endangcring our already threatened free

The Ohio Democracy is thus re-
marked upon by the New York Sun
and neither of the IFS will be much
doubted:
II they are successful in this contest,
and are cheered BY sufficient number of
victories in other states during the COM
ing fall. Senator Thurman will stand ut
the bead of the opposition for 1876 IT.,
on the other hand, they dsasirously fail, II
will be the end of the Democratic party,
and the distinguished senator will he lees
formidable than his friends wish to have
him.
Thus the Memphis Avalanche
Commodore Vanderbilt, who has been
very sick, has recovered. When lie dies
the railroad monopoly will 60 TO pieces,
fortunately there is no perpetuity in es-
tates in this country, and the people
should, by legislation, preveat such ero-
neous accumulation Of power in the hands
of few. This may appear TO be COM
munism, but il may be called by whatever
| name suits the taste Of our readers.
The Bloomington Leader sces happy
way on, Of the trouble; surrounding tho
farmers Of the West and Of Illinois par
,icularly and advises them, instead OF
spending 60 much capital and labor in the
raising Of grain, TO engage in the manu-
| faciure OF butter and cheese and in the
/ southern part Of the state, OF salt, and "a.
ser,. ,ns, miNNons Of dollars might IL
this way bo retained and brought into tn
state.
The Springfield Journsr advises ,h,
same course aud says;
Instead of pu,iing in so much corn
why not put down their fields in grass
and turn their attention to the manuiac
| ture of butter and cheese? They will
dnd the investment layins large and
steady dividends, from he fac, that there
is an unfailing demsnd Tor both products.
1t is becoming evident thu, Carpenter
will soon have to rise and explain. lie
cannot follow out hi. course of dignifed
silence as successfully rs Beechcr did un.
der Lot very dismilar circumstances
The st. Louis 'D,mocra, remarks edi,o-
rally:
Tho New York Tribune does no,
mince matters with Senator Carpenter
Not only does it adhere to its charges OF
Infamous conduct, and dare him to prose-
cute "a journal Of ample pecuniary respon.
sibili,y,' thus bringing the question to
the test of legal proof, but It plsinl y say
that the newspapers friendly TO Carpen-
ter, which insist that he ought to punish
the slarderer," run before they are called
and that se will not dare TO face any legal
investigation. The Tribune makes ii
| very clear that il il is in error, IL has taken
pains to ascertain tho truth, and tho.
roughly believes that its statements can be
substantia,ed. As that paper well says
this chief defender of the salary grab
Carpenter, is also the third officer of the
government; and, in the event OF the
death of the president and vice presden,
who is even now in the hands Of physi.
cians-this Same Carpenter would become
president. Apart from the disgrace OF
having man in such high position guilty
of behavior so ,c,ndalous, there 10 the
danger that he might come to occupy q
position yet higher. The exposure of the
Tribune, if sustained by evidence, is
therefore fully justified, and is but the dis.
charge OF public duty Of Journalism.
