 It won't be easy, hereafter, to deny that ! the new movement is 8 respectable one. The Johnson Democratic Committee at 1 Washington is levying on office-holders for
 funds. Country post-masters are assessed $5 each
 The Tribune thinks the imprisonment of Coburn and McCoole during the July Con- vention, may iniure tho morale of that body. We hardly think so. Morrissey,
 McMullen and Wood are still delegates 1 Sat large"
 1 The N. I. World don't believe in an an
 tl-negro suffrage plank for the Democratic
 platform. It admits that nearly three
 quarters of million of negroes now vote
 at the South, and that not even a Demo- cratic success in November would stop their
 voting. It wants Southern Democrats to
 get control of their State organizations, and asks the following pertinent question:
 "Would the negroes be more likely to
 vote with them if asked to vote for their
 own dlsfranchisement?" l It gives the white man S party final

 Bromley, of the Hartford Post remarks: 1 ''Litchfield County is not very fully rep ! resented-that is to say-no-on the whole, ] I withdraw the statement-John Cotton Smith is here."
 The ''mixed up state of feeling regard ing tho Presidential nomination is thus re- ported to the Courant: They will nominate Pendleton, or Chase or Hendricks, or George Francis Train, or sfy Rbeo beods 9E sdd Esd sG the Hl snem can carry ten states next November. 'Lets see, Judge said I to 8 prominent delegate an hour ago "what's Hendricks s first name?" ''I-declare-'' he replied, deliberately, "u has slipped nag mt1ad just moao" There is much good feeling toward Chase-an amount of good feeling that ] ought to mortify that distinguished aboli- i tionist-~but most of the delegates feel as
