Some exceedingly interesting observations were
published in The Commercial .idr0tiser last evening
uDon tae supposed refusal Of the President to reCOg
niz- what thar sprghtly journal pleased to call
the scr.tchcrs. independents. halbrced', or what
ever they may I've called" of the Republican party
in this state. There was also published III the tclc-
graphic news of the same journal tho interesting
information that one William II. Robertson had been
dominated Collector of the Port oI New-iOrk by
Prr.i,pnt Garfield. The moral would seem to be-
that A very able article may be spoiled by being too
previous.
II was deeply impressed upon the minds of several
persons yesterday that tins is an Administration
which is able TO keep Its OWN secrets.
The best citizens of Kemper County are safe

records Of that famous case they have made further

told the reporter that Senator Malone was display

The people OF the North" added the senator, IN
his dryest manner, have no dislike of the South.

capital and class of intelligent laborers is to give
every man the right 70 have and exercise his own
