Political NIlsceIlany.

General Gillem has ordered the election In Missis.
sippi to take place on the 22d OF June
The Lynchburg Virgtntan, referring to the judg.
ment expressed that the Chicago nominations have
killed radicalism and split the party In twain,
says:-"In this opinion we concur fully, and we
believe that the democrats have only to act with
proper degree OF wisdom to insure the overthrow
Of the Chicago ticket platform and all. Let them
nominate Hancock and Adams, or place Pendleton
second on the ticket-not rs-and success is almost
assured. Impeachment and negro suffrage will finish
the work now so well begun, and bury the radical
party under weight Of popular odium."
The Albany EUent,,g Journal says:-"'The New York
delegation stood nobly by Fenton at Chicago. TIiey
abored strenuously and with creditable sucecss.u
The Philadelphia Press pronounced Fenton the Gag
gressive candidate"
The St. Louis Times-prejudiced-says the 'news
OF the nomination Of Grant fell upon dun and indif-
ferent ears. There was no excitement no enthusi-
asm and no appearance Of any interest in the pro-
ceedings."
The Richmond whio states that John G. Breckin-
ridge the body servant Of General Brecknridge dur
ing the war, has taken the stump in Campbell
county, and is making effective speeches In behalf Of
the conservative cause.
Wisconsin editor remarked recently:-"If An
drew Johnson gets clear 1t will not aec our politics.
but 1t viii give our religion an awful strain"
witty democrat says the eleventh article was
taken up first scriptural grounds, the mpeach-
hoped that little 'leven would leaven the whole
lump.
disguised Virginia politician, named John Hod-
kin, publish the following card:-"T this day sever
my connection with oil political organizations. and
shall hereafter endeavor to pay more attention to my
future salvation"
1t is said that Long John wentworth sent the fol-
lowing despatch To Senator Trumbull:-"The radical
republicans of Illinois respectfully suggest that q
few inches of Dick Yates whskey might be good for
your nerves."
The Mobile Tribune says-"The more we learn of
the New York Convention the more we are convinced
that the South is invited by Belmont to send dele.
gates only that he may attempt to buy them for
mess of pottape.u

WoMEN's RIGHTS AT CHICAGo.-It is a re-
markable fact that there was not speech
made in the Chicago Convention and that not
word is said in the republican national plat
form about women's rights. Had some of our
womens rights women been on hand and
demanded voice of the Convention they
might perhaps have obtained hearing, or
secured at least the nomination of ''Old Ben
Wade" who is pledged to women's rights as
well as niggers' rights. Why was it that Mrs.
Lucy Stone Blackwell or Mrs. Antoinette L.
Brown, or their colored feminine colaborer,
Mrs. Sojourner-in-th the Valley Of -Tribulation
Truth, was not present in the Convention to
demand equal rights to women2 But they
have still chance with the democracy. Let
the ladies' pioneer corps on women's rights,
headed by the lion Of Omaha and the prophet
of the Fenians, and the champion of unpro-
tected females George Francis Train, be early
on the ground at Tammany Hall on the 4th
of July, and on women's rights they may WELD
the balance of power.

MIR. Burlinsamc,s Mission.

The Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plen-
ipotentary for China, who arrived at New York
on Friday, with his companions-tw magnates
of the Chinese empire-and with large reti-
nue. of secretaries, interpreters and servants
has already visited the Park, one of the
greatest institutions of New York the ''White
Fawn," the successor of the "Black Crook" at
Niblo's Garden the galleries of one or two prin-
cipal photographers and the Century Club. The
Chamber of Commerce on Saturday appointed
committee to wait upon the Chinese Embassy
and welcome its members to the city. In a
few days Mr.. Burlingame will go with his EN-
bassy to Washington and make known to the
cial objects of its mission, so far as the govern
ment of the United States is concerned We
hope that the administration and Congress, and
oil in authority at Washington, will not fail to
seize this opportunity for establishing amicable
relations with China. Nothing should be neg
lectsd to open widely the aeor to the immense
prospective advantages which such relations
promise and will secure.
After visiting Washington it is probable that
Mr.. Burlingame will go to Havana and OBJ
serve the nefarious workings of the coole
trade, which in many respects is no less horrible
than the old African slave trade. Passing over
to Jamaica, the Chinese Embassy may sail
thence to England and initiate at the Court Of
st. James the delicate and important negotia-
tions which Mr.. Burlingame has been instructed
to make with the great European Powers. In
two points our government has the advantage
over the transatlantic nations First, in the
fact that Mr.. Burlingame has been the Minister
Of the United States to China and second, in
the fact that in this capacity he so fully won
the confidence and good will of the Chinese
Emperor as to be appointed Minister of China
to. the United States and to the nations of Eu-
rope. Such an appointment is uuprecedente
in the history Of international intercourse. 1t
certainly will not be the fault of the Emperor of
China If our own government is not placed first
in the ranks Of the most favored members Of
the great family of nations with which the
Chinese empire seeks alliance. The immediate
and the more remote benefits of intimate diplo-
matte and commercial relations between China
and the United States will prove incalculably
great.
