A Good Man.

The name of B. ]. F. Hanna, OF Salina
has been suggested by some of our brethren
of the press for land Office appointment
He is qualified and deserving of any posi-
ton to which his extreme modesty may
permit him to aspire. He is veteran
journalist, an able, honest and big hearted
man, and bears with meekness the immor.
tai honor of being one of the God Fathers
OF the National Republican Party. Capt
Hanna further bears the distinguished hon
or of having been the intimate friend OF
President Lincoln. He Graves no further
honors. Now let him have some of the
emoluments in the gift Of his party

The Supreme Court.

A Chief-J ustice of the United States
should step from his home to the Bench
across the grave OF every partisan ambition
be has ever entertained. Every such am
bition should be buried too deep for any
resurrection. 1t is matter of public mo-
ment and public congratulation that Chief
Justice Waite has already formally refused
the urgent request OF judicious friends who
asked him to allow his name TO be present
ed as that Of candidate Tor the Presiden-
CIV. Mr.. Waite's reply has already been
made public. II is Straightforward and man.
Wand shows that he intends to avoid the err
TOR which was 10 fatal 10 Chase's fame, and
which is toying with Justice Davis. The
judicial mind is not usually fitted for ad-
ministrative politics. and impartiality can
not be preserved when man is tossed in
the whirlpool Of party passion. A Judge
who decides questions between COM
monwealths, between the nation and Its
several parts, who eXpounds the Constitu-
tion, from whose decision there il no APP
peal, should be above all personal ambi-
ton. Ii he drags his ermine in political
mire, he is unfit to wear the stained robe
Aman with his duties must not be an
adept in the lies of the caucus and the
tricks of the campaign, must not be .
maker OF states, a promiser of Offices, .
huckstering politician. This would be I'm.
seemlyD and wrong. 1t will be an evil day
for the United States if the Bench OF our
supreme Court is ever degraded into q
mere stepping stone for the Presidency. Mr..
Waite is wise, when he prefers to remain
for life the sixth Chief-Justice OF the Unit
ed States, rather than 10 try to become for
brief four years the nineteenth President
He is the Sixth Chief-Justice, although
ten appointments were made to the
Office before him. OF the men ap

lima, though he presided over the Suprem,

A gentleman who lives on Indian Creek
near the east line of this county, furnishes
US with the following particulars concern
ing an elopement from New Albany recent
ly: A gentleman by the name of DIR. John
Alders, aged about 65 years, who lived
about four miles northwest OF New Albany,
has been the physician in the family of a
Mr.. VIM. Fisher, living on farm joining
the townsite of New Albany. In this fami-
ly there was beautiful daughter of sweet
IL. During the past year Alders has made
his home at Fishers most of the time, but
no suspicious were aroused until short
time ago, at which time Alders was told by
Fisher that he should leave the premises,
which he did. Some three weeks
ago Fisher sold his farm and started
with his family TO Kentucky, his old
home. About this time Alders was missed
from the neighborhood and Intelligence As
where he was gone, was a letter from Fish
er inqUiring II he had returned home, and
where he was. Mr.. Fisher stated in his
letter that Alders had followed him into
Missouri, where he succeeded in stealing
his daughter, and that he could find no
trace of them. Alders left his wife and
several children in a destitute condition,
and they have been compelled to apply TO
their neighbors for-aasistance. He has not
been seen or heard OF since he was first
missed. 1t Is supposed that he and his
willing captive have taken up their abode
in some secret locality where they will
spend their remaining years, unless they
should be discovered by the ones they have
wronged, and be brought TO iustice.-Hor-

desert his bride of week. This is fol-
lowed by details of the daily life OF the
Herberts-that is the Becchers-af,er they
had become settled in their western home.
Times were hard with them, money
was scarce, health poor-the ague was

ABOUT LOGAN.

The Quincy Herald insists that Senator
Logan will be the Republican candidate
TOR Governor next year, and Hon. Shelby
McCull0m the candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. The Herald says: Logan
chances are desperate, but he does not
propose to give up without a desperate
effort to get back into the Senate. 1t is
well known to prominent Republicans
that Logan has entered into an agree
ment with Cullom, by which the two are
to run for Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor, with the understanding that if the
Republicans carry the Legislature Logan
Is to be elected to the Senate. That is
L0gnn's and Cullom's scheme. but there
are large number Of influential Repub-
licans who will interfere with the calcu-
iations Of the two aspiraats, if possible. .
