The contest between Randall an( d Blackburn for the Spcakership of the house is exciting great interest not only in Washington but throughout I the United States. Both gentlemen. are very sanguine of success, but we are pleased to say that libuu:lall's ex pectations appear to be the better founded. The tight Is not so muchR Ranal(li versus Blackburn, as it is ' Randall ind anti-ilandall. The Speaker is said to be one of those men who does not appreciate others as they value themselves, and thereby he gives o1l'ence. Ile has also strenuous ly opposed all jobs and subsidies and, for this reaIsonl, has anltagonlized the Ilbby anid the Conigresemen who( vote with it. But as the money worship,. ping people of the North chiefly dread the Democracy as subsidists, this trait of the Speaker is a great element or strength for the I)emnocratic party, north of Mfa--ont and )ixon's line. Randall is also pre-eminent as a par-I liamentarian, a mnost essential quali fication for at good Speaker when backed by only a small maajority, and confronted by a party of matchless (liscipline, great ability and unparail leled impudence and audacity. An anecdote is related that the wife of Radical Congressman Hale remarked that Randall was the best Speaker the House had ever had. Randall has, moreover, had an experience of severail years, and in this respect enjoys great advantage over Blackburn, who is as yet untried. While Blackburn is a man of great ability, he has too much fire in his nature to make a good Speaker, when party lines are closely drawn and the fight often waxes bitter. IIe is moreover a Southerner, a great crime in the belief of the North; and he headed the fillibusters in the Eight-to-Seveu contest in 1877. Ils election would impart a brimstone odor to theo Congressional air, most alarming to the timid Union man, and would afl'ord fresh grounds for the Radical howl that the South has captured the United States. In addition to all this it must he re membered that the country is on the brink of a Vesuvian volcano. The determination of the Democrats to repeal unjust and oppressive Radical legislation is already denounced as the inception of a new rebellion. It is just as wvell not to press the fight too far, or, in homely but expressive words, ''not to bite ofi' more than we can chaw." Let the Speakership be again given to Randall, whose devo tion to the "old1 flag" is wvell known, instead of putting an "ex-rebel" to head tihe p)arty in1 its new inisurrectioni. Tho Presidential contest in 1880) will be the severest ever -vitnessed, tar ex ceeding tile troublous times of 1876. If necessary, Grant ill ho p)ut at the head of tihe "Loyal North" as the man to crush this newy rebellion, anid by tihe glamour of his name and prestige, thiousanlds may be0 dazzled andc dazed so as5 to milsuniderstandl tile meaning of tile struggle, and to be lieve that, instead of restorinug the Unlion to constitutional limits, the 'Democrats are bent on1 subverting thle governmifent. It is just as well t.o p)roceed can tiusly. While tile Democrats should begin to show some haickbone, they ought not let It become too still' or to protrude like a ram-rod above their shirt-collars. They should1( be car'eful not to overdo the business. It will be enlough to repeal tile test oath andl the election laws without elevating an extremie Southern man to the highlest place In Congress in addition. Black burn is a very fine fellow, but Randall shlouldi be made Speaker. Don't let use swap horses in tile middle of the stream. The Aiston Murder. Thue Columbia Riegister very proper ly anld very ably censure,s Governor Colquitt for permitting the fight be tween Coloniel Aiston anld Captain Cox In Atlanta. A fter Cox hlad fol lowed Colonel Aiston arounid town, pulsing a deadly fighlt upon the latter, Aiston, on going to tile capitol, re marked to Governor Colquiltt, "It Is a fearful thing to be bounded down In tis way." The Governor then promised to send a messenger to Cox to dissua'de him from his bloody course, and when thlis messenger wvas dolnied an lunterview with Cox, the Governor mYoIgely Bent Bomne one else to unidertake, tile same persuaslA mission. As the Rfegister' well says, why should 1he merely try to persuade the wduld-bo murdererp .
