POLITICAL NOTES.

Senator Jones, Of Nevada, gives some people
hard hit when he says: 1.-THE discarded depend
ents Of old parties cannot become independently
by the simple process Of so styling themselves"
A minister, once o slave at Petersburg Va,
who was bought out Of slavery by Hon. George
A. HAlsey, set free and educated by him long BE-
fore he dreamed of ONCE, addressed a large
meeting Of colored citizens at Elizabeth on
Wednesday night.
The Democrats Of Texas are to havea grand
State barbecue in Dallas on the 3Oth inst. Gov.
Coke and other State oficers and all the Con-
gressmen are announced to speak, and they have
invited Gen. John B. Gordon, OF Georgia; the
Hon. L. Q. O. Lamar, of Miss; ]. Proctor Knott
Of KY; Samuel 5. Marshall, Of ILL.,; B. GratI
Brown, Of No.; and n. q. Kerr, and Daniel Voor-
bees, Of Ind, to be present.
There is just one point which perpIexes the
World arithmetic man, and nearly drives him
frantic every time he attempts to cipher It out.
There is no getting around the figures which show
that It cost t1o,0oo,eOO more to run the State Of
New York under Democratic than under Republi-
can rule, and the World man battles his feYered
brow in ice-water, and locks himself in HIS room
alone but 1t is all in vain, he cannot account
for It.
The clsmor shout ''third term, 4" says the New
York Independent, originally commenced BY the
New York Herald, and at first regarded merely
as one Of the HsTGIds jokes AfterWArd taken Up
by the papers hostile to the Republican party,
simply shows how that which Is really nothing
and rests on nothing but mere fancy can, BIZ per
sistent talking and Newspaper writing, be blown
up into formidable spectre.
The Cincinnati Gazette says: Democratic man.
ayers In Ohio and Indiana have raised 50 many
feuds in the party, and have labored 90 ardently
in the throat-cutting business to clear the way
for favorite asprants for the Presidency that the
only man Of national reputation len in either
State, aloof from all intestine conflict, and who
may be regarded as available, is Mr. Groesbeck.
Too fervent desire, and too much management,
and too much Indulgence in throat-eutting, have
done the business for all the rest"
The New York Tribune Of yesterday says: Sell
dom are compliments to oficials 50 Justly be.
slowed as those OF the Union League on Post
master General Jewell and Secretary BristoW,
and on the Administration for appointing them.
Tie efforts for genuine reform in the Post Once
and Treasury Departments deserve unquestion-
ing praise, and the Presidents hearty assistance
in carrying out these reforms without regard to
personal or political preferences will reflect honor
on him, and be Of great assistance to the Repnb-
lican party.
The Chicago later Ocean truthfuliy says. "The
Republican party, that preserved nationality at
50 many sacrifices, has yet before It work Of
patriotic duty and Of great dIRieulty, in laying
broad, and deep, and securely at the South the
foundations Of free institutions and liberal ideas
In accomplishing this the outgroWths Of forty
years Of false education must be rooted up; and
the longer this is delayed the greater viii be the
task, for with the injustiees Of men, as with the
commissions and disasters Of nature, the longer
they remain unrepaired the more difhcult be-
comes the process Of reparation, owing TO the
aftergrOWths that must be torn up and removed"
