Commissioner of Agriculture.
Among the more important appoint
ments which will undoubtedly be made
by President Garfield is that of Com
missioner of Agriculture. Since the re
cent vote in Congress to make the office
a Cabinet position greater prominence
has been given it and has brought to the
front a great number of applicants. The
gentleman most prominently mentioned
in connection with it, and the name
which by a marked degree of unanimity
on all sides seems to have been asso
ciated with it, is that of the well
inown Massachusetts Congressman, Dr.
George B. Loring. Although the
Doctor has in past years declined the
position on account of its narrow scope,
liis friends, believing him most admirably
suited to it, are very anxious to see him
at the head of the Department. Among
other influences are the Nev England
Agricultural Society, the Farmeis' Club
of the Cooper Institute of New York, by
resolution and petition of its members,
and numerous local agricultural societies
of New England and the North, together
with Congressmen representing agricul
tural districts of the South. Dr. Loring
Las been closely identified with agricul
tural interests for the past twenty-five
years, having been a warm friend and
co-worker with the late Professor Agassiz,
and his appointment to the position
would seem to be an eminently fitting

General Mahone, the new Senator from
Virginia, gave notice to the frowning;
Bourbons of the Senate yesterday that
they need not count him in their roll.
He declared himself a free and independ
ent man, sent by the people of Virginia
to promote their interests and that of
the country as he deemed best A look
at the faces of his Bonrbon listeners was
enough to satisfy the most casual observer
that they knew they had found a
man they could neither intimidate nor
cajole. The Senator from Virginia placed
himself squarely on the record yesterday
as a friend of the Government, and an
enemy of the reactionists. He came to the
Senate despite the fiercest opposition of
the Bourbons, and he spurned their im
pudent claim made through Senator Hill
thatheowed them the slightest allegiance.
The manly and patriotic position as
sumed by General Mahone, with the
hearty approval of his constituents, sent
a pang through the Bourbon side of the
Senate, for it was the knell of their power.
He made good what Senator Conkling
said on Friday when he claimed that
with a full Senate the constitutional ma
jority would not be with the side repre
sented by Senator Pendleton.
The Senate, as well as the House, is now
in accord with the administration. Of
course the action of General Mahone does
not pledge him to the support of any
specific measure in the future, but better
than that it gives the county proof that
patriotism will be his guide, and -that
Bourbon conspirators against law, ene
mies of fair elections, and obstructionists
who, if they could, would stop the wheels
of government if not allowed to rule, will
find in him a resolute and outspoken an
tagonist. The warm welcome given
to General Mahone on the administration
side was proof that a law-abiding Demo
crat, who has the courage to fight the
Bourbons, who disgrace the name of De
mocracy, will find Republicans at the
North ready to do them honor.

"We believed in his honesty,his patriotism,

have given much space to the presenta
tion of facts and arguments in favor of a
full co-operation between the Liberals led
by General Mahone (half of whom are
Republicans) and tho Republican party
of the State. The remarkable scene in
the Senate yesterday is a vindication of
The Republican's course. The gallant
Senator from Virginia has verified our
predictions and justified our opinions.
Now let us see a Republican who will ad
vocate a Bourbon-Republican side-show
in order to throw Virginia to the Bour
bon Democracy.
Now let us see any Republican who
will advise the President to disregard the
counsels or doubt the information he may
receive from the administration Senator

A Model of Bourbon Fairness The
Shoe-String District in Mississippi.
In the State of Mississippi, which was
the first in the South after the war to
substitute brute force for voting as the
road to political power, there is a con
gressional district known as the Shoe
string District. This designation comes
from the fact that when the bull-dozing
Bourbons took the State by the shot-gun
plan the mob-chosen Legislature, in
gerrymandering the State into congres
sional districts, decided to create one dis
trict which should embrace all the coun
ties along the Mississippi River, which
were chiefly populated by negroes, and
all the other districts would then contain
a majority of white voters. This was
done, and as the one negro district was
merely the river-side counties, from one
end of the State to the other, long and
narrow, it was called the "Shoe-string
District." There was in this district a
colored majority of about 17,000 votes, to
say nothing of the white Republicans
who may have braved the dangers of Bour
bon domination to maintain their resi
dence there.
When the Bourbons saw what they had
done they repented them of the remnant
of decency of which they had suspected
themselves, and proceeded by felonious
methods to take, steal, and cany away
the free gift they had made. Hence the
presence of Chalmers in the House of
Representatives and the absence of John
R. Lynch.
Mr. Lynch proposes this time to con
test the seat of Mr. Chalmers. The fol
lowing statement of this contest is ob
tained from Mr. Lynch himself. If free
government is not a mockery Mr. Lynch
will be sustained by all respectable repre
sentatives of Doth political parties. It ap
pears that in spite of obstructions and
hinderances on the part of the election
officers, which resulted in the disfran
chisement of thousands of Republican
voters, the whole number of votes polled
for member of Congress was 21,172, of
which number Mr. Lynch claims to have
received between 15,000 and 16,000. In
the counties of Adams, Claiborne, Jeffer
son, Washington, and Wilkinson there
were not less than 5,000 votes counted and
returned for Chalmers that were polled for
Lynch. Giving Chalmers thebenefit-of
these frauds, the vote of the district as
returned by the precinct inspectors to
the county commissioners was as fol
lows: Lynch, 10,915; Chalmers, 10,
237. After the party managers
saw that Chalmers was defeated in spite
of the frauds that were committed in his
behalf, they then appealed to the county
commissioners to throw out votes enough
to return him elected any way. Of course,
the appeal was not in vain. The com
missioners in seven counties threw out
6,607 votes 5,522 for Lynch and 1,085 for
Chalmers. Two thousand and twenty
nine Republican and twenty Democratic
votes were thrown out in Warren county
for the alleged reason that they had a
printer's dash on the face of the ballot
Although the same kind of tickets were
used throughout the district and in many
other parts of the State by Republicans,
Democrats, and Greenbackers, jTet they
were thrown out on account of the print
er's dash in no county but Warren.
Chalmers charged that the dashes
were put on the tickets so as to enable the
colored men who cannot read to distin
guish the Republican from the Demo
cratic ticket. This charge has been
completely and effectually disproved by
the testimony that has been taken. But
even if this charge were true, it could not
have operated to the disadvantage of
Chalmers, for the reason that every pre
cinct in that county and every county in
the district were supplied with large num
bers of counterfeit tickets. The only dif
ference between these tickets arid the
genuine Republican tickets was that they
had on them-the" name of Chalmers for
Congress instead of Lynch. In the city
of Vicksburg Chalmers had a ma
jority of 129 votes, 111 of which
were polled for him in the
First Ward. The Republican tickets
polled in that ward were all received,
counted, and returned as lawful, although
they were exactly like those that were
declared by the same board to be unlaw
ful. If all of the other wards of the city
and precincts of the county had given
large Democratic majorities no ballots
would have been thrown out In Coa
homa County the vote between Lynch
and Chalmers, as returned by the pre
cinct inspectors, was, as follows : Lynch,
1,235; Chalmers, 594. As returned by the
commissioners to the Secretary of 'State,
the vote stood: Lynch, 352; Chalmers,
225. This is the vote of Friar's Point
preciuct alone. The commissioners re
jected and suppressed the returns from
all the other precincts for the alleged
reason that the election clerks, agreeably
to instructions, no doubt, failed to send
up with the returns a list of the names
of those who voted. In Issaquena
County the vote between Lynch and
Chalmers, as returned by the inspectors,
was as follows : Lynch, 1,118 ; Chalmers,
173. As returned by the commissioners
to the Secretary of State the vote stood:
Lynch, 333; Chalmers, 59. This is the
voteofMayersville precinct alone. The
others were all thrown out for the same
reasons assigned by the commissioners
in Coahoma. In Bolivar County the re
turns from three precincts were thrown
out 736 for Lynch and 102 for Chalmers.
But these law-abiding (?) commissioners
seem to have found even another reason
for the rejection of votes. In certifying
to the result of the election at the Boli
var Landing precinct, for instance, the
election inspectors used the following
language : " John R. Lynch received 311
votes; James R. Chalmers received 45
votes." The commissioners decided
to reject the returns from that
precinct because the inspectors
failed to state for what office Lynch and
Chalmers were candidates. J-n Jefferson
County the vote of the Rodney precinct,
the only one in the county at which there
was a fair and honest election, to use the
language of the Vicksburg Herald, was
shot-gunned out that is to say, the in
spector who had been selected to carry
the box to the county seat was overpow
ered on the road by armed men, and the
box, with its contents, taken away from
him and destroyed. Votes were also
thrown out in Adams and Washington
Counties on account of unimportant
technicalities. In support of the charge
of fraud the testimony is positive and
conclusive. That from Adams County
alone cover 309 pages of legal-cap paper.
Should the case go to the Elections Com
mittee for examination General Stewart
L. Woodford, of New York, will represent
Mr. Lynch.
t
The Georgia Bull in the Senatorial
China Shop.
Mrs. Partington said of her erratic son
Isaac that whenever he opened his
mouth he put his foot in it. Every pub
lic body, as well as every family, has its
enfant terrible. Such a visitation has the
Bourbon part' in the Senate in the per
son of the great Boanerges from Georgia
Senator Benjamin Hill. That doughty
champion of the past age rose to his full
height yesterday. Perhaps he had never
had so grand an opportunity to break
things before. He swung his horns as
only a roaring bull can do, and pawed the
ground as if he had been bedecked with
gayest ribbons at a county fair.
He had a mission. The strictly
confidential manner in which General
Mahone, of Virginia, had thrashed the
Bourbons of his State in 1879, resulting
inhis election to the United States Senate
in opposition to Senator Withers, the
Bourbon caucus nominee, had prevented
Senator Hill from a real knowledge of
the facts. He thought the anticipated
failure of General Mahone to consort with
Wade Hampton, Bayard, and Vance in
the Senate ought to be brought to light
in time to scare him from such a course.
He scented in the tainted air some op
position br General Mahone to the cau
cus programme of Chairman Barnum's
friends. Only to think of it ! Here was a
Senator from the State of Virginia elected
to oppose the Bourbons, and actually in
tent upon standing by the party which
elecfed him. And so Senator Hill
plunged around, and roared, and gesticu
lated, and misrepresented, and threat
ened, and anathematized, until he
thought his big looks and bigger voice
had entirely subjugated the new Senator
from Virginia ; when lo ! to his feet arose
the latter, a fragile and delicate little
figure, less than a hundred pounds in
weight ; but when he spoke there was
such an outpouring of derision, denial,
scorn, sarcasm, indignation, and grand
self-assertion that he electrified the vast
assemblage, astonished the Senate, and
established instantly his strong individ
uality of character before the country.
He is a free and independent Democrat,
bitterly hostile to the criminal methods
by which the bogus Bourbon Democracy
maintain themselves in power in most of
the Southern States. He gave the flat de
nial to Senator Hill's untruthful state
ment thathe was chosen by a Democratic
Legislature. TheLegislature which elected
him was a Readjuster Legislature. He
did not receive the vote of a man who
was not elected in opposition to the
Bourbon or regular Democratic
nominee for the Legislature, and the
Bourbons in the Legislature nominated
and voted for Withers for the Senate.
General Mahone was elected in opposi
tion to the Bourbons, and would not be
justified in co-operating with them in
the Senate. His scathing of Hill will
long be remembered, and the subject of
it writhed visibly under his lash. He is
a plucky, honest, and independent Sena
tor, and his course is the beginning of
the end of Bourbon rule in the South, as
it is the guarantee to Northern Republi
cans that in that section are new friends
who must be respected and trusted.
The country and the South owe a great
debt of gratitude to Senator Hill, of
Georgia, for he gave General Mahone a
fine opportunity, which he improved ad
mirably, to puncture the gasconading
fraud of Bourbonism falsely called De
mocracy of which his antagonist is par
excellence the exponent. When next
the Bourbons send out their Goliah of
Georgia let them pray that he encounter
not the David of Virginia.
The Irish people in this country should
utilize St Patrick's day to raise money in
aid of their great cause, instead of wast
ing it on useless parades. But this is
Pat's weakness. He is doomed, poor fel
low, to the wrong thing.
A, Word to Virginia Republican Con
gressmen. It is said that one or both of the Vir
ginia Republican Congressmen will turn
Democrats because Senator Mahone re
fuses to act with the Bourbons of the
Senate." They are reported as having
threatened to vote with the Democrats
on the organization of the House if Sena
tor Mahone votes with the Republicans
in the organization of the Senate. If
they are Republicans they will piefer a
Republican to a Bonrbon organization of
the Senate, and will be grateful to Gen
eral Mahone for hi3 magnanimity. If
they are base mercenaries, eager only for
the party swill, then they can be relied
upon in consideration of barely enough
to cover the bottom of the trough. If
they are wise they can be relied upon
not to make themselves ridiculous. If
they are fools they may think they can
control the House organization. J-f they
are well informed they know. that Representatives-elect
Paul and Fulkerson, of
Virginia, are sound Readjusters, and that
they arc General Mahone's political asso
ciates .and friends. I-f they are good
arithmeticians thev know that two Lib
eral Readjusters can hurt the Bourbon
party in the House just as much as two
recreant Republican members could do
them good. If they are good travelers
they will not try to get on or off of the
Republican administration express train
between stops. T-f they have been slan
dered we shall be glad of an opportunity
to set them right
Governor Pillsbury, of Minnesota, must
be a man of iron will and great mental
force and decision of character. He has
resolutely held himself back from de
ciding who to appoint to the Senate in
place of Senator Windom until now, and
that he has acted at all is only a rumor.
This is Roman firmness. Some men
would have decided within a week, when
the organization of the United States
Senate was likely to depend upon having
the vacancv filled.

An American Senator.
"An American Senator," named Alfred
Perkins, has turned up in Paris as a great swell.
Who he is or where he comes from the American

lion of the jackass. The papers are full of anec
dotes of this wonderful celebrity, and one of the
most remarkable, which is published in good faith
by Figaro, describes a duel he once fought with an
Indian, who was a colleague of the Hon. Perkins
in the United States Senate, and with whom he
had "a controversy of a violent personal character
in debate." The Indian Senator was killed, of

reputation of the Hon. Perkins was vindicated.

A Breach of Etiquette.
General Hancock did not call at the
White House while at Washington to pay his re

and was therefore guilty of a censurable breach
of etiquette. The President is commander-in-chief
of the army, and no officer, when in Wash
ington, should forget to pay him Hhe formal Yisit
required by custom and courtesy. That General
Hancock was expected at the White House Is
shown by the fact that General Garfield gave in
structions to the doorkeeper to admit no one Fri
day evening unless General Hancock should call,
who should be at once shown to the private par
lor. General Hancock will win no friends by this

General Grant and (he Mexican 3IInIon
John Kuvscll Yonuff.
The facts in regard to General Grant's
connection with a request for the appointment of
John Russell Young to a diplomatic mission are
hese:
Something over a month ago General Garfield
wrote a letter to General Grant, asking him if he
would like to name some one for Minister to Mex
ico. General Grant deferred a full reply to this
knowing that he would be here immediately after
the inauguration. Upon his arrival he was invited
to the White House, and a full opportunity oc
curred for talking the whole matter over. General
Grant said that he had hesitated to present any
name for Minister to Mexico until he knew either
that a change was determined on or that the pres
ent minister, Mr. Morgan, was to be promoted. He
regarded this gentleman as a very competent offi
cer, and one who deserved promotion. With these
explanations he named Mr. Young to President
Garfield as a gentleman whom it would give him
great pleasure to have the President nominate
He looked upon Mr. Young as eminently fitted
for the diplomatic service, and for this particular
position. After his return from his foreign tour he
had been quite anxious to nave Mr. Young sent
either to China or Japan, and of the two he pre
ferred the latter for him. He did not, in saying
this, mean the least reflection on Mr. Bingham.
He found the latter an able minister, and one "who
was doing his Government good service there. But
he thought Mr. Bingham had earned promotion,
and If this was given him it would leave the place
open for Mr. Young. General Grant gave the
President an account pf his observations in Japan
and the course which might be pursued to de
velop that country more rapidly and bring it
into much closer commercial relations with the
United States. Mr. Young has been an observer
with him under the most favorable circum
stances. They had discussed methods by which
the United States could assist Japan in free
ing herself from the commercial tyranny
which England and Russia had long exercised
and were seeking to strengthen. He believed
that Mr. Young -would, as American minister there,
be able to exert a very great influence in the direc
tion indicated. The same line of reasoning ap
plied to China, and he thought Mr. Young would
be able to perform valuable service in China, and
accomplish much in building up commercial in
terest for American merchants, in aiding China
also against England and Russia. He thought it
would be possible to form such relations with China
and with Japan as should finally lead both of these
nations to look to the United States for an alliance,
in case they desired at any time to resist the at
tempted commercial encroachments of European
nations.
In concluding, General Grant said that while
Japan or China has been his choice for Mr. Young,
if neither of those places should be open for him,
he took pleasure, in answer to President Garfield's
request, in presenting the name of Mr. Young for
the mission to Mexico, provided it became vacant.

Claims.
AWashington correspondent of the Cin
cinati Commercial has earned his salarybycare
fnlly compiling a list of the men now at the Cap
ital who have "claims" upon the administration.
It is evident from an examination of the list
that the correspondent has availed himself of the
invaluable statistical abilities of Superintendent
Walker and his Census Bureau. There Is a com
pleteness and systematic arrangement about the
table presented which clearly shows a master hand
and a brain which has successfully grappled with
the new and as yet inchoate science of statistics m
As a matter for future reference this table, below
printed in full, cannot but be of the greatest ser
vice. It is as follows :
Number of men who attended school and col
lege with Garfield 1,900
Number of men who held him in their laps
whilean infant S29
Numberof men who gave himgoodadvice.... 4'M
Number of men who loaned him money in the
happy days of his youth 742
Number of men who recollect rescuing him
from drowning SI
Number of men who pulled him out of a sink
ing hole, into which ha had rolled when an
iih&hv i
Number of men who loaned him horses to ride
t- church 140
Number of men who " knew him when he was
Number of those who recollected to have pre
, dieted that he would some day be President..8,329
Number of captains of canal-boats under
whom Garfield worked as driver of the lead
ing mule 22
Number of men who worked with him in the
canal-boat business 132
Number of editors who " first nominated " him
for the Presidency 830
Number of writers who had editorials written
nominating him, but left out by " pressure of
other matter" C4

Sjpringhas come. But what is spring
to us with no Ohio man in the Cabinet? It is the
very winter of our discontent. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Senator Hill's Anathemas.
To the Editor of The Republican:
The mingled torrent of pleading and im
precation which Senator Hill, of Georgia, poured
upon the head of Mahone, of Virginia, on Monday
last, was a typical production from a source pe
culiarly fecund in blatant and ill-timed invective.
It were well, however, perhaps, that the Senate
has thus been subjected to a baptism of rhetoric
after the true Bourbon ritual. In listening to
Hill's passionate and artful attempt to frighten
and divert Mahone, Senatora from the loyal North
and West may comprehend somewhat the abuse
and calumny to which ncnsants from Bourbon
Democracy have been subjected in the South. To
appear the least tired of this fading
harlot called Bourbon Democracy is to be guilty
of" treachery," " infamy," and betrayal of" trust'
In very many regions harangues like this with
which the Senatehfs just been startled have found
their logical expression in shot-guns and cruel as
sassination. Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
indulged in similar pastime when, in the last cam
paign, he goaded the Democratic minority in South
Carolina to renewed fealty and z;alous voting by
denouncing Gsneral Loi.gsret from the hustings
as an outcast fit only for the scorn of decent men.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, when in his peerless
wisdom he would have led his stricken people
through the gloom of reconstruction, was made the
special object of Mr. Hill's malevolence. The in
fidelity then of Joseph E.Brown threw in Hill's
estimation a mellow shade over the treachery of
Judas Iscariot Mr. Stephens has experienced the
same consignment to "infamy," so has Emory
Speer, the gifted Independent from Georgia. Pil
lorying him In the press. Hill predicted of Speer,
when he flung aside nis filthy Bourbon rags, that
" political dishonor.dsgradaiion.and death" would
inevitably follow his independence of Democracy,
The cordial Republican greetings to Senator Ma
hone, which followed his fearless deririon and de
fiance of Mr. Hill's twaddle about " treachery," and
"infamy," and "yawning precipice" thrilled to
the coro every loyal Southerner who witnessed
Monday's drama in the United States Senate.
Surely in this pregnant incident may be seen the
glintings of the grander day. Republicanism
(thanks largely to your valuable journal) will not
hng remain the synonym of odium in Virginia,
nor in Georgia, nor In South Carolina. General
Mahone has received on the Senate floor the
genuine and favorite JCu-Klux warning,
the dread threat of social infamy. Let
the whols loyal South rejolcs that he has
dauntljly hurled it back, and following behind
this whiU-plumed Navarre may the sorrows and
tribulations and bitter recollections of the noble
people who have commissioned him fade away
into the " infinite azure of the past." J. R. K.
Advanced TVeatlier Outlook.
To t!e Editor of The Republican:
The map for to-day (March 14) faintly
indicates a new low in the southwest. More sta
tions hr;ugh3ut our Western territory would per
mit us to pick up theie advancing areas of low
barometer at an earlier date, and be of great ad
vantage to us in prognosticating storms. When a
new srea thus s'artsin the southwest it i3 quiteun
ctrtaln what direction it will take. If, however.it
takes its usual northeast course, we may expect a
cold storm here (probablysnow) about the 17th. The
maps of to-morrow will reveal the situation bet
ter. I. P. N.
