Political Notes.

George Francis Train is to be formally NOM
mated for Congress, at a public meeting in
Fernando Woods district, next week.
1t seems clear that some of our exchanges
must keep one man constantly employed at
the halliards on their premises, they are SO
constantly running up their flag for new
candidate for the Presidency, and then imme-
diauely thereafter supplanting him with new
favorite.
Judge Lawrence, of the Judiciary commit
tee, has matured bill establishing a Law
Department. The object is to reduce the vast
expenses of the Government for legal advice
by creating department to which all ques-
tons arising in any branch of the Government
may be referred.

The Republican members of the Naval Com
mittee have cut down the estimates of the
Democratic Secretary ofthe Navy almost thir-
ty millions of dollars.
S. d. Clay Esq, Of Gardiner, famliarly
known as "Dud," is stumping New Hampshire
in the interest of the Democrats and "E. T 8"
of that State
According to a Washington correspondent,
Governor Sharl1ey says that he considers the
postponement of the McCardle case to March
as clear indication that the Supreme Court
intends to shirk the same, and he shall accord
lngly go home and abandon the case as next
summer Will be too late for a favorable decis-
ion to avail the South anything.
A brand new "test case" of the constitution
atty OF the reconstruction acts is amonc the
regular dispatches from all parts of the Sontb
and West. They may afford amusement for
Conservative politicians and give the LAWYERS
chance for the display of their legal acumen
but before any Of them are decided reconstruc-
ton is likely to be an accomplished fact.
Gail Hamilton is sharp, but hardly Just in
bringing Congress into her discussion of the
Woman Question" thus: 1.-The Houses of Con-
gress are composed of men, theoretically of
the ablest men in the nation; and in perhaps
the greatest emergency of modern times they
only succeeded in making patchwork Of re-
construction, which the PRESIDENT thrusts his
fingers through the moment they are gone
home; and ii, alarmed, they rush back and
patch up the CHASTITY rent. no sooner is quiet
restored, and Congress dispersed. than the
restless Presidential fingers are polino tbrouob

wise politics, but of skllful workmanship W.
need not inquire whether they are mastars %

A member of the Pennsylvania Legislature
began a speech recently with the remark that
as debate cost the State one thousand dollars
an hour, he would be brief.

RAILROAD PROJECTS IN OsWEGo.-It an
pears that the public mind in Oswego and the
adjacent towns is dividxd between projects to
build on the one hand a new railroad to New
York city and on the other an Ontario shore
road to Lewiston on the Niagara river, con-
Meeting there with the Great Western The
latter route would give the Portland and Og-
densburg road the benefit of an all-ral con-
nection with the West, which would be an I'M
deniabe advantage, though of course the
main object of the Portland route is to tap
the great lakes at Ogdensburg and Oswego.
The following extracts from an article adj
dressed ito the editors of Central New York
by the Hon. Gerritt Smith will sufficiently IL
lustrate the present stage of the controversy
The building of the unhappy Midland road
is not yet given up, on all hands. With my
whole heart 1 wish it were-and, especially.
because Oswego can, hardly, take a step to-
ward building the road from herself to Lewis
ton, whilst the threat of bonding her for six
hundred thousand dollars in aid of the Mid
land hangs over her. And this road to Lew
iston is vital to the welfare of Oswego For.
having it, she will then, and for the first time,
be on thoroughfare, too, for such cities as
Portland and Boston. Boston will never get
back her STEAMSHIP ps-will never have ample
freight for them-until she shall have made,
or, to speak more correctly, have completed
her connection with Oswego And Portland
must draw her life-blood through Oswego as
well as Ogdensburg.
just here, let me say that, for the present.
Oswego needs no other avenues to New York
than those she now has and those, which. al
ready begun, she soon will have. When the
Niagara Ship Canal shall be built, and Oswe-
go shall, consequently, be flooded with West
ern products, then the city of New York will
seek to distance her rivals for those products
by building the true Midland Railroad
1t will be built on the shortest and levelest
route and must, therefore, in passing through
the County of Madison, take the Cowaselon
Valley. 1t will, also, at whatever may be the
cost, be very substantial road; and thus, in
connection with its great superiority IN point
of shortness and levelness, it would, were
there IN existence any such p DOR apology for a
Midland road, as that, which is now contemplate
ed, utterly impoverished it.
1t may, alter all, be that the people of Os-
wego will load their little city with a debt of
six hundred thousand dollars in aid of build
ing this absurdly- located Midland Road.
whilst it is manifest that the aggregate of
of their individual subscriptions toward build :
ing it would not exceed one twentieth of so
great a sum; and whilst it is manifest too.
that the earnings of the road would NOT nav
single dollar of either the principal or inter
est of the wasted six thousand dollars But
if the folly of bonding her for this great and
wasted sum shall be actually committed, who
will De so foolish, as to remove to Oswego?-
and might almost ask who will be SO foolish.

The STATE TREAsURER.-We are glad to
copy from the Argus the following deserved
commentator of the report and justification
of the character of the Republican officer.
There is reallyinothing to be gained by vilifica-
ton and unjust censure of political opponents,
but the opposite opinion appears to nave TAX
en- such deep root among the smaller fry of
politicians that it is pleasure to see lead
ing and influential journal like the Argus
setting so honorable an example. We copy
the closing paragraphs of review of the an
nual report of the State Treasurer:
The views of Mr.. Hichborn upon finance ap-
pear to be emnently conservative and sound
He favor5 an early return to specie payments,
the strictest economy-does not believe that
a national debt is national blessing, and does
believe that sit is competent for the present
generation to pay off its war indebtedness, state
and national, or at least to SO reduce them as
to place all balances under an easy control
and that too without an increase of the bur
dens upon the people," This great results he,
of course, expects to be achieved by the prac-
lice ofthe homely but now mnch neglected
virtue, economy-by putting stop to the
frauds, corruption and extravaganza which
are working our financial ruin We are graf
flied that the Treasury Of our State is thus by
precept and by example exerting his influence
in favor of wise policy with reference to the
State finances. They demand the most rigid
economy and the people will not be slow to
visit the severest condemnation upon any de-
parture from that line of conduct.
A few weeks since we published a communi-
cation from responsible correspondent charg-
ing that Mr. Hichborm is engaged in CONNER
cial pursuits in violation of a provision of the
constitution forbidaing the State Treasurer so
to do. From information since received, we
are satisfied that our correspondent was in
error. That Mr.. III. has still an interest in
navigation is true. 1t has been the business of
his life; but he has turned over to other hands
the care and control of property thus acquired,
so as to bring his case within the purview of
the law in the estimation of members of the
Legislature and others.

TAXATION OF UNITED STATES BoNps.-We
print on the first page of to-day's paper the
elaborate scheme for tue equalization of taxa
ton submitted to the Legislature by Repre-
sentative Morris of this city, with resolves rec
ommending it to the attention of our Repre-
sentatives and Senators in Washington. The
plan rests upon the following propositions:
l. The national government has received
the full benefit of the exemption of its bonds
from local taxation in the higher rates they
have commanded in the market.
2. The national government should there
fore relieve the municipalities from the I'M
equal burdens Which they are now bearing
3. This may be done by registering the
bonds held in the various cities and towns, the
registers to be returned to the State treasurer,
who is thereupon to allow one and one-hali
per cent. on the bonds so returned to the sew
-eral cities and towns on account of State taxes
and collect the aggregate amount of the Unit
ed States.
This plan would partially relieve the IN
equality which now exists, without resort to
the cumbersome and costly expedient OF
changing the form of the entire debt, and
without violating the national faith. The
sums dsbursed by the general government
would not be prOportioned according to Sec
rotary McCullochs plan, to population but to
the amount OF property invested in national
securities and exempt from taxation in each
State. They would be drawn of course from
the national revenue, but that revenue is col
lected by equal laws bearing upon all alike
In short, the proposition is that the
general government should share with tn,
municipalities the profits derived from the ex
emption Gifts bends from local taxation, ant
appears to be the most feasible and unobjec
tionable proposition of the kind which has We
appeared.

We are always glad to write of the changes
that are constantly being made in our city in
the way of reconstruction and improvements,
We are glad to speak of them because we
know it is pleasant to our readers, both in the
city and out, to have their attention drawn to
the manifestations of enterprise that are con.

and those interested in our city. And again
we like to publish any thing of this kind as

so much taste, and spare NO expense in bring

and giving strangers an idea convincing our
citizens that it really is fact)-that our city
government make important ordinances that
the proper officials never put in force. Such
persons are brought into notoriety for short
time; but it lives not beyond tire career Of the
horse. On the contrary, when man erects a
fine substantial building, he is doing some
thing that old and young, rich and poor will
praise him for while he lives, and after he has
passed away. Some of these fine buildings in
our city will stand for centuries as monuments
to the memory of the builders, Those names
will often be brought before the public in con-

as Mr.. Harding makes each design of the orna-
mental part of building independent of all
previous ones. We should say that it partakes
of the composite or rustic style, and that all
the ornaments ON the Middle street front are

EFFECTIVE PREAcH1NG.-In his address at
the centennial celebration of the North church
in Newburybort Mass, the venerable DIR.
Wilmington gave an instancs of effective
preaching The preacher was the Rev, Ma
than Niles, who occupied the pulpit of that
church on the fifth of June, 1874, and he "ltt-
ed up his voice against the law of slavery"
DR.. Wilmington said:
The remarkable effect of the sermon was
this: One of the leading men of the congre-
CATION as was very customary at that day,
owned black slave. The next morning after
the sermon, understand he went to his slave
; and asked him if he would like to be free.

s free. Wen then, said his master, "You are
h iles; Piter hearing that sermon and remem-
pfr,1g mat we are fighting for our liberties,

you want TO be Free" Yet this sermon con-
s saIned only one paragraph against slavery:

also broken or relieved by projections at the
corners and one in the centre, which terminate
on the root in towers. The building has a
frontage of eighty-four feet o n Middle street
and depth of ninety feet. 1t is four stories
high, exclusive of the basement, and is diyided
into two independent stores, each having a
frontage of forty feet on Middle street, and the
full depth OF the building ninety feet. 1t has
been calculated for the firm that occupies one
half the first floor to use the chambers on that
side to the roof.
We understand that Cook g. Stanwood

of these stores, and that another wholesale
firm are negotiating for the remaining one
These stores have plain finish of chestnut

ment In the way of the name Thompson"

quite unique appearance
The front of this building is of pressed brick
and two kinds of freestone. 1t shows plaiuly
that the masonry-which was done by Stewart
has been carefully executed. The Church
street and Garden Lane facades are of brick
and mastic.
This building stands on the Forsaith lot, and
also occupies that part of the Freeman lot,
which was purchased by the late Joseph NJ.

MAJOR B. w. NoRRIs.-The Alabama Sen
tinel pays the following compliment to a
Maine man, now a candidate for Representa-
tive in Congress Of the Third District of Ala
bama:
Maj. ID. w. NoRRIs.-This earnest hard
working Republican has been nominated
unanimously, as candidate for Congress in the
Third Congressional District. This was lust
tribute to one of the ablest and best men of
our party in the State. Conversant as we
are, with his labors in the interest of the Re-
publican party, we do not hesitate to say, that
a more just or suitable nomination could not
have been made. He has labored earnestly in
season and out of season. in the work of true
Reconstruction, and to adorn the principles of
the Republican party in this State, ever since
the close of the war. During the canvass
last summer and fall, We know he gave him
self no rest, in order to secure the Coayen-
ton. And in the Convention, his course was
such as to place him in the front rank of the
leading Republicans. We know, too. that
many of his ideas were embodied in the State
Constitution, which the people of Alabama
will ratify at the approaching election in Feb
luary No one can doubt that he will be a
tower of strength tor Alabama in the Congress
of the United States. We heartily commend
him to the support of the Republicans of the
Third District.
