The eX-EmpfeSS Eugene anu ueE SUI
recently visited Queen Victoria and re-
mained over right at Windsor Palace.
The Cleveland police went for the gam
blers on Tuesday night Of last week, and
pulled eighty-eight, found in a room of the
johnson House.
The death of L. P. Richardson, a cores
pondent of the Springfield, Mass, RepW6-
Ilean, is announced from Cheyenne The
body was found scalped and riddled with
bullets.
Allan Taylor Caperton, United States
Senator from West Virginia, died in Wash
ington on the 26th ult., of disease engen-
dered by The recent severe heated term.
His term Of service would have expired in
1881. he was a member of the Confede-
rate States Senate up to the close of the
war in 1856. Age Sc years.
We see it asserted that two companies Of
United States troops have been ordered to
Hamburg, the scene of Gen. NJ. C. Buffers
late chivalrous exploit. This viii provide
for the safety of Hamburg, but it viii not
prevent the white line ''polcy" from break
ing out in some other spot.
The Boston advertiser has this very sug-
gestive reflection, substantially the same as
asserted by US few weeks since: ''More
negroes have been massacred in the South
by members of the Democratic party with
in ten years than there have been men
murdered by Indians in the West, but the
Democratic part wants the army with
drawn from the South entirely"
The manufacture Of Democratic cam
paign literature at the public expense be-
ing about completed, the leaders in the
House have pretty much dropped all other
business to hear it read. The appropria-
ton bills are expected to pass themselves.
In four column letter to Mr.. Oswald
Ottendorfer, published in the New York
Staats-Zietung, Carl Schurz has stated the
grounds upon which the members of the
Liberal Conference of last May base their
Endorsement and support of the Cincinnati
nominees. The reasons given by Mr..
schurz for his choice of Hayes and Wheeler
clearly explains why the Liberals Of 1872
and the independent voters of 1876 are al
most to a man found once more acting with
the Republican party.
Having escaped the periis md discom-
forts Of the heated term we are again
threatened .Kitha relapse Of the Beecher
scandal. Besides the decision of the adyis-
org Councils Committee of Five to give
bearing to all the charges against Mr..
Bescher, it transpires that Gen. B. F.
Butler, Frank Moulton, and Roger A.
Pryor have been holding an anti-Beecher
conference, and had determined to force
Beecher by the S1st Of July, to make an
swer to the plaintiff or let his case go by
default. in which event Mr.. Moulton can
have his damages assessed by sheriff's
jury. Between these two elements of dis
turbance the prospect of revival Of the
controversy may be considered quite dis
tressing.
It is said, probably with truth, that there
Is not little hnessing and some degree of
asperity between Tilden and Hendricks.
Their views clash and as it is hard to har-
monize, or even to settle upon a couglom-
crate ticket that shall carry both wings of
the party, the thought is said to be enter
tanned of elbowing one another off the tick
ct and out of the way. But they are nei
ther Of them Of the kind that let 90 when
they get hold. As the only use they
know for principles or policies is as means
to get into place, it is'ridiculous to suppose
that anything in the way of principles or
measures could cause either Of them 70 de
cline nomination. But that thew and
their partisans are intriguing in the Con-
federate. House to influence its action On
the Resumption Act, each against the 9th
er, is not only probable, but is believed lv
the Damocrats Also that they are delay
ing their letters of acceptance to see how
the initiation cat Jumps. 1t is funny muss
that the Democrats have got into and their
impotent efforts to get out Of it, is enter
tanning to their oppOnents-the Republic
cans-who entertain the kindliest wishes
for a continuous plentifuiness Of that same.
