houses were fer Johnson. A number of
sensible, practical and intelligent men of
that party, greatly interested in internal
improvements, and looKing to the material
welfare tho State rather than to the old
political divisions, were bitterly opposed
to him, for they saw that ho would have

the Radical members held the balanco of
power. They could not woleet their own
candidate, but they «ould either elect
Johnson or his oponent. They unitedly
refused to vote for Etheridge, and declared
that unless some man not objectionable to
them was named, they would voto for
Johnson. The sensible Conservatives
then asked theso Radicals to meet in

They were asked to name a man for whom
they would be willing to voto, aud one of
them named Henry Cooper, and every one

The Hamilton taction are very uncer-
tain as to who they want for Lieut. Gover-
nor. They find it a most difficult matter
to decide upon any positive candidate, and
no wonder, for the fact is, they are in
doubt as to wether or not, they are a par-
ty. They appear to be troubled with a
soit of Wall street speculating mania for
selling out, aud buying in, and like dis—
honeeted brokers, taking advantage of
others capital, to attain their own selfish
and personal ends Regardless a'ike of
honnor, principle, and courtesy, they tram-

and justice, to the most selfish motives,

the government, strict economy is enforc-
ed iu evory department, and tho public

Boulds Baker, who in turn was disposed

to bo elected Governor, has been assert-
ing that tho President told him ptiv*te!y
that "ho hoped he | Dent | would he elec-
ted," but "ho conld not ssy this openly
lest the whole radical party should jump
on him like wild cats." To this story the
President replies by showing eopies of his
letters-to Dent, warning him that the
nomination was simply a trick of the old
rebels to regain power, and that tho Pres.
ident would support Alcorn energetically.
This may be a proper occassion to re-
mark that President Grant does not seem
to bo altogether fortunate in his family
connections. With Corbin in business,
and Dent in politics, eaoh trading on his
relationship, and setting afloat damaging
stories, tho one alloying speculative and
the other political knavery, tho President m

NO 14 our rrfl80Ut Constitution was tho work of
less than thirty days. To such as were
not familiar with tbcorgnuio law of other
S'atcs, or whose daily avocatioiia had not
tot-on of Buch a character as to have
brought tho defccts of the Constitution of
1864 or 1834 to their notice, this was not
a sufficient time to havo carefully consider-
ed thu Constitution in all its bearings- In
tiiis hasto it seems to have been entirely
overlooked, that tho Probato and County
Judges were bo appointed by the Gov-
ernor We havo talked with sevoral mem-
bers of tho convention, and havo u§ver
found one, as yet, who for ono moment
droamcd the County aud Probate Judgos
would not be eleeted by the people, as hud
been their oustom. Of course some
changes wore intended, but this was not
ono of them. It is fair to presume, that
there are at least three men w each county
who would be pleased to bo appoiuted to
this position, and any man of ordinary in-
telligence must havo known that ho made
enemies of two mcu, aud at best could only
socuro ono by desiring this ajipimiting
power.
Again, the fifth section ofarticlo hftHenth,
of our Constitution, was not intended to
confer a perpetuul'appointing power of the
officors therein named upon tho gwernor.
The judieiarv clause of tho •constitution
provides that the Justicos of tho Peace
shall bo eleoted. and that clause of the
Constitution that says "The term of office
of all township and precinct efficprs shal
expir-o thirty days after this Constitution
goos into effect, and the Guvomor shall
thereafter appoint such officers, whoso term
shall ooniinuo until the General Assembly
8lmll provide by law for an cloetion of
' said officers," was merely to supply those
officers until tho Genoral Assembly should
meet and provide for thoir eleotion. To

Reform is a favorite catchword i^Mi the
Democratic politicians. Always before
an election we have it harped upon, and
all tho changes rung upon it by their edi
tors and stumpers, great and small. The
public money is being sqiinndorefl, and
they are just the men to stop the leaks;
extravagance runs riot iu all departments
of tho Government, and they alone are ca
pable of substituting e perfect system of
economy ; tho taxes are not being collec-
ted, rascally "ring" control Government
officials, and they alone art possessed of
immacul ite such purity that no "ring"
would have the effrontery to come into
their presence with even the thought of a
corrupt proposition.
This is their plan when they arc out
of office and want to get in*
Put them in and tho whole thing is
changed at once. They have nothing more
to say abftut economy or reform in the
administration of the Government. Not
a word about the reduction of expenses, or
