POLITICAL NOTES.

"a The Springfield Ill.) Journal thinks
1t is astonishing how much the Dem
ocracy thereaway are in love with "the
new party in California" since the Re
publicans and anti-monopOlists wiped out
the Democracy and the railway interest.
GX The Pittsburgh Commercial, refer
ring to the nominations made by the
Pennsylvania Democracy, says: The
Democratic plan of putting down railway
monOpoles is to run the managers of
railway corporations as their candidates
for the chief offices of the Common
wealth.
C557A An unfeeling remark from the New
York Commercial AdUertiser: The lion
hearted Democracy sounds very well to
speak of, but won't our opposition friends
look again, before being too certain about
that lion.heart? There is a certain other
animal which is said to sometimes don
the lions skin"
CB-The New York Graphic, speaking
of the Democratic party, asks: "What
can be expected of party whose name
has been made Odious by repeated detile-
ment, until it is the synonym of pro-
slavery, disloyalty, copperheadism, dis
franchisement, and official corruption, and
it would sooner suffer defeat at the polls
than throw it away with the rubbish and
rottenness it represents?"
cB-The Albany IN. " EUening Journal
on the Satanic press: Most of the Dem
| ocratic papers seem more anxious to find
in the financial disturbances preteXt for
| assailing the Administration than to use
their influence in checking it and main
90. a
those who look upon such a crisis only as
an occasion for making partisan capital is
| as diabolical as that of those who would
precipitate crash in order to build them
| selves upon the ruin of others.
GB~The Lyons (N.Y. Republican strikes
a square blow: So far as we have seen,
none of the Democratic newspapers have
mentioned the fact that the recently de.
velOped rObberies of the Brooklyn city
| treasury were perpetrated by Democratic
officials. The organs of Democracy arc
very urgent in their demands for an hon
est administration of public affairs; and
it is a little singular, under the circum
stances, that even in the few localities
where Democrats have the handling of the
peoples money there are so many in
stances of defalcation.
Cy" A tribute to President Grant from
high source-HdTpeT'S Weekly: Among
all American Presidents there has beer
none more scrupulously loyal to law thar
General Grant. And never was tina
fidelity more desirable than during
Presidency Immediately following wal
which always diminishes the sanctity o
civil authority. Usurpations and dispens
atiOns with the law might have been eX
pected from a military President, and at
time when an abnormal situation woult
have seemed to justify them. But Genera
Grant has shown no such disposition. ii
has not only not assumed extraordinar
powers, but he has sought to avoid eve
the opportunity of exercising lawful at
thority, as in the case of emergencies i
the Southern States. If there has bee
fault it Is not his, but the laws. Anon
! the great services which General Gran
has rendered to the country, not the leas
is the tranquil and modest firmness wit
which he has maintained the authority {
, law.
g5Y- Brick Pomeroy was recently pal
$500 to deliver an address at the fair i
, Defiance, Ohio, and the Democrats hire
him for $50 to make political speech i
the evening. The Express reports: 9Th
Democrats of Ohio, he,said, had taken Il
man for Governor who was true repr
sentative Of Democratic principles, an
when he had an opportunity to speak
fifty dollar opportunity it was hard fC
; him to keep silent He liked Allen, Il
9 said, because he was honest and becaus
: he was so much like Vallandigham, an
7 he liked the Democrats of Ohio becaus
I they took stock in such men as Allen an
7 Vallandigham, and were so liberal an
Q just. His reason for liking the whole
l. them was because they were with him
: the late struggle, Qfe was editing a S
a cession newspaper) Once during Il
G war Secretary Stanton offered him a cor
Q mission rs colonel of a regiment Il
\. concluded to accept it, until le found !
would have to take an oath to support u
