the minds of Imaginative Washington correspondents
The suggestion that the Republican minority
in the next House might wisely vote for an upright ana
competent Democrat who would organize the Commit
tees for speedy to specie payments Is resented
by Republican journals. The H1rt'ord Post would IKE

David b. Hill attorney in the Chemung
Canal cases which tho Legislative Committee has been
INVESTIGATING says in . card TO The Eln,Td gazette
These attacks upon at this particular time are IN
cited by the wounded friends of the Canal Ring here In
Elnra and elsewhere. They claim they have been
harshy dealt with, and must answer it, am to be
held responsible for all that Gov. Tldens commission
has done Ineed not defend that Commission The peo-
nile at the late election have elected two OF its members
TO high and responsible offices to still further carry on
their good work and they need not stop that work on
my account They need not let up on single man VINO
II in earnestly prosecuting and honest inns against
the state reputable citizens while holding no Official
position was guilty OF anything wrong, Hln peae us
Odium OF IL. SO far am concerned, let the star
chamber Investigations Of Gov. IIden or any Otnerma

every honest claim yindcated.'
They have Just overthrown a boss in
Chicago but that does not prevent their seeing through
the transparent swinde perpetrated in this city recently
under the pretense OF doing the same thing. The Ch
cago Tribune remarks The quality OF the reform that
may be expected to follow the antTammany triumph
led by the Hon Morrissey is already indicated by
the unanimous passage, by the NewYorI Board Of Al
dermen of resolution recommending the restoration OF
the wages Of the citys abOrers TO the old figures The
old figures largely in excess OF the market rate OF
wages for tho same class OF labOrers Cutting them
down 70 tbe usual market rates was what gave backbone
To Morsseys revolt and he became the champion Of the
workngmen by his advocacy of the scheme for furnish
ing his subordinate strikers with city employ at
double paw His tocsn OF victory evident square
divide that is let everybody from the Boss down nave
share in the spoils And so the wOrkingmen who shovel
gravel on the streets get double the pay they could
get from anybody else for the like work ana he reform
comes when the taxpayers foot the bulls, III Is
BOssism with more extensive divide"
Ex-senator and ex-Postmaster Pease of Mis-
sssipp has started for Washington full OF suppressed
revelations that unless his attended to damaging
eruption IS likely to follow lie stopped at indianapolis
to interest Senator Morton in his grievances and while
there was corncred by Sentinel reporter, to whom he
confded this startling intelligence: The differences be-
tween the Republicans of Mississippi not necessarily
serious or ireconcilabe good deal depends upon the
action of Ames and his hackers II they persist in pro-
scribng the best and truest In the party in the
state men who have Tsked their lives and openly per-
sstently and effectively fought the fight for Republican
government in the South, then trouble and serious d
visions will follow. II this fight Is kept up mercessy
on these men il has commenced there will be revca
tOns made which will seriously mplcate many in power
and place and startle the country" After few remarks
about the Mississippi election Mr. Pease gave this prcg
nant answer the question If he were on his way 10
Washington: Yes. sir; have a hard, fierce, and bit
ter fight before me- and don't desire To have any par
tIcuar attention called To me now. just wait a little
while and then you will have plenty to write about"
Prominent Southern journals have repeat
edly declared their conviction that no Southern man
should have place the National Democratic ticket
next year. but recently of them seem TO be chang

noticing the nomination Of ticket with Bayard for Pres

are reasonably confident that Senator Ransom Of North
Carolina Will probably be selected. He com
bines every quality and recommendation for the
high and honorable selection. II anybody from
Tic South is distinguished, We believe Sen
