Political Notes.

Kansas authority says Train did the
woman's rights cause there more harm than
good; that hisl hifalutin flattery completely
turned Miss Anthony's head, and she appar-
entity fell in love with him, and it being for the
first time with any man, the emotion struck
deep and SO the great cause was sacrificed to
an affection.
The Chicago Tribune says that Mr.. Pendle-
ton claims to be the author of two theories:
That "the public debt may be repudiated by
its forced conversion into iriedeemable stump
tail currency" and that Slavery, as it existed
prior to the war, has never been abolished, but
the constitutional right of the owner to his
slave property yet remains, and is indestructi-
ble."a The Democracy of the Northwest pro-
pose to enter the campaign upon these two is
sues.
Inc Democratic House of Representatives
in OHIO, has rescinded the assent of that State
to the Constitutional amendment, by a strict
party vote, 90 to 81.
AT the Democratic State Convention of
West Virginia, last week, it was resolved
THAT we regard the creation of the State ot
West Virginia as one OF the United States Of
America as fact accomplished, declare our
such, and to this end pledge ourselves TO Use
our best efforts to not only make her respecta-
BILE, but alike respected with her older sisters"
The joint committee of the Massachusetts,

The GENEALooT OF REpuDIArIoN.-An ex-
change says the infationists do not know what
discreditable precedents they have for their
schemes. A similar measure was proposed by
the adherents of Shay's Rebellion in 1876, and
in their meeting at Worcester, Mass, they
passed resolution to the following effect:
This Convention recommends to the several
towns in this county, that they instruct their
representatives to use their influence in the
next General Court, to have emitted bank OF
paper money, subject to depreciation, making
it tender in all payments equal TO silver and
gold, to be issued in order to call in the Com
monwealth's securities.

TaE Peck BOND CAsE.-Hon. Woodbury.
Davis, OF this city, having been present during
the debate in the House of Representatives ON
the case OF Pecl's bondsmen, afterwards ad-
dressed a communication to the Kennebec
Journal in relation to the matter. He denies
that the boLdsmen have made any attempt TO
escape from liability in the case except by ac-
tual payment, They defended the suit against
them, because they hold that large part of
the deficit claimed of them is actually charge
able on another bond for different year and
with different sureties. The suit has been de-
cided against them but the amount for which
they are liable has not been determined. The
sum would regularly be fixed by a court, but
by the resolve passed by the Legislatures last
winter, which was not enacted at the request
of the bondsmen, the Governor and Council
ana the suretes were authorized to refer it, or
it might be submitted directly to the Cove rncr
and Council. When the sureties appeared by
counsel before the Governor and Council in
June, that body decided that no bond should
be required to secure the payment of the sum
fixed upon, as was contemplated By the re-
solve OF the Legislature, because the bondsmen
concluded to refer the matter directly to the
Governor and Council. Judge Davis then
shows how it has happened that there has
been delay in the hearings which were sub
sequently to be had before the Governor and
Council without any fault of the bondsmen or
the counsel. The concluding paragraph of
Judge Davis, communication is as follows:
Mr. Dow, whose name alone seemed to be
noticed, for what easons cannot say, has re-
turned home. That he did what seems to have
been thought to be common before that time
by State Treasurers receive accommodations
from Peck he never denied, nor concealed.
That he supposed he was doing any thing wrong
no one who knows him will for momeut be-
lieve He knew his own abundant means for
paying, at call, any loans made to him. That
he did afterwards pay to the State several
thousand dollars which he had previously paid
to Peck, is well krown,-being a heavy loser
besides his liability as surety. And that he
and his co-sureties are now ready, and for
whole year have been, to pay all that is justly
due ON their bond, whether fixed by trial IN
Court, or by the Governor and Council.

EXCITEMENT IN WAsHINGToN.-The intere st
felt at the national capital in the ps esent
ministerial crisis" extends in something of
its intensity to all parts of the country. BY
yesterdays mail we received additional intel
ligence of considerable Importance. Among
the many incredible rumors is one from the
Washington correspondent Of the Boston
Journal to the effect that Gen. Grant was
guilty of q breach of good faith in retiring
from the War Department without previous
ly notifying the President in accordance with
an agreement made some time before This
authority says that the first intknation recev-
ed at the White House of Grants withdraw
al was upon receipt of the following note, an
hour or more after Stanton had taken poss-
ession: .-
TO His Ercelleacy Andreso John son, President
of the United States:
Sir: Il have the honor to enclose herewith an
official notice received by me last evening of
the action of tho Senate of the United States
in the case of the suspension of Hon. Edwin
NJ. Stanton, Secretary of War.
According to the provisions of section of
an act regulating the tenure of civil officers,
my functions as Secretary OF War ad interim
ceased from the moment OF the receipt OF the
within notice.
l have the honor TO be, very respectfully,
a8.. Your obedient servant,
-.- U. S. GRANT"
The President did not receive the official
notification of the Senate's action on the case
till O'Clock Tuesday morning though it was
sent to him on Monday evening.
There are many speculations as to the course
which Stanton will now take. He did not go
to the White House, Tuesday. though there
was a cabinet meeting that day. When Gen.
Grant called upon the President Tuesday
morning the latter told him that Mr.. Stanton
would not be recognized by him as Secretary
of War although he did not raise any objec-
tions against his occupying an Office in the
War Department if the officials there chose
to permit him to- Perhaps the President will
ignore the Secretaryof War altogether, and
issue his orders to the army through General
Grant. Some go so far as to intimate that un-
less General Grant obeys the President, and
refuses to obey the Secretary, he will be placed
under arrest, and Lieut.. Gen. Sherman placed
in command of the army. lao sss sta3fso8 w

FOREIGN NEWS 1TEMs.-The Paris papers
exhibit good deal of nervousness in relation
to- the present position of the Eastern ques-
ton. The movements of Russia are closely
watched. A Congress of Russian Diplomat
atsts have recently been in session at St. Pc
tersburg. The Russian Ambassadors at Con-
stantinople, Paris and Vienna-Gen. Ignatieff,
Count Won Budberg Count Stackelberg and
Count Won Berg, assembled under the Presi-
dency of Prince Gortchakoff, and the meeting
OF these eminent persons is generally attribut-
ed to the necessity which is felt of having a
precise line of policy in the event OF the COM
plications which are expected to occur in the
east. The Auenir National of Dec. 80, says the
news from the easd is most disquieting The
Candiote movement has assumed such proper
tions that Hussen Pacha has been obliged to
ask for reinforcements from Constantinople.
The Cabinets Of st. Petersburg and of Athens
support the insurgents by money and sympa-
thy, and are only waiting to give them more
effective aid. Moreover, the Servians support
the menacing demands of the Montenegrins,
and the Russian agents are travelling through
Bulgaria, and stirring up the inhabitants to
revolt. The Opinion Nationale of the same
date, calls upon Austria, France and England
to unite and make common cause against the
common enemy, Russia.
The Paris EpoQae of December 30 Contra
dieting the rumors that an understanding ex-
listed between Russia and England states that
not only does no such understanding exist,
but that the relations between the Cabinets
of st. Petersburg and London have been for
some days past cool rather than amicable.
The rumors from Paris as to the relations of
France and Italy continued to be of very
disqnieting nature. Many of the French jour-
nails, of all shades of politics, speak in way to
famiiarize the public mind with the prospect
of war. The French Government is said to
threaten that in case of Garibaldian move
ment, France win occupy not only the city of
Rome, but the italian frontiers.
A Florence dispatch dated Dec 2S, says
that the Italian Government has submitted
the question of the payment of the Italian
portion of the Pontifical debt to the court of
Contenzioso Diplomatico at Florence
The Italian Government has undertaken to
finish the Mt. Gents tunnel, aud open it to the
public, by 1871.

The COMMERCIAL HoUsE.-Mr Cram, for
mery OF the Elm House, has leased the Com
mercial House, lately built at che corner of
Fore and Cross streets by j. B. Brown and Fl.
n. Jose, and fitted it up splendidy. He has.
already some thrty-ive boarders, and his tran
sient company for the past tive or three days
and since he opened, has been very large On
the first floor is the Office, kitchen, BARRIERS
room, wash room, &c. On the second is the
parlor, which is very tastefully furnished.
There is also on this floor dining room and
several sleeping rooms, all large, airy and well
lighted, and fitted up in bmanner that gives
them decidedly cosy and homelke appear
ance. On the third and fourth floors are num-
erous pleasant sleeping rooms. In all there
are 60 chambers, and we did not see one that
was OF comfortably large AMI we'll lighted.
OF the table we can also give very favora-
Bile report, it having been our pleasant fortune
to dine at Mr.. Grams Widespread board to-
getler with other representatives of the press
of our city-and it was one of those occasions
when the press representative can consider
himself truly fortunate. All seemed to do jus.
tice to the good things, and we expected some
speaking, but the big guns were too full for
utterance. If there had been any talking, we
think our brethren of the Star and Transcript
could have made themselves interesting on
piscatorial subjects. AS it was, their illustra-
tons were Suggestive.
