fectiy well understood from the begin
ming of his first term. Intellectual
qualities in Secretary would be an
obstacle rather than a recommended

qualifications ? None. He requires
obsoquiousness. Nothing else. Think

body as any one is likely to- whom
Grant could get confirmed.
Then as to moral qualities, why
should President stick at the San
born contracts, who himself began by
making appointments to his Cabinet to
pay off his pecuniary obligations, and
was afterward disgracefully involved in
Black Friday?
No, Richardson's the man for Grant
as Grant is the man for Richardson.
Let them stick together.

COMING To.

The Independents" and even some
Republican organs are coming to their
senses about as rapidly as any reason
able man would expect. True, the
Jackson Courier reiterates its dictum
that the name Democracy is "indissol-
ubly' connected with secession, while
it negatives our question whether New
Hampshire and Connecticut were en-
dorsing secession when they endorsed
that which is "indissolubly" connected
with it. But then it kindly informs us
that
With a live, liberal, honest and
Statesmen-Ike policy, under the
leadership of men who the
people respect for their ability, firm
ness and integrity, standing upon a
platform broad enough and strong
enough to hold all those who intend to
see the affairs Of the State administer
ed with economy, and whom will not
hesitate to apply the pruning knife,
that the bleeding pores may be stopped.
the Democracy may achieve a signal
victory in November.
This reduces tie difference between
the Courier and the UNION AND AMER
ICAN to a mere case of misunderstood
ing, for the policy above laid down as
promising success is none other than
what we understand and advocate as
Democracy undefled.
The Nesc York Times, Republican
organ of many years standing, goes
even further, and Ecites among the
good effects" likely to result from the
Louisiana discussion, the return to
power of the Democracy In that and
other Southern States. When
such journal speaks Of
Democratic rule as "good
effect, things are veering round in the
right direction. The Times says with
much emphasis: "The debate will, we
believe, have some good effects, indie
pendent of Senator Carpenters bill.
1t has called attention to the outrageous
evils which exist In several of the
Southern States; it has broken substan-
tally whatever hold the Southern Gov
ernments may have had on the Repub-
ican party, and it has made it clear
that the party must either reform some
of these governments by extreme
measures, or withdraw from them all
countenance and support, even though
they should fall into Democratic hands
in consequence"

Some time ago Congress authorized the
appointment of \. =. LangfOrd to be Super
infendent of the Yellowstone Park. The
appointment was made at his own solicita-
ton. and he was to fill the office without
salary. Now it is stated that he has pre-
scented a bill to Congress, amounting to
the modest sum of 81, 900, by way of pay
ment for his services. As he has had the
place not to exceed two years, if
for that long a time, it is thought
that the sum will amply remuner-
ate him. In this connection, it appears
that while Langford is a stOckholder and
director of a national bank in Helena,
Montana. he also holds the position OF
United States Bank Examiner for the Pa
cific Coast. 1t is charged that he has been
writing letters and using other means in
his power for the purpose of bOlstering up
various weak and lettering banks in his
field of operations, and that he has recently
been notified by Comptroller Knox that a
repetition Of the otiense will cost him his
position. Altogether, Langford seems 70
be an official of the most undesirable stripe
whose place would he better supplied by an
honest man. Ii is understood that Secre-
tary Delano will sustain him in his demand
for So, 900 compensation.

THE New Orleans, jackson and
Great Northern, the Mississippi Gen.
trail and the Illinois Central Railroads,
have been consolidated under one COM
panv. entitled the New Orleans, St.
Louis and Chicago Railroad Company.
As the line extends from New Orleans
to Chicago, it Will be seen at once that
this is powerful combination.
When the commerce of the coun-
try bursts its artificial bonds
and flows again through its nat
ural channels, what an artery of trade
the Mississippi's course will be! The
river and the railroad will mutually
restrain each other from injurious ex-
cesses. One Will have the advantage
of the other in cheapness of transpor-
tation, and the other will have an adj
vantage in speed. While the company
Just formed will be one of great power,
it will be free from the disfavor which
dread of monopoly would inspire.

a NOTABLE instance of negro enter
prise is given by the SonaeruiIIe Falcon:
Three years ago three colored men
Manuel Persons, Moses Persons and
Addison Lewis-bought farm about
six miles below Somerville, containing
near two hundred acres, for which they
agreed to pay $500 in annual INSTALL
third of the sum at each
payment. At this date the last cent
has been paid, and they now hold a
good title to the farm. They started
with no capital except five mules.
They had to buy everything else, and
in addition support their families.
They performed all the work them
selves. 1t is safe to surmise that they
did not lose much time in running to
political meetings and conventions, and
hurrahing for white Radical candI-
dates.

WHEN Mr.. Sumner undertook to re-
sist Grants San Domingo policy, he
was punished by being dismissed sum-
marily from the Craftsmanship of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. which gave him more pain than
Brooks "bludgeon, and retired him
to grief and melancholy for the rem
nant of his days. The old feeling
which thus degraded Mr.. Sumner was
exhibited in the absence Of the Repub-
hcan leaders of the Senate on the 9th

memory of the dead Senator. Morton
was sick and absent. Carpenter was
silent. Edmunds fingered only short

Reputation VIII Not Go Down with

the People of Tennessee-A Terrific
Blast Against the Memphis Conspir.
ators.
From the GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf.
We have seen a circular issued by
Memphis politicians Tor people they
prefer perhaps to be called which lays
down as the first, middle and last
plank for platform that no candidate
will be supported by the signers unless
pledged to tax not exceeding 20 cents
on every hundred dollars, This wise
circular gives notice that its signers
viii advocate low taxes without regard
to the fate of parties. Indeed careless
ness nay recklessness as to the fate of
parties appears 20 be the leading idea
Of the trainers of that platform. They
might had they deemed it prudent,
have said that they were utterly reck-
less as to the fate of the State, the
people, credit, honor and good faith.
1t Is apparent however, and it was not
perhaps necessary TO declare it on the
face Of the instrument.
Such platforms may suit Memphis,
which we doubt. We are confident
that it VIII not be supported by the
people of West Tennessee, and we know
that Middle Tennessee will not seriously
entertain such proposition. Our peo-
pie know too well that public and pri-
vate faith travel together. They are
inseparable The actual pecuniary loss
growing out Of a dishonest public pol
lev and loss of credit is more than
double the taxes necessary to sustain
the public credit.
1t is preposterous to demand lower
taxes when they are already lower than
in most other States, when Kentucky
has higher taxation with no public
debt. Our State tax is not burden
some, and the cry for retrenchment Is
meaningless when We know that the
government has been administered
with rigid economy.
The present law was triumph of the
low tax party, and all they expected;
but when it is discovered that through
a careful and economical administra-
ton of the law and rigid collection of
taxes, the present revenue will pay IN
terest and expenses for this year at
least, with the help ofthe old taxes, they
move for further reduction. 1t looks
very much as if the design were not to
have low taxes, but to defeat the effort
to meet our obligations.
If it were not for the rarity of rings
and schemes for speculation, it would
appear that there was still some rail-
road interest to subserve, or that there
was an effort to depreciate State secur-
titles and buy them up as a grand spec
ulation.
We cananswer for Montgomery coun-
ty that she will never cast a vote for
such proposition as that, so utterly
false and absurd in its pretensions.

GEN. SHERMAN is tired of Washington
life and society. We are enabled to state
authoritatively that he will re-occupy his
residence in this city in October, with the
purpose of permanently remaining here.
The act creating the office of General pro-
vides that that officer shall reside in Wash
ington unless the President shall give him
permission TO establish headquarters else
where. The requisite permission has been
obtained. About the time of his removal
the General will take unto him a son-in-
law.-St. Louis Globe

poor Colfax, now that he is out of
Office. In its issue of April %, the
Washington Republican makes this
cruel thrust at the chronic Senator:
Schuyler Colfa1 has written a letter

word that should be used to character
ize it. Faithful and discreet friends of

avoid giving it any publicity, as Schuy-
ler's attempt to resume place as lead
or Will not add to the good name OF
the organization. Let him be satisfied
with a back seat. He may feel lonely
lust now, but let him be patient. The
people are getting tired of frauds, and
the party is purging itself of them with
such rapidity that he will soon have
plenty of company. Already he may
find congenial spirits among the ranks
of unemp loyed christian statesmen.

cruelty

A bill to revive the income tax at the
rate of 5 per cent above $1,000, and 10
per cent. on all incomes above $4,000,
was presented to the House to-day by
Mr.. Fort Republican,, of Illinois, pre-
ceded by a preamble reciting that it
was based on the recommendation of
the Presidents recent veto message for
increased taxation. 1t is not thought
that this or any other bill looking to
an increase of internal taxation can be
passed through the House at this ses-
sion, and the introduction of this meas
ure to-day is intended doubtless to be
an imitation threat at Eastern capital,
in the interest of which, the imitation
lists persist, the President vetoed the
Senate bill. The new tax bill, how
ever, was referred to the Ways and
Means Committee.
