Political lettings.

TnrnE are thousands of honest and patri
otto democrats who want TO preserve the
war settlements and to secure safe and
steady government, as the Republicans do
In their heart Of hearts do they feel that it
is best to restore the party of the South to
control?
A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, writing from Bowling Green, Mis-
souri,, on the ith, says "All is quiet in
our town, except, as ! write, | can see from
my window the confederate flag floating from
the county building with Tilden's and Hem
bricks names inscribed on it,"
BEFORE the next Presidential election,
which will take place on the same day,
November 7th) in all the different states
in the Union, seven of the states will hold
elections for state officers. In September,
Arkansas, Vermont and Maine in October,
Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and Georgia.
GEN J. NJ. TurrLE, who was the candi-
date for Governor of Iowa on the democratic
ticket against Governor Stone, several years
ago, declares that the st. Louis convention
is countermarch of the rebellion, and he
will not follow it, but vote and work for
Hayes and Wheeler Thousands of Iowa
democrats will follow the lead Of their old
general It really begins 10 look as If Iowa
would be about unanimously Republican this
year
IlERE is what the venerable Thurlow
Weed says of Tilden a." lie did not 60 to
the front in the hour Of the country's peril
His voice was not heard in the time Of
danger, and when money was needed for the
widows and orphans, Mr.. 1ilden's purse was
not open No vote Of mine shall ever aid TO
elect President who was not in sympathy,
and publicly known to be war man, loyal
to the core, ready with his voice, his in0u-
ence, and his means TO help his country aud
uphold her flag. Mr.. Tilden was not one Of
these"
Mn. BLAINE has accepted the Maine SEN
atorship, aud simultaneously with this an
nouucemeut comes the information that he
is regaining his strength. This news, we
take it, will be generally received with re
jociug, Mr.. Blaine's attack was more Sc
rious than was generally supposed, but now
that he is recovering, there will be much re-
lief, His removal TO the Senate would be a
serious loss to the House if that body was to
remain under democratic influence but
there is no fear of that, so Mr.. Blaine can
accept the new honor without any danger on
that score.
Rrv. DR. TEFFr, in the Northern Border,
speaks thus of Governor Hayes family
Mrs. Hayes, whom we knew in her girl
hood as Lucy Webb was educated at the
Wesleyan female college at Cincinnati, and
is a consistent member Of the Methodist
church, and he is himself a regular attendant
upon its services There is one fact which
we cannot forbear to state Though not a
professor Of religion, so far as we know, he
has always maintained the beautiful habit
of reading the Scriptures night and morning
in his family, aud after the chapter is read
they all kneel down and repeat the Lords
prayer, as if they believed in Gods proyi-
dence and goodness for guidance and pro
lection. Should he aud his estimable wife
have the fortune Of taking possession Of the
White House we are morally certain that
each day will be opened aud closed in the
same manner"
