THE U. S. SENATORSHIP

The Philadelphia Times thinks that
Grow and Harry Oliver will present
strong claims before the next LegisIa-
ture for the U. S. Senatorship, and is
of the opinion that Gov. Hoyt will not
have such an easy time of it. The
Camerons will no doubt oppose Grow
because he Is not of their stripe. For
the reason that Hoyt is hand.in. glove
with the Camcrons thcy will do all
they can for the Governor. But know.
ing what we do concerning the coming
fight, we predict in advance that both
Grow and Oliver will be set aside in
the end for IIoyt. Quay has a mighty
following and his retainers will be

combination. 1t was fixed up two
years ago that Hoyt should succeed
Wallace if the Legislature continued
Republican, and while there was a good
deal said in favor of Grow in this city
where the Governor resides, it was
known thatevery candidate bereabouts

If these pledges had not
been given the men would not have
been nominated. State secrets have,
very naturally, been dropped here dur

Attorney General from time to time,

there was to be no opposition to Hoyt
among successful candidates. Mr..

subject, but those who understood mat. |

elsewhere, no difficulty can arise If

meet without Lieutenant Governor

Gratis have the advantage in coercing
the Republicans as the Republicans
must organize the Senate TO inaugurate
their Governor and elect a United

yield, and as the Republicans have
great possessions to attain by the or
ganization, while the Democrats have
nothing to gain thereby, the Republi-
cans must yield two or three unim.
portant places TO the Democrats, after
which the Republicans will sweep the
board. The same issue arose in Penn.
sylvania in 1S49, when the House
stood fifty Democrats and Wings.
The Wings had majority in the Senate
and on joint ballot, and they had to
organize the House within specified
period TO secure joint convention for
the election of United States Senator.
William +. Packer was the Democratic
candidate for Speaker and Henry S. |

sides polled their full vote for some

TAKES PRIDE IN IT.

If there is one thing more than
another.tbat Henry Watterson, of the
Louisville Courier, can do it is to write
beautiful things about the South, which
accounts for the fact that many South.
ern men take pride in him. His con.
iession that the South in many things
is no better than it ought to be, but in
many things much worse than it
should be, is not much of a confession
after al, but it is much more than the
North is willing to admit about itself
although just as pertinent. Our peo.
pie who are instructed through Radi.
cal newspapers to believe Pandora's 8
box was opened in the South, and
whatever Of wickedness stalks the
earth has a permanent residence in
that locality that the pure and clean
OF heart are to be found north of Mason
and Dixon's line, and only there in the
Republican party. watterson says:
"The young South are full Of ardor
and activity and promise. II wants
to get on, and, If it be let alone, it will
get on. The pretensc that it loves
murder for murders sake, and prefers
roast darkey on toast as a regular diet
is stupid and mean, but it has been,
and may yet be politically effective.
The notion that justice and grace, and
all thepubllc and private virtues which
adorn our race, are not valued and
illustrated in the South, is another
partisan hoax. Bat it, too, Is sedulously
promulgated by the Republican press.
When is II all TO end, and bowl Not,

THE ONO CONFLICT.

The Washington Post remarks Be-
fore Mr.. Hayes found himself in pos.
session of the stolen Presidency, the
State Of Ohio had secured great and
unusual prominence in the personnel Of
the general Government The two
highest life positions, General of the
Army andChiefJustice of the Supreme
Court, were owned, occupied and pos.
sessed by Ohio men, All the depart.
ments, civil and military, had their
full quota of men from that State. It
was noticed, too, that they held pay.
ing places. They had not looked up
positions where work was required,
but had settled down into sinecures
and offices whore duty was lightest
and pay heaviest
Since the advent of Mr.. Hayes, as in
cumbent OF the Presidential office, the
great industry of finding places for
Ohio men has been vigorously prose.
cuted. The Federal bench, the Army,
the diplomatic and consular service,
the Treasury, Interior, State, Postal
and other departments have been en-.
riched by large deposits of Ohio brain
and muscle. Old men have been put
into life positions, so as to make their
declining years comfortable at the
public cost. The Twenty-third Ohio
regiment, and most OF its widows, have
been provided for to the exclusion of
other regiments and widows. "As
proper men as ever trod upon meats
leather have been summarily hustled
out of office to make room for the
Ohio invasion. 1t has seemed as If
Mr. Hayes looked upon the Federal
Government as an appliance designed
to furnish positions for his fellow.citi.
zons of the Buckeye State. 1t might
be incidentally useful for other things.
but this was undoubtedly its great
primeval design, in his estimation.
Mr. Hayes is now about to go out of
the Executive office, and another Ohio
man is coming in. This fact creates
commotion. The grand army corps Of
Ohioans in office naturally want to
stay, but it happens that there are
other army corps in that State who
are hungering for the flesh pot of
Egypt as typifed by places at the
public crib. The Gins" are beseiging
Garfield to adopt them into his saving
grace, But if he turns gracious ear
to this petition, he will have no places
for his battalions Of friends, without
depriving other States OF the few
places not already taken from them to
meet the demands of Ohio greed
This struggle is now fairly under
way, but it will go on. 1t will wax
louder, and grow fercer. Its roar will
swell to a mighty diapason. Meantime,
those who have no immediate stake in |
the fight will watch it for its affluence
in amusement.

SCOTCH JUSTICE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PROCESSES
OF THAT AND OF ENGLISH.

lFrom the Albany Law Journal
a Scottish criminal trial is a model
OF fairness and deliberation. The ac.
cused is in good time served with a
very precise indictment, along with q
list of the witnesses to be used in eyi.
dence against him. At the trial the
Jurors are chosen by ballot, and each
are furnished with printed copy of
the indictment, with paper pen and
ink to write notes of evidence as il
proceeds. The trial begins by the
clerk of the Court reading the indict.
ment, by which means the exact ma
ture OF the accusation is openly and
clearly defined, and there is no need
fora heightened PREDATORY haranguc by
counsel for the prosecution. The in.
dictment being read, tho evidence is
at once proceeded with. Any one can
compare this precision with what oc.
ours, and is occasionally complained
OF, in England. A Scottish jury may
give a verdict of guilty, or not proven,
this last alternative being adopted
when the evidence is incomplete.
There is no such alternative in En-.
gland. In English criminal procedure
the jury consists of twelve men, who
must be unanimous in their verdict of
guilty or not guilty; and when not
being able to agree, after wrangling
together they are dismissed, thereby
occasioning now trial In Scotland
the thing is conducted more in accord.
ancc with human nature. The Jury
is composed of fifteen men, who, If not
unanimous, may decide by a majority.
such as eight to seven or possibly four.
teen to one, by which means a juror
with twisted notions, resolved on be.
ingsingular,as often happens, is unable
to thwart tho ends Of justice. The
decision by a majority is accepted with.
out demur. In the trial of civil cases
latitude is also allowed. The Jury
consists, as in England, of twelve men
but II they have been in consultation
Tor three hours, a majority OF nine is
sufficient Tor verdict If after nine
hours there be not majority of nine
the jury may be dismissed. These
scotch arrangements seem 10 be in all
respects more rational than the prac.
lice prevalent in England and ireland.
No one ever heard of miscarriage Of
us tice, civil Or criminal, in Scotland,
owing to decisions by majority. The

side pressure, attended by abuse, in.
flames all that is bad and impedes the
movement of that which is good. The
North wants the South to go too fast.
IL wants the South to 20 a gait not
natural to it. Ever since the war Il
has been knagging and harassing, and,
since this seoms to serve as smart
party expedient, it will continue just
so long as 1t prospors, no matter what
the South does and thus, as to tho Re-
publican party, the South has nothing
to expect,
ave think better OF the North than
the Republican party think of the
South, and, therefore, our advice to the
South has been and will continue to
be, to proceed as though there was no
Republican party. We have much to
learn. Let us learn il. We have much
TO unload. Let us toss it overheard.
We want an cntorprising and free sys-
TEN suited to our peculiar character,
situation and climate, and this must be
based upon justice, order, education
and law, State by State we should
set about perfecting such a system. 1t
will bring us wealth. No matter where
it carries us, it will be our own. But
our hope is that it will tighten our
burdens on the one hand and so i'm.

Mr.. SCION CHASE, the craziest of
crazy fiatists. Is bent on overcoming
the good that was about to be accom-
piished in Maine. The victory
achieved by the democrats and
greenbackers in the late election
over the common enemy, left it
possible and probable that the repub-
lican electoral ticket in that state
would be defeated in November.
The democrats and fige-sixths OF the
rsg.bsby nurses want t. unite and go
in to win, holding that hal! loaf is
better than no bread, and that each
party is interested in the defeat OF
the radicals. But Chase, with the
stubborn one-sixth. "bolts," and thus
proposes to beat his own party, as
well IS the democrats, and make
an easy victory ior the republi'
cans. It makes no differences
how crazy a man may be, be will
find supporters and those who be-
lieve in him and his insane ideas.
Mr.. Chase will command but small
following, but small as it is 1t will bs
large enough to turn the scale in
favor of the enemy. Had he, like
sane man, accepted the fusion propo-
sition and gone with his party, it is
morally certain that Names electoral
votes would not have been counted
for Garfsld. Now it is absolutely
sure that Garfield will get them.
Scion Chase ia responsible for this,
just as John Kelly was responsible for
the defes! OF bis party in New York
last year. Such men ought not to be
permitted to join any party. They
are more dangerous than an open
enemy.

make it appear that Davis had been

doubling republicans elsewhere, but
tae truth has inally come out, and it
