A SUGGEsrION.-In these times, when it is SO
fashionable to seek ofice-when so large a portion
Of the population live if not the hope of en-
joying salaries from the public treasury-it is, of
course, very common to seek to make new politi-
cal combinations or parties. That there is much
in party name, is as evident in the value of its
name to the Democratic party as in the positive
injury which accrued to the Wing party of for
rEer times from wearing its originally cherished
title, ere it died the death Now, as the negro
question forms almost tine entire staple OF party
politics of the times, il strikes that party to be
called THE White Mans party and to make

might discover that rs has been the case with all
new parties of late years its affairs are virtually in
the control of selfish demagogues, caring not fol-
principle but for sPOils only. We throw out the

We feel completely overwhelmed with the ava.
lanche Of disGuisitions upon the negro quest on
| through which we are forced to wade, daily, in
reading exchange newspapers The change would
prove a gOdsend to conductors Of the press
who, like ourself sick and tired of the inter
minable theme in which the American politicians
Of all parties seem now alone to live, move and
have their being.

CHANGE OF POLICE HOURS IN BILrINoRp
The American says: Marshal Herring has issued
orders to the several captains Of police, changing
the hours OF duty Of the men. The new regulations
require that the men who are performing day duty
shall not leave their beats until s O'Clock D. IN .
and that the men for duty at night shall be dis
patched to their places at ~ O'Clock p. m. The
cause of the new order it appears grew out of the
non-arrest Of Burke, who, it will be recollected
murdered his victim about the time the change

nj BLoNDIN's LAST WALK.-Yesterday, Blondin
walked his rope at Niagara for the last time, in
the presence of an immense multitude of people
About two thousand Buffalonians were present
besides some ten or fifteen thousand persons from
other places. Blondin walked the rope from the
American to the Canada shore backwards, and
when near the centre of the river, waited until the
steamer Maid Of the Mist came beneath. bringing
Travis the great shooter. Blondin held his hat at
arms length, and Travis, standing OH the steamer,
fired pistol ball through it. The hat was low
cred to the boat, that the marksman might see
what he had done. Travis was satisfied, aud re-
turned the hat to Blondin, who went on his way.
Returning from the Canada side Blondin pushed
a wheelbarrow across. The wheel had grooved
rim to fit the rope, and the handles of the vehicle
Were suspended by cord around his neck. He
carried his balancing pole with him while pushing
the barrow.
This was to be the last walk ut Niagara. Blon-
din left for Cincinnati this morning, but Vill
return to the Falls next week to remove his rope.
At that time he will come to this city to what
he can do about suspending a rope over the Gen.

COUNTING THEIR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE
calculations Of the Republican
party press concerning the election OF Speaker
and Clerk for the next House OF Representative
are amusing Already they are squaoonng a'
great rate over the claims Of their respective can
didates; though It is reduced to moral certainty
that they can make no possible election except by
\ compromise with one IL not two branches of the
opposition. in which, as is almost always the case
ON sucb occasions. the surrender Is TO be made by
the greater 1.-THE Republican, side TO the bargain,
intrigue and management out of which it Is pro-
posed to work victory over the Democracy.
Between this time and the first Monday of De-
cember next. the country will witness an amount
of ''cahoodhng' upon the subject of these offices,
such as never before took place in connection with
American public affairs, and in which, we regret
to have to write prominent men of all parties will
be participants for in the first place, intrigue and
management in such matters are day by day be-
coming more fashionable; and in the next place,
the House will be so divided politically as to in
duce the general belief that it is to be close
that the victory will probably be won by those
who work hardest most secretly, and with least
scruples Of conscience, to compass their ends. q
BY the bye we presume that few green
as to accord weight to newspaper sPeculatons
over the prospects of this or that individual asp
rant for either of the aforementioned positions;
as it is really as utterly impossible to foretel at
this time what an hours intrigue and arrange
ment may accomplish in this connection, as to
anticipate now, who will be the next President Of
the United States The Presidential question, by
the bye, is destined TO have perhaps more weight
than aught else in deciding who to get the
party nominations for tie Congressional posts.
TO realize how completely the country has come
to be all its interests and affairs the mere crea-
ture of the hopes and fears of those who ''cahoo-
die" to get possession of the government, one
must study closely and know well the ins and
outs of the mac hincry of all party politics.
