The Hickman CoURIER is bound to make
itself famous. 1t reminds US of = reck-
less sport who will drive at full speed
just as close to the brink of a precipice
as possible to not toppie over. The CouR-
IER aspires TO the leadership OF the Dem
ocrstic party in the First District, and
yet it is continually making suggestions
the most impraciicable, and reasons the
most unreasonable Its latest suggestion
is to hold primary election in August
in the Congressional race, and 'let the
two receiving the highest number of votes
run through. II Clinton Democrat.
The CoURIER's plan has been tried
in several districts of Tennessee, aud
has proved as oil upon the troubled
waters of local politics. Mr. Good
pasture, a distinguished democratic
Senator of that State, sought to have
this principle of party organization
grated into the Statutes as permanent
law, and only lost it by Il email vote in
a Legislature two thirds democratic
The truth is, while the plan of two
nominees in this District, fnsures the
success of the Democratic party. it
does not insure the success of any m
diridual Hence, the advocates OF
certain favorites, weigh it, not as
fair, right and honest plan, but will it
elect or defeat my man. The GoUKfEN
has no candidate--it don't care a whit
nor a whistle for Que nor the other, but
wants the will of the majority Of the
people. Our plan goes direct 10 the
PeoPte-at time when they are voting
any how for THAR county candidates
and they can then at their regular
August election express their choice
for Congress. Politicians may maneu-
YER against such plan-because the
will of the people, is the last thing
they want-but what candidate will
drge oppose it2

The Great Investigation was begun
at Washington on Saturday, but there
was nothing ia the proceedings to
sustain the forebodings of revolution
and strife which the croakers have
been wildly indulging since this ques
ton was revived by the Potter resolu
tien. We cannot perceive that the
inquiry is likely to lead to any good
result, nor can We. understand how IT
is going to induce new rebellion
Ii is not a Southern issue any more
than it is Northern one; there is,
indeed, nothing sectional about it; it
is not even purely party question,
for, while it is opposed by some Demo
Gratis, it is favored by some Republi
cans. To get up rebellion there
mast be something to rebel against.
and section, party or faction TO sup
ply the rebels. At present the incl
ting cause is lacking, and it is not
perceptible where the rebels are to
come from.

son. Wits MachenIs,he one

The Paducah News, we believe,
announced that Mr. Darby. of Cald
wellleounty, had been elected Chairman
of the Congressional committee of this
District, and rhat upon him devove d
the duty of calling the Committee to
gether to consider the necessity for
convention or primary election. The
News is in error on this point. The
State Committee rules that the mem
Der of the State Executive Committee
10 each District shall be the Chair
man Of that Congressional Committee,
This makes the Hon. Willis 3 Mach
co, of Lyon county, the Chairman of
this District, and upon him deyolves
the responsibility of acting or not ac
ting in the matter. Some have argured
that Col Turner was the Chairman,
and others that Mr.. Darby was, and
both have been censured for non-action;
but such comment is unjust toward
either Of these gentlemen. Mr. Machen
is the mau, aud the power could not be
lodged in more honorable hands.
The question has been discussed for
months aud months, aud we believe a
large majority of the Democracy en-
dorse the CoURIER's plan and that dis
satisfaction will be augmented and
increased if the party authorities
neglect or delay action. The interest
and well being of the party demands
that Mr.. Machen should call til e
Committee together at once, and at
least give the propositions courteou S
consideration. fla primary election
is ordered for the regular August
election, ample time should be given
to the candidates to canvass their
claims before the people, and this
being true, it is now full time that
Mr.. Machen should act. Delay viii !
be construed as a deliberated intent
to avoid or dodge primary at the
regular August election. Such an
attitude will prove grie0ous mis- take
on the part Of our party authorities.
If they are opposed to primary elec-
tion--if they are opposed to two nomi
uees-if they are in favor Of a couven-
ton, let Them meet aud say so boldly.
Our Committee men are honorable
gentlemen, AID this thing Of dodgin
behind ',ime" or personal favoritism
must notbe imputed to them.

that it had been reported to him that
Judge Trimble IN speech at Marion,
had charged that he (Turner) was a
citizen Of Louisville aud not actually
a resident of this District, and hence
had 10 right to represent the District
in Congress. Turner dsnoupced this

The Democrat, and other conven

that their objection to a primary elec-
