AGENTS. for the
SIGNALvICTORY.

The election ON last Tuesday for
Judge and Circuit Attorney of the
2sth Judicial Circuit. passed off quiet
Is in this county. The vote was light,
not much more than, half a vote be-
ing polled. yet a good deal Of interest
was taken on the result, land the
friend, of the respective candidates
worked very hard for success. The
Democrats, especially those who had
been disfranchised, were out almost
to a man in some neighborhoods, and
were quite active. But, alters all, many
good honest Democrats in different
parts of the countyysi in view of the
known superior qualifications of
Judge Kelley over his apponent for the
office, voted for him.
The result is that Judge Kelley car
ried the county by the handsome me-
iority of one hundred and seventy
vJtes. Had the Republicans turned
out as well as did the Democrats, his
majority in the county would have
been about four hundred. From this
result the Republicans may well take
courage, because it developes the rel
atiee strength of the two parties in
the county, and shows that the Repub-
lican partyis the stronger.
We feel proud of the result, yet we
are not disposed to CT ow or boast
over the election Of u ticket
We Go not fud it in our heart
to add to the humiliation and
modification Of our grief stricken
opponents, and especially our friend
Of the NeW Era. But we cannot let
the opportunity pass without con-
graduating our friends, and all Others
who contributed to the result, over
tina signal victory achieved on Tues
day. 1t is the harbinger ofsuccess in
the fall, at the general election.

Iron the st. Joseph Herald.l
A Deserved Tribute to Hon I. G.
Parker, our Representative IL
Congress
EDITORS HERALD: Not often do
the leaders of the public press have to
notice with appreciation the career. OF
our public men. Rather is it their du-
tv a. directors of healthy public opin-
ion, most generally to animadvcrt on
the delinqueneies and m~alfeasance OF
those vested with public trusts. IT. Is
then refreshing to be called on to I'll,
rect attention to conduct laudable ana
disinterested in any of those who rep
resent the interests of the people.
Mr.. Parker, u Congressional Repre-
| sentative. has made for himself an
| honorable record OH the judicial bench
and deservedly earned inc repute OF
an able, impartial and ef1cient ludse.
His career in Congress bids FAIR to
earn for him the same repute IN ms
| legislative capacity as an impartial and
| fai: hful representative of n inter-
ests of his constituents. "From one
instance, Judge the whole career" is
a maxim of old authority, and . ra-
| tiOpal mode of inference.
Some citizens Of this district had
been suffering under a long standing
| grievance, or rather injustice, to call
| things properly. Knowing that re-
dress could be obtained only at Wash
| ington. the, have been hitherto de-
TERED from making the application
under the impression that through po-
litical influence or O plethorlc purse,
neither of which they possessed, could
| THAR Ease there succeed. These could
not approach Mr.. Parker as having
any claim OF him for being OF ms Po-
l%itical party. as they were the oppo-
site. Having confidence iii ms intes
rity and disintercstcdness as TIER rep
resentativc, they put their case uhaer
his care with the intention of making
a proper requital for his professional
application. But that consideration
even he spurned, where the equitable
rights of his constituents were at
stake. Knowing their business re-
ouirel a considerable share OF lnvestl-
CATION and consequent attention, they
were naturally apprehensive that,
Though not neglected, their business
would remain in allegiance for a cOn-
siderable time. Washington. as they
had learned, he'd a great deal of the
circumlocution office about it. Judge
of their surprise to find, after q very
brief interval. a letter from Mr.. Par
ker telling them their business was at.
tended to and their just claims rectified
Gratitude for favors received is a SEN
;iment these men deem honorable, AMI
to which they plead fealty: But their
motive in this notice is neither to OBJ
trude on public attention their pri-
vate feelings, nor puff the good deeds
of Mr.. Parker. No in these days OF
corruption and selfishness among II
public men, both in high and low pla-
ces, they believe it a public duty to
call attention to a line Of conduct and
a parsonage that not only rises above
such delinquencies, but also o%verlooks
political pa%rtisanship and private in
terests in the discharge Of public duty.
All honor to our worthy representa-
tive, &c. Parker, and success in his
laudible public career, say we.

THAT the arms investigation has
failed we have the confession of the
New York Nation, an udmircr and
defendant of Sclurz, and that the
ltobcson investigation has failed We
have the acknowledgment of the New
York Tribune. Ii turns ont that
both of these assaults upon the Adj
ministration were initiated by Mr..
Schurz. who has further distinguished
himself by daily appearing before the
arms committee in the small c~larac-
ter of a prosecutor determined to
make out his case. This work he be-
gan over a Year ago. and with high
prctcnsions to judicial impartiality.
With like airs, and, with many add
cd assevcratiOns of patriotism. he
followed up his task in a public lee
turing tour last year. Resuming it in
the Senate, all his DISCUSSES have at
length dropped off, and left him play
ing unmaskcd the part of a pcttifog-
ging prosecutor of the object of all
this hatred.

THE New York Tribune (anti-
Grant says ofthe Presidents appoint
ments to Office: "WelatSy contradict
ed an assertion of the Times that our
chief objection to Gen. Grants r~e-elec-
ton was his appointment of 'profes-
sional politicians to office. We stated
the fact that he had appointed no
more Of this sort than several other
Presidents had done, if SO many, and
that a very large share of his nOmi-
nees for high positions were not prop
erly politicians at all. 1t is true that
he has made some very bad selections
for ofiee-some mot ally of these from
the ranks Of professional politicians :
but he has also made some very good
ones, and we do not think he has sinn-
ed in this respect beyond several of
his predecessors"
