r tnu-(llffhln3fnlrrior3fourn;tl Friday Morning, February 10, 1882 W. P. WILTON, EDITOR " IlKAMNO frcqucnl Intimations that the 'appointment of Mr. John W. Wlilnn. of Caser. as Chairman of Iho Democratic Commlttco ol tlio 8th Cofaercsaional district, was through Hie Infliicnco and in tlio interest of Tuilgo Durham, wo swooped down on 6ol. W. O. Welch, yesterday, know ing' that ho had been tho member of tlio Committee on permanent organi zation in tho Convention from this district, and asked him what ho knew about tho matter. His reply was, in substance, as follows: "As n member of tho Committco to which you refer.it devolved on rao to suggest the name of nu appropriato democrat for tho Chair manship of our Congressional Com mittco and believing that Casey was entitled to it, and that no better or truer democrat or ono who had done more for tho party than Mr. Whipp, could be found, I determined that ho should be tlm roan. I did not consid er tho interests of Judgo Durham or any one elso in choosing him, but act - cd simply on a conviction that ho was emphatically tho right man for the place."'. Wo know of a Lincoln man or so, who would havo liked tho com pliment, and who think that as Col. Welch, is a Lincoln man, he should have given it to them, but we are Euro he did exactly right, and that tho ap pointment will give general satisfaction. The Now York Sun In speaking of tho freo paas bribes says: Some of the most important interests el" the peepk, and tho most important duties of tho courts and legislatures, aro thoso which rclato moro or less closely to tho transportion companies; and it is an unendurable uliatno that our legis lators should deliberate, and our jud ges should hold their court, with theso bribci in their pockets. It is nn outrago upon tho public as well as up on tho stockholders; and in either case, honest men must m'ako up tho cost of carrying tho dead-heads and of per verting justice and corrupting legisla- Tun Louisville Commercial intimates thatvwe get our ideas on the sore-head ib jo. iruiu oriran of We feel in muvemnt ofMcIIenry tho 'Courier-Journal, The the s. h. ra. is mistaken tho matter like all honest men must, that thoso who go into tho convention and thereby agree to abide its decision, act dishonorably when, because their aiatiTVtiot chosen, they refuso to sup port'the nominee. The sore-heads have not only doao this, but they havo nominated a candidate of their own, and gone over horso, foot and dragoon, into tho lines of tho enemy. We are glad to labor with the Courier-Journal in denouncing such traitors, and wo hearlily wish that we could so thor oughly agree with it on every other question. A few days ago, Arthur, president by the grace of Guiteau, unmindful of his obligation with Mahone, sent to tho Senato for confirmation, the name ofa jinan, whom Desendorf, the re publican Congressman from that dis trict, recommended af postmaster of Norfolk, Va. As soon as Mahouo was apprised of this fact he lost no timo toiremind Guiteau's man that he was not living up to his promises, where upon he withdrew tho nomination, falsely charging that a clerk had made the mistake. Mahoue'j mail was then appointed, and now Desendorf is get ting up a protest to be signed by all tho'prominent republicans. Tiik great prize fight betwecu John L. Sullivan and "Paddy Ryan near Mississippi City, Miss., resulted in a victory ior the former, after eight rounds fought in 2G minutes. Tbous of people wero present and over $150, 000 changed hands. Ilyan was ter ribly disfigured, and for some time it was rumored that he was dead. To the credit of tho portion of the coun try reelected for this brutal exhibition, it should be said that the participants wero almost without exception North ern men, tne principals tuemscives hailing, tho ono from cultured Boating and the other from Troy, N. Y. The Hou80 has passed a bill pro viding for the equal distribution of the school money among tho white and , blck children of Greenup county, and if it would make such a law general it would add greatly to its credit. We have all along contended against the injustice done the colored children in the matter of school mon ey, believing that is tho duty of tho State, considering their poverty and limited chances, to givo them at least as much show as the white children. Tin; Headjuster House of Delegates of Virginia has by a voto of 50 to 30 passed tho Itiddleberger bill to repudi iato thirteen millions of dollars of the State debt, and this is ouly tlm ad vauco step towards the repudiation of the entire indebtedness. Accursed bo they would dishonor the proud name of the former grand old Commonwealth. SufATOit Williams covered him self all over with glory in his ipeech on 'the tarifl iniquities, Tuesday. Ho is for a thorough revision of the tarifl laws to conform them with theso piping times of peace, and is unconditionally "opposed1 to' the commission recom mended by the President. Thk Legislature is evidently under tho impression that Mr.. Cook's beau tiful face is fortuue enough, and there frro refuted herjxrtitJouforuii increase of 500 In her salary as Librarian. tion. Judok Gnoitai; W. McGumn, of Rockcastle, a gallant soldier in the Union army,who aroso from a private to a captaincy, said to a CburiCTsTbtir nal intcrviower: Tho chnrgo that Gen. Wolford's having been a Union sol dier contributed to his defeat is tho vsricst nonsense. Indeed, his very brilliant record as a Union soldier and his magnanimous conduct toward the ex Confederates after the war. were tho two things which made him tre mendously popular and came with an ace of giving him tho nomination. Si'KAKixo of the sorehead move ment, tho Lebanon Standard gives this good advice: "If any who in tho past have been democrats aro no lon ger eatisfled with their party, we counsel them to go boldly over to tho enemy, with colors flying and drums beating, rather than creep into this half-wny houso of the bolters. It is a moro manly and straightforward course, and comes to the same thing in the end." TnE Louisville Commercial is beg ging tho republicans to support Jacob for Clerk of the Court of Appeals, aad advising its party leaders not to put out a candidato in that race. That paper well knows that the sore-head movement is entirely in tho interest of its party, and that tho so-called in dependents will after tho inglorious defeat that awaits them, vote -ever af ter with the .strictest sect of republi cans. The Governor, taking a sort of a snap judgment on tho Slate and wish ing to nir his importance nt the great centennial at Yorktown, induced a number of officers to pledge the pay ment of the expenses of the trip. The Legislature has very justly refused to raid on the treasury for the unneces sary expense, and the pledgers should be mado to pony up at once. Mtsa Mattie Bronston, the very accomplished sister of the editor, Mr. Joe. S. Bronstou, will hereafter be as associated with him in the editorial department of the Richmond Jferald. Wo welcome her to the charmed cir cle, knowing that she will not only add to it a sprightly and a cultivated mind, hut give it grace and beauty. Gen. GitANr is having a lot of brum medals mado to present to each of the 806 that stood by him in the Chicago Convention. They weigh over a pound each, and are to be worn to a string tied around the neck. Wont one friend W. 0. B. look too utterly utter when he gets his on ? The bill before the Legislature to create a Superior Court is evidently a job in the interest of some broken down lawyers. It will cost an imme diate outlay of $25,000, and act only as an encouragement to the Court of Appeals to continue in its slothful ness. Ciiaddock is just giving his readers a dose of his trip to Atlanta more than six weeks ago. The Kentuckian is a newspaper, and don't you forget it. LEGISLATIVE.
