Judge Hamm of Kemper County has been elect
ed Professor of Law for the University of Missip-
pi. This is the distinguished individual whom
Gov. Stone whispered to about special session of
his court for the trial of the Chsolm murderers.
His acceptance will be misfortune to the college.
but it will be a relief to the bench, for he will
have to resign his Judgeship-T Tribune.
The announcement that Yale College had con-
ferred the degree Of A. NJ. upon ARENAS Martin
of Erie, Pa, set the quid nuncs of that town 10
inqaring if such a person really dwelt there
The result Of the search is a new illustration OF
the text that ga prophet is not without honor save
in his own country and among his own kin and in
his own house." Mr.. Martin was discovered to be
a market gardener living on a farm near the city
of Erie, through the streets of which he sells veg
etabes twice week. Besides his occupation as
farmer it was found that he was q regular con
trbutor 10 some of the best-known foreign and
American educational public ations-among them
the Educational Times of London, England. At
his modest home is q valuable mathematical libra
ry OF several hundred volumes. He is bachelor
of AZ and self-educated.

A Democratic member of Congress
from the Southwest is authority for the
statement tina. a movement is on foot
among his colleagues from that section,
which will be likely to disturb the serenity
of the Democratic camp seriously. He
gays that there is good deal of cores
pondence going on with view to selecting
a competent man from the South for the
Speakership. The movement proceeds up
on the fact that of the hundred and fifty
Democrats who will take part in organic
ing the House, eighty-three are from States
south of the Potomac, while twenty-seven
more are from Western States, whose rep
resentatiyes have little natural affinity
with Eastern candidates like Mr.. Randall
and Mr. Cox. Out OF these hundred and
ten members from the South and West,
il Is believed that clear majority of the
caucus can be obtained to support some
Southern Democrat who favors an approx
al of the Presidents policy towards the
South.

A Democratic Wall.

The most dismal wall yet made in the
democratic party over the election OF Hayes
through the agency of the electoral com
mission is uttered by Judge Jere. Black in
the pages of the North American Review
This inveterate, incorrigible Bourbon APP
pears to be nearly heart-broken at what
he calls "a manifest and most profound
swindle." After relating how the demo-
Gratis expected that the commission would
rule in their favor he blurts out the follow
ing as expressive of their feelings over the
result. They were bitterly disappointed ;
the commission went eight to seven for
the Grand Fraud and all its branches; for
fraud in the detail and in the aggregate ;
for every item of fraud that was necessary
to make the sum total big enough, eight
to seven all the time" We have not
particle of doubt that the democrats were
disappointed at the result. SO is the gamb-
Ter when chance runs against him. So
is the rogue when the trap set for anoth-
er snaps its relentless jaws upon himself.
The Judge closes his wall with the follow
ing words of advice. given through his
fast-falling tears: "Let these things be
remembered by our children's children,
and, if the friends of free government
shall ever again have such contest, let
them take care how tkey leave the decis-
ion of it to a tribunal like that which be-
trayed the nation by authorizing the Great
Fraud of 1876.
Now it is only necessary for republicans
to say to allegations of fraud in the estab-
lishment Of the electoral commission that
the commission was of democratic origin,
and the democratic party is responsible
for it and its results. Only one democrat
in the Senate voted against the bill TO es-
tablish the commission, while in the house
the democrats voting for it were 159 to
only Is against it. Democratic votes car.
ried the measure in Congress. democratic
organs sustained it in their columns, and
the decision of the commission in favor
of the title of Hayes to the Presidency
was endorsed in the closing hours of the
democratic house.

The New York Times speaks of Senator
Blaine's speech at Woodstock as "untime
ly." and as a clear case OF "making a noun
tain out of a mole hill" and yet in the
same issue it devotes an editorial nearly
as long as Mr.. Blane's speech to 'annexa-
ton rumors" concerning Mexico, and
practically demonstrates the importance
of the subject and the timely character of
Mr.. Blaine's remarks. What would Ray
mond have thought of such a performance
in the columns of the Times when he con-
troled the paper?

The indictment of the Louisiana Return
Ing Board practically illustrates how little
faith can be placed on the pledges OF
southern democrats. After President
HAYES has allowed them to have their own
way in relation to the State government,
they turn upon him with breach of faith
of which Modoc would not be guilty.
The republican papers which indorse the
southern policy have taken to remonstrat-
ing with the White Leaguers, but the lat
ter seem determined to persist in their
prosecution and persecution of the Return
ing Board.

Senator Blaine began his remarks in
way which showed that he had profted by
the exhibition made during and after the
GRAFTON of Gov. Chamberlain. With an
adroitness born of Yankee Faculty" and
long experience. he gained the confidence
of his hearers by an eloquent exordium
in favor of free speech, and proceeded in
a mastery way to make his points, the ex-
tent and importance of which will be seen
by perusal of his speech. The Senator
drew the closest attention of the throng.
and held it to the last. Many who had
credited him with shrewdness of charac-
ter and earnestness of purpose, went
away with still higher estimation of him
as iar-seeing and independent states
