In connection with the Belknap
trial there is a goodjok on Sergeant
alarms French, of the Senate. In
his endeavors to find General Custer
to serve subpoena upon him, he met
a prominent army officer, and in
quired of him Clusters whereabouts.
This officer who is somewhat of a
wag, told French to address a tele-
gram to a certain officer who he
named, requesting him if Custer was
at his house to send him on, which
French did. This officer got cue
from the first officer, and telegraphed
back that Clusters address was care
of Colonel Brockaway, Detroit.
Brockaway was telegraphed, and an
swered that he knew no such man as
Custer. From the fact that the Off
Ger to whom French telegraphed is
in charge of the Asylum for INDECENT
and Insane Soldiers, and Colonel
Brockaway is the Superintendent of
the Reform School at Detroit, it
would seem that there was deliber-
ate attempt to make sport of both
French and Custer.

POLITICAL :. NOTES.

The Springfield Mass Union
admonishes those Republicans who
find themselves acting with the Inde-
pendents in behalf of the nomination
of Mr.. Bristow not to let themselves
be seduced by their treacherous allies
into the attitude Of preferring the sue
cess oftheir candidate to the triumph
of the Republican party.
The Jackson (Miss.) Pilot has
second choice for the President as
indicated: "Should it happen that
Mississippi's choice for President, the
Hon, o. P. Morton, cannot be nom
mated, we have assurance that a
majority of the delegation will be
found battling for Governor Hayes,
than whom no truer or better man
can be found in the whole country"
The Philadelphia North American
has this to say of the Hon. Carl
Schurz: General Schurz, the cham
pion of Mr.. Greeley, has issued his
pronunciamento, and instructed the
Cincinnati Convention what it shall
do, and declared the penalty of non
compliance. Cincinnati must nom
mate Mr.. Bristow or-General
Schurz will take the stump, with all
Breitmann's powers, against whoever
is nominated. This is probably the
preliminary note-Schurz the trump
eter-of the cooked and dried con-
ference to sit next month and do the
work that Cincinnati is expected to
ratify."
The Chicago correspondent of the
New York Graphic writes under
date of April "a: about a month
ago o private meeting was reported
to have been held at which were
Messrs. Bryant, White, ,Schurz, Sam
Bowles, Joseph Medil, Henry Wat
terson, Murat Halstead and Bluford
Wilson. 1t is stated that at that meet
ing it was resolved to push Secretary
Bristow for the Presidency at the
Cincinnati Convention. In case this
cannot be secured they are, it seems,
determined to make fight for their
candidate at any rate, and revive the
old Liberal party as aforesaid.
We are in receipt under stamp, of
a special copy of the Louisville
Courier-Journal of last Saturday,
containing forr-column argument
in favor of Secretary Bristow as the
Republican candidate for President.
The article is marked with three
large blue KS, all Of which look like
SO many invitations to please copy
the article. Now, as the Louisville
Courier-Journal is the leading,Dem-
ocratic paper of the South, and the
most outspoken paper in all that sec
ton in championship of the old rebel
element and the most ultra present
day Democrats, we cannot see why
it should take such an interest in
selecting the Republican nominee.
If it has sent us this article itself, we
must decline on the ground that we
do not think it hardly enough inter-
ested in the Republican party to make

this opinion worth copying into a
Republican paper. If Mr.. Bristow
sent it himself, he should address his
advertisements to the publisher of
the Register, and not to the editors.
We should think more of Mr.. Bristow
if he were youched for in the South
and at his own home by a better Re
publican authority than the leading
Democratic paper of the South
Iowa State Register.
