Bayard has not made blunder after

meuts. Two general IDEAS seem
TO dominate them. These are blue
blood aud southern affiliations. OF
the many appointments made by
him four.afths are from the south
ern states. There possibly can be
no objection to this, but in his
selection OF men from this quarter
he has wholly ignored the voice Of
the representative men of the south,
and made his selections for person

PUTNAM's MISFORTUNE.
From the Milan Standard.l

Putnam is one of the rock-rlbbed rad.
ical counties. Putnam can always be
depended upon to vote against the
democracy. The finances of the coun-
ty are in deplorable condition. The
constitutional limit of taxation is not
sufficient to run the county machinery
the way radicals of that county run it.
A special tax is being levied this year
to pay the $4,000 warrant indebted
ness. The Jail of the county is not fit
to be used and their prisoners are sent
to our jail for safe-keeping; now to cap
the climax, the courthouse has been
condemned and the county hires the
Christian church to hold court In.

nown as he, and fewer still have held
it through SO many years of their life.
His life was filled with victories, but
his greatest triumph attended his death,
when the people of all the states, for
getting their past differences, felt them
selves drawn together in common sor-
row and sympathy as they witnessed
the only surrender he ever made un-
conquered. He was generous in vic
tory transformations in civil office, true to
his promises aud faithful to his friends g..
