Current Notes.


The Boston Advertiser speaking of the
ChiefJusticeship says that 'Some foolish
fears have been expressed that the opposition
to these important appointments would so
offend the Presidents pride as to drive him
to rash measures, and lead to another rupture
between the executive and Congress. Moth
ing in the Presidents past career gave ground
for such apprehensons, and in this instance
his prompt acquiescence etfectually dispelled
them. The element of C@sarism. which
formed the staple of Onr midsummer gossip,
has no place in the Presidents character.
Whatever opinions he may hold upon ques-
tons in which the nation is interested, be
has shown again and again that he holds
them in Difference to the enlightened judy
ment of the country, and that he is ready to
recognize its supremacy when it is clearly
laid before him. Of the obstinacy Of his pre-
decessor, which was destitute alike of intelli.
gence and of patriotism, President Grant
has none. Again and again he has been
among the first to acknowledge his indebted.

those who regard the integrity of his admin

1t is stated on authority that there is in ex-
istence treaty between Germany and Italy,
which is to be formally ratified if at any time
the Count de Chambord should ascend the
throne OF France. He has pledged himself so
strongly and so frequently to fulfil his duty as
''eldest son of the Church." by taking the
part of the Pope against the Italian mon
archy in the event of his own accession to the
crown, that Victor Emanuel has considered
it necessary to strengthen his own position
by close alliance with Germany.-Philadel-

An ode to Horace Greeley in the Welsh

KENTUCKY is Democratic State. In its
State Senate there are but two or three Re-
publicans. Before the rebellion the State
house was surmounted by the United States
flag during sessions of the Legislature. Dur
ing the war the custom was dropped and
since that time no effort has been made to re-
instate it. A few days ago, an order was
passed by the House to fly the stars and
stripes, but when it came to the Senate, the
Democracy refused it a passage. There is no
question about their Democracy, but they
want it straight without the stars and stripes
just as they do their whiskey.
