WARMOTH

Warmoth was a sort of Pizarro, equally
obscure in origin, audacious in action and
successful in conclusions. He was West
ern boy. With some business habits and
love OF money, acquired in doing the meni-
al work of printing office, but his aspira-
tons were above the common. There was
freshness, vigor and stature about the
fellow which gave him some ascendency
In vulgar minds. To look upon he is very
tall, long-legged and straight, with broad
shoulders and IL shallow chest, and on his
long neck he wears a garrote collar, which
keeps him rather stiff1y up. and his sallow
skin receives some ornament from remar-
kably long and pretty mustache, which
comes down over his lean chops, while his
eyes is like portent, full of sort of sallow
light, and he understands its power and
makes it flame out on small occasions, to
the great terror of the old rebels, who
think that when he gives it dramatic

stupidity of the average Southerner in
matters of common sense more than this
superstitouS consideration for WarmOths
everlasting. | have been in the mans
presence two or three times, and L admitted
that he was a magnetic tyrant. pert and
audacious young man; but as to any depths
of character which he may have, they
seemed to me to exist no more than in some
of your New York ward politicians, who
were great people during the reign of
Tweed and mere gutter snipes after Tweed
tumbled.
Through all the muta tions, adventures
and escapades OF his administration he has
held fast to the great governing principle
of thrift; and although he loves fine
looking woman, no matter whose property
she may be, he has been seldom known To
sacrifice his savings for either his pleasures
or his ambition.

1t makes no difference to the South now
whether the s'iron-clad'' or test-oath of
1862 is repealed by Congress or not, and
therefore all tears shed over its defeat will
be wasted. The people of this section have
been entirely relieved. by the passage of
law, in 1871, which virtually abolished the
test oath. As the case now stands, all or
any one who sympathized with the South in
the war has to do is simply to declare he
cannot take the test-oath, and he is then
permitted to take the oath provided for
that class whose disabilities have been re-
moved, or who were never under any disa-
bilities.-RichmOnd Enquirer.

KELLOGG.

The Custom House Clique put up against
Warmoth's candidate a person by the name
of Kellogg, an Illinois carpet Dagger who
has been occupying an obscure position in
the United States Senate for several years
past. THIS man is a sort of compromise
between a cross roads trader and country
lawyer, with weakness of purpose thrown
in to give him some identity. His back
bone, if it lies anywhere, is in his J, gs, and
he has neither courage or moral, mental
nor physical character, so far as has been
detected. Under Warlnoth's machinery be
has been declared beaten for Governor of
the State, and he now resumes the fight in
the United States Courts, while Warmoth
has been firing off the whole CULVER of his
State authority to break up the coalition.
and the contest would be an amusing one
were il not for the fact that it seems TO lead
directly to a collision where any body may
perish but the wretched projectors of this
stup id business.

We believe all candid persons are of one
mind about our late State election-that it
was the fairest expression of the people had
for many years, and that the candidates re-
turs4ed by the proper authorities as elected
are for integrity and capacity far ahead of
any who have held office for the four years
past. This result, however. is to be upset
by intervention of . United States court,
under a recent amendment of the Constitu-
ton and the enforcement laws, and by the
presence of national troops.
