GRANT AND THE PRESIDENTIAL
ARBITRATION.

Grants official sun is setting. That it does
not go down leaving the country in the
grasp of civil commotion is in no wise to be
placed to his credit. He sowed to the wind
and that the country does not garner the
bitter fruits of the wh1rlwind is to be cred
tied to the efforts of others. The fact is on
record that Grant was the associate and de-
fender of conspirators and the advocate of
their damnable plots until the gathering
storm of popular indignation compelled him
to hesitate and seek, best he could, to OBJ
litetate from the minds of the people some
portion of the infamous record of his cor
rups administration. When troops were
wanted to aid the plans of the conspirators,
Grant forwarded them with a promptness
that evidenced to the world his disregard of
the rights of people and states, and the ut
ter contempt he entertained for constitution
and laws. When the sacredness of courts
was suggested to him as barrier to his des-
potic will and acts true to his british in
stiRcts, he exclaimed, Damn the supreme
curt" Blind to all consequences, deaf to all
appeals, drunk with power and hate, isolated
by partisan madness from honest men and
patriots, Grant, in South Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana, contributed as the conspirators
demanded the influence of his high office
and the military power of the country to
reverse the decision of the people and to
place Hayes in the presidential chair by
means so essentially vile that as the facts
are disclosed, the amazement and humilia-
ton OF the country increase. The diap-
pearance of Grant from office will be the

these Indiana radicals have "sure thing"
in a small but arbitrary majority for the
present to continue in force the monstrous
apportionment act. The Journal admits
that there is a general impression abroad
that the law is infamous and Ubiquitous, but
claims that there is no real foundation for
it. We would ask that paper and the sup
porters and defenders of the act,
why it was that Governor Baker re-
fused to sign the bill? Answer that.
What on earth it has to do with the appor-
tiOnment act we do not know, but the
Journal speaks about the governor being
led into scenes of revelry and gaiety, and vol
unteers some gratiutous advice, etc, in con-

that one of the results of Harrison's defeat

THE LOUIsyILLE MURDER.

The proprietor of the Willard hotel Mr..
Whips, murdered a man by the name CT
Stockton a few days since. The testimony
brought out by the coroners inquest is con-
elusive that the murder was not committed
in self-defense. Whips, it seemed, did not
like Mr.. Stockton, who as a hotel manager
was his superior, a fact which it is safe
to say aroused the jealousy of Whips and
prompted the original insult and difficulty,
and demonstrated pretty conclusively that
Whips, whatever else he may have, lacks
manliness. an essential ingredient of gen.
tleman. We do not know that Whips
premeditated murder, but from our reading
of the testimony he evidently sought a
quarrel, and it is pretty safe to say that
when man of position in Kentucky seeks
quarrel, he is prepared beforehand to take
the consequences in which the chance for
loss of life or limb is generally in
cluded. 1t is quite possible that the
social position of Whips was grade higher
than that of Stockton, but we do not know
that such was the case. Be that as it may,
there was something in the tone of Whipps's
language TO Stockton indicative of a feeling
of superiority, and that sounds very much
like the olden timewhen master addressed
mis- slave. Whips, not content with one
shot, never stopped until he had lodged
three balls in the body of his victim. We
do not know that this Louisville tragedy
is any concern outside of the state.
The delightful task of commenting
upon such a transaction in Louis
vile may belogn exclusively to the Ken
lucky press, but there was one feature con-
nected with it that attracted our attention.
Whips was arrested and brought before
Judge Price, the distinguished police jurist
of that city. This was before Stockton's
life had oozed out at the dumb mouths
made by Whipps's bullets, and the bale was
placed at $4,000. which in Whipps's case
was about equal to 10 cents in the case
OF a poor man. After Stockton
was dead some people in Louisville who
felt pride in the good name of the city,
sought to have Whippo rearrested and the
bail increased, but were told that SIC, 900 for
killing man In the heat OF passion an
swered the demands of the law, and so
Whips roams at large or devotes his time
to the guests of the Willard as to
him may seem proper. We conclude
if Judge Price knows the law, all that is
necessary when one man regards it neces-
sary to kill another man in Louisville is to
get himself into cheat of passion" and
then blaze away. The price having been
fixed at $40, 900, no further concern need be
had upon the financial aspect of murder in
the cheat of passion

COwARDLY ASSAULTS.

When candidate for high office is so well
liked and so. popular With the masses as to
make his defeat difficult in fair an hon
orable fight, mean and cowardly men are
not wanting who delight in manufacturing
lies and slandering his good name. There
are also those whose seltishness prompt
them to prostitute their honor, pervert
truth and ignore right for the sake of injur-
ing a competitor in business, whose prosper
ity they envy, and with whose business Sa-
gacity they have not the talent TO success
fully compete in an honorable way. These
thoughts are suggested by the mean, cow
ardly attacks made upon me and my medi-
cines, by those who imagine their pecuniary
prospects injured by the great popularity
which my standard medicines have acquired
and the continued growth of my profess
sional practice. Narrow-minded practition-
ers of medicine, and manufacturers of prepa-
rations which do not possess sufficient merit
to successfully compete for popular favor,
have resorted to such cowardly strategy as
to publish all sorts of ridiculous reports
about the composition of my medicines.
Almanacs Receipt Books and other
pamphlets are issued and scattered broadcast
over the land, wherein these contemplate
knaves publish pretended analyses OF my
medicines, and recipes for making them.
Some of these publications are given high
sounding names, pretend to be issued
by respectable men of education
and position, for the good of the
people-the more completely to blind the
reader to the real object in their circulation,
which is to injure the sale of my medicines.
1.-The Popular Health Almanac is the high
sounding name of one of these publications,
which contains bogus receipts without a grain
of truth in them. Not less devoid of truth
are those which have been published by one
DIR. L., of Detroit, in the Michigan Farmer,
and by other manufacturers OF medicines. in
several so-called journals of Pharmacy. They
are all prompted by jealousy and utterly fail
in accomplishing the object of their authors,
for, notwithstanding their free circulation,
my medicines continue TO sell more largely
than any others manufactured in this coun-
try, and are constantly increasing in sale de-
spite the base lies concocted and circulated
by such knaves The people find that these
medicines possess genuine merit accomplish
what their manufacturers claims for them,
and are not the vile, poisonous nostrums
which jealous. narrow-minded physicians
and sneaking compounders of competing
medicines represent them to be. Among the
large number of pretended analyses pub
lished, it is a significant fact that no two
have been at all Extraordinarily proving
the dishonesty of their authors It. enough
for the people to know that while thousands,
yes, may truthfully say millions, have ta-
ken my medicines and have been cured no
one has ever received injury from their use

MIR. LANDERS's BILL.

In the Sentinel to-day will be found CO.
pious extracts from bill introduced into
congress by Mr.. Landers Of this district
The bill is an amendment in the nature of
a substitute for the house bill to construct
the Texas and Pacific railroad from Fort
Worth, Texas, to San Diego. California.
Mr. Landers's bill is worthy of serious con-
sideration. 1t is not probable that either it,
or the one for which it is proposed as sub
stitute, will become law during the present
session of congress The time is too short
for many bills to pass, and this, with host
of others, will most probably fail to be acted
upon for want of time.
Mr.. Landers is eminently practical man,
and whatever be undertakes to do he does
building of the Southern Pacific railroad,
he believes that if his bill is passed it may
be done without costing the government a
dollar. He thinks that the effect of issuing
the treasury notes provided in his bill would
be to revive business and restore confidence
il investments. He has argued in several of
his public speeches that treasury notes of
the character of those named in his bill
would be par in gold. 1t will be observed
on reading the bill That the proposed notes
are not promises to pay, but promises to re-
ceive.
Whatever may be the opinion of the PEG
pie in relation to the granting of subsidies
10 railroad corporations, there is no differ
ence of opinion among those OF the Missis-
sippi valley as to the desirableness of a south
ern road to the Pacific il such road can be
constructed without cost to the government.
Mr. Landers believes this can be done under
the provisions of his bill, and If he is correct
in this belief the bill certainly ought to pass.
We bespeak for it the careful consideration
OF our readers

TROUBLES IN CLAY COUNTY.

1t becomes more evident every day that
the first reports of the infelicitious condition
of society in Clay county, growing out of the
removal of the county seat from Bowling
Green to Brazil were exaggerated. 1t is by
no means unusual for some excitement to
attend the removal Of county seats, or for the
citizens whose interests are affected to
anticipate more or less trouble. In the
midst of excitement, when mere rumors are
apt to take the shape of established facts,
transactions of trivial importance assume
unwarrantAd consequence, and not unfre-
Quently do whole communities injustice.
We conclude, from representations made by
parties entirely reliable and well in
formed, that whatever excitement may
have existed in Clay county, growing out of
the removal of the county seat, quiet now
reigns supreme. The great majority of the
people of Clay county. as in other counties
Of the state, are law-abiding and will see to
il that the good name OF the county does not
suffer by the indiscretions of the less con-
siderate portion of the community.

KELLOGG's EXPLRTIvE.

The refined expression with which the
radical Governor kellogg, of Louisiana, re-
ceived the damning evidence against the
Louisiana returning board in Washington,
a few days since, was, ut beats hell" 1t is
a very strong expression to say that any
thing of an earthly character "beats hell"
but We are beginning to believe, as the in
famous revelations concerning those Lousi-
ana scoundrels are unfolded to the country
with such startling rapidity, that Kellogg's
expression was very nearly the truth, and
applies to all the features of the rascally
scheme to count Mr.. Hayes in. Just look
at it. On the morning after the
presidential election, every indication
pointed unquestionably to Mr.. Tilden's cleo
ton. Even the scattering returns from
Florida and Louisiana indicated that he had
carried those states by handsome majorities
That made no difference to old Zach and the
governors of Louisiana and Florida. They
quickly bethought themselves of those ras-
= cally contrivances, the returning boards
and without having anything favorable for
Mr.. Hayes from actual returns received
they unhesitatingly telegraphed over the
country that Hayes was elected Then began
the gradual progress and unfolding of the
plot. As long as Wisconsin was in doubt so
long Fitzpatrick and Settle, the radical candi-
date for governor of North Carolina, claimed
North Carolina for Hayes. As soon as it was
definitely settled that Wisconsin had gone
for Hayes, then they ceased claiming North
Carolina for him. Now notice the sworn
testimony that has been coming from Wash
ington for the last week These points have
been unquestionably proven: That old Zach
Chandler telegraphed TO the governor of
Florida that the state must be held for
Hayes; that the governor answered that he
must have money and troops to do it. Old
Zach replied that they would be sent. Then
it was shown unquestionsbly that
drafts of money amounting to 5000
at least were sent to Packard, the
bogus radical governor of Louisiana,
which contained the i,oorseDae7st of H. Chand-
Ter. These are not newspaper rumors but
sworn evidence. Now what next in this ev-
idence that beats hell" as Governor KeI-
logg says2 Then comes direct evidence from
