Political Notes.

A Western Democratic organ says;
"We are about tired of defeating the
Republican party on paper.
Will the Democratic State Con
vention denounce the Geghan law,
which is 4 stab at religious liberty
and an effort to make Catholicism
the State religion of Ohio?-Toledo
Blade.
The Catholics demanded the pas
sage of the Geghan bill, and the
Democratic party passed it. Now
the division of the school fund is in
sisted upon. Is it safe in this crisis
to trust the party that passed the
Geghan bill?
The Liberal State Committees OF
New York recently had a meeting
and resolved that shy cooperation
with the Democratic party the liberal
ideas enunciated at Cincinnati have
not vet been fully realized" Well.
we shouldn't think they had.
Governor Tilden's reform warfare
does not come quite up to his sound
ing manifesto. The Albany Journal
says that nearly three months have
passed by since the Canal message,
and nobody has been prosecuted and
not an officer has been touched.
In Vicksburg, says Mr.. Charles
Nordhoff, the Democrats got up a
Taxpayers League, but were made a
laughing stock when it was discov-
cred that one of the officers of the
League had charged the town $500
for removing a safe from the landing
to the Court house.
Mr.. Charles NSrdhoff, in a late
letter says: "The thing which was
oftenest said to me in Mississippi by
Democratic politicians was this;
Our only hope is in the Democratic
success in the next federal election.
The Democratic success last fall
gave us our first gleam of light. But
when asked how a Democratic adj
ministration could help them, the re-
ply was, Because then we can dlsor-
ganize the colored vote. They will
not vote without white leaders to or
ganize them And when l asked
one of the leaders of the white line
movement, whose object is to draw
the color line strictly, how he could
hope to get all the white people with
their strongly diverging views, into
his movement, his prompt reply was
Well make it too id hot for them
to stay out Now, to lie, this does
not look like the American way OF
CARRYING an election. All Northern
men are united in one general and
fierce condemnation as carpet bag
GERS But many of these men thus
condemned and held up to hatred
have lived in the State since lS65-6;
they are men of means, and have all
their means invested in the State;
many of them are large planters
against the honesty and high charac-
ter of many of them no one can say
a word. 1t is charged that some OF
these hold Office, but why should
they not? They are citizens of the
State in every sense of the word, and
and worthy, capable men, whom no
one charges with peculatien or op-
preston" l."

General Sherman.

George Alfred Townsend writes to
the Graphic an entertaining account
of General Sherman's home life in
St. Louis. The General is perfectly
at home in st. Louis and is very pop
ular. He is at pains to be very cor
dial with people, and goes to enter
tainments with freedom which ney-
er fails to be charming. Mrs. Sher-
man, quiet lady, who has great in
fluence over the General, is with him
almost all the time, and they give
pleasant receptions at their dwelling,
at least on one night in the week.
Their two fine daughters are at school
in Ohio. Miss Lizzie Sherman is Wis
iting in the East, and Mrs. Fitch is
quietly ensconced in her trans Mis-
sissippi home. The celebrated jew
els which the Khedive gave Ostensi-
bly, to Mrs. Fitch were designed for
the General as family present, but
the delicate occasion of his daugh-
ters wedding was selected to offer
them nominally to Mrs. Fitch. 1t is
understood in st. Louis society that
these treasures will be divided up
among the daughters, and presuma-
bly, the gift is worth something under
100000. The family mansion is a
large brick building, square and high,
with high ceilings, large halls and
chambers, and is well fitted to be the
headquarters of the army. The
flagstaff is raised over the roof, and
an orderly in civilian dress is found
at the door. There are now but SIX
staff officers. Sherman wears street
dress: sometimes his trousers are
blue and his coat black, and again
his coat blue and his trousers black,
and sometimes both coat and trousers
are black and the vest blue. He ap-
pears to get in,o his clothing without
much ado, and he transacts SO mucn
business and talks so rapidly tnat
people scarcely have the chance 10
look at his clothing. He has an I'M
mense number of callers. Foreign
actors and artists, travellers, military
companions, ladies, and dependents

ACCORDING to G. w. ?. Curtis
"Recollections," the grooming of
Washington's white horses was some
thing surprising. The night before
the horses were expected to be ridden
they were covered entirely over win
a paste, of which whiting was the
principal component part: then the
animals were swathed in body clothes'
and left to sleep upon clean straw;
In the morning the composition had
become hard, was well rubbed in, and
curried and brushed, which process
oave to the coats beautiful glossy
and satin-like appearance. The hoofs
were then blacked and polished, the
mouths washed, teeth picked and
cleaned, and the leopard skin hous
ings being properly adjusted, the
white chargers were led out for ser
vice.

A Party That is on Trial.
From the Toledo Commercial.

A more palpable truth was never
spoken than by Archbishop Purcell
when in his official organ, he said :
"Withdraw the support which Catho-
lies have given the Democratic par
ty, and 1T sciH faU in this city, coun-
ty, and State, as speedily as it has
risen to its long lost power and posi-
tion." This was in March last, when
the Geghan bill was under discus
sion and several Democratic mem
bers hesitated about supporting so
Objectionable a measure. Referring
to this hesitation. the Archbishop
goes on TO say: 'The Democratic
party is nov on trial" That was
sufficient. The recnsant members,
thus threatened, yielded their convic-
tions, and were whipped in by the
lash ecclesiastical; the bill passed
'the solid, unbroken vote OF the
Catholics" was pledged to the Demo
Gratis; and the leaders are now look
ing for success, as the price of the
party's abasement.

The HOuse-Breal<er's Latest
Trick.
[St. Louis Republican,

The dangerous class" is getting
more dangerous all the time if q
MULTIPLICATION of odd wiles and
shrewd devices indicate any thing.
Not long ago a family at Mishewaka,
Indiana, was most agreeably sur
prised by. a gift from some unknown
friend, the gift consisting of tickets OF
admission to circus about to per-
form in the town. A circus is a
well-spring of pleasure in Mishe-
waka, and so the whole family
greedily improved the opportunity
and went to the exhibition. They
admired the young ladies in span
giles and tights, they laughed at the
antics of the trick mules, they shout
ed at the jokes and contortions OF
the clown, they ate gingerbread and
peanuts, and had grand time in the
good old fashioned way generally.
The circus ended and the family
went home to be shocked. In their
absence the house had been broken
INTO and stripped of every thing
| valuable from cellar to garret. The
| robbery was complete, for the depre
dators had enjoyed abundance o
time. The secret of the gift of the
circus tickets was made painfully
evident. The thieves had sent the
tickets to the family to secure
chance for the burglary.

An English Scandal Which Involves

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 1.-The book for
which reward of one thousand pounds
in gold has been offered by Mr.. G. Col
burne of London and stated in circular
extensively distributed by him to relate
to member of the Royal family of Eng
land, against the publication of which
the Lord Chancellor issued
al injunction and Of which only
one copy IS known to be in the United
States was yesterday discovered to be in
possession Of a young lawyer in this city.
The lawyer could not be found until after
midnight and the facts were then obtain
ed from him. The book is memoir OF
George the Fourth. 1t is quite certain
that the reason why the royal family are
so solicitous for its destruction lies in the
fact that the marriage Of King George
with Mrs. Fitzherbert is proven by let.
tiers and documents taken from the Roya,
archives.

should have been chosen. Carr himself
said it was on account of his bravery. Do
not think the guard killed the prisoners.
They were killed by unknown parties.
