Mr.. Randall.

Mr.. WATTERsoN unfortunately has
to compete with rival Democratic
paper in Louisville, whose attacks upon
him seem to keep him always in a bad
humor. lie vents his spleen upon the
wrong persons. Mr.. RANDALL is not
responsible for the editorials Of the
Louisville Post. Hear WATTERsON :
"Mr. Randall's delay of the appro-
priation bills toward the close of the
last session of Congress, deliberately
and cunningly devised to obstruct and
annoy the revenue-reformers Of the
House, made just the needful hurry
and confusion to give job right of
way il could never have secured except
for the timely, we will not say pur-
chased, assistance of this attorney
from Pennsylvania protected indus
tries.'
Now, hear the Post:
"The effort on the part of certain
corruptionists to secure the removal of
Mr.. Randall from the Craftsmanship Of
the Appropriations Committee, or to
transfer the present duties Of that COM
mittee to others in order to push jobs
through Congress, will fail. Mr.. Car
Isle will not and cannot lend himself to
such a scheme. No honest man can.
The Democratic party cannot afford to
endorse jobs that wererejected even by
the Republicans. The little clique will
be bailled, hopelessly and ignomini-
ously."
MIR. WATTERsON's attacks upon Mr..
RANDALL are inexcusable.

The Courier-Journal hits the nail on

The Courier-Journal hits the nail on
the head in the sentence following:
Among the many examples Of a
tendency to 60 off half-cocked and to
prefer mud as an explosive, which cur
rent journalism has furnished its ene-
mics and critics, we can recall no in-
stance so unworthy the press Of this
country as, from first to last, the news
paper assault upon Kelley"
1t was the result of provincialism.
1t was sort of African,prince inability
to understand that New York, or Bos.
ton, or Philadelphia is not the whole
world, nor even the centre of ciyiliza-
ton. 1t was the same kind of pro.
vincialism that pronounced Mr.. WAITE
unfit to be Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, and compared him with Mr..
EvARTs. The New York papers knew
EvARTs and didn't know WAITE,
though the latter was far superior to
the former. The country will some
day outgrow that sort Of narrow,
mindedness-those limited horizons
under which 1t now suffers.

Mr.. WATTERsON says that the New
York Herald's stupidity is only
equalled by its unreliability." We
are afraid there is too much truth in this
charge. Surely the Herald ought to be
more /" reliable =" than to be the means
of misleading its readers into the belief
that the nincompoops whose utterances
on the silver question that paper quotes
day after day speak for anybody except
their own stupid" selves.

A QUIET REBELLION.

The popuace of Philipopolis, the capital
of Eastern Romelia, almost to man, rose
in rebellion last Friday and seized the Gov
ernor General, deposed the Government
and proclaimed a union with Bulgaria. A
Provisional Government was established.
The revolt was so we'll planned that no dis
order or blood-shed occurred, everybody
being in sympathy with the movement, eX-
cept the Government officials. Foreigners
in the city are perfectly safe from harm, as
is also the property of foreign residents.
Immediately after the organization of the
Provisional Government the militia was
sworn in, taking the oath of allegiance to
Prince Alexander of Bulgaria.
Prince Alexander has issued proclama-
tion announcing that in accordance with
the wishes of the entire populace he as
sumes the sovereignty over the two prov
inces of North and South Bulgaria. Meas
and all who oppose the new Govern
ment will be severely punished. The
Prince expresses the hope that the people
will defend the union at any sacrifice. The
deposed Governor, Gabriel Pasha, is under
guard. He is we'll treated in accordance
with his rank.
The army of Bulgaria is being mobilized,
and when united with the Roumelian mill
tia will form an effective force of $4,000 men.
Russian officers command the bulk Of the
Roumelia. Advices from Berlin and Wen
ma favor the opinion that peace will be
maintained, on the ground that the revolu-
ton was concerted in st. Petersburg.

THE CITADEL ACADEMY.

At meeting of the Board of V isitors of
South Carolina Citadel Academy On Tues
day of last week, the affairs, of the institu-
tion were generully discussed and the con-
clusion was reached that the next session
promises to be successful one. The prin-
cipal business of the meeting was the elec-
tion Of Superintendent to supply the va
cancy caused by the resignation of Colonel
John P. Thomas. Gen. George D. Johnston
of Alabama was elected unanimously. The
newly elected Superintendent was immedi-
ately communicated with by wire and ap-
prised of the Boards action. A response
was received in few hours by Gen. Ha-
good. The dispatch contained Gen. John
ston's thanks for the honor conferred on
him and said thathe would at once proceed
to Charleston. Thus he tacitly accepts the
position.
The Register, from which we obtain the
above facts, speaking of the new Superin-
tendent, says "Gen. Johnston was gallant
soldier in the corps of Gen. Stephen D. Lee
and for a long time commandant of the
corps of cadets of the Alabama Universi-
ty, the cadets of which institute, it will be
remembered, recently took the first prize
at the competitive drill in New Orleans"

MEXICAN VETERANS.

The National Mexican Veterans Associ-
alton met in Indianapolis last Thursday
and adopted the following resolutions:
Resozred, That we still hope that Con-
gress, which has hitherto failed to recognize
the services of the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines of the Mexican war, will at no distant
day, do justice to them all by giving them
such pension as benefits their services, and
as we'll save many of them from want and
sufferings and comfort and cheer their last
days by the assurance that they are not
wholly forgotten by their country.
Resolved, That whatever claims these
veteran survivors of the war with Mexico
may have upon their country, they stand
upon grounds so peculiar in respect to
time and circumstances in which they orig
mated as to fairly entitle them to the con-
sideration of Congress upon their own
merits.
The President of the Association was en-
powered to take charge of the resolutions
concerning pensions, and bring the subject
matter thereof to the attention of the Pres
ident and Congress at the earliest possible
day
