MR. THOS. Z. SKINNER.

With no sort of malice or bad feeling
but simply as q matter of duty to al
concerned, we wish to say q word tt
Mr.. Skinker. He may not value oul
advice. but we will give it nevertheless
Judge Prather has been discharged.
Judges Harrison and Lockhart are a
home on leave of absence for q month
1t 10 q good time to pause and think
JudgePrather is out of the scrspe. The
other two judges will never, never
make the levy Mr.skinker asks for. No
poUer on earth can compel them to do It
They are pledged to their people not to
do it. They would DO recreant to their
plighted word were they to do it. It il
a. Impossible for them to do: this thing
As 1t wouid be for them deliberately to
dishonor themselves. If Mr.. Skinker
should submit them to the rack, as be
has to tho prison, they would still say,
no. They must. Then what is Mr..
skinker to gain by longer keeping them
in jsil2' Their families need them at
home, and liberty is Is sweet to them
Is it was to their forefathers when they
stamped unto death oppression similar
to this. The county needs their SER
vices. Its roads, bridges and other in
terssts are being neglected, at great
cost and sacrifice. MI. Skinker claims
to be q democrat. He should love lib
erty. he should detest and repudiate
the usurpation by the federal judiciary
of Jurisdiction that never should have
been conceded to it. He should respect
the court of which he is an officer, and
not seek to dishonor its decisions. He
scorn to be the means o impris
oning his fellow citizens for debt. II
none of these considerations appeal to
him, he should still not be an migrate,
and by his presidency as an attorney
Or in retaining his state Office bring up
OH the state supreme judges q popular
indignation which will most certainly
make itself felt. The taxpayers of La
county are not children to be
bullied, hectored or driven about. They
know the, right as well as does Mr..
skinker. They know what they want
10 do and they mean to do it. Forty
Mr.. Skinkers and forty such powers as
he invokes could not now move them.
This is notidle talk but a simple fact.
The sooner it %percolates through MI.
Skinker's hard head the better it will
De for all concerned. Mr.. Skinker has
been on the war path against Lafayette
for . long time-to the bitter
the very prison. He cannot
,lame it if at last it turns upon him
With just indignation. 1t would be the
visest thing he ever did in his life to let
his thing drop right where it is. Let
i'm think over it.

What the Statesmen Say.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec GA number Of
Congressman have been interviewed in regard
TO the presidents message; subjoined are a
few Of the opinions expressed: Senator
Mitchell of Pennsylvania, said: President
Arthur is very practical and his message
business-like and to the point did not hear
any reference to the coinage Of silver, how
ever, as had expected
Senator Logan, of Illinois: It is a very
good message There are some good points
in it upon which the president and myself
disagree, but as a whole it is very accept
able document.
Senator Hawley was asked what he thought
of it. He said: Well, from what was able
to understand of it should say it is a very
able document. 1t covers great many sub
jects and commends reflection.
Senator Beck said: 1t is very indifferent.
It means that the president will throw the
entire responsibility for legislation as to
revenues and tariff upon congress
Senator Allison remarked: should say it
is good message; not so pronounced in
some particulars as that of last year, per-
haps
The proposition to rehabilitate the navy
created more favorable comment than any
other portion, as even the senator's from the
interior begin to feel that it is foolhariy
policy to allow the countay to go along for
years in a perfectly defenseless condition.
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island: fully
agree with every suggestion made by the
president.
Senator Jones' of Florida: It is an emf.
nently practical document, and worthy Of
serious consideration by every thinking man.
Senator Groome, of Maryland: It is one
of the strongest business communications that
have ever heard.

give his views He said: "Mr. Carlisle
should be judged by his administration, and
not by his location. The very logic of the
war is that citizens of the southern states
must remain citizens of the United
States, and as such may fill any office to
which they can be elected Mr.. Carlisles
election may have been the result of desire
of many of his supporters to assert their rights
to their own opinions upon political matters,
and also the right of their people to their
share in the party councils, and, being the
majority, they have done only what the
friends of other candidates would have done
under the circumstances. Mr.. Carlisle must
be judged by the results of his administration
as speaker"

THE THIRD TERM AGAIN.
A Philadelphia Editor Sees It Loom
ing Up In the Distance.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Col. A. K. Nc
Clure, editor Of The Philadelphia Times, tel
egraphs an editorial to that paper taking thu
ground that the southern men had again in
vited northern sectionalism by the election
of Carlisle as speaker He says:
"This is that entertainment to which
southern sectionalism invites the Democracy.
1t would give Virginia back to Malone, il
would make North Carolina, Louisiana, Ala
bama, Tennessee and West Virginia doubtful
and it would leave the Democrats without
the hope of single electoral vote in the
northern states. Such is the outlook, and
only the resolute reversal of the
sectional policy declared by the house
can give the Democrats the remotest
chance to contest the election
of a president next year. From this day
until the Democratic people shall unmistaka-
bly, repudiate the sectionalism of their party
leaders in congress no conservative Repubi
can will be within range Of the next presi-
DENTAL nomination. If Blaine shall re-enter
the contest, as is now more than probable, he
will refresh himself on his debate with Hill
when he made his desperate bid for northern
sectionalism to nominate himself in 1876, and
if nominated he would sweep the north.
"There will be loud and earnest calls for
the old commander to return to the fore un-
less Arthur shall be an insupetable obstacle to
concentration on Grant. He will be made a
candidate again; and in the present attitude
OF the Democracy he would be nominated
and if nominated he would carry more south
ern states than any Republican in the coun
try. He is the strongest cadidate that north
ern sectionalism can present. He is the Idol
of capital and business, he is the terror of
southern sectionalism, he would CON-
pletely disarm it, and more plausibly rally
the south to his support for southern safety
than could any other candidate. The south
has had his rule in war and in peace in re-
preston of sectionalisn, and with its people
sick of southern suicide and its fearful con-
sequences he would end the solid south for
ever. 1t is Grants ambition to be recalled
to the presidency. He has defeat to atone,
and snail be greatly surprised if he does
not become the foremost Republican candi-
date in 1884 within the next three months"

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Times thinks Presi.
dent Arthur's message is somewhat colorless

guage used in regard to pauper emigrants
The press generally express disappointment

tions in the tariff for this session. ALI the

of the United States as set forth in the mes

that they did not come to meet Manager

agreement Of the nature indicated. Thei,
being here at the same time is simple
