The following dispatches to the Detroit Dali
ly News, indicate political movement OF con-
siderable significance: tuE
CINCINNATI, April 7.-Secretary Bristow, os-
tensbly on his way to Louisville for short
vacation among his friends, remained here sew
eral DAYS, and was visited by hundreds OF adj
mirers. He left for Louisville yesterday morn
ing. Political circles here are considerably
moved by his visit and the expressions of ad.
miratlon it elected, and 1t is said confidently in
certain quarters that the event was the initia-
tive Of strong movement whose ann is to
place him at once IN the forefront OF the Re
publican candidates for president 1t is GER
tain that his departure was immediately fol
lowed by very numer0usly- attended confer
ence OF leading Republicans and Independents,
among whom were Murat Halstead. Of the
Commercial and Richard Smith, of the Gazette.
Henry Waterson, of the Louisville Courier
Journal, is also in town, accommodating the
movement, and, it is said, not altogether In
disposed, under certain conditions, to go into
it. Halstead left for New York in the evening,
where 1t is asserted he has an engagement to
meet Sam. Bowles, of the Springfield Republi-
can at the Brevoort Hclse, and there perfect
the plans for pushing lie Bristow movement.
Politicians here regard the movement as q
very formidable one, and as placing Bristow's
chances far in advance.

The Mason County Record comes out for
Br,stow for President. 1t says:
There are Indications that Secretary Bris-
tow ia advancing toward the 'front.' If he has
not already attained that position, in the list of
candidates mentioned in connection with the
nomination for President at the Cincinnati
Convention. Bristows bold, determined, per-
sistent and unhinching warfare upon the gil
gantic whisky frauds, and his success in bring
ing them to light and exposing to punishment
men, irrespective OF person or position, con-
nected with these frauds upon the Government
have revealed in HIM qualifications OF incor-
ruptibility and zeal in hunting and roofing
out public thieves and putting a stop to these
wholesale robberies upon the National Treas
ury, which should command a premium IN the
administration OF Governmental affairs. These
are times that demand, as the very first con-
sderation in the selection of public officials,
men OF known integrity and purity-men who
when tired have proved themselves incorrupti-
BILE, IL such can be found. These qualifca-
tions, united with acknowledged ability, must
not only insure success in the election il such
aman is put forward as the standard bearer of
the Republican party in the coming campaign,
but will give Us an honorable administration,
upon such principles OF justice and honesty as
shall secure the respect and esteem OF the
whole people and be the glory OF the nation"

THE MYSTERIOUS IsLAND.-we have just re-
ceived VERNEs last famous story, The Mys-
ferrous Handicapped from the. Clouds I"
1t is an intensely interesting book. BY the cele-
brated author of 100000 Leagues under the
Seasl" "Tour Of the World IN so days ]" &C.,
and gives the exciting adventures of five Union
prisoners who, during our late great war, es-
capped from Richmond, Va, in captured bal
loon! They were driven bya wild hurricane
across the entire continent and fell upon an
uninhabited island IN the Pacific ocean. Here
they lived several years, unable to escape.
Finally a vessel appeared but proved to be a
pirate ship, and instead of rescuing, endeavored
to murder them. During the combat a mys-
FERROUS agent destroyed their vessel The
castaways had frequent exciting adventures
with wild animals, and also met with many
very mysterious incidents that were apparently
supernatural. Their ingenious contrlvances to
better their condition are highly interesting.
In short, it is Vernes best book, and that is the
highest possible commentator.

The Lansing Republican has the following in
regard to candidates for Congress in the Sixth
District
For Representative to, Congress from this
district, Daniel Crossman, OF WILLIAMSON, is
favorably regarded by his friends in this county
who know his diligent and faithful service as
their Representative, as Clerk Of the House,
and IN other offices where business ability and
integrity are required. Other candidates named
are Gen: o. l.. Spaulding, OF St. Johns. X. E..
Trowbridge, OF Bath Mark $. Brewer and
Henry ". Lord Of Pontiac. Gen. Spaulding
performed valiant service in the army, was Sec
rotary of State for four years, and now holds
an unimportant Federal office. Mr.. Trowbridge
served the people very acceptably for six years
in Congress during the rebellion and the recon-
struction period. Mr.. Brewer was an influential
and esteemed State Senator in 1873. Mr.. Lord
has been United States consul at Manchester,
England, and is man Of fine scholarship.

We get fine sample Of democratic reform
rs compared with republican economy, In the
way the contingent expenses are managed
under Secretary Bnstow on one hand and under
the confederate house Of Representatives on
the other. He has made the appropriation last
Cor over nine months, and then shut down on
any further outlay FOR gas, water, or fuel, be-
cause it is strictly forbidden by law to incur
debt in advance. The deficiency of the whole
country is estimated at only 100000, and the
expenses OF long evening sessions at the whisky
trials have been great. Now the confederate
house has used up in four months the appro-
priat'on for contingent expenses designed to
last whole year, and deficiency bib has al
ready been introduced calling for 200. One
OF the WAYS in which the money went was to
employ without authority OF law, 16 extra as
s'stsnts for the ex-rebel door-keeper, most OF
whom wore the confederate gray in the late
unpieasansness.' They must be rewarded,
even IL The treasury is unlawfully bled to do it.

HAYES. and Indiana Instructs ats delegates to

tain that neither OF the gentlemen named, un-
less possibly it may be Hayes, can be or ought
10 be nominated. Senators Conkling, Cameron
and Morton are men OF unquestionable ability.
They have done the country vast services in q
time when men OK their peculiar talents we're
required. The nation owes them o debt or
gratitude for services rendered in the past, as
Il owes grateful remembrance to Grant and
Sherman and even Butler. But 1t does not
necessarily follow that they should all be Presi-
dents. Nor does it follow that because they
had the talents to make them useful in time OF
war, or the formative period Immediately sue
