We notice that the Times Democrat has

after the Hon. L. John Ellis, the present
Representative of Congress from the Second

For the Times Democrat {, have advocu-
ted aud espnused the cause Of Mr. ". T.
Houston, the opponent of Mr.. Ellis for
Congressional honor- and the avowcd
choice Of the Times Democrat, would have
been legitimate and altogether proper.
But in order Ia secure the nomination of
Mr. Houston by the Democratic party of
the Second District, the Times Democrat
should not have organized perfect -ys-
ten Of abuse against Nj. +. John Ellis.
The vitnperation heaped upon Nr. Ellis
by tho Tunes Democrat Is of such n nature
aud spun from ~ slender cords to such in-
mcuse proportions thai the whole is6rica-
ton should fall back upon its builder with
disparnging effect.
Aud we hope the Democrats of the
Second district have so received tine affair
and have selected Delegation who via
support Mr.. Ellis III the convention. As
the delegates were to have been selected
yesterday this question has already been
settled We suppose, but in what manner

Slowly of it cra~led,
