A CLINCHING ARGUMENT.

The Bowling Green Sentinel has been
cropping about in the dark for several
weeks, searching for something which
might be construed into an argument in fa-
yor of Keeping the county scat at Bowling
Green. Last week the object of its search
was discovered, and, amid 1ourish of
trumpets, il was brought forth. The rca-
son is peculiar in its character, and one
which we must admit has force. The Stn-
tmci bases its argument on the assumption
that nearly all Of the evil. disposed ucop,c
in the county live nearer to Bowling Green
than to any other place, and that it will
cost the county less to look after it's law
less citizens and subpoena Witnesses TO at
tend court at that obscure village than il
would with the county seat Mt any Other
point. There is force in that argument
and it will be stronger than ever after the
election, when the courts come to deal with
bribers and ballot-bOx stufTers.

The following is the pledge
which secured a favorable result
for Bowling Green at the former
vote on the removal of the
County Seat:
"VOtsrs, remember that If the
vote Of the county is cast for re-
moval, and the citizens of Bowling
Green do not construct the Court
House and Jail, as per agreement,
then no new buildings can be con-
structed until the people vote to tax
themselves for that purpose, and the
county seat must remain where it Is.

Z SOLUTION TN SIGHT.

We are almost persuaded to believe that
the Price Current and the Tines-the
latter being aided by intelligent out
slders- are about to solve the city debt
problem. The frs. named journal has
been wrestling with the question for many
years. In fact both have been put on
record by their proprietors for the time
being on the best plan how not to do it.
When there was Republican city adj
ministration, the REPUBLICAN intimated
that the best thing to do with the city
debt was to pay it, and the best way to
avoid future burdens resulting from in
terest and deprecated city scrip was to
faithfully collect the taxes and Keep ex-
penditures within the receipts. This
happened at time when it was the policy
to starve out the Republican administra-
tons, both State and city, and our con-
.emporaries withheld their approval of
our suggestions until such time as a Dem
ocratic administration should occur. They
are ready to adopt it now, and credit the
opposition with the glory Of having made
q discovery.

We believe this whole community will

Of Mr.. Parker to position in which but
few years ago he won golden opinions
from all sorts of people. Not that there
was any dissatisfaction with Mr.. Ringeold
or any desire for change The public
DO not consider it in that light But it
appears MI. Ringgold is wanted by his
government in another place. He has
been called to a field of duty in which his
experience is a guarantee Of efficiency.
And Of all the men in the State to become
the successor of NJ. Ringgold, j. N. G.
Parker is the most acceptable that we
know OF. He has an absolute talent for
the position. All the people regard him
as born postmaster, as one who is will
ing, Unnecessary to leave party of friends
al midnight, OF any other hour. and 90 to
his office, take OFF his coat, and wrestle
with the mail bags like good clerk or a

We may be sure that the eye of the new
postmaster will visit every department,
his firm bit just hand lie felt by all. and
his fidelity and zeal inspire the whole

York draft riot, they trotted perfectly
square in the Union harness, took every
exemption from military service that
offered, and every dollar of contract, and
never after interviewed in behalf of their
southern brethren in the South. They
even rendered. great aid to the Union
army IN going secretly into the Confed-
eracy, as was done by the Blairs, Vallan-
dlgham, and other more obscure Demo-
cratic emissaries. They endeavored to
persuade the Democratic leaders that if
they would forego further fighting and
come back into the Union they could be
relnstated in their position, and with the
aid OF the Ianke State rights Democrats,
the control of the federal government
could be speedily secured at the polls.
1t is proper to inquire what the South
ern State rights Democrat expects to gain
by the success of the Yankee State rights
Democrat of Connecticut. Is it recog-
milton OF the right Of a State to decide
''the mode and measure Of redress
proper IN conflict between the State and
federal governments Is it to obtain by
the vote OF manufacturing Connecticut
the repeal OF the protection, actual or in
cldental, OF our revenue laws? Is it to
procure the recognition or vindication
Of one single principle involved in the
late war, or affirmed by the sectional plat
form OF the Southern State rights Demo-
crat? We will assume that the Yankee
Democrats will no more sanction any
single item Of the Southern Democratic
creed than the Democratic Governor of
Ohio would have aided in the technical
instruction Of the fourteenth of Septem-
Der, which he rendered Democratic yolu,l-
teers to President Grant to suppress
Major Burke and Mr.. Zacharie ez-
planned that the griev ances Of the State
rights Democracy OF Louisiana had very
little to DO with the elections of last fall
and the elections Of Maine and Connect
cut prove that SO long as people have
grievances Of their own they will scarcely
take up those Of their neighbors.
Why, therefore, the Democrats of
Louisiana should denornce their fellow
citizens as unworthy OF confidence, and |
hurrah for the Success Of the Yankee De- |
of Connecticut, we can not con-
ceive. We can imagine no other reason than
because the Yankee Democrat possesses
those elements of political deception i'm
attributed to all his fellow-cit- |
liens. This capacity for political fraud,
this Indifference to political principle,
makes him valuable adjunct, and hence
bis accession to power is hailed as an
.yenue opened to the treasury.

ALL LIPS APPLIED TO ALL EARS,

The quid nuncs were in high state Of
excitement yesterday over the news an
noyncing changes in official positions
here. ''What could it all mean?" Some
thought Casey did it. Others laid it on
Packard, though all admitted that no one
knew anything about it. One very green
young man with long faxen hair and a
cigarette factory in his pocket was sure
it all proved that Senator West had lost
his grip in Washington. But as he was
hardly noticed by anybody, he retired
abashed and disappointed.
4 Yankee from the Rhine was puz-
zled because Mr.. Parker is asked to
give up fat position, where the pay is
good and the duty light, for one in which
these conditions are reversed. That beats
his knowledge of human nature He does
not happen to know that a man Of Mr..
Parker's active temperament lores work,
and that he has soul above the hireling.
We suppose the man of Teutonic origin
would rather be a swineherd with good
pay and light duty than ill an honorable
position that did not pay so we'll
Everybody seemed satisfied with the
changes. The only doubt was as to the
causes which produced them, the agents
who brought them about and the motives
which could induce Mr.. Parker to prefer
a situation of hard work to comparative
sinecure. This reform business has taken
such complete hold Of the average New
Orleans politician tina. he can think of
nothing else but the science and ethics of
Office holding.

ANOTHER CASE OF AGGRESSION AND
PUNISHMENT.

The Democratic city OF Annapolis, in
the thoroughly orthodox State Of Mary
land has just disgraced itself in the way
peculiar to localities afflicted with that
style Of politics. It was only q small
election, brt il was pretty big fuss.
The subservient news reporter, as usual
throws all the blame OF the negroes, by
declaring that they threw the first brick
bat. But the other parts of his statement
do not sustain The charge. The trouble
originated in the attempt of a Democrat
10 vote. IS the negroes made open op-
position to this, we presume there were
valid reasons why the offered vote should
be rejected. At all events, the colored
citizens had right to challenge it and
be satisfied Of its legality before the COM
missioners received Il, or if they could
not be easily Convinced, the Judges OF
election ought TO have overuled the OBJ
iections Of the challengers and permitted
them to file protests.
Instead Of this, however, a melee arose.
and some harmless shooting followed. Al
tie people around having by this time
lost their temper. the whites especially
being terribly incensed, grand row was
the most natural thing in the world. Some
were strolling about with cudgels
IN their hands. 4 white man thought
strolling about was luxury belonging
exclusively TO the superior race. He
therefore demonstrated with them and
pointed out the enormity OF their conduct.
For this piece Of in.ermeddling. and per-
aaps other conduc. omitted by the re-
porter. the negroes fred and wounded |
wo men. The Democrats thereupon
vent to work IN earnest, and eight or ten

The St. Louis papers are calling Tor
grand Jury that will tell something not al
ready known. They say they have heard
nj, about the poorhouse, workhouse, soup
house, condition of the plaster on the court
house, the price of flour at the charity
houses, and other information given to the
iudges for about ninety mine times. The
grand jury of St. Louis periodically reads
the old story, varying it occasionally with
family praising the Honorable superin-
sendent ,McGuinness for doing something
that he ought to do, and faintly damning
The honorable or dishonorable somebody
else for doing or not doing something which
the honorable jury can not comprehend.

wounded negroes was the result. The
ARRAY was finally terminated by the inter-
ference of white men of both parties.
So long as one race, whether superior in
numbers or not, assumes to override the
other and dictate their actions, so long
will these disgraceful scenes occur. The
more intelligent of the two is generally
the more blamable. We have seen so
much of it in this city, that we are fam
iliar not only with the means employed to
incite riots, but the plausible inventions
which are subsequently resorted to to lay
the blame on the weaker and less guilty
n9rtV
