The National Republican Is very

marks that the Times, la saying that,
In the South, "thc General Govern
ment has intcrfefrd without having

authorities In accordance with the
Constitution makes "thc direct

guilty of usurputiOn of power, for
which he should he lmpcached and de-
posed from Office" but, adds the faith
ful organ, we !deny ITS truth most emf
phatically, and challenge the Times TO
bring forward It's proof" Well now,
we should think that an administers

THE DALLAS HERALD does not take
stock in the Cotton States Congress.
held ut Raleigh, North Carolina II few
days ago, because 1t was ignorant Of
show this Convention was appointed,
or who We're their constituents. That
they represented any large class of the
people OF the cotton States we do not
believe. AS far ms we can Judge from
their resolutions, they represented
merely the local interests of the North
west aud Southeast in other words,
the grain and meat and the cotton in
terests of those localities. The inter
ests of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana, Arkansas and TeXas-in other
words, the States producing more than
one.halt of the entire cotton crop of
the country appear to have been en-
tirely ignored" Well, what If they
were. The Convention announced tn
nothing more than u safety-valve
through which to let Oft a certain quail
ity of gas. Our c0temporary can rest
easy. The time is fast approaching
when all such windy and useless gath
erings will be tahooed. Give the gem
tlemen who foster and encourage them
rope enough, and they will soon play
out before the disgust OF a Conventions
ridden people, Memphis Appeal.
The Ledger of last evening con-
tanned an editorial complimentary of
Hon. Samuel j. Randall, of PenEsyl-
vania, suggesting him rs the most suit
able of the Democratic candidates for
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. The Ledger among other things
referred to his wsr!are against the ear
ruptions of the Republican party, and
particularly to the trying time during
the last session when he led the IN!
nority forforty-seven consecutive hours
in the terrible fight ngainSt the !nfa-
mOua force bill, and displayed II leader
ship which excited the admiration OF
his opponents. But we can go back be-
You'd that and recall the services of the
great Democratic leaders at time
when the Democracy was II hopeless
minority, and reconstruction was
fought at every step, and with
determination that would have
excited even "Old Hickory"
exacting as he was, In
those days MIR. Randall displayed all
the qualities of leadership, at the very
inception of his career proving his IT,
tie to any place in the gift of his party.
That he would make an able speaker
there can be no doubt, and rs little
that in that high and responsible office
he would obey the behests of his party
and make such disposition of its pat
ronage rs would satisfy the rank and
file alike. a strong man, Mr.. RAN
dali is worthy the confidence of the
Democracy, and eminenily worthy the
place 10 which his ambitio leads him
to aspire. He has q few strong and
worthy competitors, but not one who
could not and would congratulate him
heartily upon his successful contest of
the coveted position. He is popular
with his party, and has the confidence
of the people at large. Memphis APP
peal.
