Political Notes.

There has not been political platform adopted
this year, by either party that has pleased the
New York Tribune. And we don't believe there
will be-unlesH it is one adopted by the White
Leagues and Kuklux OF the Standardization
HrdM.
Senator Patterson of South Carolina has been
in Washington, and expresses the opinion that
Chamberlain will be elected Governor by 10000
majority. This seems like large fgure 1000
would do very well. Patterson i'd a sanguine
man perhaps.
Some of the weekly Democratic papers object
very strongly to the ticket which Mr. John Ke-
" las prepared for them. They declare that it
Is "boiled crow over again, and that they ate
their fill of this respectable but rather dry bird
in 1872 One Of them boldly predicts the defeat
Of the Democratic ticket by $4,000 majority.
That ia very near the mark. We should be n-
clned to place the Republican majority this year
in New York State at about 40, 900, but we have
no objection to take the other 5000 if our Dem
cratic friends particularly insist upon it.--Neio
lork Times.
A canvass of the prospects for the Legislature
in New York shows that sixty-nine members of
the Assembly, or four more than majority, are
fairly certain to be Republicans.
ont in Ohio the other day. somebody argued
np0n General Sheridan that he ought to be
President. Phil answered that many people had
had their heads turned by that fever that he
WAS young, yet Sc. &c, but he did not at all de-
clare that he would shoot man for talking of
slch thing.
Adyces from Indiana report the Republicans
confident of carrying the State, electing their
State ticket and a majority of the Legislature.
Senator Mortons health is too much shattered
top permit him to take the stump, but other able
speakers are making a thorough canvass. The
election takes place on next Tuesday week, the
18th OF October.
The Tennessee correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial thinks the prospects were good
month ago that the Democrats would make
large gains in Congressman throughout the
country at the ensuing elections, sufficient tc
pull down, if not entirely overthrow, the repnb-
llcan party Ill Congress-, but this is knocked ii
the head by the Kentucky riots, the Gibso,
county bntchery, the Louisiana revolt, and the
Alabama MURDERS In the Southern States, ow
lng to the stampede of the white Republicans oil
account of the civil rights bill, he thinks the
Democrats will gain twenty mem bers that il
Tennessee tile prospects are very good for max
lllS clear gain of six.

her father public sympathy has been unqualihed,

since the recovery of Long she has been prls-
oner. On Wednesday she complained OF coid
feet. and said to her mother she would go down
stairs and get some stimulant, as she feared a
chill was coming on. AS she did not return
within a reasonable time her mother followed to
learn the cause of delay, and found she had
left the house !; also that Long had been seen
lurking about the premises Selzing pair OIL

/ placed an eight inch Arundel and an eight inch

placed the same lenses side by side on piece of

prove these two points, viz: that the Arundel inter-
