Bennett, OF the New York Herald, has
made nominations for 1872. he says: 1--WE
may yet witness, four years from next March,
the spectacle of restored Union, symbolized
in the persons of john Quincy Adams and
Wade Eampton-Massachusetts and South
Carolina-marching arm in arm into tho White
House to take possession as its legitimate oc-
cupants for the next Presidential term"
Tho Washington Star says: "Quite num-
ber Of wou.d-be-clerks under government have
been peering about industriousiy in the De-
partments since Tuesday, with the idea of ro-
;tating any Seymour men out and rotating
themselves in. Very much to their surprise
not Seymour clerk is to be found in Office !;
NOT one who was not "a Grant man from the
start The woLld-be's have put their con.
sidering caps on, and are trying hard to figure
out why this is thus"
-Helmbold, the Buchu man, has gone $780,
900 better than Judge Pierrepont. The latter
contributed $4,000 check for the election OF
Grant and Colfax; Helmbold sends check for
$4,000 to the Democrats for the election OF
Seymour and Blair. The significant fact, how
ever, about the business is that Helmbold is
able to give sums of $40 900 in this of-hand way.
Helmbold is the most extensive advertis ,r in
the world, and the result is his income is enor-
nous. ANY business man can acquire for
tune who advertises persistently and extern
siyely; and here comes in little moral for bu-
siness men.
The United States Supreme Court has re-
Gently made an important. decision on the sub
iect of the transfers Of lands protesting to be
an absolute conveyance, but accompanied with
concealed verbal agreement between the par
!, ties securing beni6t to the grantor at the e1-
pense of his creditors. The court says that
the law will not permits debtor in failing cir
cumstances to convey his lands BY deed With
out reservation, and yet occupy 1t for limited
time for, mis-, own benefit. Hence, when
debtor. in pursuance OF a private understand
ing, retains possession, rent free, for one year,
; OF lands sold by him, such conduct creates
secret trust for his benefit, and renders the
conveyance fraudulent as to creditors, and
void. And it made no difference in the legal
aspect OF the case before the court that the
interest reserved was not of great value, and
that the debtor did not intend to defraud his
creditors.
The New York Herald's Paris letter says:
t'The Chassepot gun is complete failure, and
one OF the most dangerous weapons ever sup
piled to an army, and the Emperor, have
reason to believe, is in full accord with the
ordnance officers, and has determined to
change the arms for a better one, and with
that view q new series of experiments have
been instituted, to ascertain whether the arm
can be 80 altered as to become efficient and
praiseworthy. Two hundred and hree'systems
Of alterations have been tried, and it is prob
able that one AN American plan-win be
adopted, and with radical change in the am
munition, the Emperor being satisfied that pa
per Or silk cartridges are not suitable for
breech-.oading arms, and he is determined to
adopt metal cartridge closely resembling that
in use by the United States. And as this radi-
cal change of small arms will require some
time, peace may be considered tolerably secure
until it is effected, unless some other nations
make war. 1t will require eight months for
the French to alter their arms, and you need
mot look for war before next summer"
The Journeymen Printers Co-operatve As

journeymen agresd to contribute each two dol
