IN A TRANSITION STATE.

It is a selfevidcnt fact that the
minds of our people are undergoing O
great change in regard to the duty oil
our rulers and their shortcomings in
the performance thereof. The over
whelming revelations of fraud and
corruption that permeates every de.
partment of Grants administration,
have so far astounded the American
people as to bring the thoughtful
members of every portion of our land
to the very verge of political revolu.
ton. The recent speeches and pub
lie acts of Sumner, Upton, Schurz,
Brown, Trumbull, Davis, and many
other of the oldest members of the
Republican party, show that that
party is in a transition state and that
it's very best men are looking forward
to new and purer political combina-
tons. The unclean spirits have been
holding high carnival in our public
places, and have driven the most up
righu and honorable of our statesmen
to the wall. Official power and privi-
leges have been welded and dispensed
at the highest market price. I'm
worthy political mendican,s have,
from same unaccountable reason been
brought to the surface by the food of
revolution. and have become putrid
by sailing along the sunshine of sue
cess until the atmosphere has become
redolent with the stencil of their cor.
ruptions. "a new departure" is be-
coming n necessity TO the maintenance
of a Democratic government. Grants
nepotism and shameless conduct in
the Observation-Disclosures of our national
affairs have alarmed even the most
radical members of the party that
brought him into political notoriety.
The boldost, best men of his own or
ganization have felt CONSTRAINED to
speak out against his high-handed
outrages in the San Domingo and
Custom House frauds-packing con
ventious with military and bread
and butte" brigades, and setting at
defiance the Constitution and the Iays
whenever they were in the way of
promoting his selfish ends. Against
such acts, and the man who is respon-
sible for them. the best men of our
country are revolving.

LINN COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION.

In pursuance of the action of the
Democratic Central Committee of Linn

bany, ON
Saturday, the esd day of March, 1879,
at IL o'clock, A. NJ, for the purpose of
electing ~ Delegates to attend the
Democratic State Convention and of
nominating the following candidates
for County Officers, to-wit: Five Rep
r~esentatives, l County Judge, 2 COM
missioners, l Clerk, l Sheriff, l Treas
urer, l School Superintendent, l AS

vention.
1t is hereby recommended that the
Democrats of Linn county meet ut
their usual places of voting in their
several precincts, on Saturday, the 10th
day of March. 1877, for the purpose of

on the vote cast for the Democratic

every thirty Democratic votes cast,
and one for every fraction of fifteen
votes or over, as follows. viz

GEN. RIcARD S. EwELL, another of
the Heroes of the "Lost Cause has
"gone over the River to rest" with
many of his gallant comrades, "under
the shade of trees" He departed this
life, on Thursday, the 18th ult., at his
home near Nashville, Tennessee, after
a protracted illness. He was q Vir-
ginian by birth, entered West Point
in 1886, in the same class with Gen.
Lee, from which Institution be gradu-
ated with credit. He was a gallant
officer in the Mexican War, and was
promoted for brilliant services at
Chapultapee. He continued in the
U. S. Army till the secession of Vir-
ginia, when he resigned his position,
to battle for the cause of his native
land. How well he acted his part,
those who followed his movements as
an assistant in the brilliant campaigns
of "Stonewall" Jackson, and other
celebrated campaigns and battles of
the war, well know. Though
having lost a leg just before the route
of the invincible () Pope, as o o as
he was able thereafter. he resumed
his position and remained in service
until the fall of Richmond, when he
was captured and confined in Fort
Warren for a long time, to return to
his home a mere shadow of his former
self. His demise will be lamented by
those who were with him in the hard
ships and perils of war and thousands
who looked on and admired his gal
liant bearing and indomltable spirit.

HOW HE GOT 1T.

Another of Grants special friends
is in difficulty. 1t is charged that
Senator Alexander Caldwell of Kan
sas, obtained his seat by bribery, and
the Lawrence Standard publishes the
names of a dozen or more members of
the Legislature, who. it says, were
bought to vote for Caldwell at an ag-
gregate expenditure of about s110,-
0J0; giving also, in the cases of sew
eral of these men. an account of the
disposition which they made of their
spoils. At first sight this story would
al pear improbable, as it hardly seems
reasonable to suppose that any one
would pay SD high a price for an of.
flee which yields SO small a salary
But it must be remembered that the
accused isfrom the same State as Sena-
tor Pomeroy, likewise a distinguished
friend of General Grant, and in view
of the profitable use which both these
gentlemen have made of t~heireoficial
opportunities, the money may have
been deemed a profitable investment
on the part of Mr.. Caldwell. The
Legislature of Kansas has appointed a
JOINT committee to investigate the
matter; but a resolution requesting
the Senate of the United States to
also take action on the case was voted
down. The committee has the power
to send for persons and papers, and it
is said that witnesses will be sum.

testify as to the facts. 1t is under
stood that the exposures were made
IN consequence of Caldwell's agents
having in some instances failed to ful.
I'll their promises, and also that there
had been other cheating around the
board in the division OF the plumber.
Senator Caldwell takes the affair very
colly, and is confident that he will re-
tam his seat, and hat his influence will
not be impaired by any Developments
that may be made. He is understood to
assume the same line of defence thar

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

Tomorrow the representatives o
the Democracy of Linn will assemble
in Convention to nominate = county
ticket and elect delegates to the State
Convention. 1t is perhaps unnecssa,
ry for us to call the attention of that
body to the Importance of the work
which they are called upon to per-
form, as they are gentlemen who we're
selected because of their known fit,
ness for those duties. 1t is earnestly
hoped and confidently expected that
their Deliberations viii be character
lied by harmony and good feeling
and that they will have an eve single
to the hest interests of the people OF
the whole county in the selection of
our ceaaty Candidates The party
which is posiGsrIy knaSn to be in
the majority in the county has a great
responsibility zpa1 It's shoulders as
the people look to it 80 furnish them
wise and just officials and faithful and
competent custodians of the public in
terests; and where there is 4 failure
to perform this duty the majority
party cannot shirk its responsibility
or consequences. l. is but justice to
the minority party wkich pays its
taxes and supports the common gov
erument alike with the majority
that the very best available men
should lie elevated to official position
and placed in custody of public al
fairs Remember that when the
righteous are in authority the people
rejoice; but when the wicked beareth
rule the people mourn"
1t is also due TO the Democracy OF
Linn that our County Convention put
forward none but true and ~unfiinching
Democrats for their suffrages-men
who have stood true 10 their colors
and shown by their past devotion to
the party what their future course
will be-
Let harmony, concord and good
will prevail in our Convention to-
morrow; let every MAJ sink his in
dividual preferences in desire for the
general good OF the party-and all
will be cell.
