Senator Morgan, of Alabama, crows over tho good credit of his state, saying “that tho state of Alabama is both able and ready to meet all her obligations. Tbc state is just as llrin and solid iu her financial matters os tho state of New York. From 1807 to 1874 tho radicals, who were iu i>owcr during that period, robbed the state of $9,000,000. Alabama very often pays its interest three or four months before it is due and is safe as to money matters.” “When Albany News and Advertiser: If Bridges Smith,'of,the Macon Telegraph, had been at our npel- ing bee the other night, ho would surely have set down when he spelled It “shotc."

The little daughter of Mr. Robert Rickctson, who lives a few miles from Wnrrenton, was painfully hurt a few days since by stepping on n cambric needle as it stood on its point in tbe floor, threaded. It passed eyeforemost, thread and all, up into thc heel, nearly the whole lengtli of the needle. Mrs. Ricket- son endeavored to pull it out by ;ho thread, but thc thread gave way leaving the needle unmoved. Mr. R. then brought thc little suflerer to town, and the doctors soon re lieved her. Since then she has not even limped from the wound, so readily and completely did it heal. A three year aid daughter of Mr. J. J.

ABOUT BUNCOE. The Dauvillc (III.) Commercial, republican, has this'to say alioiit llic stalwart: Mr. Conkling Is an exceedingly diflieult "grout and good mail” to please. His recent nomination nml confirmation as associate justice now seems u very silly and useless farce, as it was doubtless well known that lie would not accept it licforc it was made. It was a farce, however, in which the president nnd senate acted their pans. Just "lint good this whole proceeding can do Mr. Conkling is not appar ent. It lias only revealed one thing and that is that he feels hu miliated by the silly and idotie course which brought about his political death and that lie is now as uiqiopular as ever. Mr. Couk- ling can never reclaim himself in public estimation, and any attempt to whitewash him will meet thc in dignant rebuke of tUe |>co|>lc who remember his recent conduct. ln Wednesday's issue of the j pL ' ntblc * arm > °n Tuesday, the tMn«ra /..I thn i-.tA . u | l^st-Appeal the correspond cut .‘R.’, wor * ilucn cal “e upon a monster rat- left them He imm dl u,1 B M fr0W tbis clt - v b “ 8 a lm,f column i tlo - r , in tl,e wc0<l3 . and succeeded the door again, went 'nuTthc ! communIcaU °n ln rc gar.l to our ' killl "f “• II llad "inetcen rat- street, summoned a posse of citi-! nci g bbor > lbe AepuWuan.and Gen- ; erH an ' 1 a b «tton, which, accord- zens and returned.

The let ter reached New York just after Mr. Conkling had left for Utica. The President supposing from tho delay in answering that thc ap pointment would bo accepted, sent tho nomination in. Mr. Conkling received the first news of his nomi nation from tlie newspapers and got thc letter from thc President afterward, lie at onco replied that had he received it earlier lie would have declined. But tho nomination had been violently at tacked in tlie Senate and there was a prospect for a contest, and Mr. Conkling decided not to withdraw under fire. So he waited for thc action of the Semite, thought tho matter over, aud finally concluded to stand by Ids original determi nation.
