Crooked Canadian Officials.

The ministry of the province of Quebec is
involved in a scandal of a most humiliating
character. Some time ago, when an opposition
member of the house asked the rate of interest
paid On a loan of $4,000 he was told by one
of the ministers that it was 5 per cent, that be-
ing the maximum rate paid by the predecessors
of the present government, It has since trans
pired that the loan was made at per cent, al
though the contract read 5per cent, the broker
who negotiated it paying the difference, on con-
dition that he should have the floating of a
$4,000. 900 loan to be made later. As the head
of the present ministry has been implicated in
questionable transactions heretofore, the de-
velopments in this case have caused great
deal of excitement.

From Union County.

MAYNAREvILLE, Sept, 28ih 1880.
Mr. EDITOR Union county is all
right. She weighed the democratic
party at the August election and found
them wanting. and gave them hint
of their deficiency by rel rblican ma
jorIty of near 800 votes. And in No
vember, from president down, the re-
publican ticket will prevail By larger
majority.
Our next bsenator, Mr.. L. Huddle-
ston, will not only carry the republi-
cans. but many democrats. We hope
Mr.. Henderson will console himself
with the fact that he is to be defeated
by man who has made success of
every business he has undertaken, and
that he could have been as his COM
petitor is, an orator, but for the rea.
son, that his farming and mercantile
and county official life has kept him
too busy to trifis with such things.
Mr.. Huddleson is very close think
er-he knows exactly what bis con-
stituents need and will attend thereto
promptly. We ask our friends in the
other counties to stand square. There
are some three or four lawyers now
stumping it against our farmer candi-
date, but the votes count, u OF speechee.

a Democratic Paper On Judge
Hawkins.

(From the Clarksville Tobacco Leaf)
This gentleman, the candidate of
the republican party, made speech
here last Saturday. While upon
many political questions we differ
with Mr.. Hawkins, we nevertheless
will be generous enough to say that
he is a fair opponent. Upon the
question of the state debt, for that
is the question of state politics, there
is no difference between us and Mr..
Hawkins. He is in favor or getting
the very best terms that can be got
upon honorable principles, and Of
making settlement of the debt up
on principles that will not shock the
moral tastes of all mankind. His
speech was powerful appeal to the
reason and Judgment of his hear
ers. He dealt in unvarnished truths
and discarded all demagogy. We
seldom listen to speeches from a po-
itical opponent that are SO satisfac'
tory and pleasing. Be he radical, OF
what not, his head is level and sound
on this particular issue.

A. Ferguson has drafted a permanent
lease of the Cincinnati Southern,
which will be submitted to the tTus-
lees at their monthly meeting next
Monday, October 4th. 1t will then be
made public and discussed, ss the
present lease was, before edoption by
the trustees, after which bids will be
received for the permanent lease of
the road under it, and when the con-
tract Is made the read will pass out Of
the hands of the trustees. He says
that it was the sense OF the trustees,
and is his own judgment, that the
matter, which is of great importance,
should have free and full eonsidera-
ton, and to this end action will be
postponed until after the excitement
attending the October elections ia over.
The Cincinnati Southern IS we'll and
kindly thought of by the railway
men and merchants of the east, and
the enterprise and good sense Of the
city ia building it is much praised.
He knew of no combination formed
to take the road, but supposed there
would be number OF bids after the
railroad men had time TO study the
terms of the lease.
