GOOD GARLAND

A Washington special contains the
following: Attorney-Genera Garland
is as mild a hammered man as ever
cleaned out a lot of Republican dead
beats and barnacles. He has made a
good officer, making 40 proclamations,
getting up no circulars, but getting in
his work wherever and whenever he
had a chance. But he is so quiet and
modest withal that all he has done
might not have become known but for
the kindly offices of the New York
Tribune. That journal says: Honest
civil service reformers feel indignant
at the clean sweep made by Attorney
General Garland in the Department Of
Justice"
This Journal goes on to give the
names of the Assistant Solicitor
General, Assistant Attorney General.
Assistant Attorneys and Special Elk
aminers, all Of these Republicans. Ac.
cording tothe Tribune they are greai
legal luminaries and essential to the
administration Of the Government
The wonder is not how the Govern.
ment Is now to get On, but how it has
managed to exist without them. 1t i.
evident that Garland believes in Dem,
ccr2cy and the eloquence Of action.

about maturing and developing into
women. The lack of watchful care at

Hon. T. NJ. MILLER, a distinguished
member of the Vicksburg miss bar,
was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Miller
was a member Of the the last legisla-
ture Of his State and achieved distinc-

his well stored legal mind and acute
perceptions rapidly won him a leading
position. In the house be was noted
as a ready and logical debater, a sound
thinker and a wise legislator. Mr.
Miller is being urged for the attorney
generalship Of the State and his candi-
dacy meets with favor throughout the

For State Senator.

Editor Of Commercial Herald:
This being the season for candidates,
and the names of several excellen
gentlemen having been suggested
from the city for senator, / desire to
name q gentleman from the county,
that understands the agricultural and
mercantile interests of the people Of
this county as well as any mar in it.
His ability may not be as great as
some other man, yet he is eminently
capable of representing the people Of
Warren county, and should the good
people of this county honor George M.
Bachelor with a seat in the senate,
his record in that body will never
bring regret, or the blush Of shame to
his constituents. And we feel, too,
the great Importance Of having good
and true men to represent the people,
and we declare, without "being long
winded," that George NJ. Bachelor
will represent energy, interest of the
people, and the Democratic party too.

WE have heard that the West Point

torious company Of the Greenyille

will or not, but if they do, the Vicks-

IT seems that we have not yet got
the work of the Suntlower Convention
with regard to candidates for Auditor
exactly correct. Capt. f. N. Andrews,
VINO was present, and who is natural
ly for Capt. Stone, and who was re-
quested to report the proceedings for
the COMMERCIAL HERALD, says the
Convention instructed for Stone, but
that he was undoubtedly informed
that it also instructed to vote for Capt.
Sykes on the second ballot, and that
he thus reported the proceedings to
the local editor of this paper,
who was in error in stating the Con-
vention instructed the delegates to vote
first for Stone and then for Sykes, and
vice versa, or first for the one and then
for the other. Whether the delegates
to Jackson are to vote for Sykes on the
second ballot, OF as second choice, is
the point at issue. We certainly do
not want to place Capt. Andrews
wrong in the matter, when he was
serving us by reporting the proceed
ings as given him by members of the
Convention.
