Attempts At 1slackma1l1ne.

Peter Ballou, a rather suspicious look
ing individual, came IN from the exten-
sion last week and commenced imbibing
rather freely. Sunday night he became
so intoxicated that he couldn't navigate
and, being acquainted with Mr. E. F. Pot
ter, went into Joe Hare's place and sat
down. remaining there all night The
next day he came back again and said he
was broke and wanted a stake. Mr.. Pot
ter knew him of old and refused te give
him any, whereupon he attempted t"
swear out warrant for Potte1's arrest,
claiming that he had robbed him Of about
$40 1t being necessary to have witness
es, Ballou proceeded to Ft. Lincoln and
bribed two soldiers to testify that they
saw Potter take the money. When upon
the witness stand, however, the soldiers
wilted and didn't even know Mr.. Potter
or where Joe Hare's saloon was located.
The whole business was caused by per
sonal spite Of two years standing. Bal
lou has tried several such blackmailing
schemes and the next one he attempts
will be one too many.

The Sectional issue,

The objection that it would not do to
nominate Gen. Hancock against Gen.
Grant because the subordinate could not
make a successful race against his SUI
perior officer, has neither force nor
sense. inaSmuch as both would be the
representatives of ideas and principles.
But if the objection ever had any force
it has lost it with the defeat Of Gen
Grant The Republicans, however, have
nominated a Union soldier, and they
will make the election turn upon the
sectional issue, which, if they succeed
in doing, would give them the advan-
tage. Garfield was Union soldier, and
on the sectional issue is a stalwart of the
bloody shirt order. If the Democracy
should nominate candidate with an an
fi-war record, they will perform precise
~ the part prescribed for them in the
Republican programme. In other words,
they will play into the hands of their
adversaries. As the South will be the
greatest sufferer if such a catastrophe
should ensue, she should be cautious to
avoid the trap. The Radical tactics of
solid South--of Union against rebellion
of the old flag against the Confederate
ensign-will avail them nothing, and the
bloody shirt will be flung to the breeze
in vain fGen. Hancock is nominated by
the DemocFats or even private in the
Union army like Samuel j. Randall. or
a war Governor like HOraio Seymour.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1880-06-16
S. J. Randall,

If it be true that, failing to secure the
nomination Of their favorite, s J. Til
den, the Democracy of New York
should indicate preference for Samuel
J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, the Con
vention might well afford to put him
through with whoop. He stood faith
full among the taithless, in the darkest
hours, and has never wavered. He
ought to be especially acceptable TO the
South. He was her friend when she
was weak and defenceless, and when it
cost Northern representative no little
to resist the vindictive policy Of the
Republican party.

A Slice of Humble Pie for Southern
Republicans.

In the Chicago Convention there were
Southern Republicans (ofiee holders)
who were secessionists before the war.
and claim that in joining the RepubIi-
can party after participating in the war
on the Southern side, that they have
not sacrificed their consistency, nor ad-
mitted they were wrong, nor eaten dirt
in any way. We would ike to know
how they felt when Gen. Garfield in his
speech before the Convention, laid down
the following as the only condition on
which they could be admitted to fellow
ship in the Union, and receive the
olive branch ofpeace and the blessings
and honors Of the Republic, according
to the Republican dispensation
The Republican parry offers to our brethren
Of the South the olive branch o. peace and in
vites them 20 renewed brotherhood on this
suprem condition; Tina e. shall he admitted
forever aui '5t ever more that in the war for
the Union wc were right aud they were

The Right Spirit.

SENATOR Bayard is reported to have
recently said that IF Gov Seymour
would take the nomination he (Bayard)
would not be a candidate, as he regards
-'Gov. Seymour's personal strength in
New York. New Jersey and Connect
''cut as all that is necessary to carry
''these States for the Democrats and in
''sure them the Presidency" There Is
sense in the suggestion whether Mr.. Bay
ard made it or not; and if he will act upon
it and forego his aspirations for the pres
ent term in the interest of the common
cause, he will establish a claim to favor
able consideration four years hence when
sectional issues under the benignant adj
ministration Of Horatio Seymour will
have been etfeetuallv buried.

Senator Mcdonald.

This able Senator from Indiana spoke
on the 18th, in favor of the resolution
BUSTING Kellogg, the usurper from the
place to which the Louisiana LegisIa-
ture elected Judge Spofford He argued
that there was no quorum in the Pack
ard Legislature when it claimed to elect
Kellogg; that the Nichols Legislature.
which elected Spoford, was the legal
body; the precedents were against the
application of the doctrine of res Gdjaodi-
cata to the action of the Senate; that
the Senate under the constitution, has
plenary power to try its own organiza-
ton, and that, while right should not
be reversed, wrong decision should
not be allowed to stand
This reminds US that if the Cincin-
natl Convention does not assign the
first place on the ticket to Indiana, it
could not confer the honor of the second
place upon better man than Senator
Mcdonald,

The New York World.

The public can not fail to have discov-
cred that this paper which has been throw
ing fire-brands into the Democratic or
ganization for months past, has presumed
to take the Southern Democracy in its
keeping. 1t has leaked out that the
World is owned by three Republicans
who belong to the money ring, Tom.
Scott, the Railroad king, O. w Childs
of the Philadelphia Ledger, and Drexel,
the rich Philadelphia banker. It will
be remembered that in 1868, just on the
eve of the Presidential election, the
World betrayed the Democracy by strik-
ing the colors of their nominee.

IN Michigan, as well as in Maine, it is pro-
bable that there Will be combination Of Demo-
Gratis and Green hackers on the electoral ticket
for the purpose of defeating the Republican
candidate for President. In 1873 the Demo-
Gratis and Greenbackers were in a majority in
that State of 26536 over the Republicans. so
rving Michigan in November. ii is said that
the Eusionists are almost certain Of carrying
their electoral ticket in Maine. if the favorite
son of that State, James G. Blaine, is not The
Republican standard-bearer.-New Orleans
Democrat.
And it 50 happens that Mr., Blaine is
not the nominee OF the Republican par
ty. The Cincinnati Convention will act
wisely if it will make such nomination
as will not repel the support Of the
Greenbackers, not only IN Maine, but
in other States.

General Hancock.

Our friend OF the Mercury IS mistaken
in SAYING that the Hancock boom has
weakened Hancock has no literary
bureau. nor saIaried officials 10 write
him up His strength is not in the
noise % the cla4uers. 1t IS deep down
in the conviction Of the masses. that the
soldier who, when the passions Of the
war were still surging, and the spirit of
military encroachment upon the rights
and conscienceS OF down-trodden peo-
pie, was rife in the land, dared 70 pro-
claim that they were free-born Ameri-
cans, and We're entitled to selfgovern-
ment with all its essential conditions,
is the man for the crisis. If other duties
have prevented him from being an ac-
tive participant in civil affairs during
these trying times Of Republican
misrule- he has the advantage of
having made no record in public life
upon the currency, and public improve
ments Of NATIONAL concern, and especial
" Southern concern, which could be
brought up in Judgment against him
and his party, if he should be chosen
the standard-bcarer. His administra-
ton of Louisiana and Texas affairs, has
shown his capacity as 4 statesman, and
that he is thoroughly imbued with the
principles Of Jefiersonian Democracy.
We believe it is generally conceded that
if the people elect him to the office he
will hold it. He is that manner of
man
