POLITICAL NOTES.

for Tilden and reform in November.
One year ago the county was Republican.
Springfield Republican: "Afr. Bout
| well has,one virtue-that of consistency.
Four years ago he was as opposed to
shaking hands across the bloody chasm
as he is now."
Cleveland (Ohio) Paindealer:: "Carl
Schurz may go for prescription, Hayes
and corruption, but it Is very evident
that he does not carry with him the
German element of the city of -Cleve-,.
land"
Albany Argus: "'Live within your
income,' is Governor Tilden's advice.
But if the Republican party remains in
power another four years, nobody in pri
viate life will have an income to live
within"
Detroit Free Press; "No radical organ
will admit that the Democratic House
has saved the country dollar, but they
all pitch into the Representatives for
their miserly conduct in cutting down
appropriations
Albany argus: The Democratic
House struggles day after day to save
money for the people. A Republican
Senate and a Republican President resist
every effort at retrenchment.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Muller, of
Ohio, who was elected OH the same ticket
with Hayes, when the latter was elected
Governor the second time, has declared
for Tilden and Hendricks. Next!
That once hot Republican journal, the
Michigan Tribune, has given up all hope
of reforming the Government under the
Cincinnati ticket, and comes out square
for TIlden and Hendricks.
Ex-Governor Bullock. of Massachu-
sets, is reported as saying that the lack
of enthusiasm and excitement in the
campaign greatly surprises him, and that
the present financial and commercial de-
preston undoubtedly accounts for it.
Charles Francis Adams has written a
letter to Mr.. Hugh F. McDermott, of the
Jersey City Herald, stating that he will
support Tilden, whom he considers the
most fitted to meet the present emergen-l
cyin American politics. ..g,,g
Alfred 81. Colquitt, the Democratic
nominee for Governor of Georgia, is a
native of that State, and graduate of
Princeton. He was. representative in
Congress from 1858 to 1856 and a Breck--
eDridge elector in the campaign of 1860.
The disagreement between Virginia
and Maryland, as to their dividing line,
will probably be settled this month at a
meeting of the arbitrators at Cape May.
The space claimed by each is mainly
water, and valuable, because it contains
large bed of oysters. ''d t"t ~ =
The negro women of Florida threaten
to leave their "liege lords" if they vote
the Democratic ticket; and the lawyers
offer to procure divorces, free of charge,
to those men whose wives will desert
them. A number of negroes will vote
the Democratic ticket just to get rid of
their wives. a....9i .-s..,y.s,
The New York Sun: 1t is gratifying
to find so many Republicans who recog-
. nize the ability of Mr.. Tilden, and ac-
knowledge that he is the fit man fol, Pres
ident. Mr.. Tilden's Republican vote in
this city and State will be very large
He has won these Republicans over by
sheer force of character and actual re-.

Abbeyille Medium: 1t is reported that
Lem Gufin has retired from the field of
| politics to his farm. He is to have moth
| ing more to do with the business during
this campaign. Lem has always been,
regarded as shrewd man, and if this
rumor is true, it is pretty good evidence
that the Radical party is in its last ago.

The Chicago Couriersays "Mark the
difference! New York bankers have just,
purchased two-hundred thousand Georgia
State Bonds at a premium, while there is
not a sane capitalists in all the East who
would be willing to give ten cents on the
dollar for South Carolina obligations.
Georgia has Democratic. State govern
ment, while South Carolina is hopelessly
Republican" '''
Hartford Times: 1t is worthy of no.
tice that all the "outrages" upon negroes
at the South are in the Republican
States, where the governors, judges, pros
ecuting attorneys and the rest of the
office holders are Republicans. I'm the
Democratic States, there is good order
and good government. and negroes and
white people are alike protected.
Philadelphia Times: Mr.. Patterson,
by courtesy regarded as United States
Senator from South Carolina, has become
q sudden convert to civil service reform,
and he declared in the Senate yesterday
that he hoped every Republican thief
would be exposed and punished. What
an emptying of carpet.baggers from the
Senate there would be if some sweet,
potential spirit should hear Patterson's
prayer! nm
A. s. Wallace; in speech at Chester,
told the negroes that If the Democrats
got into power in this State, corn would
rise to twenty-five dollars a bushel. He
said the depression 10 the price of cotton
was caused by Democratic victories in
the Southern States. Hewas very bitter
against the white people, denouncing the
rifle and sabre clubs in the severest Ian
guage. ..4..,...l.
What Governor Tilden has done for
the people of New. York, and what the
Democratic Congress has done for the
country generally, Governor Houston
has been doing in Alabama. Says the
Montgomery 1drcrtiser:: He stopped
the leaks, cut down expenses, practiced,
the most rigid economy, and will save
the people at least $40, ,00O,O 900 during his
term. Wherever the Democrats have
control in the South order prevails, and
the people secure in their person and
property. ro" .yr,."
After considerable correspondence be-
tween the chairmen of the State execu-
tive committees of the Democratic and
Republican parties of North Carolina
joint public discussions have been agreed
upon by the competing candidates for
Governor. Ex-Governor Vance and
Judge Settle will together visit every re-
naming one of the ninety-three counties
of the State speaking at least three or
four times weekly. The only intermis-
sion in the canvass will be during the
week of the State fair at Raleigh, in Oc-
