WITHIE the past two weeks Grew has
developed unexpected strength in the
north western portion Of the State as an
aspirant for the nomination for Governor
by the Republican State convention
Crows success i'll securing the delegates
from several counties in the oil region aud
Immediately around it, follows closely on
llackey's visit TO that section, and is there
fore the more surprising. However pleas
ant these results may be to Grow, they af-
ford no safe indication Of Hoyt's defeat
The Cameron leaders have put lIoyt FOR
ward as their candidate, and to suppose
that they wonld permit Grow, or any other
man, to step in aud carry off the honor
vOuld be to attribute to them tbinness in
political management which they have
never been known to display. When the
convention meets they will prove equal to
tue occasion, and, so far as the nomination
is concerned, will assert their supremacy,
as they have always heretofore done. After
that has been accomplished, Ar. Grow and
lis supporters can take their choioo aud
either DUw down and worship the Cameron
iuol, or sbatter it into fragments They
have The power to do the latter, but they
lack the nerve.

NcLTN, the coIored Secretary Of State Of
Florida in 1878, and also a member of the
Returning Board, has made a written con-
Gcs,ion covering the fraudulent transactions
by which the vote Of the state was declaI de
for Hayeg. L. G.. Dennis, kUowu as the
"itte giant" Of Alachua county, has also
Confessed all the details of the frauds at
the Archer election precinor, in that coun-
ty. and says that tC0 hundred and fourteen
names were added to tie return from said
precinct after the voting was over. These
two confessions were placed in the hands
OF the present Secretary Estate, BloXham,
on Monday last, and by him forwarded to
Washington. It is said that both McLin
and Dennis were rewarded for making
these confessions, bu. in what way is not
stated. McLin was appointed by Hayes
last summer to judgeship in New Mexi
CO, but was rejected by the Senate soon af-
ter Congress met last December. We will

TIE Philadelphia Recorder bill iniquity
was brought to successful issue in the
Legislature on yesterday week. 1t was a
fixed fact with the Republican leaders ever
since the commencement of the session
that the bill was bound to have a safe de-
liverance, even though the newspaper
press, the councils Of Philadelphia, and
nine-tenths of the people were openly op-
posed to it. n. S. Quay. the moss adroit
and unscrupulous Republican trickster in
the State, next to his friend Bob Nackev,
must be pensioned with ten year Office
against-the wishes of the people, and in
violation ofths plain inteDdment and spirit
Of the constitution. Hartrauft fulfilled his
part Of the compact with indecent haste.
for the ink W ith which he wrote his appro-
val of the bill was scarcely dry before he
sent TO the Senate the rame Of VI. s. Quay
as Recorder. VIII the Senate confirm sbis
nomination? This Is now the question.
The new constitution requires that execu-
tive nominations shall be confirmed by a
twO-thirds vote or all the Senators elected,
and it will therefore require thirty Touy
votes 70 confirm the nomination. There
are thirty one Republicans in the Senate,
aud they must be reinforced by three Dem
ocrats to make the necessary number.
Even II Bussey, Of York, repeats his trea-
sonable vote in favor Of the Bank Commis-
siouerslip bill, it will not save Quay. The
whole business from its inception to its
close has been disgraceful, and it now be-
comes the imperative duty of every Demo-
cratic Senator to resist the contamination
of the outrage, and to proclaim to Gov.
Hartranft, by their refusal to confirm
Quay, thus far may thou 60, but no
further" The unanimous wishes Of the
people of Philadelphia ought to be more
potential wi h Democratic Senators than
the personal schemes Of HartranfU aud his
Secretary Quay, aud ought to point out
To them the plain path OF duty. sWe fully
endorse :he words Of the Lancaster TntcIgt-
senceT on this question when it says:
The bill for Cuay's benefit was Il measure
simply N the interest Of Republican polifi-
clan aud 70 increase the campaign sund of his
party. The Democratic senators arc ia duty
bound TO oppose its operation by all lawful
means in their power, aud any one who allows
ms personal regard for QUAY To stand between

The Senate OF tie United States last
week repealed the bankrupt law by vote
OF 81 to 6, and it is regarded as very certain
that the House will do the same thing as
soon as a Vote on the bin can be reached.
The present law was enacted in 1867 and
has lasted much longer than either Of the
two that preceded it. That a carefully
drawn and iudicious bankrupt law ought
TO exist in this country is not seriously dis
puted, since there should be period in the
career OF every honest man whose business
transactions have resulted disastrously,
when he can invoke the aid Of a court in
disposing Of his effects in such way as
will most benefit his creditors. The pres
eut Ia " has not proved itself TO be OF that
character, but the very reverse, and 1t is
not singular that there should exist loud
demand for its repeal, As general rule,
the claims of the creditors of a bankrupt,
whether voluntary or involuntary, have
been pretty well wiped out by the costs
which have accumulated through long de-
lay and the payment Of lawyers fees. The
law has been prostituted 10 the very worst
purposes, and has become an instrument of
fraud in the settlement Of bankrupt estates,
neither beneftting the bankrupt himself
nor bis creditors. 1t is time that the law
was taken from the statute book and its
place supplied with one that viii prevent
rather than iepd assistance to the fraudu-
lent debtors who assume the disguise OF
bankruPts.
