POLITICAL. NOTES.

JUDGE DEvENs, Of the Massachusetts su-
the vacancy In the supreme court Of the same
State.
THIS is tho policy which the Republican
leaders offer to Texas: They promise to Sc
cure order and invite immigration and capi-
tai, to build railways, and enforce education.
The success Of the Republican party In the
approaching election will mako every family
In Texas richer AND happier 1t will drive the
assassins aud the midnight robbers into OBJ
scurity, and extirpats them by r'gHr legis-
lation II will secure the llr. rroprtty
of the German populate us nul0red /;
II will sweep away the last ICES . lIIC re-
bellious faction Il will mako galveston and
Austin the centres Of unprecedented pros
a busy and united people. Weekly.
Ir ANYTHING could show the strait to which
the Bourbons are driven better than another,
says the Charleston Is. c. Chronicle, It 10
the fact that they are ashamed Of their name.
They have tried all sorts, but Just as soon as
one becomes attached to their organization
or want Of organization, II becomes so odlous
that they drop II inyoluntarily. They stuck
to the word Democrat until II came to repro
sent so much crime, folly, and treason that
they tried 10 bury 1t under reform. They then
tried 10 steal the livery Of the Republicans,
and dubbed themselves the Liberal Republi-
can party. That trick exposed, they now
retreat into the meaningless term, Conserva-
tive, which they think can hide q Ku-Klux
effectually from the people, and deceive the
masses better than any other. Why not call
themselves political shypters, land done with
it3" Their party Is farce OF the most ridic-
ulous character.
The Cincinnati Commercial whose editor
Is Murat Halstead, and who was prominent
supporter Of Horace Greeley, and conse-
quently knows all about his old bed-fellow,
John Cochrane, Of New York, says: "John
Cochrane, the political panjandrum Of New
York, who In his time has played many
parts, and who last year assumed to be the
Liberal Moees, Is. In a bad way. He lately
presented himself in his most impressive
style TO the Democracy, but their State COM
mlttee snubbed his prctentlons, and gave
him TO understand they could takc no notice
Of him until he put on the Democratic livery.
He was then open to offers from the custom
house party; but their city committee
warned him TO stay outside until he had done
penance for past offences by voting the regu-
Cochrane, who doesn't know where 10 70.
Last year, for time, In his own opinion, he
held the fate Of both parties and Of Rome In
his hand. When he blew his bugle blast,
without regard to consequences or the art OF
music, 1t seemed to him that the noise was
tremendous; but now his shrill whistle Is un-
heard, far or near. He should start q party
for himself, and call on the ''grasshoppcrsh
who were on his side last year, as he said, to
Join in the struggle against God, men and
politicians"
THE Baltimore American Of Monday con-
taincd tho following paragraph In reference
to the nominations made by the Maryland
Republican State Convention: "If the plat
form OF the Maryland Republican Conyep-
ton had been equal to the candidates placed
upon II, the convention would have been en-
titled to the credit Of having done Its work
thoroughly well. Messrs. Goldsborough and
Price arc both gentlemen who may be voted
for by men OF any or all parties, with the full
assurance that II elected they will forfeit no
trust that has been committed to them. Each
has heretofore been tried In public position,
and evidenced the capacity, integrity and
devotion to duty that is the best security the
people can have for trusting them again. As
comptroller Of the State Mr.. Goldsborough
has had O valuable experience, and the best
interests Of the public could not but be served
by again placing him In that position. The
present comptroller has already served seye-
raj terms, and though we have heard of no
more serious charges against him than nepo-
lism and absenteeism, and an undue favorit-
sm towards certain banks that are the depos-
tories Of State funds, yet the position Is one
hat should not for too long period be
trusted TO the control Of any one man. We
believe change would be beneficial, and that
he present would be good time to make Ii.
We observe also that the Republicans Of the
counties are selecting their local nominees
with unusual care. Baltimore county has
presented ticket that ought to be strong
before the people, II they have any regard
or fitness and qualifications in the choice Of
hose who are To serve them In the Leglsla- |
ure and elsewhere, and Frederick county on |
saturday selected some Of its very best men. |
Iuch nominations deserve success, even II
hey do not win IT,"
