A BILL FOR THE PROTECTION or OfFICE-
HOLDERS.

We should like mot merely ne matter OF
curiosity to see an authentic statement OF the
amount of money contributed 10y the Federal
office holders in New -Ilampslre toward de
fraying tho expenses Of the Republican party
during the late canyas,-toward paving the
charges of the Hon. Julius Caesar Burrows
and other natucut rhctonCians from foreign
rart-, and in aid Of the bribery and corruption
fund which has been layishly employed.
These are points 10 which we call tho attention
of Mr. Hewitt Of Alabama, who has introduced
"A hill in the House designed ito prohibit con
"tributlons from officers and employees Of the
Government for political purposes We trust

resignation until after he had loft England ;
but we need hardly point out the very. undig-
nifed manner in which the diplomatic repre-
sentative of the United States is shown to have
abandoned the post from which the pressure
of public opinion had compelled the President
TO order his removal. Neither perhaps Is 1t

Mr. Clymcr is, to say the least. very unfol-
tunate. His neglect to hold Mr.. Marsh was by
itself q bad enough business, but Gen. Kid
doo's testimony goes to show that an equally
reprehensible bluDdcr was made in tho case OF
Mrs Marsh, who has now gone to Canada to
ioin her husband. While it ia clearly evident
that the Belknap exposure grew out OF quar-
rel between Mrs Marsh and Mrs. Belknap.
and that consequently the hearsay statements
starting from Mrs. Marsh are to be received
with caution. it is yet apparent at glance
that her testimony was likely to be important.
Even if the story Of the connection of the
Belknaps with Mr. Pendoton's Kentucky Cen
trail Railroad claim had not been known to
Mr.. Clymer. it would have been mere matter
of prudence to have subpenacd Mrs. Marsh as
to the pOst-tradership scandal. But after Gen.
Kiddoo had shown to Mr.. Clymer strong
reason for suspectine that the BelkDaps shared
in the benefit of the railroad claim, the weak
est Of common sense should have dictated
prompt measures to secure Mrs. Marsh's testl-
mony. One blunder of the sort might suffice
to close an ordinary political career. But two!

What time Of explanations and indications
they had in tho Senate yesterday Mr.. Simon
Cameron explained that he had always lived
within his income, and in his thirty years OF
stay iii Washington had never been mixed up
with any schemes or Rings. The Senate lis
tened to this astounding information in enthu-
siastio silence. Senator West of Louisiana
then denounced an unmitgated falsehood
in some newspaper concerning himself
Senator Logan Of Illinois denounced
an unmtigated falsehood. Nh Ed
munds indicated his Committee. Mr.
Conkling loftily explained that he was never
accustomed to pay attention to newspaper at
tacks, that he was convinced they had less in
fuence now than ever, and that time would
come when they would be considered as con
spiracy and defamation against our institutions
themselves. And then Mr.. Logan explained
that he had never had anything to do with
whisky in the whole course of his life. In
" short, he pronounced all of tho statements
concerning himself infamous hes" And then
the Senate felt better.

Mississippi State Republican Con-
ventiOn.

The ackson correspondent of the Vicks
bury Herald was present at the meeting of
the Republican State Convention OF Miss
issippi, and relates what transpired in the
following Language:
The Republican State Conyention adj
iourned in confusion and disorder at .
O'Clock this morning. The majority Of the
delegates to the Cincinnati Convention are
Bristow men, the minority for that
brother to the Devil, Morton. Pinchbacl
was in attendance and spoke an entertain
ing colloquial piece. Through all of his
illiterate aud ungrammatical talk, there was
a wen of humor and sarcasm, and occa-
sionally some good sense. lie dvised his
colored hearers to dismiss from their minds
amy idea that the Federal governmen would
ever use its soldiers to help them ride into
power. they must stand by their own man
mood, else they would go down to the OBJ
Mvion they deserved. lilo pitched into the
carpet-bag adventures in II way that gave
the Impression that he had ex-Gov. Ames in
his minds eye. To-day, the Morton wing
of the Republican party are wearing scowl-
withthern the results of yesterday IS Conven-
tion; they are bearish and dynamitic. On
the other hand, the Lake-Lea- Musgrove
anri-extremists are quite happy. a itlen-
ton of Alcorns name by Finch, in Ills
speech, started the Convention into APP
plause, or more properly into howls ana
yells. The Convention was the most
respectable Republican body have ever
aeen assembled in this State, but theiI
proceedings were in large part shameful and
disgraceful.

Geo. e. Bovee, late Secretary of State, and
a well-informed Republican, supplies us
with the following information:
There seems to be a strong probability
thkt the contest for the Republican nomin-
Alton Tor Governor will be between the Hon.
ri. II. Packard and Ex-Governor Warnoth
The former has a large number of warm
personal and political friends who will pre-
sent his claims with great force, energy and

ada will give him a strong support, if una
BILE to unite upon man of their own sec
ton, while New Orleans and many Of the
parishes in the middle and Southern por-
lions of the State will increase his strength.
Governor Warmoth, notwithstanding his
defeat in 1877, has steadily been gaining
ground for several years past and is now
more spoken of as candidate for Governor
than any other man. - e..sI .s.
