The Cine innati Commercial is mol
much impressed with the nomina-
tions made by the Republican Con
vcntion in Ohio last Wednesday
Referring to tho action Of that body
the Commercial says:
The candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor are not Of the
prickley- persuasion as to Sunday,
or the Bible, or the Bottle. There
is still chance for the fanatical to
fight the party. The candidates
were chosen as negations-to evade,
not to meet, the rugged issues Hayes
is impressed because the squads of
wire-pullers thought HIM the most
prominet of inoffensive citizens, and
Tom Young is expected to serve as
oil on the troubled waters. The
nominations may please the en-
plvycs of the General Government,
and seem to the country editors OF
their party to represent tue highest
wisdom atininablc upon tho earth
but the mau for the hour was re-
jcctcd not for the sake of any Prin-
ciplc, or upon any plea worthy OF
iuanl,ood, but through fall-o pre-
tense of policy. and with Al false
cry of expectancy.

HAVE WE JUSTICES OF THE
PEACE4

Ths Constitution of our state
provides mode OF filling vacancies
and our Supreme Court has decided
that il is the exclusive and only
mode for filling them, and the Leg
islature has no power to prescribe
sny othor. The Constitution Of
Mississippi, art. 6, sec, 20, has thi.
provision:
The Board Of Supervisors shall or
der all county elections, TO eH sacda
sfes that may arise in tho offices o.
their respective counties.
So, we see, the Board of Super
visors- have no discretion in the
matter Whenever a vacancy oc
ours in coanty their duty is plain
explicit, mandatory" they SHALL
No governor has right under the
Constitution to fill vacancies. Yet
the people have tamely submitted
to the practice, have permitted gov
errors TO fill vacancies by appoint
ment whom they had no moro right
TO do SO than the President OF the
United States has TO appoint . may
or aud board of aldermen for the
city of Canton. Such appointments
are void and worthless from the be-
ginning. In our county Governor
Amss has undertaken to supply two
vacancies in the offices of Justices
Of the Peace. Our citizens have no
objection to the appointment of one
Of them. Judge Downs is entirely
acceptable, yet the other il quite
the reverse.
But what we object to is the
mode Of appointment. We have .
right to officers whose acts and do
ings will be legal and Of some eff.
ect. The acts of tho present in
cumbents cannot be legal, If the in
cnmbenis are themselves illegally
in the possession of their Offices.
There is but ono way to Gil these
and all other elective Offices legally;
that is the Constitutional way.
We are supposed TO be living I'M
der . Republican form of govern
-Iaent, with an elective system in
which the people rule through the
ballot box. This appointive bust
ness is, as the Jackson Times very
truthfuliy remarks, relic Of militia
~ rule, and absolutely despotic.
Let II be stopped. Let the people
elect their officers as the Constitu-
ton directs, whether it be TO fill
them originally or to fill vacancies :.
If this is not done, the Constitution
n-sd law is a sham.

The following characteristic arll-
Gle We chip from tho Vicksburg
fIatn 1sales, a Radical paper owned
by colored men and edited in the
interest of tho colored race Il is
worthy the rorusal of all thinking
eolored Republicans, and more es-
pecially those OF our coLn.y, who in
their blind faith have followed the
driftings of their party leaders, on
ly to be tricked into the support OF
men and measures foreign 10 their
interests and tastes. 1t is high time
that the black man shonld sec the
eastern yankee in his carpetbag role
unmasked by one OF their own color
exposing the sycophancy and n.y.
pocrisy which has lod them SO far
astay. Here is what it has to say:
Tho time has come for tho color
ed people to unto with those who
will not chuckIe at their misfortune
and lend helping hand slyly to
crush them out, while protesting all
sorts of friendship for them. Above
all things we hate deceit and hypoc-
risy! We hate a man who processes
friendship but at the same time on
ly wishes to use us To accomplish
his sinister motives. We know the
Southern people well. We know
the higher class, and we know the
lower class. We were raised in
their midst, and while they may not
preach on the corners OF the streets
Of their infinite love OF the negro,
We do not believe that there is
solitary Southern gentleman in this
city Of the high class, but would
have willingly gone on the bond Of
some of our officials, while in troub
lc, if these officials were not so cv-
erlastingly allied to the class OF per-
sons who have hitherto used them
as mere tools. We believe, there
forc, that the time has come when
the colored Republicans of Mississ-
ippi must take a new departure. If
they expect peace; if they expect
harmony; if they expect prosperity,
if. in short, they expect 10 succeed
to perfect freedom and friendship
with the moro respectable ciass of
our people, they must turn deaf
ear to these street corner clamorerS
and join with men of long standing,
character and interest i'll the com
1t is not always those who
boast of their unflinching Republi-
canism that are the men to promote
to Office. Better, thousand times
better that a man should be of no
politics, but q consistent gentleman
and to the interests of those who
confide in him than one who blab-
bers cternally about his political Fl
deity, but is the veriest hypocrite
on Gods green earth. We have
written these lines after close obser-
walton and long hesitation. We did
all in our power to prevent ourselves
from coming to this conclusion, but
it was forced upon us. We are in a
state, and since those who
have hitherto protested friendship
for us, and in whom we had hitherto
have deliberately tried to
crush US out, We must unite with
those who, like ourselves, are bound
to the soil of our State by ties stron-
ger than offices and political cmolu-
ments. Colorado is no beaver for
the colored man, but the South is
his country, and here we are com
PEELED to remain through adversely
as well as prosperity. Let US mark
put new course and pursue it. /

FOR CLERK OF THE HOUSE OF
THE FORTY-FOURTH COZ
GRESS, A. D. BANKS, OF MIS-
SISSIPPI.

In the selection of officers, for
our next national legislature, it Is
OF the utmost importance that we
OF the South shall have in che places
allotted to us representative South
ern men. Such in every respect is
at the head of this article. Mr.. Banks
vas young man Of great promise
before the war, aud had made a well
deserved reputation as . newspaper
writer and editor. lie was nomi-
Eatcd in 1855 for Clerk of the House
and was defeated by only two votes,
only because of his extreme y6Glh.
He served on the staff of Gen. Jos.
-eph L. Johnson during tho war, with
the rank of major, in confidential
relations always with his distinguish
ed chief, whose utmost confidence
he possessed. Mr.. Banks has been
requested by a number of promi-
Dent Southern men u permit his
name TO he used as . candidate for
clerk of the next House. What his
personal feelings are in regard TO
this matter We do not know, but
VIC trust that be will be > candidate
ipr inc POsltiOD-
II behooves US to be careful to put
into position men whose personal
snd political regulations are abso-
!atcly beyond suspicion. Believing
this, we trust Mr.. Banks may per-
Init his name to come before the
next House for the clcrkship. Of
the highest social position and &C
complishment, as scholar, politician
and gentleman, he has no superior
and few equals in the whole coun-
try, North or South.
The above we take from the New
Orleans Timcs, and we rejoice that
the writer mentions in connection
with the clerkship of the next House
Of Representatives o citizen of our
own state and one who is SO well
qualified to disch. o the RESPONSE
tle duties attached to the Office,
with honor to himself and credit to
his section.
Maj. Banks is a Southern man,
thoroughly identified with the South
in feeling. sympathy and interest.
Bound TO the Southern people by
the strongest ties which the past
could moalI and the present
strengthen, he has labored unceas.
ingly since tue war, with all the IN
fuence he could exercise and all the
means he could command to miti-
gate our troubles ard lessen the evils
which have oppressed US. When
called upon,ncver failing to respond
with that un,iring energy SO charac-
tcristic of the man. As Secretary OF
the Democratic National Executiv
Committee. he did more real hard
work for the success Of the party
during the last Presidential cam
paign, than any ether one man.
The Clerk will undoubtedly come
from the South and we can find no
one whose qualitic atoms arc supe'
rior to those possessed by Maj. a.
d. Banks, his splendid natural abiI
titles and long political experience
emineptly TT him for this high bon
or, and We arc sure that he wouil
not only sdo,n the position. but
prove . useful and uorons!, officer.

A Terrible Disaster.

NEW York, February 25.-Shorty after
o'clock this evening, the congregation OF St.
Andrews Church, in Duane street. corner OF
City Hall Place, were assembled st evening
Vespers The church was we'll filed, the con-
gregation for the most part consisting OF NO.
men and children. Adjoining the church are
the bare walls of Shaw crockery store, which
was burned few days ago.
The high wnd which prevailed, with the
heavy rain storm, battered against these uu-
supported walls, and about o'clock the west
wall gave way aud went crashing through the
roof, over which it topped, falling on the east
gallery, which at the time was crowded with
people, killing some and manning others. For
lunateIy the gallery withstood the severe shock,
otherwise the loss Of life would have been
muoh greater.
y panic seized the congregation aud rush
was made for the doors. A squad OF police
and the Gremen from the Chambers street Sta
ton were quickly Oh the spot and rendered
valuable assistance in removing the dead aud
dying from underneath the fabric. The am
balances from the Park Hospital, and strcchcrs
from the dearest police stations were buried
to the scene, and the injured were taken to the
Park Hospital, while the dead were either re-
moved to their homes or 10 the morgue.
ueO Tue news VI lue dCClucul WAS spiedu
throughout the city crowds hocked to the scene
Of disaster, and many anxious Inquiries were
made as to the extent Of the disaster, and even
up to midnight the steps of the Park Hospital
was surrounded by body of people eager to
hear any fresh details OF the occurrence.
