Political Notes.

THERE are three antagonistic Republican
organizations in New York city, and an effort
is being made to harmonize them.
SEVERAL independent papers in California
are advocating the election of the Republican
nominees for the Supreme Bench, on the
ground that they are the best candidates, and
political issues ought not to enter into judic-
ial election.
THE New York World cautiously says:-"We
will not indulge in the sanguine predictions
common with all parties, at the approach of all
elections. They are the stalest if not the stu
pidest, of electioneering devices, and are al
ways taken at discount, which prevents their
making any real impression.
THE Kennebec Journal says that planta-
tion clerk, in making up his returns from To-
cality where the Democratic vote outnumbers
more than two to oneithe Republican, wishes
to inform the Secretary of State that Mr.
Smith had thirty-eight votes. He does it in
this way:-"For Franklingl, Smith thurgty-
eaight." ..a.4.
AT the Massachusetts Republican Conven-
ton, Wednesday, Hon. f. w. Bird moved that
John Benz. TORI be invited to take seat upon
the platform. Mr.. Sumner then said:-"In
inviting an English friend to the platform,
wish to say I know him as friend of John
Bright, and speak with the voice of the Re-
publicans of Massachusetts when say that
any friend of John Bright will always be well
coined by them"
PERSONS in official positions direct from Mis-
sissippi report the Dent movement as less Wig
orous than its originators expected. The ticket
nominated bears the name of one of the most
marked cases of carpet-bagging among the new
politicians of thesSt and THAT of a negro
who is really illiterate, andlso the mouths of
all speakers are entirely closed. so far as con-
Germs the use of the epithets carpet-bagger,
scallawag and negro, heretofore used by South
ern conservatives. The Republicans no " have
strong hopes of carrying the State.

All persons who may have occasion to use
liquors of any kind for medicinal or mechani-
cal purposes, are informed that the City Agen-
cy is supplied with articles of excellent quail
ty, selected expressly for these purposes. No
liquors will be sold at the Agency except those
purchased Of the State Agent, and they can be
relied on as pure and of standard proof, as GER
titled in the certificates of analysis from the
State Assayer. The price list has been revised,
and only sufficient profit will be charged to
meet current expenses. We think this mode
of conducting the agency cannot fail to receive
public approval. Per Order

it is: and will be while men are foolish and

the late Robert Hull, to be sold at auction on
Wednesday, the 18th day of October next, have
been modified. The intentions of the owners of
these lots is, by designating the class of build
ings to be erected, to give character to the
neighborhood, thereby making the property
more attractive and valuable. The limit of
time during which these restrictions are to con-
tinue has been fixed at 20 years. This period
is considered long enough to establish the
character of the neighborhood, and after that
it can be safely left to the interest of the land
