THE NEW SENAToR.-(3ov. Porte,

The NEW SENAT0R.-Gov. Porter
has appointed Hon. David McKendree
Key, of Hamilton county, Senator in
place of the late Andrew johnson.
He was born in Greene county, the
home of his illustrious predecessor
but has been a resident of Hamilton
county for number of years. Pre-
vious to the war he was a Democratic
Congressional Elector, and served
throughout the war as Lieutenant-
Colonel in the Confederate army. In
l51O he was the Democratic nominee
for Congress in his district, and was
defeated by VIM. Crutchfield. He was
a member of the Constitutional Con-
vention in 1872, bearing a conspicuous
part in its public discussions and i'm
pertant committee work.
The Union and American says Of
him, for Judge Key we can sly, how :
ever, that he is a gentleman without
reprosch, who will never occasion dis
credit to his State in the Senate or
elsewhere. OF unobtrusive but digni-
fed department, quiet in demeanor,
but firm in purpose, decided in his
opinions, possessed of rare abilities, and
thoroughly Democratic in his views,
he will appreciate his position and de-
vote his talents to the interests Of the
whole State and its entire people"

SHOULD the Democratic ticket sue
coed in 1876, the administration will
have no task more difficult to per-
form, or more necessary, than thu abo-
lition Of the great number of Offices
created by Grant aud his tools. not be-
cause they were necessary for the dis
charge of public business, but because
they supplied places for dishonest par
tizans and added influence to the ad-
ministration. Economy, no less than
public justice, demands the promptand
complete correction of this monstrous
abuse whereby the people are robbed
of large sums every year, which honest
patriotism would have applied to the
payment of the public debt. Not only
have Radical Office holders been null
tiplied extravagantly; but, with the
selfish cunning of the party. they have
been placed where they could do most
good in swelling the vote of the party
and giving support to a corrupt and
usurping administration. This work
can not be accomplished in a day, butthe
new party, if successful. must address
itself earnestly to the task, il it woulc
retain the confidence which gave it
power.

THE Radicals are terribly disgrun-
tied by the presence of so many Con-
federate Generals in the next Congress.
They forget that the best men in the
South were the formost in the army,
and when, by the tardy justice of The
Radical mob Congress, representation
was conceded to the rebel section, it
was natural aud wise in tie southern
people TO put forward their best men
as representatives In the nor tn the case
was altered, aud its people were content
TO make generals of whisky-heads like
Grant, barn burners like Sherman and
Sheridan, block heads like Burnside,
aud spoon thieves like Butler-not one
of whom has the simplest element Of
craftsmanship in his intellectual COM
position. Hence the contrast between
the representation of the north and
that of the south. The people of the
formerwere Shrewd enough to perceive
that their Generals are not statesmen,
whilst the Southerners know that their
Generals were statesmen before they
were soldiers and have lost none oftheir
fitness for political life by their army
discipline and experience 1.-THE South
ern Generals elect are so very iormi-
dablc to the Radicals. they ought, dur
ing the last Congress, when they had
the usurped power, to have taken steps
to bind the last one of them to keep
the peace during his term of service.

MORTON, having opened the cam
paign with the bloody shirt on his
flag staff and a dirty Radical shirt on
his back, is coolly reminded by the
Philadelphia Times, that peace will
win in 1876" Morton and the simon
pure Radicals of Illinois, who are
trembling at the very thought of being
invaded by Jefferson Davis, think diff
ferently. Wewould like for Mr.. Davis
to go to Rockport, in order that
those blatant. uncouth Radicals may
have chance to be civilized by seeing
and hearing gentleman and christ
ian, statesman and a soldier. They,
like Morton. are making political cap

ADAM SMITH. in his Wealth of
Nations" has this to say about gold
and silver:
"Gold and silver, like every other
commodity, varies in value-all some
times cheaper, sometimes dearer, son e.
times of lower and sometimes of more
difficult purchase. The quantity of
labor which any valuable quality of
these csn purchase or command, or the
quality of other goods will exchange
for, depends upon the fertility or bar
renness of the mines which happen
to be known about the time when such
exchanges are made. The discovery
of the abundant mines of America re-
duced in the sixteenth century the
value of gold and silver in Europe to
about one third what 1t had formerly
been.
" AS q measure of quantity, such as
a natural foot, fathom or handful,
which is constantly varying in its quail
ity, can never be an accurate measure
of the value of these commod ties. so
a commodity which is itself continual
ly varying in its own value can never
be an accurate measure Of the value OF
other commodities.

The Albany, New York, Law Jour
nal invokes public attention to the
huge swindles known as Life Insurance
Companies. Itsays many of the com.
panies are confessedly bankrupt"
Scores ofthe companies were conceiv-
ed in fraud and born in inquiry" and
when bankruptcy is inevitable, "offers
to reinsure its policy holders in some
other shyster company" There are, no
doubt, honorable exceptions, but when
the alarm is given by such a prOmi-
nent Journal, there can be no harm in
putting those on their guard who have,
in good faith and for noble purpose,
invested their money in policies that
may be worthless. In these days OF
corruption it is safe rule to look with
suspicion upon all such enterprises
and to trust none without the strongest
evidence Of their solvency and wise
and honorable management. We
know nothing of the truth or false
hood of these charges, but see no i'm.
proprietyin echoing the warning ofthe
Albany Law Journal.

THE clearer it becomes that more
money is needed to build upthe South,
the greater the efforts Of the Radical
leaders to contract the currency, in or
der to strengthen the hold of the
monied aristocraey upon the trade and
prosperity of the South and West-tc
make both tributary to Wall street and
the bondholders. This is the policy
which dictated the act, fixing day for
the resumption OF specie payment and
providing for the event by authorising
an indefinite increase Of the bonded
debt, and swelling the amount of in-
terest on bonds,- which is already SO
burdensome to the people. The policy
of the Radical leaders, during and
since the war. has been to destroy the
rights Of the States and even their
boundary lines. that all power might
be centralized. at Washington and
welded by monied aristocracy. But
finding their consolidation scheme is
about to prove a failure, they are striv-
ing with might and main to subject the
people and all their best interests to
the power of money, concentrated by
every legal and fraudulent device cal
culated to increase the wealth of mo-
nopolies and inpoverish labor in all
its productive phases.
This is the meaning and the drift of
the cry for hard money and specie pay
ments-having for their ultimate OBJ
ject the imposition ofan effective check
upon the growth of the West and
South in material wealth and political
power. New England and the Middle
States see the hand writing on the wall
proclaiming that the sceptre is passing
from them, and that nothing can secure
for them permanent hold upon power
except starving those growing sections
into subsection to the will of Wall
street and the bloated mOnopolies.
The people can not be SO blind as not to
see the game which Radicalism is play
ing, nor SO unpatriotic as to aid that
party in destroying their own prosper
ity and the landmarks of free institu-
tons.

Among the many diseases that h,

Among the many diseases that hu-
mainly is heir to. there is scarcely any
which. in violent pain and acute suffer
ing, rivals the toOthache. And yet, as
far as We are able to judge, though the
affection is common to all, but few are
aware of the fact that other remedies
exist besides the extraction of the
tooth, which. if only tried, will be in
fallible. The following, for instance,
suggested to us by friend, will, if his
experience and veracity are worth any
thing, prove invaluable in the relief of
this torment: Take equal quantities of
alum and common salt, pulverize them.
and apply them to the hollow tooth on
a wet piece of cotton. The remedy is
very simple, very cheap, and within
the reach of all. If any one will try
it he will find it infallible.- Exchange.

RocKFoRD, ILL, Aug. 12.-The ex-
element occasioned by II. 7. kimball' S
startling announcement that JEFF Davis
would speak at the fair this year has
been growing since Monday, when the
letter of acceptance arrived. The pub
LEGATION of the Tribune and other
Chicago papers was the first informa-
ton that came officially to Rockford.
From that moment the excitement be-
came greater, and now assumes an in
dignation that will not be easily allay
ed, unless jeff Davis cancels his en-
gsgement. The Grand Army OF the
Republic held an Indignation meeting
last night. and passed the following re-
solution, which was signed by over 300
of the boys:
Whereas, We learn with regret that
JEFF Davis has been invited by the
Board of Directors of the Winnebsgo
County Agricultural Society to deliver
the annual address at our county fair
and
Whereas, We look upon it as an in
suit to the loyal citizens of Winnebago
County to invite the arch TRAITOR. JEFF

viving friends of 1900 men murdered
at Andersonville alone by his orders
Resolved, That while as an organ
ization We have nothing to do with
party politics. yet, as loyal citizens and
former soldiers, we feel it our duty to
speak in behalf of the memory of our
fallen comrades who are no longer able
to speak for themselves.
Resolved, That we protest against
the action Of the Board of Directors,
and pledge ourselves that we will moi

toward mrking it success, if the
Board OF Directors, persist 10 bring.

Resolved, That these resolutions be
signed by the members of this Post
and published in the county papers.
But the excitement is not altogether
confined to ROckford.-A number o.
the Winnebago County towns are al
ready up in arms, and resolutions o.
the most threatening character are be
ing passed.
A correspondent from Roscoe writes
to the Gazette, OF this city, and says

We occasionally see in the papers
the prediction that the sceptre Of New
England is destined, in short time,
to be handed over to the South. So far
from questioning the truth of the
prophecy, we believe it might have
been fulfilled ere this had the South
been wise enough to improve its OPP
portunity. Had it, at the close of the
war, adopted the policy of raising in
abundance the necessaries of life, in
stead of depending for them upon the
Northwest, and cxpending upon man
ufactories the bulk of the means de-
voted to railroads pointing to the
North-which roads are now mainly
owned and run in the interest of that
section-New England would by this
time have realized the fact, that she
was cutting her own throat while striv-
ing to destroy the South. We predict
ed, at the close of the war, that, if the
South could be awakened to its true
interest, the abolitionists would have
greaterreason to repent their malignant
philanthropy than the South itself.
That prediction, UNDECIDED at the time
and by some ridiculed, is in progress of
fulfllment-theN North is realizing it
and the South is, at last, beginning to
see its long neglected opportunity, and
is fastening to correct its great error.
Widening fields of cereals and grasses
are gladdening the hearts of the far
mers, and the hum of machinery is
heralding the brighter day when the
loom and spindle will be adequate to
convert into varied fabrics the pro-
auctions of the cotton fields. The
Oranges are effecting that system of
wise cooperation so essential to this
benefcent result, and clear insight
into the once hidden resources of the
South is stimulating'it its people to con-
vert their intended ruin by abolition
lists, into source of unbounded wealth
and power. Enough is accomplished
to prove that it will be our own fault if
the blow intended to destroy the South
does not recoil with fearful force upon
the patty which dealt it.

INDUSTRIAL DRAWBACKS.

Our Jonesboro exchanges speak very
highly of the address delivered at that
town last Monday by Hon. Jas. +. Bal
ley, OF GAINESVILLE, on the subject of in
dustrial pursuits. From the report of
the Journal, we gather that the dis
tnguished speaker attributes the COM
paratiye backwardness of Tennessee,
in the face OF rich resources and ready
markets, to two causes: want of d.
versity and idleness. He is represent
ed as saying that too many OF our busy
population are engaged in agriculture,
too few in mechanics and manufac-
lures. We produce too much food and
raw material, and too few implements
and machines. Our farms are too
large and numerous: our mills, facto-
res and looms too few and unimpor-
tant. Our labor is too crude, and la
borers too unskillful; our own prOduc-
tons should be prepared for consum-
ers by ourselves.
But efficient as is this cause in pro-
noting poverty, it is only secondary;
The primary cause is the idleness OF
one-third of our population. Our
drones are too numerous; our workers
are too few. Only one-fourth of our
people have any fixed occupation-out
of million and quarter only a frac-
ton over three, hundred thousand
Two working men must support not
only themselves, but third. who is
too lazy to work. Prosperity can never
attend such condition. The idle
must be persuaded or compelled to Ia
Dor. This and this only can give us
permanent prosperity. and to this end
we owe it to ourselves. our State and
our children, that we bend our ener-
eies.
The speaker closed with an elegant
tribute to the memory of the dead sol.
diers OF Tennessee. who sealed their
devotion with their lives. whether in
blue or grey, and recommended that in
commemoration of their virtues mon.
ument be erected at the State capitol
Union and american.

CLAnKsyILLE ;. August 81, 1875.
WE can not agree with some Of on

We can not agree with some OF our
contemporaries that it is the duty of the
press to advise Gov. Porter as to his
choice of some one to fill the vacant
Senatorship. In popular elections, it
is the duty Of the press to aid by its
counsel, the selection Of the right men
for the positions to be filed. But the
federal Constitution wisely makes the
Senate the representative of State SOW
reignty,a and evidently intended to with
draw the choice Of its members from
the excitement, the turmoil ard often
the corruption of popular elections
and, therefore, made the Senators ell
gible, not directly by the people, but
indirectly through their representa-
tives in the legislatures of the several
States. tits made :he duty of the Gov
ernor to appoint Senators under certain
contingencies thereby discharging, by
proxy, one Of the duties of the repre-
sentatives of the people; in doing SO
he should be leftuntrammelled save by
his own convictions of right, and it is
due to him that he should not be har-
raised by advice and suggestions that
are simply gratuitous. The tendency
of popular opinion is to that extreme
Democracy which borders upon an
archy, and which would drag into the
mire of politics the Judiciary as we'll at
the other departments of the govern
mens-makipg justice wait upon popu-
lar caprice and placing our highes. and
dearest interests at the mercy of bal.
lotbox stuffed withignorance and fraud
and vice. The once responsible and
dignifed position Of Senator, instead
of being won. as formerly, by states.
manship and distinguished services, is
now sought to be obtained by appeals
to prejudice aud passion, by the arts Of
the demsgogue rather than the silent
appeal of merit founded upon integrity
ability and wise craftsmanship. Such
is the spirit and intent of the Consti-
tuition, and we deprecate everything
that squints at departure therefrom.
Hence our objection to any interfer.
ence with the Governor, who can ap-
point but one man out of the dozens
presented by the press for his consid-
Grafton. Were the press unanimous
in its choice of one man and he emf
nently competent, then its advice
might be heeded-as it is, compliance
is impossible.
