NoNuhESLlONA AL.
Eighth District -Chauncy w. Wisncr.


The Convention called by the
workingmen, to nominate a State
Senator and Representative, met at
Tawas on Monday of last week,
and placed in nomination for Sena-
tor Sebra r. Proper, of Au Sauble,
and for Representative Phillip o..
Farrell of this city. OF the candi-
date for Senator we know but very
little, but assume that he is a man
whose actions have made him
popular with the workingmen, and
this alone would be strong evidence
of his honesty at least, and as to
his being capable to fill the position
for which he is nominated, we can
at this time give no opinion. The
candidate for Representative, Mr..
Farrell, is well known in this city,
and he is highly esteemed, not on
ly by the workingmen, but by all
who know him. lie is young man
of fine ability and good education
is a ready and eloquent speaker,
and thoroughly honest man. He
is first rate representative of the
best class in this countryside in
telligent working people,-whose
bodily strength and brain power
make them able to fill any position,
either high or low, and it would be
an honor to this District to have
such Representative in the State
Legislature. We take it for grant
ed that he will be elected, as he will,
in all probability, be taken up and
supported by the Democratic party
of this District as soon as a Con-
vention is held. The interests and
objects of the Democratic party
and the worlxingmen being so
closely linked together that a man
who will represent the one repre-
sents the other. We shall cheer
fully support him if he is nomina-
ted, and take this opportunity of
suggesting it to our Democratic
friends.

South Carolina has the glory

South Carolina has the glory of
disgrace, of being the worst govern
ed and most robbed of the southern
States. The Republicans, who
manage her affairs now, held q
state convention week before last,
and nominated Mr.. Moses, one of
the Tweed family of politicians, as
their candidate for governor. The
convention was riot; delegates
told how much money rival fac
tons offered for votes and there
were sundry personal alterations,
and pistols were drawn, but more
money than blood was shed. Judge
Orr with about fifty delegates with
drew in disgust and organized re-
form bolt. But the State is reduc-
ed to the verge of bankruptcy and
anarchy, and it is doubtful whether
it has courage and conscience
enough left to re-organize and re-
form it in opposition to Federal pat
ronage and bayonets. This is one
of the beauties of Grantism.

City Government.

Alpena is fast gaining notoriety
as city of lavish expenditures. At
almost every meeting Of the CUun-
ell, that body allows a large number
of bills, and it would seem as
though a majority of the people
were all the time doing something
for or furnishing something for the
city and it is almost remarkable
how willingly the whole amount is
allowed when the claimant is a man
of influence, and how they pounce
down on the feeble, as they did ON
the German whose furniture they
confiscated to use in the pest house
during the small pox excitement.
He presented a bill for $3.50, and
was allowed S5.05-something less
than one article taken "a rocking
chair) cost him. From what we
can learn from this account, it was
a fair one, but, as he claims, some
influence worked against him, and
our City Fathers saw fit to cheat
q poor unfortunate man out of
what he had worked hard to get.
But this is not strange from body
who so persistently mismanage our
affairs as the present Council.

Cheeky.

The Pioneer, in the face of Mr..
Bradley's well known enmity to the
worlxingmen, and his earnest efforts
to put down any and all movements
for their benefit, had the cheek to
assert that Bradley was considered
by the workingmen as their candi-
date, and that he was in favor of a
law, giving men lien on the logs
for their work in cutting them.
This will hardly go down with the
worlxingmen, particularly those
who belong to the different organi-
cations in this district, for they
know that the candidate first select
ed by them was afterwards adopt
ed by the Democrats and Liberals
at Saginaw, and is CLANCY w.
Wisncr, for whom they are work
ing, and whom they will elect. II
Mr.. Bradley favors worSlngmen lac
must have changed in the last few
days, and we do not think he has
made any move in that direction
All this last year he has been the
leading spirit of the clique who op
posed every demand made by thu
worlxiugmen of the Saginaw Valley
and there stands to-day no man il
this district who persistently laborr
to keep the workingmen in the
position of slaves as Mr.. Bradley
II he is the workiDgmen's candidate
neither he nor they know it, ant
the astute editor of the Ponce
must have the glory of the dis
covery!

Sentence Of Pat. Quinian

The St. Clairsvile Gazette gives the
following with reference to PAT. QUIN-
LAN's appearance, in the Belmont coun'
ty court, his speech in selidefense, and
his sentence by the Court:
The court this morning Wednesday
passed sentence on Pat. Quiulan, who
was convicted at the present term OF
assault with intent to murder. And.
also, upon William Douglass, convicted
OF manslsug ghter
Fat, who looks to be about q years
OF age, with florid complexion, made his
appearance in court in a suit OF light
brown velveteen, the color Of his hair
and mustache-blue and white striped
shirt with purple necktie In response
to the question if he had anything to
say why the sentence Of the law should
not be passed upon MIN, Pat. made
quite lengthy speech, among other
things, stating that he was more sinned
against than SHINING, and that with all
his bad reputation this was the first
time he ever stood up in a court OF JUS
tice to receive sentence. The court
sentenced him to the penitentiary at
hard labor for seven years. And he
having been convicted on another
charge, for assault and battery, the court
fined him $3.50 and costs.
Douglass was borne into court lean
ing upon the Sheriff and his deputy,
being unable to walk alone, having
injured his spine in falling in his cell
some time since, and having received
additional injury in his late attempt to
commit suicide. He said he had moth
ing to say why the sentence OF the law
should not be passed upon him. In
view of some mitigating circumstances
that appeared in the trial OF the case,
the court announced that he would not
give him the full measure Of the law,
but sent him up for four years at hard
labor.

State Printing.

| From the Charleston Courier.I
When the House of Delegates, just
prior to adjournment, acquitted the
public printer ofthe charges which had
been preferred against him, and
directed committee 10 examine, during
recess, the whole subject Of State print
ing since the formation Of West Vlr'
ginia, il was the desire of the printer to
avoid even the appearance Of attempt.
ing to forestall public sentiment by any
advance discussion of the subjects which
the committee would be called to con.
slider. He had the very best OF reasons
for believing that his predecessor in
Office would not feel particularly
comfor table over premature presenta-
ton of the more prominent points in
the history Of the State printing OF
West Virginia. In view Of his personal
knowledge OF these points and their
bearings, he was willing that the gentle
man who preceded him might enjoy in
advance OF the meeting OF the investiga-
ting committee, that happy repose
which its deliberations would have q
tendency to disturb. Mr.. John F!ew
seems to have misunderstood in the
most absurd and wilful manner, the
temporary truce which charity had
rendered him. Not apprecisting the
indifference with which an innocent
man may contemplate the transient
coupling ofcalumny with his name, or
possibly from native and matured in
ability to forecast the conduct Of an
honest man under any circumstances,
this iminent master Of the science Of
black cat skinning has taken the liberty
of constituting our silence as an evidence
Of ignorance or Of fear, and Of present
ing at length through the columns Of
the IntelHgencer, his own pretensions to
virtue and honor, in high wrought con-
trast with the humble merits OF the
writer of this article. In an Office,
where. in ten years, three generations
of "loyal proprietors have grown rich
upon State and Federal plumber, there
is set up a pulpit for the preaching Of
public morality, and the sermon com
pels our wonder in demonstrating how
easy ard how natural is the transition
from successful thieving to graceful and
elaborate lying.

Report COntradicted

DEsMoINEs, March 2l.-The report
sent by the agent Of the Associated
Press yesterday that Judge Love, OF the
United States District Court at Keokuk
had made a decision fixing the terminus
of the Union Pacific railroal at Omaha
is misstatement The question which
he decided had nothing to do with that
question. The Court set aside the con-
demnation of property necessary for The
approaches to the bridge in Council
Bluffs, because said condemnation was
done by a jury Of the Federal Court
when it should have been done BY the
Iowa State Courts, which alone had
jurisdiction in the case.

Special Dispatch to Times and Chronic!e.l
WASHINGTON, March 20.
The friends OF Judge Davis author
ize the following statements:
He accepted the Columbus uomina-
ton in a telegraphic dispatch, which
has been widely published. and has
held no other correspondence on that
subject, public or private.
He has not sought, directly or indi-
rectly, by any agency whatever, aud
will not seek, the nomination Of any
Convention for the Presidency.
He declined to enter into political
correspondence or arrangements con
cernipg a nomination, as being incon'
sistent with the proprie,ies OF his present
judicial trust.
His position is plainly this: II the
people who seek to bring about a reform
in the government, who favor amnesty
for political offenses, a candid restors-
ton OF the U Union in all its integrity, the
supremacy OF the civil over the military
power, the upright enforcement OF the
laws, hostility to Capitalization and in
tegrity in the administration Of affairs,
desire him to represent them as a
candidate for the Presidency, he will
accept that honor, because those prime
iples accord entirely with his own con
victions.

A CORRESPONDENT tells the following
romantic tale of the recent Pacific
Railway snow blockade: A man in
Denver married, but had to leave i'm
mediately and Unexpectedly for Sal,
Lake City, on urgent business. He left
his bride with tears in his eyes, and a
promise OF immediate return on bis
lips. He got there just in time not to
be able to ge. away. He made his
vav slowly along on the blockaded
trains, working with the hands, tor
every shovelful Of snow got out was
that much obstruction removed between
him aud his beloved. When within
two hundred miles OF Cheyenne, the
foremost train ran into bigger snow
bank than ever. at which the faith ul'
unto death struck out aioot, and walked
the two hundred miles in five days.
He came in with frozer fee, and ears,
but bis heart was all right, and be went
on bis way rejoicing. At one point he
was chased BY wolves and lost his plug
hat in running. The hat saved his life,
for the wolves had never seen one be-
fore and stopped to examine it for a
long time. 1t took them 80 long to
determine what it was, that our heroic
lover got out Of reach. He borrowed 9
red handkerchief at a laborer's hut and
pesssd on.
