The election by the Legislature of a sue
cessor to Bruce of the United States Senate
is now but six weeks away And it is time
members elect of the Democratic party were
considering the choice of men to be made.
They are not confined to those whose names
have been regarded as before the public as
candidates, much less are they confined to
to such as have made a canvass OF the State
all gentlemen of personal and party inte-
gritty, and of qualifications and fitness of a
high order They are as free to choose as
their friends and constituents are to advise
them. And while others are making their
selections and expressing their preferences,
we take the liberty of doing the same thing,
and declare for w. 5. Featherston, as our
choice-not because he is from Marshall, or
because we owe to, or expect anything from
him, or because he has ever expressed to us
any wish to be elected; but because, all
things and circumstances considered, we
now regard him as, in this view, the foremost
man of the State,
Here follows a lengthy review of Gen.
Featherston's eventful political career which
we regret we have not room to copy. The
article closes as follows
His whole career has shown him man
the times call for as fittest to be placed in
the halls of Congress, and we say now that
we know no man among the jewels of the
State more fit in all respects for the position
of Z. 5. Senator He is in accord with all
the interests and wishes of the State, sound
and liberal as to finance, anti-tariff, the
friend oflocal-selfgovernmept, and we think
the man to be selected in decided preference
to any we know to be in the field. Let no
aafI mol ha aa1ao
ton of the best man, who may as well come
from the South as the North and from the
North as the South. We have not before
INDUCED in any discussion of this issue
among worthy rival candidates, and, where
all are entitled to be fairly represented we
trust the necessary length of the present ar
ticle will be excused. We should be glad
if it was possible to say much for every
other candidate in the field.

On the eve of the New York cleo
ton the Greenback party of New
York City met, and recognizing the
hopelessness of any effort to elect the
party candidate for Governor, Harris
Lewis, resolved, therefore, that the
votes of the party should not be
cast for him. 1t was a dissolution of
the party, its members having got tired
of throwing away their votes. Peter
Cooper came out in favor of Governor
Robinson, and advised his followers to
do likewise.
One would think that the Greenback
party would be ready to give up the
ghost. Nevertheless what is left of it,
the Central Greenback Club, was called
upon by the Independent to meet in
jackson on Saturday night the 18th
inst, to consider the situation. We
have not heard the result.

THE Louisville Courier-Journal has
interviewed upon the political situation a
fine old Virginia octogenarian, Richard
Dudley Mason, Esq, who has lived a
recluse for generations, remote from
newspapers and the world in general,
but strange to say the old gentleman
speaks as glibly of current events as if
he was a real man of news. He is
certainly as well posted as the average
Congressman upon the Presidential
question and repeats with the skill of a
street corner adept the current argu-
ment in favor of the nomination of one
ofthe Democratic aspirants. Assuming
that Gen. Grant will be the Republican
candidate, he dispOses of Gen. Hancock
in summary fashion:
cit is never safe to run the Lieutenant
against the Captain"
1t had escaped the venerable gentle
man that in 1852, Gen. Pierce was the
nominee against Gen. Scott, his superb
or officer in the Mexican war, and
reputed one of the first Captains of the
age, and was elected by an immense
majority.

ANOTHER OPINION FROM AN INDEPENDENT
STANDPOINT.
New York Herald. ]

Every intelligent politician has long seen
that the Presidential election hinges on the
vote OF New York. As Senator COnkling
stated in his speech to the Saratoga Con-
vention, and, more recently, in his speech IN
Brooklyn, the Democratic party needs only
torty-seyen electoral votes in addition I" the
one hundred and thirty-eght of the solid
South, and if New York goes Democratic
it will furnish thirty-hve of the needed
fortv-seven. The State of Indiana will
supply more than the other twelve. lndI-
ana Is a Democratic State, and II has fifteen
electoral votes New York and Indiana to-
gether, if both go Democratic, will add fifty
electoral votes to the one hundred and thirty
eight of the solid South, will make three
more than are necessary TO elect Democrat
borrow no truble about Tie recent Republf-
can victories in the other Northern States if
it can carry New York and retain its hold on
Indiana. But without New York it has no
possible chance. In military phrase, New
York is the key of the Presidential position.
The great question for the Democratic
party in its National Convention next
spring will be, What candidate has the
best chance of carrying New York ?
Indiana is so strongly Democratic as to be
pretty safe, and New York is doubtful
enough to stimulate the hopes and excite
the fears of the party throughout the
country. As its last chance is staked on
the possibility of carrying this State it will
be compelled to select its candidate and
frame its platform with reference to the
public opinion of New York. If it can
carry New York next year it will have
more than an even chance of electing the
President.
Who can carry New York, that's the
question, She has a statesman whose
escutcheon is as unsullied as Washing
toms, and who can sweep his State, but
would he permit himself to be nominal
ted? We mean Gov. SEYMOUR

A Democratic Senator, whose political

on the lesson of the elections and the polit-

in the Democratic nominations in Indiana
must be consulted equally with New York.
Mr.. Hendricks he regards as entirely out
of the question, since that gentleman has
so positively stated he will not again
accept the nomination for Vice President.
To put Mr.. Hendricks at the head of the
ticket. he said, would be "a slap the
face" to 8Ir. Tilden, forbidden alike by
honor and policy. The ticket of 1876 must
stand or fall as a unity. If it not re-
nominated, and he did not think it was the
strongest ticket that could be put up by
any means, then, in his opinion, either
Bayard or Hancock would be most likely to
head the ticket. He thought Hancock
would make the greater run of the two.
because, like most other men in his sphere
of life, he had nothing to explain and moth
ing to defend.

The Greenback Party-What it did
in the Late Elections.

The people who have been hoping for
deliverance through the instrumental
~ Of the Greenback party, from
the evils that Republican legislation in
the interest of the money power, has
inflicted upon the country, will have
their patience put to the test before
their expectations are realized Its
growth has not been promising. Here
in Mississippiit has obtained foothold
in halfdozen or more counties from the
Indifference and lukewarmness of the
Democrats, but in the State at large its
development has not been at all en-
cOuraging to its sponsors. And how is
it in other States? The Washington
Post presents the facts as follows:
Last year the Greenback party polled
1888 votes in Colorado; this year it lost
seventy-fve per cent. of these.
Last year in Connecticut it cast 1914
votes this year the party has not been
heard from there.
Last year in Iowa it fused with the Dem
ONA<AhS, anu OiAN wv pe'A IiNo CdoI
$4,000 votes, from which substracting the
$4,000 Democratic votes left the Greenback
strength at $4,000; this year, with the
total vote in the State increased $4,000, if
polled $4,000 votes only, which is equiva-
lent to a loss of 10 600 or 10000.
In Maine last year it polled Al 900 votes
in Maine this year it polled $4,000, gain
of 5000
No comparison can be had between the
votes of this party in Massachusetts in 1878
and 1879 on account of the Butler Demo
cratic vote being entirely mixed in with
the total vote that Gen. Butler received.
Last year in New York it polled $4,000
votes this year less than 10000.
Last year in Ohio it polled $4,000 votes !;
this year about II 900.
Last year in Pennsylvania it polled
81 900 votes this year some $4,000.
Last year in Wisconsin it polled 10000
votes; this year none at all.
The question is, what has become of
the Greenback party?
MCANLIFFE, the wife-murderer, at
Bridgeport, Connecticut, has been SEN
fenced to three years Imprisonment, and
to complete the severity of his punish
ment, he is required to pay fine of one
dollar. That's what it cost husband
to kill his wife in the very heart of

which records the verdict of the jury,
has an article of learned length and

II turns out that majority of the
colored voters in Virginia voted to ere

in pretended sympathy for the politi-
cal rights of the "man and brother" as
they have heretofore done.
