CREDIT ruins the MERCHANT, ruins
the farmer, aud ruins all classes and
conditions of men, and presents only
exceptional instances whee it Is of any
benefit, and yet the cou,try is taxed
and overrun with all manner of courts,
court houses, lawyers, ard swarms of
officers, to PorPetuate credit" in the
land. The system can be wiped out
in twinkle, and Why MT do it?
II you had no credit avs in Ken
lucky, how many courts would you
have? How many lawyers? How
many court houses? How much taxes
would the people save? They say the
poor man would have no protection.
and that the owner Of property could
obtain his labor and defy collection.
but that need not follow, No sane
man contemplates any such total ex
tinction as that Certain aud prompt"
is the key note.
CREDIT will always exist in CONNER
oial life, but why not hodge it in BY a
few plain simple rules, that the com
monest people can understand, and
which will positively secure the HON
est man his dues and prevent the dis
honest one from doing his neighbor
wrong.
Bigger or Trimble, from McCrack

TnE Legislator who can, on sound
principles, without injury to any class,
cheaper money in Kentucky, will per,
form great favor not only to the poor
man but to every class of people in the
State. The law, or system of laws,
which drives money from the State, as
at present, is not in the interest of the
poor man.
If every votor in Kentucky, would
resolve not to vote for a candidate who
reSorted to coarseuess and vulgarity,
1t would be better. The candidate
VINO thus seeks TO please a public, says
IN SO many words, 81 believe you are
all coarse and vulgar, and hence 1
talk SO. Purity of thought, kindness
OF ieeilnG and simplicity of manner,
are the evidences that proves the gem

other walks of life.

ACTION OF THE REPUBLICAN, Elk

The Republican Executive Commit
tee insession at Washington. yesterday,
elected Senator DON. CAMERON, Chair
man, in place OF ZAcH CHANDLER de
ceased.
This is regarded 50 victory for the
GRANT men as far as the situation has
developed. The majority OF the COM
nittee are for GRANT a. first choice, and
while CAMERON is understood 10 be an
open GRANT man, he is no less openly
pronounced in favor Of SHERMAN as his
second choice, and SHERMAN has favored
CAMERON more than any other, under
the belief that if GRANT is gotten out Of
the way, CAMERON would throw the IN
iuence Of his position, whatever 1t might
be, in favor of SHERMAN.
Ii isa matter of some surprise that
CAMERON has not been induced, for fam
ilv reasons, to help JOHN SHERNAS's lit
tie Presidential game, but blood is not
thicker than the bonds which hold the
CAMERON clan together in the steady
pursuit Of power and plumber they are
certain to have under GRANT. They
had such glorious pickings in the eight
wears of GRANTS reign that the memory
is dear 10 them. Besides CAMERON
knows that he dare not use his inHu-
ence to carry Pennsylvania against
GRANT.

A STATEMENT comes from Washing
ton that the Supreme Court will refuse
10 assume jurisdiction in regard to the
BUrLER-CHITTENDEN legal teader case,
on the ground that it is not boHa hde
suit between parties, but a made-up
case 10 obtain the decision of the Su-
preme Court on political questions not
honestly before it. This is undoubtedly
a correct statement, and there has been
no disguise of the fact the issue Is a
feigued one. The Supreme Court, as a
rule. avoids decisions on the merits or
constitutionality OF ease, when 1t can
be determined on points OF jurisdiction
or procedure. The supreme Judges
are furthermore reported rs believing
that as there have been two decisions
ON the validity Of the legal tender notes
Congress should not dispose Of the
question. All this is supposed TO make
i'm favor OF Mr.. BAYARD's joint resolu-
ton.
