EIeciIng U. s. Senator'S.

Some of our leading exchanges are
advocating the idea of the election of
U. S. Senator's by direct vote Of the
people. We decidedly favor the propo
sition. The election of Senators by
members of the Legislature is fruitful
Of many mistakes, and subject to many
objections. We believe the people would
elect ADLER aud better representatives, or
at least those who would more truly re
fleet their will. The people are begin
ming to believe that these elections by
members of the Legislature are too
much controlled by 'rings," sectional
influences, and other causes than real
merit We think, it extremely doubtful
if either of the present Senators from
Kentucky wonld ever have been chosen
By the people. We know that neither Of
the Tennessee Senator'S were the popular
choice. We doubt not this is true OF
other States. What objection is there
to electing q. s. Senator's by a direct
vote of the people? A popular test
before the people would free these cleo
tons of many corruptipg Influences.

The Louisiana Radical EIe-
Phant.

The Radicals are in q good deal of
trouble about their Louisiana elephant
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gasette writes as follows
Gov Warmoth has appointed Gen.
Jas. Longstreet Major General of the
Louisiana Stated Militia, and assigned
him TO the immediate command and sap
ervision Of the entire militia, police, and
all civil forces within the city Of New
Orleans. and instructed him to confer
with and act in concert and harmony
with Mai. Gen. Emory commanding the
United States troops, and taking all nee
essary precautions to preserve peace and
subdue any spirit of turbulence or riot
that may arise. Al Of the militia or
CARNATIONS Of the city have been ordered
out. The United States troops have
been reinforced by strong attachments
from Baton Rouge. Gen. Emory's troops
will only be used to preserve order.
VIEWS OF THE FEDERAL COMMANDER.
The extra of the National Republican
contains the following:
Col Patton aud four other citizens this
afternoon waited on Gen. Emory TO ask
as to his position on this controversy.
They stated that forcible possession had
been taken of the State House, and that
citizens and members were prevented
from entering. They asked him wheth
err be proposed to do anything in the
premises, or whether he would interfere
with the citizens The General replied :
"Gentlemen, there must be no riot.
can and viii prevent it. You of course
know that the weapons Of destruction
have been improved within the last few
years. 1 have just heard that Gen.
Longstreet has been appointed Chief OF
Police and you had better 90 at once to
him and advise him to remove these pc
ticemen from the State House. They
should be on their beats, and ought to
have been there all the time. l have
never seen time when martial law was
more necessary, and, unless something is
done, will consider it my duty to APP
peal to the President and ask him to de-
/ clare martial law"

The Paducah KenHckian asserts on
the faith Of its Washington correspond
ent that the Democratic members of
Congress are with few exceptions, op
posed to what is known as the Passive
Policy and in favor of fair and square
democratic fight for the Presidency
Our advices from Washington agree
with that of the Kentuckian, and if the
Congressional idea is adopted By the Ma
tional Democracy we trust every anti
Radical will rally to the support of the
ticket. But upon the contrary, if it is
developed that our members Of Congress
are not up with the people; and that the
majority Of The State. indicate prefer
ence for the Passive Policy, we have
equally confidence that our members Of
Congress and the partizans who now op-
pose it, will yield their enthusiastic sup
port. Our party in Missouri, Illinois,
and Virginia have already through their
State organizations declared for the
Passive Policy, and it is probable that
other Southern and Western States will
do likewise
Whether the anti Grant Republicans
mean cuisines" or not, depends upon
the near future; and if they do, as their
recent movements in Congress Indicate,
they viii organize an independent party,
and seek such alliance with the two and
a half million Democratic voters as will
be alike honorable. If the Democracy
can seeure Democratic Congress by
eleeting liberal Republican President,
would it not be a wise and prudent coa-
lition. We think so. The Passive
Policy has all the arguments of the
times in its favor, and those who oppose
it can only do SO by appeals to party
passion aud feeling.

country, either as to speed, safety, or
reliability We hear experienced eugi
ueers say that the road IS already in bet

are Of substantial character. The
work on the new Tennessee river bridge

are engaged getting out rock for the
Hickman wharf, which will be filed in

will be during the spring.
Railroad men assert that a connection
between the Northwestern and Iron
Mountain at Hickman, is growing more
and more necessity every day, and that
an extension of the Iron Mountain to
this place can not be much longer delay
ed. Two thirds of the business done
by the Iron Mountain road is uuavoida-
bly, tributary to the Northwestern, and
the pro rata now paid to the Mobile and
Ohio as connecting link is too heavy a
tax to be long endured.

SIaVe--7HOIding i
Cuba.

President Grant 10 his recent message
% Congress recommends legislation
sgainst The holding of slaves by Ameri-
can citizens in Cuba, proposing that
sneb action be taken as would exonerate
tb;s Government from affording protec-
tom to or redressing the wrongs of this
class of citizens.
since that date bin has been pre-
santed TO Congress which, if 1t had no
retroaetiye action, would from the date
rs It's massage constitute every American
citizen holding slaves in Cuba an offend
or aud as such incapacitate him from
obtaining redress through his Govern
ment for any injuries inflicted upon HIM
bv the Spanish authorities in Cuoa. One
effect Of this would be to throw out OF
the Spanish American Commission every
Claim arising from the oonfscation by
the Snaniards Of exactly this class OF
nropertv; that is if an American after
he massage Of the bin held slaves, his
claim for previous losses incurred by
tbeir seizure would be invalidated-a
clear gain of millions of dollars to
Spain.
If on the other hand, an American
holding slaves manumits them to day,
the men, women, and children thus freed
by his hand are seized by Spain and
maintained in or rather returned to state
of slavery. As good field hands are
still worth in Havana thousand dollars
apiece, and as there are certainly not less
than twenty thousand slaves held IN
Cuba by American citizens. Spain, which
,obstinately refuses to abolish slavery
would net profit of twenty million dol
lars by the operation. 1t is OF course
ab,urd to imagine that an Administration
which has shamefully pandered to the
slave traders of Spain for the past three
yeas would attempt to enforce the lib
eraton Of the slaves after it has forced
its cwn citizens to surrender them.
the bill referred to were not framed
by he Spanish Minister, the benefit It
promises to Spanish interests would be
surwising.

Tt,e ssrant TannIany.

1t will be remem bered by most of our
readers that when Senator Trumbull in
troduced q resolution in the Senate, early
in the present session of Congress, pro
vidiug for the appointment of commit
tee to investigate into the alleged frauds
in the New York Custom House, the
special supporters Of the administration,
both 10 the Senate and outside Of it, op-
posed itwith extraordinary vi9or. The
public we're at loss to understand why
innocent men should be so terrified at
the prospect Of an investigation into
their conduct. When the party in power
were forced by popular opinion to accept
the resolution, our readers viii remem
Der that whitewashing COMMITTEE
the members of which, with one
exception, had expressed themsel
YES opposed to making any investiga-
ton, was named, aud that it was
only modified by adding one other
Democrat to the number, before it was
adopted. The secret Of all this anxiety
to suppress aa impartial examination into
the facts connected with customhouse
frauds has already been partially reveal
ed, notwithstanding the efforts of the al
ministration members Of the committee
to obstruct the progress Of the investi
CATION.

The snanish question.

If the Herald is fpbe relied on, the
President demanded an apology from the
Spanish Government on the ID of Jan
nary, in relation to the Florida affair.
This is the 9Th of January, and no re
Spouse to that demand having yet been
received. it is TO be presumed that the
demand was sent by mail, and has not
yet had time to reach Its destination.
Meanwhile monitors are being fitted out
at Philadelphia which are to be sent co
Spain If the apology is not forthcoming
All this looks very belligerent on paper,
but it is more likely to turn out baga
telle. The President knows no insult
was intended in the so-ealled outrage
about the Florida. and yet he demands
an apology and says he means to have
il !-NashuiHe Banner.

a Radical Plot.

The Bowling Green Democrat has
brought to light a most astounding Radi
cal plot, @ which unless some soothing
auoJypes are speedily administered mus;
result in the destruction of its entire
nervous system. 1t says:
"We understand that the leaders of
the Republican party at Washington
have raised large fund, amounting to
about two hundred thousand dollars to
be used in starting newspa pers in differ
ent parts Of the country for the purpose
Of advocating what is called the "Liber
al Republican" movement inaugurated
by that great humbug, Carl Scharz"
By what means the Democrat ferreted
out this astounding plot O. and brought

light of day, it does not state-only in-
ferentially from its intimate relations
with Republican sources. The Democrat
says, a considerable portion of this
fund has been raised to carry out this
despicable scheme has been given to
Kentucky. with the expectation Of crea-
ting disafection among the Democracy
Of this State" We admire the Dsnao.
crafs zeal for the Democratic party, but
regret that it resorts to such means as
the above with which to strike brethren
of his own party. There be Democratic
editors now, who are advocating the
Passive Policy, who were fighting for
the Democratic party when the editor of
the Democrat was using all his splendid
abilities against it. This is true Of the
past, aud time may prove it true of the
future. The Passive Policy has been
tried in Missouri, Tennessee and Vfr.
GINA. and We ask if the results in those
States we're such as to induce the Radi-
cal party to RAISE money 20 encourage the
movement? In each instance it brought
the Radical party overwhelming defeat.
The success of the policy in furthering
Democratic principles in those States
commends it to the consideration of the
National party. The Democrat is over
jealous and forgets the courtesy due
brothers fighting for common cause.

More Taxation in Kentucky.

Col. d. Howard Smith, Auditor, has
laid before the Legislature a report show
ing the condition of the treasury on the
31st of December. 1t shows an ample
fund so far as the sinking, school, and
others funds are concerned, but deficit
of $50, eco in the Revenue proper.
The necessity devolves upon the Leg
islature to provide some means to relieve
the deficiency in the revenue proper
just what the best plan may be, the
Committee on Ways and Means must
suggest. To US it seems that a tempo
rary loan with a slight addition to the
rate Of taxation, Is the practicable plan
-gsISjle-tb State has, since the war, lost
from lis taxable properly the value OF
her slaves, aud while the expenses Of the
State government has necessarily been
Increased. by the creation of additional
judicial districts, the increase of salaries
of public officers &c, the rate Of tax4tion
has been reduced Ills an absolute Ger

Will not produce money enough to meet

some mode Can be devised witch VIII ia

vvhisItey and Anai-vyhtskey.

Last April, at the City election. the
principal point of difference was whether
the Saloon keepers should be granted
license when the present term expired
The Anti-whiskey party carried the
election by small majority. The license
which was then held by the different Sa-
loon keepers of our town. expired on the
3lst of December. Application was made
10 the board for new license but
was refused by them, and the Saloons are
closed now, having done no business
whatever since last Monday. On We'd
