The SouTH kENTUCKIAN does not
propose 10 set itself up in opposition
10 the law IN regard to colored jurora.
We regret that things have come to
such pass, but the law allows them
the privilege of sitting upon juries
aud we see no good reason why they
should not be allowed to do go if they
are properly qualified. There are
some colored men who have educa.
lions mud these should be chosen TO-
representatives, race upon juries. We
believe there ought to be an educa-
ltonal and intellectual standard OF
qualification for jurors, irrespectiveof
color.
The opening of the Public Schools
last week was very Satisfactory TO
both teachers and patrons. About
1915 pupils malriculated during the
week and still others will start the
week. There is no donbt that the
number will reach 400 by the first Of
March and if the schools are conduct
ed as we'll as we have every reason
to believe they will be, there viii be
al least GOO at the beginning Of the
next session. Z Prof. Dietrich is the
right man in the right place, and un-
der his care the schools are bound to
be a success. The whole faculty 80

GRANT-C0NKLlNG.

Grant and Conkling have been PLAYING
into each others hands for Il long time.
The bond between them has been and is,
pauperism and place hunting on the part
Of Grant, and personal vanity on the
part of Conkling. Grant has kept Conk-
ling in his train by feeding him with the
most fulsome aduation. During the
campaign, when they were on the stump
together, after Grant had finished his
little speech, he introduced Conkling to
the audicnce-at one time in these words:
Now, gentlemen, know you will hear
so much more than can say on this
question, and hear it so much better said.
that | will say no more, but will intro
duce as the next speaker, your eminent
townsman and statesman, Senator Conk-
ling"
AT another meeting, Grant said: ''Now,
gentlemen, | will introduce to you gen
tleman who can give 329 reasons why
the Republican party should be success
full in the coming election. That gentle
man is the Hon. Roscoe Conkling."
Tremendous applause.
And to the Rev. c. II. Fowler he
said, if Fowler can be believed: II re-
gard him, (Conkling), as the greatest
mind in public life, or that has been in
public life since the beginning of the
government
On that sort of meat Grant fed Conk-
ling, and fooled him to the top of his
bent, and Conkling got up such pro
grammes as the following;
NEW YoBK, November lG-At a meeting ol the RE-
publican Central Committee, the following was sub
mtted and referred 10 the committee on resolutions:
"Resolyed, That In The opinion OF this Committee,
steps should be taken by Our representatives. In

ted states as 10 provide that the Presidents and
Wee Presidents Oh their retirement iro ogice shall
be admitted 10 NE membership OF the senae'
And thus he played on the weakness
of Grant. And now both have come to
an untimely end Grants letter has be-
trayed both himself and Conkling, and
their reign is over, Gone to meet Cor

WHERE Is BRADY?

What has become Of Thomas ]. Brady,
late second assistant postmaster general?
His voice has not been heard of late,
clamoring for vindication. An excel
lent opportunity was afforded him to
prove his integrity, by Mr.. a. NJ Glib
son, formerly the Washington cores
pondent of the New York SIN, who pub
lshed the following very vigorous card
not long since;
"Thomas j. Brady is a thief and cowardy liar
invite his attention to the fact that my language is
unequiyocal and clearly actionabe.
"My residence Is Washington, d. c but VIII re-
rpond TO any invitation to try the iss OF fact there
or here, as he may elect"
Mr.. Gibson is Il man OF reputation and
is responsible, in a peouniary way, for
his words Brady evidently prefers n
''vindication' from the post office depart
meut and that it does not seem likely
he will get. Mr.. Gibson is the one who
exposed the Star route frauds and has
more facts mt command than Brady cares
10 face.

WRETCnED NOMINATIONS.

President Garfield has been most I'M
made for important public Offices. That
of Stanley Mathews was perhaps the
worst,as he was to occupy high judicial
position and decide cases in which mil
lions of the peoples money were invol-
we'd, when he had already shown his un-
fitness to discharge the duties of his of
flee without prejudice 1t is generally
believed that his nomination was Il re-
ward for his services in the Great Fraud
whereby man not elected was estab-
lished in the White House. The highest
Judicial body in the country is disgraced
by his presence. The choice of Lew
Wallace as Minister to Turkey is not
in the least commendable, as he is simply
politician of n not very exalted type
and will reflect no credit on the country.
Judson Fitzpatrick is another disgraceful
nominee whose confirmation is an insult
TO the nation lie does not possess a
single qualification for his office, and is
nothing but an empty-headed and un-
scrupulous politician. The Philadelphia
Times says of him;
LAS man hts character Is soied by grave scan
dals, TO which 6iscreditable dubllclty has been
given by the man himself AS an Official he is inca
pable, ignorant sud uutrustworthy He is notori-
ously not to be trusted in any relation in life, and
ndisputabIy not the material to select for the oner
GUS and delicate duties of Minister to power like
Chill, which will soon be Gsputing with this coun-
try the control OF the Southern Isthmus. Further
more his dismissal from his post at Chill was well
coined by the government OF that Republic In m an
ner that makes his re-appoiutment nothing less
than an outrage upon the Chilians.'
