Political Notes.

The Chicago Republican radical) thus exults upon
the nominations of Grant and Colfax:-"The nom-
nations yesterday illustrate the westward march OF
empire. The candidates for the two highest offices
in the gift of the people are selected from the two
most powerful States Of the West-ying in close con-
tiguity, side by side. Thus does the country recog-
nze the progress the West has made and the poiti-
cal power she has attained"
The Nashville Gazette-Pendeton and Adams
democrat--thus phiosophically sums up recent
-"Impeachment dead; President still in the
White House, and Stanton in the War Once. No
body hurt. Much ado about nothing. The statu
quo reigns supreme. Some folks like it; but we do
not like it any better now than we did before"
The latest story about the delegates from Virginia
to the New York Convention is that they propose to
take back seat but will advise Hancock's nomina-
tion."
The Chicago Tines--prejudiced democrat--snaps
at Chicago nominations in this way:--"The American
peope--those that inhabt the West, at any rate
need not to be told who Schuyler COfax is. He is
politician OF the smallest cabre OF any that ever
gained, by toadyism or good luck, newspaper pun
beyond the county he lives in. With Grant, the man
of principles, at the head, and Colax, the of
no brains, at the tail, the Jacobin ticket is very
perfect arrangement
The terms Of the seven republican Senators voting
"no guilty. the eleventh article OF impeachment
expire as follOws:-Fessenden of Maine, 1871; Fow-
her, of Tennessee, 1871; Grimes Of Iowa, 1871; Hen
derson OF Missouri, 1869; Ross, Of Kansas, 1871;
Trumbun, of Illinois, 1873; Van Wrinkle, OF West
Virginia, 1862
Several of the republican papers have not yet
learned how spell the OF their candidate for
President, substituting an for an in Ulysses" 1t
is about the same thing, however in Scripture. which
allows the substitution in certain OF an eye for
an e'e, as the Scotch would have it.
The Detroit Free Press prejudiced democrat) says
.the action Of the Chicago Convention retres Gov
crnor Fenon of New York, to the banks of the Como
wango. His name will pass into history and he into
the catfish business"
The same journal supposes "that General Grant
will. OF course accept the nomination rendered him
Mt Chicago. And aso OF course we shall soon have
his resignation Of the ONCE he now holds. There
would be most manifest impropriety in his remain
ing at the head Of the army while running for the
Presidency"
II was announced few days ago that the Presi-
dent had appointed among the visitors to West
Point Mr.. Judd. The ex-Minister to Berlin, con-
ceiv,ng that there was other Judd in America but
himself, assumed he was the appontee and sent the
following despatch to the PRESIDENT
| A. JOHNSON President

Won decline in your telegram OF the 18Th, has not

The Boston Trdvei,er republican, thinks Colfax
would Ill the chair Of the Presidency with force and
fdelity,n II called upon Let Grant get warm in 1t
| first, won't you'
| The Savannah Republican, May 81, exposes trick
| of a Northern radical print to manufacture public
sentiment North. II seems the latter sent telegram
to the editor OF the Republican to telegraph the effect
of the defeat of the eleventh article OF Impeachment
upon the people OF savannah. This was accordingly
| done; but, 10 when the despatch appeared 1t was
altogether OF different color from that which was
sent--literally the difference between white and
