POLITICAL NOTES.

HENRY A. WISE has carefully placed him
self on record on both sides the pondlng po-
litical canvass In Virginia, and yet the Rich
mond papers report that his son, II. A., jr.,
Is stumping the State against his father.
GEORGE WAsHISGToN JULIEN, ex-member
Of Congress from Indiana and cx-candidate
for Vice President of the United States, has
abandoned the Woman's Rights party, ar
rayed himself In q hickory shirt, buttcrnut
trowscrs, hand-knit suspcnders and q chip
hat, and Joined the ranks Of the Patrons Of
Husbandry.
THE Portland (Mainc) Press thinks the
back-pay appropriation strikes at the prlncl-
pie of common honesty, without which the
Republican party cannot maintain Its ascen-
dancy. There has never been time In the
history Of the republic, says the Press, when
there was so universal demand for perfect
rectltudc In the conduct Of public affairs as
at present. IL the perpetuation Of this era Of
integrity requires tho sacrifice Of the repro
sentativcs who have brought reproaoh upon
republicauism by voting themselves extra
salaries, they must DO inundated. The gen.
eral publication must not be hindercd by in
judiclous clemency.
TnB Chicago EueninJ Post says; The new
party yesterday christened at Sacramento Ia
simply q coalition Of the voters of California
who rs Republicans, Democrats, or fusion
lists, at the late election supported anti-rail-
way candidates for the Legislature. The OBJ
ject Is to continue the fight against the Gen.
trail Pacific In the judicial election now at
hand. That company has an apparently In
defeasable ownership in the present supreme
court, q Judge Of which Is to be elected. II
Is persistent, and hitherto almost invariably
successful tax-nghtGr. Through Its credit
mobilier IL has swindled cities and towns
which had subscribed to the capital stock and
which TO this time have failed to obtain any
redress. II has Its candidate now In the field,
who, as everybody in the State is aware, is
the railroads candidate. Under the eircum-
stances, the convention was warranted In
nominating candidate for the supreme
bench pledged, In substance, TO decide against
the railroad company in tho points involved
In the fight with that road, and that Is really
all there Is Of the contest.

The New York Graphic says Let us have
done with this whole railroad bond humbug.
1t Is a delusion and snare. No more rail-
roads from nowhere to nowhere, through
deserts and wildernesses where no mortal
has ever planted foot. We must get out OF
the bad scrapes we are In the best way we
can, but no more paper hctlons In the shape
OF bonds on roads that are not wanted by a
local population willing TO pay for three
fourths Of the stock In hard cash. The sur
plus meney OF the country must be put In
legitimate and productive industries, which
have been too much neglected while our cap
italists have been gambling In fancy stocks.
We must make up our minds TO work harder
and bo satisfied with smaller return for our
labor, and practice little OF the economy VIC
commend TO our neighbors. The pinch is
real, and we shall all feel 1t more or less, but
by industry and prudence and careful con-
centration on real interests and enterprise
we shall get relief that will be permanent.

Tn. DsaucRAcr OF WISCONSIN Is In bad
way. Contrary to the expectation and hope
Of many Of the leading members Of the party,
q full State ticket has been nominated, as we
have heretofore explained, through combi-
nation with handful OF desertcrs from the
Republican ranks who style themselves Lib
erals. The Madison S,aic Journal Is respon-
siblc for the statement that some of the
Democracy had advocated the Endorsement
of washburn and portion Of the Republican
ticket, and putting on new man or two for
some Of the Offices, in the hope to win place
or two in the State administration. But the
evidently thought this would look
'on much like actually giving up the ghost,
which they were not yet willing to do; hence
q full ticket was nominated. Thus we have
again the ancient enemy to contend against
and to beat once more" Looking over the
proceedings Of the convention at which the
nominations were made, we find that the
empty honors were cheerfully given to the
Liberals and that the Democrats sellshly kept
for themselves every substantial privilege.
But 1t will make no difference In the end, as
both will suffer defeat In tho election Of the
Republican ticket by the usual majority.

TnE DISTRICT LINE.

Inc meeting OF tho solid merchants and
business mon Of Washington with Governor
Shepherd Monday evening was In many re-
spects ono Of the most important aud siguif-
cant events that has occurred here since the
beginning Of the present government. First
OF all, IL was q complete rcfutation OF the
slanderous assertions that have during the
last two years filled thc'columns Of the out
side Opposition press; and second, fun vim
dication Of the action Of the President In the
appointment Of Mr.. Shepherd to be Governor
Of the District. n
Ths gathering was in many respects most
notable one. 1t was the most representative
body that has assembled here for a long time,
q gathering irrespective Of party and Of past
political associations, united and unanimou.
In one thing, namely, the support of man
who is honestly cndcavoring to make
Washington worthy Of its name and
position as the capital Of the United Statos.
1t represented tho worth, the intelligence,
and the capital Of the city. Mr.. John 7.
Mitchell, who made tho frst speech, Is one Of
our best known and most substantial citizens.
He Is, and always has been, Democrat; he
never voted the Republican ticket In his life,
and In coming forward to give his support to
Mr.. Shepherd in his efforts to improve and
advance tho interests of the city we are cer-
tain that he acted from entirely conscientious
motives, from sincere desire to aid In every
woll-directed effort 10 make Washington
worthy Of its place as the capital Of the Rc-
public. His words, "we have sympathized
with you In the struggle through which you
have passed to improve our city; we promise
you our aid and support In every effort you
shallina to beautify and adorn the city Of our
birth or adoption and present II to the nation
worthy tho proud name II bears, are golden
words which wo have no doubt ombody the
sentiments Of the largo majority Of our Pso.
pie. Tho utteranccs Of Mr.. John T. Givcu
were equally Significant. Mr.. Given, It .,
well known TO oil our readers, b citizen Of
whom any community may well feel proud
He Is q gentleman Of the highest character
and Of tho most 'unblcmished reputation
Tho last Conservative candidate for mayo
In this city, he received the support OF the
best classes OF our citizens. II any man car
claim the leadership Of the Conservative ele
mcnt In this city, II Is he; and his support a
this particular juncturc OF affairs Is towel
Of strength.
The meeting Monday evening means tha
the city Of Washington Is unit In favor o
improvcmcnt-judicious, well-dirccted I'M
provcmcnts-which shall rebound TO our ad
vanccmeut and prosperity as community. i
was the first ray Of light that has broken In
upon Us for years, and lifts us above all petty
political squabbles and considerations. Wher
Washingtonians stand by themselves the
country viii stand by them. The sacred
ground Of the republic, we have very little tc
do with the outside contests and struggle,
wnirn uiyiuo parties. IN tnis spirit VIC rcSart
the mccting of Monday evening.

THERE Is EVERY PROSPECT of an election
muddlc In Mississippi like unto those which
have occurred In other Southern States since
the close OF tho war. II will grow out Of the
decision Of the attorney general Of the State
that the election cannot lawfully be held In
November next. This officer, 1t seems, Is the
mere tool of Gov. Powers, one Of Alcorn's
sympathizers and especial pets, and the deci-
sion or opinion referred TO was rendered In
response to request from Powers. He fur
tLcr declares rs follows
"District attorneys aud county ofIlcers chose n
1871, and the State oficers installed In March,
sSrs snsII % &c elected Al he consttutioaal sons general
election In November, 1874"
Replying 10 this, the Jackson Pilot informs
It's readers that the laws do not provide for
an election In November, 1874, but do pro-
vide for one In November, 1873. 1t seeems
that the State constitution provides that ''all
general elections shall DO biennial" aud that
the Legislature, disregarding this provision,
enacted laws providing system Of annual
general elections, the first Of which occurred
in 1871, for Legislative and county officers;
tho second In November, 1879, for Congress-
men aud Presidential electors; and the third
In November, 1873, for Governor and State
officers. The question very naturally arises
right here, where did the biennial calcula-
liou begin? II 1t began In 1871, when the
act went into effect, the election should ro-
cur again this year. But 1t suits the purpose
OF Alcorn and his followers, with certain de-
feat staring them in the face, to postpone 1t
for another year, and then Gov. Powers will
remain 10 Office another year, you know.

THK Mississippi Pilot has uucarthed let
ter from Senator James L. Alcorn, dated
Washington, D. c., December Ia 1874 In
which the writer alludes TO Senator Ames,
the regular candidate Of the Republican party
for Governor Of that State,as ''well-educated,
intelligent and honest" and adds, "But will
not support Ames, though 1 say he Is honest"
The scheming perndy Of the writer b further
SHOWN by thc iUnU''t-s nrtract from the same
letter;
81 think there Is a splendid chancs for q split
IN the party next year. should this be, will
join the decent side."
1t Is evident from this that Alcorn's late bolt
was premeditated. 1t cannot fall TO strike
the intelligent reader, however, that he has
placed himself In decidedly inexcusable and
inconsistent position. He admits that Senator
Ames Is wel-cducatcd, intelligent and honest,
and then deserts the party which put Ames In
nomination to Join the decent side" Is II
possible that he has so soon forgotten the
blackguarding which ho not long ago received
from the Democracy Of Tho State s to imag-
Inc that they belong to the decent side
Under any circumstance, this deccnt-side
candidate will have occasion to regret his
dupliclty Honest men wilf doubt him in the
future, and those whose tool he Is now can
have no respect for him.
