The friends of the Hon. Jno. Ire
land, with his consent. have determin-
ed to submit his name before the San
Antonio Convention, to meet on the
18th proximo, for nomination to Con-
gress as Representative from the 9th
District. The ability of Judge ireland
may be upquestioned, and he may be
in every way we'll qualified for the
position, but we already have a man
representing us who will DO a candi-
date for denomination, who has proven
himself to be a statesman of pre.emi-
nent ability and who has served us
truly, conscientiously and faithfully !;
and. in view of this, it it will be our
duty and pleasure to support him.
There is another reason for our deter.
mination to keep Col. Schleicher in Of.
fee. if possible. so long as he retains
his capacity and integrity, that should
weigh with every voter. The Fast and
North, and the west also, to certain
extent, have derived strength in their
representation in our National Halls
by retaining in affice those who proved
faithful to their interests and the skill
and experience obtained during re.
peated sessions have enabled such to
triumph over men of even higher de-
gree of intellectually and statesman.
ship, but of less experience. This is
the great weakness of southern repre-
sentation instead of retaining good
men in Office we are too much disposed
from personal regard, kindred motives
and 6ckleness, to change with every,
term, thus keeping q representation,
who despite their intellectual ability,
are green and inexperienced who, to
use a vulgar expression, do not know
the ropes, and whose efforts, for this
reason, are set at naught, while they
are readily manipulated by the older
and more experienced representatives

We have received q letter from a
friend in Hays county who desires to
move to this county and start hos
ranch. He wants to rent about thirty.
five or forty acres, in good state of
cultivation, under good fence, with
plenty of water. He says owing to the
hog law in Hays he is compelled to
move out. Any one having suita BILE
place for rent will please notify this

IN the matter Of the confessed per

In the matter OF the confessed per-
iurer. Anderson, il is well to remem-
Der this one important fact, that his
testimony puts the Republicans be-
tween the horns Of dilemma where
they can get no consolation, turn
which way they please to. If Ander-
son is to be believed now the fraud in
Louisiana is an established fact, while
if he is not to DO believed it is be-
cause he is a man not to be trusted un'
der oath. and his testimony to intlml'
dalton in Feliciaua parish was as value
less as his testimony now before the
Potter committee. Yet the East Fell
cana parish vote was thrown out upon
his unsupported testimony, and it he
is not a trustworthy witness there was
no excuse for refusing to count that
vote, which. if counted, would have
given Louisiana to Tilden. Either al
brings the same destruction
to the Republicans. and they may
make the most they can of this man,
who is simply one Of themselves after
all.-&. Louis Republican.

IT would be better for Mr.. Hayes,
aud for all his friends who wish to be
recognized as honest men, to give a
cordial second and sanction to this in.
vestigation instead OF opposing it. The
Electoral swindle was an unspeakably
ugly and filthy piece Of business, and
public men who are wise will be glad
to see the responsibility for it traced
home to its inventors and perpetrators.
Truth is always safe in the long run,
and nothing short of the truth is ever
entirely safe for men, parties or nations.

flow 10 Dust the Fraudulent
President.

Iron the Dubuque Telegraph.
Impeachment would imply that he
was legitimately the President, when
the cause Of his removal, if it should
exist at all, is that he is not the Presi-
dent. Besides, it il not charged that
as President he has committed any i'm.
peachable offence. What, then, is
there on which to ,mpeach him ?
Nothing. He cannot be removed by
impeachment, nor will Congress at.
tempt to remove him by such means.
It would be both futile and illegal /;
and the President. no doubt, knows it
to be so. But if it be found that he
was not elected at all, and that fraud
was used to make it appear that he
was elected, and that his agents acted
for him in the preparation of that
fraud, as it is evident Sherman and
Matthews did-then, in that case, he
can be removed by the simple means
of quo warranto, and it will not take
the army and navy Of tho United
States to serve the writ, nor could the
army and navy of the United States,
marshalled by the President to defend
his fraudulent title, prevent its being
served.

rating the previous testimony OF An
derson. Every man who testiies seems
to make palmer the infamous charac-

the fact that most of these creatures
we're carpet bagaers." Other Louis
ianaians will testify today, and perhaps
tomorrow, and then Gov. Stearns,
Dennis and others from florida will
take the stand.
In the way of legislation all interest

there will be a hard contest On the
Army Bill the main question will be

the House will yield and the senate

On the Sundry Civil Bill the fight

An UNPLEASANT sCANDAL.
The Case OF Mr.. Thorp Against His WIFE
New Trouble Threatened.

A suit for divorce is pending in tho Supe-
rlor Court brought by Mr.. Gould H. Thorp.
a provision dealer doing business at III Broad
street and on tho Produce Exchange.
He separated from his wife last February.
and shortly after brought suit for divorce. In
the complaint he alleged that at various times
and places specified sho had committed
adultery with Mr.. Lloyd Phoenix. tho woll-
known yachtman.
In the answer OF the defendant. which. to-
gether with the complaint. is on file In the
Court. the charge OF adultery s neither admit
ted nor denied excepting by the customary
and formal general denial. The application
for divorce. however. is contested on a point
sets up that the plaintiff, in bringing suit for
divorce in this particular court. is guilty OF con-
tempt. inasmuch as a former wife of his. some
four years ago, procured divorce in tbs
same court. on the ground OF adultery. and the
Court at that time ordered him not to marry
again during the life OF his former wife. This.
the answer SAYS, can be shown from the records
OF the, court and prayer Is made that ho be nom
suited.
Since the separation, Mrs. Thorp has livod in
handsome rooms in the Jex apartment house
afternoon. II is reported that she was vis-
tied by Mr.. Phoenix. and. after very stormy
scene. that such threats were made that she
was justified in applying to tho officers Of the
law for future safety Capt, Williams says that
he had only heard that there was trouble In
Mrs Thorp's rooms yesterday afternoon. He
had no knowledge OF any appeal to the police.
