About STATES Rights.

We clip the following sensible edito-
rial from the Lincoln Times edited by
our former townsman, Wallace Nall,
Esq:
The Radical Republicans howl at the
top of their voices, Down with State
Rights; this is Il nation, not cOnfedcr-
ation.' Men WhohaVc more sense than
Radicals. very naturally ask themselves
and their ncighhors what result these
fanatics are trying To bringabout. From
the best evidences we are able to COM
mand, il would seem that the Radical
crew are blindly bent OnrevOlutiOn. No
man, other than fanatic will claim
that the United States government has
any other foundation than our common
constitution. There is II great deal of
talk among Radical journals about the
civil warsettling gcertainvcXedquestiOns.
BE that aS II may, we want to ask them
one question: Did our late civil war
change our form of government or the
constitutional principles upon which it
is based? They will answer, and must
answer, NO; the war was for the main
tainance of the constitution, and we
were victorious. The constitution re-
mains intact" Very true; and upon
that same instrument that was born of
the genius and patriotism of Thomas
Jefferson, the great founder of the DEM
Ocratic party, the conservative element
of the country-the party of the people
PROPOSES in the coming campaign to
fight the army of whisky thieves, treas

who for years have endcavored by all
the means known to crafty politicians
to wipe out of existence every remain
ing vestige of constitutional liberty and
set up i'll place AN aristocracy of office
holders. The Democracy comes to the
rcScuc-not as n revolutionary party
but as Il party devoted To the principles
upon which this government is founded,
and it is gratifying to note that from
Maine to Oregon people are opening
their eyes To the real ISSUES before them

McKenzie's Great Speech.

Pursuant to notice the Hon. James A.
Mckenzie spoke at the court house last
Thursday-and what a speech. Mr.
Mckenzie spoke for more than two
hours to one of the largest audiences we
have ever seen greet a speaker in this
town. 1t is needless to say that the distin-
guished speaker met the highest expec-
tations of his partisan friends,and struck
confusion into the ranks of the opposi-
ton, and doomed their hopes of tri-
umph on Monday to bitter disappoint-
ment. We have not the time, five had
the ability to do justice to this great ap-
peal on behalf of the rights of the peo-
pie, but all in all ii was in every way
worthy of the cause, the speaker and
the occasion.

From Grand Old GraysOn.

We have letters from Big Clifty,
Litchfield, Millwood, Caneyville and
Spring Lick and from them we gather
the news that Beauchamp, Democrat,
is elected TO the Legislature by lS3 ma
jority over Wortham, Greenback, who
ran next best, who beat Bruner, Re
publican, l23. Rice, Independent, only
got 80 votes. The Democratic State tick
ct carried the county by agood majority.
Malcolm Mcintyre ran ahead of the
balance of the Republican State ticket
The day passed off peacably except ut
Rough Creek where pitched battle
was indulged in, three on a side, guns
rocks and clubs the implements of war
used. All We're arrested. No one was
killed.

The Meade (r)w Cut.

In 1871 when the Mcador was green
and tender Hon. J. :. Taylor moved it
very easily, but by 1873 the grassin that
Meador had become mixed with dock,
gympsom weed, ragweed, sedge grass,
DC, and the Coleman reaper failed to
cut it, BY 1877 the Meador had become
more tangled than ever, and although
the Coleman reaper had been repaired
and sharpened,it again failed to cut it.In
1879 the Democrats got upa ewpatent,
called the Hooker clipper. The Meador
by this time had become considerably
mixed with dog fennel, but the Hooker
clipper cut it clean in Il day. The crop
mown is of such nondescript character
as to be worthless and will be left on the
ground and plowed under, and the soil
will be sOwn i'm some other grain.

Deputy L. y. Marshals.

These deputies are generally the slum
of creation. Nearly every one of these
employed to carry the congressional
election i'm Cincinnati last fall We're ex-
criminals. Among the number, Dave
Pocker, who had served II term i'm the
Work House for six months, another
Chas. Hayman had been charged with
counterfeiting and was under indictment
for rape. These are the kind of men
employed at s. 90 each per day, payable
out of thepublic crib, under the pretense
of seeing that a free and impartial elec-
tion is held, but really for the purpose of
arresting enough Democrats without
cause, and place them in prison pens
until after the election is over so as to
prevent their voting, and thereby secure
the election Ofthe Republican candidate.

pie of the United States have not for
gotten the wisdom of the founders of
this country, and erect upon the ruins
am arbitrary, centralized government.
We do not expect to win this victory
alone, for scattered over this broad land
are thousands of old-time Republicans
who have become alarmed at the CEN
tralizing tendencies of the party leaders,
and in the next election will east their
votes with the party of the people. So,
ON the whole, we are content to let the
Radicals howl about the "Nation," con-
scious that time will vindicate the wis
dom of those noble minds who cemented
the States in an eternal bond of unity

P0sT-MAsTER RowE was heard yes
terday singing in sad mournful metre.
We listened long enough to catch the
following:
The Democratic boom and crash
Has broke our party all to smash.
We thought our man would be elected
In spite Of all primroses,
But the way the peanuts gobbled us,
II Is sin to Moses.
We're In gulf OF dark despair,
Without a linsey shirt to wear;
Our Meado(r)w has been moved,
Our strong hold has been taken,
We feel wretched and forlorn ,sadan dforsaken.

PEyToN ROBY is the best satisfied
Radical We have met since Mondays
election. Roby says that Hubbard and
himself have their law license secured,
and Perry Rowe has the Post Office all
of which they hold under the law. We
are sorry, however, to see a young man
of Roby'sbrilliant promise, keeping such
bad political company. Roby is honest
but woefully misguided.

The Ohio County NC,,S came out late

as Il halfsheet of il is better than a whole

BEAVER DAM, July 3l.-About an
hour before the noon train arrived at
this point to-daya large crowd, number
ing no less than II thousand, had as
sembled to meet the Hon. Jim McKen-
zic, who came from Hopkinsville this
morning and spoke at Hartford this
evening to large and attentive audi
ence. His argument upon the green
back question ought to convince any
Greenbacker that there is no Use in
forming a new party, and did convince
a great majority of them thus in this
county. The Republican question was
briefly discussed, but not very much
time was devoted to that party, still
they got their dues. His speech lasted
about three hours, and was one among,
if not the best speech ever made in Ohio
county, and will long he remembered
by all of his hearers.

Radical Hypocrisy for the Soldier.

An ex-oficer of the army, Colonel
Sedgwick, fell dead in the City park of
New York the other day, and was identi-
ned by means Of letter in his pocket
from the union republican congressional
committee, dated at Washington 10 1875,
and demanding $40 of him as an officer in
the second auditors Office to help carry on
the republican campaign of 1876. The
circular was signed by Zach. Chandler,
Simon Cameron, John A. Logan and other
stalwart statesmen, and intimated that
unless the $40 was promptly forthcoming,
Colonel Sedgwick need mot expect to be
any longer recognized as a republican, nor
receive any more favors at the hands of
the republican party. Whether or not the
colonel paid this assessment does not ap-
pear, probably mot, as it didn't appear
from all that could be learned of him that
he had been 10 the employ of the govern
ment for long time. He died unknown
and in want, an evidence of how dearly
republican politicians love the union SOL
