AFACT mentioned by the Montgomery
(Ala) State Journal shows why it is that
the South does not grow itch. That paper
states that citizen of Wilcox county has
made a contract to deliver to planters in
that county one hundred and twenty thod-
san3 bushels of corn, at one dollar and
twenty-five cents bushel. As this corn
win come from the West, it will require fif
teen hundred bales of cotton, at prices now
ruling, to pa for it.

NASHVILLE UNION AND AMERICAS, FRIDAY APRIL ss 1872


For brazen defiance of public opinion
commend us to those Kansas Senators.
Since the first buster over the charges
which the Legislature of their own State
has brought against them and substantiated
by sworn testimony, nothing seems to
rufile their selfcomplaeency. Exon
gresham Sidney Clarke now gives them
another opportunity. In letter addressed
to the Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, to
which the report of the Legislative Bribery
Committee was referred, he restates the
gravest Of the charges against Senator Cald-
well, and the most notorious instance of
the wholesale bribery by which he obtained
his seat, and asks to be allowed to prove
his statements before the committee. This
has had the effect of forcing the committee
to take notice of the matter, and the clerk
Of that committee has been directed to pre-
pare an abstract of the testimony taken be-
fore the committee of the Kansas Legisla-
ture for the use of the committee at its
next meeting. Under date of April 90, the
Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial says:
at is expected that papers will be laid
before the committee, showing that, dam
aging as the testimony taken in Kansas is
TO Caldwell, the most important witnesses,
who could testify directly as to the pay
ment of money, were either not called or
were allowed to go out of the State and be-
You'd the jurisdiction of the Legislature, be-
fore they were summoned. Some of the
men, among them several of the most
prominent Republicans in Kansas,
have now announced their willingness
to appear before the Senate Com
mittee, and testify to their personal knowl-
edge of the use of large sums of money
by Caldwell and his partner, Lew. Smith,
and their public boast that they would car
ry tie Legislature, if it took quarter of a
million of dollars to do it. Pomeroy, who
supported Clark in the contest against
Caldwell, now begins to see the folly of
having allowed himself to be CON
nected with the affair at all, as he
was, by offering resolutions, etc., in the
Senate. 1t is said that whatever else POme-
10y uty NC sul1y Ol3 tIlcIc Is llOJuLlS III
the testimony, nor in the accusation now
made by CaldwelPs enemies, that reflects at
all upon him, except single statement,
made by one witness in regard to Pcme-
roy's last election, and that this is easily
susceptible of an explanation. Pomeroy
has, therefore, concluded to demand of the
committee a separate investigation of the
charges against him, and separate report,
in order that he may not be loaded down
with any of Caldwell's sins.n

GEN. JOHN 7. SPRAGUE, formerly Ho-
ratio Seymour's Adjutant General in New
York, is now a candidate for Governor of
Florida. There is much force in the re-
mark ofa contemporary that that unhappy
State has suffered more from carpet bag
gers than Egypt ever did from locusts, and
as there can't be much left for officials to
steal within her borders, it would be as
well, perhaps, to let her people see if they
can't take care of themselves without the
help of imported ofice-seekers for a while.

THE rebellion against Grant in tie Re-

THE Lafayette Journal, an administra-

elected on the principle that "history re-
peats ITSELF" and the St. Louis Times ex-
presses the opinion that if he is reelected
at all, it win have to be done by repeating.
