GENERAL LAwToN of Georgia, an
able Confederate Brigadier, who was
nominated as Minister to Russia,
but was not confirmed by the Sem
ate because his disabilities had not
been removed, and whose nomina-
ton was afterwards withdrawn by
the President, il is said, will at once
be reappointed; the Attorney Gen.
eral having given it as his opinion
that he is eligible. The old adage
runs "a fellow feeling makes US
wondrous kind" and as Attorney
General Garland and General Law
ton were tarred with the same rebel
stick, his decision is not to be won
dered at. Notwithstanding this,
however, the Fourteenth Amend
ment TO the Constitution stands as a
bar in Gen. Lawton's way. Itsavs:
.sNo person shall be senator or representative
in Congress. OF elector Of President or Vice Pres
ident or hold any office, civil or military, under
the United States, or under any State who, hav-
ing previously aken an OATH as member OF Con-
gress. or as officer Of the United States or as
a member Of any State Legislature, or as an ex-
ecu i've judicial officer of any State, to support
the constitution If the United states, shall have
engaged iu insurrection or rebellion against the
same OF given aid comfort TO the enemies there
OF. But Congress may, by vote OF twO-thirds oil
house. Eucl
The facts are that General Law
ton, at the outbreak of the rebellion,
was an officer in the regular army,
and had been educated at the ex-
pense of the Nation at West Point,
He resigned and entered the rebel
army and rose to the rank of Brig
adler General. In 1867 he received
one of President Johnson's cheap
pardons, but never applied to Con-
gress for the removal of his disabil-
tiles under the Fourteenth Amend
ment. and is therefore Ineligible to
hold this office. If General Lawton
is appointed, the Senate, when it
meets next winter, must either re-
fuse to confirm him, or stand con-
victed before the country, of assent
ing to plain violation of the con-
/ stitution.

J. II. SHAW, Democratic men,
ber of the Illinois Legislature, was
found dead in his room. at his hotel
in Springfield, on Sunday last. Mr..
Shaw is the third member who has
died since the commencement OF
this session. 1t was thought that
the deadlock which has existed
since the death of the Democratic
Senator from Greene county, would
have been ended on Monday last.
when his newly elected successor
took his seat, but it is highly prob
able that nothing will now be done
toward electing a United States Sen
ator to succeed General Logan, un-
til the Democrats have elected q
successor to Mr.. Shaw, which cannot
be done for at least twenty days.

aud thieves as was New York in the
palmy days of Boss Tweed" Car
ter Harrison, the Democratic candi-
date, is returned as elected Mayor
of the city last weak, by majority
of a few hundreds. Flagrant frauds
are said to have been perpetrsted
at the polls in many parts Of the
city and in one precinct, the ballot
box, which was stored in a livery
stable, was stolen and carried off.
The Republicans haYe decided to
contest Mr.. Harrison's election, and
it is hoped that an investigation will
lead to full exposure of the frauds.

to a review of this, one of the world

For at home here we will com

Of the week,

However, if ! say so, they think

In this way I think | will get

My business is built up on prac-
teal experience,
And spiced from the start with
true perseverance;
Its hard to start without any
money,
And those who have tried it
know it is not all honey.
The next week my customers
came back as expected,
Their tour of exploration they
had just perfected;
No where in these parts gould
they do 50 we'll,
So they decided to come back
to G. G. KNELL.
They admitted that my styles
in every way did excel,
And there was more to select
from they could truly tell;
My stock entire was ahead of
any they had seen,
For through every store over
there they had been.
To sell them now was as easy
as rolling a off log,
For the skies had got clear and
they were out Of the fog;
They concluded hereafter it was
useless to look around,
For right here in Rock Islam
to buy they were bound.
Why carry the money away
from the town,
While all that is spent here
helps us all around;
We shall support home industry
every time if we ken,
For l make most my goods and
employ a number of men;
They all have to live and spend
their money right here,
And that is the way to keep the
machine in good gear.
Now in conclusion my friends,
IIast wish to say,
If You want Furniture and Car

And if perchance, | cannot suit
you,
There is no harm in seeing what
