THE PREsIDENCY-JUsTIFYING MURDER.

THE PRESIDENCY-JUSTIF MURDER.
SENATOR BLAINE NOT ENGAGING IN Personal
CANvAss-THE KEMPER COUNTY MASSACRE DE-
PENDED BY MISSISSIPPI DEMOCRATs-HOw TO
RAISE SORGHUM PROFITABLY
In reply TO a request from friend of Secre-
tary Sherman that lie should make no efforts
to secure delegates for himself in Ohio, Senator
Blaine is understood to have said that he had
exerted no personal influence in that or in any
other State, and that he should continue to
pursue the same course, leaving the question
of his candidacy in the hands of his friends.
Mississippi editors attempt to justify the
Kempcr County massacre, and express the hope
that the murderers will not be punished. DR..
Collier, of the Department of Agriculture,
gives the results of cXpermnts with different
kinds of sorghum

You know that the Grant men do not intend to co
into the contest unless they can carry the nomna-
Aud Mr. Blaine's friends expect to secure the
delegation from Illinois What do you think about
tbatW
'AIl the Illinois Republican politicians whom
talk with tell me that Grant delegation Will be
sent to Chicago from that State. Illinois Is now me
pivotal State. If Grant loses it he Will
be put substantially out Of the the race Hi;
nomination almost certain. 1t is because fear
that he will get Illinois, either by his popularity
with the Republican voters through the operation
Of State pride, or by means similar to those when
were used TO secure the New-IOrk and Pennsylvanla
delegations that | lock upon the present political
situation as SO critical for the Republican party"
But" intcrposcd the correspondent of InE RIB,
UNE, "cOncedlng Illinois TO General Grant, II IS stlll
impossible to count up enough votes tonominate MN
on the first ballot; and even his warines' r'ehus;
/ believe do not pretend that he succecd at all
unless he carry the Convention on the inst roi-
call"
That is true enough" was the reply; and yet
it does not follow that he must have majority OF
the Convention pledged to him before the delegates
begin TO gather at Chicago. If limos
elects Grant delegates You will see the other
States rapidly wheeling into line. | suppose that
Secretary Sherman will secure more DELEGATES from
the South than General Grant viii, and yet you can
not expect them to stand by him after 1t becomes
apparent that he cannot be nominated; ana when
tins break takes place will these Southern votes be
most likely to go To Grant or Is ane! II the break
happens before the Convention meets, should say
the Southern States would more naturally gravltate
toward third term.
PLEASE understand that | am not discouraged.
only sav that this thrd-teIm movement is very
formidable one; and it Will not do Tor ns
who hope TO defeat it to underesti-
mate it. Ii has sometimes been SAID that
# Mr.. Blaine shonld be nominated at Chicago he
would receive only a lukewarm support from VT.
COnklng and the Republican machine III Ncw-fork.
and that he could not hope therefore, to carry New
York against any candidate on whom the Dcmoc-
racv would he united. Reports of THIS
kind do grave injustice 10 Senator COnkling. IL
may be SAID on the most excellent authority that
if Mr. Blaine had been nominated ut Cincinnati IN
1876, the Senator from New-York would have done
everything in his power to have given linn the vote
of that State, and that he even instructed Mr. Cor
nell in case Mr.. Blame should he nominated, 10
move on behalf of the New-YOrk delegation
that his choice he made unanimous.
So now there is nothing in the
personal relations between Senators Conkling and
Blaine thar would prevent the former from sup
porting the latter, if lac is the nominee of The Con-
yentOn." T.. L. W.

Uphill Work.

Those Radical organs that uttered the
truth in 1873, when the Credit Mobilier
frauds were being debated and invest.
gated in Congress, are in an awful stu.
alton now when one of those "soiled
doves" is running for President. Here
are few specimen bricks from the
Philadelphia Bulletin, n rampan / Garfield
organ now. In February 1873, the edi.
tor said:
"Supposing that the acceptance of the
bribes did not cover the members with
dishonor, the perjury that was commit.
ted surely did, and for this alone the
criminals should be expelled. It's use.
less and foolish to attempt to dodge this
issue. The Nation regards it as of the
highest Importance, and if the House
overlooks an offence which the laws
punish with imprisonment in the peni.
tentiary, it will deserve the scorn and
contempt of every honest man.
No one can be satisfied with the re.
port of the Credit Mobilier Committee.
Very properly it convicts Cakes Ames
of bribing various members of Congress,
but there could be no bribery unless
some members were bribed, and the
Committee pretends that such was not
the case for it fails to condemn the
various parties who had negotiations
with Ames for stock of the Credit Mo.
bilier of the U. z. Il. II. Co. The pub.
lie will receive with faith the state
ments of the Committee in regard to
the various members, for those state
ments show that Mr.. Dawes, Mr.. Scho.
field, Mr.. Bingham. Mr.. William d.
Kelley and Mr.. Garfield were all engag.
ed in negotiations with Ames. The
attempt TO excuse them by declaring
that they had no knowledge that they
were doing anything disreputable is very
lame. No one believes that these men,
experienced in all the tricks Of the lob.
by, were of natures SO childlike and
simple as not to fully understand what
they were about. This is especially the
case with those th..t received loans OF
money from Ames, or certificates of
stock. or dividends or shares for which
they had never paid dollar in cash"
".Supposing that TIC acceptance Of tie
JriJcs did not coUer the members Of Congress
cih dishonor, THE PERJURY THAT
WAS COMMITTED SURELY DID,
AND FOR THIS ALONE THE GRIM.
INALS SHOULD BE EXPELLED"
