GO SLOW NOW.

We do not belong to that class SO
ready to join in sweeLiDg denunciar
tions against Senator Blaine, Ben
Wade, Redpath aid other life long
Republicans for disagreeing with the
policy begun by President Hayes.
These men have proved their good
faith to the cause of the blacks, by
years of earnest work in behalf of the
slave, when it was considered a dis
grace to be called black abolitioDist,
and the Republican press and party
have not ling to gain by slurs and
sneers at these old veterans. Neither
will the attempt to drum them out of
the party on points of disagreement,
as Grant did Sumner and Greeley, do
the party any good.-Wood County

The Sentinel speaks the sentiments
of all candid men. We do not believe
that the opposition to the Presidents
Southern policy is tine result OF cap
tiousuess, but of honest conviction.
To many it seems a surrenc eT OF prin
ciples to which they have been welded
and a practical remandiDg of the freed
men to a condition in which they will
be beieft of the rights of citizenship,

heartily endorse it than those who
have opposed Il and doubted its wis

By the President Of the United States Of

INVESTIGATION NEEDED.


We clip the following from special
telegraph TO the Cleveland Herald. 1t
exhibits the late Democratic Secretary
of State in an unenviable light:
1t is understood to night that spe-
cial committee of investigation viii be
demanded in the House tomorrow oD
account of the following state OF facts:
The annual report of Secretary OF
State Bell has been SO delayed in tie
printing that it has only appeared on
the tables OF members during the last
week. An examination of the station
cry accounts presents prima facle
case of crookedness in the administra
ton of that department last year
which should be officially inquired IL
to. The Supreme Count, including the
Supreme Court Commissioners, il
charged With the following items,
among others equally e1travagant:
Eight Thermometers, 81 pounds of
twine, 12 corkscrews, 6 csddies OF
friction matches at a cost of $40 5O,
204 cakes OF soap at a cost OF S57, IL
chamois skins, II 1-2 gross OF pen hold
ers, 40 ink stands, 35gross Of steel pens,
"a gallons of ink, 10, 400 envelopes, 80
packages CT medicated paper, 1,OSO led
pencils, PAP blotting pads. The Su
preme Judges are indignant, and deny
that any such quantity of articles was
furnished, ard the present Secretary
of State has failed TO find on file in
his Office any requisition from the
Court for them. A casual inspection
of similar items in the Legislative De
pariInent reveals the fact that a siIni
lar extravaganza of statement is to lie
found there. Although the two Houses
are on the eve of final adjournment, it
is plain that the case calls for thor
ough investigation, which will no
doubt be In order.

p.psox RpovyIoy of the Knox

PARsoS BRowYLow, Of the Knox
vile Ehig, who became 60 prominent
at the breaking cut of the Rebellion
by Lis violent dietribes against the
rebels, died in Nashville Oh the 26ih
ult. He was born August 20, 1906, in
Wythe County, Virginia; entered the
Methodist Ministry in 1926, aud in 1882
travelled 4 circuit in South Carolina
aud Georgia. He afterwards became
editor anc proprietor Of the Knoxville
Whig, but owing 10 his strong Union
sentiments was forced to suspend its
publication in 1861. After the State
fell into Union hands he resumed the
publication and has continued it ever
since. 10 1865 be was elected Cover
nor, and again in 1867. He ives elect
ed Z. S. Senator, and served from
March 4, 'G9 to March 4, rs. During
bis Senatorial term be was il feeble
health. and at one time i: was thought
he could not live. HIS death was
-somewhat sudden. The Parson was
naturally eccentric aud of grave de-
rpeanor. He never swore, drank Ii
duor, smoked cigar, chewed tobacco,
played q game of cards, visited the
ster or horse race, and, still more sing
uIar. never conrted but one woman,
and she became bis wife and the moth
er of his seven children.

JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT.
At the present there is vacancy in
the Supreme Court, occasioned by the
resignation of Judge Davis, and judg
ing from the lone of the new policy and
the fact that there is no one upon the
bench from the South, we may reason
ably conclude that the vacancy will be
filed by the appointment of a South
ern man, Among those mentioned
from that section, none are more high
ly recommended than Judge ETskine,
Of Georgia. The following, in refer
ence to him il taken from the Philadel-
phia Daily Herald:
JUDGE ERsKINE. OF GEORGIA.
impression prevails that Southern
man will be appointed by Pr sident
Hayes to the position of Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court in the place
of Judge Davis, resigned. Without
detracting from the merits of any gen.
tleInan suggested there is one man who
ought to stand conspicuous for this
position. We refer to the Hon. John
EIskine, now Judge CT the District
Court of the United States for G. or
gia. When Judge Wayne died, Judge
Erskine stood prominently before the
country as the proper mar TO succeed
him. His ability as lawyer and his
integrity as a man demanded the re
cognitioa, but events which threw their
shadows before induced the appoint
ing power to pnt Judge Bradley on the
bench in the place of Southern man.
At the present time, upon bench whose
representatives should be nationa:, We
find no man from the South That
section has been ignored. We know
what the balance OF the United States
would feel if there was no man from
the East OF West on the Supreme
Bench, and yet the South has lawyers
as able, as learned, as pure and as
good as any part of the Union. We
believe the time has come when ma
tionality should mark the bench and
not sectionalism; and in this spirit
we call attei ton to the gentleman
whose name heads this article. In
point of ability and learning we feel
assured that no name suggested excels
his. He went On tie bench of the
United States after the war, had to
handle the most delicate questions, 10
meet with controversies involving
rights of citizenship aud property; and
his decisions we're not only fair and
Just, but endorsed and followed by the
Supreme Bench in several instances,
Judge Erskine commands the respect
of the bar as an able lawyer and of the
people as an honest man, and We earn
estly suggest his name for the position.

Caleb Gushing holds tie opinion
that the war in Europe will prove Am

The coin and currency balances in
the Treasury are smaller than at any
time since the legal tenders were au

There is still another element that
looks on the Southern policy with pro-
found apprehension and distrust. This
Is that which gave existence and
STR ngfh to rhe Republican party, led
in its great battles, shaped its politics
and directed lis triumphs. 1t is felt
that precedents are being established, |,

a practical surrender to the Denocra-

be the deprivation of the colored mel

them that the purpose of the ministry
is toplace the English noyal farces in

provoke a quarrel with Russia, and he
calls upon them to speak out loudly

will involve the nation in a war with
Russia and precipitate general Eu-

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Th. Sixty-second General Assembly
has fioisted its labors and its members
are by this time mostly at their homes,
released from the tolls of law making
1t has been by no means bad Lagisla
ture, as Legislatures go now a days,
and among the mass of bills it has en-
acted into laws there are 'ew really
good. We do not recall any positively
b I'd that are of snffici-nt importance to
do very serious mischief Some,b lis tha'
ought to have been passed are left
lying on the rubbish heap. but they
form but a small portion of the dead
bills, the greater number of which have
been righteously slain. The total nurn
Der Of bills introduce ! at the regular
and adjourned sessions was nearly
fifteen hundred, whilst those that
found their way to the pages of the
Statue formed but one fifth of that
number. For the death by violence
or inau;tion of the other four-tiftEs
devout thanks are rendered.
Among the laws enacted the two of
most importance are the Compulsory
Education act and that providing for
the registration of voters Neither of
these measures are completely satisfa
tors, being rather tentative than
thorough in their provisions. The Com
pulsory Education law, which goes
into effect with the fall term of the
schools, has so many exceptions and
loopholes that it may be considered
NOR in the light of u declaration of
principles than as q statute to be en-
forced. But it establishes the princi
pie that every child in the State must
r. ceive a certain amount of education,
unless good cause is shown for exem
ton, and the machinery for enforcing
that principle is provided. At the
same time such extreme care is taken
to prevent oppressive enforcement of
the law that the more RADICAL friends OF
Compulsory Education fear it will be
but a dead letter. The Registration
Law, also, is SO mild measure that
only a small portion of the voters of
the State will be registered. But If 1t
prevents tile repetition OF such dis
graceful proceedings as those OF last
years election, when repeating aud
fraudulent voting were CT rried on by
imported scoundreis to an extent that
carried one Congressional district, II
not more, elected a number OF import
ant county ifflcers in Gin innati, and
put the State result in jeopardy, the
law will have effected its desired pur-
pose II this can be done, as the franz
ers of the law designed, without dis
turbing the honest voters, or putting
most of them TO the slightest trouble, a
great good will be acnisved.-CleOe-
lGnd Herald.
