THE ADMINISTRATION AND TIE VIRGINIA
ELECTION. Albany Euening Journal
does not deny that the administration feels an
interest in the result Of the Virginia election,
which takes place tomorrow, and adds that,
''as Wells represents unadulterated republi-
can sentiment, while Walker is suspciously
in sympathy with the most violent enemies of
the party, it (the administrator hopes for
the triumph Of the radical ticket" 1t will be
seen in a very short time how far these hopes
will be realized; but the present indications
are that the administration is doomed 10 dis
appointment, If not to become the victim of
misplaced confidence even so far as the negro
vote is concerned in Virginia. But ''there is
no telling who Is Governor until after cleo

CRY Politics. From our latest review by
special reporter it appears that city politics
are at dead low water; that Tammany, with
the bulk of the city spoils under her thumb, is
easy in the consciousness of her strength,
while the republicans over the federal Offices
are wrangling and splitting up into fighting
factions worse than ever before; that having
secured the Governor, Tammany is now laying
her pipe for the Legislature, and that "by
hook or by crook, or by what Tony Lumpkin
would call "the rule of thumb" she expects
to win; but as there is many slip twxt the
cup and lip" all these fine calculations of
Tammany may be spoiled before November.
The question of the adoption of the new
State constitution, for instance, will be apt to
make pretty clean party fight, and outside
of this metropolitan district we know what
that means.

THE DRUM FISH AMONG THE OYSTERS. 1t
appears that the drum 0sh are making sad
havoc among the oysters in Princes bay and
thereabouts, and that CONSERVATION prevails
among the oystermen in view of the great
''school" Of these rapacious Southern drum
fish raiding among the oyster beds. The
only immediate remedy is a combined attack
upon these Southern invaders of our oyster
fields by all the shell-fish men of Staten Island,
Jersey, Sandy Hook, Shrewsbury, Coney
Island and Long Island. In uniting as
band of brothers against these piraticul drum
fish they can soon be cleared out. Moreover,
is not the drum fish prime article for the
market2 He is esteemed first rate down
South, and ought TO be, inasmuch as he lives
upon oysters

The Irish Church BiIl-A Third Party
Speaks.

A cable despatch informs us that Cardinal
Cullen, the Catholic Archbishop of Ireland,
has just addressed letter to the Catholic
College, stating that if the Irish Church bill is
mutilated by the Peers the nation must have O
fuller measure Of justice. AT the same time
we are told that the London Times has come
out editorially against the amendments of the
Lords. According to the 1ymes, the amend
ments of the Lords make the bill more favor
able to the Established Church aud more
offensive in its provisions. 1t Is manifest,
therefore, that turning point has been
reached in the history Of the bill. Mr. Glad
stones bill was completely satisfactory to the
Catholics of Ireland; but 1t is the conviction
of the Catholics that, if the Lords have their
way, they will perpetuate offensive distinc-
tions. In these circumstances 1t will not be
wonderful if the bill, which, of course, will be
sent down to the Commons in its amended
form, be sent back to the Lords in Its original
shape. 1t is far from impossible that this
Irish Church bill may yet prove fruitful source
of trouble. This outburst of popular feeling
will be all the more embarrassing to the
Ministry that they have promised to introduce
a clause to meet the wishes of the Lords, pro-
vding that the Irish bishops shall retain their
seats in the Upper House.

A SMALL BUsINEss-The continued oppo-
sition of the several departments at Washing
ton to the applications of Mrs. DR.. Mary
Walker for small clerkshp. 1t is evident
that this opposition arises from the facts that
Mrs. DIR. Walker is womans rights woman
that she wears pantaloons and a frock coat.
like gentleman, instead Of wearing hooped
skirt and panier, like lady. But what of
all this? In education and experience in
business affairs she is, perhaps, the superior
of almost any woman in the Treasury Depart
ment, and of most of the men, too. More
over, in the war she did good service in the
Union cause among our sick and wounded
soldiers, and this ought to be enough. We
think, too, that if she will only submit this
claim directly to General Grant she will not
be rejected any more. This trifing and badi-
mage with a poor woman, honest and intelli-
gent and in search of work which she is fully
competent to do, is small business.

Town AND COUNTRY ON THE FOURTH. The
town flies to the country to escape the noise
and nuisance of re-crackers, and the country
comes to town to see the fun. Hence the pro-
verb that the city on the Fourth is only for the
boys and the greerhorns of the country. In
any event let the American eagle spread his
wings from New York TO San Francisco, and
while drinking the refreshing ice water of
Alaska dip his tail ia the Gulf of Mexico-for
he is the bird TO do it.

The FINE ARTS IN FRANOE.-We pub
lished yesterday our Paris correspondents
third letter on the exhibition of fine arts at
the Palais de rIndustrie The letter confirms
our first Impressions that the paintings ex-
hibited this year show more taste and talent
than genius. But it pronounces more salts
factory verdict on the statuary, which evinces
genius as well as taste, and, moreover, hope
fully indicates that the exclusive traditional
reign of ''the nude" confning the sculptor
almost entirely to the choice of antique, mytho-
logical and sylvan subjects, is nearly at an
end. 1t is gratifying to learn that among the
best bronzes fine work by an American
sculptor, Mr.. Hasetine, Of Philadelphia, has
attracted universal notice. ''There is sublm-
ity in this work and remarkable aspiration,
leaving matter far behind" Its title Is
Excelsior. American art except in few
instances of successful landscape painting,
has attained its highest superiority in sculp-
ture.

Mr.. SEWARD IN SAN FRANCISCO. Mr.. Sew
ard. our distinguished cx-Secretary of State,
has had a glorious reception in San Francisco
Those people remember his services in the
Senate in behalf Of California as free State
and in behalf of the Pacific Railroad, and they
are particularly proud of his purchase of Alas
ka. We believe he is going up there, and If
so, his reception by the Alaskans, aboriginal
Russian and Yankee, will be splendid, and their
presents of fur capes, white bear and silver
fox skins, seal skins, walrus teeth in necklaces,
whale oil, smoked salmon and dried Goldfish
will require a steamboat to bring them away.

Government Advertising D0dgcs.

IL appears that in the War Department q
considerable number of Treasury leaks have
been discovered in the matter of the govern
ment advertising, and that there is, or has
been, a loossness in the management of this
business which has enabled the Washington
newspapers so far, by various ingenious
lodges, to make something handsome out Of
the government without special or general
authority by law. We are gratifed to hear
that such discoveries have been made We
know from the Corporation advertising Of this
city how this business is made to support
newspapers which otherwise would soon starve
to death; but as our taxpayers seem to be
satisfied whether our Corporation expenses are
fifteen, twenty or twenty-five millions year
we drop the subject. But the national govern
ment advertising is another matter. The
national Treasury is not 80 fiush Of funds and
and cannot longer afford to indulge in such
luxuries as the squanderinG Of millions Of
money with nothing TO show for It. The New
York city tax levy, with us to have to foot the
bills, makes all right, and If IL grows faster
than the city, our citizens being agreed, there
Is an end Of the controversy. Not 80 is It
with the national Treasury. Retrenohment
and reform must there be enforced, or we
shall some fine day, and within o few years,
have collapse. Hence, we say, let even
these government advertising leaks be stopped,
and II the newspapers concerned die In conse-
quence let them die The government can GOT
on without them

THE CASE OF DOUGLASS, THE CoLoRED

question Of recognizing the eligibility to

From the report of the committee of the

published yesterday, we think 1t probable that
Douglass will come of victorious in decision
that there must be equal rights in labor, with
out distinction of color.

BEHIND THE TINES. A Missouri paper
states that a movement is on foot in New York
among dissatisfied republicans to ''press Chief
Justice Chase for the Presidency in 1867" A
movement of that sort, we believe. was at
tempted in this city year later but, II we
recollect Alright, it was smothered unto death
even as poor Desdemona was by her dusky
lover, by the "Big Injun" Of Tammany. What
may be attempted in 1872, in regard to Chase
and the Presidency is altogether different
matter.

"Poor Pierce'' ON tho Political Situation.
We publish this morning the report of late
conversation with ex-P President Pierce On the
political situation. From this report 1t
appears that he is not satisfied with the re-
construction doings of Congress-that he
thinks we are getting on too slowly towards
specie payments that he inclines to the
diplomacy of Reverdy Johnson on the Ala
bama claims that he thinks we are not pre-
pared for war with England; that he can
not understand the notwithstanding activity
of the administration in regard to Cuba, and
that he has no faith in the women's rights
movement He has nothing to say about
his successors in the White House, in which
he sets good example for Andy Johnson;
and, altogether, as we understand him,
''poor Pierce" has had enough of politics
and is satisfied to rest on his laurels. We
infer that he is still democratic Bourbon
but that signifies nothing 80 long as he is
disposed to keep quiet In the will of the
late ex-President Buchanan it was discovered
that he had not invested a dollar of his
funds in United States securities, and if ex-
President Pierce, Of the same school, is in the
same way of thinking, it makes no difference,
since, according to the latest reported opinion
of ex-President Fillmore, we are drifting to
despotism. The world moves on, and they
who cannot keep up must be left behind.

which occasionally urges iSdyiduais, and
even communities, to subordinate the body

Hence they prepare for healthful re-

fresh air by Sunday trips to the Park or
some one of our elegant suburban villages.
This process of recruitment, bodily and
mental, is in full progress just now. So that
