POLITICAL On DIT.
The dispatch published yesterday morning
edition, purporting to have been sent from
i Mr.. Leonard to Wheeler, is exciting much
comment in political circles. The friends of
Mr.. Leonard do not believe in its authen-
ITCHY. One feature in the dispatch must
stamp it as canard, and that is the intima-
ton that the acceptance of the Wheeler COM
promise would benefit Mr. Leonard
Now, from the opening of the campaign,
that gentleman has repeatedly avowed that he
was not and would not be candidate for any
position whatsoever, which the telegram would
: lead to the inference he was. Doubtless Mr..
Leonard will expose this attempt to connect
him with the change in the terms of the COM
promise.
Under the Gas Light.
J, Pitt seems to be happier now than he ever
was since his advent in this State Since the
compromise was agreed to by the Caucus, he
has banished all fears of assassination, and
now ventures out once in while without his
old body guard.
Friday night he visited the theatre and took
his seat down amongst the common people, in
the dress circle. Some one suggested that
this was another civil rights, forgetting for the
the time that Pitts color was not the same as
his associates On his way home . was not
shot at. and it is said, reached his domicle in
safety.
The Balloon Hoax.
/ Notwithstanding the present action of the
committee in New York and all that has been
done here, it is now generally thought that
nothing will come of compromise. Like the
G1alhjc balloon it had swelled and swelled
day after day until the people could see and
talk about nothing else.
They walked around it, pointed out its beau
titul proportions, the lifting power Of its con-
tents, and with impotence awaited the hour
for it to take its aerial flight.
Time has gone by, the enormous sphere
has been thoroughly filled, and now there is
a ripping in the silken bag, and collapse is
expected hourly. 1t has served its purpose
1t has made popular certain Objectionable
people and in all probability they will still
run their paper as ever. They chuckle over
the brilliant scheme and with knowing winks
point at the deIuded crowd they have duped.
When this balloon business begins to be for
gotten they will probably take another dodge
that they may keep the public attention to the
Radical enterprise and make it still pay
sugar PIum- for Boys.
There are several good Conservative little
boys who appear to he anxious about certain
moneys down III the State House. They fear,
it is SAID somebody else might take it and
they want advice as to whether it would ret
be State benefit to take it, for fear it might
be stolen.
Some say the Committee on Contingent
Expenses will quietly get it if these defenders
Of the people do not go down and get sworn
in and receive their per diem. There is con
siderable Pickwickian logic in this, and may
be convincing to some Human ingenuity |

The State-Hou>e.
The State-House has quoted down within
the last few days. The crowd of hungry
" employees, whose sole object in life seems
to be changing around have given up in
disgust and despair and gone to hanging
around some other place, and the attendance
is now confined to 1.-the regulars" OF the
army of the faithful. The United States
troops were removed several days ago, but TIE
usual number of police are still on hand and
it seems that they are permanently located.
The ''cussing over the General lsppro-
priation bill was continued yesterday and
was generally INDUCED in vigers was on
hand and was extensively seen.
There is considerable mystery surrounding
this bill. and rumor hath it that the mystery
commenced when the Fnrollin. Committee
Of Hahn's Wing obtained possession of it:
for that they have it. and that it has been in
their possession for some days, was ascer.
tanned yesterday. Notwithstanding the asser-
lions to the contrary by certain interested
parties.
Kellogg has been looking over the bill, and
it is believed that every little point will be
