New York MayoraIty.
New YORK, Oct. 21.-The Republican coun-
ty convention last night made no nomination
for Mayor and other officers. 1t is understood
that quite strong movement is on foot with
view of securing the nomination of Mr.. Kuhne
for Mayor, as he represents the best German
interests he being well known as an agent here

sides being one Of the proprietors OF the Ham

or.
Gen. Banks Nominated.
BoNToN. Oct 21.-A mass meeting was held
in Bunker Hill district last evening, which was
attended by at least 1000 people. Gen. N. p.
Banks made an address on the condition of the
country, particularly the South, and also re-
ferred in pointed terms to the finances of the
Commonwealth, which he declared were mis-
managed. He advocated the better execution
of the laws and cultivation of better sentiment
South, and more stringent economy In the
management of national and state finances,
At the oncusion of the address, during
which he was frequently and loudly applauded,
the meeting UNANIMOUSLY voted to nominate
him for Congress ON peoples ticket
Ratification Meeting.
The first general Republican ratification
meeting was held in Music Hall tonight and
was we'll attended, the opposition element pres
ent making some slight demonstrations at vari.
GUS stages. Henry d. Hyde, G. w. Slack and
j. L. Swift made short speeches, Mr. Dawes
effort being the principal one of the evening"
His speech was one of generalities. Speak
ing of what he called the "Third term non
sense,' Mr.. Dawes said it came from the al
lies of Democracy in the South which has come
to the support Of the Democracy OF the North;
seducing him to their base purposes rather
than any chance of the despised "Nigger" be-
ing retained on an equality with themselves
In closing Dawes urged the importance of send
ing Republicans to Congress that the glorious
work Of the party might be carried out and its
great mission fulfilled.

Current Notes.

The Newport News questions "whether it
is right for Judge Hoar to consult his own
personal comfort and allow such man as
Dr. Aver to get a seat in Congress-"
Congressman Foster of Ohio, who recently
carried his district against tremendous odds,
is recommended by newspapers in that state
as a candidate for Governor. He is too good
man TO be spared from Congress.
The Boston correspondent OF the Hartford
Courant says of the political situation in
Massachusetts, that "the experiment is being
made of testing the utmost amount of bad
management the Republican party here can
endure and yet carry the state"
In Missouri the campaign is growing hot,
and the prospect of overthrowing the Democ-
Iacy through the peoples movement is daily
growing better. The Democrats, it will be
remembered, invented what is called "the
passive policy" and used it in defeating the
Republicans three years ago, and it now re-
turns to plague its inventors.
John 81. Reagan, once Postmaster of the
rebel Confederacy, is candidate tor Con-
gress in Texas, and promises that he will not
try to slight again the contests of the war;"
ne WdnlS W neal Tue ueep WOunuS OI me
past and restore fraternal relations" He
promises well enough, but it is probable that
genuine Republican can do this good work
little better than he.
The leading Liberal organ of the West, the
Cincinnati Commercial, says that Incidence
racy have just about enough victory to spoil
Them and confirm the Republicans in power.
Ihey Will find their Congressman divided
ana discordant on the issues of the day, with
strong tendency on the part of the leaders
to retire to the political bone-yards for safe
keeping, while bummers will revive all The
old war cries and grow wild with fierce bnn.
ger for the spoils.
The enthusiastic Democrat is wont to m;x
his metaphors, but be seldom does it more
thoroughly than in this from the Akron. n.
Argus:-What means this grand upheayal of
the masses? This glorious Democratic VIC
tory, and consequent uprooting of the once
victorious Republican tree, whose roots were
supposed to be imbedded in vast majority
of Ohio's sturdy hearts? 1t means just this
that the Republican party is like unto a
dead and stranded whale, rich in fat, and
surrounded by myriads OF big and little
sharks, carbon birds, and hyenas, all Juggling
and quarreling over its juicy morsels.

There is no change to notice in the Wool market
since last week.. The is steady demand for nearly
all kinds and although the market is very generally
admitted to be quiet, the sales at the close of the
week generally foot up fair average. Medium un-
washed feeces and combing and delaine selections
are still in demand. and parties who hold this de-
scriptien can find ready sale at full prices Large
buyers are still in Market and more active move
ments are looked for at an early day. Now that
prices have settled down from the extreme figures of
few weeks ago. we would not be surprised If large
manufacturers made sweeping movement, as they
have now larger and better stock to select from
than will be found later in the season.

SOMEBODY has been lecturing in Boston on
"The Mystery Of Emotion In the course
of the lecture the speaker took occasion to
dwell at some length on what he was pleased
to call aesthetic gymnastics, and advanced the
doctrine that the attitudes which man as
sune exert subtle influence upon his ma
ture. A great part Of the crime in human
society is, he thought Sowing to the bad hab-
its men have of bearing their bodies" The
meaning of this is very clear; the man who
attempts to lift himself by his boot straps is
an ass. But was it worth while to spend an
hour in impressing upon an audience so lumi-
nous truth as this?

War Clouds Gathering.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The Tribune's New
Orleans despatch of last night says that the
situation in Louisiana is graver than at any
time since the surrender of the McEnery gov
eminent to General Emory. With the authori-
ties in Washington, and particularly with the
power to keep the peace or bring on an era of
violence throughout the state. The people are
loyal, orderly and patient in spite of their
wrongs. They argue that they surrendered in
good faith to the representatives of the United
States as to an umpire, and not to the Kellogg
usurpation, and that in allowing Packard and
his men to persecute them by arrests and threats
of arrests, the President is lacking in magni-
nimity and fairness, if not guilty of breach
of faith.
Attorney General Field intimates that the
federal authorities have only just begun their
work; that those already arrested are not one
twentieth of those who will be; that the arrests
will extend to the leaders in this city, aud that
he is assured Grant has promised to keep the
federal troops here until Louisiana is as quiet
as Massachusetts. This may be promulgated to
frighten the Conservatives and encourage the
negroes to appear and vote. One wing of the
negroes has severed its allegiance from KEEL

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21.-The failure to agree
