CURRENT OPINION.

ALI. that saves Alabama Haynes from
expulsion for selling that cadetship is
the iTon-clad perjury of Lawyer Lilly,
who swOre positively that he kept the
three thousand dollars, and that HAYS
never kept cent of it. The committee
has been unable to disprove this, al
though every member is of the moral
conviction that Hays received some of
the mOney.-NdshUiHe american DEM.
A correspondent Of the Boston Globe
says that there is an anti-bOurbon demo-
cratic movement on foot in Washington,
Tor the nomination either of Supreme
Judge David Davis, of Illinois, or of
General Winfield S. Hancock, for the
presidency, with ex-governor CASTOR, of
Massachusetts, as second on the ticket.
At the present time General Hancock
holds the second place in the affection of
young democrats.
THE Harrisburg Patriot shows that
the carpetbaggers of the south area two
edged calamity. They not only rob their
immediate constituents, but the unrav-
| cling of their credentials is a tax on the
| exCheqUer of the nation. 1t is estimated
| that 1T may cost as high as fifty thousand
| dollars to unwind Senator Spencer, so as
| to expose him in the original cocoon con
ditiOn in which he undertook to buy his
way into the senate from the state of AL
| ALBANIA.
IT is denied that Senator Morton's son
receives twenty-five thousand dollars a
year as secretary of the Alaska company,
which holds the seal contract illegally
awarded by Boutwell, and Richardson,
when those worthless engineered the job
beIy of the treasury department. The
young man, it is said, receives only the
modest salary of twenty-five hundred dol
lars year. Who, then, it may be per
tinently asked, gets the remainder of the
twenty thousand dollars Chicago

BY decision of the United States
supreme court, the election law under
E which Federal officers have been ena
abled to prosecute and intimidate white
voters of the south-uader pretext O
Furnishing them for interfering with the

unconstitutional and void. The deci
