Frank Key Howard.

The announcement by cable telegram of
the unexpected death of this gentleman, a
few days since, in London, has been the &C.
casion of a deep and heartfelt sorrow through
out the entire State of Maryland, more par
ticularly. of course, in the immediate COM
munity where he had lived since his birth,
the city of Baltimore.
In our county his loss will be deplored as
sincerely as in any portion of the State, for
in no part of it were those principles more
deeply cherished than in Hartford, which Mr..
Howard so powerfully and heroically main
tanned in the columns of the Baltimore Ec-
change, and for defending which he became
the object of the malignant hatred of the Fed
eral minions who had seized upon and are
still holding the reins of power, and was
forced by them first into the classmates of La
Fayette, and then into those of Warren,
where from the privations and confinement
he was compelled to undergo, the seeds of
disease were first sown, that doubtless led to
his early death.
In Hartford, so long as the recollection con-
tinues of the men and their acts of the period
just before and during our civil war, Frank
Key Howard will be remembered as the no.
bic and fearless champion of civil and consti-
tutional liberty, while those who prosecuted
him. if not consigned to oblivion, will only
be thought of as the tyrant and satrap, or as
the pitiful pimps who pandered to their cor
rupt and usurped power. w.

Political Notes.

General Logan, who has heretofore been
claimed by the Liberal Republicans, has Civ
en- in his adhesion to Grant.
The report that Jefferson Davis had de.
clared hmsclfto be in favor of Greeley is now
stated to be untrue.
The Pennsylvania Democracy, in their
platform, say they "can find no better platform
upon which to stand than the great leading
principles enumerated in the inaugural of
President Jefferson and the farewell address
of the immortal Jackson. Upon these two
great State papers we plant ourselves and en-
ter into the contest of 1872"
Senator Ferry, who was recently elected to
the U. S. Senate by the combined votes of
Democrats and Liberal Republicans in the
Connecticut Legislature, has written a letter
defining his position. He expresses his firm
belief in the doctrines of the Republican par
ty, which he has advocated for the last six
teen years; but in regard to some of the more
extreme measures of that party, such as the
ku Klux bill, he is opposed to its re.enact-
ment as he thinks it has accomplished all it
was intended to accomplish. He thinks it
would be midsummer madness to entrust
the administration of affairs into the hands of
Greeley. This looks very much like ingrat-
itude.
General Longstreet has repudiated Grant
and comes out for Greeley. The Generals
political principles seem to be chameleon
hued, and really it makes very little difference

The Pennsylvania Nominations.

The Democrats of Pennsylvania have NOM
mated the following State ticket:
For Governor-Hon. Charles r. Bucka-
lew; for Judge of the Supreme Court-Hon.
James Thompson; for Auditorium. Hart
ley.
This ticket is regarded g a.rono one
being composed ofmen noted for integrity
of character, ability and wisdom. The Re,
publican candidate for Governor, General
Hartranft, was forced upon his party by the
office-holders, in opposition to the wishes OF
the majority. and is consequently very I'M
popular. Even some of the most influential
Republican papers concede the defeat of theil
ticket.
Speaking of these nominations, the Phila
delphia Inquirer, liberal, says that they are Q
recognition of the demand by the people O.
all parties that the candidates put forward
for offices of honor and responsibility Ohal
possess prerequisite qualifications 'nd COM
mand support of tile Comply.
John W. Forney, writing NJ f.ssae Philadel-
phia Press, says it is folly worse than f r15liy
to suppose that the Republican State ticket
can be elected as it stands"
The Scranton Republican comedies that the
nomination of Buckalew and Thompson, at
Reading, is the strongest ticket the Demo-
Gratis could have made, and intimates that
the prospect for the success of the Republican
ticket is not encouraging.

Who Will Buys

In taking survey of the present political
situation, one cannot help thinking that in
stead of suspecting that there is something
rotten in Denmark" the fact of ertenSice rot
tenaaeSs in the Republican party is painfully
apparent. Notwithstanding the evil effects
this extensive gangrene has produced in the
country at large, there is something so deci
dedly amusing in the outlook that one is fore
ed to laugh with tears in his eyes. The Amer
lean people are fast people. They do
every thing on gigantic scale. For the last
few years they have been trying their powers
at making history. The loom worked excel
lently for while, and events of a large pat
tern followed each other in quick succession.
These will be staples in the historical market
of America for centuries to come. But the
Republican party have manned the factory
to say nothing of the girls of the Woodruff
Claflin stripe in the employ from Anna Dick
inson downward and the United States has
been astonishing the world with-shoddy his
tory. We may now be approaching the end
of the piece, for Horace Greeley seems to be
the thrums. The Cincinnati convention has
taken him from the loom, and is now in the
political market crying the wares The par
tisans of Grant are to be "routed, horse foot
and dragons" Who will buy ? and be sold
Before the Democratic party bids for this
rotten piece of rottenness, it is we'll to consid-
Ell the price to be paid for the commodity
Tobes sure, like Limberger cheese, it will her
aid itself, and the Democratic party need not
fear its becoming any worse. 1t has passed
that point of its history. But will it spread
over the public bread and butter, even if al
lowed little Democratic mustard, with
which to season it? Either Mr.. Greeley
must be very inconsistent, or the Demo
cratic party become SO, in order to form q
coalition. If Mr.. Greeley is in the market,
it is well to make the bargain beforehand
He wants the office and is willing, no doubt,
to turn political summersault to get it,
But will he stay turned? 1t used to be ia
vorite maxim with Simon Cameron, of linen
pants memory, that "every man has his
price" Horace is no exception to the rule

health upon her cheeks and anticipated year of net
pleasure in her society to-day only know her an
occupant OF our Fathers Kingdom. Death, that great
enemy of our mortality, did his work quickly, and in
this instance the shining mark was again preferred
From the midst of our grief comes up the oden inquiry

in sorrows, and that which throws the mantle of
resignation the troubled of our hearts is

Sumner on Grant.

Mr.. Sumner, in the U. S. Senate, on Friday
last, made speech of four hours length, in
the course of which he gave complete his.
tory of General Grants personal and political
record, and as may be imagined, the expose
was not very favorable to the President
The Senator's argument was no doubt inten-
sfied by his bitter hatred of its subject, but it
will be relished by the friends Unconstitutional
government as a further evidence ofthe crum-
bling to pieces of the Republican party. 1t is
strange spectacle to see such men as Sumner
and Greeley abusing so vigorously the very
man they helped to elevate to power, and
whom they once regarded as the exponent of
the party of moral IDEAS"
The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore San says of Senator Summers speech /:
Not one single private or public act of
President Grants civil life appeared to have
escaped the Senator's notice, for he held it up
to view in broad glare ofimvective and cen
sure, and added to the matter of the speech
an earnest and vigorous force of delivery.
He arraigned him as gift taker, nepotist
and a failure; declared that he spent his time
with fast horses, in palace cars and lettering
at the sea side. The public acts of his adj
mlnlstration were rs fearfully assailed. He
maintained that his government was a per.
sonal one; that it commanded no respect at
home or abroad; that it had done nothing to
commend it to the country; that its reduction
of the public debt did not deserve as much
credit as that of Andrew Johnson; that it was
false to the colored people and failure so
far as it had anything to do with reconstruc-
ton while its foreign policy, of which it had
attempted to boast, was the most graceful
muddle of the age. This merely indicates
the general tenor of his remarks.
