THE KANSAS coNyE >T1oN.

1t is to be hoped that the result of the
Kansas convention will be accepted by the
Republicans everywhere in kind and fra
ternal spirit. If it is not precisely as we
could wish, VIC have no reason to assume
that it does not represent the popular senti-
ment of the State as whole, for the repre-
sentRtion implies that majority Of the Re-
pablicans of that State prefer Mr.. BLAINE
as candidate, and we fully accord to them
the right to their preference. OF course the
Democrats have hoped that the result viii
enrage the friends of General GRANT and
lead to an irreconcilable rupture between
them and tile supporters OF BLAINE, but we
npprehend that they win be disappointed,
for the supporters of GRANT cOncede to the
Republicans of Kansas the same rights and
privileges that they claim for themselves in
New York, Pennsylvania and Texas-that
of enjoying their preference. The disposition
to send to Chicago contesting delegations
from New York and Pennsylvania is liable
to engendera corresponding feeling in Kan
sas, but, Us we view the case, there is no
more occasion for that in one instance than
in the other The only difference is
that in New York the delegates
were chosen by districts and in
structed to vote for GRANT, while in
| Kansas the delegates were selected by a
majority of the convention, and Tesolu-
ton was adopted declaring Mr.. BLAINE as
the choice of the Republicans of the State

been left TO the districts, more or less,
GRANT delegates would have been appoint
ed-most likely four of the ten would have
been of that stamp, rs the personnel of the
convention stood 40 for GRANT and 1Se
for BLAINE. The friends of the latter, how.
ever, showed no more mercy in Kansas
than did the GRANT men in Pennsylvania
They did not instruct, but they arbitrarily
ruled the GRANT men off the delegation al
together. This eclipses anything that wa
done either in New York or Pennsylvania
Our friends in Kansas made good fght
and were worsted and now they cannot af-
ford to emulate tho example of those in the
east, who are clamoring for contesting delega
tons under an exhibition Of sore heads ant
toes. We coincide with the Chicago Hter-
Ocean in the remark that b" the GRANT mer

sends BLAINE delegation to Chicago
Neither will they manufacture private
"advices to create the impression that al
"the BLAINE delegates are for GRANT
"Mr. BLAINE has won his first unqualified
victory in this campaign, and we credi
"him with the ten votes of Kansas, just n!

Anew York, frty-eight from Pennsylvania
and sixteen from Texas"

THE Chicago Tribune now charges the
Secretary of the Treasury with prevarica-
ton. This is a delicate way of telling q
man that he does not tell the truth. The
fight is over an alleged interview between
Mr.. MEDILL, of the Chicago Tribune, and
the Secretary of the Treasury, on the sub
ject of resumption, said to have taken place
in the Sccretary's Office some time in 1877
or 1878, the date not being specifically
fixed by the Secretary, but which is some
what specifically denied by the Tribune in
Mr.. MEDILL's behalf 1t says:
If Mr.. SHERMAN will call convention of
his witnesses and understrappers, and have
some general understanding us TO the time
and place where this wonderful interview
took place; if no will fix some precise date,
week, month, or season, on which lie is will
ing to stand then if tho thing be worth any
further notice, we may do so but If the Sec
rotary is TO change tho date, 10 alter his
former positive assertions, and preyarcate
whenever it is necessary, we do not propose to
follow him.
In the meantime, for his guide in selecting
n new date, we may state that the Tribune
In "the fall of 1877 placed its advocacy OF

ground that it would aid tho great National
desideratum Of specie payments viii Mr.
SHERMAN fix a new or precise date-one
which he will stick to

citizen of this city who has been detected
in this unmanly work, and who is hire
ling of The Secretary, as we are credibly in
formed. 1t is not manly" in the man
ayers Of the SHERMAN campaign in Missis-
sppi TO close the columns of the only
Republican journal at jackson, in that
State, against publication of the proceed
ings of Republican meeting for the sim
pie reason that the sentiment of the meet
ing was declared in favor of General
GRANT. These things nre not manly"
and we hope that'they have been done with
out the knowledge of Secretary SHERMAN.

ANOTHER OFFICIAL SCANDAL.

The Philadelphia Times INDUCES in the fol-
lowing very singular remarks:
It has been charged by the regular WASH
ington correspondent of u New York news.
papers that the leniency of the Postoffice De-
partment toward a notorious lottery company
was brought about by pecuniary consdera-
ton. The facts are these, in brief: The De-
partment ruled letters addressed to this com
pany out of the mails. The company went to law
about it and was beaten, whcreupon the De-
partment reversed its decision, and through
the public prints certified to the company's
legality and the integrity of its management
The charge is that the judicious placing of
$4,000 effected this surrender, and it is
claimed that the recipients Of the money are
known and that their names can be had, on
application to an eminent Southern lawyer,
employed to ferret out tho facts. The case
has an ugly look the charge is serious ono (;
the specifications are forthcoming. The mat
ter deserves attention, first of all, from Post
master-General Key. He cannot afford TO be
silent, although he has heretofore borne good
name In default of a satisfactory explana-
ton from him Congress is called upon to do
something. What member will undertake the
work of exposing the doings of the lottery
lobby which has obtained SO strong Il foothold
at the National Capital within the last six
months2
The Times fails to name the New York
newspaper whose correspondent makes this
ruthless assault upon the official integrity
of the Postmaster-G General, which is some.
what surprising. This is the first that we
had heard that the hea of the postal SER
vice was suspected of corrupt discharge
of his duty-though his action on this
question has been matter of some sur.

established by irefragable proof that Post
moster.General KEY has received even one
dollar, much less $4,000, to influence his
action in the lottery case. That the lottery
company has been bled to the sum named
and perhaps more, in this in stance VIC have
no doubt, but it has been by ring which
has been very oiiicious in handling General
BEAUREG ARD while here few weeks ngo-
in preparing his case for him and in making
him believe that they were engineering
him through his difficulties. They may
haye been instrumental in securing immu

we have no idea that they dared to ap
proach the Postmaster General. If it were
any part of our duty we might sugges

srEEoH or HoN. L. @. HoUK.

The speech of Representative HoUK, of
Tennessee, made in the House of Repre-
sentatives on last Saturday, is the first real
defense of Southern Union men and South
ern Republication that has been made in
Congress for many years. We invite men
of all parties to read this speech, as it not
only presents the claims of Southern Union
men and Republicans for y just considcra-
ton, but it gives a glttering synopsis of
the Democracy both North and South, and
pays just tribute to the loyal people of
the country. In saying this is the first real
defense of Southern Unionism made in
Congress for many years, we are not un-
mindful of the fact that Mr.. HoUK
has heretofore made one or two very
able speeches in defense of Republican
policy and principles, but this is
the first time he has had an opportunity
to make just the speech that was need ed,
and which he has now made. His position
on political assessments" and "civil.ser-
vice reform was bold, candid and fair,
while his handling of the mockery known
as competitive examinations in the Interior
Department was keen, clear and amusing.
His references to the "prince of political
humbugs, GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS,
and the great CARL" or "CARL the
GREAT" were well received and generally
Endorsed without regard to party. Judge
HoUK is a fine speaker, an able and ready
debater, possessing eloqucnce and logic, as
well us wit, humor aud sarcasm, all OF
J which elements were brought into use in
this speech. However, lie is modest, polite
and unassuming, never obtruding in debate
except when he has something to the point
And, withal, he is an attentive, hardwork-
ing member, and ever watchful Of the in
terest of his country and people. Not only
Southern Republicans, but the whole coun.
try should be proud Of this champion Of
correct principles and honest government

of debt created for the purpose of
paying conscript officers to hunt
them up at their peaceful homes and
force thar away from their families
to fight for a cause which they
hated. If they should have it to
pay they would regard it as most
Infamous outrage. Feeling this

should resist the payment of the

ACCORDING to the Chicago Iris
bune, the Burnside educational bill
is not very big thing after all. 1t
appropriates four per cent. interest
on the proceeds derived from the
sale Of public lands and from pat-
ents. This is put down at one
naillioa per annum, the interest
upon which would be $4,000. This
insignificant sum is to be paid over
to the schools. It will be quarter
of century before the amount to
be paid out would reach 81, 900, 900,
and then it would scarcely reach
four cents a head to each child of
school age. When the bill comes
before the house an attempt will be
made to so amend it as to give the
entire proceeds to the schools, in
stead Of the interest alone.

AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE
To visit Before the Holidays.

Christmas comes but once a year
and people take advantage oft. Even
the closest men can be induced often
to put their hands in their pockets
to buy something for a loved one.
For the next two days the streets
and stores will be crowded by young
and old, and no doubt all will get
their share of trade. We have
not for days past that the East
Tennessee Book House of Messrs.
W. & W. e. Williams has been a
favorite resort for crowds of our
citizens, and examining their stock of
holiday goods we are not in the least
surprised They have one of the
finest displays in their line they have
ever carried, and their customers
duly appreciate the enterprise. They
have very large line of Juvenile
Books suited for presents, and all
kinds of Handsome Books, Poetical
Works of every description and
style of binding, all varieties of
Books in Sets, Photograph and
Autograph Albums as fine as
they make them, beautiful Vel
vet Frames, Plaques Paint Boxes
and PANEL Pictures, Purses, and
Handkerchief Boxes, Papeteries from
the cheapest to the finest. A large
assortment of fine Family Bibles
and Church and Pocket Hymnals.
A large selection of fine Gold Pens
and Pencils can also be found there,
and some of the handsomest OF
Steel Engravings. In fact they have
a well selected stock of goods for
the holiday trade, and those on the
lookout for presents should not fail
to give them a call, and we can as.
sure them that they will be treated
well and get bargains.
