Information Wanted.

Nh. Editor; Can you assign any reason
why it is that our protested Readjuster friends,
now that they have come into possession of
The offices OF the State, SO completely ignore
Republicans?
We, as Republicans, entered heartily with
them ia the last gubernatorial contest more to
accomplish the overthrow of Bohrbonisrn and
80 advance those liberal and progressive ideas
upon which the Republican party is founded, :
than to satiate an inordinate greed for the
spoils of office; nevertheless it was generally
conceded that We, as Republicans, should share
literally with our Readjuster associates the re-
wards OF victory, if I'VE gained the victory, and
by the combined efforts of both Republicans
and Readjusters most signal and decisive one
was achieved over the common enemy on the
eighth day of November last but hardly had
the smoke OF battle blown away before our
Readjuster allies seized upon the most impor-.
tant and lucrative places for themselves, barely
leaving to the Republicans only few insig-
nifcant ones. - '1s f4ts4 rAt1''0A
This, Mr.. Editor, we deem is unfair and
ungratetul and if it is within the range of
your political knowledge to explain why it is
SO, we hope you will, and, if not, we cali upon
some of our professed Readjuster friends to
arise and explain. REPUBLICANS. Z

Victims Of Assassination.


Lord Frederick Charles Cavendish, who was
assassnated at Dublin on Saturday last, was the
new Chief Secretary of Ireland, and was born
IN 1886. He was the second son of the Duke
Of Devonshire and brother of the Marquis of
Harrington, who was Chief Secretary for
Ireland from 1871 to 1874. He was member
OF Parliament from the Northwestern Riding
of Yorkshire and was Financial Secretary to
the Treasury aud Junior Lord of the
Treasury in 1884. He was married June z,
1864, to Lucy Caroline, second daughter of
George William, fourth Lord of Lytteton,
and maid of honor to the Queen The Duke
of Devonshire, the father of Lord Frederick
Cavendish, owns a large amount of property
in Ireland, chiefly in the Counties of Cork and
Waterford, and at one time controlled the
elections in the Boroughs of Bandon, Youghal,
and hungarian. The present Duke, soon
after succeeding his cousin, sold most of his
estates in these boroughs, and that, with the
introductions of the ballot, deprived him of
much political influence IN Ireland He owns
large estate along the valley of the Black
water, and Lismore Castle.
Mr.. Thomas Haviland Burke succeeded Sir
Thomas Larcom as Under Secretary for Ire Q
land about 30 years ago. The Under Secretary
does not retire from Office on charge of Min
lstry, so that the office is considered perma-
nent one. 1t is an Office of much power and
influence, and the holder, except in times of
great political excitement like the present, is
to all ntents and purposes the Governor of

Individually Mr.. Calkins, of Indiana, chair
man Of the Committee on Elections in the
national House of Representative, is an able
lawyer ard most skilful deba;er. He pre-
scented the case of Lynch in its most favorable
aspect answered every objection that was
raised sometimes satisfactorily and at others
not satisfactorily; allowed anybody and every
body who desired to do so to interrupt him ;
and never once lost his temper or manifested
any discourtesy. And yet this accomplished
gentleman is so prejudiced against the south
ern people that he seems really to prefer seating
a negro to seating a white man.-R5cltDl09ad
lDisp0tcb.
It was clearly established that the me
gro'' was fairly elected, and as clearly
proven that he was defrauded out of his
seat by a technica lily in its purpose as Grim
inal as if the ballot box had been smashed
in open day. The negro is citizen, with
his rights as snch as securely guarded by
the Constitution as are those of the white
man The votes cast for him were by legal
voters, about whom there was no question,
and it was only as to the printers dash,
with which the cand idate had nothing to
do, and which by no means came under the
condemnation of the election law of Mis-
sissippi, that pretense could be raised to
justify the extraordinary, ruling of the
Court. 1t is just as criminal to deny the
rights a negro possesses under the laws
and Constitution of the country as it is to
deny the rights of any other citizen, and
Congress would have stultied itself If it
had not indicated the laws and the rights of
citizenship in giving Lynch his seat for which
majority of the legal votes of his district
east at the election in 1880, designated him.
1t is not the fact whether the negro may be
elected to Congress, but whether the laws
and Constitution Of the country are to be
respected. as they affect the rights of citi
zenship, that must be considered. 1t is
Just such spirit as that manifested in the
paragraph we have quoted which keeps the
country in turmoil and iYn1sRaes d istrust
the Southern people. And it is the spirit
that animates Bourbonism, aud invites the
resentment Of those who believe it to be the
duty Of She South to respect the laws and
live up to them as the Constitution ofevery
Southern State demands.

There was no earthly excuse or reason for
the defeat of the reapportionment bill in the
Legislature. 1t was necessary that the reap
portionment should be made, and the districts
as mapped out by the committee empowered
to report bill, were much more compact and
uniform in their arrangement than those made
by the Legislature of 1870'71. We cannot
account for the opposition of Messrs Williams
and Wingfield, Republicans, for the districts
reported were much fairer to the Republicans
than those which now exist The Bourbons
opposed the bill because they believe they can
carry the districts now held by them. But this
they cannot do The coalition will capture

raising was matter of great commercial
Importance to Kentucky, and the race
course was one of the means to make ait
successful. Because people would bet on
races and peryert the object of 1.-The race
course, as it is understood in Kentucky,
should not prevent Christians from attendJ
