Political Notes.

President Grant has written characters
tically manly and straightforward letter. con-
graduating Gen. Dix upon the manner of his
nomination as Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of New York. 1t is emphatically true,
as the President puts it, that, "when conven-
tions seek candidates candidates nomi-
nations" there is good augury for the future
of political purity.
Greeley's prospects must be very gloomy
when the New York Star, Towards disrepu-
table ring journal, gives him up. Here is
what Howard says in recent issue: "Well,
Pm afraid Uncle Horace is gone up-not only
gone up higher, but gone up in balloon. He
meant well, but the old thing won't work. 1t
won't do in this land of the brave to know
too much, and that's what's the matter.
"What he knows about this, that and the
other has so embarrassed the public that they
have about made up their minds to 60 for
him, but not the way he hoped.''
The straight out Democracy of Connecticut
have placed the following electoral ticket in
the field pledged to O'Conor and Adams: For
electors at large, William d. Bishop of
Bridgeport, James S. Carew of Norwich.
For district electors-first district, General
William B. Franklin of Hartford; second,
Samuel Ingham of Essex; third, Benjamin
Stark of New London; fourth, Miles T.
Granger of North Canaan. Mr. Bishop is
president of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, and Mr.. Carew is a promi-
nene man in the eastern part of the State.
General Franklin is superintendent of the
Colt firearms company. Mr.. Ingham was for
three years the Democratic candidate for
governor and was defeated by Governor
Buckingham. Mr.. Stark was formerly United
States Senator from Oregon, and Mr.. Granger
is one of the solid, old-line Democrats of
Litchfield county.
"Pseudo-heroic" is the name Greeley has
invented for soldiers who favor the election of
General Grant. Gan enormous fraud'' is
what he calls their Convention. ''Fredericks-
ourg without fight'' is the sheer he losses at
"en' burnside, than whom no soldier is more
hohored Tor his courage, or beloved for his
,oOi' character. While Mr.. Greeley's organ

So A fINAN T CoUp p pETATIThe action of
600 of bonds yesterday thereby breaking the
gold corner and easing the money market. was
the occasion of much favorable comment amon@
the bankers and brokers Of Wall street, as well
as among the mercantile community in every
part of the city. The business men of the
country readily recognize the necessity of a
checking power to the operations of bold and
INSCRIPTIONS gamblers, which threaten to ruin
not only those with whom they deal personally,
but also those who have no interest Immediate,
y at stake. The course of Secretary Boutwell,.
then, in changing the routine of this bond Inv,
ing to suit the wants of the nation and check
gold gambling, elcits the warmest appreciation
OF all classes of the mercantile community. and

whose nefarious schemes for the decentralization

Colonel John W. Forney comedies to his
friends that his opposition 10 Hartranft in
Pennsylvania will not succeed in defeating
him, though it will reduce his vote materially
from that which President Grant will receive
in November. A thorough canvass of the
situation in the State shows that the Con-
federate cause there is hopeless. The vote
for Congressmen-at-Large at the State cleo
ton will indicate pretty clearly the relative
strength ofthe opposing parties.
HORACE "GoING WEST. 1.-The Presi-
Dental Candidate in the disguise of farmer"
does not appear to have had a very enthusi-
astic send-off on his western tour. At Jer-
sew CITY, Newark and New Brunswick very
few persons assembled. The Philosopher
refused to make speech, saying that he had
long journey to perform, and the train
moved off without any manifest enthusi-
asm.
On the cars Mr.. Greeley held little CONVEX
sation with any one, and evidently was not
very well pleased with his receptions. His
followers seemed more hopeful, and were dis
posed to regard affairs in more favorable
light, but to their excuses for the lack of
numbers that came to greet him, and their
statement of his strength in the State, he re-
turned quiet and rather doleful responses.
The subject then appeared to be studiously
avoided and having succeeded in inducing
Mr.. Greeley to enlighten them on the mys-
teries of squash growing, they became
thoughtful and earnest listeners. Later on
in the day he offered a single opinion in ref
erence to the present Liberal situation. He
claimed to have on his side the thought and
intelligence of the nation, if not the numbers
and influence. At Morrisville some fifty
pert children, laughing and shouting, care
you Horace?" greeted the ''sage," but the
few men who were present uttered not a
word and kept aloof Mr.. Greeley, standing
on the platform of the cars, watching every
thing intently, seemed to feel his position.
At last, as the train was leaving, drunken
fellow, whose appearance evoked shout of
laughter, came and shook his hand. Mr..
Greeley retired in disgust. -

ACCIDENT ON THE BOSTON AND MAINE RAIL
RoAD.-As passenger train from Haverhill
was approaching the depot at Sonth Lawrence,
Thursday afternoon, the cars jumped the track.
and before the engine could be stopped the
smoking car and the car behind it went over
the embankment. The smoking car, which
pletely turned over, the roof resting on the
ground Only two persons were injured. and
these very slightly, their injuries consisting of
light bruises and cash or two on their faces.
How the occupants of the smoking car escaped
serious injury it is impossible to say. The in
terror of the car presented scene of wreck and
ruin. The seats were torn from their fasten-
ings, the lamps and windows smashed, and the
floor of the car shattered. The car behind the
smoking car was not much damaged, the front
end only going down the embankment, and its
occupants being more frightened than hurt
The cars are uninjured. The track was torn up

The Democrats cannot seem to believe

Liberals did not avail to give them victory,

old Quaker bachelor who lived alone with his
sister Mary, and who became partially de-
ranged in his later years. He was commonly
quite harmless and his sister, who was wo-
man of great firmness and decision of charac-
ter, had no difficulty in managing him. But
one day, after fruitlessly importuning Mary for
a full hour to give him some nails with which
to fasten up all the doors and so cut off COM
munication with the outside world, he sud-
denly seized a large fire shovel and stood
over her with cleaning eyes, shouting as only
maniac can shout, "Give them to me,
Mary, or surely will cleave thy head asun-

A GREAT RAILROAD IN TRoUBLR-The
Springfield Republican says, the Vermont Cen
trail railroad is in serious financial trouble, and
its great combination is in danger of falling to
pieces through inability to meet its money en-
gagements We understand that it lost. last
year, on the Ogdensburg line $4,000, and on
the Rutland line $500, OOO while the earnings of
its own main line (1S4 miles) are not sufficien
to pay the interest on its 81 100000 of bonds
and guaranteed stock. 1t is reported that its
balance sheet is bchind nearly $2,OO0,OOo,
which 10 represented by floating debt; and
that it is proposed to meet this by further is
sue of mortgage bonds to that amount, but that
there is hesitation on the part of its friends and
the Boston capitalists, who are interested in its
affairs, to endorse this scheme, on the obvious
ground that it furnishes no permanent relief
from the difficulty,-that the business of the
line and its leases is plainly unequal to the
meeting of their obligations and that it is bet
ter to confront at once the necessity of more
radical solution of the difficulty. There have
been meetings of the leading parties in interest
at Boston, this week, to consider the whole
matter, but We do not learn that any satisfac-
tory conclusion has been reached, and the dan
ger OF an early suspension of Judgment is i'm
minent.

the city has been swindled out of $4,000 City
is certificates to that amount belonging to Mrs.
Charlotte s. Parker mysteriously disappeared
from the Treasurer's office where they were
presented and sold by woman calling herself
Charlotte S. Parker. The transfer was made
through the Farmers and Mechanics Bank

Mrs. Furry is said to bave vouched to the iden-
tity of Mrs. Parker. Mrs. Furry and Mrs.
johnson are in custody on suspicion of being
CONNECTED with the swindle.
ONE of ourExchanges states that a vote taken
among the students of the Agricultural College
at Orono, shows an overwhelming majority for
Grant. We have no doubt that vote taken in
the custom house and post-officc of this city
would show the same result, "The OK knoweth

How THE GENEVA AWARD WILL BE DIS
POSED OLA member of the joint high COM
mission and also member of the cabinet, saws
that the following will probably by the process
of adjudication before the close of year
from this time. The British government is re-
quired to pay to the United States the amount
of the award made on Saturday, nearly S15,-
100000; this sum will go into the United States
treasury credited to the fund for which it is
paid. Congress at its next session will be ask
ed to legislate as to the manner in which the
money shall be paid out; commission will
probably be authorized by Congress to be op-
pointed by the President to examine and decide
all claims presented for losses on account of the
three ships named, and on the decision of the
commission the claims will be paid by the
treasury. After all the claims have been paid.
it is expected that very large sum will re-
main, which will go into the treasury to re-im-
burse the government for its expense in fitting
out naval vessels for the capture of the priva
teers, and fo- re-imbursing the United States
for the expenses of men, coal, etc., in the vari-
GUS voyages of the ships sent in pursuit A
calculation was made at the navy department,
during the session of the joint high commits
sion, to ascertain the amount expended by the
government in the pursuit of the Alabama and
other privateers, including the cost of the ships
the armament, the pay of the officers and men,
the coal, and the whole cost in such particulars
to the government. The astonishing fact is
presented that the sum amounted to only about
$1,O00000. The remaining $14, SOC, 900 is there
fore due to the claimants who suffered losses
from the depredations of the rebel privateers
1t is thought, however, that $40 100000 or S12,-
100000 will pay all the claims of this character,
aud that the remainder will be appropriated to
the government on behalf of its wounded
honor
