There is a formidable Republican bolt in
! Rhode Island. The boilers have nominated
Rowland &. Hazard Tor Governor, and
Daniel f. Day tor Lieutenant Governor,
and these nominations have been accepted
by the Prohibitionist- We know nothing
about Mr. Lippitt, the regular nominee,
but Mr. Hazard is a man who would honor
any Office in the gift of the Rhode Island

have named two more irreproachable men,

Harp-r's Weekly says that Senator Eaton
in the Louisiana debate attempted to ex
plain that the States were sovereign except
when they were not sovereign, and the Sen
ate very properly laughed, and Mr.. Eaton
said he did not feel well. That was precise
" what Davis and his men said after des

into practice.

the Catholic Protectory, all but were
Democrats.
The Hartford CoHrdnf very clearly brings
out the true point n to the presence of 50
many ex-rebel officers IN the new Con
gress:
Ii is undoubtedly true that many OF the
best men of the South were in the rebel
army, and that it is extremely desirable that
these men should take part 10 the political
reconstruction Of their States. The regret
table thing about it is that they come to the
front again in solid body, united as before
the war, and directly opposed politically to
those who fought against them during the
war. If they were divided in some other
way than by the old Union line their reap
pearance in Congress would be cause Tor re-
joieing.
The Springfield Republican INDUCES in
suggestions
Suppose the Missouri Democrats had re-
turned Carl Schurz to the United States
Senate Suppose the Massachusetts, Demo
Gratis had gone in on the first ballot for
Charles Francis Adams, and fought it out
on that line. Suppose the Pennsylvania
Democrats had sent Charles L. Buckalew to
the Senate instead of Mr.. Wallace. Sup
pose the Connecticut Democrats had sent
Richard d. Hubbard there instead of Mr..
Eaton. Suppose the Democratic Legisla-
lures in Connecticut, New Hampshire and
other States had displayed the spirit and in
telligence of reform instead Of the spirit and
unintelligence of partisanship. Wouldn't
the party be in very different position to-
day?

The New York H.rud has been inter-
viewing bankers and business men in New
YORK, Baltimore, New Orleans, St Louis
and other business centres, and finds that
there is a great abundance of currency in all

posts are redundant and that business does
not suffer from want of money ready to be
loaned, but from a dearth of borrowers
This unemployed abundance Of loanab!,
