MIR. KEYS SUCCESSOR.

From Cincinnati SOURCES We learn
that the name OF the Hon. J. M.
TbornburRb, OF this city, has been
mentioned amorg 'hose available for
the seat In the cabinet made vacsnt
by the appointment Of Mr.. Key as
United States judge. We do not know
IL Col. Thornburgh desires the posi-
tion, or wheih her he would accept 1t il
offered him; but, II he does, We do know
that Mr.. Hayes could not make bet
ter selection. Col. Thornburgh is a
gentleman Of great ability, as all know
who have had any dealings or sc-
qusintance with him. He is strong,
unswervlpg republican, and always
las been, and is ane representative
of the best class of southern republi.
csus. He was colonel Of the fourth
Tennessee cavalry, during the late
war, and was as brave and gallant
q soldier as ever wore Uncle SANS
livery. He represented this coDgres.
sional district six years in congress,
with great credit to himself and bene-
Fl to his constituents, ani was com
te',ed to retire only on account of his
health, which was then very bad. He
has always been wheel horse OF the
republican party Of East Tennessee.
He has bat.l.d for IL at all times aud
has done more for its success than any
other man In IL. He has al ways been
ready, with his great abilities, TO mt.
It's foes. aud never YET has lie left
tho field until he wss victor.
His time and m 'ney have always
been ut the com MA / d Of his par y, . nj
as much credit is due him a, any Que
for ths organization snd agg'essiv'-
ness which It has puss 7s g, d hrie In
T.nnes-ee.
MIR. Keys retirement leaves the

m.nt. aud IL /. certaiuly only islice
that she shouldhaVe one represeu,ativt.
Mr.. Ha, es has several times Indicated
that thr n an " no RI ce. ded Mr.. Key
should be u southern III an, in is Ell so
oftrn tia il 10 almost IA the nature of
lrbmi-e aud suutbern republicans
are expecting him to give them this
vacant seat. Ii this is 10 be n govern.
ment of the whole people amt not r
the states who p"ssess republican ms-
] prities, this suould be- given to II Q
south. This being so, no s'ate nth
of Mason and ID xon's liue can give
more reasons WY The honor should
be hers, aud no sec ion more lha"
East Tennessee. Her loy all
~ and devoti, n to the nation
and the republican party, are known
to every intelligent man Ia the whole
o,uutry, and IL 10 hot necessary that
we should dwell on them. Tue So fer
ings and woes IF her people during
those four dreadful years OF intern ecine
war have passed info proveIb. aud
no family within her bnundaIies dared
more or suffered more than the Thorn
burghs. If Mr.. Hays would popu
larize and strepg hen his admiDis ra
tiuu among our "true blue" p,tilo 8
be coufd not do It more successfully
than by elevating Cot rbornburgh To-
this pusition, for which talents and
