JOHNNIE WHITE is trying to get it
into the ear of the President, that il
he will furnish little of the same
material that he gave Malone, he
can induce Green Clay Smith to run
for Clerk of the Court of Appeals, in
which event he can be elected just as
easy, as there are 10000 Wings,
Union men and Baptists in Kentucky
who have heretofore acted with the
Democracy. who are just houing to
vote for Smith. This 10000 he
claims, with the regular Republican
strength will more than suffice to car
~ the State. And this accomplished
Congressional District after Congress.
ional District will fall into line, and
instead of sending nine Democrats to
one Republican to Congress the order
of things will be reversed, and the
year of jubilee will come. We are
just little afraid that Johnny takes
too rosy a view of the situation. We
admit that he is a statesman, schol-
ar and a good judge of moonshine,
but that he will be able TO do all he
promises, even with the weight of the
administration on his side of the
scales, is most too supremacy utter to
contemplate.

In is the duty Of the present Legis'
lature to repeal the unconstitutional
special tax for the benefit of the Ag
ricultural and Mechanical College at
Lexington. Article XII, OF the Con-
stitution says that call sums raised in
the State by taxation or otherwise for
the purposes of education, shall be
held inviolate for the purpose of sus-
tanning a system of Common Schools. "
1t says nothing about Colleges. In
fact the trainers of the Constitution
thought as every disinterested man
must think now, that if the State
gives her poor children fair educa-
ton, such as can be obtained at Com
mon Schools, she will have done her
full duty. Until she gives those 900,-
600 illiterate children a better chance,
she has no right, either Constitutional
or otherwise, to tax her citizens for a
favored few. Besides there are plenty of
good Colleges that poor young man
can attend free of tuition, if he feels
that he is absolutely compelled to
have a better education than that of.
fered by the Common Schools.

AFrxR a retirement Of only seven.
teen minutes, the jury in the case Of
William Neal, one of the fends who
raped and murdered Emma Thomas
aud the Gibbons children on the
night of the Oath Of December, re-
turned a verdict Of guilty, and fixed
his punishment at death. Thus in
exactly a month from the time the
heinous crime was committed, the
sentence to avenge it is passed. If the
crime of murder could always be fol.
lowed with such summary punishment,
red handed murderers would cease to
follow their bloody inclinations and
the dark and bloody ground would be
redeemed from its almost daily bap-
tism of blood. In this connection
we would express the hope that the
murderer of Miss Bland, in Garrard,
may meet with the same condign pun
ishment. There should be none of the
usual delays and continuances, no
change Of venue or other dilatory
steps, but he should be tried during
the present Court, that the people
may be convinced that the law is yet
supreme. They have acted with
great forbearance in not hanging him
without Judge or jury, and the Court
owes it to them to brook no delay. If
VIM. Austin is guilty Of the foul
murder, and the circumstances all
point that way, let HIM suffer at the
earliest possible moment for his crime
or the people may be driven to take
the law into their own hands.

way to kill him.

Mr.. YOUNG E. ALLISON, the tai
ented gentleman who was city editor
of the Courier.JOuvnal, has accepted
the position of managing editor of the
Louisville Commercial, and took charge
yesterday. This arrangement will suit
Mr.Allison's tastes and capabilities bet
ter,as he is red hot Republican. Mr..
l.. S. Hewlett, who has held the po-
sition which Mr.. Allison takes, with
so much credit, has resigned, but he
is too good newspaper man to re-
main out of business long.

IT is silly to talk about running
Gen. Wolford for Governor. He wants
some Office in which there is money
to help him down the decline of life.
He is old and poor, and deserves some
thing better than the pay of the Gov
ernor's Office.

Gov. BLACKBURN is at his old bus
mess again after a short recess. He
pardoned a murderer from Scott
county, because Lit. Gov. Cantrill, his
his attorney, knowing that he could
not acquit him, asked it. The Lit.
Gov. evidently has soft thing. VIM.
Austin, of Garrard, should employ
him.

After a trial Of two months and
thirteen days, the case Of Guiteau,
charged with the murder Of President
Garfield, was given to the jury
Wednesday evening about 5 o'clock.
They retired, and in less than thirty
minutes returned a verdict Of Guilty
as charged in the indictment" Gui.
teau was taken greatly by surprise,
but shrieked out, "God Almighty
will curse this jury for this, and don't
you forget it. The Court in banc will
reverse this business" A burst Of
applause greeted the announcement Of
the verdict, but il was promptly
checked. From all points come ex-
pressions Of appreciation and the hope
that the execution will be fixed for
the nearest day possible. Scoville
will apply for a new trial, and appeal
to the Court in banc. but it will hard
ly avail any thing. The verdict Of
the jury is the verdict Of the American
people-Guiteau must hang.

A MURDER case has just been tried
at Newark, N. j., which is similar to
Guiteau's, in that the criminal claim
ed direct inspiration to commit the
deed. The Judge held that if man
had sufficient mind to distinguish be
tween right and wrong, and could
control his conduct under ordinary
circumstances, he could not acquit
himself on the plea of irresistible
impulse. The jury thereupOn brought
in a verdict of murder in the first de
gree. The twelve honorable gentle
men who hold the fate of Guiteau in
their hands are respectfully requested
to 90 and do likewise.

THE Chesapeake u Ohio Railroad
will soon put on a line of steamers
from Newport News, its Eastern ter
minus, to New York. A more de-
lightful trip for persons living in this
section could hardly be imagined than
this great thoroughfare will then afford.
A new country would open up before
them from Lexington to Huntington,
then the beautiful valley of Kanawha,
the wonderful canyons and the magnifi
cent scenery along New and Green
brier rivers, the towering Alleghanies
with its wealth of Mineral Springs,
the lovely Blue Ridge Mountains,
the battle fields of Virginia, the his
toric Richmond, and last, an ocean
ride to New York, would combine
more pleasure and interest than
any other five routes that can be
named. We have recently been over
this road and can heartily recommend
it. 1t is splendidly equipped, we'll
managed, and is run by as an accom-
modating and obliging set of con-
ductors as ever pulled a bell cord.

OUR highly priced contemporary,
the Covington Commonwealth, garbles
an extract from our article on the late
Appellate Convention to make a point
against us. He quotes; 1--WE do not
think the friends of any candidate
have reason to complain" and stops,
whereas, we went on to say in speak
ing of the combination, that none of
the candidates, or at least their mana
gers, were too good to enter into a
combination that would have benefit
ted their own candidate. We happen
to know that combinations we're dis
cussed all around. and while we dis
like to see the will Of the people
thwarted by such means, we do not
think that because Henry and Gaines
held the winning hand, that other
candidates should condemn that which
each of them would willingly have
done.

old Federal General. In fact, the
largest part Of bis support came from

duce bill in the HOnsc providing To-,
the leasing Of desert and arid lands in
Colorado in quantities not executing
two thousand acres for period not ex-
ceeiing five years, with view to the
reclamation Of the same. The bill pro-
vides that hut one tract shall be taken
~ one pcr-on, and at the end of fiv.
years the Secretary of the interior H.
authorized to release or sell, in tracts
not exceeding go acres, giving the pref
eremcr to the lessee. The Object of tlm
Till is in the interest of cattle and sheer,
growers, who can thus secure un inter
eft III the public domain and be- protect
tsl against each other. The Committee
on Public Lands regard the measure
with favor. 1t applies exclusively t.
lands available for agricultural purposes
through irrigation.
The leasing Of the public lands to par
tie. for grazing purposes may secure

ii will work great injury to the State
or Territory in which it is permitted.
