SUNDAY, MAY IL, 1879.

THE Democratic majority in the
Senate has at last placed their tor
pedo under the chair of Senator
Kellogg, and the explosion may be
daily expected. Actuated by no
sense of justice, these men are
simply bent upon increasing their
majority in that chamber. The
committee of investigation has been
appointed, and their report favora-
bic to Spoford is only question
of time. The clearest case of
bribery on the part of a Democrat
when placed in their hands would
Immediately become patriotism,
and he at once would become
"the chiefest among ten thou
sand and altogether lovely"
while on the other hand, a Republi-
can, it matters not how pure, once
before them, is dragged in the very
deepest slime possible.
1t has been the custom of our
lawmakers to not seat a minority
candidate, and it is admitted Spot
ford is one, but precedent, law, evil
denee, honor never govern Demo-
Gratis. Every one Oc the charges
in Spofford's memorial are punishaS
bic, by the laws of Louisiana, with
Imprisonment in the penitentiary,
and yet no steps were taken against
Mr.. Kellogg. This one fact, by
itself would be sufficient to place the
lie upon them.
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-05-11

IT seems to be generally under
stood by all persons who are in a
position to know, that President
Hayes will sign the new Democratic
Army bill which was Matched up as
a substitute for the one which met
with such a disastrous defeat a few
days ago. There is no doubt but
that the present measure is nearly
as bad as the former, and it can not
readily be seen upon what grounds
the President can sign it. 1t may
be that he desires to shorten the
extra session, with its extra ex-
pense; but then he ought to re-
member that neither himself or his
party had anything to do with max
ing it necessary. If it was merely
a matter of interference at the polls
it would be altogether a different
case, but it is not so. If it were,
then no objection would have been
made to Mr.. Conger's amendment,
proposing to repeal the law which
they wish to amend. This would
place the matter in the same condi-
ton that it was in the first seventy
years of our existence as a nation.
1t is not this. 1t is only part of
the Democratic programme to place
the laws in such a condition as to
allow them, by means of fraudulent
ballots and rife clubs, to control the
election of 1880. This is the reason
they are so eager for it, because
they know otherwise they are
ruined.

taken into private room and in
duced to take Eve trunks into the
Federal lines. These trunks CEN
tanned clothing which had been
thoroughly infected with smallpox
and yellow fever. He was also
given a Valise, infected the same
way, which he was to take to Mr..
Lincoln, as present. He was in
structed to take the clothing to the
place where the troops were the
thickest and the weather hottest.
On the 22nd of May Sanford
Conover testified that at one
time is was a project of Blackburn
to poison the Reservoir of New
York. It was objected that so
large an amount of poison could
not be collected without detection
and Blackburn proposed to go to
England to gather 1t.
This story, as we have said be-
fore, has been denied, but never in
such way as to carry any convic-
ton of its falsity. This is the kind
of man the Democratic party of
Kentucky chooses as it's standard
bearer, its candidate for the highest
Office in the gift of the people of
that Commonwealth. He will be
elected, too, for whoever has the
mystic word Candidate" upon his
breast is sure of election in that
State.

DIR LUKE BLACKBURN.

The man whose name heads this
article is the Democratic nominee
for Governor of Kentucky. He was
nominated on account of his record
in the yellow fever epidemic of last
year. In the report of the trial of
the conspirators to assassinate Pres
ident Lincoln may be found some
of his yellow fever experiences
which is not quite so savory as
that of last year. This is not a
new story, and he has attempted
several times to refute it, but with
such poor success that the people,
instead of being satisfied with it,
are using it as a reason why he
should not be elected.
This trial of which we speak
came off May Doth, 1865, and God
frey J. Hyams depOsed that he was
born in England, but had lived ten
years in this country. In 1868 he
met Blackburn and was by him
