Nathan Gaff, the Republican candidate, was elected by 110 plurality in November, Int the Democratic Legislature'Mused to eanvass the vote. Governor Wilson claims to be Governor until his successor has qualified, and Senator Carr, president Of the Senate, claims that neither are en­ title! to it, but that he, as the next highest officer of the state, is acting Governor. IV The latest southern outrage is that inflicted by the brawny hand of the stalwart Kentucky Congressman Black­ burn on the tiny shell-like ear of the delicately framed congressman from New Hampshire, Mr. Chandler. In such an aggravated case a well handled revolver would have been allowable to make good the discrepancy in physiques. But New England is patient and long endur­ ing and Mr. Chandler nurses in quietude his maimed member and insulted man­ hood. tf ' £: Waving the Bebel Flay* Albany Journal: Those who charge the Republican party with sectionalism should read the speech delivered by General Rosser at the reunion of Con­ federate soldiers at Baltimore last night. If a gathering of union soldiers were held in a Southarn city at which Confederates should be assailed and ,the victory of the Union forces over them sneeringiy thrust Into their faces the diners would hardly escape lynch law or a pot of tar and feathers. Yet in the city of Baltimore, almost within sight of the national capital, a rebel soldier taunted the union veterans, insulted General Sherman, the only surviving union general of great renown, and glorified the cause of the Confederacy as one entitling every rebel soldier "to wear a patriot's immortal crown!" Talk of sectionalism and the waving of the bloody shirt at the North. What is it all confpared with the infa­ mous, insulting language that was flung into the teeth of the patriotic north by a Southern brigadier. (W* Chas. J. Ross, in a single para­ graph, gives the reason for being a Re­ publican. They will bear investigation: That record shows a love of right for tight's own sake, and courage for the principle of liberty for man. The man­ agement of the goverment and the maintenance of the financial integrity Of the federal government at home and abroad during the trying times of the rebellion commend the Republican party to every loyal and patriotic Ameri­ can citizen. It is not to be understood, however, that mistakes were not made and the moral perception of many able men blinded by the rattle of unlimited money; but it is to the credit of the Re­ publican party that, as a whole, they emerged from the great conflict with diadem undimmed. The legislative history of the Republican party is re­ plete "with grandly magnificent prop* ositions and measures which have seldom, if ever, failed to redound to the benefit of the American people. Under the Repub­ lican party the American flag com* manded the veneration of the American people and the respect of other nations. For these reason s, I am a^LyutlKca^l.,, • ' -, \ „ >, -'... - y Wie County OtHhe great and growing vain® of the local weekly county newspaper, to the mass of people, there is no doubt. Under our system of suffrage, founded on the idea of equal civil rights, a» an inaliena­ ble possession of every American citizen, the local newspaper became, years ago, an established institution. It has grown with the" growth of our states, counties and villages, until at the present day it is rare to find any settlement of people, of any site, which does not possess one or more local papers. Few families, even in the remote western districts, are unable to have in the household, a local newspaper, and a very general habit of reading has been developed everywhere. As a consequence of this general diffu­ sion of publications, there has grown up a prevalent idea, that a person who does not read at least one paper a week, must soon fall behind his neighbors inhisstock of knowledge and in his general intelli­ gence. This is a desirable state of the public mind, and one more strongly char­ acteristic of the American people than those of any other country. And the feeling is intensified and preserved from the cause mentioned before, that the func­ tion of the newspaper is that of educator and commentator. The people hav­ ing confidence from this idea, that the newspaper editors and publishers are ac­ tuated by earnest and honest intentions to add, each their share, to the diffusion of new or desirable knowledge. This is a fair statement of the case, as far as the average opinion of the public can be as­ certained. The need of the world, and of the peo­ ple everywhere, is, as said before, recog­ nised in this demand for, and free supply of reading matter. This need is, to sup­ ply to the mass of people somewhat that adds to their stock of knowledge, and the fund of information that enables them to look at themselves and the human be­ ings about them in an understanding manner. The problem of life is a great one, full of surprises--in fact it is com­ monly the unexpected that occurs. To understand clearly these occurrences and actions which make up life, there must be knowledge of facts as well as knowl­ edge of the usual operations of human motives to action. This knowledge can only come from observation or reading, or better, from both, and as the field for observation with most persons is limited, the local newspaper here becomes an im­ portant agent in extending the mental vision. For, the paper furnishes not alone the facts in regard to matters im­ mediately about us, but also the facts in regard to more or less of what is occur- ing over the whole world. Still more does it extend the vision of its readers when it gives in connection with matters of spec­ ial and local interest, an epitome of the matters which are interesting the thought and opinions of the world. And this it must do by furnishing a more extended discussion of such general subjects as are tending logically to special results. This is the noblest function of the paper and is the dement which gives it fc claim to its name of educator. It claims a part in this work with good books, and all lit­ erature which informs or instructs their readers. The great educators of the world to­ day are its preachers, its teachers, its scholarly literature and its newspapers, not least being the latter. Through all these channels the ideas and thoughts of the best and ablest of its men and women are being brought into contact with the minds of the great mass of reading peo­ ple. Each of these channels has its own audience to interest and instruct, and each is doing a great work in helping for­ ward the progress of the human race. Still we must award to the weekly news­ paper the credit of reaching the largest number of individuals, and in conse­ quence recognize its influence for good or ill to be immense. As the intelligence of any people is in­ dicated by the mental average of the masses who compose it, it is important that the educators of the masses should be worthy of their mission. This, we are pleased to say, is the fact in regard to the major part of the local papers to which we allude. They furnish their read­ ers each week a quantity of news and mental food that iB of considerable bene­ fit. The occurrences of every-day life in the neighborhood, as well as the general occurrences of the nation are very fairly represented. They also furnish material of more general character, relating to morals, politics, and social life, which help to make up the stock of informa­ tion every person needs. Same papers, of course, have a higher general tone than others, but nearly all are safe guides to the mass of their read­ ers. Occasionally, one is narrowly secta­ rian or partisan, open to ther charge of one-ideaness, and not a reliable educator for its readers, but fortunately, the in telligence of the majority of editors is such that the local weekly newspaper is generally a benefit to thecommuity which supports it. As said before, the local press is a great power in the land, and it should vindi­ cate ever its old legitimate claim as an educator of the people. Our countryis de­ pendent on the average intelligence of its citizens, for prosperity and growth, and the local newspaper stands in the advance of the means to such an end. Let it ever fully earn its title, vindicate its noble claim and ever wield its great power for the public good. ABBOT. HAHLY BKKKDBBS O*-- Roadsters, Draft AND GRADE HORSES.
