THE New York Evening Post, in writing about
the custom Of giving high-sounding titles to our
public men, says: "The only State we believe, in
which they now have legal existence is Massa-
chusetts, whose constitution, drawn in great part
by John Adams notorious for his fOndness Of
ceremony and adopted several years before the
Constitution Of the United States, confers upon
the Governor the title OF 'Excellency,' and upon
the Lieutenant Governor that Of Honor All
the other States which have ever legaliZed a SIM
liar kind Of savSgery have we believe, got rid Of
it in revising their constitutions. In 1870 con-
vention in Massachusetts, Of which John Adams
in his eighty-sixth year was q member, framed
amendments Of the constitution of that State,
but did not disturb the provision about titles In
1858 another convention framed q new constitu-
ton, which discarded all titles, but the instru-
ment was rejected by the people. So Masssehu-
sets subsists under a constitution adopted in
1850

THE conference between the contending
parties at New Orleans, which has been in
daily session since Thursday last, adjourned
yesterday without accomplished results.
The returning board was the cause of fail
ure The board is composed Of five mem
bers, who are elected by the State Senate
and who are authorized to fill all vacan-
cies that may occur. The McEnery faction
proposed that three vacancies should be
created, two of which they should fill and
the third to be filed by the other members
of the board This proposition was de-
clincd by the other side, so the conference

THERE is a good-sized crop of Demo
cratic gubernatorial candidates in Georgia.
Toombs, Gen. A. H. Colquitt, Gen. Lucius
J. GartreIl, whose war record, an unrecon-
structed journals say, is in his favor, the
present Governor, Smith, are all entered
for the race. As the election is still two
years off there is a fair prospect that every
man in the State will be a candidate.

IT Is not generally known, but it is new
theless fact, that we have large number
Of IceIanders in the United States, who, as
may be naturally supposed, find things
little too hot for them occasionally. At
any nate, they have forwarded petition to
the President, asking the assistance of the
Government in an exploration Of Alaska.
We cannot see how they will be any better
in Alaska than in Wisconsin, where they
are at present; for didn't the late Mr.. Sew
ard explore that country once upon time
and find the humming bird singing through
its valleys from january to December?

THE story comes from Ohio that Bill Allen
seriously believes that he will get the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Presidency in 1876.
The old man has, we are assured, dyed his
whiskers and thrown away his cane, and "comes
forth in all the freshness of youth, under the
rejuvenating power Of ambition" Pendleton,
who is also in the field, ''is already beginning
to lay his wires very cautiously and thoroughly.
He is going to keep poor old Allen up as long
as he can, so as to occupy the minds of the
people as long as he can, and keep Thurman
out of the way; then, when they are tired of
that, he'll give them some one else to talk
about till he is ready to unfurl his wings, and
soar out in all his glory. Pendleton's friends
think Hendricks will have no show. He is 3
trimmer, they complain; he may be pretty
good Governor of Indiana, but he isn't positive
enough to be President-asif he had any hopes.
And if, they say, the candidate must be a
Western man; and If, they add, it lies between
the two, why Pendleton will have it as plain
as the nose on your face" Allen, Thurman and
Pendleton cannot possibly amuse themselves
in more harmless way than by laying wires
for the next Presidency.

con the wrong side. They have strength
"ened him exceedingly with the Republi-
"can party. We have, however, no re-
"grets to express for anything that we
'shsve said on this subject. We foresaw
"that the South would not soon come into
"power unless she could do so by making
"terms Ono pun intended) with Gen. Grant.
"If the Southern papers, or half of them,
chad united with us in this undertaking,
"Gen. Grant would not have gone back

" sible-not even yet is it probable-that
eve may have to take Grant for another
"term, but it will be as an enemy, not as a
" friend, as we would fain have had him. !"
The Index and Appeal of Petersburg, a
wrathy little journal, shrieks its anger and
disappointment in the following strain:
eve hope to hear nothing more of the
"third Presidential term for Grant from
Southern journals, and no more doubtful
"notes concerning the construction of our
"third Conservative resolution, from Vir-
"ginia journals. The course of President
"Grant in connection with the recent pop
"ular uprising in Louisiana should serve
"to palsy the tongue of any Conservative
"who advocates the claims of this cruel
"despot on the gratitude or the regard of
''the Southern people. We are glad that
something has at last dispelled the ener-
waiting dream, and awakened our people
''to just and full sense of the mischievous
land malevolent disposition of the Grant
government towards them. Let any one
"consider the cowsrdly cruelty of that
"threat Of Grants, to lombard or inundate
''the city of New Orleans, if any harm
"should befall his creature, Kellogg No
"more disgraceful utterance has escaped
"human lips since the barbarous wars of
can earlier and pagan agep' The latter
is fair specimen Of the style of the fine
old Southern editor at the present time.

IN THE OPINION of Ex-Governor Noyes, Of
Ohio, the result of the Congressional elections
in that State will be as follows: The First,
(Sayler's district,) Democratic; the Second,
doubtful; the Third, Republican; the Fourth,
Republican; the Filth, Democratic; the Sixth,
Republican; the Seventh, Democratic, which
is Republican loss; Eighth, Republican; the
Ninth, probably Republican; the Tenth is GER
tain for Foster and the Eleventh for Bundy;
the Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth he
gives to the Democracy; the Fifteenth will
probably go Republican, and the Sixteenth,
Seventeenth and Eighteenth Republican
certain. In the Nineteenth the opposition TO
Garfield have nominated Methodist presiding
elder, and straight Republican, but the
Democrats have also made a nomination, and
If all three candidates run, Garfeld's chances
are good. Parsons is certain to be reelected in
the Twentieth. Republicans who are familiar
with the politics of the State believe that the
Republican majority in the State will be
between twelve and fifteen Thousand.

THE Richmond Enquirer says Of Gen. Toom BIS:
ave feel concerned about this valorous and
vaporous gentleman. The Louisiana affair is
over, and there are no more Federal troops in
Atlanta to demolish. Would not this be q good
time to read the roll Of his slaves at the foot Of
Bunker Hill monument? We have no idea that
anybody would object. Indeed, we are inclined
to think that the biggest crowd could be assem-
bled to hear him do it that any public man has
secured for long time. Even at fifty cents per
head thousands would go, and this suggests that
the ingenious Mr.. Barnum would be glad to take
the whole contract and lease for the occasion the
monument and grounds"

THE way to keep a situation is to be ready to throw in an odd half-hour or an hours time when it will be an accommo- dation, and don't seem to make merit of 1t. Do it heartily. Though not 8 word be said, your employer will make note of it. Make yourself indispensable to him, and he will lose many of the opposite kind be- fore he will part with you. Those young men who watch the clock to see the very second their working hour Is up-who leave, no matter what state the work may be in, at precisely the instant-who calcu- late the extra amount they can slight their work, and yet not get reproved-who are lavish of their employers goods-will always be the first to receive notice, when times are dull, that their services are no longer required.

He proposes to furnish baths free to the public, that is the male portion thereof. Of course if gentleman wants to smoke after bathing or chooses to indulge in any other form of mild dis sipation the proprietor will have no ob- jection.
