one man in every
Statp of the Inion. Hasten slowly

CRANES CHAMPION.

Senator Conkling, Of New York, appears
to be rapidly finding his level. The Spring
field (Aiass.) Republican, Republican or
gan of ability and influence in New England,
said few days ago:
"Mr. Roscoe Conkling is fast making a
reputation as the most Inbred man in the
Senate. His proposition to amend Mr..
Summers resolution by instructing the COM
mittee to inquire and report whether any
member of the Senate, or any other Anne
rican citizen, is or has been in collision with
the government authorities of France, or
any emissary or SPY thereof is simply
piece of the coarsest impertinence, and i'm
plies coarse and vulgar nature in the man
who made it. 1t is not Mr.. Summer or Mr..
Schurz who will be damaged by it, but Mr..
Roscoe Conkling. The Senator needs to
learn that something besides faultless
clothes and attitudes is required to make a
gentleman"
The New York Tribune, of Feb. q, has
this notice Of Conkling's last performance:
''Of all the petty and utterly contemplate
resolutions Of inquiry ever introduced in
Congress, none has ever gone so very low
down as Senator Conkling's resolution to
ascertain from the President what recon-
mendations to office have been made by
certain Senators. 1t may be possible that
some of these gentlemen have made more
such recommendations than the paragon of
excellence who thus impudently impugns
their conduct and attempts to revenge him
self for their independence. What OF
1t? Has the Senate Of the United
States sunk 80 low that il must employ its
time in hunting up these personal and I'M
important particulars? We might suggest,if
1t were relevant, the names of half dozen
pro-AdmiDistration Senators whose vote is
in favor of every jobbing bill, and whose
time is chiefly spent in mousing about the
Departments, but even in the controversy
Of dignifed journalism such matters are
thought trivial; how much more triiing are
they in the hands of a Senator-a states
man.
This fellow COlkllng is thurst forward as
Grants champion in the Senate, and we are
constrained to confess that it is according
to "the eternal fitness of things" that he
should assume this position.

THE Radical State Convention of South
Carolina, which appointed delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention, adopted the fol-
lowing:
1--WE endorse the administration of Presi-
ident U. s. Grant, in its wise and success
ful financial policy, which has reduced the
national debt, while lessening the public
taxes, and at the same time preserved full
faith with the public creditors"
The New York Tribune says: "Consid-
ering how these rascals have sold them
selves 10 measuTeless infamy, over and
over, by stealing their poor State poorer
than she ever was before, -quadrupliDg her
expenses, doubling her debt, trebling her
taxes, this resolve strikes us as the Chin
borazo of imposture and yiIlainy." "These
rascals" are the men who endorse and sup

THE following figures touching the NOR

submitted for the contemplation of those
hypocrits in Congress who are ever holding
up their hands in holy h~rror over the
dreadful increase of crime at the South
'qn 1861, the population of Illinois was
1,711,95l, Of which number 65S were in the
States prison. Ten years later, the popu-

inmates Of the State prison to 1909. The
increase Of population during the decade

rate Of crime was about one hundred per

SUGGESTIVE CONTRASTS.

There is something almost malignant in
the suggestions, some Of which We venture
to italicise, contained in the following ex-
tract from an editorial in the New York
Tribune of Feb. %, on Washington:
"Small wits 10 doubt will rejoice to-day
in the Ratchet and cherry tree as the only
salient point for comment which the recur-
renee of the anniversary brings to them.
We suggest that aeUer before could the char
acter of this man, so long foremost Of all
Americans, be studied by his countrymen
with more profit. He had precisely those
qualities which, either from climatic or
digestive or religious reasons, have
grown exceedingly scarce among us.
OF brilliant men We have had a
fair share, but Washington was
not brilliant; of nervous, headlong, dcs-
perate chiefs who offered their lives and
that of their men as freely as water; Wash
iRqtOn kRe3o the CGlUe OF prjrCte's life
and Of his otcn, and took care Of both. We
have had no lack Of rulers who used the
Government as mere machinery to lift
themselves into more lasting nOtorietv, or
IrhO sat IKE pOtypuS IN It's care stretching
out its .teeterS on eCcTy side to drUg food
into ats mC'C; Washington todS not enriched
one penny by the chances lrlicb his position
gre him; a more creditable fac IS B e va
u I'd money, and acquired it by eveIy homo =
able means.
lis it not worth our while, therefore, to
look back at this man whose body was six
fee two and sound in proportion to size;
trbo 1cds sober, honest, and pure in his every
day life; had common sense instead of gem
i,,c. nd who in fl3ip pIarfipal uaz-
served his country, and not himself to the
end? This day, when he came into the
world, is the best time to consider what cs-
liabilities there are in life endowed with
those virtues which We class as mediocre,
and the use which he made of them"
There was a time not very remote when,
if this had appeared in Democratic paper,
it would have been pronounced rank dis
loyalty.
