Our next Congresional Candidate
Editor Palladium: .
X,' the amateur qaill drtrer of
ho Independent, ia assured that
Y' ia on no extensive rampage.
has not bis equanimity, disturbed,
and that be has not yet to learn re
crimination objurgation not to be
refutation.
This latter piece of information
was fully comprehended by him,
when 'X' was nestling in his small
clothes.
Y is unwilling that this peace.-
ful community shall have its quiet
disturbed, by a set of colicky pat
riots, and made to believe that the
earth is tnoviug, becouse a couple
of wounded fledglings failed of,
having their political ; aspirations:
gratified.
If the public must ha subjected
to tue necessity of listening to a
free UowL, they should know the
probable origin of the discordant
music.
Y ' will endeavor to come down
to work, and meet the insinuations
of 'X,' for no proof has been at
tempted even to substantiate the
implied charges.
It should be particularly noted
that among all civilized people, the
accused is most certainly entitled
to have evidence submitted ta sup.
port of the charges on which he is
arraigned, before judgment is ren
dered against him .
Is this not plainly the correct
method of precedure, Mr. 4X' and
Mr. Sigma?
And when 'Y characterises, in
terms loss harsh tban would be
justified by the provocation, such
unmanly attacks on Jude Wilson
attacks and charges, without any
word of proof to support them and
made in an anonymous aad a very'
weak and thin whangdoodle, Sig.
ma volunteers to give Y' advice,
as to how tbe latter should conduct
the discussion!
Y simply rejoins that the cold
weather of the latter part of Janu
ary, was suffocating tropical sum
mer, compared with the coolness
of Sigma' a impudence, and further
ants for the Postofflce requested '
and urged the displacement of Mr.
Isca Julian. Secondly, It is as
serted to the Judge's prejudice
thathega7e assurances to a 'per
sonal friend' of his, and a particu
larly intimate and sympathising
friend of X' that he, the aforesaid
'personal' should draw tbe prize.
How far such assurances were giv
en is unknown to the writer, but
some other matters are not hidden
from 'Y.' namely, that when such
encouragement was given, friends
of Judge Wilson who claim -to
know, assert, that he was indueed
to look favorably on the 'person
al's' pretentions, by a misrepresen
tation of facts a false coloring of
disputed points, and by a mistate
lient of popular sentiment, ' 'To
what extent the 'personal' friend'
was responsible far sncn misrep
resentations, is left for himself to
decide.
When that 'personal friend was
asked why he did not get np pe
titions and letters from some lead
point of view, to make any change
is quite another matter, and pre
sents an opening for discussion.
Neither tbo Judge, nor Davis
had anything whatever to do with
the removal of the Postofflce, and
whether any change in the P. M.
had been made or not, the Pobtofs
Gee would have been removed .
Tbe representative of the Gen .
Postofflce, Mr. Binghnrst is author
ity for this statement. .
' Next in order for consideration,
comes the lame duck and wounded
invalid 'X.'
; Had Judge Wilson seen proper
to re-instate him in bis former of
ficial position, the strong probabili
ty .is, that this 'mixed up patriot'
would have been able to see ability
and great fitness in the Judge's re
election. And ' just here the very
natural question arises, when did.
our M. Cs. inability to cope witli
that bawling ass, Gooding, become
apparent.
4Y" meekly ventures the guess
that if our "personal friend" had

YV positive knowledge were vol

will f elect his own advisers. -
In the first place Judge Wi!sou
might plead not guilty; to the uns
proved insinuations of 'X' and
ask for an intelligent jury to try
his case, but so far as the Judee
is represented by 'Y' he waves all
technicalities, and is willing to go
to trial before the public on the
general merits of hia cause.
Y has not the charges of X
before him, but he lias a sufti rient-
ly correct impression of them to
warrant an intelligible reply.
It is but proper to premise that
thft writer has had no communica
tion with tbe Judge, either orator
written, since the meeting of Con
gress, and that he docs not volun
teer a defense of our M C at his
instance or even with hi know
ledge, and that the v fact stated
are as much in the interest of jus
tice, truth, and fair play, as for the
benefit ol any one personally.
First, our M. C. denies most
emphatically, ever having said or
promised any one, that he would
not use his influence to have th?
late Postmaster removed. When
spoken to on the subject by Mr.
Geo. W. Julian, Judge Wilson
simply remarked that he had not
made any efforts in that direction.
that he had not seen the President
on tne subject, and that he had
not made up his mind on the re
moval or that at least, as it was a
local matter, he would leavo the
decission of the question mainly
with the people directly interested.
Is it not possible that Mr. Julian,
if he starts diffcreutlr from the
foregoing, is simply mistaken.
At any rate Judge Wilson is en -titled
to tbe full benefit of bis dis
claimer, and the presumption is
strongly in favor of the truthful
ness of the Judge's ctatement. He
avers that when approached in re
lation to the removal, what Is giv
en above as his reply, is strictly
true, at the time referred to,
Subsequent to Mr. Julian's leav.
ing Washington, it is not unknown
to most oltizens of Richmond, that
the friends of all the four aspir
some influence, he offered to
Davis' chances .
Now it is submitted to a candid
public to delirratne how far the
Judge was bound in honor or aay
other way, to have the 'personal
frieud' nominstcd to the Senate,
after becoming satisfied that he
had been made the victim of mis
placed confidence.
. Still further, the writer knows
that Judge Wilson was given very
impressive written notice, that if
he should have : his 'personal
friend' nominated to the Senate,
sueu would be the outraged feel
ings of the people who had not
a3ked the appointment, Indiana's
senators wouM lie telegraphed to-
not to confirm the nomination, till
a cood bealthv Dctition oa-sisst
the confirmation, would - be !
promptly sent in, signed ;by the
friends of Davis snd Strsttan,
It thus appears, that however
much Judge Wilson may have de
sired his 'personal friend' appoint
ed, it was not in his power to have
the thing consummated.;
- Why blame the Judge for not
doing what the people did not
want donej and further, what it
was completely beyond his control
to "have accomplished?
Thirdly, it is claimed that the
Judge hooted at the notion oi
having Davis appointed. For the
sake of argument, admit that he at
first considered such appointment
out cf the question, does it iujuri
ously reflect on either his honor,
integrity or wisdom, if after ascer
taining, subsequent!', that he had
been wrongly impressed regarding
the wishes of the public, he recon
sidered his determination formed
on insufficient evidence?
B. Strattan's friends almost to a
man preferred Mr. Davis' appoint
ment to that of any of the other
claimaints and the Judge was so
advised
What reasonable, sensible per
son can blame Ihe Judge for be
ing governed by the plainly ex
pressed preference, of an admitted
y large majority of those who took
any part in tbe eanvass ?
Whatever difference of opinion
therefore, there may honestly be,
as to the proper person for the po
6ition, it would seem , tolerably
clear, that there was great unanim
ity of sentiment as to who should
not have tbe appointment namely
he 'personal friend.'
It is known to Y and others,
that tbe Judge, when ready to make
a change, felt constrained, to make
the choice he did, unless popular
sentiment was to be entirely ig
nored.
Wherein, then, consists the
Judge's offence? His mistake was
not in not appointing the 'personal
friend,' but forming his conclusion
on lnsumcient testimony, ana as
some of his friends claim, on falsi
fled evidence, and wrong informa
tion. -
Whether It was wiscin a political
and Mr. X" bad secured his for
mer assesorship this tfflcted com
munity would have been spared
the tribulation of listening to the
music of "X" and "Sigma."
Tbe people cannot be expected
to run wild over the sufferiags, ot
two or three crippled soldiers? who
served in the home guardl
Exactly in what tender place
the Telegram is hnrt, "Y" has no
means of knowing. Can it bo pos
sible that its Editor is miffed at a
brother editor's having drawn a
well meiited and long deferred
prize! It f to be hoped that he ia
not so wanting in generous mag
nanimity.
It docs not appear, however,that
the wounded, tribulatcd and
otherwise annoyed patriots, are as
numerous, as the noise they make,
would seem to indicate.

A Daring Aeronaut,
Young Donaldson, who made a
balloon ascension at Reading,Pa.,
on the 30th of August' last, and
performed a series of trapeze feats
when a mile or more . from the
earth, repeated his thrilling per
formance in Norfolk, Va., on Mon-.
day last. There was no basket to
the balloon, but its place was sup
plied by a trapeze similar to those
used by circus performers, and'
above the trapeze was placed a
hoop, secured to which was a

Second having placed myself
right on the dogmi, I come to
speak of it histoiic tl vnluo I
believe tht the digrna, as I have
staled itr has saved the world and
dono more than anything else to
mould modren society. If Christ
as been a mere man, a great re
former, the changes he introduc
ed would have died out, and his
voice, though it spoke in clarion
tones, yrould have died into a very
dim and distinct echo long before
this. The Chuch was built on tbe
divinity of Christ; it would not
have snrvived if it bad not been.
and the Church saved the seeds of
the new civilization from among
the ruins of the world. Luther nd
Calvin, tbe martyrs, and all tbe
giants of those early times were
but the henchmen of Christ. They
were His servants, and He made
them, and in His promise to be
with them, and in full power of
God to help, they were born into
heroes and martyrs.
Ia the third place, I want to
speak of the value of this dogma
in personal religion. Dear friends, .
to whom are we invited to go for
help in our troubles? To whom
do wc naturally go for consolation?
God is very vague; we have, we
can have no distinct conception of
Him. But Jesus that is, that
manifestation of God which eame
upon the earth and went through
the whole gamut of our troubles-
He is our friend, and He tells us
to come to Him. Shall we do it?
He says he is tho Shepherd. Can
you get beyond the Shepherd, or
do you want to? He says He is the
Door. You tell me yes; but the
Door is not the Temple. True;
but is it not a part of the Temple
and so important a part of the
Temple that without the Door the
Temple itself is worth nothing.
He says.-Come unto me, Ac Again.
If ye will ask anything in my name
I will do it.' I might quote in
definitely, bnt that is enough.
