THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.-Dilke, the intel
igent English tourist devotes chapter in his
new volume of travels to the Republican Par.
ty of America. Among other things he says
"The organization of the Republican Party il
hugely powerful; it has its branches in every
township and district in the Union; but it is
STRONG, not in the wiles OF crafty plotters, not
in the devices of unknown politicians, but in
the hearts of the loyal people of the country
Ii there were nothing else to be said to En-.
glishmen on the state of parties in America, il
should be sufficient to point out that, while
the Democracy" claim the Mozart faction Of
New York and the shoddy aristocracy, the pi.
Gus New Englanders, and their sons in the
northwest, are by. vast majority. Republ.-
cans and no side issue should be lowed to
disguise the the fact that the Democratic IL
the party of New York, the Republican the
party Of America" -....,- ....-- ~

rsncy, as the great mistake OF their lives, and
recommends the issue of Certificates OF value
In which all Our greenbacks must, and all our
bonds may, be converted, the certificates being
legal tender but irredeemab!e. There are
many things hard to conceive-the inf nifty Of
space for instance or a volume of Emerson
but Buffers dollar, its nature and value. must
be classed in higher category of difficult
problems. This financial what-is-it will be
come seven days wonder and then be heard
of no more. .

A NUIsANcE.-At each of the entertain
ments given by the Mercantile Library Asso-
citation this season, it has been customary for
number Of men and boys to gather in the
lobby, before the box office, and endeaver to
dispose of their ticket at much less price
than evening tickets are sold at. There is no
objection to any one disposing OF their tickets
If they cannot use them, outside or during the
day, but it is small piece of business to en-
deavor to affect the sale Of evening tickets by
the association. No doubt the Treasurer OF
the Institution would be glad to to buy up the
stock in trade of these youthful Fiske's and
Vanderbilts at fair prices, sooner than to have
the passage to the box Office impeded by their
presence and by their clamerous opportunities
