Thanks be given, these two doyen arc worth a thousand that stand back looking for place or an action to criticize.

IGNORAMUS AGAIN. To the Editor of the Telephone : My blundering inquiry as to why McKinney was the only man in the county released from worry on the late plunder of the county treasury, has been quoted,in convenient parts, to the seeming comfort of our Democratic friends. They were "not looking for help from such a source," yet it is only by the votes of these "hundreds of Republicans'"" that they can hope to cany the county. I inquired not because I wanted to give or with hold comfort to any one, but because, like a good many others, I wanted to know. We are all thankful for some knowledge received since then. The Democrats are charging by insinuation, that others are responsible for the McKinney theft, among them our Commissioners, Republican managers and

oliicials, and by inference our

prospective candidates. If this is

so, people ought to know it. We believe the charge ,is injust and should be shown to be injust. For this reason I think, with the Telephone, that McKinney should be given a chance to tell in a court of justice, all of the terrible "too much" which he is said to know,and also with which he "defies yon, gentlemen." If it can be shown, even in reasonable probability, that the Republican party, or its managers,

officials and candidates are shielding McKinney from trial a ad punishment in order to shield themselves from exposure, and the party mSehinery is to be used for .that end, for one I can vote the Democratic ticket. Though it will- be like a dose of calomel, I think I ean shut my eyes and swallow it, in such a dreadful state of our pol tical body. But the Republican party will go to the people with fainter with good we;, and with the responsibility for the McKiuney robbery exactly where if brfvmjsi then reasonable voters are not going to vote against Mr. Clatnan, or some good Republican

for Sheriff, because Law son E. McKinney stole money from the treasury. I acknowledge the indiscretion of saying that if we are afraid of truth and justice we sire no better than the Democrats, and the skies would better fall on us. I still think so, and our friends are welcome to this grain of co.ufort. And this suggests the remark that when the Rcpuclican parry becomes no better, in this respect, than the Democratic party has been for thirty years, it ought to hare left at least enough good sense and pat riotism to give up the ghost. It seems that we can hardly expect the Democratic pr.rty to conduct a fair campaign. Already the boomerang has sprung back. It looks now as if their unfairness and misrepresentation may be relied upon to keep the Republican column up to its full size. Republican voters indorse your course, Mr. Editor, in insisting that if theie is anything more to know about this stolen money the people have a right to know it; that the crim inal a id not innocent persons, should be punished, and that this is the way to hold our own with the enemy in the county fight. One class, who count conscience as an element in voting, like many Republicans, will not feel that your course is very hopeful to the other side. Ignoramus. WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special t'orrespc udenee. Wasiiixgtox, D, C, Feb. 15, 18S4, The Senate sub-committee on the Danville, Va., massacre, commenced tbe examination ol witnesses on Thursday last. While the evidence so far does not cleaih establish the fact that the massacre was premeditated, and intended tc fire the southern heait and intimidate the colored voters, it is established bevoud question that the whites were armed and ready, while the negroes, unconscious of danger,were entirely unarmed. Not only so but it appears that but one white man was wounded,. and that slightly, by another white man, while several negroes were killed outright and many wounded, four of whom died from the effects of their wounds. Fear keeps many from testifying to what they know of the affair, while it clearly come out in the evidence, thus far, that those who desire to shield the perpetratoi s of this great wrong, hesitate at neither perjury, forgery nor murder itself. The people of the north do not recognize the condition of affairs ir: the southern States. They do not see how it is possible for men "msxle in the likeness and image of God" to "be so wholly depraved as to permit the crimes that are committed. Could the truth, the whole ruth, as to ostracism, intim idation and murder be brought clearly to the m:.nds of our people, there would be no rest day or night until the secret tears and the agonies and blood of those whose only crime is lov e of country should be avenged. Slavery, before the great rebellion, was confined to the negro; to-day tl e lash of the tyrant falls more heavily upon the white man, woman or child, for none are spared who dare to assert views or opinions in opposition to Democracy in the south, t'aan it ever fell on the back of tlu poor, helpless black man. The greatest soldier of the Republic Gen. Grant laying upon a bed a pain from the result of a recent fall, and now made serious by complications of the liver and kidneys, watch with apparently great interest the success of the Republican party. To a friend recently he said: "After four years of strife to sustain the vital doctrine that we are a Nation, and not a sort of a political co-partnership to be dissolved to suit personal or sectional animosities, the

Republican party by its progressiiveideas and enlightened spirit, has brought the Nation up to a higher plane of development, enterprise and prosperity than ever known before; and it is a duty the people owe to themselves to perpetuate this staxe of affairs by perpetuating the Republican party; but to do this I think wt need a candidate who fully represents the progressive and aggressive spirit of our institutions, and I hope such a nelection will be made at Chicago." How like the grain! old patriot that he is! These words should go ringing through the ars of every Republican and every lover of liberty, of justice and of right, throughout the land, until they find a lodgement in the mind and

heart, and impel to earnest utirtng work until the best men in the party are nominated at Chicago, and their tryumphatit election assured. Among the important matters before Congress, and upon which action will probably be taken during thepresewt session, is a bankrupcy bill. The United State has had several bankrupt laws, but it was eventually found necessairy to repeal them for the reason that they were gradually outgrown by trade and finanqe. A national bankrupt law seems to be a necessity to commerce and exchange, but the difficulty is in framing a measure that will be suited to all tie and circumstances. Trade and finance, like all other things, are progressive and a bankrupt law that will meet the requirements of to-day may be found inadequate to-morrow. A measure of the character mentioned is desired,which will be to political econemy what the sermon on the mouut b to Christianity a thing adapted tc all times and condition of men. Our Solons at the capitol think that this time they will be able to shape an

enduring statute. Let us hope that they will, and that the maturity of their labors may be equitable. Representatives of the manufacturing and laboring interests of Pittsburg, Pa., and other sections of that State, are in Washingten with the purpose of appearing before the Ways and Means committee to op

pose the Morrison tariff bill. It

seems rediculous for the industries of the country to load so heavily for such small game. The Morrison bill docs not stand a shadow of a chance of getting through the House, let alone the Senate. While the hungry and mole-eyed Democrats are almost to a man in favor of free trade, they are every mother's son them for the offices first; and seeing that their pet policy of antiprotection will not go down at the present stage of the proceedings, they will try the game of straddle till thy get full control of public affairs. ft is stated on good authority that Senator Sherman has declared that his ambition is satisfied. Ail that he desires now is to be permitted to serve his Ssate and the country to she end of his present Senatorial term, when he desires to retire to private life and enjoy the remainder of his days in quiet and peace. During the quarter ended September 30, 1883, 9.280,144 acres of public lands were dispsscd of at an aggregate price of 43,426,208. The increase in acres of land disposed of as compared with the corresponding quarter in 1882, was 5,630,443, and tne increase in receipts was $1,401,080. Congress very promptly voted 9500,000 to the flood sufferers along the Ohio, and will from present appearances be called upon for at least 500,000 more for the Ohio sufferers and also for the Mississippi, as everything points to an unprecidented rise in the latter. This prompt action of Congress meets with the almost universal sanction of the people. Senator-elect Blackburn, of Kentucky, was tendered a serenade at the National Hotel, in Washington, on Wednesday night. Fully three thousand people were in attendance and the greatest of enthusiasm prevailed. Ex-Senator McDonald was on the floor of the Senate chamber on Thursday afternoon. He was cordially greeted by Gen. Logan, and whjle the two men talked together ' they were closely eyed especially from the reporters' gallery curiosity being awakened by the fact that Presidential bees of the largest size are buzzing in the bonnets of both.
