Current Notes.

Hon. George H. Pendleton has been nomz
mated for President, at a serenade.
Carl Schurz's paper. the Westliche Post of
st. Louis, nominates ex-senator Hen derson
for President. Schurz, however, could not
have written such nonsense.
GAS the twig is bent.' A young Confed-
crate who has been placed on the pay rolls of
the House declined to take anything but the
modified oath, though he was only seven
years old when the war broke out.
The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican, speaking of the anti.
third term in the House, says Everybody
agreed that Mr. Blaine was excusable in de
clining to vote. If he had voted for it, peo-
pie would have accused him of trying TO get
Grant out of the way, and if against it, it
would have been against his convictions"
The Portland daily press., 1875-12-17

Gen. f. H. Smith has sent to the Southern
historical society an autograph letter of the
late Gen. George H. Thomas, written January
IS, 1861, in which The makes inquiries with a
view to applying for position in the Virginia
military institute on the ground that from
present appearances fear it will soon be neces.
lSary for mo TO be looking up some means of
support" Gen. Smith states that this letter
was followed by a correspondence in which
Major Thomas sought position in Virginia,
and satd that he had Inade up his ind "never
to draw his sword against state struggling
for its constitutional rights" Gov. Letcher
finally appointed him chief of ordnance OF Vir-
ginia, but before the commission reached him
he had accepted place as brigadier-general in
the United States army
