THE HOANOKE NEWS. THUbSDAY, MAY 1370. Thanks to Hon. J. J. Dais for a copy of liii speech. Wb are indebted to Hon. Twee for favors this week. Z. 15. TVnv X)t. Iilnckburn was nominated rod elected GoTcrnor of Kentucky. On the fust day of May there trans pirtd in this city a professional event which has no fellow m history. The controfing political party of the Plate, in foil conieutio sieinbled, nominated for Ooeroorbip of Kentucky Dr. L 1'. Blackburo, tad nominated him because he was a doctor. His cauo was up- n no slate, was strung upon do wire. In Augast last the yellow fer er, which had beo slaying its thomandj in the Missis sippi Valley, was approaching our bor ders sad fears were around that it would tater them. Dr. lllackburn en rue (o consult with the authorities ol Louii fille coiicerniug the safety of the city. A few dajs later came the cry from Hickman that the plague indeed had passed our southern line, TUl was lat doubtful day in Ir. liluckbuns canaji. The nest found him in Hickmm ivirh the suirvrer, and the wmk of the dis interested philuuthropist, wliith was (it M(do all the slireirdiir6s of tho politi cians, began, The world knns the rest how he remained wi h llie people ol Hikkmau while the fefer was raging; how when it seemed to bo subdued, ho sought in Tennessee ( titer striukea spytf ; how, wbeo tho nets came that the plague bad again burst forth in Hickman, he returned (here tn his post, aid held it until the frosts of October declared a pcrutaneat truce. Then came the applauso of the peuplo up in his return to his home, and tke hurrahs throughout the State. When the day cane for the nomination, and General Jljke so gracefully proposal Dr. llUck hurn's name, not as a candidate from L uisille, but from the wholo people nf the State, ecry other opponent wit! drew, and Dr. Llackbern was by the acclamation of a thousand voices given tu the people nf Kentucky as their Gov eraor. Louisville Medical News. WILMISdiro.M SI X. '.The Sao on Smd.ij last announced that it would no longer bo published. It was one of our best exchanges and wc are sorry to lose it. The editor gives as hiireasou, the tollewing: Xbe San will appear no marc, at least nder the present managemei.t. The Editor does not conceive it to be necessary to make further explanation than the followiug : It was intended to continue piiblica tioa. The paper would hive been sus tained. The means with which to con duct it would, have been forthcoming, lint for reasnas which need nut be pus licly stated, but which will be given to our friends and all who arc interested in the failure, its Editor decides upon nspeosion as the wisest and must bou rnble coarse to pursue. TbeKditorof The Sui has heard that there were certain tumors in circi latiea flecties the conduit of the paper ader him. He has learned that it has Veen industriously not to say, insid ioasly reported i i this community that there were personal iiQucui:es exerted poo tbe paper such as would in the tery nature of things derngato from its true independence. The Sua has never been influenced in the slightest drgree kf any person wha'evir. Its editor alone has shaped its policv. He alone has been responsible for its couise on all questions.

H it there are certain classes of men and things from a contest with which the fitter retires befouled and without knoor, and I have n.t wish to crgarje in such a contest, although the temptation la pad d To that pnrt of some of your late correspondents so recklessly exposed I't public view is well ntgh irresistible. Hut I hive no wish to c it ofTi i the bloom nf their youth and beauty the SS.......J ii.iprs l your correspondents. It is true thit the genius so far dis played by them is very crude, but, still they do show geiti'c, such nsos-idtnusiy cultivated by mudy, practice, time and fih diet would at the end of a cen tury, and aTttr the consumption of a achnol of whales, raise their powers to lie ability of achieving a first-clas faiU re. Fur their t iicouragemcnt then I frankly confess that their Ict'ets hive bcew without effect. Had my little esjtb been passed unnoticed, I should bave found myself in the position ao beautifully described by the follow ing nuiscry rhyme. "Thn IroR drenserl up in unliliiir ctotlios VTnnl In the (ritmi to li"c.t Homo eiow-., B tint ci own irot ncrcJ Hint all fltv nwr, And I toll you thn froit was nuul llnd da. tah iuld have fcii l asido my gun, put off my war paint anil nat me down in anck-cloth and ashes for I would have been guilty nf failure.

I shvjli cot hue fjlljued up my tqu'.b bill I am f. re 1 to do so Fr rn necessity, winch has been thrust upon me, of justifying it. "Our gallant'' nvght well pray Heaven to preserve him from his lriendr. I have suit! that "our gallant's" frier d have thrust on me the necessity ol jus tifyinc my fust squib. Tlie tusk is easy and can be viell peiformed by a simple i arriitive of the public sets nl "our pallant" since the -t:h day of September On that day he sent loith a manifesto announcing hinisi If as a can- didate lor Congress, on a platf;rui of his own construction. That this was a moral crime, I do not intend to assert. But when wc remember that fur s nie time previous (o this the leading Dem ocratic papers in the district and many of the leading Democrats bad been insist ing that a Democratic candidate should be nominated by a Democratic conven tion, we see that this attempt on the part of our gallant to forestall the action of the party to which he claimed to be long was a political crime of the gravest character. Hut other action of our ;allatit bud ut abeut this period were fully i't keeping with that detailed above. In Anust the year referred to a set of Republican county nllicers h id been elected lor Ilalilax county. Of these it was cm.fiJcnily hoped that the Shcrilf would he uwiblu to cive bond in which case the vacancy would have been filled by a Democratic board nf Commissioners with a Democrat, ft ;; outside my purpose 1 1 dcf. il the suffer. lops wliicli liarl been ii.ll ited on vouruonn ty by the malreasaiico of county tllicers and tho gladntss with whicli they looked forward to the installation nf n true man as Sheriff. Sullicc it to say that these hopes were blasted nod the county remanded to a ltadicil rulo by the action of "our gallant." Do this Democracy. Aye marry 'tis of a kind which God forbid should become gen eral. "Oar gallant" si i II continued his run for Congress, by his own nomination on his own platform, and so fur as can be learned representing ui;body but hi,n self. It was soon m-en that sucll Con duct unrtbuked would leal to the utter disintegration nf tho Democratic party, and a Convention was called to meet in Goldsboro on the 1st day of October The interval between the calling of the convention and its meeting was used by "our gal'ant" in strenuous canvassing uuu mien me convention met lie np peared before it clamorous to be re warded fur his treachery. It is proper just here to compare this action of "our gallant with that or a gentleman who had also announced himself as an in dependent candidate. On the 2;)id day of August 1S7S. Mr. 11. F. Long of iVarren county had taken this ac tion. The leadinn princiulcs of his platl'urru are Identical with these pro mulgated a week later by "our gallant"' In private character Mr. Long stands as highly as any oiau anywhere, as a law yer his standing is of a more than or dinarily high order and the fuel that he is a minister ol the Methodist church is certainly nut to his discredit. And s it seems that ho is at least as well fitted to represent the people of tho district as is "our ea"ai,t." 15ut so soon thr Democratic convention was called Mr. Long, withdrew himself (rom the contest and when the C invention nut stated that he was no lonocr a candidate. Dy the unscrupulous use of means nrt necessary tn bo more minutely detailed, the convcuti in when usscmblcd was mads to declare a man who wis even then a candidutc "without regard to party," see his aiaidfcstn, the candid aU of tho democratic nartv. The ncnHn. men who bad opposed this nomination at once went 1 1 work for tSe cu.didate who had been foisted upon them. The election wps held and "our gallant" was dcJared elected, but there are not wauling democrats of high standing who declare that on a fair count the majority was 2.000 ogain-t him and that our gallatit was guilty, not only of stealing tite election, but nf stealing it from a nhjijer. Thus ended the fi.st chapter. The curtain next risc3 on "our gall ant" in the House of IV.-preser.ta-tives at Vushii)ot,i. It has I niir been a tradition of nil L-'gislative bodies that modesty becomes a youii mender, and it might have reasonably been Impel that this tradition, taken in connection with the fact that there was a shadow at least of dishonor banging over his method of obtaining his s-.'at, would have enjoined nt least temporary silence. Dat those who Imped ilm's tlf ".r n(i. laut. cave l.nu credit f..r a A.-n-nn r iicc.ncy and good sense to which his mind is a stranger, kfrc ho had been in Washington ,)ng enough t t learn to distinguish the statue of Coliim- bus from a ten pio sign he spring to his feet and with nearly enough knowledge ol law to ronko a decent appearance oeiere a crofs-roals magistrate, pro cccded tn instruct the assumhled wis flom nt the nation in co- s r.titiornl law and history. Tho days of miracles had returned oiid as in the tune or Ililaam, "the oss opened his mouth and spako." Ssiuce the 10th nf last March he has managed so well that the d.ys have been too short to hold the measure of hrs fully. He ns carried more joy into iho radical camp than all of their own orators and has caused the democratic party to hide- its face for very shame. Yet this is tho nnn who is ton immacu late for cr'ricism to be aimed at.
