be given warm reception on their re-
turn. Indignation against them is very
strong for assuming to represent the OIL
producers, and the members OF the Pro-
ducers' Union will not be tender hearted
in showing their contempt for such
action. These delegates had the right to
take what individual steps they pleased,
but it was certainly piece OF petty
meanness OF which honorable men
should not be guilty to endeayor to palm
themselves off as representatives OF the
oil producers, as was shown in the re-
ports of the Associated Press.
Sword of the Gar.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
< The presentation of splendid sword
to Shere Ali, the Amer of Cabul, by
the Gar of Russia, through General
kaufman, was an incident OF much
greater moment than such occurrences
usually are. Coming as 1t does close
upon the forward movement OF the
English troops, it is peculiarly signiti-
can't and vet we are told that Russia
does not intend interfering in the An
elo-Afghan struggle unless it become
evident that the British Government
contemplates the complete subsection
and ownership of Afghanistan.
The language connected with the pre-
sentation is certainly remarkable. On
the blade of the weapon was inscribed,
in the Persian tongue, the words: May
God give thee victory over the infidels.
A question arises rs to the identity OF
the .infidels." Are they the Christians
or the Mohammedans? the English
Christians or the Buddhists?

And now let us hear no more OF this
greenback damphoolism, which came so
near up citing the Democratic hay-cart
in so many Congressional districts.
Southern Frauds.
Pittsburgh Post.
There has been a change OF tone BY
the Republican press in regard TO the
Southern elections. The bloody shirt
has been iurled. because the recent
elections have been indisputably the
most peaceful held in the South since
the war. and the preliminary canvass
rs free from anything like intimidation
as the elections North. The cry OF
fraud and ballot box stuffing takes the
place OF Rebel outrages is the reason for
Federal interference.
"The Solid South"
The Nation.
The solid plan resembles extremely
the plan Of promoting peace now gener-
ally adopted in Europe by the mainten-
ance OF enormous ornaments. France
is armed because Germany il armed.
and Italy because Austria and France
and Germany is armed, and so on round
the circle. Each is solid, in other
words. because the other is solid"

dnuERNoR HAMPTON.

Affairs in South Carolina point very
conclusively to the election OF Governor
HAMPTON to the United States Senate, to
succeed PATTERSON. a+s CIR
The native ability, the calm statesman
ship, the answering integrity and
patriotism which South Cardinals Gov
ernor has exhibited to the world in the
most trying epoch OF her political
history, has made him easily not only
the chief among his own people and the
chosen representative man of the South
but has also gained him more or less
admiration from all sections OF the
country. Nor will the country ever
allow such aman to drop out OF sight or
out Of its service. The people Of his State
will send him tothe Senate where he can
take part in the councils OF the nation,
and have a wider and more useful field
Of activity
Once in the Senate, we haxe no doubt
that Gov. HAMPTON would command
the respect and be received as the peer
. OF his associates in that body, from what
ever section OF the country they come.
His known conservatism Oh all ques-
tious, together with the strength OF his
convictions and firmness of character IN
the midst OF opposition, would constitute
him at once leader OF his section and a
positive power in all the issues OF the
day. He would be as ballast to his
choleric colleagues, and no amount OF
tumult, intimidation or defiance, if we
may judge him by the past, would serve
to divide him from position consclen-
tiously taken, or cause bin to lose his
head" lie would, by his calmness and
craftsmanship, become an Invaluable
aid in dissipating the feeling OF section
alism and antagonism which are divld-
ing the country.

As the Indian retreats before advanc-

the boosting OF political demagoguery,
there were nine negroes secured seats in

1879 there will be but one, showing a

the facts which attach to his political
