may as we'll desist in their efforts to
secure his nomination for the Presi-
dency. The Montgomery Democracy
want no soldier candidates, unless
they can secure the services of few
who fought for the Confederacy.
This Montgomery Convention also
developed the fact that the fir lntic
appeals of the Cincinnati Enquirer
to the Democracy Of this State to
beware of the bond holders, are
made none too soon. There was an
endless variety of opinion on the
financial problem. Some were for
reputation, pure and simple, like
Brick PoMERoY. Others preferred
sugar-coated reputation. Still others
lean it be possible) were for sustain
ing the credit of the Government and
paying off the entire debt in good
faith Let these last be anethenla
naardnath0.
The Montgomery Convention, in
like manner, exposed the fact that
everything isn't so lovely in the
Democratic household, as we have
been led to believe by its enthusiastic
organs. Some of the Democrats, it
seems, object to electing a Governor
simply to make him U. S. Senator
They insist that if Mr.. HENDRICKS is
elected Governor, he shall discharge
the duties Of that position, and let
somebody else go to the Senate
not unreasonable request. This fac
ton, it is understood, is inspired by
Hon. JOSEPH E. MCDONALD, who
can't ascertain when or how Sena-
tor HENDRICKS got title iced to the
Democratic party of Indiana. But
the pressure is brought to bear, "
aud these grumblers will soon be sup
pressed and silenced. The ticketing
Of delegates to the State. Convention

Holiday Poetry.

We have had a perfect food tide of
poetical illusions rushing in upon US
through the mails from. all parts of
the country, during the past week.
We regret that our unfa vorable prosy
critic has seen fit to confne so much
of it to the waste basket, that general
receptacle for the productions of IN
appreciated genius. We caught sight
of the following love waif just as it
was going into the basket, and as it
at least has the merit of brevity, we
publish it as a sample of the rest:
Nelia J., sweet Nelia J.!
Are yOu yet as true me
AS when last your heart l knew?
Mid the faithless, are you true?
When pressed your hand to go,
Then l loved you we'll l know;
And l still IN absence weep.
And l still my promise keep.
Nelia j., doubt thee not;
Hope, tell me I'm not forgot;
And hope sweet NeIia
Ne'er will faithleSS prove to me.

Political Matters.

The Courier, yesterday. INDUCED
in an editorial attack upon JAY
COOKE & Co., the bankers of Phila-
delphia. who we're so prominent in
negotiating the. sale of the Govern
ment Bonds during the wrr, and took
occasion to repeat the charge made
by that reliable sheet. the Cincinnati
Enquirer, that Hon. JOHN SHERMAN,
of Ohio, the Chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, was a partner of
the firm. The labored editorial is
brought to naught by The following
item in. the New York World, the
leading organ of the party in the
country: 1&5I
Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co. inform us
that neither Senator Sherman, nor
any other public functionary in or
out of Congress, has now, or ever has
had, any direct or indirect interest
in, or connection with, their firm.
This eorreets the statement copied in
the World from the Cincinnati En-
Qulrer.
A REPORTS being circulated that, in
cease Mr.. CHAsE's friends fail to carry
the Chicago Convention, they will
withdraw and call another Conven-
ton to meet at St. Louis. In reply to
this, the New York Tribune says, in
behalf of the friends of Mr.. CHASE,
that they intend to support whoever
may be nominated for the Presidency
by the Republican Convention to be
held in Chicago on the Goth day of
May next ensuing. We trust Mr.
CHASE may receive that nomination;
but, whether he does or not, the can
didate will be heartily supported by
him as well as his friends. There
need be no concern on that score"
DESPITE the late denouement of
HENRY j. RAYMOND, relative to the
Philadelphia Convention, and the
abuse which It has brought upon
President JOHNSON, it is announced
that he is expected to be present and
make a speech at the Democratic ban
quet on the 9Th Of January, at Wash
ington.
A WAsHINGToN dispatch to the
Springfield Republican says: " Nearly
every member of the Cabinet is in
favor of GRANTS election. There
are good reasons for believing that
SEWARD is Grant man, and Post
master General RANDALL does not
attempt to conceal the fact that he is
for GRANT. The most sincere john
son man in the Cabinet is MCCUL-
LoCH. He sticks closely to the Presi-
dent, and is one of the worst negro
