1t is gratifying to note the fact that
the country delegation succeeded in
defeating the effort to take control of
the congressional nominations. and
also to pcremptorislly FIX the times OF
holding district conventions. The
adoption Of either Of these PROPOSE.
tons would have been N unwarran.
ted assumption Of authority. that
would have occasioned universal dis
satisfaction. In fact, il the State con.
vention had presumed to nominate .
candidate for this district it's action
would not have been repudiated but
utterly ignored a. though it had never
assumed such authority.

The discussion that has sprung up

ot this affair from 4 recent number Of tn,
Columbia Herald By request:
We have read with interest the fill scr,oup
puDli>lsed in the Congressional Record of th,
affair shs' has caused The people sal the pre-.
of the United States to point 10 with scorn IL
the bittere.t manner.
In January last during the absence Of Gen

porting 10 be . report Of the Com,n,see on
Foreign Adams BY M. King.
Mt. Acklen, who is q Congressman from
the SSwer portion Of this State, took the grave
and gres, liberty TO use Gen. King name
without his consent or authority.
As Gen. King returned 10 Congress. he was
Informed that Mr.. Acklen had Introduced the
paper "Clsims Against Nicaragua. M.
Kirg ~ once sent for report, and having pro.
cured il. went strsight with il in hand to Mr..
Acklen and asked him what il meant. He
replied that he supposed be bad consented to
the report. Mr. King said, "You could have
thought 10 such thing" Mr.. Acklen then
replied IL don't think I used the language,
and think there must be some mistake about
it,"
Mr.. Acklen being member Of the Com.
mitsee on Foreign AlIairs 10 the Fosty-6fth
Congress, Chains fos IN excuse fos the manner
in which he acted, thst the document
which he offered had been prepared while on
that Committee, got mixed with his other
papers ard was forwarded 10 the Clerk Of the
House TO be printed by mistake.
The matter was satisfactorily arranged
b-tween Gen. King and Acklen, by Ackien
acknowledging before the House Of Repre-.
seosanves, on The 2lst IT January, that he
had used Gen. Kings name without authority.
The Congress MOI being satisfied With the
explanation given BY Mr.. Ackiea and the

THE BANE OF POLITICS.

The passion, the hatred, the violence,
now prevalent between the two great fac
tons of the Republican party serve TO illus
ffate the intensity Of feeling that now and
then becomes supreme in American politics.
A similar manifestation was apparent in
the memorable conflict between the Demo.
cratic factions in 1860. The spectacle thus
presented conveys lesson that should ar.
rest the attention of every young man
whose aspirations are fixed on political
fame and place. There is nothing IN il 10
enoble nor to elevate. The dominant in
fluence that sways the turbulent elements
now gathering at Chicago bears no rela-
tion to the country's veal. 1t is the offer.
ing OF INSCRIPTIONS ambition. 1t
aims to crafty mere love Of
power. 1t is the impuISlon OF greed
for the patronage of great government the
essential principles of which plry but little
part in the contest. 1t is this degradation
Of political strife that has driven, and is
driving, the best men from the public ser
vice. The struggle for Office costs more
than the Office can fairly pay, 1t costs the
