The Fifth District Nomination,

Mr.. Murch, the nominee of the Green
hackers in the Fifth District, was selected, it
seems, because of his connection with the
Stone-Cutters' Union, an organization which
pays him comfortable salary, and because of
his former party affiliations. The nomina-
ton is generally regarded as weak one.
The Ellsworth american says the object of it
is TO compel the endorsement of the Demo-
cratic District Convention. The Free Press
thinks that eff the Greenbackers had been
acting under the advice of their opponents, it
would seem as if they could have done moth
ing more farcical or calculated to bring their
political movements to an ignominious end"
The Republican journal says that it doubts
if Mr.. Hale, ''had he dictated the action of
the convention, could have made it serve his
purpose better than it has DONE" Even the
Progressive Age, the leading Gyeenback or
gan in the District cannot approve of either
convention or nominee. 1t condemns the
sentiments advanced by the speakers, and
which were violently applauded, presenting
the alternative of force and violence unless
the policy demanded was acceded to-" and
adds: 'infammatory harangues and appeals
to the base passions of ignorant men by
speakers who do not comprehend the ques-
tion at issue, are calculated to brin swift de-
feat to the cause" OF the candida te it says
Toward Mr.. Murch, the nominee, we have
none but friendly feelings. And we hould be

-NAsBYs witness has at last got along, and
his naD1e is, not McCafferty, but Weber. AS
his evidence is substantially that outlined by
the Manager Nv Testimony" we may con-
clude that the Parson miscalled his name at
first so as throw radical spies, sheriffs and
such, off the track. But Mr.. Nasby has
made one mistake in regard to his witness.
'Ez they can't find out enything about his
antecedents they cant say enything agin
him." he wrote. But they have found out
something about Weber. They have dis
covered that two years ago he professed to be
in danger of his life and called upon
loyal men at the North for protection
against Louisiana bull-dozers. They have
found that but few weeks after the
death of his brother he wrote to cousin
saying that that brother, the Supervisor Of
West Feliciana, was murdered by the White
League for telling the truth. Then he rep
resented many times to many people that the
life of no Republican, white or colored, was
safe in Louisiana. Either he was lying then
or he is lying now. His story then was sup
ported by a great mass of testimony. His
story now is only supported by James E.
Anderson. His testimony in regard to the
Sherman letter is enough TO convict him OF
falsehood. He says he destroyed that letter
in order to save the honor of bis family, and
at the same time swears he promoted the
honor of that family by falsely accusing inno-
cent men of the murder of his brother. Who
believes that man capable Of telling lies over
his brothers fresh dug grave would destroy
an instrument SO well fitted to advance his
political and pecuniary fortunes?

amazingly well at times. l think it better
number my pictures as a musician numbers
works. This plan makes the detection of fraud
easy, especially as keep book in which every
picture is entered, with full description and &C.
count of to whom sold. for how much, where
exhibted-and SO forth" This is record on
which Mr.. Tadema can look with considerable
satisfaction; for he is one of those fortunate
men who achieve success in their early man
hood. His vocation asserted itself quickly
and unmlstakably. Set to study the classical
literature of Greece and Rome, he devoted his
entire attention to ths antiquities of those coun-
tries, and after hard fight vanquishsd the
repugnarce of his family to his pursuieng the
career of an artist. In 1852 he went to study
art in the Royal Academy at Antwerp, and
profted much thereby, for the next five years;
after which he worked under the direction of
Baron II. Legs, from whom he learned more,
especially how to make picture. His first
successful work was the Education of the Chill
dreu of Clovis, exhibited in Antwerp in 1861,
and which now belongs to the king of the Bel
gians. His second success was How People
Amused Themselves 5000 Years Ago, for
which he received gold medal in the Paris
Salon of 1864. This was the first of his pictures
shown in England, and formed the great attrac-
tion of the French gallery in 1865: aud in the
same year he exhibited in the Salon Fredegonde
and Pra textstus. The first work he composed in
England was the celebrated Vintage, aud the
first painted here, A Roman Emperor; since
when he has ranked as an English painter, to
the infinite satisfaction of his adopted country.
Once Mr.. Tadema was diligent musician; but
like other successful meD, he has found that
success signifies increased work, and he has no
longer time to sit at his piano. He retains,
however, his love for music and his house Is
visited by all the famous musicians who come
to London and for that matter by famous peo-

cepting the nomination show that he is insult
able. He said that it had been understood that
he was an educated man, when it was the re-
verse He had never seen the inside of a
schooihouse since he was sixteen years old;
that he was not speaker, and as for property,
he was not worth a dollar. Now with such
testimony as this coming from himself, it is a
question to be determined by the people of the
district whether he would be fit representa-
tive to represent one of the most important
representative districts in the Union. 1t is a
singular speech; a man boasting of his lack of
acquired ability and of his having lived over
forty wears without acquiring, or saving dol
lar. Whatever may be thought of his confessed
lack of acquired ability, or his unsuitableness
to take care of the money of the people, having
never earned, or at least taken care of his own,
he certainly deserves credit for his candor.
But we fear that while his boasted lack may
make him popular with the stone-cutters, it
will have an unfavorable effecy with the rest of
the people of the district were it not notori-
Gus as it is, that he has been the head centre of
all strikes and troubles which have occurred
on the granite islands.

WHAT has become of the ''integrity of the

fessed to be contending? Turkey, with the
consent of England, is parcelled out among
Russia, Austria, Greece, Roumania, Servia,
Montenegro and Persia. The French stig-

tainly not altogether unjust.
