Dan Voorhees, will next year canvass Indi-
ana for the United States Senate in opposi-
ton to Morton. The Louisville Courier
Journal says it Twill attract as much atten-
ton as the famous struggle between Lincoln
and Douglass in 1858. On its result great
things will depend; because, if Mr.. VOORHEES,
unseats Morton, finally redeeming the State
Indiana will appear at the front in 1880 as
the leading Democratic State in the Union -
This, with few things that have happened
in the past few days, of course means Hen
dricks for President.

The Vicksburg Herald says it is unjust for
the Southern press to oppose Mr.. Randall S
election to the Speakership ON the charge
that he is opposed to the Southern Pacific
Railway. The Herald says "We know this
charge to be false, for we have within the last
week heard Senator Lamar remark that if he
was a member of the House he would support
Mr.. Randall for the Speakership, and it is
well known that Senator Lamar is ardently
in favor Of this great Southern enterprise.
He is convinced that Mr.. Randall has been
unjustly and ungcnerously assailed,"

The Republican adheres to its statement
that Judge Chisholm, of Mississippi, was
murdered for political reasons and further
says that "the whole testimony goes to prove
it." We very much doubt whether the edi-
tor of the Republican has read that "testi-
mony," so little does it bear out his asser-
ton. The personal nature of the quarrel
was distinctly shown and also the fact that
Chisholm had been implicated in the pre-
yious murder of one of the assailants rela-
tives. The Republican asks "Why should
Gov. Stone be afraid to enforce the law p
He is not on the contrary, he has done all
in his power to bring to trial the parties en-
gagged in the afiray. Governors in Missis-
sippi have the same power as those in Penn
sylvania, and Gov. Stone has no more au-
thority to force a trial than Gov. Hartranft,
and it is utter absurdity to talk of zen fore
ing the law" by breaking it. OF course rea'
soning will be lost on the Repubican-it,
mission is to defend such men as Boutwell,
wave the bloody shirt, and try to impress
people generally with its respect tor law and
desire TOR justice.

MR.. TlLDEN'S SPEECH.

The organs don't like the recent manly
and truthful speech, made at the reception
of the Manhattan Club. in New York. The
pure and perfect Forney expresses his feel
ings in few words filled with scorn and
falsehood, as follows:
Governor Tiden broke his long silence in
D speech at the Manhattan Club last evening
that will increase the satisfaction with which
the main body of the American people con-
template the fact that he was neither elect
ed nor declared President of the United
States. His attempt to reopen fruitless but
exciting controversy, that was finally deci-
ded by a legal tribunal invented by his par
tisan supporters, and to divert attention
from questions of practical administration
to dead issue cannot be too strongly con.
demned.
The high tone of political morality, and
the cslm assertion of untruth conspicuous in
these words of Forney, are characteristic of
that eminent journalist
The little newspapers are all bowling in
chorus and find comfort in the editorial re-
mark of the New York Herald to the effect
that the Democratic party is dead, killed by
Samuel j. Tilden. The HeraidS owl-like
wisdom is so fully appreciated by the peo-
pie of all parties, that it is hardly worthy OF
more than what is said of it by the Phila-
delphia Times, which contemptuously OBJ
serves, that "the Heraid8 discovery that the
Democratic party is dead, killed by Samuel
j. Tilden, is rather positive proof that alco.
hol is not brain food"

There is one matter which should
be attended to by our business men, and
that is the placing of substantial sign
boards at the different road crossings in
this and the neighboring counties-es-
pecially those to the west and southwest
giving the distance to lola via. the
free bridge across the Neosho. We have
been told by those who ought to know,
that after you leave the crossroads west
of town, it is impossible to find guide
board pointing towards lola, while at
almost every available point you will
sign-boards put up by neighboring towns.
Can't something be done to remedy this
lola has the only free bridge across the
Neosho River in the county, and this
fact alone is a great inducement for per-
sons living west and southwest of US to
come to lola to trade; but if rival towns
are permitted to monopolize all the
advertising our merchants need not find
fault if they lose the trade that properly
belongs to this point.

The habit that class of young fel-
lows from IL to Is years of age have got
ten into of congregating together at
some convenient resort, and remaining
until late hours, carousing, joking,
swearing, and sometimes fighting has
been frequently remarked and deplored
of late by our citizens and the of
a young man for petty theft this week is
only a legitimate result. There has been
. city ordinance regulating this evil, and
we believe it is still in force; if not .
law should be passed and enforced, lead
ing to the suppression of this curse.
Parents and guardians should see to it
that their sons are restrained from such
society and if their own authority is de-
fed the arm of the law should be in
vokod to prevent them from frequenting
such resorta Further, it is the duty of
our business men to keep this class out
of their stores; their trade amounts to
nothing. We speak plainly of this mat
ter for it calls for instant and radical
reform.
