HE JUDICIAL Commemorative think
a great mistake was made in calling this
convention at Dodgevile. We care moth
ing for locality, so far rs the result is con-
cerned, for that most likely would not be
affected by it's but we do think that the
convenience Of the delegates should have
been consulted. DodgeviIle is the most
inaccessible town in the district, and for
the accommodation of the people the con-
ventlon had far better have been called at
Madison or Milwaukee, An effort is on
foot to have the place of meeting changed,
and we sincerely hone it will be successful.
p. du CHEN Union.
The Union is sorely troubled about the
Judicial Convention. First, thought the
call was ''bogus." Took the perious re-
sponsibility, without life insurance pol
icy, of publishing the call. Second, thinks
Dodgesille cannot be come to or gone from.
We would say, for the information OF
the Union, and to set the matter at rest.

LEGAL TENDERS ABOLISHED Chief
Justice Chase of the U. S. Supreme Court,
has rendered decision relating to the
power of Congress in authorizing legal
tender notes.
The resgesta of the decision is, that the ex-
istence Of war was the only justification in
issuing legal tender notes that all con-
tracts made prior to 1862 are to be paid
in coin, and that Congress now has no
further power to authorize the issue of
any more legal tenders.

s-~-
The following advertisement appeared in
the New York Tames,. on the I'd inst,
whereupon Congressman Stevens, of New
York, introduced resolution, which pass
ed in the House of Representatives, call
ing for the investigation of cases wherein
members of Congress have been implca-
ted in selling their influence to secure APP
pointments.
The advertisement runs thus:
"UNlTED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY
VACANT CADETsHIPs TO BE FILLED BEFORE
~ JUNE. &
Parties of means may address Con
gressman,' box l47, Times office. Also
West Point vacancy" mao III
Mr.. Stevens thought it one Of the cry
ing evils of the day that to hold office was
deemed dishonorable, and that to have the
name OF politician was little better than
to be called thief; and it was just such
| articles as that which brought members of
Congress into disrepute. He therefore of.
tered resolution reciting the publication
of the advertisement and authorizing the
COMMITTEE on Military Affairs to inquire
as to whether any member of the House
has ever sold or offered to sell his influ-
ence as member in securing appoint
ments to the Military or Naval Academy,
and whether any member had received or
expressed Willingness TO receive any val
liable consideration for using his influence
in connection with such appointments,
with power to send for persons and papers.
Mr. Woodward expressed the hope that
the resolution would be adopted. A lady
of the highest responsibility in his district
had informed him before he left for Con-
gress that she had received letter from a

An amusing scene says the journal de Paris,

honest countryman was present to see play for

terrible incidents was being performed. One
scene represented a storm. The theatre was
sombre, and the stage fitted up as the hall Of

Budget of Jim.

A young gentleman, anxious to learn to sing,
went up into the garnet, one Sunday night about
bed time, and resolately commenced his exercise
with his psalm book. He had been singing but
short time, when his father, fidgetty old gen.
tlemat, stole out Of his bedroom, with his night
cap on, and on reaching the foot of the stairs,
mildly inquired
'James"
No answer. James very busy with his ex.
ercise.

Presently James resumed his exercises, and
was getting on famously, as he thought, when
his parent, like the ghost of Hamlets father,
again walked forth, exclaiming-

every well-very well. No matter" and he
again returned to his room
Wondering what his father meant by inquir-
ing after the house-dog, Bose, James was silent
for a minute but soon returned TO his exercises
more vigorously than ever. Again, however. he
was interrupted by the voice Of his parent,
shouting:
James
.'Sir.'

'What makes you think so, sir?'
''Why, for the last half hour l have heard

overwhelming compliment.

which prevailed in their ranks. The
Democratic majority is not so large
as in previous elections, and the quiet
ness of the election. thanks to Gen.
Grants frmness, will have very
beneficial effect upon future contests.
Here, too, the Republicans were
divided on the tariff question. The
bitterness and extent of this division
may be estimated by the fact that the
New York EUening Post, the most
radical Republican paper in that city,
supported s. S. Cox for Congress
against Horace Greeley. With such
quarrels existing in the Republican
party, it is rather as .onishing that it
made any show of strength at the
polls.
In Kentucky the Republicans
gained some local victories that will
have a tendency to inspire them to
put forth greater efforts hereafter,
The fact that the Republican candi.
dates carried the town Of Henderson
by majority of 126, and the city Of
Paducah, shows what the party may
reasonably hope for in future contests
if it will only perfect its organization
and contest the field from the very
beginning.

The Elections.

The returns of the elections on
Tuesday, so far as they have reached
US. do not indicate any material
change in the strength of the two par
ties, so far as there was any test of
strength. The Democrats may have
gained a few Congressman. though
that is not fully apparent at this
writing. They have been making
loud boasts of immense gains, but the
returns do not make good the boasts.
The Republicans. considering that it
is the fatal 'off year" in politics, have
held their own with surprising firm
ness. In many Congressional Dis
tricts the Republicans were hopelessly
divided on questions of tariff and
finance, and the result is, we lost a
few Congressman at the October cleo
tions, and probably q few more on
Tuesday.
The Democracy, because of these
divisions among Republicans, secured
a substantial victoryia getting control
of the County of st. Louis, Missouri,
and the Brown and McClurg factions
have the satisfaction of knowing they
cut each others threats, while the
Democrats quietly pocket the spoils
after which they have been banker
ing for several years. 1t makes but
little difference who is Governor of
Missouri, but it does make a great
difference which party secures the II
cal Offices. The Democrats of St. Louis
in supporting Brown, displayed rare
strategy, while the Missouri Democrot
and other Republican leaders, who
bolted the Convention, played the
fool most completely. They will re-
al;ze their mistake before many
months pass away, unless they have
deliberately made up their minds to
become part and parcel of the Demo
cratic party in future contests.
