CoNeREssMAN.-The Trumbull county
papers claim the privilege of furnishing a
candidate for filing the congressional va
cancy in this district, and in this connec-
ton they give the name of Judge E. B.
Taylor, of Warren, as their man Cor the po-
sition. We have never heard the ability and
many excellent qualities of the Judge spok-
en- Of but in commendation and praise.
There is, however, an idea abroad, that one
of the most fitting and important qualifca-
tions for Congressman, is a manly vigor
to stand up against the seductions and 'bane-
full evils of Washington society. The
question is a grave one and should be
weighed with considerate care by the
friends who are pushing the Judge for
this position. Are you satisfied that you are
doing the best thing for his welfare and
the highest credit of the district, or might
not success prove the worst evil to which
he could be exposed? It behooves us to
settle this question as the first step in the
program. A man that is carrying on a
struggle with his old propensitles, should
be sustained and encouraged in that lauda-
bic effort. He is not to be denied honora-
BILE preferment. to be sure, but in seeking
his highest interests and welfare. His
friends should be judicious, and their
steps we'll taken.

TRUMBULL,

Eds. Iel:-We hear Of several different
men spoken of to fill the vacancy caused
by the election of the Hon. Mr.. Garfield TO
the Senate. Now we as farmers think that
We should nave a man from our own ranks
-one who would have an interest in com
mon with us-having the greatest part of
the taxes to pay and being largely IN the
majority. Our representatives have gener-
ally been from the learned professions.
The late Congress was composed of 12O
bankers, SO lawyers, IA merchants, 13 man
ufacturers, z doctors, and mechanics.
Now is that just? Would any other class
of men who occupy the same position sub
nit to such representation, owning as they
do nearly all of the land under cultivation?
Decidedly, no. Are there none among US
who can represent our interests? Yes, We
have hundreds of farmers who have the
ability, honesty and sound Judgment need
ed for a representative. If we were to be-
lieve what the friends of the lawyers say
we would think that they were sent to
Washington to decide law questions for US.
That is not the case. We have Judges ap-
pointed for that purpose who ask no as
sistance from representatives. What we
want is good, wholesome legislation in the
interest of all their constituents. Now the
way such offices are usually filled is to haYe
some lawyer, or his friends, to announce his
name and 60 around electioneering, and all
the choice we have is to vote for hin or not
vote at all, there being no other candidate
in the field. Now if that is the only way
to get nomination, we as farmers will have
to adopt it, for we are bound to have can
didate in the field this time, and are going
to work for him., too. The friends Of the
lawyers say that if we send farmer he
will not have the influence that Mr.. Gar
field has. That is so, and do they think
any man in the district would have? It
took years Of hard study and experience to
gain the position he now occupies, and I
don't see why farmer should not gain the
same in time. Now these are some of the
reasons why we should have farmer, and
perhaps they win do for this time.

The opinion of the Supreme Court Of
Maine upon the questions submitted by
Fusionists legislature was reached on the
9th, and were adverse to the claims Of
the Fusionists, upon which that party
became very much depressed. Major
Smith, who stood at its head, said while
the previous opinion of the Judges was
based on the Republican statement, there
was room for reasonable doubt, but in
view of the fact that the Court had decid-
ed against them, on the fusion statement,
they could but gracefully submit. He had
got through playing Governor, and should
go home. Those views-the dispatch
says-wi1 be adopted by the better part
of the Fusionists, who will take their
seats in the other body. ingalls,, who is
a leading member of the Fusion House,
says he has always been in favor of
yielding to the Court.

Democratic Trick.
From the Leaders

From the Leader-2Sth.
Governor Foster has just discovered the
neat trick played by the Democrats in
their appointment of trustees for the
State benevolent institutions. Governor
Bishop so arranged his appointments
that the terms of those expiring during
Governor Fosters administration should
be those Of Republicans only; but that
the Democratic members should hold
over until 1882, 1888. 1884 and 1885, thus
making it impossible for the constitution
Of the boards to be changed without re-
organization.
If the Republicans are to bear the re-
sponsibility of the management of the
State institutions during the next two
years they should at least have a majority
of the members of each board of trustees.
DR.. Greene's bill provides for such action,
and if passed will leave three Republi-
cans and three Democrats on each board
Of trustees.

Senator Garfield announces himself IN
favor Of Secretary Sherman for the Presi-
dency. The reasons given-"I have no
doubt that decisive majority of our party
in Ohio favor the nomination Of John Sher-
man. He has earned this recognition at
their hands by twenty-five years of con-
spieous public service-a period which en-
braces nearly the whole life of the Repub-
lican party. he deserves the special recog-
milton of the nation for the great service
he has rendered in making the resumption
law a success, and placing the national f.
nances upon a better basis

The evil growing out Of the Maine cpl
sOde is not so much what was done in that
State as an example of what may be done
in others. There is scarcely a general
election held in any State in the Union
the returns of which are in strict accord
ance with the technical requirement of
the law. The country viii be exceeding
ly fortunate if the evil exmaple set in
Maine shall never be followed.

Secretary Schurz's favorite Indian policy
Of settling the red man on farm, is pro-
crossing. A bill has been introduced into
Congress authorizing the division OfIndian
reservations in seVeralty. The Piutes,
also some of the Utes, have agreed to have
their lands thus divided, They have also
expressed their willingness to live, by fam
lilies, on particular tracts. This is a real
advancement, since the persistent refusal
Of Indians to take up land in severalty has
heretofore been an insuperable obstacle in
the way Of ciYilizIng them

liamentary twist to get the House into a
committee Of the whole on the Presidents
message and Mr.. HOrr was given the floor.
It was quite an embarrassing position, for
Mr.. Herr was expected to be extremely
funny, and it isn't every man who can be
funny to order in cold blood. But those
who anticipated failure were disappoint-
ed, for Mr.. Horr's speech was uncommonly
good and the points he made we're thorugh-
ly appreciated, and Cox was about as
thoroughly used up man as any pretend
er ever was, with his own weapons.
