The political "situation' is becOm-
ing more and more mixed every day.
Grant is q candidate for the Presl-
lencv in 1876; ditto Blaine, Wilson,
Morton, Fish, Conkling and Butler on
the Republican side, but that good
man, Deacon Richard Smith, of the
Cincinnati Gazette, SAYS that to pre-
vent dissension in the ranks, these
must all be set aside, and a new man
like Judge Morrison r. Waite or
Secretary Bristow be taken up to
insure success in the Republican party
beyond all peradventure.
On the Democratic side the New
York Sun favors Gov. Tilden, and
says the South will come into the Con-
vention "solid" for him; while Hon,
Fernando Wood says public opinion
POINTS to Judge David Davis as the
strongest man but Allen, Hendricks

Judge Church and Gen. Hancock all

DECORATION DAY.

Very soon preparations will begin
for the annual ceremony OF decorating
the graves of the brave men who per-
ishcd on the battle fields of the late
war. Time, which mollities all things,
has so far obliteratcd the passions and
aysuaged the griefs of ten years ago
that we think the proposition made
BY DR.. bang last year may properly
be taken into consideration by the
various organizations charged with
the duty of xreatAius the graves OF
the slain. That proposition was, that
the Southern and Northern orsoniza-
tons unite to lay floral tributes I'M
partially upon the bosoms Of dead he
roes-byothers in blood and courage
without regard to the side upon which
they fought.
We felt last year that this spirit
should aotuatc both organizations,
and we believe it would have found
practical expression had the PROPOSE
ton been made a little earlier, before
preparations hal so far progressed as
to forbid such q modification OF the
programmes as would probably have
produced confusion. This year We
take the subject up in tine, that it
may be considered and ;,ctcl upon
without Inconvenience or embarass-
ment to either committee.
The beautiful ceremony OF decorat-
ing the graves OF those who fell IN
behalf Of their principles IS a plous
duty, keeping alive kind memories Of
the G.ead and testliyinG to the aticc-
ton and reverence Of the living. But
it need not recall or revive the acrld
Shirt Of the war. The objects and
the issues involved in that terri
bic struggle were settled with the
sword misunderstanding have long
rl-ce been explained away, The living
have come together as brothers al the
social board and at the business mart
and no grim partition SHOULD stand

THE OXFORD PROHIBITION VoTE.-Ox
ford, Chester county, Pa, is the residence
of a number of retired ministers, some of
whom are very active temperance men, and
were very earnest for the Prohibition State
ticket in Tuesdays election. The vote for
it in that town was expected to be large,
and that the vote for Hartranft would be
correspondingly reduced, Democrats not
often voting Temperance tickets, even in
Oxford. These expectations were marred,
however, early on the morning of the cleo
ton by the action of two reverend gentle
men, who had for some time been working
up the Prohibition vote by trying to per-
suade Republican Temperance men to vote
for Brown and Pennypacker, the Prohibi-
zionist candidates. These two hied them
away at an early hour to the polls, and
being watched closely, the astounding dis
covery was made that they both voted the
Democratic State ticket! This acted like
a wet blanket on the Prohibition ticket,
and Immediately Temperance ballots which
had been brought to the polls were either
torn up or stored away in some inside
pocket, and the Republican ticket substi-
tuted in their place, and the result was
Gov. Hartranft, 131; Pershing, Dem, 7S;
Brown, Prohibition, 35! Those who won
der why the Temperance vote in Oxford
Was not larger need wonder no more.

"GREAT INCONVENIENCE AND SACRI-
FIcE."-The following from The Democrat
of last week we insert so that it may have
the benefit of our larger circulation:
"No man in Cecil county did better SER
vice for the Democratic party during the
campaign just ended than the Hon. John
NJ. Miller Mr.. Miller's manner of putting
facts before the people is admirable, and
his familiarity with the finances of Mary
land gave him vantage-ground of which
he was apt to avail himself. 1t
gives US pleasure to make this acknowledge
ment of Col. Miller's services, for he was
not himself a candidate and took the stump
at great Inconvenience and sacrifice
We believe Col. Miller holds one of the
two or three superfuous cerkships in Wool
ford's office, which have been created dur.
ing Ring rule.
Now, that there is to be "reform within
the party" we presume that the axe will
fall first at the Comptroller's office, and
that the clerical force of that department
will be reduced to the number and at the
salaries of ante-war times. Woolford has
relatives enough to fill all the places which
will remain, and we fear that Col. Miller
will be left out in the cold, notwithstand-
ing his familiarity with finance
In this connection we are gratified to
find the following among the recent foreign
news:
"The Khedive of Egypt has applied to
England for two financiers to undertake
the control of the Egyptian finances, and
promises the fullest information ON the sub
ject to the Great Powers
Here is the very place for Col. Miller.
His "admirable manner of putting facts "
and "his familiarity with finance" will
both have full scope. The man whose
"admirable manner of putting facts " can
cover up Woolford financering is just
what the Khedive now requires. Like
Woolford, he is getting his treasury more
and more in debt every year and he needs
some man who will make European capi-
talists believe that every thing is lovely.

THE CABINET.

The new Attorney General with his beau

us this Winter. Mr. Pierrepont's wealth,
with the accomplishments of his lady, make
entertainments easy. The graceful and ac-
complished Mrs. Belknap will materialize
light of the wide circle she magnetizes.
The princely mansion of the Postmaster
General will be thrown open to the world
at large. The Secretary of State, assisted
by the equity side of the Department., will
entertain us as usual.
Space will not permit full list Of the
social centers anticipated this Winter, so
will have to defer it to future infiiction.
Before closing, however, will state, that
by the dispensation of Providence, l am
bereft, for the time being, of the entertain

in consequence am serving out sentence
Of sixty days to bachelorhood, with no

SOCIAL CEETERs.

We are promised an unusual number of
open houses the coming Winter. Among
the more noted and most talked about is
that of the new Russian Minister. From
the days of Bodisco down to the vivacious
Catacazy, the Russian legation in Washing
ton has been famous for it's hospitality.
The memory of right jolly past comes
up upon sigh at the mention of old Cat.
There never will be such days as those gone
by. The Catfish war, with all the collat-
eral circumstances, was one of the funniest
ever known in diplomatic annals. The
way old Cat. devoted his days to war on
Fish and his nights to games of poker,
with which be had become infatuated, can
never be forgotten. And what central
figure was Madame Catacazy, that magnifi-
cent woman! as the late Charles Sumner
called her in moments of enth usiasm.
