The Homer HAD ON the Situation.

Charles S. Blackburn, associate editor of
the Homer !Had. has this to say on she
political situation in this State:
we are glad the end is approaching We
have been looking for it, longing for it. for
a long time, for better or for worse. As re-
CARDS She welfare Of the State, and the
triumph Of what we consider to be the
cause OF the law, OF truth and of iustice, we
have been, to no ordinary extent, very
solicitous. And HOW that what we have
cOntehded for has been contaminated or
reached to certain extent, and put in q
fair way to be contaminated to its fullest
length, we are -proud-satisfed. We
mean the overthrow of the WarmOth dynas-
ty, with all it's cOnCOmitant usurpati0ns,
yillainies under the hypocritical, demagog-
lCal cloak OF reform, and other Elb0mina.

government over d WOuId-be petty desp0t-
ism; the viadication of American citizenship
and the carrying out Of the laws of the
nation against the attempt of men who hate
the federal name to GhrOLtl8 it, GoyernQS
Narmoth has at 2asS been caught ON the
sharp point OF the federal sword, on whose
point he has SO long been in his blindness
seeking to impale himself. Thank God Tor
flaS He had 50 often come out masteS OF
the situation that in che heat of his success
ne began to think no power of God or man
could stop him in his onward cOuYSe OF max
ing and breaking laws, and in setting at de-
ti@Dco the highest authority in the land
But "vaultiDg ambition overleapei itself"
and he fell. And noS only the State and
che nation, but disinterested world, can
look on and say, "Well done! 'T1cEe Jes-
Ter to have bad than worse"

The concert as Old FeIlows' Hail last
night was well attended, considering the
very disagreeabIe weather that had to be
faced in order to attend it. We confess 10
disappointment in finding SO large and
fashionable an audience present when we
arrived there, and nothing short of the
power of Ole Bull could have induced
ladies and gentlemen to leave comfort
able homes and go in search of
amusement last night, yet the au-
dienoe was not equal to the merits of
the great violinist. Odd Fellows Hall
should and would have been crowded with
the lovers of music if the weather had been
at all favorable, and our people have not
lost their taste for the sublime strains that
were drawn from the violin by the master
yiolinist of the day. Ole Bull is accom-
panied in his present visit to our city by
Miss Graziella Ridgway, a prima donna

baritone, and Mr.. Joseph Hart Deuck a

> the Washington Repu5ican !,

Says the Washington Republican:
The new edition of the Congressional
Directory. compiled by Major Ben Perley
P00re. contains many new and interesting
features. among others list of Senators
and Representatives elect. Fifty-four ont
of seventy four Senators now in will re-
main. EeveH Senators are yet to be cleo
ed, of whom it is believed that four of the
present members will be returned. One
hundred and sixteen of the present mem
bers of the House are reelected. In the
Forty-third Congress there will be six col
Ored presentatives, and possibly one
colored back, of Louisiana
who is an aspirant for that position. The
successor of Senator Wilson is one of the
interesting themes of discussion Just now.
1t appears that leading Massachusetts Jour
mails have expressed the hope that Mr. Bout
well would f0rego his Senatorial aspirations
and remain at the head of the Treasury
Department. This has brought out the fact
that Mr. Boutwell, is a candidate for the DO
sitiOn, and, whether he is successful or not,
his stay in the Cabinet, like that of Mr..
Fish, ia unalterabEy limited to the fourth of
March This puts new face on the mat
ter, and his friends will now put forth their
best energies to secure Mr.. BoutwelI's cleo
ton.
