equally valid arguments, might have
been arrived at. Under the old slavery
regime there vas an unbreken line OF
decisions Of the National Supreme Court
looking TO The protection of the rights
OF shareholders and disregarding the
rights Of Hian. In the case of Tweed,
the decision Of Chief Justice Church
appears TO look To the protection OF
Democrats and to disregard the claims
of justice and The rights OF the people
OF New York City. Mr.. Tweed IS u
representative Democrat. He was the
leading Democrat in the United States.
If he succeeds in keeb ping clear OF arrest
under other indictments for his crimes,
be will naturally take his place II the
head OF the Tammany Society Of New
York City, where be viii once moro

posSessor Of secrets which, If disclosed,
would irretrievably ruia many a Demo

Presidential lspIrants.

The Pittsburg Commercial is an excel
lent paper, but is sometimes iactiou,
with al inclination TO be cruelty kind
Of Nessrs. Allen and Thurman, as
presidential aspirants, il says:
"Go' ernor Allen, of Ohio, says Of his
nephew Thurman, that be is an able
lawyer, bat doesn't know blessed thing
about craftsmanship, while Thurman
says Of Allen that be makes fair GOV
ernor, considering bis age, bat he is a
rantauker01s old woman wheH be comes
to national politics They are both can
didates for the Presidency, bat they
would much rathorhe right-abopt each
other-tban be President"
Whether the Commercial rightly re-
presents the affection between The neph-
ew OF hls uncle and himself, il is clear
that neither Of them believes in the
others qualifications for the grea, office,
and lha, each vii labor The Others de-
feat. IL Is a VERY pretty quarrel as it
stands. Prominent men whose names
were mentioned too early as Presidential
candidates, have been slaughtered ty
the people without rcmorse. Bat what
shall be said OF the :cr;uaI opposition Of
two such celebrities ~ Governor Allen
and Senator Thurman in their own POI
lilical households, in the presence oF
their own political friends and which
may lead To the slaughter Of both ? That
both believed that they are right, We
have no reason 10 doubt; and II is not
impossible that thc people will accept
heir estimate 6f each other and act uA-
on II hy removing The pretcnsions OF
bo!h OF them out OF the %av.

The Spanish monarchy, which came
into power aided by the,guns of PavIa,
does not seem to take root - The repub-
licans Of Madrid show an uneasy feeling.
There arc fears of another outbreak.
There was never moro nefarious VIC
Iation of justice and liberty than the
coup d etat which ended in the coming
OF tho Prince Alfonso TO the throne OF
Spain. The assumption that a boy
fresb from his tops and ponies and school
books could revive and govern turbu-
lent Spain is an absurdity. The sooner
it ends thu better.

lE9gT the EuEiT,

The harvest Of the winter wheat VIII
be nearly completed by Saturday OF this
week. The music of farm machinery is
heard in every direction. The "headcrs
arc doing good work, and even the
thrcshins machines will be in demand
in few days. Messrs. Powers & Good
now, grain dealers, expect 10 receive
some of the new wheat at their
elevator next week. 4 careful estimate
has been made upon the most correct
data that could be obtained, and it is be-
lievcd that Saline county harvests this
year nearly 10000 bushels Of winter
wheat. And such wheat the world
never saw before Such corpuleht Der
ries we may read of but moi often sec.
Standing on some high point Of land
the beholdcr sees one golden yellow
patch succeed another Tor miles, on
every side. If some CT oar eastern
friends who have lost COL 6Gence in Kan
sas by reason of her late mistortulss,
could gaze upon the wheat fields OF Sa-
line county, they would feel that some
magic wand had transformed tue DESC
late plains OF their imagination into a
very perfect Paradise. 1t is now "a smi!-
ing and happy land" The average yield
Of wheat will be not far from thirty
basheis TO the acre and this is no guess
work. but is founded npon the most crit
ieai calculation. Furthermore, not far
from one million bushels Of winter
wheat will be shipped from Salina by
our grain dealers. With all this wheat
and Thousands OF bashels Of rye, nearly
garncred and ready for market, and
with the present good prospects for oats,
barley, corn and spring wheat the people
OF this section feel that they can forever
turn their backs upon the bitter trials Of
the past, and that Ceres is not likely 20
hb sparing OF her most precious gifts ter
the future.

CHARLESTON MATTERS.

CHAp1rsroN. Nov. 5-The reception to
Gov. Chamberlain by the Chamber OF Com
merce to-day was the occasion OF the largest
gatht ng of that body that has been known
for years. In reply to congratulations upon
the wholesome effect OF the reforms OF DIS al
ministration upon the commercial prosperity
Of Charleston and material interests OF the
State, the Governor reiterated his pledge to
give good ard honest government to South
Carolina, and expressed deep qualification at
receiving the cooperation o. the business men
of Charleston.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, who is visiting
this city, was interviewed by a Nelcs and Cou-
rier reporter, to-day, upon tho result OF Tues
DAYS elections He attri butes the Democratic
reverses to the fact that the currency issue
divided public attention from the corruption
and maladmpistration of the Republican, par
ty, especially in its South m policy. He said
the Republicans would be glad to fight the
battle OF 1875 upon new issues, and 1T does
not matter with them much what these new
issues are,-whe:her they be currency, the
acquisition Of Cuba, or war with the Pope =
ANYTHING rather than their own record.
The national Democracy will make serious
mistake if they permit any Of these new is
sues to be brought into the Presidential can
vass next year. II am, he said, satisfied,
however that after the lesson OF Tuesday
the national Democracy will not make the
currency question either paramount or promi-
nent, aud that both wings of the Democratic
party on the currency question and the Lib
eral Republicans will unite in '76 in favor OF
the Constitution, local government, honest
and economical administration.
