This statement Is based on tho latest
results of elections in the several States.
l6i Electoral votes are necessary to a
choice. or the above States put down to
the democratic side, that party can
certainly carry every one, except, per-
haps, Connecticut and Indiana, and its
chances for these is much the best.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and all the
Southern States in the Republican COL
umn we look upon as sure for the Demo.
cratic Presidential candidate If proper
nomination be made. Mr.. PENDLEToN
could probably carry Ohio, Illinois and
some other western States in addition.
Gen. HANCOCK would carry the whole
column set down to the Democrats, to
gether with New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
and all the Southern and some more of
the small Western States, with about
as much certainty as he could carry Co.
lumbia and Berks counties. If success
is to be the only consideration in max
ing nomination, the way is certainly
clear and the object is assured in ad-
vance That however, is basis of
political action of doubtful propriety,
and we are glad to know that there are
many sturdy Democrats who still be-
lieve that the flttest man is not only the
most available as a candidate, but the
most proper to be nominated.
The point demonstrated above is that
the Democracy can elect their candidate.
1t behoves them to look about and
make up their minds deliberately, and
then work with energy and will to
nominate their favorite and to elect the
nominee whoever he may be.
The trick played at our last Presiden-
tial State Convention must not be re-
peated, viz: to pack delegation, then
extemporize convenient candidate for
its purposes, and under that shield go
into the National convention to make
personal bargains. Let politicians be-
ware, lest the people take the heads off
of some of them, and anathema for

OF course there has been no fighting
since the armistice in France. The sur
render of Paris is completed, the Ger
mans have possession of all the forts,
the French army of Paris is disarmed.
The Prussians are making every en-
deavor to supply the starving Parisians
with food, with only partial success, ,and
general order has been restored. The
election of members of National as
sembly, whose first business it will be
to set up government, was ordered for
February Sth. Gambetta issued pro.
clamation excluding all Bonapartists,
Orleanists and, Bourbons from lot or
part in the election, but Favre denies
the validity of his act and pronounced
it void. Gambetta insisted, but finally
gave up the point and resigned his Of
fee. We judge that the so,called Re.
public has few friends, and that the
contest for supremacy will finally be
between the Bonapartists and the Or.
leanists. AS all parties will combine
against the former, the latter may be
successful for a period more or less
brief, but no doubt preponderating
majority of the French prefer the dy
nasty of Napoleon, and before many
years some one of that family will re
sumo power.
Prussia is making the strongest pos
sible efforts to Increase the strength OF
her armies, to be ready to crush the
French to the earth if their new gov
ernment does not agree to peace All
outside interference or suggestion Is
haughiily rejected.

is said to have yielded all that Russii

The Philadelphia Day, an indepen.
dent paper edited by Republican, says:
"From careful reading of our demo-
cratic exchanges from this State we
must conclude that the probabilities in
favor of the nomination of General
GEORGE w. CAss as the next democratic
candidate appear very strong. The ex-
pressions in his favor are very general
and very decided, and arc not confined
to the western part Of the State. Even
from the "Tenth Legion" comes the
cry for CAss, as well as from the east,
west and centre of the State. The DEM
ocrats seem determined to correct what
most of them consider their blunder of
1869 when, they fully believe, and so do
no small number of republicans, that
General CAss might have been elected
From present appearances we would
advise the republicans to make their
arrangements for beating CAss, if they
can, in lS72.o

The attempt to excuse Gen. GRANT
for having several army officers about
him, one of whom is his privateSecretary
by the assertion that Gen. JACKSON had
done the same thing, is failure. Col.
DoNELsoN was not in commission when
he was acting as private Secretary to
the President, and we doubt whether
he ever belonged to the regular army-
certainly not while he held Office under
Gen. JACKSON. Judge HAYWARD, of
Ohio, was private Secretary to Gen.
JACKSON for Sc everal years of his Presi-
dency. A writer in the Pittsburg Post
gives the following information to the
public which is deemed of consequence
as affording a view of Gen. JACKsoN's
character different from that the public
usually ascribe to him and corrobora.
tive of what his intimate friends always
claimed, viz that he was one of the
most amiable of men in the private re-
lations of life.
The Post says: "From personal ac-
quaintance with Judge HAYWARD, the
WIltci 10 oouthOiitutiNCiy cuuulcu W CUT-
rect an error that is very generally ac-
cepted as an historical fact (; namely,
that President JACKSON was in the
habit of swearing, and that "By the
Eternal" was iavOrite oath with him.
The use of this eXpletive, in connection
with the South Carolinian nullitcation,
is set down as fact in history Moth
ing could be further from the truth.
Judge HAYWARD has repeatedly assur-
ed us that during his long aud intimate
acquaintance with General JACKSON,
he never knew him to indulge in an
oath, and but rarely to exhibit temper.
Judge HAYWARD himself wrote the
celebrated Modification Proclamation
at JACKsoN's suggestion, and we be-
lieve that his family still have the orig
inal draft with the Presidents erasures
and interlineations. II was read to the
General in his private study, before
being submitted to the Cabinet, and its
entire scope and bearing was calmly
discussed, and none of that frey excite
ment exhibited which has generally
been ascribed to him, "and," in the
language of Judge HAYWARD nothing
could be more absurd than the state
ment that he lost his reason over so
grave subject, and permitted his lips,
that were free from such deiilements, to
be sullied by an OATH He was calmest,
when the eXigencies that surrounded
him were the greatest"
