THE veteran retired editor, Thurlow
Weed, is becoming almost as garr ulous as
William Cullen Bryant and Peter Cooper.
None of them see any chance for Conk-
ling. Well, well, it is always thus with
old age. "Ah!' say these veterans, "they
did not manage thus in our day These
boys will ride 10 the devil! And the coun-
try will 90 to pot" Such are the mus
ings of each generation as it passes away.
Aud yet we boast of progress.

The Richmond Enquirer says eighteen Dem
ocIatic papers strongly oppose the nomination
of Governor Tiden for the Presidency. That

Democratic sheets through the country doubt
its expediency.

BLAINE AND BRISTow.

In many of the districts Blaine has evident
ly strong hold on the voters, snd with the
great mass of them believe after Conkling
they would prefer him as candidate to any
other man. But the feeling is widespread
that his nomination would by no means secure
the State of New York against such 4 man as
Seymour, and the Republican sentiment of the
interior is that to succeed in the coming strug-
gle the party must carry New York. Whether
justly or not, the impression exists that If
ConklIng is nominated, no matter what else
may happen at st. Louis, Seymour cannot be
induced 10 accept the Democratic nomination
against his brother-in-law. This impression
is not confined to the Republicans, the Demo-
Gratis being of the same mind, and many Re-
publicans who appear to have terrible fear
of Seymour as q candidate argue that to put
any other man in the field than Conkling
would, for this reason as well as many others,
be extremely hazardous. They contend that
the Democrats have no other candidate than
Seymour who can carry the State against a
strong New York Republican like COnkling,
and that they will not only get strong man
by nominating Conkling, but actually put 1t
out of the power of the Democrats to force
Seymour into the field. This feeling, then,
as to Conkling, in this particular is hurtful TO
Blaine, especially as it is backed up by the
suspicion Of many that Conkling's friends in
many parts of the State would be rather luke
warm In his support.

critical swell-head, and'an ignorant, depraved,

The Naval Committee of the ex- Confederate
House of Representatives had about concluded
their investigation into the con iuct of the
Navy Department when it was suggested to
them that the Bureau of Navigation in the
Department had under its control the opera
tiOn of dredging machine, "a mud -iinger.)
Jealous of the least competition in their ia
voritc vocation, the committee at once decided
to inquire into the capacity of the machine in
question. Answers to a few questions, how
ever, served to satisfy the committee that they
had nothing to fear from this rival, and fur

was Greeley stronghold and everybody ap-
peared to think that Greeley had the inside

looming man" while all the time his weak
