Chalmers Endorsed by the Republi-
cans.

s The Republican Congressional
Convention for the Second District
resolved that they did not deem it
.expedient for the Republicans OF
that District to nominate a candi-
date for Congress, on account OF
the past action of the Democratic
party in robbing US of our rights
by frauds upon the ballot box, the
most sacred of the rights of Amer
lean citizens, They also declared
that Gen. James r. Chalmers hav-
ing publicly denounced the election
frauds Of the Democracy and de-
clared his intention Of opposing the
longer continuance in power d
Bourbon Democracy, they would
endorse his candidacy as an indie
pendent candidate for Congress from
that District, and urged upon
the Republicans to give him their
united and earnest support.

The hope Of the Republican party
Pr success lies in the distribution
ofoflciaI patronage and the use Of
money. Already the indications
are that all postmasters who are Of
no practical benefit to the party
will have to ,sstep down and out, =
and their places be filed by bold
and aggressive men, at least those
who will agree to work diligently
and faithfully tor the success of the
party, particularly in the Presiden-
tial campaign of 1884. Whatever
movements made against the Demo
cratic party it may depend upon the
support Of the administration at
Washington which will care moth !.
ing for its principles, or want Of
principles, SO long as it seems to as
sist in disorganizing the opponents
of Republicanism. "They will put
the money wrung from reluctant
Government employees, whose occu.
pations have nothing to do with
party politics, and in whose APP
pointment party politics ought to
have no part,-they viii place these
funds, accumulated by plundering
scrub women and day laborers, por.
ters and pages, where they will do
the most good" If corrupt use Of
money is not to be made ny Repuh-
licans at elections in this section
why is so much being collected?
The salvation of the Republican
party depends upon carrying as
many Congressional District as pos
sible in the approaching election
and it is willing to do anything to
keep it's hold on power, and will
make desperate effort ia retain
control of the Government. A ire
mendous effort will be made to
carry some Of the districts in Mis-
sissippi, particularly the seventh.
Money will be spent lavishly and no
effort left undone. In the districts
in the South where an attempt will
be made to elect Republicans or In
dependents, it "behooyes our peo-
pie to be on their guard. The par.
ty in many parts of the South is not
well organized. Constant success
has had the usual result of causing
it to underrate it's antagonists
This feeling very often, like pride,
goes before a fall. Added to this
is the apathy this want of excite
ment in political matters causes.
If we are not mistaken, the opposi-
ton will decidedly enliven things
and make the election in November
decidedly interesting one in a
number of Congressional districts
In the South"

Sunday Laws.

On our local page will be found q
contribution in reply to our article
of the 10th inst We recognize in
our contributor a very able and con-
scientious man. If we understand
him, he means to say that the pub
lie policy ofthe State in the enact.
ment of Sunday laws has no religi-
GUS side to the question; that the
fact that it has religious aspect is
merely an incident. and is foreign
from the object and purpose of the
Legislature in prohibiting labor and
public amusements. This is the
logic of the article. We do not
think this. view is correct, for various
reasons. In the first place, the rest
SO valuable and necessary needs
no legislative enactment to secure it
in a free country like ours. The
privilege is not derived from legis-
lation. Neither is rest enforced as
a measure of public policy, because
if that was the object and purpose
Of the law the Jews would be, or
ought to be, exempt from obeying
the statute, since they keep one day
in seven. If the law is simply a
measure to secure rest every seventh
day, why enforce it against every
body when the fact is notorious that
not more than one-half the popula-
ton do any work at all and do not
need rest.
But again, ours is not paternal
government that invades the domain
|or private ialgmeas -eespset 10 8
man's conduct when there is no
moral side to the question. It is
against the spirit of our institutions
quite as much as prescribing a code
for his conscience. The truth is,
the rest that few obtain which they
might not obtain but for the Sun
day law, is the incident, and the
moral side Of the question inspires
the legislation. The fact that an
overwhelming majority of religious
people in the United States recog-
nize Sunday as the Sabbath, and
the moral obligation ofthe people to
keep it, induces legislative enact
'ments. Whether such legislation is
in keeping with the spirit of the in
situations under which we live, is q
question about which good men diff
fer. Men who have read history
look with horror upon State
church, or the least concession to
the law making power to invade the
sacred precincts of conscience. Wise
men do not fear the doctrines of the
bible. There is no harm taught
there to nations, individually or col
lectvely, but they have learned the
difference between Its precepts and
their Interpretation by Legislators.

Starrh's TOll-ROad Abolished.

A couple ol months ago, Thomas L..
Starrh, the owner of the ferry across
the Snake river on the keltou road,
was arrested for erecting two gates
ON the road between his ferry and Lit
tie Wood River, ana collecting toll,
under a license from the Board OF
County Commissioners. He was held
to appear before the Grand Jury, who
indicted him for misdeHranor Ola two
charges-one for each toll-ga'e. de
was subsequently tried in the Dlstrlct
Court, and iound guilty on the first
cuarye-afler which the sane jury
found him guilty on the second charge.
His Honor, Judge Prlcketl, Ill Sch
fencing he accused, said that he would
punish him very lightly because this
was a case in which the law had not
been very well known to the pubic;
but with the Court it was different.
He had studied the question for years
and was satisfied that the County
G had no right to charter
a toll-road, or grant license to Col
lect tolls. The Territorial Legislature
might enact a law giving them that
