POLITICAL NOTES.

Governor Seymour, Mr.. Herman, Judge
Church and Mr.. Beach have all declined the
empty and undesirable honor of the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor Of New York
The Republicans OF Norfolk county, Va,
assembled on Monday last in convention at
Providence, and adopted the following:
Resolved, That the delegates elected by this
convention, representing the Republicans of
Norfolk county, be, and are hereby, instructed
to cast their votes as a unit for the nomination
of the Hon. James H. Plstt, jr., in the Con-
gressIonal convention to which they are ac-
credited as representatives from the county of
Norfolk.
The New York Herald says: "The prohiJi-
tionists' nomination of Ex-Governor Clark is q
nice little farce that is handsomely supple
meuted by Mr.. Clark's acceptance Of the nomi-
nation. 1t is very funny to see the aimless
efforts of the advocates of temperance reform,
though their sincerity may well be doubted
when they turn aside from their proper work
to make exhibitions of this kind. Governor
Clark's acceptance of this useless nomination
can have no other purpose than TO prevent a
very respectable old gentleman from being en-
tirely forgotten"
One remarkable fact respecting tie Presi
dent is his unpolitical character. He is con-
stantly doing things that set the teeth of the
old politicians on edge. He seems never to
study what they call policy, nor cater to the
caprices and whims of the people for tempo
rary popularity. If he wants to do thing he
does it, and leaves other people to invent
reasons and excuses for his act-reasons that
perhaps he never dreamed of, and apologies
that he laughs at in his sleeve. This is one of
the reasons why people have so much conf
dence in and regard for him, even though they
doubt the wisdom of some of his appoint
ments.-GTGphic.
There is trouble in the Fifth Congressional
district of Pennsylvania between Leonard
Myers and A. G. Hsrmer. The latter was
nominated by one portion of the convention
and Mr. Myers by another portion. Mr.. Myers
claims that he was nominated by majority of
the legally-chosen- delegates, and that gross
fraud was practiced to secure majority of
delegates for Mr.. Harmer. The executive
committee having refused to accept an appeal
from Mr.. Myers that gentleman publishes
card in which he says; Ny proofs are SO over
whelmings the :perjurY, subornation Of per-
jury, bribery Of election officers, illegal voting,
refusal to admit voters who were entitled under
the rules, and, finally, the many alterations of
returns, by which the Illegal body, claiming to
be the Congressional convention of said district,
had its existence, are of such character that
the Republican party cannot afford TO turn
deaf ear to them. Deprived, as am now, of
proving them before the board designated by
the rules of the Republican party; 1 promise to
lay them bare before the higher tribunal of the
people, and to brand their perpetrators, authors
and abettorS as they deserve,

GENERAL ". s. HH.LYER, Of New York,
formerly of General Grants staff, has been
for several weeks confined to his room with a
dangerous attack of congestion Of the lungs.
During his illness his wife and family came to
Washington, and Yesterday his youngest child
died. The Generals many friends in this city
and elsewhere will be grieved to hear of this,
later afiiction, which, under the circumstances
of his own illness, is particularly severe. The
funeral will take place from Willard's hotel,
at twelve o'clock noon to-day.
THE New York Ildtpe'tdsFf, which belongs
to the true faith and is devoted mainly to
putting dry goods, patent medicines, railroad
securities, with spice of orthodoxy thrown in,
favors the taxation of Church property in the

emption Of Church property from taxation is
simply bounty to the Church given by the

THE colored men of the Eighth Cougres-
sional District of Virginia seem to be in doubt
as to whether they shall or shall not support
Colonel Mosby for Congress. One Of their
number (R. D. Beckley) has written letter
to John W. Woltz, formerly secretary to the
Republican State Central Committee, asking
his advice on the subject, to which Woltz re-
plies that to him Mosby Is ga most peculiar
anomaly" shave" adds Mr.. Woltz, soften
wished that could be near him that might
learn Of him much of which 1 am now ignor-
ant" The best thing Woltz can do is to go to
Warrenton for the summer and sit down at the
feet of the Colonel. 1t would be sweet and
interesting spectacle. But Woltz's advice to
the colored men is, don't support Moseby
unless he declares for civil rights, which 1t is
not very probable Mosby will do. Mr.. Woltz
had better, as we said, go to Warrenton, and
try to convert Mosby or be himself converted
If ne has not the time to do that, let him open
q correspondence With him. Unless We are
very much mistaken, Mosby will surrender

of the Government. In recent letter to
Congressman of his own State he says: 81 re-

FENc1NG.-To render posts or timber,
placed in the ground, practically imper-
vious to moisture, and for a long time
prevent decay, the following simple
recipe has been tried and found to an
swer the purpose excellently. For
fence and gate posts it is particularly
recommended: Take linseed oil, boil
it and mix it with charcoal dust until
the mixture has the consistency of Or
binary paint. Give to the posts a single
coat of the mixture or paint before
planting them, and no farmer, says one
who has used it, living at the age of the
patriarchs of old will live long enough
to see the same posts rot. The post of
timber should be well seasoned and
dry when the paint is applied.
