At last Mr. Henry Carter, tho great
Bourbon leader of Southern Illinois,
has an organ. Tho Mound Oity Jour

fortunes with tho Joo Lcdho party and
will hereafter muster with Henry. Wo
are not absolutely suro of this, however.
It is just possible wo may sec Tha

is stupid to attempt to cast upon us
tho charco of "forciug" it. When
Capt. Kelly read his resolution in the
conventioD,ho road in a tone so low wo
could not hear him, and probably The
Sun was as deaf as wo wore? Our neigh

by excluding therefrom all executive and

FllK Kadicals take a groat deal of
credit to themselves for repealing tho
salary grab law a law that thoy en
acted aud which the indignation of tho
people compelled them to ropeal. "Tho
willin' little cuss'' who Is running fur
congress ou the Radical ticket in this
district pocketed a good deal ol the
swag nnd is determined to "face it
out."
Ci.i:mi:nts' Mound City Convention
was not regularly organized. Tlio call
for it did not name thu hour nt which it
would be convened ; and it was called
to order before tho Alexander, Joliu-
son or Randolph county delegations
had arrived. No credentials were nec
essary to obtain a scat. It was a free
and easy sort of an affair, it had no
opinion, aud Capt. Kelly could not got
it to open its mouth.
Tiik Metropolis Tniicsfs, says Mc
Cartney, itsablo editor, "00100110 iu
character." This is tho most cheerful
information wo have had for many
years. Wo were of tho opinion Tho
Times wai camcleon in character, nnd
changed its huo in every shade of
light. Wo believed Tho Times was
loose in character aud managed to drop
whero tho "fruit" was thickest. Wo
arc glad to bo undeceived. It give3us
pleasure to know that Tho Times is
eclectic in character.
TllK Sun don't understand. Mr.
Clemcuts, "tho willin' little cups," is in
favor of tho enactment of tho civil
rights bill. His party is in fuvor of
the enactment of tho bill. All the uo
grocs in tho laud, inn mistaken notion
that it will give them equality with
whito people, arn in favor of its enact
mont. This bill is a very dangerous
bill. Wo do not fear it becnuso it has
bcon charged that after its enactment
tho negro will be the social equal of tho
whito man. Wo know that equality of
no kind can he enforced by legislation.
Wo fear it, because, instead of its giv
ing pcaco to tho couutry, it is likely to
introduce the torch, tho sword and tlio
bludgeon ; because it is a daugorous
iiurpation of power by tho federal
govcrnmout; because it will do moro
to degrude and brutalize the colored
mau than it will. do to Jlovato aud re
fine him. Mr. Clements must stand
trial upou his advocacy of tho civil
rights bill.
Tun Mound City Journal intimates
that S. V. Wheeler, Ksq., of this city, is
an iuflatiou Domocrat. If this is truo,
wo will never again try to got in tccord
with Wheeler. Wc havo been trying
to agree with him iu politics for eight

ANDERSON'S FKKE CAR BRIBE.
From the Uenton Htanilard.
Thcra it a report which it eainlni! some
thing of n circulation, that Oun. An Jeron
offered tho farmer dclegstct of thu county
a free car from JIoLenniuoro to uarmi,
the place whnro tho congrculonal conven
tion was held. Tbli report, wo auppom,
got Into circulation from omo s'.atumont
that wuro made by tho friends of Ander
on In tho convention hold horo on tho
26lh ult,to appoint drlegaloi to IhoOurml
convention.
Wo deotn It butluitlco to Oen. Andor-
ion to fv. In viuw of tho fact lht tho
proceeding! of nuoh convention woro rlrt
UblilaCtl It ino ommiAru, inn io uivo
t from what wo conildor a rollaulo uurc,
that Anderson did not otTor a villi: car to
tho delciiatct from thli county, but mere
ly lent Information thittbedelojatoi from
Jetienon county to tins i;artni convention
had chartered n ipoclal train to tako them
at rftducvl ralei, and, tnat it tna ueiegaioi
from thin county woun meot that spoclal
train at AicLraniboro,tney could uo car
ried to uarmiana uscic cnoaper man to
ride enj-.he regular trains. Tl e rcpirt, If
uch it tho true ttntement, grow out of a
oiltunderitanding in tlio convention horo,
no doubt,
Rkmaiiks. Tun Bum.ktin made
the charge that Gen. Anderson had fur
nished free cars, to and from his Carmi
convention, to the delegates of Frank
liu county. Wc made tho charge upon
tho authority of what appeared to us to
bo an official report of tho proceedings
of tho Farmer' convention of Frauk
lin, called to appoint delegates to tho
Carmi convention, published in The
lieiiton Standard. Ono of tho mem
bcrs of that convention, in his place,
stated that ho had bceu authorized to
say that Gi'.i. Anderson had procured
a car for the use of tho delegates, who
would bo taken to Carmi aud returned
without payment of any fare.
But now comes The Standard and
says 'Oen. Anderson did not oifer'a
freo ctr to the Frankliu county delo
gates, 'jut merely sent information that
tho Jtflerson couuty delegates had
chartered a spocial train." Wo havo
also received a privato letter from a
friend assuring us that this is tho
fact.
We have made tuls stutoniontiu jus
tico to Oen. Anderson. Tho evidence
thus far heard, acquits thu General of
tho charge of free car bribery, but we
would liko to know tomcthiug about tho
contract for tho special train. Didn't
the General, who is ono of tho In
dependent Reformers who believo the
offico ought to seek tho man
and not tho man tho office,
obtain, cither by himself or agent, that
train, to curry Anderson's delegates to
tho convention ? and didn't tho Gen
oral pay something for that train? We
have been told liu did ; but if ho
didn't thcu indeed is he not guilty of tho
ohargo of free car bribery. Wc hope
ho is not; but it is just possible, that
tho General's anxiety to havo tho of
fico of representative in Congress seek
him for of course ho is uot seeking it
inducep him to pay a small amount
for those cars. Since the fall of
Becchcr, wo aro inclined to believo
that " the flesh " is weak.
