POLITICAL. NOTES.

Is the Plcsiaurus extinct - J. the
dreadful question now agitating Georgia
The Philadelphia colored men held n
meeting the other night at which one of
tina speaker, stated that they held the bal
of power, and that they must have some
"crumb,' in the way of office holding.
He spoke of 'crumbsi' but loayes will
soon be demanded. The Radical party is
notified that colored men must not only
vote but be voted for.
1t does not follow that because We have
not as many dollars in gold in the country
O., greenbacks and bank currency, we can
not resume specie payments. The banks
did resume, after the suspension Of 1887
with u paper currency Of four TO one
against the metallic basis upon which that
resumption occurred.
No sooner is the negro given the ballot
by force aud fraud, than the radicals
begin 10 concoct schemes by which their
numbers can he increased Al the polls. In

The Cairo Bulletin, April -.

New Castle county, Delaware, thrty-one
hundred negroes have been put upon the
assessment lists, while not more than TWEEN.
ty-hve hundred are entitled to vote. 1t is
believed that the other six hundred names
are those of minors and non-residents, who
will be personated on election day. But
the white men of Delaware, are aware of
this rascally game, and will see that it does
not win.
A correspondent says that the chair now
occupied by Senator Revels is not the ac-
tual piece of furniture once used BY
Jefferson Davis. In April, 1851, when
the sixth Massachusetts, regiment-that
had been attacked in Baltimore Just pre-
viously-was guarding the capitol, some of
the soldiers ascertained, by inquiry which
chair had been occupied by the rebel chief
and broke IL to pieces So the radical re-
joicing in this connection comes to grief.
jefferson Davis, in his letter denying
thercports concerning Senator Cameron's
remarks to him upon his withdrawal from
tuc 'tHHt'' sHNH' hcH Huu NOV ln'H
reached the degree of qualification which
caused the withdrawal of States from the
Union to be called rebellion aud the
only remark, SO far us l know, made by
any Senator, which had the least practical
bearing, was the expression of Mr. Hale
Of Now Hampshire, that he expected us
all soon TO come back
The New York Sun, of Wednesday
makes an attack on Mr.. John Bancroft
Davis, Assistant Secretary Of State Of She
Unite1 States Who is accused of 'vcnhi-
ty," professional trcachery, etc, in cen.
ncction with the affairs Of the Bo,tn
Hartford and Eric railroad company. In
plain English, Mr.. Davis is accused of &C.
cepting n BRIDE Of SG0O,O to help put
through certain contracts for the beneftof
the corporation in question, and TO TIE
deiriment Of the Eric company, Of whi,h
he was director. Whcroupon Congress
