The Walla Walla Union gives this
paragraph:


Some Of the Independents who pros
pose to vote for Mr.. Sharpstein are not
very well satisfied with the attitude of
their candidate. A short time since be
left the Democratic party and appealed
to Heaven to witness the rectitude OF
his intentions, and now they find him
accepting the nomination of that party.
Now, when was he sincere? II he was
sincere when he left his party, he is not
sincere now. And if he issincere now, be
was not then. Perhaps the most of
them will vote for him, but we have the
Fl, st man to find who can satisfactorily,
to himself even, reconcile the double
position assumed by the one man. In
other words, they cannot explain how
he can be- a good Independent and
good Democrat at the same time.

clusion is left now that the mass OF
the people North must be the vilest
hypocrites or the most consumate
fools to allow their political leaders
to so often practice upon their
credulity.


We publish these things with the
nope that the Northern people may
at some time see, that all the many
reports circulated in regard to the
Southern cruelty and lawlessness,
are but baseless fabrications manu-
factured by unprincipled politicians
to effect elections, and to continue
and render more stringent the fed>
eral bayonet over our heads. Be-
fore all general and important elec%
tions these reports are given cur"
reacy, but they have so often
proven false that we should think
it were time that the Southern
States were accorded the privilege
claimed by those of the North, viz {:
self government without the dicta-
ton of federal authority.

The judicial imbroglio of the sec~
ond district has been brought to a
elimination. The first court of the
circuit being at Hertford, both the
Judges. Moore and Hilliard, were
on the ground to oficiate, but the
Sheriff seeing no use for two justi-
ces refused to obey Moore and
acknowledged Hilliard as judge.


In our opinion it would be much
more dignified, and much more con-
ducive to the public welfare, for
Judge Moore to cease such a scuf,
file for the bench and bring his quo
ca1ranto and settle the matter by
law. 1t presents rather disgrace
full sight to see two men claiming
such an Office as that of judge and
rushing over the country in fierce
contest to see who can get on the
bench first and hold the court.

In speaking of the distribution OF

The materialistic views of Prof.
Tyndall, as put forth in his late
address as President Of the British
Association at its late meeting at
Belfast, are eliciting intense dis
cussion in literary and religious
circles in England After reading

prayer, the public will not be as
tonished at any position he may
take.

The Northern press generally,
aside from the bitter Radical journals,
think the recent action of the Presi-
dent in ordering troops was more to
influence the election in the Southern
States than it was to protect the
lives, liberty and property of the
Southern people.

PITTsBURG, Dec. Sat the final con-

The result is that general suspension of
the mills will take place on Monday, with
the exception of one or two
mills, which will continue at the
present price, So per ton, until
their contracts are filed. A large
amount of muck-bar and finished iron is
held in stock by the various firms in this
city, doubtless sufficient to meet the de-
mand for some time to come. The result
of a continued lockout will be somewhat
discouraging. The failure of the two par

sufficient exercise, sufficient sleep, tranquil
