Every dipIomatist has his own way of CON
ceaing his thoughts. Prince Bismarck found
that the best way to deceive WAS to tell the
truth, because there was u presumption in
the mind Of his hearers that hA would not do
SO. The plan of Ignatieff is to mix up truth
with falsehood. In one conversation he will
contradict himself dozA times and ii this
is pointed out to him he merely smiles
Viewed from artistic point, there is Il Ger
tain merit IN this habit, for it Is far more puz-
cling than persistent truth or persistent false
hood

HARMONY, brotherly love and so forth
particularly the last-named article-are
essential to the success Of a political or
ganization. These do not exis, among the
Republicans at the State capital. On the
contrary quite the reverse, as the good
Capt. Cutie or somebody else has re-
marked. This fact fills Us with the oppo-
site Of sorrow, for in the discussions Of our
Republican brethren We see prospects Of
Democratic advantage. After miserable
existence the State Journal, the Republi-
can organ, died; and over its grave there
has been a wrangle engendering much
bitterness. One faction was determined
10 get into the shoes Of the
dead newspaper and another faction svore
that the first faction should no; have its
desire in this regard. The first faction is
anu-somethlng and the second iacnon anti
something else, and 50 the battle RACES,
with no prospect Of peace. It seems that
we shall now have two Republican papers
at the capital and as matter Of course,
neither will amount TO much and both will
contribute TO Republican decentralization
and the success Of the Democratic party.
The fight Of these factions is to US the
husband and bear fight. We are the con.
tented wife; and observing the varying
fortunes of the battle, have good word for
both husband and bear. We do not like
either, and in the battle both will get hurt
and it is to be hoped neither will survive.

GRAIN FRAUDS.

Il has been observed that grain shipped
to the East-to New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore does not hold out in meas
ure. This shortage has been attributed 10
Western dishonesty, against which the hon
esty Of New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more has cried aloud. But sometime ago,
when Baltimore became fearful that some
other market would get her grain trade,
the Cosnard Flour Exchange Of that city
appointed committee 10 ascertain the
cause Of the apparent shortage. The re-
suit Of the investigation showed that at all
Of the elevators, both Of the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Northern Central railroad.
there was system Of spilling grain that
belonged to Western shippers. It was
permitted TO run out on the floors, and
was then swept up, put into bag.
and sold by the spillers. One man who
bought this grain had a boat constantly
employed in taking it from the elevators Of
the Baltimore and Ohio road, and that he
alone bought as much as two thousand
bags month for more than two years. AT
one time this man had in his store for sale
five thousand bushels Of corn thus pro.
cured, which was as good corn as ever grew
At the Northern Central elevators the short.
age went up from thirty bushels in thirty
thousand bushels, going through the eleya.
tors TO as much as two hundred and fifty
bushels, and when the shipments amounted
to millions Of bushels, the stealage was
enormous.
The witnesses from whom these and
other facts were obtained were employc,
Of the elevators; and all Of them have beer
discharged. The probabilities are that tn,
spilling system is still in vogue, and oui
Western grain dealers are being robbed o.
thousands Of bushels Of wheat and corn.

DR., JACOB J. GORDON, the plaintiff in the
divorce suit Of Gordon vs.. Gordon, COM
plains loudly that THE BULLETIN has done
him a great injustice by publishing his rea-
sons for asking the court to separate him
from his wife. He has no good cause for
this complaint. He could not expect THE
BULLETIN would keep silence about mat
ter that was town talk-that was in the
mouth Of every man, woman and child.
The story was amusing, and its recital was
a treat We could not in the kindness Of our
nature keep from our readers. twas rich,
rare and racy. II was a tit-bit OF news
The BULLETIN could not overlook, and by
our publication we cleared up many untrue
stories. We were the doctors friend in the
matter. We permitted him to get down
without being much injured, and we look
upon his complaints as rather mean. We
are not unfriendly to him even yet. But
he should not make his unjust complaints
against US. He should thank Us for what
we did not tell instead of blaming Us foy
what We gave to the public.

After contest between these gentlemen,
Mr.. Oberly is to be suggested as the right
man TO reconcile differences. The sugges.
ton having been made, in accordance with
the designs of this deep-laid and nefarious
plot, Mr.. Oberly is to be duly nominated
and elected. Then he is to be made United
States Senator next winter, or Governor in
1880.
Mr.. Oberly may well be amazed. A
modest and very retiring gentleman, honors
that he never dreamed of are thus thrust
upon HIM. But all the Suns surmises are
stuff. There is no truth nor probability in
them. Mr.. obcrly is not candidate for
congress- and has expressly said, time and
again, he does not desire the nomination of
his party for that Office. What he does de-
sire is success of the Democratic party this
fall, and he therefore deprecates the attempt
being made to take from the Jonesboro con-
venton the character OF deliberation body.
Mr. O.-but letus drop this man and say
The BULLETIN does not deny the right OF
Mr., Graham or Of Mr.. Allen TO take adj
vantage Of the absence of Mr.. Hartzell at
Washington and induce counties to hold
conventions and instruct their delegates.
This is the way in which nominations are
made certain, but il is not the best way TO
proceed in an attempt 10 make certain q
victory in close district. The fact is, at
this time the Democrats Of this congress
ional district should meet in convention not
for the purpose OF nominating Judge Allen,
OF. Mr.. Hartzell or Mr.. Graham,
but for the purpose of de-
,ermining who would be the strongest
candidate and Of selecting him as the
man TO bear the Democratic stan
dard. In no other way than this can
success be made certain. A "set up" con-
vention should not be held at this particu-
lar juncture in the political history Of the
Eighteenth Congressional district. We,
therefore, hope that no other counties will
instruct their delegates. The delegates,
now that Judge Allen has his own, Perry
and Williamson counties, should be sent to
the JonesbOro convention uninstructed;
and these delegates, after taking all
matters into consideration, should NOM
mate as candidate some Democrat
who can be elected beyond any reasonable
doubt. Mr. Oberly does not believe he is
this Democrat, and will not give his con-
sent to be mentioned as even possible can
didste; buiTHg BULLETIN insists that it
will be unwise to FIX q doubtful slate By
manipulating county conventions.

may be a liar, and it may not be that Col.

Democratic nomination, but that he will

ties 70 support him certain in the Demo
cratic convention. This will give him %

port Allen in the convention, but will favor
Graham or Hartzell; 50 will Pulaski. and

will be divided, and Randolph will

In the succeeding ballots there will be a
hot contest. 1t will be argued that Allen
can never be elected; that Hartzell has had
it twice. that Graham is not Democrat,
and has black horse. The name of John
H. Oberly will be introduced. We are not
told that this will be done with Mr.. Ober-
ly's consent, but his friends are very quiet.
and when the time comes his name will
be sprung, and if he is nominated he
will beE compellcd to accept. ODER.
ly's friends, this bird tells US, are anxious
for him 10 be the Democratic candidate for
governor two years hence (and Obcrly is not
averse TO this, and they believe that if he
can be elected to congress, he will make a
record that will give him the advantage
over his Democratic opponents for the
gubcrnatorial nomination. They also

than Allen or Hartzell; and the fact that
he has a newspaper that would do good
work for the party and a number Of per-

fact that he is considered very moderate

vantage that no other Democrat could have.
The bird further says that his candidacy
would not affect his present position. II
ne was elected to congress, he would have
a better thing, and stand good chance for
the senatorial or gubcrnatorial nomination,
and if he was defeated, he could continue
In hisprcscnt office, and have greater claims
as candidate for governor than if he had
not made the race at ALL Now, that is the
way this little bird talks, but he may be
