THE NOMINATION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
WILLIAMS.

THE NOMINATION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
WILLIAMS
WASHINGTON, Dec 20.
Regarding the nomination of Attorney Gen
erai Williams as Chief Justice a member of
the Senate judiciary Committee, says the fact
that the committee did not ask the Senate to
act upon it before adjonrning COR the holidays,
should not be accepted as evidence that they
are not favorable to his confirmation. The
committee had agreed to report the nomination
favorably to the Senate. when certain political
opponents appeared and made charges, which if
sustained, affected Mr. Williams official integ-
rity The committee felt it to be their duty to
hear all the evidence that might be offered on
this point Tho Republican members favorable
to Mr. Williams believed that searching ex-
animation of the charges would rebound to his
credit and afford no occasion in the future for
complaints that the committee failed to allow
an opportunity to tnose opposed to state their
case and present their evidence. Thus far, no
evidence has been taken showing any wrong or
improper action on the part of Mr.. Williams
during his official life, and the member of the
committee says the investigation bids fair to re
suit in his viudication
Up TO the present time the committee have
not thought it necessary to notify Mr. Williams
dS W Tue udIure OI tne charges maze, or call
upon him for any explanation of them.
A Senator who canvassed the Senate says
there will be but few votes cast against Mr..
Williams when the nomination comes up for
acoion unless the committee reports adversely.
in which event the vote would be against him.
An impression has gone out that the Presi-
dent would withdraw Mr.. Williams name if
the committee report urfavorabiv, but there is
no foundation for it, He was asked few days
ago in regard to this very point, and replied
that before making the nomination he had CIV
en- the matter very earnest consideration. and
had arrived at the conclusion that Mr. Williams
was the best man that could be named for tn e
Office, and that it is now for the Senate to de-
termint whether his Judgment was wrong or
not The nomination was before them and
there it would remain until confirmed or not.
THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The House committee on public buildings is
not in anyway investigating the action of Su-
pervising Architect Mullett against whom
there are no charges of any kind, but examin
ing into the public buildings which have been
ordered by Congress, some of which have not
been commenced, to ascertain whether the ex-
penditures for this purpose cannot be reduced.

An Interesting Case.

A case has lately been entered on
Court involving principles of the
greatest Importance. 1t comes by
appeal from the United States Cir
cult Court for the District Of North
Carolina, aud turns upon the ques-
ton whether, under the civil rights
of law, criminal suits may be trans
ferred from State to Federal courts.
The case ARISES out of the murder,
nearly FIVE years ago, by Dunlap, a
colored Republican, of Gleason, a
white Democrat, in MeckIenburg
County, n. c., and the subsequent
removal of the case from the State
to the United States Circuit Court
on affidavit by Dunlap that oil the
county officers were Democrats ::
that no colored man had ever been
drawn or summoned on a jury in
that county, and that Justice was
denied him under the laws of the
State. The Supreme Court ordered
the case transferred, but when it
comes to trial, United States Judge
Cond dismissed it for want of iuris.
diction, decision from which Dun
lap appealed. As the docket of the
Supreme Court has large accumu-
lation of business, the case will not
probably be reached for a year or
two, and Dunlap, though once sen.
tanced to death, is now likely to die
of natural causes before the courts
decide where be is TO be tried.

The Iowa Autobiography Party.

Of the ninety-nIne counties in
the State of Iowa, only thirty.six
were represented IN the Des Moins
"Anti.Monopoly" Convention; which
indicates apathy on the part of the
Iowa people, touching the anti-mo-
nopoly business. But the complex.
ion of the convention sufficiently ac-
counts for this apparent indifference.
Thus, the Presiden5 of the concern
was q Democrat, while one of the
chief bottlecwashers was that emf
nent Liberal sheep tender, Mr.. J.
b. Grinnell. Nearly ell of the null
titudeous resolutions were composed
by Democrats, wherein shines con-
spicuously the genuines of Mr.. ]. p
Irish, Chairman of the Democrat tic
State Convention. The candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. Fred
O'Donnell, is ranting Du5uoue
Democrat which signifies a good
deal. In short, the whole affair was
begotton of sort of incestuous con.
junction between Democracy and
Liberalism and of such are all the
"antimonopoly" new party move
ments that have been started this
season in the name of the people. As
well might the Migrants of the par
ish set up to lead the people in a
movement for reform.-Mil,caukee

Destructive Storm in the Wisconsin
Tobacco District Hundreds of
Acres Used Up by Hail.

From the GAINESVILLE twi'.) Gazette, Aug IL
About three o'clock yesterday
afternoon tornado and hail.storm
broke at the northwest corner of the
town Of Porter, and swept with de-.
tructive force into u northeasterly
direction, laying waste the numerous
promising fields of tobacco in its
path. The destruction is complete,
the leaves of the tobacco plants be ng
ground into fragments, and in many
instances the plants uprooted by the
terrible force of the storm. w. Sla-
ter, whose tobacco crop is a total
wreck, thinks the tornado was about
our miles IN width, and that it spent
fits force in the town of Porter.
Union, Fulton, Center, Plymouth,
land GAINESVILLE all were visited by
severe rain and wind storms yester-
day, but the visitations were MOTH
ing compared with the Porter dis
aster. The tobacco was nearly ready
to cut, but better crop never was
gathered 10 Rock County than stood
upon the Porter fields yesterday
morning. But the half-hour storm
in the afternoon has reduced it to q
condition completely worthless. ID.
Cares tobacco house was blown
down, and some damage done to
grain in the shock.

Democratic Repentance and Good
Works.

The Democratic party, with the
customary zeal of a new convert,
who is young 10 the better life, but
old in sin, loses no opportunity to
testify its devotion 20 the principles
it once labored to destroy. For the
last eight years, and almost from the
time when it, with unanimous voice,
resolved that the var for the pres
ervation of the Union was failure,
IN Its conventions great and little, it
has been profuse 10 its professions of
acceptance of all the results which
that war achieved, and which it la
bored so earnestly to prevent.
But does that party bring forth
fruits meet for repentance Does it
ally itself with those men whom it
acknowledges as its political apostles,
who have guided its erring feet into
wisdom's ways2 Does it join in hearty
cooperation to uphold the hands of
that party who have achieved the
results which it accepts? No, it SIM
ply accepts the results" When the
war closed it accepted the destruc-
ton of slavery, but fought to the last
against universal suffrage. Defeated
in this, it again accepted the results,
but again back-slid into opposition
to the Fifteenth Amendment. Again
defeated, it accepts the results, but
'Vs uUSUinGy 10 the party to whom
these results are due, is still as bitter,
it's opposition as determined. 1t viii
ifies with persistent oalumny the Re-
publican President; it opposes with
the most obstinate pertinacity the
men and the measures Of the Repub-
lican party, its policy at home and
abroad. Every effort to gather in
the full fruits of the war, and to por-
petuate its results, finds resolute
opponent in the Democratic party
whose resistance only terminates
with hopeless defeat, and then, 10, q
conversion as miraculous as that of
Saul OF Tarsus. The party accepts
the results, but the enquiry what
wilt thou have nae to do is never
heard from Democratic lips. In short,
the professions of their acceptance of
these results are so palpably insin>
cere that they will deceive no one;
not even the least unwary.

Republi0anism in Mississippi

Under the leadership Of the un-
fiinching Union men of the South the
Republican party, which had only .
feeble foothold there at the close of
the war, is calling into its ranks
many of its former strongest oppo-
nents. Prominent among the COM
vcrts to the Republican faith is Mr..
|. G. Patrick, an ex.confederate off,
Ger who has recently established a
newspaper at Greenville in that
State. In his Statutory Mr.. Patrick
thus talks to the people of MISSISSIPPI
pi:
Having served in the Confederate
army until the close of the war
and in the bullet department-I feel
that | have a right to speak to the
boys and young men of Mississippi ;
and to them | would especially up.
peal. Democracy, Conservatism, and
Liberal Republicanism, so-caIed. are
all one and the same; and outside of
the bulIyism, ebicanery, and fraud
with which and by which, they seek
to control elections, they are utterly
destitute of principles. Let them
be forever abandoned by our young
men The Republican party has
got along successfully without you,
and il can still do so but IL can get
along better with your help. You
can be little or no service to the
country, or yourselves, outside of its
ranks. If there are evils and abus-
es to be corrected, here is the instru-
mentality by which to correct them.
Come with me! and let US push for
ward the column, till we make Mis-
sissippi what she was designed and
destined to be, the happiest and
most beautiful sister 10 the family of
States.

County Politics.

Now that the conventions tor
nominating delegates to the State
convention are over, it is time TO
look about for proper and fitting
candidates for the Republican coun-
ty ticket, to BIO elected this Fall.
We say elected, because if the selec-
tion OF candidates by the County
Convention accords with the wishes
OF the Republicans in respect to
ability, integrity and special fitness
for the duties required, the ticket
put forth will be elected by the usu-
al good majority.
The County Central Committee
has called the convention to meet
at Lancaster on Wednesday, Sept.
10th, at which a candidate will be
nominated for each of the offices of
State Senator and Superintendent of
County Schools. These officers are
the chiefest in Importance to the
people-the one to guard the legis-
lative and tho other the educational
interests of the country. For the Of
flee of State Senator the desire seems
to be general that the present in
cumbent, Hon. J. G. Holloway, be
re.nominAted. Considering the Gus
tom which has prevailed in this
county for a number of years of re-
nominating this officer for second
term, the recognized ability Of the
Senator az q legislator and the claims
Of locality, Mr.. Holloway's re-nomin-
alton will in no wise disappoint the
wishes of the macs of Republicans or
disregard the rights of any section of
the county.
Hon. j. Allen Barber was the first
representative of the Republican
party of Grant county in the Senate,
being elected for the years 1856 and
81 aud since that time Senator
Holloway has been the only repre-
sentative selected from the central
portion Of the county. He has
made an efficient, capable officer and
has proven himself in every way
worthy OF the trust reposed in him.
