OUR very worthy Vice President,
Colfsx, has been recently engaged with
Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, in the old
fashioned game of 81 tickle you and you
tickle me-" 1t is doubtless remembered
by our readers that Pomeroy was recent
" a candidate for reelection to the Uni
ted States Senatorship, from Kansas ;
that he endeavored to secure his election
by bribery, and was thoroughly exposed
before the Legislature of that State by
Col. York, which exposition resulted in
his ruiuous defeat and disgrace. Pome-
roy, whose term of Office has not yet ex-
pired, the other day made great show
of confdonce in his ability to manifest
his innocence, by demanding a commit
tee, composed entirely of his political OPP
ponents, for investigation of the public
charges against him. The Speaker, Vice
President Colfax, unquestionably pursu-
ant to a private understanding with
Pomeroy, appointed the committee, but
placed on it majority of Republicans,
who were not only politically but person
ally favorable to POmeroy. Among the
number were those two far-famed and
widely-renowned washers of crime.
Buckinsh"@ ssnd Freliaghhaysen. Al
though it is scarcely within the limits of
possibility that the Senate will have time
to 90 fairly through the investigation,
yet the point of this sly piece of strategy
comes in here. Coliax is entangled in
the meshes of the Credit MObilier Swim
die. The testimony all goes to show
this, and as yet no countervailing proof
has been brought forward except the
edand unsupported word ofthe great
smiler." There is a strong probability
that articles of impeachment will be pre-
ferred against Mr.. Colfax, and when the
trial comes it will afford him great consola-
ton to know, that Pomeroy, to whom
he has rendered such invaluable service
will be one of the judges. So the game
proceeds. In these high places We see
theamusing sight oftwo immaculate pub
lie functionaries scratching each others
backs.

Cor. c. +. Bowman, Of Boyle county, is
being urged to become a candidate for the
State Senate, in the District compoied Of
Bowie. Casey, Garrard and Lincoln counties
We have no doubt Col. 4. would make an ex-
cellent Senator, but as Boyle had the last
choice Of candidates, we think she might afford
to stand aside. There are plenty Of able and
honorable gentlemen, fully comreieut, in the
other counties composing the district. We
could suggest Hon. Geo. X. Mckee, Of this
county; Hon. T. w. Varnon, Lincoln or Col.
Frank Wolfard, Of Casey. Our 6rst -ss,,,.0Ice
would be Hon. Geo. X. Mckee, but if the
choice was allows.l tTis county, ard he would
not Acc :. the nomination, we would also
mention w. d. Hopper or b. VI. Burdett,
Esqs, both Of whom are able gentlemen, fully
competent, and very popalar.-Laaeoaer Nsus.
To portion of the above clipping We
yield the hartiest assent. That Boyle had
the last choice of candidates is true, and
that there are other honorable gentlemen
in the district competent in every respect
to discharge the varied duties incumbent
upon State Senator, will be likewise
conceded. We have no word of dispar-
agement TO say either of the Hon. G.. X.
Mckee, Col. Woodford or b. NJ. Bur
dett; but we have an especial commenda
ton for the Hon. Thos. w. Varnon.
But few men in the State of Kentucky
enjoy a ripper Legislative experience
than he. With the usages and peculiar
rules of parliamentary bodies, he is fully
conversant. His good judgment, moral
standing, and general usefulness have
been recognized by the different Assem-
blies of which he has been Il member.
He is now the representative Of this
county, and besides being on many I'M
portant committees, he is chairman Of
the Committee ON Codes of Practice. he
is likewise a member Of the Joint Com
mite on Revision of the Statutes. AT
another tine, and alta most critical period,
he was chairman Of the Committee on
Ways aud Means. There is one reason
why Mr.. Narnon should be given by his
party the nomination, which We regard
as peculiarly good; that is, the fact that
he is now a member of the Joint Com
mittee on the Revision of the Statutes.
The labors Of the Revisors cannot he
completed this session. A part of their
work will require supervision at the next
session of the Legislature, and since Mr..
Varnon has gotten fairly into the work,
xethink "A srfe lv1ay that no could be
better able to assist in the completion
than new hand.
While We most earnestly recommend
Mr.. Varnon to the Democracy of the
district, we would counsel, in the out
set, against such bitterness of rivalry as
will mar the harmony of the party.

COUNTY CLAIMS.

Among the bills now pending in the
Legislature, We notice one providing
that all claims against county shall he
filed by the claimant with the clerk of
the County Court, at least ten days be-
fore the first day Of the Court Of Claims.
The necessity Of such law is eRN ap-
parent by the analogy Of the law which
requires an ordinary proceeding in tho cir
cult courts or quarterly courts to be fled,
and notice thereof given to the debt
or, at least ten days before the first day
of the term at which the cause il set
for trial. In the case Of . claim against
the county, the latter stands in the stti-
tude Of defendant, and Is represented
in the court Of claims by her attorney.
AZ the Law now exists, the attorney has
no notice of the claim until il is given to
the clerk of the court in term time, and
frequently before he has time to consider
ewes q question Of law which may arise
upon il, q motion for allowance Is made,
and the claim rushed hastily through,
when it may be one for which the coun-
ty is not in fact responsible. 1t may
likewise happen that, although the cogp-
ty j. properly chargeable with claim, il
the amount thereof is reasonable, yet the
charge is so exorbitant that the necessity
arises of scaling it. In such q case l.the
attorney for the county has not had rea-
Sensible opportunity for investigating it,
and ascertaining the fact upon which it
is based, the taxpayers of the county are
afflicted with burden which, in justice,
they ought not to bear
The character of proceeding in the
court Of claims is altogether too much in
the nature Of er parte work. The advant-
age is almost, if not altogether, on the
side Of the claimant. To make the adj
vantages equal, or more properly and
yet more commonly speaking, to have
the county and claimant given equa-
chances, some law Unnecessary by which
the county, through her attorney, may
have fair opportunity to marshal such
testimony as can be reasonably adduced
againsts claim which is either altogether
fraudulent or extravagant in its amount.
We do not favor this law for the pur-
pose of throwing any obstacle in the
way Of a just claimant, but simply to
have fair test given to claims which
may he regarded as unjust. a real and
bona fde creditor cannot be injured by
it. An unjust one is only checkmated.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.

As a rule, class legislation is obnox-
ious. 1t is no funeral Of ours, but we
cannot refrain from expressing the strong
esl disapproua,iva of the recent action of
the Senate of Kentucky IN passing bill
t. empower Charles Rufer, of tlse-city of
Louisville, to retail spirituous Liquors at
Lebanon Junction, Bullitt county. This
county had procured the passage of un
act prohibiting within its limit the ssle
of any intoxicating beverage. The sa-
looms were all closed out by the act, and
Charles Rufer, who has made fair es-
tate in tho city of Louisville by the sale
ofmixed wines and rotten oysters, see
ing what good thing it would be to get
n monopoly Of the business Of WHISKY
selling in Bullitt county, makes his ap-
plication to the assembled Lycurguses at
Frankfort to be specially licensed for
t "a purpose. To the shame Of the
Senate, or rather to those Of its members
who voted aye, the bill passed. Now
this. is none of our business in particular;
it does not affect this section, but when
such high-handed, legislative outrage
is inflicted upon any community by any
legislative assembly, il deserves to be
marked and unstiutingly condemned.
Democrats sho voted 49, measure,
can WITH fair show of consistency in
deed, aninsadvert upon the partisan leg
i,lation Of Radical Congress- Bullitt
county wants TO Danish whisky from her
limits; her citizens obtain the passage of
an aet FOR the purpose, and no sooner is
the sale stopped and the gate shut down,
than a foreigner thrusts himself to the
the front, and asks the special privilege
Of inhicting upon this county the very
evil, in the exercise Of which she does
not tolerate her own people, The grant
iIg Of the privilege by the Senate, SO far
a. il was able to grant it, was gross
at Of injustice to the citizens Of Bullitt
county, aud finely illustrates what one
maa with whisky and money can do in
manipulating Senators, who should, at
least. have enough of pride to resist the
efforts of an over-reaching Dutchman to
make eats paws and jackasses Of them.
II affords us pleasure to note that the
Senator from this district, the Hon. A.
@. Talbot, siontly opposed the indecent
thing
The matter Is u no special consequence
in itself to any outside of Bullitt county;
but We observe in il such painful anal
ogy to that direfnl character Of legisla-
non IN Congress, which has done more
10 bay waste the fair South than the raw
pges Of war. that the question becomes
pertinent, did Democrats do this thingf

HON. n. q. vANwINKLE.

Leave has been obtained in the House
Of Representatives, to bring in bill APP
propriating sufficient sum to erect a
monument over the remains Of the Hon
+. l.. Vanwinkle, late Secretary Of
State.
Mr.. Vanwinkle was well and favora-
bly, known both in this Judicial and Con
gressional district In the year 1856
he was elected Conunonwcalth's attorney,
and discharged the duties of that office
with an amount Of real, ability and in
tegrity, that left no room for assault up
on his diligence, or charges sgainst his
official integrity. A violator Of the law
never purchased from him a dismissal Of
an indictment.
In the year 1860 he was Elector for
the State at large on the Bell and Ever
EFT ticket.
On the accession Of Gov. Bramlette to
the gubernatorial chair, he was made
Secretary of State, aud died during his
incumbency.
Kentucky cannot afford to honor all
her dead, who in life carved for them
selves a place in history, but some less
worthy than Vanwinkle, of far less natu-
raj ability, and of no greater amount of
service to the State, has the honor been
done Of erecting suitable monuments to
their memory, and we see no good reas-
on why this man shallliein sn unmarked
grave. Neutrality-suspicious. his powers
were mstured. Had he lived longer, Ken
lucky at his death would have felt that
she did herself honor in honoring him.

LAST week, in the House Of Represen-
tatives, bill was laid on the table which
proposed the taxation Of bank stock and
railroads for county and municipal pur-
poses. We had thought that it was one
of the cardinal features of the Democrat
ic party, that taxation should be equal.
One of its maxims, and political catch
words, has been equal rights to all and
exclusive privilege, to none" Why this
action was taken is one Of those occur
rences, the motive Of which, like the YER
diet Of jury, is so much involved in
mystery that God could not foreknow il.
Certainly we cannot say that banks and
railroads, that have nothing but money to
back them, are more iayorably regarded
byour wise and upright legislators than
poor men who dig the soil, and count
their treasure by the nickel Perish the
thought.

THE news from Spain is to the effect
that King Amadeus manifests disposi-
ton to abdicate the crown, in which case he
will resign his power into the hands Of
Cortes. The Kings disposition to quit
the throne is attributed to the difference
between him and his ministry, which
arose in November last. The Carlists
are making serious demonstrations in
Navarro and Guipisoon.
