POLITICAL NOTES.

Judge Davis's third party is unanimous for the
safe side of the fence.
If there il nothing crooked in the carpetbag ALI
ance why do the Democrats shun investigations
1t must occur to Mr.. Spencer Of Alabama, that he
has missed a great chance for fame and possible
competence.
The Silver Bill is in a total eclipse and Mr.. Bland
is lookng anxiously for the advent of the enraged
masses with the fatal sponge.
The Hon Stanley Matthews seems inclined to
bornacle himself upon the Democratic hemisphere
Of the Hon. David Davis. This ought To encourage
the other, and the better half Of Mr.. Davis.
Senator Garland must have been wide awake yes
tcrdav morning when he swoetly suggested that Ar.
Fdmunds was "a fungus on the Senator from New
Hampshire Fungus, rs an amenIty Of debate, 10
not bad.
The Washington rumOrs about Mr.. Tllden's con-
nection with the Transformation of Patterson and
Conover seem absurd, of course, but M. Tilden's
conduct since his return from Europe has not been
such as 10 encourage belief that he thinks himself
incapable of the perseverance OF the eject.
Georgia will elect Legislature and vote on tho
new constitution next Wednesday. The prospect
now is that the constitution will be adopted that
Atlanta i'll be made capital OF the State. aud that
the new Legislature will be overwhelmingly in Ia
vor OF returning Senator Gordon 10 the United
STATES senate Mr. Gordon Is exceedingly popular
in the state, ana There Is no rlVal VINO can nave n
hope Of defeating him.
Upon which of tine two great political parties of
our native land is Senator John }. Patterson of
Pennsylvania ard South Carolina, now nficting
the most serious damage This IS the obtrusiye
question upon which the country demands a verdict
and upon this Mr.. Abran, Oakley Hall ought 10 sum-
mon the Ages TO sit a a grand allegorcal investiga-
tion committee, with power 10 send for persons and
papers.
Mr. Wendell Phillips hits the silver movement in
the right spot when he calls IL mere side-show -
of the paper money movement. He thinks It will be
of good effect III oosenng the fetters of capital and
in removing the prejudice against paper money.

a salutary one, nevertheless. Every disclosure
of the true character of these old punderihg

the spectacle of Woodward Ostentatlousiy

and seems inclined now to sell to the others
Sweeny and Woodward are only the prelude
to Connolly and Tweed.
