The Old Whig Revival.

The Louisville Courier-J Journal, speaking of
the much discussed revival Of the old Wing
party, drops into poetry thus:
We shall surely not quarrel with Mr. Thomp-
sons loving references to the old Whig party.
There is something touching in them. 1t was
as Wing that he gained his laurels, and ON
the spot which he now revisits after long years
of retirement. He comes back to Washing
ton an old man but great official. He be-
holds the capitol of his country, much grown
in size truly-he beholds it flaring in the sun
shine, written all over with the luminous pages
of old Whig history, and his heart swells like
the great dome above it. He gazes into the
Virginia hills, and as the moonlight streams
over the shadows, an hundred ghOstly forms,
/ nswallow-tailed coats and white cravats, steal
out from under the ancient ash boughs moving
solemnly to the soft sweet music of ''the Union.

Current Comment.

Stanley Matthews thinks Gen. Garfield will
receive the Republican caucus nomination
ior Speaker, but that he will get no votes
from Southern Democrats.
A gentleman who has just returned from
an extended tour through the West says that
Sayler IS gaining votes for Speaker, and that
Randall is losing ground.
There is considerable feeling Of ''don't care
which whips" manifested about the Eastern
troubles. The affected that way say "Go in
Bear" Go in, Crescent" whichever seems
topmost for the time.
There has been good deal of guess work
about the probable length of the extra session
of Congress. Mr.. Randall thinks it will not
be prolonged by a fight over the army bill
now that the troops have been withdrawn
from South Carolina and Louisiana.
:. The New York World is so much worried
over the difficulty of preserving the old party
lines now the old issues are gone, that it is
writing long articles every other day telling
the Democrats they must ''stand firm" till
tney have repealed pretty much all the old
reconstruction legislation.
The great majority of the Republican party
began to vote after the Whig passed away,
and what would it say to the position? We
can not afford to try experiments. That sail
ors blanket never grew longer by sewing
upon the bottom what had been cut from the
top; nor will the Republican party become
larger by building on at the South what it
loses at the North. Syracuse Standard.
We are authorized to say the report that
certain politicians had engaged DIR. Schlieman
to come to this country to exhume the Whig
party, is an entire misapprehension of the
object OF his expected visit to America. The
doctor, when applied to for the purpose, said
the job was entirely beyond his powers of
accomplishment. Beside, his line is the ex-
humation of art treasures and not of num-
mies.-Troy Times.
Last fall Mr.. Metcalfe, Republican, and
Mr.. Frost, Democrat, ran for Congress in the
Third Missouri District, in the city of st.
Louis, Metcafe having small majority; but,
pending the official canvass, some one en-
tered the office of tha county clerk and al
tered the returns so as to give Frost ma
Jority. The case was taken to the courts by
Metcalte and, having gone to the Supreme
and the Democratic majority in the House is
thus reduced one.
Senator Dorsey predicts that when Gen.
Garfield returns from Ohio he will not be the
administration candidate for speaker. Sena-
tor Dorsey, on recent trip through Ohio,
says that he found the Western Reserve in
Garfeld's district very earnestly opposed to
the Southern policy of the President. Some
prominent men in Garfield's district informed
him Dorsey that, if the latter did appear as
an administration candidate for speaker, and
indorsed the presidents action with respect
to the South, it would be the end of Gen.
Garfield's career in the district Washington

CONGRESSMAN Roger @. Mills. of Texas,

CONGRESSMAN Roger @. Mills, of Texas,
in recent speech gave as his opinion that
the scheme of the Electoral Commission
averted civil war, and believed that "if war
had come it would have been bloody and
destructive war at the North, while we,
who are one-sided, would have had nobody
to fight and would have been exempt from
the scourge. The Northern people would
have fled its rayages in swarms with such
property as they could bring away, and sought
shelter and homes among the quiet people Of
the South, and when peace and order were
restored, the South would have been the
more populous section of the two."

THOSE who are looking for England to
take part at once in the settlement of the
Eastern question will likely be grevously dis
appointed. In the last war between Russia
and Turkey the strife had gone on with vary
ing fortunes for over year before England
and France lifted finger to help the Porte.
The plan proposed is most likely one of pro-
crastination. Great Britain will watch The
progress of the war, and will not allow the
Turks to be too badly beaten. So lorg as the
Russians confne their Turk-thrashing to the
northern portion of Bulgaria, England will
hardly do more than keep strong feet of
iron-clads near Constantinople, ready to pro-
tect that city against sudden capture; hut if
the Russians gain the passes of Shumla and
Sophia, and begin TO pour down into the
plains of Roumelia and Albania, she may
take a hand in the game.

of seeding has been done the past two
or three weeks, the farmers being moved to
extra efforts in order to offset, as far as posi-
BILE, the ravages of the grasshoppers, so that

FROM an official statement of the imports
of wheat into the United Kingdom during the
fifteen months ended March 81, 1877, it ap-
pears that the quantity sent from the United
States was 24,299, 1852 cwt., and from Russia,
10,112.4 .444 cwt. Turkey also contributed
1,41, 1888 cwt. to the English supply. If the
Turco-Russian war continues, American
farmers will probably have an opportunity OF
furnishing nearly the entire quantity hitherto
obtained from Russia and Turkey, and ma
terial addition will thus be made to our ma
tional exports.

The general opinion at Washington is that
the extra session of Congress will not be a
short one. In the first place considerable
time may possibly be consumed in the cleo
tion of Speaker and other matters of organ
ization. Besides the indications are that .
variety of business will be laid before Con-
gress by the Departments. The deficiency
for the Navy Department will be presented !;
a number of railroad schemes are expected
to crop out from private; sources an appro-
priation for the French exhibition and for
the buildings of a national museum-to pre-
serve the acquisitions of the Centennial
will be asked, and there will doubtless be
fight over the army bill, if the extreme Dem
ocrats carry out their programme of attempt
ing reduction. So that it is pretty certain
that, unless the summer should be extremely
hot. and Washington unusually unhealthy,
the session will wear well along toward the
regular winter meeting.
