There Is a German - schuetzenfest = in
New York. to which the House Of Represen-
tatves have sent committee This little
attention to a German sport, is, we suppose,
u harmless way our legislators have of bid
ding for the German vote.
Judge Chase chances for the nomination
in the New York Convention are supposed to
be nothing.
The Mississippi election is yet in doubt,
both parties claiming the victory. The DEM

land Herald in noticing the Orange County
Republican nominations, speaks handsomely
of Col. Farnham, and has also their just re-
marks concerning the Republicans of Brad
ford, and their treatment by the Legisla-
ture last fall.
1t is also due to say that the Republicans

the political majority in the hands of their
opponents after great expense and persistent
effort of the Republicans in showing fraud at
the polls. We trust no trades in future will
be made for local purposes-ln Legislature
having a Republican majority-that will
insult the feelings and rights ola struggling
minority of their own party, as was done in
the case alluded to.
