CHANGE OF NAME.

The Mtcitigcmcer, of yesterday, gives
us "A piece of information. 1t says that
We are trying to throw The lndepen-
dents" of their guard. This is the first
time that we have ever known that there
were any Independents running in this
district. We knew that there were two
tickets in the field. One nominated 10y
the Radical party, and composed OF
names of men who have never been so
ukcwarm in Radicalism rs to be willing,
themselves, to be known as Independents.
Certainly this term cannot be applied to
the Mteltiqencer'S Congressional candi-
date. He is SO far identified with the Rad
zeal administration as to have received.
and still hold, a good office, at its
hands. If he is an Independent, then
every one of the $4,000 Radical office
holders in the country, might just as will
come out and say that they, too, are In
dependents. But the country would not
believe them, any more than the people
here will believe that General Corr is
not a prominent member of the straight
out Radical party of West Virginia.
The other ticket has been nominated
by the Democratic party, and is composed
of men known To be honest and straight
forward in their Democratic sentiments,
SO much so, that they are not ashamed Of
their party name. These men are un-
compromisingly opposed TO all the
Vaccinations of the party which
has wrought SO much desolstion and cor
ruption in the land. They will, each
and all, be ever found foremost in the
fight against the corrupt Rings which an
INSCRIPTIONS administration and Con-
cress have encouraged and fos,crcd
throughout the land.
And though our enemies are SO afraid
Of the issues before the people to-day;
though they arc DESTROYS of ignoring them
even to the extent of changing the name
of their party; though they are forced to
90 back many years to find any subject
that they are willing to allude to in this
canvass; yet We can inform them most
decidedly that whenever the occasion
hall arise to wage positive warfare
s s the unnatural commingling of
the races by force; against nepotism;
T 1Se Mobiiier, Boss SHEPHERD, SAN
.aenJIyNE moiety, and all other
t R;nDs Of like nature, land their name is

schemes OF fraud and pecuisl,oh' ,"en

Ar LAST litsle life 6as been infsssd

day nothing else scarcely, was talked
Of The Democratic ticket babe fair to
be defeated in this county from pure In
ertness and carelessness.- There never
was deader campaign than this has
been so far. In such cases the majority
party always suffers. It is during sucn
Gains that the minority steals ieYeso-.
ries. 1t was this lethargy in the party
that threatened the defeat of Mr.. Pan
NELL last year when he was opposed by
a man who shall be nsmeless in these
columns, until the REGISTER kicked
up breeze that brought out a
vote and with it success. So this year.
We were drifting into disaster, and all
the crew standing with hands in their
pockcts. We needed life; we needed
vim. This has now been infused, and
the dormant elements are now aroused.
The spirit Of Democracy is awake, ana
from this out, the campaign will be Wig
orous.
Ohio county will send an unbroken
Democratic delegation to Charleston this
winter by the largest majority ever re-
ceivcd bv u ticket in the county since the
State was organized. Mark the predlc-

The senate entertained a series of
re solutions from the citizens Of Cincin-
nEti protesting against any initiation Of
the currency. The Louisville and Port
land canal bill was taken up and several
ameI' dments agreed to, but no final ac-
ton OF the bill was had. The Louisiana
bill " as resumed, and is likely to becon-
tinued until the necessity for the new
election asked for has ceased to exist.
A Joint resolution was introduced in

that rations, forage and clothing be sent

house on the subject, and said the pres
eut inundstion was greater than any
that had happened since lS47; that
the people never were more destitute,
and that the number needing aid
was from ten thousand to fifteen
thousand. Mr.. Cox remarked that the
government might as well be called
upon TO furnish aid to forty thousand
Starving people in New York city. After

DOCKERy.
A Foolish Young Man IN Tight Place
His Life JeOpardised.

NEW YORK, April Ia Havana let
ter says: Frederick Dockery, ex-Unite
States district-attorney g. Key-West,
about the elumsiest individual who
could have been sent on any mission re-
quiring a deal OF tact, has ccme to grief,
owing to his stupidity in supposing that
be had the right to 60 about as he
pleased. 1t is said he came here on a
mission from General Guesada, trying
to arrange matters with Cespedes in the
interior, and fix things so that Quesada
could land with an expedition. On the
sixteenth instant, all tattered and torn,
Dockery presented himself at the office
Of the United States consular agent
in Nuevitas, telling hin that he had
just came from the iDsurrectioD, and was
desirous of surrenGering 20 the Spanish
authorities, undoubtedly thinking that
he would at cnce receive passport to
go back TO Key West. The consul went
with him to the military governor OF the
place, and he referred the subject TO
General Portillo, who ordered that
Doekery and the consul be placed in
solitary confinement. General Coneha
then ordered the release OF the consul,
but approved the court-mertiat to try
Dockery as a spy. On Thursday fol-
lowing the court-martial sentenced him
to death. The case was submitted to
General Conehe, who, it IS rumored, in
tends to spare his life as matter OF
courtesy toward the United States.

nR- srnsER.s SUCCESSOR.

William B. .Washburne, elected COVER
nor Of Massachusetts last fall, having
then defeated Ben Butler, whom Grant
approved, for the Republican nOmins-
lion. was yesterday made United States
senator TO succeed Mr.. Sumner. This
election of Governor Washburn is q
most significant condemnation Of Presi
dent Grant, and well calculated to
widen the breach made last fall in the
ranks Of the Republican party by the
Presidents intervention in Buffers be-
half and in opposition to Mr.. Washburne.
The newly-chOsen senator is not distin-
guished by his learning or intellectual
force. He is a plain, unpretending,
honest, frank, upright gentleman. His
personal qualities are nearly akin to
those that distinguished General
Wsshburne who commanded at Mem
phis when General Forrest as
sailed snd entered this place. No
citizen of Massachusetts, to the ex-
tent that his personal qualities are ad-
mirable, deserves more at the hands Of
the people. Three or four brothers,
Washburne, some years ago, were mem
bers Of congress at the same time; one
from Maine, where they were born; this,
the senator Of to-day, represented a
Massachusetts district; a third, now
United States minister at Paris, from
JO-Davies county, Illinois, a partner
with Dan Rice in lead-mine not many
years ago; and the fourth, OF whom we
have spoken as a general from Wiscon-
sin. Whatever may he said Of the rest,
the general Of Wisconsin and this newly
made Massachusetts senator deserve all
houors at the hands Of their consitu-
ents. They are not Of our politics, but
aside from this are entitled to all respect
aud confidence.
