It was liken firebell at night, to awake the careless and indifferent vo ters, that wild treasonnhle speech of Hampton. It let the cat out of the bag.

The. uounty convention on Tuesday instructed the delegates to the Senato rial convention to present to that body, for nomination, the name of T. C. Ditn gan. AVithotit reflecting upon any of the other gentlemen whose names have bml mentioned in connection with that nomination, we express the opinion that i there cannot be found in the Iiistrnt a man better fitted than Mr. Dungan for j State Senator. A well-read lawyer, in aeiive praeticc; thonmghly acipiainted with the wants of the people; a ready J and eloquent debater; a man of charac ter and standing, he would make a Senator of whom the Di.-tr.ct might well bo proud. We hope the conven tion may Koueede the Senator to Holt in which case we promise to send Mr. Dungan out of his own county with a majority of four hundred. TIIE SENATORIAL CONVENTION. By notice published elsewhere it will be seen that the Hepublicau convention to nominate n candidate for State Sen ator from this district has been called to meet at Amazonia on the 22d inst., immediately after the adjournment of the Judicial convention. As Judge Kellcy will undoubtedly be nominated for Circuit Judge, we pre sume Andrew county will preseut no name for Senator; nor have we heard any one mentioned from Atchison coun ty, though it is possible that county may have a candidate. Nodaway count v, we understand, will present the name ; of Lvmnn I'archer. and T. C. Duncan is being urged by a largo number of his friends in this county to permit his name used. He will not enter the race, however; yet, should the convention concede the'Scnator to Holt and should he be chosen, we are snre he would accept.

The article headed Pajnnp up," which appeared in the Coming Her a'd last week, created considerable ex citement in certain circle in this city, and several parties who wished to se cure conies of it have requested us to publish it in the Skntinel.

That we supported Mr. Sprin- ger heartily, honestly and consden- tiously; that wo were entitled by every I consideration of honor and gratitude and precedent to whatever patronage ho could control; that we have never or, rather, "hardly ever" received any of it; that we have given him no cause f.r withholding it; that we have uncomplainingly submitted, aud hare , , T m,a Wnnr I IU IO carn in outer uireci ion-an eoiiir- alent to our lossM , thN ,. , tM . k . . . . kn; that wu ,mvc HvC(i nd : our subscription book has giown pletii- M5!souri autricts proves successful, the ' throw ng off on Capt.

It is the concluding portion of a report of the speech of Senator Cockrell, delivered in the 1 Court House in Oregon the preceding evening: He used -such eimvllidiic nrKiiments that a number f IEeptililicans in tlieauilleur: .I.elareil after the ineetlnR was oier that they li.nl ile IKislted their last Itejiulillran vote. A niiiuhcr .irtireenbaekersalsiiliad their eyes opened Hi the fully and utter UHeles!ness of their course, .mil they will go hack to their old alli-glanee to the lieinocraey. It Is eonmiently iireillttcd that Holt county 1II K' HeiiMienitie tins fall liyTSOO majority. Now, the above statements are bare faced falsehoods. Cockrell's t-pcech was a weak affair, which greatly disappoint ed his listeners and certainly nuulo no ... inreets. And as to Holt county glV converts. And as to Molt county grv-1 nga Doni'icratic m ijority of 200 this j fall, it is much more likely to give a Hepublican majority twice that large.

That the Democracy re st ize the dangers of their position is ev idenced by their ficquont meetings for consultation and by the army of speak ers with which they are over running cvvry county. In the present congress the Demo crats have twelve out of thirteen repre sentatives. How this tan b changed in the. next congress, provided all tin opponent: of Democracy unite and work harmoniously together in the procnt canvass, will be seen from the follow ing statements : In the Third congressional District in lt76 the vote stood thus: trust, Dem- j ocrat, 7,2:17; Metcalfe, Hepublican. 5,:lia; Van Dillon, Oieenbacker, -2,-2l3, and Bartholomew, Socialist, 1,140. Thus it will be seen that, if the Re publicans, Greenlmeker- and Socialists unite, there is .-. clear majority against the Democrats, in this ditriet, of 1.435; snd the present indications are that ifici, iiiiik1s will orevail. lesultlllir ill only one candidate agiinst the Demo- ! ll,t'u ..nncnnnn.it ....r. cnitie nominee and his consequent cer ttxin defeat. In the Sixth district in 1RG8 the vole on the candidates for congress was as follows: Democrat, 17,7G9; Hepubli- can, 11,622; Greenback, the Hepublicans and united they would have 11,004. Had ! Greenbackers elected their candidate by n majority of 4,8.r)7. It can scarcely be doubted that they will be wi.-er this -ear, and the gain of an opposition eniigre.-sman from that dis trict may be conlidenth expected. In the Eighth district the Dcnioeratv are rent in twain by a local feud - there being two factions, each with u candi date of its own and each refusing to yield to the other. All efforts thus far to harmonize them have proved fruit less, and it now looks ns if Van Horn, Hepublican, will slip in between them. In this (Ninth) district, Ford, Green backer, was elected two years ago over Ins Democratic opponent by a majority of 1,17:1 votes. Ihi year the prospect is more eneourageing for the opposi tion t an it was in 187H anil the re-election of Ford by an increased majority provided his party friends ae: with pru dence and good sense- -is a foregone conclusion. At another time we will elaborate this point and show the reas ons for the faitirthat is in us. For the t it unfc,cnt to say that Ford's election may be conlidenty- counted on. In the Tenth district the congression al vote in 1878 was as follows: Demo crat, 14,7y:l; Hepublican, 10,875; Green back, d,C82. Here it will bo seeti the united btrength of the Hepublicans and Greenbackers was 1,704 more than the Democrats. This year the Hepublicans and Grecnbae. ers have nooled Issues supporting the Greenback ' " 1 ..,,.,,.. . ..r. - '""C -" taiuty of electing him. The Democrats are badly frightened and concede their danger. In the Twelfth district the congres sional vote two years ago stood thus: Democrat, 12,408; Hepcblieau, 4,57; Greenback, 10,607. So, in this district, there is a clear majority again.-t the Democrats of 2,712; and we are glad to record the fact that the Hepublicans and Democrats have followeU thu ex ample of the opposition in tho Ninth and Tenth districts and are unitedly and heartily supporting Loudon, the Greenback candidate. That he will be eleetcd eau scarcely be doubted, and i this will be a gain of" one more anti-! . . j llourlion. Thus it will be seen that in six of the I thirteen eomrrcssional districts of this ' St!l(c thu Kcl,llblil.!lIls (!rci:I1back. ur3 jmvo tlu strentu, by unitiii t defeat the Denioeraei , and inmost of J these districts they have already join ed their forces for that purpose.

CHAIR, Till: KNOW-NOTHING. For two weeks past the St. .Joseph Herald has kept .standing at the head of its editorial columns the charge that General .lames Craig was a rampant Know-Nothing during the days when that party flourished, and, its he Jus not ilaied to deny the charge, it may be taki-n as cniife.-:l. Citizens of foreign birth who lire in the Ninth district will therefore feel an interest in seeing the oath which persons were required to take before becoming members of that parly. Heroit is: J further drehire and xolemiily swear Ihul 1 trill not knoiringlif voir fur, aji jminl or tied inn person of foreign lirth or a llomau Ottiolic to any ojficc t.j the loeul or gcncrnl ailniini.it ration of the Amcriean Government; ami I further declare anil ftmir that I trill use all the mean in my jwirer to counteract and destroy the in fluence of foreigners and I r. ...... l.n.,i;.. , ;. mlmini'lrnlintinf i ,(C Oovemnent of the United States, and ...71 . f ' any and all parts thereof both local and General.

We commend this oath to the consid eration of our German and Irir-If fellow citizens. .TUDGK JOHNSTON -WITIIDRAAVS. Two weeks ago the Sentinel pre dicted that the failure of Judge John ston to secure a majority of the dele gates from Nodaway county to the Ju dicial convention would cause him to withdraw from the race. That predict ion we find verified hy a card from him which appears in the last issue of the Maryville Hepublican, as follows: A CAI'I). Ens. Rei'viimcan : I wish to fay to my friends tlir.MiKli your paper, that when 1 con sented io become u candidate for Circuit Judge In this district. I coupled with that consent, a, my Utters to many friends in the various coun ties will show, this condition: That I would only accept the nomination on the ground of Its betas the desire of the republican party in this -dlilrirt. and further, that I was firmly opposed to any trlckury elK resorted to, or any umair means bclns emplojcd ta secure the nomina tion.

I sec no wayof repairing the lain.io done me, unless by r?sottlns to means that ought to shame, or by employing tiie "tiift bearing tlreek." To such means I will not resort, to obtain any office or against any opponent, and more eipeclally will I not drag or be the means of dregglni the Judicial ernilur In the mire. I desire to repeat nmt emphatically that 1 can be uo party to any such means, and that I cannot, with any scif-rcspect. accept a nomin ation at the hands of a convention cotiipovi! of members chosen by the inctheds t-mplo ed, as was patent to all.

I therefore return iny thanks to my friends, and hereby decline to allow my name to be used any further with re gard to the pmllioli of Judge of this .Indicia! ,.rcult. T.J. Joiikstox. It will be observed that the Judge is iu a very bad humor over his defeat. His declaration that he "cannot acctjtl a nomination at the hands of a conven tion composed of members chosen by the methods employed," reminds one of the wel known couplet : "I cannot marry you. pretty maid." "Nobody axed you, Sir," she wlil. I'AYINO 171. From the Coming fli. Herald. Sept 4 . 10 The disinterested spectator who from a distaneri may havt ji.wv.l the rcirn- larity with which the Holt Co.

GEN. CRAIG. WliHt ii Democratic I'nprr Knyn. Itlclunond Ocmix-rat, Aigut 19. All the Democratic caudidatis for Congress were in town on Monday Inst, and ddrcssed the people of Hay county. (!en. Crnig wm the lirat siuakcr, and opened his speech by allnding to an article in the Democrat, which declares that the Hay couiitv Democracy would not support Mr. Craig because he had abandoned the IVinocratiu party when it needed help most, and only came back when itneedcdnoh-lpin Missouri. (Jen. Craig admitted that he hxd voted for Lincoln and also for (.rant, and gave as an excuse that he thought it best to he in with thcnilmiuL-lratioii of Lincoln and Crant in order to benefit the people, and cited several instances in which he had his neighbors pardoned by Lincoln. With (Jeneral Craig's peisonal acts we have nothing to do, ' anil if it is right to vote for him now be cause he hail Lincoln to pardon Confed erate t-cldiers, then, if Mr. Lincoln were a candidate, we ought all to vote for him, because all admit that Mr. Lincoln had a warm, loving heart, and it often moved him to acts of clemency. Our charge has never been against (Jen end Craig because ho voted for Lincoln, but because he vo'ed for Grant. Grant never pardoned anybody but whisky thieves, and never bought anybody, according to Gen. McDonald, but those who would help -cnoiuinate him for President. Gen. Craig says they ou;ht f" lm heca use they had forgiv- I ell Gl.V. A OodsOtl, (.OV. Hall, S.-.milel I . Glover, James O. Broadhead.and many others. There is a wonderful difference in the-e cases. While these gentleinim voted for Lincoln, not one of them voted for Grant, hut inanj of them spoke and voted against Grant, and spoku aud vo ed for Seymour, and for Blair. Had Gen. Craig,"wheii the war was ovtr, acted like these distinguished men and quit the Hepublican party on account of its great sins, he, lifc them, would have been forgiven. But unlike thzin, lie went on and assi.-.tcd the Hadical party, when it was a stench in the wis tnls'of such men, to put (.rant into the Presidential ofiice and Colfax iu the second place, when lie knew that they would continue over the Southern peo ple the most infamous and tyrannical ystein the world-hase r known. This same Grant that Craig shouted for in 18G8 removed Gen. Hancock from the command of the department of Louis iana and Texas for issuing the famous onler No.40, and, no doubt, Craig re joiced at the act, for ho was then ap pluuditi the infamies of the Hepublican party, et, to-day, in tho face of these facts, Craig comes before the Democra cy of the Ninth District, and begs them to trust him and give hjm a position after he had so basely betraeil them. And again, Craig denounced the He nublican party for the barging of Mrs Surratt; for its infamous financial poli cy ; for the passage of the reconstruction laws; for its oppression of the Southern people; and yet admitted that when the great isuo before the people was Grant and all that that implied; Seymour, the great Democratic statesman, and all that that implied, he voted for Grant wrli the most positive knowledge of the corruptions and crimes of the Hadical party; he deliberately, without excuse, voted for Grant when the whole Demo cratic part-, North and South, were praying th"e release of the Southern Slates from the infamous carpet-bag governments the Hepublicans had put upon them. Gen. Craig denounced thu in'amy of the tariff act, and yut the platform on which Grant run in '68 demanded its continuance. Gen. Craig told a great many vulgar anecdotes, which the people laughed at. and no doubt theGenerrl thinks because they laughed at them that they were for Craig. Tho General may as well learn one time as another that tho time has passed when :C man dm blackgard him self into Congress 'I he people to-day want a man with brains and chancer and although a man may have been edu cated as a stable hoy and graduated as a bootblack at a hotel as General Craig said he did yet when they aspire to Congress they expect him to outgrow the manners of the stable boy and boot black. We have heard numbers of our citizens, since his speech, says that they will not vote for him, and a few who favored his nomination on tho ground that he was the i-trungest mau, are now opposed to him because thev are find ing out that he is the weakest man on the track. He claims some votes from Hay county when Col. Child leaves the field, but we don't believe there Is a man in Hav county willing to so far misrepresent his party as to vote for Craig at any time, anil to nominate him for Congresss would be practically equivalent to surrendering the district to tho opposition. We are not pre pared to believe that the Democracy of theNinthdistrict arc ready to commit suicide just now. The speeches of Col. Birch, Mr Daw son and Col.

Ltxoo. Hom!s hy Statute. Editok Sestixel:- We have all seen what the utmost efforts of tho Stat utes can do toward making people tem perate. Forty years have pas-ed and hund'etls of millions of dollars hare been expended whi'e enforcing the law to punish the man who sells, not him who bays. Literally nothing has been done. Wc often ask onrselves if wc nre right in trying ti cure all the evils of society by making laws to punish, how dul our ancestors succeed who had not one criminal statute where we have ten? As they, in their day, imprisoned for debt, they might have looked fonvard ' pniphetically and asked: "how will mtr ticseennanu. gei on w.... .... to ini- ( prison for debt? " Wc know . along better than they did. An we get And t-ow ! thuu be debts of honor and lie paid as better to repeal tin most of statutes that make crimes out of innocent acts? Most peo- j P 1,:IV.U Tnnm ideas of the object nf criminal law. They think the grand object is to catch some person violating tkem in order to panish him. The real object is the result to be obtain, d, namely, to make people more and more alikf, or homogeneous. Supj'- wo all drink wine and say it is good to do so- By and hy some few conclude it is an evil. A law is passed to discourage its: manufacture and sale. Its enforcement advertises it so does the attempt to enforce it. In time, if the few were right, we als come to think so and ihe law, never violated, is virtually a dead letter. Murder, larceny, robbery, sla very, assanlt, battery, etc. are recog nized as bad by all civilized society, are abhorrent to all. Human passion, moods, or the vice of dninkcnnos.lead to such crimes. Society properly pun ishes such crimes, to protect the weak against the strong, keep peace, secure canal righ-s. But ou-ht s..ciety to go beyond that ? Ought it not to leave a. vast deal more to public opinion the in fluence of society, churches and the like? Is it right to pile law upon law aswedo? We contend that nothing but the plainest necessity can justify statuablo interference. Right sure we are, after lung study and much reading; on it, that sooicty ought not to punish, one party to a transaction and let the other go free the dram-seller and not the buyer; -tho tickot seller, not the buyer.
