The Fight Of the Factions.

upon as something of test between
the factions that are daily creating

The Governor refuses to make the
restoration.
The project of putting forward a
State ticket, founded upon the Liber.
al Republican Platform, gains strength
every hour. The candidates have
not yet been settled upon, but the
names Of two prominent judges are
mentioned in connection with the
movement: Colorcd Radicals like
Senator Nash and Representative
Thompson are losing strength in their
own ranks, and new set Of tactics
may be expected:
Bankers and brokers' profess to be
as much at loss as to where the late
payments into the treasury have gone
as any ono holding accounts against
the same. IL is generally the opin-
ION; however, that Kimpton is swal-
lowing up all in the settlcmen
scheme, which is what has now called
the treasurer to New York. An un.
easiness boding disruption pervadcs
the precincts of the trio who havo
controlled the purse.strings of the

Senator Wilson has twice attempted to Sc

prior to July % of the same year. The Su-

There is a second tea and coffee bill on the
Senate table, and some Senators are in favor OF
taking it up and passing it, They say that of
course the House could not object to this, and
that it is well known that good many repre-

hoping that the Senate would reject it outright,
or SO amend as to secure its defeat indirectly.
There are persons in both Houses who believe
in high protection who have hopes that the

The New GOVERNOR GENERAL.-Canada
cannot complain of having inferior men foisted
on her as Viceroys Lords Monck and Lisgar
Were both worthy of their high office, and Lord
Duffeyln is most certainly the same His lord
snip, who is Sheridan's great grandson, sue
ceeded very early to his title. His father died
ON board Dublin packet from an overdose of
sedative which threw him into n sleen from
which he never awoke. Lord Dufferin is an
admirable resident Irish landlord. His proner-
ty lies in ftourishing part of the country not
far from Belfast Both he and LADY Dnfferin
have been unwearied in their efforts to do their
duty in their state of life toward ali aronnd
them. Although Lord Dufferin has NOT writ
much, he has written WELL Few books of mod
ern travel have found greater favor than his
Letters from High Latitudes. He is felicitous
speaker, and specially distinguished himself in
this respect at the Scott centenary meeting at
Belfast. Socially the new Viceroy is extraordi-
narily popular and attractive. When at one
time his name was mentioned as probable
Viceroy of Ireland, it was observed by his
friends that they hoped not, for he'd surely
ruin himself in his efforts to maintain his Office
with becoming splendor 1t may, therefore, be
presumed that the dignity of the Vice-royalty
of the Dominion will not be lowered while in
his hands.

The ALABAMA QUESTION Benjamin. Dis
raeli, in a speech at Manchester Wednesday
night, made several references to America, her
form OF, government as compared with Great
Britain and the difficulties growing out of the
Alabama claims question. He condemned the
course of the Gladstone ministry and admitted
it was impossible for America to recede from
her position in regard to questions to be pre-
scented to the Geneva board He thought min
isterial incompetency would be sealed by the
ultimate acknowledgements of the principle of
indirect claims. The results must be fraught
with the utmost danger to England. Earl
Derby and other prominent gentlemen followed
in speeches of similar political import.
James Stanfield, radical member of Parlia-
nlent from the borough Of Halifax, addressed
his Constituents Wednesday night in a speech,
which was mainly confined to local questions,
but in which the Alabama treaty was touched
upon significantly. He said the treaty with
America seemed to be in jeopardy; if it failed
the fault would rest with the American Gov
eminent. England did her best to settle differ

The New York Herald closes one of its slash
| ing articles on the Connecticut election thus
This brings up again the perplexing conun-
drum. Why should the great Democratic par
ty be merged in the Jackie lantern adventure
of the Cincinnati Convention? There is month
yet for the discussion of this question among
our Democratic contemporaries, and by the
end of the month it is probable that Cincinnati
and the passive policy will be dropped by the
party, and that Messrs. Chase, Davis, Trum-
bull. Logan, Brown, Greeley, Mcclure, Upton
and all the other aspirants for the Cincinnati
joint stock nomination will in May find them
selves the victims of miserable delusion. Con-
necticut establishes the fact that the lines of
the Republican party remain unbroken around
the administration, and that the boilers will be
as powerless against the reelection of Grant in
1872 as were the boilers of 1882 against jack
son, or as were the malcontents of 1864 against
the reelection of Lincoln. Your disappointed
politician is an old customer, and the American
people have learned his tricks and know how to
deal with him, whatever the fancy costume in
which he may appear. ,aI i ha
