Current Notes.

Four Yale Professors-Baldwin, Sumner,
Northrop, and Wayland-are among the can
didates spoken of for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor of Connecticut.
We do not know Democratic politician
who is not electoneeIing for Grant for the
next Republican candidate. They have been
at it for some months, and are in the habit of
demonstrating, by peculiar process of their
own, that the Republicans must nominate
Grant. They always begin by counting ior
him all the Southern States-and all the Of
fice-holders.- Cincinnati Commercial (Ind)
The latest opposition to the two-thirds rule
of the national Democratic Convention
comes from an unexpected quarter. The
Cincinnati Enquirer says the rule "kills all
the candidates whose abilities entitle them
to the honor of being considered" calls to
the front $50 called compromise cand-
date-an unknown man, whom nobody ia
vored," and whom the party is expected to
support after he is nominated. The nomina-
tions under this rule are, in the EnQuirer's
opinion, "political frauds.''

A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.

Mr.. William S. King was Postmaster OF
the House OF Representatives. He has a
beautiful farm, and is the most extensive
breeder in Minnesota. Mr.. King has been
greatly injured and damaged lately by pub
locations in the principal newspapers in the
country Hs was suspected of completely
in the Pacific Mail subsidy. He was sum-
mored before the investigating committee,
and swore that he knew nothing about it.
But since then evidence has been given be-
fore the committee that proves that Mr..
King received: one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars. The newspapers have
published these facts, THE TINES, as usual,
giving all the evidence and commenting on
it. Mr.. King has been proven a scoundrel,
and the newspapers in publishing these
facts have hurt his good name. He has
had to flee to Canada, and suffer the cold
blasts of that northern climate, when he
might be enjoying himself in Washington.
This is bad for Mr.. King and the New
York Sun suggests libel suit to retrieve his
shattered fortunes. Other men, eminent for
nothing in particular, have sought solace in
libel suits, and why will not Mr.. King
But we would suggest him that he begin in
the East, for we have one on our hands
now. and perhaps would not be able to de-
vote the attention to both that they de-
serve. But if Mr.. King wishes to sue us
for libel, give us notice and we will send
Quill-Pusher Hine to the depot to NEE,
and escort him to the good and pious Dea-
con, and then these three precious souls will
have the pleasure of conversing together,
and pondering ON the unkindness of their
fellow-men.

the lying statements false, but the good FL
der has neglected to retract single lie that
he uttered as TO his own strength in that

A. Phillips.
Among other questions Of dispute was the
statemen, made by The TINES that Deacon
Houston made a certain bet. The Comner-
ciu denied it, and said lis editor had made
mo bet. Out of this difference has grown a
law suit. Yesterday the witnesses testified
We publish the official report OF what they
swore TO. We leave our eaders 10 decide
whether Houston made bet or not
whether he lied or told the truth. We
know the question is of little importance TO
the community, but it is OF great import
ance to THE TIME, Tor so long as We have
the responsibility Of the management,
The TINES shall speak the truth and the
truth only on all matters. No matter
whether the question at issue be trIiing or
of grave import, The TIMES will speak

ton shall at once be made when informed
of the mistake.
THE TINES has lately had occasion to
call attention to The change of base which

man has joined the God-in-the-C Constitution

THE EXTRA sEsSIOX.

Senators now generally admit that there
will be an executive session, called to con-
slider the Hiwaiian treaty. 1t is not expec-
ted that the session will last over one week.
Twenty-Five new senators will he sworn in.
The Chicago Tribune says that one OF the po-
litical objects which will not appear in the
call, will be to compel Angus Cameron,
Judge Christiancy, end other so-called In
dependents, to define their position. A Re
publican caucus will be held, and these
gentlemen will have an opportunity to let
the country know what they are made of.
The Democrats will also have an opportu-
nifty to show their hands This feature of
the executive session will be of considerable
Importance to the new Senator'S, as the
committees will be reorganized at the be-
ginning of the executive session, and will
doubtless remain as then constituted until
the end of the next succeeding long session.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED

The New York Sun OF the Sth inst,
printed a three-column article headed
''Grant's Diplomatists," directly charging
Gen. Robert c. Schenck, United States Min
lister at London, and the Hon. Z. T. Wash
burne, United States Minister at Paris, with
selling their influence 20 place the Ere
mont Memphis & Ell Paso swindling bonds
ON the Paris Bourse
The article appeared in the San on the
Sth, and on the llth Mr.. Washburne an
swered it by cable dispatch to the New
York Herald, in which he sets forth an array
OF facts which nails the vile ISLANDERS to the
counter.
The charges against Mr. Washburn be-
ing shown as false, # is quite probable that
the charges against Gen. Schenck, made in
the same connection, may be equally false.
In any event, the atrocious and cold-blooded
manner in which a charge without any
foundation was made against Mr.. Wash
burne, ought to apprise the public that no
reliance can be placed hereafter upon any
charges made by the Sun, which has become
simply the medium for venting Dana's per-
sonal and partisan spleen and malice.

r1Lroa,s LOVE .oEn

We publish this morning Theodore Til
tons little love poem, entitled 1Aime-, Aim
er, Get rirre." No doubt but that Mr. TIL
ION is an educated gentleman, a man Of
great talents and Learning, still there is no
denying that he has made himself ridicu-
lous in this little poem. Our French editor
after reading it over and over, backwards
and forwards, comes to the conclusion that
"Maester Tiltone ees somevat meestaken." !"
In the first place he attempts to make riue
accent on the last syllable, rhyme with
leave, perceive, and weave. He also in
serts an extra proposition, a, which all goes
to lead one TO think that Theodore Tilion,
in writing ''To love, 10 love it is to live"
has left himself open to criticism. But
Theodore is making name for himself
that bids fair to eclipse Moulton's fame as
the great American witness.

PANGB0RN EXPELLED.

Yesterday James F. Legate, Of this county,
introduced a resolution expelling Pangborn
of the Kansas City Times from the legisla-
tive halls. 1t appears that Mr.. Buchan,
Of Wyando,te county, in a speech, referred
to poor Pang in manner no: entirely sat
isiactory TO the self constituted Watchdog
on the ramparts OF Kansas politics. Pang-
born, disresarding all parliamentary usages,
or rules of propriety, while the House was
in session, called Buchan liar. Mr.. Leg
ate's resolution passed both houses, and
hereafter the Kansas Legislature will nave
no little dog whining for admittance, only
to violate every rule OF decency and moral
ity. Poor Pang has been a moral pest to
Kansas for some time and the legislature
deserves credit for the action taken ycster-
day.

sEEYERs AFTER TRUTH.

The value of any Journal depends solely
upon it's reliability. During the late con-
gressional election in this district THE
TINES had frequent occasion to call the at
tention OF it's readers to the fact that the
Commercial frequently grossly misrepresent-
ed the facts as to the comparative strength
of the candidates for congress, Phillips and
Houston. The Commercial constantly teem-
ed with the vilest abuse of The TINES and
it's editor, regardless of truth or decency.
Its columns for months were filed with the
most dastardly, cowardly and slanderous
lies about COL VIM. A. Phillips. The edi-
TOR Of the Commercial was a candidate for
congress in opposition to Phillips. The
Gbmmeeiai editor was an Elder in an ortho-
dox church in this city one of the spirit
nal advisers Of those who were trying to TO-
low christi.n life. Occupying this posi-
tion in the charch, he told his Infamous

THE CITIZENS MEETING.

The meeting at La;ng's Hall last night
was one of the largest ever held in our city
The proceedings will be found in our local
columns. The resolutions were all passed
with unanimous vote. The sense OF the
meeting was decidedly in favor of retrench-
ment, economy and reform. Reduction of
the fees and salaries of all city and county
officials; the abolishing Of the useless GRIM
inal court; the limiting of the power of
the Board Of Education TO six-mill tax
indeed, anything to reduce the cost OF gov
ernment would have received the unani-
r:ous endorsement of that immense throng
OF people. The spirit of the meeting was
plainly and Enthusiastically one-sided. Our
Representatives and Senators cannot fail to
understand the wishes of their constituents.
and We believe they will act in harmony
with the powers that elected them.
