Notes and Comments.

king Amadeus has gained another victory
in Spain, and seems to have established him
self quite strongly against both Carlists and
Republicans But the Republican element is
strong and growing enough to make the
crowned heads Of all Europe keep up busy
thinking.
Mrs. Woodruff proposes to sue the
Springfield Republican, Susan b. Anthony,
Lucy Stone and Elizabeth II. Phelps, for
libel and SANDER Victoria is too sensitive
Candidates for high office, if they are Of any

to an unlimited extent Fame especially
civil fame-is often costly to both purse and
character.
Tho chairman Of the Democratic State
committee says the Troy Wig, announced
in his speech at Syracuse, recently, that he
was consulted about the Cincinnati ticket be-
fore the convention was held, and gave advice
as to its formationl viii the Tribune and

yious bargain with the Democrats Tildeu

Charles Sumner sailed for Europe last
week, being compelled, it is stated to adopt
this course on account of i'll health. Before
leaving, however, he prepared a speech,
which was to have been delivered at a meet
ing in Faueul Hall, and which is published

There is a vast deal of lodging of issue
in this campaign. The Democrats are lonC

champions of the rights of the black mar
cannot or will not see that they are leopard
ing those rights by putting them under tb'
control Of men who have always Tough
against them
