POLITICAL NOTES.

Now, Senator Patterson, hurry up and flop
back TO Hampton.
On mature reflection Gov. Chamberlain
thought he wouldn't.
WarmOth in the statuesque attitude OF a DIS
Interested pacfcator ia very subtle aud attractive
work Of art.
1t must be admitted that for man who
doesn't dare go home Senator Patterson makes good
deal Of noise
If Wade Hampton continues to talk and act
in Columbia ne talked and acted in Washington, he
will be easily master OF the situation.
If an observer could look over the shoulder
certain Southern and into the hands they
hold he might convinced that OF these political
gamblers were bluiing on a strange pair.
What with an extra session of Congress, q
vigorous reform in the civil service, and weekly pro-
camation from Mr. Packard, the country IL likely TO
have a pretty warm Summer, politically speaking.
The business men of Louisiana are not press
ing forward in patoons to sign recommendations OF the
Packard Government and such the complete stag
nation of trade in that State that the business have
little else to do.
There was once courageous little bull that
obstiuately refused make way for locomotive. IL
beloved paved the ground and shook its horns in
an ostentatious way result little railroad
hash. Perhaps Mr.. Packard might take warning
The great mule buyer is disconsOlate. Sena-
tor Barnum OF Connecticut recently declared TO friend
that Tdens defeat the host bitter disappointment
of his whole life" 1t is strange and yet there are
whoare more disappointed at the peace
able success of Hampton IN south Carolina
Somebody ought to induce Mr.. Casey to 60
into the carrying trade again. II he would only load up
revenue with OF the supernumerary Lcgis
latures which lying around loose In Ncw0reans, and
steam down to the Gulf Of Mexico. he would prove him
self the champion elmnator: and It would be hard 10
supply the New0rleans market with too much enina-
ton to-day.
Mr.. WattersOn once more filings out the
banner of independent journalism In open letter In
The Louisville Courier journal he says: IL am once
more an independent journalist, answerabe directly TO
the people for what say and do, the responsible,
and for the matter Of that the humblemindcd,
because believe possess their confidence as Wei as
their good will"
1t was one of the philosophical remarks Of
Mrs. Camp that sick folks may ride on camels. but
it amt 80 easy for 'em TO out of needles eye"
Some such spirit seems to actuate The Buffalo Courier
when 1t says What pity-for his own sake well US
tho countrys-Mr. Hayes Is fraudulent President!
Had lie been lawfully elected many thugs he is doing
now, in the way Of carrying out Democratic measures
and policy would have challenged the hearty support
of men OF all parties and he would have been backed up
by patriotic public sentiment that would have made
him IRE stibe. He might have gone far toward
denorazing the party which opposed his election aud
drawing powerful element of il to his side. But as il
