The VIoLN.-Of all the musical
instruments the violin is the most en-
during. Pianos wear out, wind in
struments get battered and old.fash.
toned, the pipes of organs become
scattered aud the original construc-
ton is lost sight of. All kinds OF
novelties are introduced into flutes,
but the sturdy violin stands on its
own merits. Age aud use only i'm
prove it, and instead of new ones
commanding the highest prices, as is
the case with other instruments, it is
the violins Of the few Italian makers
of the last three centuries that com
mand fabulous prices. Ii is impossi-
BILE to handle an old violin without a
feeling of veneration, when one re-

Governor Blackburn is in further
personal difficulty owing to his i'll
regulated temper and the indeceucY Of
his speech. Mr.. w. p. Walton is the
editor Of the Stanford INTERIOR jour.
NAL (democratie). Last fall some one
attempted TO shoot him, but failed.
An indictment was found against the
assassin for carrying concealed deadly
weapons. Application was made to
the Governor for pardon before trial.
To this he replied that his rule was
not TO pardon before conviction, but
that il the d. Of a b. referring
to Walton) had been killed, he would
have promptly issued pardon. Wal
ton, March lS, addressed the Cover.
nor a note inquiring il he had used
this language. The letter was regis.
tered. received and receipted for, as
Walton alleges. No attention was
paid 10 il, and the inference naturally
follows that the language 'Ods used.
II this be 50. it places the Chief
Magistrate Of the Commonwealth OF
Kentucky in a very unfortunate, not
to say a shameful attitude. II is sim
ply a premium to murder, provided
the victim is a man towards whom he
is inimical. IL is related Of the late
Governor Willard, of Indiana, that he
once assured visitor from Kentucky
that IL he could contrive 10 blow the
top of some Know. Nothing's head Of
before he left the State, he would par
don him without the intervention Of
trial; but this was probably said face
tiously, and eliminated Of gross accom-
panying epithet, as attributed to Gov
ernor Blackburn. An investigation
of the matter is demanded by Mr..
Walton. with view to impeachment.
If the Governor is guilty as charged,
he deserves impeachment Whatever
his grounds Of personal hostility to.
wards Mr.. Walton may be, he owes il
TO his own character and TO the digni.
ty Of his high Office to restrain such
exhibitions Of hot wrath aud the EN-.
Payment Of language SO far beyond
the pale Of gentlemanly denunciatiOn.
Coming, as il does, during tile dis
cussion Of his recent violent behavior
towards newspaper correspondent,
he is seriously injured In his good
name with sober aud rejecting citi-
liens, while he has so many qualities
to entitle him to their affection and
respect. The bloviating days Of "ring-
tailed squealers from the Rolling Fork
of Salt" fellows who could "whir
their weight in varmints," died Out
with Roaring Ralph StackpOle, and
no one wishes the character revived in

The Rights Of JOUmObsts.

The extract from the card of Mr..
w. z. Walton, which We publish in
another column, should attract the
attention of the press, and cannot fail
to expose Governor Blackburn to the
most serious criticism. We have no
idea that the Governor really meant
what he said. but a moments rehec
ton should have convinced him of the
grave improperly Of his language.
That he should repeat the same words
on different occasions, after time had
been afforded for deliberation, aeems
almost incredible. The doctor some
time since became greatly inceused Al
