A Rebel Brigadier's Honor.

In the House, last Monday, Mr.. Blaine
had just finished reading the Mulligar
letters TO the House. and proceeded "a
remark that but one link was wanting in
the chain Of evidence TO exculpate him
aud that was the testimony OF Josiah
Caldwell, and that the Judiciary Com
mittee had, several days previous, voted
to send that gentleman a cable dispatch
Turning to Confederate Brigadier Gener
al Proctor Knott, Chairman OF the Judi
ciary Committee, he asked
Mr.. Blaine-I ask the gentleman from
kentucky il that cable dispatch was sent.
Mr.. Knott-The gentleman from Vir
ginia (Hunton) and have both endeay.

not yet got IT,
Mr.. Blaine-Has the gentleman from
Kentucky received a cable dispatch from

Mr.. Knott will explain that direct

purporting to be from Caldwell. How

Mr.. Blaine, advancing down the aisle }
When did you get that dispatchl
Mr.. Knott want you to answer my
question first.
Mr.. Blaine never heard Of It till
yesterday.
Mr.. Knott-How did you hear it2
Mr.. Blaine heard that you got dis.
patch last Thursday morning, from JOSH

cheering from the Republican side Of the
House and in the galleries, which caused
the Speaker pro TEN. to lecture the gal
leries, aud TO direct the doorkeeper to
clear the floor Of all unauthorized per.

After some time spent in having order
restored, Mr.. Blaine again returned to
the charge and demanded Of Mr.. Knott
an answer to his question.
Mr.. Knott (contsmptuously)-l will
answer when ! get ready. Go on with
your speech.
A true specimen OF rebel honor. Here

telligent and cultivated people delight
to honor
But one remains to mention of the
four, and that one the unanimous choice
Of the Republicans OF Ohio-one who has
been thrice our Governor, and who has
beaten, on closely contested fields, the
three strongest candidates tho Democ-
racy could bring against him. and each
OF the three n Presidential aspirant.
Governor Hayes can not claim the
prominent record in National councils
| that belongs to the other three Of the
/ great quadrilateral His service has lain
within narrower limits; but his record is
none the less true and his promise for
the future none the less fair In all OF
his many weighty trusts he has filled the
full measure Of their need; there is no
place within the gift of the Nation to
which his merit would prove unequal
And he has far above them all, the ad
vantage Of no antagonisms, the advan
tage OF no weak points in his armor, the
advantage that all wings and factions
could unite upon him without the
smothering of a single enmity, without
the burying Of a single prejudice, with
out the sacrifice of a single principle

from the start, that Gov. Hayes is the
most available candidate in the field.
We are happy then in the embarrass
ment OF our riches. Fall the choic'
where it may. among these four. we shall
have candidate worthy of our cause
worthy Of our people. and worthy of tn,
most confident assurance of a magnif
cent success. With the energy ant
force of Blaine, with the weight ant
power Of Morton, with the lofty charaC
ter and brilliant parts Of Conkling. o
with the sterling worth and fidelity o
Hayes, we can sweep the country with
rush of triumph. And so, as the contes
narrows in this coming week of thrillin
excitement-as in our crowded battle
field the beat Of drum. the sound q
moving squadrons, the ring of the trun
pet call, and the noise Of assembling ba
talions are held by night and by day
; we can lay our heads upon our pillow
with quiet confidence that all is goin

SPEAKER KEER

We are forced to the conclusion that
the Democratic Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives is not only petty ras-
cal but n periured man
A man named Harney was Assistant
Doorkeeper OF the House in 1866. He
swears that man named Green gave
him, Harney, money to buy Lieuten-
ants commission in the regular army,
and that he bought the commission from
Mr.. Kerr, who was then a member Of the
House, and that he paid Kerr $3.50
Green swears that he gave Harvey the
money Now Kerr comes upon the wit
ness stand and swears that it is all lie I;
that he eut no money, and he did not
know Harney. Here is direct conflict
OF testimony, but the damning fact ap.
pears from the records that Kerr pro-
cured the appointment OF Green, and
that he was in every way qualified for
the place Kerr admits that he had
Green appointed, but says he was not ac
quainted with him. Kerr was a Demo
cratic member from Indiana, and a bitter
copperhead at that, while Green was q
Republican, residing in New York. II
is we'll known that when a member oi
Congress has the recommending for sp
pointment of n cadet or an officer in the
regular army, that there are dozen ap
plicants in the members own district.
Now why did Mr.. Kerr select a tota
stranger, and Republican, in the State
of New York, in preference to one of his
own personal and political friends and
constituents lie cannot explain it
That $3.50 explains it.
A poor attempt has been made to break
down the character of Harney, but hi
character appears to be better thar
Kerr's. 1t has been proven that Mr.
Kerr was q member Of the treasonabl'
Sons of Liberty, and on one occasion, h
denied this under oath. Kerr's reputa
ton for truth has been damaged.

Some of the stock kholders of the Mar
row Gauge Railroad are coming forward
and paying up their insla..nlsnts, but
there is holding back all along the line,
which will much retArd the progress Of
the work.
The following is taken from a report
Of a meeting at Springfield. which We
find in the Republic. Of that place:
The President of the meeting stated
the fact to be that this enterprise was
now at a standstill from this one thing
the subscriptions were not paid as re
quired by agreement, nor as called for
urgently by the President Of the Board,
and also the local Directors.
Mr.. Warder stated in answer to ques.
tion as to the designs Of the Directors,
that their intentions were to spend the
receipts from subscriptions in the con.
stTuction Of the portion Of the road near.
est to the points Of collection, until such
portions were finished, and have hopes
of being able to collect sufficient from
such subscriptions 10 complete the road
from Jackson to Wayerly-25 miles
and from Springfield to Bainbridge-6C
miles. This would give an ample securi
ty to the bonds which would be required
to be sold and enable the Directory tc
raise means sufficient to finish that part
between Bainbridge and Wayerly with
out loss on the securities.

1t is said that when Blaine takes hold
Of his rebel enemies, he handles them in
manner to remind one of terrier sha-
king a rat.
This is how he shook that miserable
rebel rat Tarbox, until he wriggled and
s1uirmed like a crushed worm:
Mr. Blaine-I never supposed that oc-
casion should rise when should desire
or be induced to state that transaction
to the House. Before / left my home
last autumn to resume my public duties
here, | did as many gentlemen have
done, prepared a speech on an absorbing
public question, the currency. 1t was
printed at a newspaper office, with which
| was for many years connected. 1t was
printed "in confidence" on the top Of
that speech 1t was sacredly
coNFIDED TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,
with the intimation that whoever found
himself in the possession of a copy of it
before its publication, was in possession
Of it wrongfully Various circumstances

of February. Meanwhile, five or six
weeks before : did deliver it, ascertain

setts, (Tarbox) had copy Of it in his

it was in his possession for weeks, and
that his holding it was violation of the

he had held my watch, just the same.

since. / only recognize him to-day to
make that statement.

JUDGE HARPER.

Five years ago we were a delegate in
the convention which nominated J. J.
Harper as Republican candidate for
Judge We took an active part in secur-
ing his nomination. The people in his
own county, (scioto) were not enthusi-
astic for him then. But he has proven
himself to be an honest, fearless, pure
Judge, and the people in Portsmouth
last week, without regard to party, spoke
of him in the highest terms.
We do not know that there viii be any
candidate run against Judge Harper. out
we presume there will be. Now it will
not do to sit down and conclude that
Judge Harper will be elected merely be-
cause everybody speaks we'll of him.
Some very bad and worthless men have
slipped into Office by such earslesSness,

The investigating business at Washing
ton has most beautifully gone back" up
on its originators Started with the evil
dent intention of taking in only Re-
publicans, it has resulted most disas-
trously to some of the prominent Demo
Gratis who have taken part in it, Those
old-iashioned, hot-headed Democrats
have some very original and queer ideas
about honor. But few days since, Mr..
Knott was blowing and putting around
the Committee Room in Washington
about the honor of Tarbox, and other
prominent Democrats, asserting that in
point of honor, they were by far the su-
periors of Mr.. Blaine. In reply to this
nonsense, Mr.. Blaine accuses Mr.. Tar
box Of abstracting his private property
and Offering it to others as his own proper r
ty, and the worst feature Of the affair is
that Mr. Tarbox acknowledge to the
taking of the property.
Nor do the reverse movements Of the
Democratic machinery stop here, but
reach to the Democratic speaker of the
House, himself And unless some very
strong testimony to the contrary is adj
duced, we must come to the conclusion
that this Democratic leader is
not only one of the meanest,
but one of the cheapest of men. This
is about the way these howls about cor.
ruption generally pan out. Whenever
and wherever you hear a man continual.
ly crying corruption at the Republican
administration just give a chance and il
he does not prove himself great scoun-
drel, we miss in our estimate Of human
nature.

An affair took place at Maysville, Ky.
few days ago. which in any civilized
country, would be considered horrible.
Two colored men had a claim against
James Taylor, captain Of the steamer
Katie Dixon, for labor. Taylor refused
to pay them, when they had an attach
ment for the boat. The captain attempt
ed to run the boat off from Covington.
Arthur j. Harrington. U. s. Marshal. OF
Louisville. got the steamer Champion and
pursued At Maysville he attempted to
seize the boat when Taylor shot and in.
stantly killed the Marshal. The guard
which had been summoned by the muir.
dered officer few minutes before he was
shot. Immediately fred upon Taylor and
killed him.

James G. Blaine was stricken down, in
Washington on last Sunday morning with
an attack somewhat resembling apoplexy,
though his physicians differ as to the ma
ture Of the attack. He started to attend
Dr. Rankin's church, and after walking
six squares, in the intense heat, the ther-
mometer being 90' in the shade, he COM
planned, when near the church, of queer
sensation in the head and back part Of
the neck. On reaching the steps Of the
church, he sat down, exhausted. His
wife took seat beside him, when he
again complained Of his head, leaned
over with his head in Mrs. Blaine's lap,
aad Immediately became unconscious.
An omnibus was called, and he was re-
moved to his home, where he remained
in a state Of Inconsistencies for five
hours. His friends, however, anticipate
a speedy and complete restoration of his
health, and the latest news we have re-
ceived, up to the time of going to press,
is to the effect that he is recovering, and
is past all danger.

One of the most pitilul cases of news
paper duplicity we have ever seen is the
case of the Cincinnati Gazette. 1t has
been trying for some time to follow the
course pursued by that old sinner, the
Commercial The Commercial, being
something of a joker, pretended, at the
outset Of the present Presidential agita-
ton, to be strongly in favor of Bristow.
The Gazette Immediately took up its po-
sition, placed its nose to the Commercials S
coat tail, and trotted meekly off after
Bristow. The Commercial is still sup
porting" Bristow. merely in sarcasm or
sport. but the Gazette strikes out blindly
right and left for Bristow, and declares
he is only man who can be elected. We
tremble to think what would be the situ-
alton Of Poor Richard, should the Com
mercial suddenly desert him.

The jackson Standard says the name
Of the Cincinnati Gazettes correspondent
is Hillborn not Hellborn G. Miller. IL
says further that Mr.. Miller's father was
a postmaster. which we are glad to learn.
Ii says Mr.. Miller was born at place
called Rocky Hill, and for that reason
his parent gave him the descriptive name
OF Hillborn. The Standard vouehes for
this son Of a postmaster as an honest
man and a good citizen" Not truly
good-there is none truly good, no not
one, except Deacon Smith. We are great

nation. IL is great relief to US 10 find
that Mr.. Miller is not Hellborn, and is

THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK.

The latest news from Cincinnati shows
a considerable change in the prospects of
the various Presidential candidates. Of
course, nything that may be said of the
chances OF the different candidates at
this time, will be mostly conjecture.
From present appearances, it seems that
Hayes stock has taken a sudden rise, TO
such an extent, in fact, that many of his
friends have hopes Of his leading in the
Convention. The friends of the other
leading candidates, however, are fully as
sanguine, and the fight promises to be a
hot one. So far "a we can see Hayes
chances appear to be by no means poor.

the rest combined, and have been very
nicely printed on tinted paper. AS we
know from the most direct and positive
