Tur Covington Commonwealth says
il IA undoubicd authority for the as
serlion that Senator Williams is inter-
sering in the Senatorial question.
wnliams idea, and Il Is good one,
is that IL Beck il reelected his
chances for a second term goes glim-
mering, a. Il will hardly happen again
that both Senators will be selected
from the same section. His plan Is
therefore to use his best efforts to have
as many members Of the Legislature
elected as possible, who are adverse to
Beck, - that he will be thrown over
board and a man from some other
portion Of the State selected in his
stead. We hardly think, however,
that his little scheme will work.
Beck although a man Of no extraor d.
nary ability, is a man Of infinite more
influence in Congress than Williams,
aud, judging from Williams late vote
in the Roach subsidy bill Tor $1,000
600, is q better Democrat. An idea
Of the standing Of Beck in the Senate
is shown by the passage of the bill to
allow Kentucky 100000 for arms
and ammunition furnished the Federal
army. When it was called up SEN
stor asked Mr.. Beck if the bill had
been acted on by the Committee. "a
pressure Of other business has prevent
ed that" replied Mr.. Beck, "but !
will say that the bill is just one,
and ought to pass A vote was there
upon taken, ard it did pass almost
unanimously. Mr.. Beck has stood by
his section most unhinchingly, and we
are honest in the belief that he has
done more Cor the South, since the
war, than any man in it. We do not
wish to be understood as entirely be-
lieving the reports Of Senator VIII
liams' deep-lsid scheme, but we con-
fees that there Is much plausibility in
it. II may be, however, that parties
outside of the Blue-Grass section are
the origiuators Of the plan, and seek,
by creating an ill-feeling between the
two Senator's to excite sympathy for a
man from another part Of the State.
as afeeling against the Blue-Grass for
absorbing all the Offices, as they al.
lege, is known to exist outside Of its
sacred confines. We hope Senator
Williams will deny, in a tangible
shape, his completely in 50 under

ACCORDING to = report IN the Dan
tile H.. tho unanimous endorse.
ton No. r. Clarke for State
Senator, btthc Casey Democracy, a.
shown by the official report published
in this paper, was not 20 unanimous
a. Il might have been, and the pros
pcct is that there will be trouble in
the camp. We have no objection to
a Casey man; in fact, We would like
to support Mr.. Clarke or any other
good candidate from there, and will
do so to the best Of our ability II such
a one receive the nomination, but the
impression seems to prevail here and
in other parts Of the District that Mr..
Clarke.is too young and inexperienced
for the important Office to which he
aspires. As to that, however. We
have nothing to say. We should liked
to have seen Hon. J. II. Bruce re-
ceiye an endorsement by the District,
but since he has, as we learn from a
reliable source, declined to become a
candidate, Of course We are for the
next best man for the position.
Without expressing any opinion as to
whom that man is, we will mention
the fact that our fellow-countyman,
James A. Harris, Eco, has received
many Aatlerine calls to announce
himself, but he has not felt entirely
willing to do so, as he has no inclina-
ton to engage in a rough-and-iumble
contest. There were a number Of
leading Democrats here Court Day
from several Of the counties Of the
District, all of whom were anxious
for Mr.. Harris to make the race,
while his neighbors and friends in
Lincoln we're particularly urgent ana
il is more than probable that he will
become a candidate. A Democrat Of
the truest type, a man Of the strictest
honor and integrity, Mr.. Harris would
make a safe Senator, and one who
could be relied upon under any and
all circumstances. Lincoln deserves
more than any other county, from the
fact that without her assistance no
Democrat could be elected in this
District. From her must come the
votes that will elect, and from her
should come the lOudest voice in nam
ing the candidate.

southern Timber Lands,
New York Trihr-r,a

An article recently published In New
.Orleans paper on the wealth of Louisiana
in timber lands creates consid erable com
ment in the Southern press and brings
out many interesting estimates of the
.value of the forests of other States.
There are few Southern States which do
mot possess large areas of wild land
scarcely touched as yet by the axe of the
slumberman. The value of these lands
lis sure to increase from year to wear,
Jas the rapid devastation of the
great pineries of Michigan and Wiscon-
sin makes lumber dearer, and the time
lis probably not far distant when the
South will find In the forests of its
mountain sides and its sandy plains a
source of immense wealth The rugged
hills and valleys of West Virginia, Esst-
fern Kentucky and East Tennessee abound
IN oak, chestnut, ash and maple, and at
the rate the determination of the black
walnut is advancing in Ohio and Indi-
lana, will soon be the only source Of su D.
|ply of that fashionable and overrated
wood. A great deal of valuable hard
wood timber is also found in Northern
srssia and Alabama, and IL Western

grief and mourning. The great heart of

the prayers of the people availed not to
stay the hand of death, and now we are
