Republican Inconsistency.

When General Hancock wrote a
brief note last September to Cover.
nor Plaisted, of Maine, congratulate.
ing his old comrade in arms on his
election, it was commented ON by
every Republican newspaper in the
land, and they all with one accord
agreed that man who had the least
sympathy with Maine Greenbackers
could not be trusted by the business
interests of the country; and that
because Gen. Hancock tolerated a
party with such heretical financial
views as Gov. Plaisted protested,
that was reason sufficient for every
honest man in the nation to oppose
his election to the Presidency. But
how stands the matter now? Gen.
Malone with his doctrine of repudi-
alton, which is nothing more or less
than wholesale and unblushing rob-
berry and theft, is before the voters
of Virginia, asking them for their
suffrages. And We see every agency
of the Republican party, from the
Senate of the United States clean
down to the petty custom house
officer, is openly arrayed in bis favor.
Senator Frye, of Maine, has written
letter to help Malone, and gives
the weight of his influence in favor
of the wrong. The Malone candi-
date for Attorney General of Virgin
ia promises that as soon as the Old
Dominion has been put in a fair way
of rejecting her honest debts, Ma
homes hold on the Republican party
will be SO strong that he can and will
apply the principle of readjustment
to the national debt. This is what
Senator Frye and the Republican
party are supporting. And every
Republican newspaper either re-
spends, Amen! or is as dumb as an
oyster.

From the Morehouse Clarion.l

The New Orleans Times has been
interviewing number of lawyers to
find out their opinions in regard to
the present Judicial system of the
State, and their opinions went to
show that the objections to the sys-
tenn are widespread. The Times
thinks the system dead failure,
and, if we mistake not, wants new
constitution framed to remedy the
defects. But we are of the opinion
that if any changes are necessary
(and We do not doubt it) they can
be made by amendments and there
by avoid the trouble and expense of
Constitutional Convention.

a stop to the present unfortunate
credit system and practice on the
part of planters to pay enormous
profits to the merchants in which
transaction both parties fail.n

The Killing Of StonewaII Jackson.

From the Wilmington IN. co. star.l
Gen Lane of this city, no doubt
knows as much about the killing of
Gen. jackson as any man who was
in the army. He says emphatically
that the 18th Regiment N. G. Troops,
OF his Brigadge, Col. Purdie, did the
fatal shooting. Upon request, he
gave his account of the matter
through the Richmond Dispatch
That paper would do well to repub,
lish it. When Jackson, Hill and
others on horseback came galloping
towards Gen. Lanes brigade, then in
line of battle, they were hailed, and
the response 'sfriends" being given,
Major Barry afterwards Colonel,)
of this city, and Of the 18th North
Carolina, replied, "It's id lie;n
whereupon our men let drive with
fatal results. Gen. Lane says he was
just preparing to advance upon the
enemy, having received the order
from General jackson himself only
some 15 minutes before he was shot
down. He says Gen. Pender came
to him soon after the firing and said
jackson had been shot, and advised
him not to advance, but await fur
ther orders.

Constitutional Amendments.


From the Shreveport Standard
The unanimity with which the
press of the State has taken up the
subject of amending our present
bungled constitution shows how
general is the belief that amend
ments are imperatively needed. It
is now generally admitted that the
work of the convention was mis-
cradle failure. We do not allude
particularly to the botch-work the
convention made of the settlement of
the State debt. Even the members
themselves, who were instrumental
in connecting that piece of financial
cobblery, would hardly now like to
be reminded of their work, nor do
any of them expect either the courts
or the creditors to treat it with con-
sideration. Apart from this, every
days experience shows how ineffi-
cient are all the revenue clauses of
the constitution, together with the
feeble attempts of the Legislature to
put them in execution. Nobody
knows now how to collect the taxes
or how to compel people to pay
them. Men still snap their fingers
at the tax collector as they did un-
der the Radical regime, and seem to
consider the moral obligation to pay
taxes no higher than when they
knew they would go into the peck
cts of the Radical office-holders.-
The judiciary system exceeds in
puerility anything known to modern
jurisprudence, and justice is retard-
ed by the very means adopted for
expediting it. But to point out all
the defects in this eet.scented
document, would be to enumerate
all its provisions, article by article,
section by section, clause by clause.
It cannot stand much longer. The
people will not submit to it. The
only question is how to amend it,
The thought Of another convention
makes the people sick by its mere
momentary contemplation. We shall
probably be reduced to Legislative
amendments, as slim as the prospect
of getting proper ones from that
source appears to be. The meeting
Of the Legislature is not so very far
off. Between now and next May let
the members take counsel of their
friends and constituents and mature
amendments to be submitted to the
people. If they submit good ones
they will be adopted. If they sub.
nit bad ones they will be rejected,
and no harm will be done. At any
rate the State cannot be worsted by
the experiment.

Keep Out Of Office.
From the New York Herald

From the New York Herald
Thousands of men have their eyes
turned to New York. They are tired
of earning their living in customary
ways and yearn for the fleshpots of
Office. Of these thousands nine
tenths are doomed to disappoint-
ment; but, after all, is it not for their
goods Of all occupations Office
holding is the most precarious and
the least satisfactory. To be at the
mercy, at the whim or caprice of a
politician, himself the creature of
superior, is to be- in purgatory. But
few offices pay well. The work as a
rule is not hard, lazy habits are en-
gendered, assimilation and treach-
cry are apt to be developed, sturdy
independence is undertoned and un-
American ideas are sown in fallow
soil. To professional politicians the
life of an office-holder has charms.
10 men at the top Of the ladder
come power and influence; but to the
ordinary, dependent subordinate
there is wearing restlessness which
is burdened often with disappoint-
ment and is never free from uncer-
tainty and apprehension. Unless a
man gives an honest days work he
has no right to fair days pay, and
the fact is that quite one.half of the
office-holders of to day do very little
labor, and that grudgingly.
