Upon the receipt of our specials from Wash
ington advising us of the Radical programme
to break down Major e. A. Burke's credibii-
ty as witness before the Potter committee,
by rehashing for publication parcel Of stale
ISLANDERS which were disseminated and ex-
ploded year ago, we felt called upon by our
personal relations to submit the dispatches
to Major Burke before publishing them
Major Burke promptly consented to their
publication, and expressed his readiness to
meet any attack from any source. In the
course of o somewhat active career he has
several times been compelled to combat SINH
lar ISLANDERS and misrepresentation, which
he regards as the inevitable accompaniment
Of public life. The threatened publication of
a mass Of ISLANDERS by Curtis the hired liar
of the Chicago Inter Ocean, will not affect
Major. Burkes reputation here, nor in any
manner weaken the force of the testimony he
may give before the committee. So We say
with him, let the mud singers do their
worst.

The Cincinnati CommerciaI publishes an in
teresting interview with Cen Charles Gros-
venor, Speaker OF the Ohio House of Repre-
sentatives while Hayes was Governor of that
State, In which he gives version Of how
Hayes happened to encounter the enmity of
Conkling. The substance of Gen. Grosvenor's
statement, which we published on Wednes-
day, is that q proposition had been made to
Hayes, doubtless direct from Conkling
to the effect that his antagonism could
be counteraeted and his countenanee and
assistance secured for the administra-
ton II Hayes would agree to ignore
Morton In making up his Cabinet. This
Hayes peremptorily refused to agree to. In
regard to Key, Gen. Grosvenor says that he
himself suggested that gentleman's name to
Hayes for q Cabinet appointment and that
Hayes had favorably considered the matter
two weeks before the receipt Of the Boulds
Baker telegram. We have never been able to
see what relevancy this Boulds Baker dis
closure had to the matters under investigation
before the Potter committee, but we suppose
Ben Butler knows oil about It's Importance,
so we leave the matter to that worthy and
Gen. Grosvenor to settle between them.

Hayes, and, therefore, the Democratic State
government was rebuked by the election OF
Republican successor. Hipple-Mitchell, the
Republican Senator, and the Republican
members of Congress contributed to the steal
Ing Of the Florida and Louisiana votes, ana o
Democrat was elected to the Honse, and
Democratic Legislature that will elect q
Democrat in Hipple- MitchelPs place was also
elected. This Is very handsome hypotheti-
cal piece Of retribution, and 1t Is a pity to see
1t spoiled. Still, we feel called upon to rejoice
at sweeping Democratic victory In Oregon

The original amendment OF the Senate to
the INSTRUMENTATION appropriation passed
by the House had very much the appearance
of an attempt at intimidation. To the House
appropriation the Senate added $4,000 for
prosecuting witnesses for perjury" Such
an amendment to an appropriation for an in
vestigatlng committee was more than unu-
sual; 1t was an evident threat on the part of
the Senate to prosecute all witnesses who
exposed Republican conspiracies. Tothe Sen.
ate bill the House added another amendment,
providing immunity for every witness turn
ing States evidence or recantlng previous
periuries, thus Kidding the Senate amendment
OF the imputation that IL was intended to in,
timidate witnesses.

Gov. Robinson has done more in the way of
vetoing acts of the Legislature of New York
than any recent Governor of that State.
Among the bills vetoed by him was that inn
pudent scheme Of the Wall street holders of
repudiated Southern bonds to saddle them
upon the State of New York, so that suits
could be brought in the Federal courts by the
holders of these bonds against the States aud
municipalities that repudiated them. This
plan Gov. Robinson promptly nipped In the
bud in very emphatic manner. 'In other
words" he says, this act requires the State
to lay down its dignity. its honor and its in

The brilliantly descriptive and able articles
on the Laws of Storms" published in the
DEMOCRAT on the fifth and seventh of this
month, have, we find, attracted wide atten-
ton, even in the highest scientific circles. No
less an authority than Elias Loomis, LID,
the distinguished professor of natural phi
losophy and astronomy at Yale, and author
Of various standard works on meteorology,
mathematics and astronomy, has written an
encouraging and complimentary letter TO our
able contributor, @. Jr, In the course Of
which he says:
have seen your essays on the Claws of
Storms" In the New Orleans Daily DEMO-
GRAFT. am glad 10 see that you are attract
ing public interest to the subject of meteor
ology. Our government Is doing noble work
In collecting materials for meteorological re-
searches, and 1t Is important that the public
should be fully informed Of the progress
which has been already made. It Is possible
now to predict with considerable confidence
the weather which Is TO be expected for the
next twenty-four hours, and 1t Is reasonable
to anticipate that still greater success in pre-
diction may hereafter be attained

To the Editors of the Dispatch:

Gentlemen, believing as we do that you
are disposed 10 show fair play to your fel-
low-citizens even if they do differ with you
politically, we respectfully ask that you will
publish this as our reply 10 "Vldette."
As to the gentleman 3. II. Tucker, the one
armed Confederate soldier who lost his arm
at Gettysburg, who was secretary OF the
meeting at AleXander's Store. we leave it
to him to answer "Vidette" as to his
drunkenness and inability to write the
truth. AS to ourselves, we drove FIVE miles
expecting to bear a free and fair discussion
between the friends Of General Johnston
and Colonel Newman, but the inclcmency
of the weather prevented either party from
being represented by speakers. When the
meeting was called to order the chairman
(Mr. Pate invited any friends OF General
Johnston to come forward so as to make AZ
rangements as to division OF time. No one
cams or responded, although the Chair was
informed that there was Mr.. Jones present
who desired to speak in behalf OF General
Johnston, when loud calls were made for
7. B. Dunn. I commenced my speech by
saying that came not rs teacher. but to
be taught and to listen. l said nothing that
could leave any man in doubt as 10 my
loyalty to the Conservative party in the
past, and when "Vidette" says or infers
that fused language that any man or woman
could take exceptions at he simply tells that
[ he knows to be untrue. Mr.. Mills is now Il
justice OF the peace OF our county by ap.
pointment from bis Honor S. &. Reed, and
has as often voted with the Conservative
party as the Republican, and denounces the,
utterance Of "Vidette" (RadicaD as totally
false. In order that "Vidette " may know
