Soon after the election, in specializing
upon Mr.. Tilden's cabinet, the New Y ork
Herald reflected a general sentiment in
recommending Hon. l.. Q. G. Lamar for
d" the preacher of peace between the two
sections the ablest and broadest states
man of the South" No appointment
would be more suitable, and it would be
a great thing for this portion of the
country to have a representative in the
administration as able as l.. q. c.
Lamar, but in the event he should pre-
fer to occupy tne post Of duty assigned
him by the Legislature of Mississippi,
our State has other sons who would acquit
themselves well in the, cabinet, among
them, Gen. a. M. West, whose reputa-
ton is far-reading, as broad minded,
conservative statesman. Than Gen. West,
none would be wiser in council, nor more
discreet, yet firm in action. Possessing
great energy, his executive abilities are
unsurpassed, and his knowledge of
men as we'll as of business, is a marked
popularity of his character.
IT it should accord with Mr.. Tilden's
intentions to select cabinet officer from
this part of the Union, and for any
cause the mantle is not worn by the dis
tinguished statesman named by the
Herald, Mississippi has other sons who
would not prove unequal to such re.
sponsibility, and one of them we have
designated.

The very largest congregation that
ever assembled in any church in Lexing-
ton came together on Monday, January
1, at the Main Street Christian Church,
to witness the marriage of Dr. Joseph
G. Chinn and Mrs. Catherine Lawson,
the former of this city, and the latter of
Fayette County. The respective ages of
the high contracting parties made it one
of the most extraordinary marriages
that was ever solemnized. The groom
was of the ripe but modest age of eighty
years of age on the 1st day of May next.
DR.. Chinn was soldier of the war of
1872. tie enlisted when about thirteen
years and looked as vigorous as most men
of sixty. The lady will be ninety years
OF age, but owing to an accident,
by which he was severely wounded in the
foot, he did not 60 out until the next
year, but served with credit until the
close of the war. This is his third mar
riage, but in all probability he may sur
vive it many years. Mrs. Lawson was
born in Virginia, but was brought by her
parents to Kentucky in early life When
but sixteen she was addressed by Mr..
David Lawson, and became engaged to
him, but with rare good sense refused to
marry him until he had secured sufficient
for their mutual support. He left i'm
mediately for the South, where he re-
manned twenty-three years, she hearing
nothing of him in the meantime, but re.
manned constant through those long
years of silence and doubt. At last he
one day walked into the parlor of the
house where his faithful 'sKitty" lived
and claimed her hand and the fulfill
ment of her promise, saying that he had
made money enough to purchase farm.

For twenty years cancer had been eating

S0th year. Mr.. Mckay was member

Proposed Narfopns Refur"in .
Board.

The joint committee OF the House and
Senate have agreed upon a plan for
counting the electoral vote, which en-
braces board of arbitration, to be COM
posed of FIVE Senators, FIVE Representa-
tives and five members Of the Supreme
Court All the committee are reported
to have signed it except Senator Morton,
and this is the only fact connected with
it which would incline US to look favor
ably upon it. The production of this
plan is due to the claim set up by Radi-
cal partisans and suborned Returning
Boa, DIS that their favorite is entitled to
the Presidency Notwithstanding his de-
feat at the ballot box 1t amounts to
nothing more nor less than aproposition to
give the defeated party an appeal from
the decision of the people to another tri-
bunaI, without precedent, and unknown
to the Constitution. 1t substitutes a
game of chance for the supreme law of
the land and devolves upon the Judges
of the Supreme court of the United
States partisan duties foreign to their
office, and at variance with the objects
for which the august tribunal to which
they belong was created. Though every
intelligent person knows how the Presi-
dental vote stands and who received q
majority of the Electoral College, every
one will feel that the result Of the count
by the proposed National Returning
Board, if it should be sanctioned by
Congress, is as uncertain as any other
game of chance. If the Democrats are
cheated out Of the victory they have
fairly won at the polls by this plan, who
ever votes for it in Congress will make
himself party to the fraud.

From ComstantinopIe.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Jan. 19.-The only dis
senting voice in the grand council was that
of che American Protestant Bishop, who
suggested that the decision should be the
decision of the Government, was shouted
down. The council being all OF the opin-
ion that the government was not entitled to
decide such A mOmentOuS question; it is
rumOred that Midhat Pasha was the princi-
pal obstacle to the acceptance of the propO-
sails, and the whole business was prepared
before hand to intimidate the Sultan, who
really wanted to yield.
The Times referring to the result of the
Conference says this event will surprise
| nobody; those whom it will disappoint are
| fewer than they may have been at the
| opening of the new year. The friends of
the Turks are naturally delighted at the
| spirit and courage displayed by the Porte
and supposed humiliation which has be-
| fallen diplomats who presumed to trespasS
on the sovereign rights Of the Sultan what
will be the effect of the Porte's decision in
| the peace Of Europe is unknown.
There are those who declare themselves
certain that Russia will not attack Turkey
| Others! who profess to detect con, ummate
astuteness in Gen. Ignatieff7s moderation
| and who will now say that he knew from
| the first how surely the fanatcism of Goa
stanople would force the Porte to open de
| fiance on the subject, we shall be content to
| form a Judgment on events as they occur
without speculation; there can be no doubt
that Russia is in most difficult position, b 1T
| between war, from which il can expect
no permanent advantage and pledges
which, if not redeemed will discredi5 the
| throne. In any case it is not to be as
| sumed that decision for peace or war will
necessarily be IN ade at onc9 it is quite pos
| sible that weeks may pass amid new diplo-
matte overtures before Russia thinks it con-
| venient to announce her final resolution
perhaps the dissolution of the conference
marks the beginning of anew phrase in
which Western powers will be for a time
inactive and the three i'm perial courts will
once more concern thems dives with the

We take it for granted that whether
the Legislature at its present session in
creases the salary or not, whatever &C
ton it takes will be with a view to the
fact that the incumbent will be elected
for four years and that before his tenn of
Office expires the public will become i'm
pressed with the importance of making
the bureau a medium of centralized ac-
ton for the important objects above
stated.
