A Washington dispatch says another ca
detship case yet unpublished is that Of Joel
F. Asper of Missouri-one of the Military
Committee who signed the report for the ex-
pulsion of Whittemore-and Whittemore
says be has seen letter written by this men,
Der of offering the bargain and sale of APP
pointments. Another member says substan-
TALLY the same thing. An army officer had
written to the Committee, saying that he
knows eight or ten officers, graduates of
West Point, whose appointments were by
purchase from Democratic members of for
mer Congresses. The question whether ca
dets' appointments tormoney, and from places
outside members districts are legal and valid
appointments, or whether cadets so appoint
ed could be dismissed from the academy, was
referred to the Attorney General some time
since. That officer decided that cadet hav-
ing been sworn into the service could not be
displaced except by joint action Of both
branches of Congress.

CANADIAN POLITIcs.-Hon. Mr.. McDou-
gall, lately would-be Governor of Winnipeg
Territory, and formerly Minister of Public
Works, has formally withdrawn from the sup
port of the Canadian ministry and arrayed
himself with the opposition. A still more
important detection is that of Sir Alexander
7. Gait. The correspondent of New York
Tribune has the following concerning Gait
and the effect of his course upon Canadian
politics:
Sir Alexander Tilloch Gait, M P. for the
town of Sherbrook, is son of the late John
Gait, Scottish novelist of repute. He is in
the very prime of life, vigorous, educated and
one OF the finest orators in the Dominion
His fluency and art in his budget speeches,
the ease with which he handles and combines
figures, the ingenuity and talent with which
he invests such dry subjects with interest-in
these qualifications his admirers claim that he
is only inferior to Gladstone. He has been
Finance Minister on every occasion save
when his party was in power, and then he
twice refused the portfolio. No other man in
Canada can compete with him, and he, am
informed, has made sad havoc with budgets
and estimates, when he was in opposition to
Mr., Holton or Mr.. Rowland. His reputation
is that of brilliant though unsafe fnancier.
He is wealthy and a large owner of property
in Portland.
He has always been accused of American
tendencies, having taken part in the annexa-
ton fasco o. 1S4S. Last year he came into
prominence as the probable leader of the In
dependence party, and was knighted by the
queen, but not until he had laid before Her
Majesty full statement of his convictions on
the independence question, and received the
assurance that his acceptance of the honor of
knighthOod in no measure interfered with his
views While he processes loyalty, and states
his honest beliefin the possibility of Canadian
independence without annexation, cannot
help stating that the American party here seem
to look upon him as a true friend. He is the
representative man of the Eastern townships,
and commands large personal following.
All these facts being considered, you will see
that he is heavy loss TO the present Govern
m mel heard the day before yesterday that
t n,s secession would probably be succeeded by
VIC iormstlon OF a new political party COM
P9seu Vi the Eastern townships, moderate
Liberals, and refractory Conservatives. Such
party, under the lead of Messrs' Cali and
McDougall, would be sure to swallow nm and
digest the various groups now in disoraa p
opposition, and to draw largely from he sun.

Political NOtea.

IT appears to be mistake about RevePs
succeeding JEFF. Davis in the Senate He sue
ceeds Albert G. Brown. Gen. Ames is elect
ed as the successor of Davis.
IT is reported that twenty-five gentlemen
of Bangor will furnish the sum of 100000
requisite to secure the removal of the State
Government to that city.
The people of New Hampshire have found
that the Labor Reform and Democratic par
ties are substantially identical, and that a vote
for Flint for Governor is really a vote for
Bedel.
THE N. Y. Sun calls the attention of Con-
gress to the fact that no American man-of-
war vessel is stationed at Havana, and says
that within fifty miles of the American coast
our own vessels have to be escorted out of the
port of nation with which we are supposed
to be at peace by British man-of-war.
The Concord Republican Statesman con-
cludes after a survey Of the whole field of New
Hampshire politics that with proper efforts
all along the Republican line, and the concen-
tration of full strength, Gov. Stearns, the pres
ent able chief magistrate of the State, and
worthy representative of Republican princi-
pies, viU be elected by the people.
As one of the immediate results of the adop-
ton of the Fifteenth Amendment, the Collec-
tors of several prominent ports of the Atlantic
coasts, have already been called upon to make
appointments of colored men to positions in
their Custom houses. Collector Thomas, of
Baltimore, anticipating this condition of al
fairs, and recognizing the political Importance
of the colored race in Maryland, made several
appointments from among them long time
ago, and will in time make more.
Mr.. WHITTEMoRE's RESIGNATION of his
seat in the House does not exempt him from
Indictment in United States Court under an
act providing for the punishment of members
of Congress who may use their places to Sc
cure pecuniary profit. The Daily Republican
of Charleston, which is the leading Republic
can newspaper of South Carolina, condemns
Mr.. Whittemore as corruptly unfaithful, and
says: "The Committee decided Justly II is
true that Mr. Whittemore has Iabored hard in
his Congressional District for the education
and welfare of all the people. He has been
faithful and unfinching in devotion to the
great principles of Repubhcanism. But the
greed of gain has blinded his eyes and blunt
ed his moral sensiblities in matters of this
character. Having thus erred, he must suffer
the consequences. Strict integrity is the only
safety of any public man."

The E" Citizens NIeetins'' and the Demo.
CRITIC Rarfv

The ling is out at last. For weeks past he
atmosphere has hsen fnl Of poltentous mntter-
lngs III certain quarters u d call fer d 'Citi-
zens Meeting" to select candidate for Mayor,
without regard to politics, and appears this
morning in the newspapers; and, instea OF
being what it has so often been limited that IL
would bean annihilator of politics IN our
municipal affairs-it is simply call for our
citizens to meet in City Hall on Wednesday
evening and endorse (not selecO man for
Mavor already nominated by few gentlemen
acting as a self-eonstituted committee, who,
With no responsibility to party, but with
lively sense OF their own interest, have tnus
dared to cell the citizens together to endorse q
foregone conclusion.
Republicans of Portland, you are caileo up
on by this nice little arrangement OF 'he par
+;o. who in this particular case, pull the wires,
a. ia yourselves to the ignoble servitude OF
t,,r,,;rg tbe crank to grind their little a1es.-
yVbv should you not? If the bait takes, and
YOU swallow it whole, you ought.
The call is signed by very respectable ar
ray of names, among whom are counted Re-
publcans and Democrats and 221 others
Why not say, gentlemen, any number of 10Th
ers" you please?
Simply because to intelligent Republicans
no number of names attached to this call could
make the purpose of such call tolerable, not
to say respectable. Why select Mayor Put
nam in advance and thus close the door to all
elaboration by the meeting? Why not allow
this meeting of citizens thus to be convened to
make its own selection? OIL that would spoil
the programme.
Mr.. Putnam is the standard of the Demo-
cratic party who have had control of the city
and its vast interests the past year, and Of
course is DESTROYS of reelection. The Demo-
cratic party are minority in this city, and
have not for many decade been able to carry
the city in their political interest two consecu-
tive years. So, to bridge this insuperable diff
Guilty, this convenient back door is opened by
which a fen simple Republicans may sneak
into the Democratic party. What has this
party done that Republicans are called upon
thus to demean themselves.
Republicans of Portland! this is an attic npt-
ed sdle-it may prove only a sell to its projec-
tors-of proud and victorious party-proud
of its achievements in the interest of humani-
ty-victorous after long years of hard fought
battles against this party of the past, that has
been placed ip hopeless minority by your
efforts,-and you are called upon by these gen.
tlemen to attend the sale, where instead of
receiving the poor price paid by the Jews OF
old for the infidelity and treachery of Judas
Iscarot, you are to be degraded to the mental
service of grinding their grist. A pleasing
prospect indeed.
