"A PAIR"

Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, was paired
with MI. Ben Hill, of Georgia, when the
Hawaiian treaty bill passed. If both had
been present, Mr.. Kelley, a Northern
man, would have voted in favor of protec-
ton to Southern industry, while Mr.. Hill,
a sort of idol in the South, would have
voted against it. We can not see what
use the constituencies of the South have
for such representatives as Mr.. Hill. He
does not seem to have any sympathy with
our industrial interests, but is a pro-
fuse and fluent gusher when the alb
stract question of Southern rights
is under discussion. To the credit
Of the Democratic members from Loui-
siana, be it said, they threw their infu-
ence on the right side. Messrs. Ellis and
Gibson voted against the bill, while Mr..
Levy Cancelled the vote of the Democratic
Schumacher, who was in favor of the bill.
We are unable to see that Mr.. Darrall or
MIR. Nash was paired with anybody, or
took any part in this important contest
They may have been absent by order of
the House, or paired, but it is not so
stated on the journal.
The history of this case makes US hope
that the people of Philadelphia will con-
tnue to send that tried friend of the
South, MIR. Kelley, to Congress as long as
Atlanta elects Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Kelley may
not be able to accomplish much good for
the South in opposition to Mr.. Hill'svot
but he can spike his gun so that he can do
no harm. Many thanks to the Centennial
city for her champion of Southern inter-
ests against the hostile votes of Southern
members.

The Summit Times, Of Mississippi, notices

Yankee razor strop style. They are first

THE CONTEST IN THE SUPERIOR DIS
TRICT COURT.


This most unpleasant dispute has occu-
pied the attention of the public for three
or four days, and fairly divided interest
with the whisky trials, the street fights
between Barrett, Hogan and others, the
presence Of the Emperor Of Brazil and
suite, the Hawaiian treaty and other topics
of more or less importance. A commits
sion has been issued to General Hugh ].
Campbell by Governor Kellogg for the
place, but it seems Judge Lynch, the in
cumbent, backed by the opinion of the
Attorney General and the assistance of
the civil sheriff, refuses to recognize its
validity, and holds the position.
As usual. nearly every body has diff
ferent theory about this dispute, some of
which are puerile and ridiculous. Among
others, which, unfortunately, found its
way into this paper is the plea that dur
ing the temporary absence of the Gov
ernor from the State, the Lieutenant Gov
eruor was mot authorized to exercise
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-05-27

executive functions, and hence, his COM
mission to Judge Lynch is without effect.
This is not in accordance with the letter
of the law or the practice in this State.
Other executive acts performed by Lieu
tenant Governor Antoine have remained
unquestioned, and it is difficult to see
how the case in consideration can be
made an exception.
The leading principle involved raises
the question, can the Governor, after
having made an appointment to fill q
vacancy, where the law devolves such q
duty upon him, subsequently reconsider
his action and appoint some one else
As this is Judicial question, we shall
not express an opinion upon it at this
time, though we are under the impression
that an answer can be found in some of
the decisions of the Supreme Court.
There is no analogy between this case
Of Lynch vs.. Campbell and that of Ken
nard vs.. Morgan. In the latter the court
decided the controversy upon the SUBJ
stantial point that Judge Kennard's COM
mission expired at the end of the session
of the Senate in December, 1872, as pro-
vided by the constitution. Hence, when
the Senate met in regular session in JAN
uary there was an undoubted vacancy,
and the action of Acting Governor Pinch
back in issuing com mission to Morgan
was correct and regular. The principle
involved in the present controv ersy was
not passed upon by the court
If it be sound principle Of law, as it
seems to be urged by Judge Lynch and
the Attorney General, that the exercise of
the appointing power in case Of vacancy
in Office exhausts that power, and that
the commission thus issued is good till
the end of the next session of the Senate,
there is nothing to be done further in the
matter unless an extra session of the
Senate be called, and new name sent in
and confirmed. The Governor may either
do this or sign the bill abolishing the
court, if in his judgment the gravity and
Of the subject demands such
action.

CAN IT BE TRUE7

The Democracy have boosted greatly Of
the appointment of Mr.. English, of Con-
necticut, to the Senate of the United
States. he has been superseded by Mr..
Barnum.
We have the authority of publication
in the New York Tribune, and the COM
ment of the New York Nail for supposing
that Mr.. English paid twenty thousand
dollars to the Democratic State committee
for expenses of the late campaign. 1t is
also stated that Mr.. Barnum, the COM
petitor of Mr.. English, purchased su-
perior influence from the same committee
tor the sum of fifteen thousand dollars.
We have heard sometimes of very
adroit trader, selling an article for one
sum, and stealing it and resclling it for q
less sum to another purchaser. Such
tricks, while they fill the pockets of the
knave WHO perpetrates them, excite the
condemnation Of all respectable people.
Mr.. Barnum evidently bought bargain
in buying over again, and at less price,
the appointment which his competitor
supposed himself to have secured.
We infer that these two sums of twenty
thousand and fifteen thousand dollars
must have gone directly into the pockets
of the Democratic members. The voters
must have been bought and paid for pre-
cisely, as was alleged to have been done
in the case Of Spencer and others.
With the high moral purity assumed for
the Democracy, we are not permitted to
imagine that any one of its members is
capable of an act of fraud The simple
sublimity of Democratic virtue would
prevent any person bearing that name
from robbing the government either be-
fore it received the revenues, or after they
came into its hands.
Itds very true that Democracy has had
limited opportunities to test the official
integrity Of all its members. Nothing,
perhaps, vindicates the character from
suspicion so perfectly as never having had
an opportunity to do wrong. Yet Tweed,
the great centennial thief, stood high in
the Democrats party. Fitzbugh tes-
titles degree of intolerance and ra-
pacity for patronage, which in any one else
except DEMO- rat, would have been con-
sidered conclusive proof 1t was wholly
unnecessary to have charged this man
with lunacy, wien he had already been
convicted of Democracy. Were it not
established by the violent threats of the
Democracy tina. no member of that party
can commit criminal offense or poll
teal error, we should think the alleged
purchase of Democratic votes in the Con-
necticut Legislature should be investi-
gated by the Senate. Remembering,
however, the infallibility of Democracy,
and the terror with which they overspread
all the. cotton fields and chapparel Of the
South, we have no expectation that Se1a-
tor English will be required to explain |
how, in attempting to buy his Democratic |
election, he got sold himself; nor will Mr..
Barnum be called on to show how he |
scooped his Democratic competitor by
buying up the vote of the latter at a dis
count. The moral of the transaction may
be that politics are very uncertain, and it |
is best not to pay in advance. We do |
not, however, expect the infallib!e DEM
ocrecy will move for an investigation.

Tillers of the soil who make their

all their operations many months in
advance. Our best farmers do not
wait until the growing season has ad-
vanced SO far that it is time to start the
plough, before they have determined
what crops they will raise. They will
tell you what crops are to be cultivated
on this plot and in that field. for several
years to come. But there are great
many farmers who have no system
whatever in the arrangement Of their
farm affairs. To many instances. a
plot Of ground, or portion of field,
is half ploughed before the proprietor
has decided what sort Of crops shall be
grown here and there. The correct
way for farmers to manage is. to draw
a cheap map Of all the oultivable land,
during the winter, when there is leisure
for such duties end then, 60 out on
the land and deliberate concerning the
different crops that may be raised with
the most satisfactory profit. After the
premises have been thoroughly explored,
and future plans properly digested. en-
