THE record of Isham G. Harris, of Tennes
see, is so bad that when he was nominated
for Presidential Elector last fall, the public
criticisms compelled him to decline. 1t was
not deemed best to have him run before the
people. But now that the election is past,
the Democratic Legislature sends him to the
United States Senate. The man who was
not fit TO be an Elector is chosen to the high
est position of representative. Harris was
one of the worst of those who raised the
standard of revolt against the Government,
and it is a curious commentary upon the
American treatment of rebellion that he
should now be made Senator of the United
States

The lame can be healed and the wounded made
whole We now know just what the Centaur Lini-
ments will do. They will not mend broken bones or

MORE GAZING IN.

The several congressional committees that
were seat to the south IN December to inves-
tgate the devilry Of the returning boards
have completed their work and are on their
way home The first to reach Washington
was Mr.. Crapo republican representative
from Massachusetts,, a member of the house
committee, and of course h,s arrival was no
sooner announced than he was besleged by
the newspaper men. Mr.. Grape seems to have
borne the interviewing process with equa-
nimity, and was reasonably communicative.
The following is given as the substance of his
talk:
All the members were convinced that the
essential points of the evidence taken indi-
cate intimidation, but he says that he does
not think it Is shown to have been sufficient
ly general or violent TO warrant the assump.
ton that it would affect the general result.
He does not contend that there was enough
intimidation in Louisiana to warrant throw
ing out parishes, and he does not approve the
methods adopted BY the returning board or
their manner of throwing out parishes. He
says he has no doubt all the members of the
committee will condemn the personnel of the
returning board, and that there will be two
democrats IN the committee desire to draw a
much stronger report than the republicans
agree to. They, however, are agreed on one
or two points, the most important OF which Is
the condemnation of the returning board The
Pinkston case will not be dilated upon at all,
the republicans having arrived at the conclu-
sion that it was nothing more than negro
brol, and that its facts are of no political con-
sequence whatever He says further that nine
out of ten white people IN the state do not ap-
pear to care a straw who is president, So they
are given control of the state government;
that they consider Tilden and Hayes both
good men, and they generally regard the re-
suit of the presidential contest inmaterial,
except so far as 1t might affect their state at
fairs. The majority seem to think Tilden has
an honest ma jorlty IN the state. In course OF
Il rapid conversation of general character,
he stated that violence of all kinds had evil
IDENTIFY been opposed by the better classes OF
the people. Mr.. Grape says that from all the
evidence taken it is clear that the election in
Louisiana was Quieter than it was possible
for 1t to be in one Of the best-regulated New
England states. All of the cases of intimida-
! ton discovered occurred before election. II
was a serious question with him whether
these cases should be allowed to affect the
general result at all. and he expresses himself
as almost certain that it should not. While
he declines to say exactly what he thinks
should stand as the real result OF the election,
il is to be clearly inferred from his manner
tn 1T he Is of the opinion that Tildcn has car
RED the state, and Will join in The report con
demning the action of the returning board IN
counting in the state tor Hayes.

THE SENATORSHIP,

the allabsorbing topic at Springfield con.
tinues TO be the senatorship. The situation
is, in one word, that the republicans are pref.
ty thoroughly united on John A. Logan, and
thus far have no other candidate, while the
democrats and independents are skirmishIng
around with couple of dozen of candidates,
and as remote as ever from uniting on any
one of them.
The republicans held their caucus on Fri,
day evening of last week, and the nomination
of Logan was enthusiastic, the ony drawback
being that three republican, senators and nine
representatives were absent. 1t was useless
to attempt to explain this singular absentee.
ism by saying the members We're sick or hal
gone home The truth is, they were all 10
the city. and stayed away intentionally On
closer inquiry, they were found TO be repub
leans who were opposed to Logan and want
Washburne or some other man, but will vote
for Logan against a democrat or independent
Among those working for Washburne, Mr.
Bushnell, of Ottawa, Is named, who offers TO
cxpend $4,000 TO beat Logan. Undoubtedly
Wash. has the monJy and he IS not man 10
hold back when his blood Is up.
Logan, after his caucus nomination, made
a speech, IN which he told his followers that
he didn't want them to stick to him if he
couldn't be elected aud some other republican
could be, but, said he, | believe | CAM
believe | will be elected. If tins was the
proper time or place, | could demonstrate IT."
Logan is using money like water; 1t comes
from the East and it is said Tom Scott sends
the chief supplies; and his friends boast that
they can already count eight democrats who
will DC absent when The two houses meet to
ballot.
The democrats held their first caucus on
Monday evening, and all that was done was
to appoin: an executive committee of three
from the senate aud five from the house to
manage the contest" The opposition feel,
however, that they are in a difficult position.
Their only chance OF success not only lies in
concentrating every democratic vote on one
man of over twenty that have been named
but also in getting the solid independent vote
for the same man. Palmer thus far comes
nearest to possessing the necessary qualities TO
secure this union, his main deficiency being,
! II Is said, that he has no money. The latest
talk is, that not only all the independents and
democrats, but few an,iLogan republicans,
have expressed willingness TO vote for Judge
Davis, and if the Judge can be persusded to
accept the Office, il looks highly probable, at
this writing, The he will he Logan's successor
