THERE was an effort made TO locate
a United States Court of Appeals at
Louisville, recently. Cincinnati was
the compel ng city for the ''honor,
and was successful. The latter city
should not be allowed to monopolize
all of the good and great things of
this life. She has succeeded in getting
the National Radical Committee To
hold their Convention there, and now
has the Appellate Court, and was try
ing to get the Democratic Convention.
Still not happy, she wants to get the
Southern Railway completed from her
gates to the far South. If all these
things were hers, the airs SIZE would
put on, would be uncomfortable.

THE case of Babcock is one Of the
most remarkable ever known Of the
kind in this country. In the first
place, he was the private Secretary
and pet of the President of the United
States, and a favor;te Of the Presidents
family. The government was his ac'
cuser, charging him, Babcock. with
frauds upon the revenues Of the coun
try. The President himself was call
ed, and testified as a witness in behalf
Of the accused. So far as this proof
went, Babcock was exhonerated.
Whether or not he was guilty Of the
charges preferred against him, Of
course all men who are acquainted
with the proof, will determine for
themselves.

Trr rush to California in 1880,

Tar rush to California IN 1880,
when the gold excitement was so
great, was not greatcr than that which
exists ct the present timc over the dis
covcry e gold IN the Black Hills.
FROM sll PARTS IF the country we
learn that there are companies form
ing, in numbers varying from so TO
600. The government seems to have
given a tacit consent to the forming OF
,uch expeditions. At any rate, there
seems to be no very serious objections
70 these companies Of gold seekers go
ing into the gold regions Of the Black
Hills. True it is that the Indians
have that country rs a reservation,
but it is also true that ifthe gold there
IN Is allowed to remain there until the
Red Skins get it out and coin il, the
world will come to an end before they
will have accomplished such an end.
We say, let the Indian have the land,
but give the miners a chance to dig
out the gold from under the surface.
That would not only be to the ben
eft Of the civilized world, but the saw
age a. we'll.

As there has been such a clamor
raised over the heads of the members
Of the Legislature on account of the
little work that has been done by that
august Assembly during the past fifty
odd days, it is thought that they will
adjourn at the end of the Constitution
al limit, sixty days. They appropria.
ted $1,000 for the Centennial, passed
a large number Of local bills which
could have been passed at far less ex-
pense Eat home," but beyond these,
what have the members dom? We
pause for reply. If they can do no
better la the future than they have
done in the past, the sooner an adj
journment is effected, the better. Next
time, let the people know what their
would-be representatives intend to do,
and then We may ground hope on
their promises.

CoSKLIxe. one Roscoe Conkling, said
10 Congress the other day, that the
slime would come. if it had not ALREADY
come, when Congress should declare
the birthday Of Abraham Lincoln n
legal holiday" Of course Mr., Conk
ling thinks so. 1t is to his interest,
he no doubt thinks, that he should give
utterance to such an opinion. He is
. candidate for the Presidency, and is
foolish enough to believe that by the
utterance Of such sentiment he can
and will gain favor in the eyes of the
"loyal.' lie forgets, however, that
Lincoln was sectional President, cho'
son by u rabid and sectional party.
and not by the united voices Of a uni
ted people, as Washington was. Why,
then, should Lincoln's name be per.
petuated and honored as that of the
immortal Washington?
