Blaine for the Presidency. f
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The evening
administration organ to-day is moved TO an
editorial state ment relative to a paragraph
sent some time since in these dispatches re-
garding the movement to nominate Speaker
Blaine for the Presidency in 1876. 1t says:
"The recent enthusiastic mention of
Speaker Blaine's name for the Presidency
at dinner table sitting OF few gentlemen
of some political prominence, seems to have
caused quite ferment in various quarters,
and the Protectionisss of Pennsylvania are
disposed to make warfare upon the propos-
ed nomination, on the ground that Mr..
Blaine is not sound on the tariff question;
that is to say, though not a Free-trader, he
is supposed to favor reduction on the high
tariff rates where reduction is just
and practicable. Mr.. Blaine is too
astute politician not to see that this early
mention of his name for the Presidency is
calculated to do him more harm than good,
and so we are safe in assuming that the
present talk about him in that connection
has been without his instigation or consent.
But If the Pennsylvania ProtectioDists real
" go on in this laundering way of declar-
ing opposition to him in advance, they will
put the Free Traders up to considering the
question of his eligibility as a candidate on
that platform; and it is likely that the Free
Traders will have quite as much to say in
regard to the question Who shall be our
next President? as the Protectionists, espec-
islly should the former be reinforced, as
seems probable, by the formidable orgsni-
cation Of producers known as the Patrons
of Husbandry. The high tariff men had bet
ter not be too vOciferous in proclaiming
whom they will or wont have for Presi-
dent"
The Labor Question i'm Politics.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
A political organization calling itself the
Workingmen of America, with ex-senator
Pool as chairman of the Central Commit
| tee, is preparing to open headquarters here.
! The manipulat DTS of this body are the same
| as arranged the nomination of Judge Davis
at Columbus. They claim that they have
a complete organization in 20 States, and
that among the chairmen of these State
committees are number of the most
prominent politicians of both parties in the
country. Propositions are now pending to
enter into full cooperation with the Farm
ers' G ange scheme on paper at the head
quarters here. This involves the CONSOLE
dation of all the labor organizations in the
country. As yet, however, none OF the
managers here have any claims to being
classed as working men.
Four Distinguished Chairmen.
Four panels were left in frescoing the
room by the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, with the understanding that they
were to be filed by the portraits of four of
the most eminent chairmen of that COM
mittee since the foundation of the govern
ment. These have finally been filed at the
urgent request of Senator Cameron, but 1t
has not yet been ascertained who made the
selections. The portraits painted with this
understanding are those Of Cameron, Sum-
ner, VIM. Allen, of Ohio, and Henry Clay.
Mr.. Cameron has had his painted over for
the second time.
The Last Of Franking.
The public printer is working his force to
its utmost capacity in order to finish all do
cuments ordered by Congress in time TO
have them ranked before the Both of June.
He expects to have 100000 volumes ready
by the 18th of that month, and will notify
Congressman to that effect, so that they can
come and distribute their quotas if they
see fit.
The Louisiana Case Again Before the
Supreme Court. .-4
Special to the Louisville Courier journal.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The fact is
not generally known that the Louisiana
question is again before the U. S. Supreme
- xuhiah If tuo
court shall do its duty, will completely
strip the Kellogg usurpation from the only
color of title under which the President in
terposed his bayonets. The court last win
ter refused a writ of prohibition to be di-
rected to Judge Durell, which was demand
ed by Col. p. Phillips, counsel for War
moth, Wharton, and others in the cause of
Kellogg VS.. Warmoth; but at the same time
the court went to say that an appeal would
| lie in the case on final decree. The pc
titioners therefore filed an application for
an appeal before Judge Durell on the 10th
of December last, which be held under sd-
visement till the 25th of January, 1873,
and then refused. The petitioners
now, by Mr.. Phillips, their
counsel, have asked the Supreme
Court to allow an appeal, as mandamus
QT6CIlDB UuuSe OuIbu W dnOW Oil oPPOois
This proceeding being exparte, the United
States have not appeared by counsel on one
side or the other. 1t is probable that an
answer will be given by the court on Mon
day next, and that they will of course shirk
their duty and side with the carpet-bag
thieves on some pretense or other. The
petition claims that the decree of Durell in
dicating the right between two rival boards
and requiring transfer OF the election pa
pers, returns and documents to the Kellogg
Board, is in its operation on the parties and
on the subject of litigation such decree
or order as entities the defendants to an APP
peal. Divested of all legal technica lilies it
will be seen that the real issue 10 be decid-
ed by the Supreme Court is whether sim
gle United States Circuit Judge can finally
reverse the choice of the people of Louisi-
ana at the polls and set up government
by his own individual hat, to be enforced
by the army, without any chance or Cppor-
tunity whatever of revision by the highest
court of the nation.
