The translation to the Senate OF Mr.. Conger,
Of Michigan, deprives the republicans in the
House OF their abest aud safest leader. A
thoroughgong partisan, alert and eager in the
cause, his reputation as man and legislator
is that of the purest Conger's name is open
to no reproach; no stain Of jobbery or trickery
attaches to him. and this, no doubt, is the Sc
cret of his power among his associates. We
observe that the democratic newspapers gen
orally described Mr.. Conger as a man OF acrid
temper. but nothing could be further from the
truth. He is one OF the most genial of men,
and his humor is simply OVERLOOKING. No
gentleman ever attained his prominence in the
House, compelled as such person ls to go
about stopping everytody's schemes and tramp
ling eyerybody's toes. who had more devoted
friends than this acrd representative from
Michigan. lie Is savage enough in fighting
democrats as democrats, or thieves as thieves !;
but off his Congressional legs, he is as full Of
human kindness, fun, and anecdote as Bob In
gersoll himseli.-Chicago Tribune.

At last there has been q conviction for bal
lot-box stuffing IN the South. Judge T. j
Mackey, OF South Carolina, who has been Rad
ical and Bourbon, IN fact everything by turns
and nothing long, and who enjoys the distinc-
ton OF talking more and saying less than any
other man in bis section, was the presiding Jus
tce. The prisoner, as it is hardly necessary to
state, was black man and republican; no
representative Of the superior race" could
have been found guilty OF such crime in such
court. In passing sentence the eloquent
other things lie SAID with great emphasis ::
You have been tried by an impartial jury Of
your countrymen, and found guilty OF having
knowingly and fraudulently deposited double
ballot at the general election held last Novem-
Der. This il grave offense, tor which / might
lawfully sentence you to pay a fine Of $500,
and to be imprisoned for term of two years
at hard labor in the Penitentiary." Further on
the Judge used the following impressive Ian
guage: " The ballot-box is sacred and the law
demands that its sanctity should be maintained
inviolate." In conclusion, and in imposing up
on the negro the nominal fine of 81, he said !:
The Law in this regard, however, would be
better satisfied If the first sacrifice upon ITS al
tar were not humble negro" II the learned
Magistrate, says the New York Times, was
really so much impressed by this last fact as
his words imply, it is pity that he did not long
before this lend his influence to secure the in
dictment Of the thousands of mex of his own
color and politics who have VIGOROUSLY and by
the most outrageous frauds upon the ballot
box, crushed the will of the great majority of
the South Carolina people. His excuse for this
failure cannot be lack OF knowledge. Indeed,
there are few men in the South or elsewhere
who have had 80 good an opportunity to know
all about democratic raud and false voting as
has this same Judge, famliarly known as Tom
Mackey.-Chlcago Tribune.

At meeting OF the State Press Association
in Lansing last week, a motion was unanimous
,iy adopted requesting the legislature to repeal
act 1872 OF the Session Laws OF 1879, entitled
An Act to provide punishment for Libel and
SANDER" In relation to which the Lansing
Republican says:
This act has been used as an instrument OF
oppression, IN courts held by justices OF the
peace, and is an infringement upon that free
dom OF the press which is the strongest safe
guard OF "agoverument OF the people, by the
people, for the people," Let there be law
defining the offense OF libel, and guarding the
lawful or proper actions or private citizens
from licentious attack, while at the same time
subiecting public officers or candidates to just
criticism, but not encouraging frivolous law"
suits against newspapers. The press assoca-
ton will offer bill upon libel for the consId

six per cent. bonds, and replace them with
four per cents. From these and kindred rea
sons We believe the time has arrived when the
Legislature Of the State should fix the legal rate
OF interest. at such sum as the best business
interests Of the State demand, at . rate not
to exceed seven per cent. The era OF high
interest is past. Many Of our farmers are get
ting out OF debt, and with one or two more as
prosperous years as the past have been, will
have paid what they now owe. these men
will perhaps borrow enough to build new
houses on their farms, or pu. up larger and
more convenient barns, or to improve their
stock. IL money can be had on convenient time,
at reasonable rates Of interest, other branches
OF business will spring up. Manufactures
will be built, il money can be borrowed at .
rate OF interest sufficiently low to warrant
judlcious investment. The amount Of tie bust
ness OF the country and consequently the de-
mand for money will then greatly depend
on the rate OF interest which We have to pay"

The Missouri Legislature had presented to
its Senatorial caucus the Democratic name Of
J. o. Broadhead, who was Union man during
the war, and is justly regarded as one OF the
most honest, eloquent and able men west OF
the Mississippi river, but they again selected
CocSrell, an inferior man IN every respect, and
whose only merit is that he was Confederate
Brigader. Which is another proof that in
Missouri the greatest ability tiuged with loyalty

During the inflated war prices and until two
years ago when resumption Of specie payment
took place, the finances and credit OF this coun-
try were in an abnormal condition. During that
time we had deprecated currency, and under
the pretext OF covering fluctuations, higher
rate OF interest was e1acted than the actual
condition OF business warranted. During those
years OF unlimited credit and wild speculation,
when the greenback was not worth more than
70 cents on the dollar, bonds and mortgages,
whose principal and interest were payable in
currency, commanded high rate OF interest
aud, here at the west, the common rate OF IN
terest asked and obtained was ten, and IN
many instances higher rate, even than that

could those bonds and mortgage been made
payable, principal and interest in gold, might
have been contracted at per cent interest
or even less. During that speculative period
and era o, unlimited credit the west was COW
cred all over with mortgages calling for inter-
es at ten per cent. and when the panic Of 1873
came and swept out OF existence that purely
speculative paper, the mortgages on our farms
remained, and the people OF the western States
have been paying interest on those mortgages
ever since. 1t mas been q rich harvest for the
