THEns is a growing feeling all over
theState that Henry must be withdrawn
from the race for Appellate Clerk. A
large number Of democrats will not
vote for him, preferring to see Jacob
elected 10 man who would likely
disgrace the Office. The Lebanon
Standard, edited BY a sound democrat,
who never allows bis weapon 10 20 of
halfcocked, says: IL Captain Henry
will not resign the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, should take some &C
ton in the premises. If they knew
the sentiment Of the people, they
would not hesitate. The Louisville
Post, another staunch democratic pa
per, says: In view Of what has 90.
CURED, and what may occur, IL would
be we'll for Captain Henry 70 with
draw from the contest, and for the
State Central Committee 10 take &C
ton, looking 70 the substitution of
some one in his place whose habits
afford better guarantee against such
scandal. The interests Of the party
seem to demand such action. The in
teresis of the public demand il. ~ \
SHOULD the Legislature adjourn on
the oath, the day fixed, which is not
at all likely, it will have been in ses-
sion five months, Lacking four days,
or LAG days. which at 81, 900 per day,
a low estimate, makes the cost foot up
$4,000. And yet with the excep
ton Of not over half dozen import
ant measures, there has absolutely
nothing been done. The body started
off frst.rate, and there were many
predictions that it would be the most
remarkable tor work OF any Of its pred
ecessors for years. but it went of junk
citing early in the action, and ever
since il has been remarkable only as
the Legislature that made q monkey
show Of itself by going in a body to an
exposition at the expense of the State,
and losing three weeks of time that
should have been devoted to the busi-
ness for which they we're elected. |
Their respective constituencies should
see that majority of them are never
again given any position Of honor or
trust. We intend to take care of
few Of them ourselves. D ~
3 The Breathitt bill for an equal di
vision of the School money between
the white aud -colored children has
been virtually killed in the Legisla-
ture. The United States Court at
Padueah has decided against the dis
tinction. that is now being made, a
decision that must be taken as proper
and right by all fair,minded men.
That the colored children will be put |
on an equal footing in this matter
with the white, is enc Of the absolute
certainties of the near future, and the
democratic legislators are idiots, if
they do not with the best of grace
make virtue Of necessity.
d Anew Of the members Of the Gen
eral Assembly are talking about a
special session next fall to consider
the Capital removal question. 1t is
their duty TO settle it now or let il
alone, for the matter will not be worth
the expenses an extra session would
cost. The men who advocate the SEES
sion are, of course, those who are 10th
to give up their little lease of power,
and are scheming to get back to
Frankfort, for great many of them
know they will never see it again in
tqeir present capacity.
Hon. ED. PARKER offered a reso. 1
luton in the House Wednesday, re-
quiring the Auditor to furnish a full
and complete Statement Of each and
every article furnished the Executive
under the present reign, but
was voted down: 46 to 80. There are a
lot of toadies in the body that seem to
think it their bounden duty to resent
anything looking to an investigation
,f any matter connected with his royal :
highness, the Gar OF Kentucky.
Scovn.LE has petitioned Congress
to pay him for defending the assassin
Guiteau. We have hitherto thought
well of the man, but if he
cannot defend a brother-in-law with
put begging the Government whom he
had wronged for money,he must sure
ly by very "onery" cuss. He was
we'll paid anyhow in the amount Of :
advertising he got, for he would never |
have been known but for Guiteau.
Is it not time that the resolution in
quiring into the pardon business, was
being noticed by the Blackburn's,
Luke and Jimi We will wager two
to one that these grandiloquent digni !
taries ignore the matter and that the s
adjourning, it will 60 by /,
default. The way democrats are man
aging things in this State will greatly
reduce. if it does not wipe out their
majority in the State. {
