POLITICAL NOTES.

SAN FRANCISCO threw. at the late cleo
ton more votes than ever before, with the
single exception of the Presidential election
in 1868. The Republicans carried ten of :
the twelve wards. s1a-eao
McGLINN, the Republican candidate for
State Harbor Commissioner in California,
was defeated by small majority by Rosen-
field, Democrat. The Republicans elect
all the other State officers. .,
Mr.. COMPTROLLER CoNNoLLY'S New
York defalcatons, together with Jefferson
Davis speeches and Alexander Stephens
editorials, have about finished the Democ-
racy, for the present, at least.-1nte Geor-
gia,. (Dem.) fs.s.s...
-, SOMEBODY has started a story which is
now going the rounds of the press, of man
who is alive after having had his neck bro
ken. We trust none will be so foolish as
to suppose that it is literally true. 1t is
nothing but an allegorical description Of the
Democratic party.-EG. s..at @
THE Philadelphia Bulletin says: "We
can almost forgive Connolly s gigantic thefts
for the service he has done in taking sides
against his companions in crime. If he
will disgorge all bis ill-gotten gains, it may
be worth while to pardon him as we would
man who turns States evidence"
THE Milwaukee Sentinel says: "We
need profounder moralists as our guides in
social action, men who know enough to
avoid the use of court-plaster upon the skin
when the entire system calls for purifica-
ton of the blood. Beware of putting much
faith in moral court-plaster."
THE New York Times says: "The next
step is to complete the demolition Of the
Tammany gang-to turn them all out of
their Offices, and to bring them face to face
with Justice. Irresistible measures have
been taken toward this end, and the people
are now sure of victory in this great and
memorable fight.o
THE Chicago Tribune says: 'Ihe fact
is, universal amnesty cannot any longer be
denied without conceding that the Republic
can party has no faith or confidence in its
own measures, and has no faith or conf
dence in the disposition or ability of the
American. people to defend and protect their
liberties and their Union against a, handful
of ruined Shareholders, not one of whom,
probably, could be coerced into rebellion
again, or persuaded to own a negro."
THE New York Herald has heard the
still, small voice, and is heard to say: sit
was but yesterday that Tammany, like
q Caesar, seemed strong enough to stand
against the world and now there are none
so poor to do her reverence She was the
impregnable citadel and base of operations
Of the Democratic party of the city, the
State, and the Union but she is the STUN
bling-block to the party in the city, in the
State, and throughout the country"
REPUBLICANS in Western Massachu-
sets, as class, favor the nomination of
Hon. William b. Washburn. Those in
the eastern counties, where they oppose
Butler, are divided between DR.. Loring and
Mr.. Rice. DIR. Loring claims and processes
to know certainly, that considerable
number Of the delegates reported for Bat
Ter are for him, and were chosen to support
him. Congressman Dawes is coming home
from the West this week, and will throw
his influence in favor of the nomination of
Mr.. Washburn.
ALI. the important countries of Europe
were represented in the Congress of the In
ternational Workingmen's Societies which
met in London recently. The object of the
Congress, according to cable reports, was
to make necessary arrangements for immt-
date political and labor movements on the
Continent. If Bismarck proposes to de-
stroy this formidable organization, as he is
said to have resolved upon doing, he will
have TO get TO work without much delay.
Even then he will be likely to find the job
avery difficult one.
THE latest footing up of delegates, elect

Worcester. Mass, next Wednesday, shows
the total number elected to be Cos, Of which
number 2l9 are for Butler and 1856 against
