MATTERS

We have received the first number
of the Little Cassion, published at Bur.
lington, Coffey county, by Rob't. B.
Smythe. aged 10 years. 1t is a very
creditable little paper, and while it will
probably never amount to anything, yet
it will be the foundation of an ability
and desire for work on Roberts part that
will in after years lead to something
greater.

The results of last falls and this winters cleo
tons in Pennsylvania move the Pittsburg Gazette
to say that the prospects for republican success
next November are as bright as need be.
The Frederick, Md, Times keeps the name of
Hon. James G. Blaine at the head of its columns
as the proper man to be nominated by the Repub.

The Troy Wing tells the republicans that they
must nominate for President some man who can

said: "The evidence now patent to all certainly

Benz. II. Hill OF Georgia is a man OF such
VIGOROUSLY bad antccedents that he is near
ly 50 offensive to men who were loyal in
time of the rebellion as jeff Davis himself.
Hill is the same person who offered in the
Confederate Congress the resolve to raise
the black flag and give no quarter to
Union soldiers taken prisoners within the
confederate lines. That resolution read
as follows: "That every person pretend
Sing to be a soldier or officer of the Unit
led States who shall be captured on the
"soil of the Confederate States after the
"1st day of January, 1868. shall be pre-
.'sumed to have entered the territory OF
.'the Confederate States with the intent to
''incite instruction and abet murder; and,
"unless satisfactory proof be adduced to
"the contrary before the military court
"before which the trial shall be had, shall
"sufer DEATH"
This is also the same Hill who recently
defended jeff Davis on the floor Of the
House of Representatives at Washington.
in reply to Mr.. Blaine, and assailed Lincoln
and Stanton as responsible for the horrors
at Andersonville. Yet, bad as is the
character OF Hill, he was invited to dem
ocratic banquet which took place at Ban
gor last week, and the democratic paper
of that city mentions his name with praise
and parades his letter in its columns for
its readers to gaze upon. The democrats
of Bangor could take only one step farther
in Difference to the rebel cause and its
leaders, that is, to invite jeff Davis to be
their guest. Bangor was loyal to the core
in the time of the rebellion, is it possible
that the men who then stood up in that
city for the cause of the Union, can now
witness in their midst ovations to the
Hills and Davises of the South without
feeling outraged.
