A New Candidate for the Presidency
A special to the Inter Ocean fir ON
Wnohinninn of the 20th aaua.

A special to the Inter Ocean fir ON
Washington, of the Both, says:
1t transpires this evening that
movement has been incubating here
for some days, and has already gain
ed great strength, in favor of pres
idential candidate whose name has
not hitherto been mentioned, and
there are many sage politicians who
stake their reputation as prophets
upon his success rs the great IN.
known. The man is Bishop Simp.
con, of Philadelphia. The suggestion,
it seems, originates with men who
are not politicians, but meets with
universal favor among those of that
class who have not yet made allan
ces with any of the candidates hith-
erto mentioned. Bishop Simpsons
long and useful public service his
high character and culture, great sa-
gacity, large experience, fidelity and
active labor in behalf Of truth and
the freedom of the colored race, his
almost unparalleled popularity, and
other reasons seem to fit him for the
choice of the Republicans, and the
absence of all suspicion against him
of completely or encouragement of
corruption or political trickery would
leave his name unspotted and his in
tegrity unquestioned in these days
when suspicion is so general. He
was life long abolitionist, the con-
fidential friend of President Lincoln
throughout his whole administration,
and one of his most trusted advisers
in the darkest hour OF the war.
From the fact that he is as far as any
man can be from being politician,
40 free from all taints and alliances,
and so completely represents the
moral and cultured sentiment of his
country, those who have suggested
him believe be would embody the
necessity so often mentioned-that
the man must be the platform this
wear. Il cannot BIZ stated just how
vide this movement in bis favor ex
tends. but il certainly meets With un-
parallel approval here among those
WHO have not yet made alliances IN
favor OF any other candidate.

A Fight with Thrilling Sequel
From the Denver News.l

Our exchanges from the other edge of
the plains tell about thrilling inoident
on the Kansas u Missouri bridge, at
Leavenw orth, the other day, Two men,
who appeared to be very drunk, were
crossing the river from the Missouri to
the Kansas side. About the middle OF
the bridge they got into o quarrel and
commenced knocking each other about.
The fight was observed by several speo-
tators on the Kansas shore, and they
saw sight worth seeing.
One OF the men knocked the other
clear of the bridge, and he somersaulted
through the air sixty-five feet to the sur
taoe OF the water. How far he went un-
der nobody knows, and nobody ever ex-
pected to see him alive again. But he
soon rose and SWAN ashore, and scram-
bled out Of the Missouri AOod uniDjured
and perfectly sober. Soon as he saw
what he had done, the victor ran with
all his might back TO the Missouri side,
and he is probably running yet away
from his supposed murder. The other
refused to state the cause OF the quarrel
or give names. He also went back to
Missouri after his friend, doubtless 10
tlnish the fight.

Nutritiua valua Of com.

The Journal Of Chemistry gives the
following sensible statement of impor.
tant facts in relation to the value OF
corn as an element OF human food.
The prejudice existing against the use
of maize as an article 0i human food,
among certain classes Of people, is sur
prising, and this prejudice 10 based ON
Ignorance. Our corn la seldom found in
Irish or English kitchens, although
millions Of bushels are exported TO Eng
land every year. The people there are
strangers to those New England luxu-
ries. Corn bread and puddings, and we
suppose il will be a long lime before
they win know anything Of them.
Indian corn IL one of the most impor-
tant and healthful articles OF human
food that beneficent Providence has
bestowed upon man; and to Its high
nutritlYe value Is que in large degree
the strength and vigur OF the race OF men
who laid the foundations OF this great
republic. 1t was much more largely

wel!-iounded reason, has usurped its
place in bread-making. In the several

lPhIl. Cor. N. Y. Times

It has been already noted In the Times
dispatches that the crowd treated all
foreign visitors with the utmost respect.
Dom Pedro, and one or two others, were
indeed regarded with Difference. There
was only one exception, think, to this
general rule, and that was more anus
ing than Offensive. Alter the opening
exercises were over, anu the crowd had
dispersed through the immense build
'ings, leaving The grounds comparatively
open and ciear, one of the Turkish
exhibitors clad In the flowing silk
gown peculiar 10 his country, and
accompanied by o beautiful young
woman, who seemed to be his wife, and
who was magnifcently attlred in the
national costume and brilliant with
many gems, passed through the avenue
leading from Machinery Hall to the Main
Building. The couple attracted great
deal OF attention and much innocent
comment, When they had just reached
the doors of the grand gallery they were
met by acertain wcli-kn0wn negro men,
per Of Congress from South Carolina,
who was accompanied by two OF those
peculiarly beautiful colored women VINO
are SO often met with in the Pal
metto State. .As the sparties ap.
preached each other the Congressman,
who was swelled out In all
the dignity of a dress-coat and white kid
gloves, exclaimed, looking fixedry ut the
turkish lady. "I'ciares TO man, dat am
a stunnin' looking woman" A shade Of
jealous annoyance passed over the face
Of one Of his companions as he said this,
and running close up to the Turkish
party she inspected the face OF the little
lady from the East withher gold-mounted
Eyeglasses. Then she returned to her
escort and exclaimed, "Well, Mr.. s.,
