AT THE Congressional convention
held at Jacksonville, Florida, on Tuesday
last, Hon. Horatio Bisbee, jr, was nom
mated to represent the Second district On
the Saturday previous Hon. VIM. J. Pur-
man. the present incumbent of the First
district, was renominated at Tallahassee.
Both conventions indorsed the action of
the State convention held June 1, at which
Governor Stcsrns was renominated for
Governor, and Hon. David Montgomery
was put in nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. AS these conventions were com
posed of the strongest men in the State,
representing the various interests of the
Republican party, it is evident the inten-
tion to present united front to Ethe
Democracy and save to Republicanism one
of the most reliable of the Southern States.
Union men, the land over, cannot but feel
intense satisfaction at this result Those
who have made sacrifices of a personal
character in this movement in order to in
sure the electoral vote of Florida will be
entitled to the consideration and gratitude
of all who have the true interest of the
country at heart. Florida may be consid-
cred no longer doubtful.

COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS.

The Hon. John L. Vance, of Ohio, through
some of his Democratic organs, betrays
great trepidation lest the people of his dis
trict may, il the coming election, consign
him to the shades of private life, from
which he emerged into the present Con-
gress by sheer accident. We have no
doubt he begins to feel sdmonished of his
coming fate, for we are assured that his dis
trict, which is decidedly Republican in
sentiment, will not repeat the mistake it
made two years ago in his election. Aside
from his politics, which are bad enough,
he has proved himself an unsafe depository
of power He is insincere, unreliable anu
unprincipled in the discharge of his duties
as legislator, and hence does not com
mand that respect to which his position
should entitle him.
His principal role in the late session of
Congress was to wage relentless war upon
the Government printing office, its chief
officer and the employees therein engaged.
This was evidently done, not so much in
the interest of economy and reform, as to
secure for outside parties contracts with
millions in them, in which there was a re-
mote prospect that he himself might be
benefited. His war upon the printing de-
partment of the Government evidently
sought to accomplish these ends First, to
ruin the reputation and cause the downfall
of the Congressional Printer; second, to
transfer the printing of the proceedings
and debates of Congress to Franklin Rives
without competition, and at a compensa
ton such as he might dictate; third, to dis
tribute the executive printing among his
coadjutors in this city, as reward for their
services in wsging war of persecution
against the Office and its head; and, fourth,
to reduce the compensation of the printers
and bookbinders engaged in that branch of
the public service.
The investigation prosecuted to attain
these ends was conducted unfairly and un-
justly, without any proper respect for the
principles of good faith and common JUS
tice. 1t was secret inquisition, from
whose proceedings the Congressional
printer, as appears from the report OF the
minority of the committee, was carefully
excluded, except when before it to give
testimony. No fair opportunity was
afforded him for defense, explanation
or examination of the testimony, even
after the committee had labored three
months for its secret accumulation, or
for him to introduce witnesses In rebut-
tai thereof. In this Mr.. Vance, as we
confidently believe, violated his faith fire.

THE EMOTIONS wrung from young and

THE EMOTIONS wrung from young and
wayward girl, pure at heart possibly,
when on awakening in the morning after
her first debauch she realizes the appalling
horror of her situation, and when the
terrible agonies of remorse come rushing
in upon her bewildered imagination, we
conjecture must be somewhat akin to
those feelings of utter deg -adation which
are said to harrow me souls of men who
have once LED blameless lives when dis
covering that they have been seduced into
prostituting high public trusts to advance
personal interests. We do not imagine
for a moment that Mr.. Bluford Wilson
ever experienced such mental agitation,
but we do venture to predict that the mind
of man Of different mold might posi-
bly, have been tortured by slight twinges
for conscience sake after detailing before q
Congressional investigating committee
such a series of utterly fallacious
and contradictory statements as those
volunteered by the exSolicitor of the
Treasury regarding the Presidents
alleged connection with the whisky
frauds. We have been disposed to treat
these vindictive onslaughts upon the honor
of the President of the United States as he
himself wisely treats them-with that 81
lence and contempt they deserve, and we
would not have referred to them at all,
much less to their mendacious author had
he not recently, in the face of the most in
disputable testimony to the contrary, and
damning evidence against his own credi-
bility under any and all circumstances, had
the assurance, the brazen effrontery, to re-
hearse the vile slanders in quarters he
knew were not informed, especially as to
the true causes which led to Mr.. Bluford
Wilson's sudden retirement from Office, as
well as the aninpus which prompted his
subsequent attitude toward man far too
high for his shafts ever to strike, and a
party, whatever may have been its errors
in bestowing its confidence, entirely too
powerful to suffer punishment from a
pigmy.

DEMOCRATIC DoGMAs.

However much we may, as rule, de-
precate at any time religious disputations,
arousing as they invariably do the bitterest
animosities, exciting the most vindictive
and ungovernable passions and appealing
to the blindest prejudices known to man
kind, yet there are occasions when such
discussions become absolutely unavoidable;
especially when assuming politlco-reli-
gious character they involve the great
principles of religious and civil freedom
upon which this Government was founded,
and when they menace the very life of the
social fabric under which we have so hap
PLY lived and prospered for the past cen
fury. The debate in the United States
Senate few nights since on what is
known as the school amendment to the
Constitution is a notable case in point,
wherein the Democracy, true to their
ancient traditions and Stimulating a devotion
to exploded doctrines, bolted the real issue
and injected into the debate the ridicu-
lously absurd idea that the proposed
amendment was nothing more than a
political trick introduced by the Repub-
lican party for partisan purposes. In
other words, the Republican party was
fatty accused of thrusting into the present
campaign the broad issues which divide
Protestant and Catholic on the school
question, simply as means of subscribing
purely partisan interests
1t is undoubtedly against the spirit of
American liberty, as we received it from
our fathers, to prescribe any creed or sect,
or to condemn any one for his or her reli-
gious opinions. But when a particular
sect. in pursuing its religious teachings,
assails the very bulwark3 of our freedom,
and threatens destruction to the foundations
of our social structure in its violent and
persistent opposition to our public school
system, then the question assumes far
different aspect, and becomes one of the
gravest import to every true lover OF the
liberties of the land. Under such circum
stances who will deny but that it behooves
the American public to protect itself, and
guard well that liberty aud that system by
the strongest constitutional guarantees.
This is the object of the proposed amend
ment and nothing more. In the recent de-
bate in the Senate the ablsst speech by far

printer and to Mr.. Ballou, the minority Of
the committee, during the progress of the
examination. This one feature Of his char
acter as public man shows him to be un-
worthy the confidence and trust reposed in
him by the people. for none in this Gov
eminent but truthful and honorable men
should be intrusted with the sacred duty
of law-making.
After having made for himself in one
session of Congress such record it is lot
surprising that Mr.. Vance should see the
hand writing on the wall and feel admon-
ished that he will not soon again, with
the consent of the people of a Republican
district. have occasion to burlesque Amerl-
can statesmanship. In this instance he
has failed in all things except to establish
for himself an unenviable reputation as
statesman and fair and just man. He
should, and will be defeated. Every Re
publican vote in the district should, and
will be, cast against him. The aid of the
printers in the Government printing office
will not be required to accomplish that end.

brutal assault on Professor Gardner, an old
man of quite sixty years. He may have been
called a thief by Gardner, but even thatprovo-

South Carolina Republicans are not al
together blameless for the Hamburg and other
riots in that State, for last winter, when they
justly contemplated the impeachment of the
adventurous Chamberlain, they were deferred
from doing so by the threats of the Neos and
Courier and the Union Herald, which declared
that "if that Impeachment resolution Is intro
duced the rifle clubs must shoot from the gal
1eries every Radical rascal who votes to sus-
tain it,
There are but thirty-two counties in South
Carolina. If Republicans will attempt to vote
at but three precincts in each county it will
enable the Government to place a squad of
twenty soldiers at each of these, under the
command of trusted subalterns, who can easily
see to it that American citizens are not shot
down in cold blood simply for voting for the
candidates of their choice. Two thousand

enough to teach Wade Hampton and his fol-
lowers that this is indeed a free Republic.
Wade Hampton's declared policy is as fol-
lows "Let my friends remain passive until
election day, and then spring up, fully armed,
as if by magic at every precinct, and my word
for it the Radicals will be frightened away,
and we can gain the day without killing but
few negroes" This arch traitor thus decl ares
his purpose to secure his election by open in
timidation and murder. Republicans should
attempt to vote at not more than two or three
precincts in each county, where theipresence
of few ''boys in blue" will deter Mr.. Hsmp-
toms followers from perpetrating their atrocious
designs.
