breast Assuredly possession of the
chief magistracy, to which he was
elected, is not an over-weening de-
sire Of his heart. He is ready to give
place to, and will willingly, literally
and heartily support whomsoever the
party may select as its standard-bear-
er, and he has not consulted his wish
es and Withdrawn himself from a po-
sition which is most irksome to
him, solely because he has not
been able to see that his retirement
would contribute anything to the
development of what is best to be
done, or TO the operation of harmoni-
Gus influences with the party he loves
so we'll and has served SO long. That
party most fix his relation to il. 1t
must not consider his person at all
that is nothing-and he charges his
friends everywhere to abstain from
everything which may be construed
into dictation. He would have no
delegate to Cincinnati instructed to
vote for him. Delegates should be
left free to decide how they shall vote
after they get there; and, whatever
the result may be, he shall be content,
conscious of having, from first to last,
done his whole duty by his country
and his party.
This is candid; it is plain and easily
understood. We admire candor even
in John Sherman, who said that he
was not at home to mend his fences,
but to announce himself candidate
for the presidency. Mr.. Tilden had
no particular business out west, so
Mr.. Watterson went to see him, and
he said, though not in so many words:
"Mr. WatterSon, please tell the noble
Kentuckians who have stood by me as
you have that l am deeply grateful,
that l am a candidate again, and hope
to be nominated and elected" This
is a plain statement Of the case, and
Mr.. Watterson has placed it in a
strong and plausible light.

opinion as to the manner in which he
managed, or rather misnanaged, the
affairs of the Office he held, but he
has had the full benefit of the law, to
which every citizen is entitled. No
man is presumed to be guilty before

cede conviction. The indictments
were premature, the supreme court

discharge followed. Judge Anderson

away a great deal Of money belonging
to widows and orphans, and when
about to go on trial had to take the
pauper's oath. This is a sad fate for
one once SO honored and useful a

vision of the law, and stringency
that will render itimpossible for ad-
ministrators to make such blunders,
and bring so much want and misery
upon helpless widows and orphans.

Don CamerOn's Trip.
special to the COurior-JOurnal.l

Special TO the Courier-JOurnal.
WASHINGTON, May 16.--It is now
possible to give an authentic account
Of the reasons that induced Don Cam
eron to make his recent political visit
to Philadelphis, and to explain the
results Of the visit and its probable
effect upon the proceedings of the
Chicago convention. Don Cameron
was called to Philadelphia by the
Philadelphia delegates to the Chicago
convention, who are opposed to Grant.
There were several conferences of
these delegates before it was decided
to send for Cameron, and several mes
sages were sent to him before he
went. At these conferences it was
agreed by all the Philadelphia city
delegation, with the possible excep-
tion ofone, that they should make a
proposition TO Dou Cameron substan-
TALLY in this form and in this Ian
guage
1--WE are opposed to Grant; we wish
to proceed harmoniously and avoid any
trouble and not to embarrass you, but
we can not support Grant. We want
you to agree that if we will agree to
abide by the unit rule, that when the
delegation reaches Chicago a vote
shall be taken and the unit rule shall
be enforced in accordance with the
views then expressed by majority OF
the delegation. If these views are
against Grant, and Ior Blaine, then
the vote of the state shall be cast for
Blaine"
To this proposition it is believed
that all agreed except one, Phila-
delphia city delegate. and Don Cam
eron was called to Philadelphia to lis
ten to it. He went and heard their
story. He asked them what was the
matter2 They answered finally that
they were opposed to Grant, but, said
Cameron, you have been instructed
for Grant at Harrisburg, and for the
unit rule: what are you going to dc
about it?" Then the proposition
above outlined was made. Don Cam
eron listened attentively and took il
under advisement. 1t is not known
whether he accepted it, but there are
reasons to believe that some of his
friends have intimated that he would
accept it, and that upon this view the
kilograms are based which state that
| Don Cameron was entirely successful
in his visit to Philadelphia, and that
the delegation will work in harmony
with him.

Trouble Among the VVOPkingmen
---A Kick Against Kearney.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.--In the
workingmen's convention, this morn
ing, a real fight came up on the adop-
ton of the majority and minority
reports Of the committee on perma.
nent organization and order business,
the former providing for the election
Of a state central committee instead
of entrusting the management of
affairs to Kearney, president, as here
tofore, and the election of delegates to
the national greenback labor conven-
ton. The minority report provides
for the continuance of the old or
ganization Of the party and ignored
the question of electing delegates to
the national convention. After a hot
debate, the minorityreport was adopt
ed by q vote of eighty-one to twenty
four, and the convention adjourned
till tomorrow morning.

The action of the supreme court in
granting revisor against the Taxing
District as the successor of the old
city created only a temporary feeling
of alarm or surprise. It's exceedingly
questionable still whether the credi-
tors will soon find remedy. But it
was distinctly announced at the time
we asked the legislature for a repeal
of the charter, that we only
desired to get rid of an
Objectionable form of government,
and beyond the reach of mandamus.
We asked for a breathing spell, not
for a full release from our debts. A
subsequent act was passed, under
which commission was appointed to
ascertain what we could and ought to
pay, and what kind of a compromise
could be made. We would like to
hear from that commission. Mr.. Tom
Turley,we believe, is chairman. Mem
phis cannotafford to repudiate her debt
Il she could. The time Is coming
when we must face this question, Let
us take the initiative, and not wait
for the creditors to remind us Of the
.debt. The sanitary problem, We con-
slider virtually solved although it will
take three or four years to pave all
the principal streets, and make
other necessary improvements. The
way we are going on Memphis
will inot only be a healthy
place, but beautiful and attractive
city in few years. The money col
lected being expended here and kept
in circulation, it is not heavy drain
upon the community. 1t flows back
into the hands of the taxpayers. The
next question that confronts us is the
old debt. We have little to show fol
it, but that is our fault. Experience is I
dear schoolmaster. We have learned
something on a credit however. Let u
compromise the debt, if possible, sa.
az 335 cents on the dollar, at a lov
rate of interest, shoulder the pay
ment of the semi-annual interest, ant
20 ahead. In this way we will bes
answer the charge which has beel
repeated a thousand times, that W
are repudiators, and at the same tim
assert our manhood and preserve ou
honor.
