Political Gossip.

Forney thinks the Republicans
will carry Virginia on the 9th of
July. He also thinks the Rcpubli-
cans will carry Alabama, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Florida
and Arkansas. He comedies that
Georgia is hopelessly gone unless
Congress again intervanes.
President Grant is redeeming his
promise to remove his own APP
piontees when lie finds he has been
misled into the selection of unfit
persons. Already he has removed
two Consuls, three POstmasters, two
Collectors, and one Assessor of Ip-
ternal Revenue, and one Indian
Agent, in accordance with his
pledge, since the adjournment of
Congress.
There is new movement at Wash
ington to make the Alabama claims
question plank in the Republican
l4latfnrm- Tho Democrats dnnnnnnn-
it bitterly, and assert that it is n
plan to get up civil strife. Most
of the Republican politicians express
the mselyes pleased With the move
ment.
Forrey says the Secretary of the
Treasury is reducing the national
debt at the rate of $4,000, 900 per
annum.
The advocates of the total prOhi-
bition of the sale of Intoxicating
drinks in Maine contemplate the
formation of a distinct party organ

Eg The Grand jury of Jefferson
county, GA, has found a true bill
against Wilson Flournoy, a freed
man, for the killing of DR.. iyer, Re
publican member of the Legislature
from tfIat county.-Chicago Tribune.
This case is worthy of note. When
this DR.. Aver was killed, the New
York Tribune, and other Radical IA
pcrs, attributed the murder to the
Ku KluX, and commented upon the
affair as showing tie terrible condi.
ton of Southern society. It was
cited as a ease going to show that
the life Of no man was safe at the
South who did not oppose Northern
Radicalism. 1t was used to Illustrate
Southern sentiment, and to show the
, necessity for military government
The result demonstrates how baseless
is the foundation for this class of stO
ries. Men are paid to write up al
