POLITICAL NOTES.

Andrew johnson may not be the next U. S.
Senator Tennessee but looks now as II lac would
| The Boston Times says that of the 78 members
OF the last Legislature who reelected, voted for
Hoar for Senator "a for Dawes IS for Curtis, one for
Adams, anu one for Wa5hOurn
Not content with furnishing several candi-
dates for the Presidency the Democracy or OIio are
claiming that they have In their Congressional deega
ton sufficient material for liberal number or speakers
The infatiousts present the Hon. Milton Sayer, and
the hard money wing puts Mr. sayer completely In the
shade by naming the Hon. Henry b. Payne oil CieVe-
land The Democrats will search a long time before
they Will fiud a desirable man tor Speaker than
Mr.. Payne.
Gen. Butler, like Judge Poland. is unable to
realize that his political life Is euded and Is aspiring
to the United States Senatorship from Massachusetts,
Judge Poland was defeated the second time good deal
worse than at the first, and 1t Is pretty safe TO say
that the Republicans who elected TO the Massa-
chusets Legislature the other day not OF the kind
who will take upon themselves the responsibility OF
seating B. f. Butler in the chair once honored oy
Charles Sumner.
The New-York correspondent of The Cincin-
ennai Commercial closes his letter on the election Ia
this State In this way: IT suppose this election will
blast tho hopes Of all the Republican Presidential can
didates in this State-Morgsn. Conkipg. Dix, Evarts.
and G. W. Curtis. We have now number OF Demo
cratic candidates. especially Tiden, looming up Tho
Democrats have certainly got hold OF the State OF New
York in such y.that they can easily hold It m me
FOOLS which they not likely 10 do under the guidance
Of SAM Iilden."
Here's q funny sort of an organ. The Toledo
Blade finds tho Administration defeat. Tor several
reasons ablessing in DISGUISE because among other
things ait will insure the nomination OF pure ana
worthy man for President. Once-hoders and jobblng
rings cannot dictate the candidate for President He
must be man in whose fitness for the office the people
will have confidence. This defeat insures such nom-
nation on the part OF the Republicans without IT,
every true Republican felt that weak aud unworthy
Presidential nomination the rock on which the he,
publican ship would wreck" That is decidedly hard
upon the eaders" OF the party, to say nothing aDout
the aspirapt for a third term.
President Grants remark that the third term
had no influence the recent elections does not receive
the concurrence OF The Ciereand Herald 1t audes to
his satisfaction concerning the election OF Chamberlain
in South Carolina on ;hrd term platform, and the de-
feat of Congressman Roberts In New-York on an anu
third term platform, and adds with an asperty unoe
coming an organ =" The President might have added
the fact that Senator Conkng his boss blower on the
third term gave Roberts the cold shoulder and THUG
assisted the election Of his, Conkngs law partner
Lord the Democratic nominee, to Congress- The south
carolina proof only amounts this, that ofcehoden
have t 80 thoroughly disciplined that they could make
the State Convention do just as they pleased and be-
cause ne peop1 in cSurs Of iSe
machinery n that STATE when the Convention relused
tIon OF that Convention" II Ia difficult 70 how there
could be any truth crowded into that paragraph
Mr.. P. B. s. Pnchback of Louisiana thinks
evidently that hs chances for obtaining seat In the
United States Senate have been improved by toe UNA
yorable results of the elections The Packard Durel
Kellogg Pinchback organ in New-Orleans, The RepHo
Hcan says: Unless mistake the signs OF the timess
Senator Plnchback will be wanted In Washington before
next January. New-York Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania
New-Jersey and three other States threaten to
send Democrats In exchange for their present pup
can Senators, which will reduce the majority after too
,th OF March On the other hand, Nebraska and
Wisconsin will choose Republicans In place OF Tipion
and Carpenter-both gains, which, with Mr. Pinchoack.
will make good and true men the Senate can 10
sure OF. We hope the old Democratic maxim viii Do
adopted practically Look to the Senate" The author
of that para kraph has been close student ~ the pc
culiar code OF political morality which has sgnalLoa
the reign OF Grantism. How he makes Senator Carpea
ter a Democrat Is obvious. We agree viii him
however that the election Of Republican Ia place Oh
Carpenter would be gain-wnoever the man nis" pe'
could not be "A loss
