ADMIRAL WuITTHORNE is in a bad way.
His constituents do not seem to appreciate
him. The convention in his district ad-
journed after taking 1872 ballots and failing
to make nomination, leaving four candi-
dates in the field. If this fight among the
harmonious" ~ Democracy should result
in sending Republican to Congress from
that district, we'll and good. But If the
Democrats are to hold it, let the man be
WuIrTHoRNE by all means. 1t would be a
great pity to have him out Of Congress,

that Mr.. WHITTHoRNE's constituents have

The latent regard entertained for BEN
BUTLER by a certain class of Republicans

THE Bourbon element was too strong in
the fifth Congressional district of New Jer-
sey for Mr.. CUTLER to obtain a renonina-
ton. His votes in Congress during the last
session, reaflirming the validity of President
HAYES title, were too great crime to be
condoned by the Copperheads, and Mr.
DEMAREsT, of Bergen County, received the
nomination. This latter gentleman will re-
ceive the votes of all his political friends
but he will find there will not be enough ot
them to. elect him, and that his Republican
competitor will be chosen to the Forty-sixtl
Congress by large majority.

IT is now definitely ascertained by whom
the removal Of General SPEAR from the
Office of Commissioner of Patents was nc.
complished. 1t had been surmised that the
resignation of that officer was superindrccd
by an insinuating note from the Secretary
of the Interior; but it turns out, unless the
facts are misreprescnted, that the Post-erioI
knew it first, knew it all the time, and was
at the bottom of the foul conspiracy thai
eventuated in the resignation of o capable
public officer. COLUMBUS thought he dis
covered America, aud history has credited
him with the achievement, but it may turn
out that we arc indebted to tie Post-criol
for that boon.

THE reelection of Congressman DIBRELL,
Of Tennessee, is urged on the ground that
he has done 50 much for his people. 1t is
further said that he represents one Of the
most intelligent and discriminating con-
stituencies in the United States. 1t is
doubtful whether any great number of the
people of the United States would ever
have known that there was such man as
DTBRELL in Congress if it had not been for
the recent announcement that his son had
pleaded guilty to the crime of Illicit distilla-
ton, coupled with the fact that the Con-
gresham did all he was capable of doing
to defeat Commissioner RAUM's efforts to
punish Illicit distillation. If the majority
of the people in his district have the intel
ligence and discrimination that is claimed
for them they will want to be represented
by some one who can do more than defend
illicit distillers.

tidings of tho death of ono Of only two sur
vving aud highly esteemed blood nephcws OF
the editor of THE REPUBLICAN. Tho sub.
ject Of the notice was young man of promise,
who had completed his study of the law at

College at Des Moincs, Iowa, from which he
graduated Bachelor of Law iu June, 1871
The full course of the law department was
compasscd In just half the number of years
generally allotted to 1t, and this intellectual
oycrstrlin was no doubt ut the sacrifice of his
life, for some six months ago his disease, which
terminated in degenentiye softening of tho
brain, began to develop itself and sternly re-
sisted every effort of medical skill to arrest It's
progress, and gradually and in the midst of
great suffering took its young victim to the
grave.
The InteIligencer, in referring to the subject
of this notice, pays the following tribute to
his memory:

In the third district General JOHNSTON

over, Greenbacker, afrording u most ex-
cellent opportunity for JoHS PoPHAM to
enter the race as Republican candidate.
In the fourth district Dr. JoRGENsEN,
Republican, has his old-time opponent,
HINTON, of ballot-stuifing notoriety, to
beat, which he will do this time by several
thousand. or this nobody entertains any
doubt HINTON is opposed by most Of the
respectability of his own party and one Of
the leading daily papers of his district,
while the Republicans were never more
harmonious or thoroughly united. In the
fifth district CABELL Is opposed BY q
Greenbacker, Colonel WITcHER, q scion
of an old Wing family, and Colonel CLAI-
BORNE, q Republican. The district ought
to be reclaimed by the Republicans, and wo
are not without hope that it will be. Mr.
TICKER is opposed by Captain CAMN PAT
TEsoN an old Wing of pluck and talent,
and possessing the additional Confederate
recommendation of being minus an arm.
He is popular, and good speaker, and the
Richmond Wing says will be elected. In

bilities are that HARRIS aud HuSToN will
be returned, though the former has rs his
opponent Captain PAUL, Of his own party.
The ninth district, however, represented
in the last Congress by PRIDEMoRE, with
the exception Of the second district, pre-
sents the most hopeful prospect for Re-
publican gain. After stormy session, in
which some counties were not represented
at all, the Democracy nominated Colonel
RICHMOND, Of Lee County. Straightway
there appeared on the scene of action five
independent candidates, among them the
famous FAYETTE MCMULLES, who is cred
tied with carrying several Of the mountain
counties in his pocket. Among these candi-
dates is Major CAMPBELL, of Washington
County, u Republican, who will unite his
party vote with considerable Democratic
strength that will thereby ensure his elec.
tion. The Democratic split in that district
is hopelessly incurable, aud the Republi-
cans of the southwest have now the best
opportunity presented them that has oc-
Cured since the war for electing one of

as gentlemen and receive assurances of the
support of men in good standing in the
