"Whom the Gods Destroy They
First Make Mad."
When Gocbel wrh brutolly uhsuh
gloated in Kentucky tho whole
world was shockrd and grieved.
That ?uch u method w?m resorted
to to defeat the rule of Om people
could hardly ho conceived as true
by law-abiding and peaceable peo
ple. And yet stern facts conoiu
aively show that siI^^whb the cnae.
The Republican party is primarily
responsible for tho atrocious deed,
and has attempted to roap a polit
ical harvest froiu assassination and
death. Taylor, claiming to be
Governor of Kentucky, called out
the militia und ordered that the
Legislalute be adjourned for the
present, hut this body representing
tho people of Kentucky, declared
Goobel governor nhen his life whh
fast ebbing away. Taylor has ig
nored the Legislature, the jfrlntu
courts of Kentucky, and alj/ Juslice
and right, and is aUjetnpti ng to
role Kentucky by J'wTee. From this
dark picture of/fepnblioan oppres
Aion and cruelty wo ear) turn and
gather comfort from tho rcpioach
that is being heaped up*?n tlx?
usurper, Taylor, North, Kasi, South
and Went. His political doom is
.^(Hjaled, ''and rijjht will surely
triumph over might. The km-inhers
of the Republican party i? Ken
tucky have acted like madmen, and
their organization will certainly be
.destroyed loavin<j the Democrats
in well deserved control. "Whom
the Gods destroy they make
rn ad."
Has thiKllcf* Keen Dono to Mr.
Hoykin?
The Legislature Law abolish
ed tlio present board of control
consisting of five men, and in lien
thereof, established an other lioard con
siating of three men. It in proposed
that the chairman of t liin Hoard to
be established will he elected by the
Senate and the other two members
bj' the House of Heprescntntives.
Why abolish tho old hoard at. all?
If ttioro has boon nuy mnltcnsanrr
in office hy any member of the old
board let him bo punished to tho lull
extent of the law, but. don't, let us
try (o whitewash matters by a mean
ingless change. Upon tho old board
of control was a member from Ker
shaw County. Mr. Harwell Hoykin
?In all of I ho chargoa and counter
charges published broadcast over ti e
land we have failed to uiscover any
thing charged or intimated against
the business qualifications, or per
sonal Integrity of this gentleman,
lie, with Mr. Williams of Lancaster,
has been weighed in tho scales and
not t'uund wanting. Then why turn
off thtac experienced buainesn men
for others who are untried and prob
ally unqualified? Kerahaw County
feels a just pride in Mr. Hoykin and
wo feel that u great injustice ban
been done him.
Senator McLaurln May Kcsign.
A dispatch from Washington pub

"Senator MeLaurin may rosi xn his

Jiplne commission. Senator Mel-iu
riu's vote in favor of the peace trea.
t.y, and his fre<]uent public speeches
favorable to expansion, have increas
ed his popularity at tho White House
and in othey circles where tho .ex
pansion sentiment prevails, hence
his selection would be eminently sat
isfactory to the friends of expan
#fon. It is said that Senator Mc
Lanrin is entirely ignorant of the
movement being made, but those
close to Httt^ Ibd who know of his
r^.. r.? views on expansion, think it probable
that he would seriously consider the
acceptance of such ao offer. To ac
