tense, he would hold Mr.. IIaldeman,
Mr.. Watterson and Mr.. Henderson to
personal accountability, nor would he
suffer any substitute, paid or volunteer,
to assume the responsibility. Upon the
publication Of the communication, Mr..
Sears, in published card. avowed him.
self as the author Of the offensive artic-
les and asserted his responsibility that
when Mr.. Watterson left for Europe he
selected him (Sears) as the editor-in.
chief during hisabscnce, q fact which was
well known not only to the editor Of the
feomdn, but to the Press throughout
the State. In response to this, Col. Ma
jor called attention tohis communication
as first Published, in which he clearly
stated that he would not regard the as
sumed responsibility Of any substitute or
employee, but would look alone to Mr..
Watterson. Mr.. Haldeman and Mr..
Henderson in their inividual capacities.
Thus the matter stands 81 far as we
have information. The editors Of the
CowicrJourHal are committed against
dueling, and we know not what course
they may pcrsue should they see
proper to continue the offense TO Col.
Major. Watterson, though very giant
with his pen, is physically unable to
fight with any other weapon, and the
burden of a personal affair would neces-
sarily be thrown upon Haldeman or
Henderson. But there is "many slip
between the cup and the lip and we
may not, after all, be treated to the sem
sation Of little blood-telling.

Not Quite "a Duel.

The public were treated a week or so
since to rather an interesting correspond
ence between Col. Major, the senior edi-
tor of the Frankfort YeOmaa, and Z. A..
Scar, the temporary editor-in-chief Of
the COGrier-Journdi. We thought at the
time it might eliminate in an affair of
honor, and awaited the denouement be-
fore making any note of the controversy;
but the end was more abrupt than we
anticipated, and all that is left to us is
to chew what little comfort there is in
the melancholy couplet,
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen
The saddest are, it might have been"
So far as we have been able to learn,
the difference arose on this wise: In the
absence of Henry Watterson in Europe,
Mr.. Sears has had editorial charge of
the Courier-JolTnGl, and has, in the
meanwhile, written one or more articles
personally offensive to Col. Major. The
two papers have had their causes of mu-
tual grievance for more than three years,
and it required no great strain to give
the contest personal shape. In the
Winter of 1870 the Keoman defeated
the Courier-JourhGl for the Office of Pub
lie Printer. The sequel of the little con-
test before the Legislature at that time
was an occasionally bursting Of bile, ="
the flow Of which was not at all checked
by the very spicy passages between
johnson and Watterson on the subject
of the ''New Departure" The Press,
throughout the State, conceded the yioto-
ny 10 johnson, and did not hesitate to
give expression to the opinion. Waiter
son felt somewhat puiqed by this circum-
stance, and caused the breach 10 widen
between the two papers. Since he has
been absent in Europe, Mr.. Sears has
written and published few articles Gu
tirely personal 10 Col. Major, which
gave the latter oiiense The exact tenor
of those articles we DO not now remem-
Der. but have a memory that the pciiti-
cal course Of Col. Major was pretty Sc
yerely criticized. Immediately follow
ing this publication, Col. Major address
ell communication 10 the propristors Of
the Courisr-Journai, IN which he an
aounced, that in the event Of any furth-
er publication Of articles Of the same te-
nor Of those which had given him Of.

Bobbist's Pledge.

Bobbitfs Pledge.
Bobbitt is running the race for the
Legislature rs an ambiguous candidate.
lie has rcnounced his own democracy,
and is playing, as he conccives, very
shrcwd game for the Republican vote.
The chief boast Of Bobbitt's life, save
his chronic bng about his erudition, has
been his devotion TO, aud advocacy Of,
the "undying principles Of the Demo
cratic party In a letter written by
him on the tenth day Of March last, and
addressed 10 the Central Kentucky Ne,rs,
and published in that paper on the Goth
day of March, he assigns as a reason
why he should receive the nomination
by the Democratic party for the office to
which he now aspires, "becausc he has al
ways stood upon the Democratic plat
form, defending its creed, advocating its
timc-honored principles, and SUPPORT
ING ITs NOMINEES" How far Bobbitt
may have CONFIRMED to the exact truth
in making this statement, when, in fact,
he refused to vote for Judge Durham for
Congress, although privately and public
ly pledged to do so, is left for him and
the qualified voters of the county to de-
termine. In a recent speech delivered
at Highland, which is conceded to be
Republican precinct, he avowcd that he
purposely destroyed his own ballot for Dur
ham by writing his name on the faceofit.
Hewas then laying the foundation for the
race in which he is now engaged, and by
that act Of destruction Of his own vote
expected to secure favor Of the Republic
can party; at the same time hoping to
importune Democrats into the prcdica-
ment of voting for him on the ground Of
former adherence to the party. This is
decidedly too thin. The time has long
since passed, if, indeed, it ever was,
when such shallow and unworthy arti-
fee as this can be mdde to avail any
thing, save the destruction of the trick
ster who practices it. Every right
thinking man of any party has settled
into an unalterable conviction, that
man, who assumes to be a politician,
should faithfully and consistently adhere
to one party or the other. 1t is indeed
more tolerable in an aspirant f.. oticc
to proclaim his independence Of any par
ty organization, than to attempt a race
rs the candidate of both, or either, &c.
cording to circumstances and locality
This latter is the small game of the re-
doubtable, selfnamed Cicero-of-the--
mountains. In Highland he hangs out
the Radical sign in other portions of the
county he parades his Democracy. Such
conduct everywhere meets with Just
and unqualified condemnation.
One of Bobbitt's clamors is against
conventions. lie; us note now how far
his zeal on this subject accords with his
record. In the letter above referred TO,
written and published last March, which
was in fact his card Of announcement, he
says:

A FINAL WORD.

To the voters of this Senatorial Dis
trict, e-pfoposc in this the last issue Of
the JOURNAL before the election, to adj
dress a few plain words.
IL has rarely ever before fallen within
the range Of your opportunities to elect
70 the State Senate n more faithful and
efficient officer than Varnon, or a more
treacherous politician than Mr.. sneed.
We have no inclination to be personally
offensive 20 Mrs. but we are forced las we
conceive, by the uniform tenor of his
own course in political life, to say of him
that he is-tosally unflithful and unrelia-
bic in his political relations. We are
not advised just now what he assumes to
I've, Democrat or Radical. lie declines
to answer the question which has been
repeatedly put to him by Mr.. Varnon,
whether, if elected, he would vote for q
Radical or Democrat for the United
States Senate He has openly avowed
his purpose to vote for Beddow, the Re
publican candidate for the legislature in
Boyle. county; and yet the Republicans
Of the district are 50 thoroughly impress
sed with the conviction of his treachery,
that, as party, they will not endorse
him. Ii is Ian anomalous feature in n
political race, when a candidate is viewed
with distrust and suspicion by both par
ties. But the suspicion with which the
better class of Republicans look upon
Sneed amounts to persuasion of his
unworthiness, while all Democrats know
of certainty that he cannot be depend
cd upon.
1t is unnecessary to draw the contrast,
which may be expected from this plain
statement of Sneed's political character.
We do not propose to be eulogistic Of
Varnon. He has made himself better
known to this district than we could pos
sibly do by any newspaper article. As
suming that he is in every respect the
opposite of Sneed, the only question
worthy Of mention is, how arc you going
to vote Has any Democrat suffered him
self to be beguiled into the belief that
he will advance the interest of his party
by giving his vote 10 Sneedg If so, what
is the ground of his bcliefa We tell
you honestly and bluntly, and can prove
it, that he is further from being a Dem
ocrat to-day than any recognized leader of
the Republican party. And we say to
the Republicans Of this district, that
while it is not expected OF them, on ac-
count of political differences, that they
will vote for Varnon, if circumstances
should throw upon them the necessity of
choosing between an honest democrat anda
Mongrel, the manner in which they will
exercise that choice, must rest upon their
own consciences. 1t must remain with
them matter of individual conscience,
whether they will vote for a Democrat,
so avowed and so recognized, reputable
in his personal and political relations, or
for one-of whom We will not further
speak.

Wanted an Inspector OF BARTER Shops.
To the Editor IF TRe Star II wish to suggest 70
the District Legislature through your valuable
paper, (never heard that before, did you?) that
an inspector Of barber shops be appointed
whose salary shall consist Of free shaves and
hair-cuttings at all shops. / don't want the
situation. for I wouldn't like to try all BARRIERS
myself, but think some means should be at
hand to repress such dens of torture as that
under the St Jerrymanthus House. Every one
knows where 1t Is, in his own experience. It's up
on "X" street for one, on eth street for another,
as on the Avenue for another. It's worse than
Mark Twain's barber shop. When / was first
land lastl there, the artistic hair-dresser COM
menced by carding me down with a sharp
comb. didn't mind the hair, for supposed
It needs some degree of investigation or some
thing Of that sort, but when he plowed up the
and then went to pulling up my hair
with dull shears, the only sharp
part Of which were the points. know
about the points, for they went in where
the comb had marked of. The experienced
hairdresser paused in his torture TO talk with a
Island and the next picnic to Analostan. /
having pleaded for mercy, he scratched my
hair up in the latest Avenue STYLE only drawing
blood from one ear, and leaving both full OF
chips. He spent 12x minutes on a fancy touch
over the lett temple, leaving a Modoc stand
time to save my right eve from a murderous
assault Of the shears; and, ransoming myself
with 40 cents, departed, thanking NV stars for
my escape. have said nothing about the
shave l would willingly forget it, for it was
worse than the trimming. 1t was too pitiful
scribe. Oh, We legislators! men who shave and
who have your hair occasionally trimmed, will
you not, in the interests of poor humanity an
