be elected to Office by combination with
stronger men than it would be by run
ming alone. If all the elections Of Judges
come off at once, one out of the eight
Judges to be elected might be an indif-
ferent lawyer or improper person to Sc
lect, but if they are elected separately it
is not so likely to occur. The decision
in this case destroys the election of all
the Judges at one time, and thereby is
calculated to effect much good for our
State by preventing the formation of
cliques or rings in the election of these
important officials.

The Ohio Democrats have decided

The Ohio Democrats have decided
to hold their State convention on the
twenty-fifth of July next, a date sufi-
ciently early to admit of preparation tor
a vigorous campaign. In spite OF all the
boastful talk which the Presidents
friends have been lately indulging in, it
is plain that there is disaffection as we'll
as apathy in the Republican party in the
Buckeye State, and that unless change
speedily sets in the election will revert
to the Democrats by default. In any
event the chances for Radical victory
are painfully small.

THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE IA, 1877.

Messrs. Blue, Sheppard, Orr, Gray and
Hemphill have been appointed a COM
mittee to conduct the impeachment of
Judge Wright. This will afford these
gentlemen a fine opportunity of display
ing their oratorical abilities and legal
acumen, which will no doubt be done
with credit to themselves and satisfac-
ton to their constituents. We wish them
every success imaginable in the prosecu-
tion of the case.

Ex-senator Logan has been offered
and has declined the mission to Brazil.
He had an interview with the President
on the subject and positively refused to
accept the offer. This piece of news will
naturally surprise the general public, as
this is the first time the gifted Logan has
been known to decline anything in the
appointment line; but let nobody mis-.
take; the Logan'sss.voice is for war, and
there is vacancy at st. Petersburg.

- Alabama Conservatives are rejoiced
over the statement emanating from the
friends of the carpet-bag Senator Spencer
of that State, that he does not intend to
return to Alabama, and will probably
resign as Senator. They think, however,
that the latter part is most too good to be
true. Spencer is now in the Black Hills
country endeavoring to turn an honest
penny.

more favorable than last year; stands are
universally good, and compared with last
year, much better; the plant is forming,
blooming and boiling we'll, and its present
condition 10 - satisfactory as could be de.
sired, and much better than it was ct this

worked, and the prospects for good yield
are very promising.
