VIII Attomey-General Barlow now come to
the front7 Some time ago he announced that
he meant to try the Ring thieves in Septem-
Der, when Judge Barnard should be off the
bench. 1t is September. Judge Barnard is of
tae bench. So is Judge Cardozo. Why does
not Attorney-General Barlow try the Ring
thievesq First of all when is William NJ.
Tweed to be brought to justice Mr.. Barlow
knows-the whole city knOws-that all polltl-
cal circles have been agog for fortnight
past with the boast of his partisan faction,
that, by means of coalition with
William NJ. Tweed, they mean to carry the
City of New-York for Gen. Grant A part
of the bargain involved in that coalition is
that Mr.. William NJ. Tweed should not be
tried. Does Mr.. Barlow mean to try Mr.. IWeod
in September? If not, when does he mean to
try him? We are 10th to suspect Gen. Barlow
to be partner to any bargain of the kind
attributed to him. But there is one way, and
only one way, in which he can clear himself
from suspicion. Try William M IWeed
When are you going to do it Speak up!

In Georgia, where the Bourbon Democrats
claim 5000 votes, the fimsy pretext that the
movement is not in the Grant interest has
been given up. 1t is tacidy agreed by the
managers that the whole concern is Grants
bought and paid for by Administration cash.
In Fulton County in which Atlanta is situated,
the Grant men are to support the Bourbon
county ticket (making no nominations them
selves in return for the work which the Bour-
bOns are doing for Grant in the State. Rvi-
dences that the whole conspiracy has been
worked by the Grant Committee at Washing
ton are multiplying every day; but the
Georgia BOuTbOns seem to be in hurry to
drop the mask and reap the benefits of the
bargain.

There having been a Democratic Ward procession
in Baltimore, The american Of that city remarks
upon the exceedingly good conduct of those compos-
ing it; for there were no "groans," no "epithets'"
no appeals to passionan and prejudice" no cres about
"white mans government" or NEGRO equality" no
"bludgeons" and no striking down cOlored people,"
All this appears to be dstasteful to The Ame,ican
Grant hand-organl, which exclaims, WAS there
ever greater farce ?" Evidently this journal would
have been better pleased if the Democrats had pro-
yoked riot and broken few Republican heads.
1t Is rather hard TO suit, however and evidently
does not at all relish the orderly behavior of the
Greeley Democracy Of Baltimore.

The illogical Times lately devoted half column to
showing that Grant has dismissed for fraud five
weighers Of the Custom-house who belonged to the
Liberal or Democratic party. Possibly. But he Is
not complained of because he dismisses rogues in
opposition, but that no retains convicted rascals of
his own party like young Morrill, tnephew of tho
SENATOR, or gives those like Murphy who resign ON
exposure of their corruption, certificates of good

Nothing is yet positively known concerning
Senator Summers acceptance of the nomina-
ton for Governor so enthusiastically rendered
him by the Massachusetts, Liberals. His
friends in that State doubt the authenticity
of the Cable dispatch announcing that he will
positively decline the Worcester nomination.
They have not yet heard from him, and it is
presumed that they had some reason before
making the nomination to suppose that he
would accept the position rendered him.

Among the brief items Of news from Japan by tho

had his photograph taken, and that tho picture was

Mr. John p Hale is very particular TO tell us that

gentlemen in the same way antedate Mr.. John j.

working in the cause while he, to say the least was
not promoting it. They happened to be born before
Mr. Sumner and to be mixing in public affairs whiie
he was yet a schoolboy; but since their years are
no merits of their own and since his are no dement,
of Mr. Sumner we advise Ar. Hale TO try to think OF
some neater point when he writes hls next election

tiued to any credit Such demand would at
once deprive the recent meeting OF Empe-
rors of tho pacific character which was its
object, according to the positive assurances of
the Governments of the three sOvereigns.
The demand was one with which those Gov
ernments alone could not comply, and which
Austria, under the present management of its
foreign policy, would most strenuously resist.
But what renders the statement most improb-
able is the fact that Russia herself is not pre-
pared to enter upon the aggressive policy, of
which this demand would be the initial
measure.

How Joe Lost his Bet.

An old fellow named Joe Poole, very &C.
centric and an incnrrog'hle sufferer. was
a constant lounger at the tavern in Waterford
Me.
One day traveller from distant part of
the State arrived at the tavern and was met
by an old acquaintance. resident of the town
After some conversation on different topics,
the traveller was addressed as follows:
by the way. Brown, Look out for old Jne
Poole to night You will know him ouick
enough by his suffering. He will he sure to
come around and offer tt bet that you've not
got whole shirt to your back. If YOU take
him up, You will surely lose by trick he's
got; he invariably offers to lay this wager,
and always wins"
Very well" said the traveller, II will not
let him get ahead of me. Much Obliged for
the caution"
The evening arrived, and large crowd was
collected in the bar>room Our friends we're
there. and old Joe Poole was present and in
his element. II tell You VIII what. You are
nicely dressed bu. I'll bet yon ten dollars Won
havn,t got whole sh sh-shirt to your back -
~ !! take the bet" said the stranger. Put
the money in the landlords hands"
Ibis being done the traveller pulled off his
coat, and was about following suit with his
vest, when old Joe cried out:
lilo hn hold on You've lost Ha half
your shirt is fr-tront, and the other half is on
your back"
There was roar Of laughter, hut the new
conner did not mind it. but pulled IF his vest
too, and quietly turning his back to Joe dis
paved to his ast"nished gaze a shir. neatly
folded and placed underneath his suspenders.
OF course the laugh was ,nrred upnn Poole
who acknowledged that he had lost the wager.
He never offered TO bet again
