POLITICAL.

The Democrats of the ninth congressional dis.
trict of Indiana nominated Judge RObt. Lo Wry, Of
Fort Wayne. for Congress.
Nessrs. blaine, of Maine Boutwell,, of Massa.
chosetts; Washburn, of Illinois. and Maynard, Of
Tennessee, are prominent candidates for the
speskership of the next Congress.
The Hons. VIM. T. Hamilton and 0den Bowie
are named In connection with the vacancy 10 the
United States Senate, caused by the resignation
of Reverdy johnson.
Ii is understood at Washington that Chase's
friends will be required to pledge themselves to
support the nominee before the presentation of
the name of their favOrite will be considered as
even in order.
The Democratic nominations for Congress in
Mississippi are now complete, and are as follows
First district, Chas. r. Townsend second, T. n.
Martin; third, .. Z; NJ. Turner; fourth, Geo. L..
Potter; fifth, VIM. Martin.
The House committee on elections have reported
in favor Of giving Mckee the seat of the ninth
Kentucky district, notwithstanding he was beaten
by over one thousand majority, before the people,
by John Y. Brown. grosser outrage could not
be perpetrated.
Vallandigbam says of an article on Buchanan
and Vsllandigham, published in "frst.class"
evening paper in large Western city: " Evil
IDENTIFY the writer expects reply; he is ambitious
OF q kick. He will be disappointed. He is not
the first little yellow dog which has barked from
the other side OF worm fence at an honest
passef-by and received no notice."
We learn from Washington that the Chase move
ment is gathering new strength at the capital. Il
is whispered that Butler, with several other radi-
cal patriots and heroes, will 60 over, bag and
baggage, TO Democracy if Chase is nominated by
the New York Convention. Butler proposed to
uncork himself on Grant.

Politicians change suddenly as the weather.
The other day several, il not nearly ALL of the
Tammany leaders we're for Chase for the presi.
dency-to-day they are against "0ld Green.
backs" and are pronouncing for Seymour. We
will not be at all surprised TO find Mr.. Seymour
the nominee of the Fourth of July convention.
He is the sblest and most popular man of his
party.-IN. Y. Commercial Advertiser, 18th.
General Grant and friends express themselves
as more than satisfied that the impeachment
turned out providentially as it has. Mr.. Chase
attends the Methodist chapel here; his daughter,
Mrs. Sprague. is an EpiscOpslian; General Grant
goes 70 DIR. sunderland's church, Presbyterian.
The congressman all want TO go home to get on
the stump. Senator Yates made a speech ex.
pressing dissatisfaction with the Chicago platform
the other day. He has recovered health, and
looks a great deal better.
Washington Letter Chicago Tribune.
The radicals OF Washington having failed to
elect their candidate, Congress is TO il for them
ust as II has fixed so many other little matters of
that sort. The soldiers not having voted as the
radicals wished, Congress il to ignore the votes
of the soldiers. A Washington dispatch saws that
Congress egislated cautiously in reference to the
voting Of these soldiers, because il did not choose
70 allow the president to carry important elections
st different points by concentrating troops there"
What.wil become of the loyal Grant if the rebels
can carry any election they choose by "concen-
trating troops!" Something is the matter with
the boys In blue or with the radical party.
