A lull 10 politics must DOW eDsue, which
will be refreshing to all those who have any,
thing else to do than reveliu excitement, and
though important as are our political interests,
there are very many other matters needing at
tentiou, and we fully concur with our able con
temporary, the Petersburg Star, thatit would be
better for all classes of the community if they
we're not so often called upon to choose officers
Our people should seriously address themselves
to the task of extending their trade relations,
and of utilizing the extraordinary commercial
and manufacturing advantages with which ma
ture has blessed them. Let all combine now, for
awhile at least, in an effort to achieve for our
own home the place to which she is entitled by
position. Time enough for political wraugling
when the next election comes-until then we
should pull all together for the advancement of
our city TO prosperity.

The Bitter Bit.

When the Hennepin Canal bill was I'M
der discussion, the Hon Ellis II. Roberts.
of Utica, n ", made long argumcnta-
tive figurative Il. e., it was full OF fgures)
speech, in which he demonstrated to his
satisfaction that the Treasury was too de-
pleted for the Federal Government TO un-
dertake to help out the farmers OF the
West on the subject Of transportation
But he got his pay with compound inter
est on Monday night last. The sundry
civil and miscellaneous bill was under
discussion, when the Hon. E. ii. II. rose
and made plausible little speech in
which he moved that $500, 900 be invested
to build or carry forward an extravagant
public building which there can
be no sort Of hurry-in the city Of Utica,
his home. It was late in the night and
everybody was doing, and he thought no
objection could be possibly made; but tho
Hon. James Wilson, of Iowa, who was
quietly sleeping with one eye open, heard
him through, rose, AMI secured the re-
cognition of the Speaker-raising the
point Of order that there WAS no law for
this appropriation, and it could not come
into this bill. The Speaker sustained the
point, and Mr.. Roberts constituents will
have TO wait awhile Tor the court house

SENATOR WRIGHT.

Last week we published telegram,
clipped from the Inter Ocean, announcing
Judge Wright's dcclination to be a can
didatc for the Office Of United States Scna-
tors. His letter had not then come to
hand. We publish it entire in this issue
OF the CHRONICLE. We are pleased to see
that his reasons for declining to be a can
didate are purely person.; and not polit-
ical, and that though he rctires to private
life he is still Republican. We quote
his remarks upon this subject:
I'm this retiring beg to assure you and
them that hope to be no less devoted to
Republicanism, no less anxious for the
success OF our principles, than heretofore.
1t shall be my aim and pleasure to labor
for this success in every manner IN my
power"
He will not only labor for the success
Of the Republican party because he is a
Republican, but because he believes it to
be to the best interests Of the nation that
that party is kept in power:
with, as trust the utmost catlloli-
city of sentiment towards those who seek
to take from us the government, nerer-
theless do .frmly beliere that the defiat OF
TIE Republican party, not the defeat of
individuals or schemes or rings, but Of the
party in the State and nation, acoutd turn
back the ,cleey Of true progress, and cntdil
upon.us policies and consequences, the ertls
Of achicA no man can n0ao .toresee or
estimate"
Hoping and working for the success OF
the party be nevertheless wants to see
none but good men put up for office:
II repeat, therefore let us give the voters
good candidates-men of unquestioned
excellence and worth at home, and we
shall enter the contest with victory al
ready well assured The people have no
wish to repudiate the Republican party
The elections last fall are not to be thus
construed "They are
Ms truly attached to the principles of the
Republican party now as ever. And this
attachment they want to, and will evince,
il We are true to ourselves and the plainest
teachings Of the past and the present"
This is the view all sensible men take of
the situation. The time for blind party
allegiance has gone by, and it is now as
it should have been long ago--nominate
none but the best men, those whom every
body has confidence in If such is the
case in lama County next fall we believe
we will have even more glorious victory
than at the last election.
