Anderson ought to be glad rather than sorry that
he is not to have a second trial. II would only
have been repetition of the first and one of that
kind is enough for anybody
If General NJ. c. Butler is lifted from his seat

South to fasten label TO- and Patterson will forget

Ten years ago General Butler assigned his rea-
son for urging the payment of the bonds with de-
precated promises, the fact that "nine-tenths Of
the bonds in the country were held east of a mer

sstently occupied this high ground of geographical
morality ever since.
The chronic report Of q coming disruption of the
Democratic party is on its rounds once more. Mr..
Hewitt seems to have been the of the revival
this time, for his episode with Aiken is taken as
basis for assertion that the Northern and Sou h.
eTn Democrats will soon part company. or course
this is absurd. The Northern Democrat can't BIO
kicked into revolt. This does not apply To Mr.
Hewitt, because the trouble with him il that he ~
not a sample Northern Democrat, and never Will be.
Toombs rises up once more to remark that the only
ambition he has in life is to be the first Governor
of Georgia under the rule of the new constitution

If Simmons shoud have his hopes fulfilled to-day.

with blood so blue that it hasn't virtue enough TO
putrcfy, that are opposed to me- They are, however
SO dried up with respectabilIty that the March
winds will blow them away and then J. shall have

the Collector, thOuRhtfully thar few of the ashes
remain. Dut the stfttt-SWccpcfs
and they will relieve of any care in that Respect"
This is frightfu language for a owly Christian to
use and shows how the sweetest natures made
marsh by political contentious.
The final conversion Of Hendricks makes the
Western Democracy more united than il has been
for years. Ohio can no longer refuse to go hand IN
hand with Indiana in the great work of making
Hendricks President. The union will nip in the bud
