Personal AND POLITICAL.

1t is suggested that as Tilden and Hen
dricks canaot honestly vote together, on ac-
count Of opposing sentiments, they ought to
pair of on election day.
1t Is reported tha, Senator Booth. Of Cal
ifornia, independent Democrat, is about to
take the stump ior Hayes and Wheeler
Hon. f d. Calyer will address the Hayes
and Wheeler Club in Champlain, on the
2lst inst. Judge Culver was an earnest
friend Of Mr.. Greeley in lS72. but goes
equally earnestly with his o'l tieDds and
party for Hayes and Wheeler ia 1876.
R. Barnwell Rhctt.Jr., Of south Carolina,
and Colonel John ) Mosty, OF Virginia, have
written letters. The former supports Tilden
because he regards the Democratic party as
friendly to the South His argument is
practically in seaport Of the Old doctrine Of
State rights. Mosby supports Hayes and
Wheeler because he deurscates the perpetu-
alton Of sectional issues. The South, he
says, processes to accept the results achieved
by the Republican Iarty, and if it does 50
honestly it should sustain them by support
ing that party. lie thinks that Democratic
victory would produce reaction where there
should beprogress.
President Grant tells the New York
HeraId's correspondent in late interview
that he never asked Mr.. Bristow to resign :
on the contrary he exertei himself three
the cabinet. lie has acted throughout in
the Let no guilty man escape" spirit he
said it, and he meant it. He believes there
was well considered conspiracy against
him. and Is afraid Bristow was in it. Bat
till he reached that conclusion, he says
IL always regarded him with the fullest
confidence, goodwill and respect"

at a salary Of $4,000 a year, promising to
get it for her if she would give 81 900 to be
used on members of the board of education.
Represe ntative S. S. Cox probably con-
sumes more hours in useless talk in the
House than any other member. To Uncle
Sam time is essentially money, and if the
tongue of the New York Congressman were
less active the annual expense of running
Congress wouldn't be so large. But when
he adds the manners of a drunkard to his
superhuous speech he becomes simply a
nuisance that deserves to he incontinently

thing in forcing him to humiliate himself
by apologizing to Mr.. Kasson. - Boston

The Savannah Necs, in the following
paragraph. shows how thorough has been
its reconciliation ''It is stated that an
Atlanta youth, a son of well-known cit-
zen, is now with Sitting Bull. 1t would
be but poetic justice for this young man to
return home with Terry's scalp dangling at
his belt lie would thus become the ayenger

This, you will observe, is flexible cur
rency, suited to the wants of trade; saves
trouble of protest, notary's fees, and such

it, the inventor gives it to the public-the
first time he ever gave away anything in his
life, though some malicious people say he
did "give away" Bill Tweed.-Neic York

The only daily German newspaper in
Iowa, Der Demokrdt, of Davenport, has
been led by careful consideration of Gov.
Tilden's letter of acceptance to abandon him
and come out for Hayes and Wheeler. The
editor says he does this because he thinks
Gov Tilden's demand for the repeal of the
resumption act a surrender to the inaa-
, tionists.
