Editorial Notes.

What an unfortunate creature the
Mansfield is, to be sure. Jim Fisk, she
claimed, appropriated some forty thou
sands of her hard-acCumuiateh earnings,
and now one of Josie's English lovers
has gone off with $500 more-the one
who recently challenged Paris editor
on her account.
The Louisville C0urjer-JraSrnaJ,
like other sensible folks, is evidently
tired of the New York Herd2ds inter-
minable talk about CRsarism, and says
"Let us do with C9sarism as we ought
to do with the cholera-think and talk
as little as possible about it until it
breaks out in the midst of us. .
The London Times in brief dis
patch fom Athens, dated September 9th,
announces the killing of Arvinitaki, the
chief of the bandit band which masa-
cred the English travellers at Marathon,
a couple of years since. This outlaw was
one of the worst rascals Of modern times,
and his opportune end is matter of con-
graduation for all travellers on the classic
isle.
"A cable dispatch yesterday morning
announced that Garabaldi Lad rendered
his sword in the service of the Spanish
republic. President CASTELAR,, however,
declined the noble offer of the old red
shirted soldier, upon the ground that
Spain does not need any assistance. This
is significant in that it indicates the con-
fidence the Spanish people themselves
feel in the ability and resources of the
republic.
The revolutionary movement against
the Baez government in San Domingo
has assumed more formidable proper
tions than was at first expected. Late
advices state that the movement is in
tluenced and led by men who have the
confidence of the masses, and that the
result is likely to produce decided effects
on the commercial and financial interests
of the Republic at home, and with trade
matters with the United States.
One of the directors of the Union
Trust company told a reporter that
Carlton, the amiable scoundrel who stole
the trifiing sum of 100000 from the
safe of that institution, was one of the
''most modest and retiring men" he ever
knew. There are some, however, who
will be ungenerous enough toquestion the
modesty of a man retiring with half mil
lion under the peculiar circumstances.
The modest knaye's reverend father
was content to retire with only about
half that amount under somewhat SINH
lar circumstances.
"A few days since a couple of South
ron relics of the Lost Cause were stand
ing in the doorway of the New York
Hotel on Broadway, when one of them
inquired of the other the time of day.
Upon seeking to consult his chronome-
ter, he found that it had disappeared
through the skill of some of the light
fingered gentry, and the chain alone
dangled from his waist-coat. Turning
to his companion he laconically remark
ed, ''Butlered, by Jove." Ben was stand
ing near by, but soon disappeared.
"A Salt Lake city dispatch states
that the present monetary difficulties
will prevent the ''fruition" of narrow
gauge, railroad schemes in Utah. Now,
as tlhe prophet" Brigham or his Satil-
ties secure all the contracts for building
railroads in that territory, why will he
not draw upon his reserve of seventy-fivt
millions gold, filched from his poor, de.
luded followers, and deposited to his own
private account in the Bank of England
1t would be the one worthy act of mis-
spent life.
Here they are at it again, saint and
sinner, for Keyes of the Albany Egpress
goes for Richey of the Sdrat0gjo7a in this
fashion: eff the young Christian who,
by permission of the village postmaster,
edits the iSaratogjq1a, will read the Er
press of Saturday last, he will perhaps
see just how 'hard" we were shit" by
the re marks of the Troy Times, which
he copies" etc. whereupon the latter
ret orts: eff the wretched and aban
oned reprobate who is paid for hi:
screeds in the Albany EGpress, by 6
4 $1,000 clerkship in a Democratic de
partment at the Capital" etc. Now we
suggest to Keyes that it is exceeding baC
taste to term the editor of daily news
I paper a ''young Christian, and it i:
equally as unbecoming for Mr.. Ritchit
to characterize Republican gentleman
who has the immolation to hold 81, 50(
Democratic clerkship, a ''wretched ant
abandoned reprobate. :" What would be
come of the public offices if they were
all held by Democrats Let brotherly
love prevail.
On the I'd proXimO, the conference

the city of New York. Delegates to the

assumed such gigantic proportions, date:
its origin from the Bi-centenary Com
