Said Ex-Governor Watts, at recent Demo-

The Nation says that the nomination of
Mr.. Tilden of New York is victory of the
"respectables over the roughs." On the
other hand it says that Gen. Dix has given
proofs of high civil judgment, was right
about the war when Tilden blundered tremen-
dously and is a much less skillful and astute
politician than is Tilden, which in the opin-
ion of the Nation is Saying great deal for
Gen. Dix and a great deal against Mr.. Til

State Senator Anderson of Louisiana, who
is in Washington, says that the Kellogg gov
eminent is misunderstood at the North. The
responsibility for the wrongs of the Warmoth
government is charged upon Kellogg. The
truth is, Anderson says, that Kellogg found
the government almost ruined, and has great
ly improved it. He has reduced the debt a
million and half, and provided for still
further reduction in the proposed funding of
the debt. This proposition even the New Or
leans Picayune, two weeks before the revolu-
ton, approved. In the same article it COM
mended Kelloggs's reforms and now says the
White League is led by hot-headed boys.
