Political Notes.

Bishop Simpson denies that he has ex-
pressed an opinion on the subject of third
term, and deprecates any attempt to con-
meet the Methodist church with political
nominations or elections.
Congressman Dennison of Vermont is
known at Washington as the man who
"partiticned Poland" 1t is pity he didn't
take large slice of him for himself. So
says the Springfield Republican.
We find Mr.. Blaine quoted in a New
York Herald special as expressing fear
that the dismissal of Henderson at this
precise time will prove 'most unfortunate
in policy" and Mr.. Foster of Ohio as de-
claring it piece of stupidity, and accusing
Grant of ''stubborn folly"
The Hon. Dudley c. Denison, member
of congress from this district, voted with
the republicans for James G. Blaine for
speaker. His first act, therefore, has placed
him in the right position politically, as was
expected, and we trust it is an indication
that there is hereafter to be but one repub-
lican party in this district. --Bellops Falls
Times.
The democratic association of the Dis
trct of Columbia have resolved that "the
free school system of the United States is
the brightest star in the galaxy of the re-
public and otherwise show that they have
read the presidents message and that they
think the democratic representatives in con-
gress had better move on little.
The story of the last house organized by
the democrats in 1857, and that of the sue
ceeding Pennington contest in $4,000,
reads like bits of ancient history, Sumner,
Hale, Wilson, Douglas, Seward, Toombs,
jeff Davis we're in the senate, Burlingame
and Charles Francis Adams in the house,
and the John Brown raid and slavery in
the territories the questions in discussion.
The following speaks for itself
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL,
New YORK, Dec. II, 1876
The republican national committee will
meet on Thursday, January ID, at lOa. M,
at the Arlington hotel, Washington, fol
the purpose of fixing the time and place
for holding the next republican national
convention for the nomination of president
and vice president.
D. +. MORGAN,
Chairman.
WIN. L. CHANDLER, Secretary.
Gov. Kirkwood of Iowa is the right sor
of man. He says of the senatorship in {
letter to friend "You think I am losing
ground for the reason that have no
workers out cultivating the ground l
may be that l am losing for that reason
and if SO, must continue to lose. l can
not make dog fight of this matter. Thu
position of senator is highly honorable
one, and one in which man may max
himself useful to his state and the country
but if it has to be procured by the sacrifc
of mans self respect, 1t is not worth tn
price.
A choice bet ween two evils 10, under a.
circumstances, something humiliating. Blu
just in the year of the centennial celebra
ton of the birthlof our Union, which dout
ly revives the memories of the better day
of the republic, and which, in the breast Q
every citizen, should awaken the mobiles
impulses, then, just then, to be forced b
the wire pullers of the parties to choos
between two evils, would be a disgrace t
the American people, which will not b
borne as long as there is a single way Q
escape from it. The alternative betwee
Grant and imitation is not necessity ant
if forced upon us, the indignation of th
people will find way to break throug
this disgraceful aiternative.-Cdr Sehur
