The Speakership.
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 . Whyll did 110
