Franklin (Courier GEORGE S. BAKER, Editor and Proprietor. AU letters addressed to Geo. S. IUkkr, Friday.. ArorsT 27, 1875. TIIE RESULT. . The smolo of.tLo late engagement has blown off sufficiently to enable us ; to say to -our readers, that while the Judical party has failed to get a ma jority of tbo Delegates elected to the Convention, yrt re also have failed to et a majority of them. Tbo Dorao crats elect 59 rtr;iights, the Radicals hti straights. Tbcre are two Indepen dent Democrats, and ono Independent llcp'iblicaa elected. If all of these independents upon tbc assembling of ihe Convection ally themselves with the Democrats, it will !give us four majority, if two of them vote with us and ono with the Radicals, then our majority will be two, if but ono votes with us, the Convention will bo evenly Uvided, should they all go with the Radicals, then they will hive two ma jority in the Convention. . These three ;ncn hold the balance or power. T iking any view of the case that presents itself to us, we are compelled U confess that our party has met with a shocking reverse, ont that we fear will set us back for some time to come, Wo will have a terrible fight with the cuomy next year, to regain the ground that Wb liavo lost. Wo fcaicd that this would be tbo result ef the matter vrhen the Convention question was first rgitated, and with the reverse of. 1871 fresh in- our memory, we toolc strong grounds against ihe call; and "main ' taincd our position until tho matter had become a foregone conclusion. and longer opposition would put us in seeming hostility to our party, upon tie success of which we thought de pended the prosperity and happiness of our people, When the Convention was called we together with our people went to work, to elect the best and ablest man In our party to it. How ve succeeded the veto of Franklin speaks in tones louder and more impressive than anything ?c can write The Representatives and Senators from thl a Senatorial District, composed of AN llson, Iiasb, and Franklin were 1 atnong tho very last to consent in the Legislature to the call of the Conven-J tion. They feared the result, and the nequenco has sliown that their tears were not altogether groundless. Rut they did not fear their own people. They knew that , their. Constituents would come up to tho full measure of their duty. In this they were not i tVnn frw AWAmi rYA tics gave a larger majority than they I did last year for tho State ticket, and the combined majorities of these counties were moro than 100 greater than last year, "Vc have seen it stated in one of our btate Kxchangcs, as one cause of the reverse, that many of those who opposed tlte call of the Convention, failed to take any part in tlw Canvass. ' As ono of th early opponents of this measure, we deny the imputation, for this class of gen., tlcmen in this section of the State. From wdiat we have seen and, heard, wo are inclined to the opinion that so far as the prominent Democrats in this secticn of the Stae' are concerned, those who opposed . this measure in its inception, wcro more united and labor ed with as groat if not greater seal for the success of our cause, than did those who were so nxioua to precipl- ate tho inbtsure upon us. ITe can think of several gentleineh who wrote letters last fall strongly advocating this measure, whose voices so far as we know were' not heard In the late campaign,' On the other hand, we do not think of a single gentleman. who opposed it then through the press, that did not do good work in our late fight, lion- J. J. Davis and Hon. D. G. Fowle in the 4th District. Hon, J. J. Yttes iu tho 1st District; and our entire dele gation in Congress opposed it, in its incipency, yet we found them all at work on the stump, with the possible exception of Mr. Ashe, when the time camo to select the men These facts we think entirely refute the position. that it was ewing to the; inaction of the early Anti-Con veUion men, that wc failed. ? ; Wo intend so far as vre arc-concern cd, that if any attempt is made to charge this failure in the direction intimated, to j freely ventilate the whole matter, and put tho'refponaibili- ty of this revcr&e where it belongs! N e do not in this yield our party zoal, for in the principles and men of our pa i ty we believe is the only hope of our country, and we shall ever be found fighting to put down the enemies of good government and honesty, and we are equally mm mux ion as the most z'ulous cuiiwntiou man t.f ljt autumn to dissever and bury the ugly features of our alien, scallawag and negro constitution. We -were then, in the late fight, are now, and ever will be for otrr country and our party, which to us are one and inseperable. His Excellency Gov. C. H. Brogden, having - been -- officially notified of the death of f Ex-Gov. Win. A Graham, who was elected to the Convention from Orange, has issued his order for ari election to be held in that county on the 16th September next to filll the vacancy caused by the death of Gov. Graham. 1 v::-- v ;, . The Wilson Aovance in speaking of this act of Gov. Brogden, says: " 41 Gov. Broaden, instigated by a dev ilish and mean party spirit, haa virtual-' ly disfranchised the - county of Orange by ordering an election on the ICth of September to nil the vacancy caused by . the death oi the lamented ura nam, If he had consulted the iuterest of the people of that county instead of the lladical. party, be would havq ordered the election in time for the meeting of the Convention. But Brogden is an aspirant for office at the hands of his party and he prefers to obey the com mand of unprincipled partisans to the performance of his duty as Governor. This one act of high handed tyranny is enough to stamp his whole adminis tration with infamy, and shows the peK f etrator devoid of principle and honor, t is a high-handed attempt to smother the voice of the white men of Orange, a trick conceived in wickedness and constitutes a crime, for which its author should forever be held in contempt by the people not only of Orange but of the whole country. , t By this mean and contemptible act, Gov. '' Brogden has shown ; himself a willing tool in the hands of bad men, and has ahown himself to be totally un fit to occupy the position, to which lie has been accidcntly. elevated. The act could onlr " be prompted by corruption, 1 , .! 1 . . .1 ' " ana is a crime wnica riuniy ueserves iui ncachntent .

AUjennarl Times. i '-'- ' 3Xmly Exprcwiiou. Tub New York nEniLn Compli ments Jeffekson Davis ' and Dk ; i KOONCFS THE GliAXD, A.RUY OF THE IlXPCBLIC.' .- . , . - - '-5 Herald E litorial. j ''. J "When we heard that Mr '1 Davia had accepted the luvitation to visit Uliueis and deliver an agricultural address we wero gratified. It was a kindly thing on the part of the farmers of Illinois to invite Mr. Davis. - It -: was a courteous thin j for the ex-Prtsident of the' Con lederacy to accept lt.! A good , deal of bitterness that belongs to the recent war uniostly centres krouad7 the person ol Mr. Davis. This ' movenment of the Grand Army of the Republic is an il lustration of this loj-tstice. If Jeffer- son Davis is an UQwe!coa.e uest at a Northern agricultural fair then no oth er Southerner who -fought ia the war can be welcomed. Wa , do not see where the mcmlexs f the Grand Army ot the Republic draw the line' between Jefferson Davis and Gen. Longs treet, unless in thl that Mr. Davis prefened to cherish the convictions with, which be entered the rebellion, ; while Gen. Lonjfstreet, with more wisdom and courage, has accepted the doctrines of tine Republican party. Mr. Dr vis w'as no more responsible tor toe' rebellion in the South than any one of ra thou. T". . i " w,c -uw war, ww:c tne question of secession wss unaer discussion, be was among the more moderate et the Soutuern lead- er. There were twenty members and Sen J ator in the Congrcrs which preceded the rebellion more active ' than Mr. Davis io bringing about hoatilitiea and more responsible for the result. Mr. Davis and his colleagues in that Con gress followed r public opinion in the v ntn, and dia not lead It. Mr. Davis was put atthe head of the Confederacy simply lcause he had more character than mst of the Southern leaders. Even as it was tae Conteder&te Con gresa almost elected Mr. Toombs, of Geotgia. The election of Davis was theprennn of a conservative senti- meUt even In the Southern Confederal cy. At President of the Confederacy Mi. Davis did his duty as well as he knew how. He did what any other Southern leader would have done in the same place. He stood by his post .to the end. When be fell be fell with the Conlederacy. Therefore, to deal with Mr. Davis as In any way more re sponsible for the rebellion than any one of the conspicuous men of the South er. betore the war is to do him a great in justice and ourselves a discredit. The wisdom of Mr. Davis coming Into a hostile community, to deliver a lecture upon any subject might be questioned. It is probably the penalty which he and all men like him, who have held supreme station in rebellion, must pay, that he must accept failure as closing to him any opportunity for display or advancement. We think it would have been a gracious thing for the people, of Illinois to bare accepted bis act in the spirit which prompted it. These members of the Republic repre sent only the dismal memories of the war. This organization is known to be political and secret in its character. Its members use their army -record for selfish political purposes The true soldiers ol the North and South have forgotten everything of the past ex cept its glory and they think- only ot their opponents as chivalrous and brave men. We never hear of this Grand Army of the Republic except when it makes the n if chief it is making in , Illinois. .The business of its leaders seems to be to fan the expiring flame of civil wrath and diligently seek offices. An act like this In Illinois, this rejection of the kindness and courtesy of Mr. Davis, will do more toward - exasperating the South and intensifying the bitterness of feeling which has long been the aim oi the patriotic men, without distinc tion of section or party; to extinguish, than anything, that has' occurcd for a long time, There is not a true South era man who took part in the Cons federacy who witl not feel that he can not , be ' welcome In any " community which renounces the President 1 his Confederacy as an "Archtraitor and coward. - I POLITICAL NOTES. . ! .
