POLITICAL NOTES.

The Republicans of Kentucky have changed
the time for holding their State Convention from FeD
II to May H. THey Will meet at Louisville.
BY ludicrols mistake the dispatches from
Albany were made to say Saturday that Senator
Jacobs demanded in the Senatorial inyesiga-
ton OF charges OF ugtrutnfulnsss that had been made
against the Kings County delegation. Tho charge was
OF yenality and IL was this accusation that Senator
Bradley's Commit tee pronounced untOunden, aI%r
patient ma protractcd iyest CATION OF Is minutes NO
coYfespoAdent in Albany would willingly To responsiOio
for tho extraordinary st%teneut that any ooIy eye
thought IL worth wbc 20 MAKE charge OF uuIruthih'
ness In an Albany ca Icus.
The State press is unusually united In its
praise OF Senator K.Tnan. Republican ana Democratic
Journals vie with each other In pralsing hs ability aud
Integrity and not single Journal OF any prominence
has word to say in his disparagement The Utiea
Herald published Mr.. Kernsn's home, says Of him;
Had Tammsuy named Judge Church, ex GOV Hof
man. Mr. Murphy, Mr. Herman would have got very
few votes. But we are OF opinion John Kelly has met
defeat In his third victory He has chosen man who
will not look TO Kelly for counsel In tho position OF
leader, Mr.. Herman Will have more independents than
any other Democrat who could have been chosen From
the ranks OF tho Democratic party we do not think "a
Senator could have chosen who would reflect more
credit on his State than Francis Kernau. or mature
years. not Old OF vigorous intellect imposing pres
ence and extensive acquaintance with men and anrs.
tue 5eualOr will. save in experience take rank On
rood an orator as Mr. seymour he a debatcr
and 40 ready to give aud receive hard blows"
The organs which treat tho report OF the
Louisiana INVESTIGATING Committee with q shadow OF
fairness counted the fingers OF one hand Tbs
vast majority deliberately read Messrs. Phelps and
Foster Of the Republican party and pronounce the
document q Democratic report. They have all along
said Wait till the Committee reports before you con'
denim the President" and now that the Committee has
reported and thereby pleely ruined tbs Presidents
position they stand by him and abuse the COMMITTEE
Il is cheerful siZn to 6nd q few good Republican
Journals with sufficient scfrespect to depart from tnis
partisan Course the Philadelphia Inquirer ann I"<
Uit5a herald are notable Illustrations OF this honest
conduct The latter says: We opposed to tho uso
Of the United States army TO sustain q government
which wanted by the people IL rules which Ia not
believed by them TO be rightully in power; which Il
guilty OF objectionable violations Of law which Il suck
ing the life blood Of this State and which, above ALL
is not republican in form fact and Is therefore un
constitutional In assuming this position we stand
upon ground OF the Republican Congressional In'
vesiigating Committed, where we promised 60 stand;
Were nearly all tho Republican Journals OF the state
have promised stand" The Hsratd adds uFthtr at
particulars whore the report cOnttadcts tina
Presidents message II prefers 10 believe the report
because the latter from cOncenous aud uh.
rammeled committee, and the President has obtained
all OF his Information from Kellogg officials VINO were
not impartial witnesses.
