{ The Now Party Movement.
WAsHINaToN, July sl9.--Jpdge Bartly,
for a long tiho Jadge Of tho. Supreme
Court Of Ohio, and now prominent lawyer
in this city, is the authority for the an
nouncement that already Q very we'll con-
ceived aud arranged moyement is on foot
looking to the formation of new political
marty, to be called "the Union party"
Judge Bartly is a brotherin,lawl of the
Shermsns, and has alwaye been considered

would like to see tue Union party become.
tho power in tho land. 1t is argued by tho
adhereuts of this now movement that the
Democratic party is entirely. seotional; that
without the solid South it could not survive,
and that it's greatest. strength. lies, in the
fact that all 7ebeldom is with and for it.;
and, on the other hand, that tho Republican
party is living iu the North, East and West
entirely upon the food ii receives from the
still banning embers of hatred NJ the South;
that thefpolicySofS Hayeslis to@sxtracI the
better eleneuts' from these parties 'of the
sections aud carry the country with them,
and that Evarts and Schurz are heart and
soul in favor Of this new Union party. Ex.
Senator Foote, of Mississippi and Tennes-
sec, is partner of Judge Bartly and he is
an outspoken advocate of the new movement.
It is alleged that there are thousands of the
leading men of the South ready to join this
party, aud that before Congress meets in
October it's purpose, strength aud good in :
teutions will be made manifest. f"
It is very certain that there is some kind
of new move being made on the political
obess board, and that the President and his
ministerial advisers don't seem to care much
how the leaders of the Republican party OK.
press their disapproval of the course of the
administration. 1t is alleged that many of
the clerks, whose homes arc ostensibly ip
the various States are secretly working,
both here and ut home, in the interest Of
this new movement, and that 10 the early
part of October CAUCUS will bo held in
this city of prominent men. who intend to
20 with the "now idea" Among those
who are to meet in this caucus will, it is
~said, be found Senators and members of
Congress FROM either Of the present parties,
and that 10 the House the Union party
will hold the balance of power, and 60 far to
dictate who shall be offoors Of the House.
It is proposed to create this party ina man
ner similar to the way that the Republicans
bocouc SO successful. The great object

but not in 1879, and letting out Of an in
definite amount of silver change, the ore to
he purchascd by bonds, and the reduction
of taxation, and temporary suspension of tho
sinking fund payment, just paying the
interest on tho public debt and the expenses
of the government for OF least ten years to
oome." A change in the politics of our
country is barely possible if one may judge
from tho tone of conversation held by the
politicians who oongregate here from time
to timo, from every section of the country
A gentleman just from Chicago states he
conversed with ex-senator Lyman Trumbull
aud that he expressed his unqualified ap-
probation Of Hayes policy, and that he was
yery sure thst Trumbull would be one of
the leaders Of the Union party. Those who
laugh at the whole thing say that parties are
not made in day; and that it is the people
who make parties, and not the politicians.
This is the very argument that the movers
an this new department advance, viz. That
&he people are going to do this thing.
