BurSted Up.

We find the following among the as
sociated press dispatches:
The Grange store started last fall al
Winona, Wisconsin, has failed Qiabli-
ties $4,000, with no assets): and simi-
lar one at Owatonna closed up after q
loss Of nearly $4,000. The honest
stockholders snuff the vile odor OF
monopoly" in those concerns.
We offer no comment on the above,
further than what We presented some
weeks ago--that our friends, the farm.
ers, had better retain the management of
their business in their own hands, ra-
ther than to commit il TO the keep
ing of others Of whose motives and ul-
Innate objects they know nothing. The
times are essentially progressive, espe-
cially in humbuggery and rascaity.

Scribner's Monthly makes point on
the above subject:
This much tho rcgroes may claim
and that is ehough--that the public
schools provided for them shall be equal
in all respects TO those provided for the
whites. In order that these separate
schools may be maintained, there must
be incurred heavy extra expense,
which will DO borno chiefly by the
whites; and as long as the whites are
willing to dosthis, 1t is sufficient evi.
dencc that the co.oducation Of the races
is impracticablo."

The Independents.

For the Post.)
Mr.. Enthusiastically you give
the Independents blow in the short
ribs, and pretty often You publish eS-
tracts from other papers containing un-
kind cuts. Now, l think they are es.
scntially necessary IN Tennessee. For
instance, who was it in the Stokes and
Seutcr election that levcled down the
Republicans. aud struck the shackles
rom those who had Leen engaged in the
rebellion! 1, was the Independents,
and II took great deal OF independence
TO do IL, for ii was big job; and ms
soon as II had been accomplished some
or them, nKe the suahe II, tue ,anic that
was found frozen, and as soon as L was
warmed into life again, tried to fasten
lis fangs into its benefactor. Hence the
result Of the last election IN Tennessee,
in which the Democracy was well nigh
routed in all directions.
The Independents hold the balance
of power in Tennessee, and it is so ac.
knowledgcd by both parties, from the
fact that the Republicans make n propo.
siiion to run Mr.. MAYNARD for Cover
nor in connection with Mr.. johnson for
the United States Senate. That would
make strong ticket. The Democracy
propose similar ticket, which would
be equally strong as the other But |
don't think that either vii! accomplish
their object. lproposc an independent
platform, broad enough for all 10 stand
or run upon, to.wit. Every man upon
his own merits; let honesty and quail
iication be the watchword. DO away
with the convention system OF select
ing candidates for Office, which think
has worked great mischief among the
people. In the days Of Washington,
and still later, when the qualification of
an oilice.seeker was, SIS he honest ?" "is
he capable?" we heard no cry of cor
ruption in high places. But since the
system was fully inaugural
ed and the motto "to the victors belong
the spoiIs" generally adopted, the ques.
ton of qualification Is changed and we
hear 'has he been faithful dog, never
barking up the wrong trce?.if so, he
will do to hold Office" And hence the
cry of corruption from one end of the
land 20 the other. 1t has grown from
bad to worse just as we have adopted
the system from President down to tho
Office. | attribute our late
civi! war in great measure TO the con-
vention system. 1t had been placing
the strongest partisan spirits in Office
until they had fired up the minds of the
people TO such an extent that they were
willing to be led blind against their
own interests. So let us do away with
the "middle men" in selecting candi-
dates for office. aud return TO the better
days of the Republic, when honesty
md capability were considered the first
qualifications for places Of public trust
and responsibility.

a Little Rock special says that the
reason for the arrest Of Judges Scnrlc
and Bennett, Of tho Supreme Court,
may be summed up as folows:--
There is a standing appropriation Of
$4,000 at the disposal of the Governor
for the payment Of the militia when
called into active service. This statute
was passed in 1868. Governor Brooks
made requisirion for part of this
fund. The Auditor drew warrant
upon the Treasurer for the money, who,
to protect himself from any DOUBTFUL
payments, refused to honor the war.
rant; wheroupon the attorneys for
Brooks prepared mandamus against
the Treasurer, asking that he be com.
PEELED to pay the money to the manda-
mus. The Treasurer responds that the
presiding officer of the Senate. to whom
the election returns were made, had de-
clared Baxter Governor of the State
and submits that Brooks has no authori-
ty TO draw upon the fund. TO this re-
plicatioI was prepared setting up the
judgment of the Circuit Court IN favor

was prepared, TO the effect that the Cir

The Late EX-President Fillmore.
1t will do no harm just now TO repro
duce the following brief extract from
the remarks of Hon. Horace Maynard
in reference to Ex-President Fillmore,
made in the House Of Representatives
just after the announcement OF his
death:
His character has been siDgularly
pure, his conduct singularly forbearing
and appropriate. In private life long
since learned he had the respect of all
Of his neighbors. Strangers who visit
ed the city Of his late residence, with
ont regard to political sentiment or for
mer personal relations, made it part Of
their pleasure 10 pay him their personal
respects. lie lived IN retirement from
the high Office of President OF the Uni
ted States, as am sure the American
citizen will be gratifed TO see all others
live who may fiji the same office in the
future years Of the Republic. AS re-
tired statesman ] know not where to
look for a fner model"

had mistakes been made by Congress,
but he thought they were not in the
main responsible for the recent changes.
He agreed with the President that the
third term nonsense had but little to do
with it. Pennsylvania was the first to
declare against it, and yet they had lost
the election, so there was no room for
regret over any neglect Of that issue.
On the whole, Cameron found the Presi-

Of the wooden vessels in the Pacific Mail

some insurance. As the company did
not require double insurance there was
dispute between the officer and director
as to which contract should be recog-
nized. It being reported that the latter
had threatened to resign unless the in.
