Political Notes.

The great historical painting of the
electoral commission. which Mrs. Fassett
was commissioned to execute is proceeding
very slowly. The republicans don't take
as much interest in this work as they did
some months ago.
Washington dispatches intimate that the
radical republicans are not going to
make war on Hayes quite so much as they
threatened before congress met. On the
contrary. they, after counting noses, i
and finding what an infinitessimal
minority they are in both branches, are
only too glad to make overtures for
