Political Notes.

Christian Knsass has resigned the Republican
nominstion for State senator, In the 4th (Ger-
rnantowD,) district of PhiladslphiA, and the
prospect Ia that Col. A. K Mcclure viii be run
again, with good show Of success. One story
is that Kneass got of the track because he knew
Mcclure wss coming and would certainly beat
him This may be true or not.
What multitudes of great men Ohio producesl
The Commercial says II could name 1000 men
in Cincinnati, and find 100, 900 in the State OF
Ohio, who are capable OF filling the Presiden-
tsl office decently, and performing its duties re-
specially.
The Norristown Herald has the names OF forty
Democrats of that place who have pledged them
selves to vote the Republican ticket.
In the selection Of delegates to the Democra-
tic State Convention in Tennessee, the several
counties which have thus far expressed a choice
have instructed their delegates to vote for SO
many different candidates for Governor that the
politicians are unable to predict which candi-
date will receive the nomination.
A correspondent writing from Utica to the
Tribune on New York State politics represents
that the chances of Senator Morgan re-possess-
ing himself Of q seat in the U. s. Senate, by Sc
curing that now occupied by Mr.. Fenton are not
to be despised. The Conkling men are under
stood to intend sending A. B. Cornell, and Fen
ton himself is working adroitly to improve his
own prospects. 1t II agreed that General Dix is
the strongest candidate for Governor, but the
Conkling ring would prefer another.
The Washington Chronicle says that the enc
mics OF the republican party want Grant nomi-
mated for third term, but the party Is too wise
to play 30 thoroughly into the hands Of the OPP
position.
W. p. Caldwell was nominated for Congress
Oh Thursday by the Democrats OF the Ninth

One Dog.

The New York dog-pound furnishes many ill.,
teresting and pathetic scenes. No one who knows
what the attachment Of any kind of dog means,
can put aside with pish and a pooh the stories
which now and then come to hand from that
dog-pound. We have fresh one for the seri-
ous consideration of such. On certain day
list week, there were one hundred and forty
dogs i'll the pound. They were quiet in com
parlson with what they had been during the pre-
valence OF the excessive heat yet to a casual
observer they would no doubt have seemed noisy
enough. gentleman happened in to take
look through the lot, and see II there might be
specimen there which he would be glad to pur.
chase. After time lie decided TO take an or
dinary looking young black cur, for which lie
paid the regular price for such choice, namely
70. The pound keeper took rope to fasten about
the dogs neck, and the poor brute instantly
seemed to comprehend the welcome fact of his
release. He testified his JOY by fawning upon
the keeper and in every possible way and by
even leaping upon him. He stretched out his
neck as if eager to be tied. And when his new
master took hold of the rope and led him out,
not 10 much captive az free, he continued TO
manifest hls delight in the same manner, evil
IDENTIFY realizing the narrow escape he had had
from the fate which was awaiting the rest And
they began and ret up such dismal howling
and wailing as was never heard from a congress
OF dogs before. They seemed to be at once en-
ragged and chagrined, desperate and oyerwhelm-
ed with grief, at knowing that this one dog out
OF the lot was to be redeemed, while they were
doomed to the torments which their predeces-
Bors had gone through in the same place That
happy but envied dog was the only one saved
out of them ALL

Ins,ae the INSANE AsyIums.

A recent visit OF the Charity Commissioners TO
the Lunatic Asylum at Flatbush, L. l., has re-
vealed abuses and mismanagementa in that insti-
tuition 10 appalling that one only wonder in
what manner the eyes Of the Commission have
hitherto been covered to discover nothing Of
them. The starving of the hapess inmates by
short allowance Of food, including almost total
deprivation OF vegetables, and the disgustingly
tainted quality Of the meat furnished the insti-
tuition seem to have been already noticed by
these active visitors, but without any strong ef-
fort to have the wrong set right but the worst
feature Of the case, the shocking immoralitiea
practiced by the keepers, aud the opportunities
for wrong-doing offered by their unchecked
power over their unfortunate subjects, appear to
be first brought to notice by DR.. Corey, the new
ly appointed medical Superintendent.

circumstantial, but no notice was taken of them

leading Irish newspaper, (the Dublin Mail, }
in reviewing the session of Parliament, says the
movements OF the Home Rule members have
attracted singuarly slight attention during the
last five months in Ireland, and have been but
seldom the subject OF comment in the press. No
deep interest appears to be felt by any party in
their proceedings, and even when the Home
Rule question was brought directly under debate,
this apathy was generally noticeable among all
classes in ireland. These statements, if accur-
ate, indicate that the several acts OF Parliament
