The rumors that were afoat on Nednes-
day concerning the removal Of Mr..
Blanchard and the appointment Of Colonel
Walton yet lack confirmation. Mr. Blan-
chard was yesterday deeply immersed in
the duties Of State Registrar, working
away with the air of man who had a
big contract which he expected to finish.
The counting Of the votes is nearly con-
Guided, Some OF the wards have already

The Picayeoee. like Claude Nelnotte.
draws the picture Of q realm that it does not
possess. Whether the susceptible auditor
can be taken in is problem that we
doubt about. Independent journalism is
not quality that the Picoy7c1le can lay
claim to any more than Melnotte could to
the lake of Como. 1t is as violently par
tisan as the Tines, and more so than the
REPUBLICAN. and that it has selfish OBJ
jects 10 serVee is apparent in what it is
doing. 4 really independent paper can
have no interest in opposition to absolute
justice, and yet our egotisticaI contemo
porary assumes this character while it is
insisting upon that which negatives the
underlying spirit OF free government as
founded upon universal suffrage. The
vote of the State has been and is being re-
ported differently from what the people
declared; and this wrong upon popular
suffrage is quietly accepted by the Plea"
yeas as confogmable TO true journalistic
independence. Il is plain 20 US that the
assumption, on the part Of the PicGylue, of
the character Of aD independent journal, is
as groundless as was the title set up by
the Widow Melnottes son to the beautiful
home by the Lake OF Como.

THE Democratic Executive Com
mittee, at its last meeting, promulga-
ted call for a State Convention to
meet in Nashville on the 9th day of
May. The object is to nominate can
didatc for Governor, and, we presume,
to take preliminary steps for the Pres
idential campaign. Tn view of this
call, each county will be required to
hold a Convention for the appointment
of delegates to the State Convention,
and there is no day more convenient
for such assemblage than the first
Monday in May, it being County Court
day. In the meantime the civil dis
tricts should meet and select delegates
to the County Convention, The po-
litical aspect of the country demands
prudent counsel and the best men in
the State should be selected to meet
the important crisis.
