Mr. RANDALL's tour through the South,
now concluded took on the form of an ova-
ton from beginning to end, exemplifying
the immense advantage of advertising in the
Louisville Courier-Joufnals editorial columns.
The people everywhere poured out to see and
hear him. They decorated their houses and
halls and 'hollered' themselves hoarse
wherever he appeared. waving their hats and
handkerchiefa like mad At Birmingham,
Ala, the occasion was unprecedented. Houses
were decorated, some Of the m ottoes being:

Bteele's plurality Is only "a. In that fact
lies the real reason for the contest. Major

THE Charleston News and Courier, of Sat
urday, says:

THE Charleston News and Courier, Of Sat
urday, says:
''It is evident from the special reports pub
lished in the News and Courier yesterday that
the emigration of the colored people, about
which so much fuss was made, is not sufficient
in extent to interfere with the supply of labor
in the State. There is no exodus. A few
hundred colored people have been induced to
go to the Southwest by the promise of less
work and more pay. Some of them have
already discovered that there is no place like
home, aud have returned here Others will
come back before long"
We are glad TO know this; for the South itself
would be the worst sufferer from forced en-
igration of the colored people, who are nee
essarily, the laborers of that section. We
have faith to believe that under the awakened
conscience of the Nation, and under the new
circumstances, industrial and otherwise, that

THE action of Governor Porter in tie mat
ter of the police commissonership will be
heartily and strongly indorsed by the Republic
ans of the city and of the State. The Democrats
have had some experience before in an at
tempt to bulldoze the Governor. They tried
it two years ago, at the insolent beck of the
bummers for whom the metropolitan police
bill was passed. But Bynum and his disrepu-
table crowd failed to move him an inch from
the constitutional line of his executive prerog-
ative. They had the numerical force and
could carry their point then, as the State of
ficers can now, in the election of police COM
missioner; but the Governor may be relied on
to stand firmly by his duty and the proper
rights of the party of which he
is the representative. So far as Mr..
Failey is concerned, we have nothing to say.
He is reputable and honorable gentleman,
and might make good commissioner. But
Frenzel and Mr.. Murphy are Democrats, and
he was the choice of the Democratic officers
for the sole and only reason that he was not
representative Republican. Ho is not the
man for whom the Republican party desires to
become responsible as a member of the Met
ropolitan Police Board, and it is to his credit
as man and as a citizen that he recognizes
that fact, and declines to accept the place.
There were dozen good men and good Re-
publicans named, any one Of whom
would be satisfactory to the Governor,
to the Republican party and to the
people generally; but it was not
the purpose of the Democratic State officers to
allow such an. one to be chosen. They not only
propose to select the Democratic members of
the board, but the Republican member as
well If that is their determination, we hope
the place will remain vacant until Governor
Grays incumbency, when they will have full
swing. Then, for whomsoever they select,
should he accept, the Republican party will
be in no wise responsible, and for whatever he
may do or not do, the party cannot be held
to answer. AS for Secretary Myers's coarse
and insulting taunt to Governor Por-
ter, that he was afraid of public
opinion in his choice of commissioner
it may, probably, be enough to say that
the spirit of the remark was entirely worthy
of and becoming to the Secretary of State.
There is no man more conscientious than
Governor Porter in the dischage Of duty, and
if he believed the right was across the path of
popular opinion, no man would be less hesi
tant in opposing the public clamor. But it is
to his credit if, in the discharge of his duty
as representative of the people, he
seeks to know what is the real and
rightful public voice; and we may
say that the time is not far distant when the
Democratic State officers and the Democratic
members of the police board will regret that
they had not taken counsel of the solid,
righteous sentiment that demands proper
enforcement of law and an observance of their
oaths by public officials The overthrow of
the party and the men that prostitute them
selves and cover their souls with moral per-
jury at the behests of league of defiant law
breakers, is as certain as fate.
