Judge Gasi.in has be n renominated

whereupon his friends throw up their

General Paul Vandervoobt says
he wan removed without cause; that
no notice or investigation was bad ;
that the rotmaster.Gneral was im
posed upon, and that he (Vandervoort)
will be satisfied with nothiag short of
reinstatement. If General Vaader-
oort was removed without cause, as
those who know him best and know of
his administration believe, his many
friends throughout the State will en
dorse bis stand, "to be satisfied" with
nothing short of reinstatement,
Said ex Governor Luke Blackburn,
of Kentucky in an interview the other
day in New York City: "There exists in
"the south, a disposition to see the

This i the geni'eman who exhibited
his murderous treason during the war,
by. attempting to scatter small pox
throughout the northern cities and the
Union arm 'j during the late wtr. He
is a representative man in Kentucky,
having just vacated the gubernatorial
chair io t. tat state in favor of Proctor
Knott ; however we believe this fiend
does n- t represent the better portion of
society io the south although there is no
doubt but he speaks his own tmo feel

recognized in Wm. H Newell a compe

rhe IIekald has not advocated Mr
Newell's claims for renominatiou be
cause there were several other good
friends of the paper, who we also con
sidered competent, honest men, candi
dates for the same office, and as a re
publican paper, representing the whole
party, we hBve considered it our duty
to carefully refrain from espousing the
personal claims of anyone. This an
nouncement is made in naswer to tbe
repeated enquiries of friends of the dif
ferent candidates for the office of coun
ty. treasurer. After the nominations
a-e made at Wieping Water, the Her
ald proposes to discuss them in a can

THE WAY OUT.
Front Frank Leslies Illustrated Nevt paper,
There is euough telegraph wire
rung through this country to truca
:t the current business between .the
la. ge centres. The experience of the j
-t ten years shows plainly enough j
that no new lines will be built or be
gun except in the hope of selling out
to the Western Union on getting strong

pose of accommodating the pubhc: and

to be organized pro bono publico by
the discharged operators who have
been efficient enough to recover their
foimer places, may seem not to have
just this same old greedy basis, to that
complexion it must come if it progress-
s at ail. A magnificent sort of Maca-
mail is at the bottom of every "compe
ting company," unless, indeed, such as
the Postal Telegraph Company, which
has noVfl methods and equipments
professedly superior.
Every year that passes makes it
-eein more probable that the solution
of the problem will be found at last in
tue establishment of a general tele
graphic service in connection with the
Post Office wholly under Federal con
trol. The evils predicted of such an
en:'ro;euieut of "the Uovernment o
oubt, mostly imaginary, and th y
ouid entirely disappear under an hoi.-

all (as the exper'ence of Ft anse &td
Swuzerland si.ows). while the coat t f
sendi g messages would still be rednc
eJ cuiiderably below the present rate.
The average price of messages taken
by tne Western Union - is forty-four
cents, certainly quite too much and it
carries for tbe people of the United
States less than one message apiece
each year.
All the property of the Western Un
ion Company is worth about $40,000.

$8,000,000. This annual profit of twen

nus-ion saving money to customers
whi e extending the benefits of rapid
correspondence to hundreds of thous
ands who are now beyond its reach.

ple may learn that the Government
