The Union-Herald endeavors to
,mterbalance tho expected huzzas
of the conservative press over the
incarceration in the penitentiary of
the Chester Senator, by remarking
that the Judge, jury and solicitor
who convicted him are all republi-
cans. While we congratulate the
Court i'll it's good work in this mat
tor we cannot refrain from remark
ing that from what we heard of his
littlc transaction, the guilt of
the accused was so patent that he
could not possibly have been ac
quilted by any sort ofa jury. The
disgrace entailed upon the radical
party by the conviction of State
Senator cannot be removed by the
action of the Court in the promises
We don't think conservative Sena
tor would have given conservative
jury the opportunity of passing
upor his guilt or innocence
The Massachusetts republicans
have nominated Rice for Governor.
Charles Francis Adams received
261 votes, about half of the required
majority. Mr.. Adams is the most
t lkel about man in the United
States. Every ono thinks him a
splendid man to fill any place from
tho presidency down, but he never
re ,oives nomination. We are
glad he was defeated in the conven-
ton, as he would have made mag
nificcnt leader to rally the dis
gruntlcd pilgrims Rice is said to
DO a moro wire puller, and mn in
forior man. His nomination causes
M improvement in Gov. Gaston's
chances for reelection. The pro-
hibitionists some time since re-
solved not to support either Rice
or Loring if nominated. Chances
f'tvor tho election of CASTOR unless
the carpot-baggcrs all roturn home
TO vote. They are needed in Mas
sachusetts much moro than in the
South.

The We,os tG Courier takes othe,
papers to task for carping at the
reward offered by Gov. Chamberlain
Tor the arrest OF tho Crews murder
ere' It shows that the reward il
offered subject to tho action of the
Legislature, and will therefore MOI
bo paid. Now in the first Iplace tho
carping arises bccat,se Gov. Cham
berlain offers q reward in this CASE
after having refused in others of ,
similar nature. In the second place
the governor should not offer re
ward unless he feels sure it will b,
paid State credit is low enough
already In the third place, til,
reward will be Paid, because a ratli
cal will claim it. 1t offers q goot
chance for q divide, and thes,
chances are not frequent nowadays
In the fourth place it is just a.
probable that Gov. Chamberlain hat
Crews assassinatod because sucl
men rs no are running the party ant
running the Governors reputatio,
as reformer, as that the conserva
tives caused the assassination
Why do tho conservatives want sucl
men ms Grows taken off He wa
OF great uso to thom. Such men n
no have elected twenty-five demo
cratic governors and twenty-fou
democratic legislatures. The
cannot DO spared until after 1876
In the fifth placoit is not necessar
70 hire parties to kill radicals. Th
whole party is killing itself as fas
as 1t can. All we conservatives hay
to 90 is to wait quietly until tn
great mastor oftho radicals calls the,
to himself, and then we will ente
A
IN and take possession of,the natio,
Tho assassination of Crews was
plot on the part Of reform ropubl
cans to rid themselves of IN incubu,
Ihe murderers should bo punished
we have n suspicion that til
above is rather rambling, but it
true nevertheless.
