North Carolina or something the PreSl-
dent was asserted to have said to Judge
Settle has attracted more attention here
than it deserved. The report was that
Mr.. Tilden would undoubtedly be the
next President by the action Of the Elec-
toral Commission. What he did say
was that with the passage OF the Elec-
toral bill, whether Gov. Hayes or Mr..
Tilden became President, the country
would In either case have peace.
COLONEL CARTER.
He Takes "A Roseate View of the EEec-
terai Prospects.
Washington Cor. Philadelphia Times.1
The most ingenious and comforting
view yet broached for the Democrats 10
that OF Colonel Garter, of New Orleans.
1t Is well to give 1t, IL for nothing else
than as curiosity In the results Of
searching for hidden motives. He says
that Justice Bradley has not decided
against the Democrats at all, the deci-
sion Of day applying only to Florida,
where there Is perfect fullness OF evil
dence on the face OF the certificates
opened by the President OF the Senate.
The vote to go no further than those
certificates was cast in full view OF the
fact that no further investigation was
"
occasion for going into intrinsic evil
dence he found Judge Bradley voting
with the Democrats; SO he thinks 1t
will be in the Louisiana case. There
Justice Bradley will consider that evil
denee outside OF certificates will be
necessary to reach the merits OF the
case. and he will then be found voting
to look into cases like the vernon par
ish and other returns bus 1ozed by
Wells and his clerks.

.How do tho Packard and also the
Nichols parties get funds to carry on
the State?"
"They don't get any. Nobody pays
taxes. The Packard people, in burst
OF confidence, have raised some money
by paying heavy shave. You know
there are street brokers there who will
take considerable chances. The Mich
oils government Is receiving q vol
untary advance Of five per cent OF
next years taxes as the nucleus OF an
exchequer. That Is about all in the way
of money matters. The State can ham
die its debt, but the city Of New Orleans
cannot carry its civic debt. The tax
collecting Is done by the county sherilfs,
and the collectors or deputies are almos
uniformly corrupt. The shuffling off OF

only weak point is his deputy, Herwig,
who Is keen, unscrupulous fellow. Our
policy, as Republicans. Is to disband, IL
| Packard is not sustained, and wait for
an early and inevitable split in the De-

FRANKLIN, IND, February 9.-R. t.
Taylor, late cashier of the First Ma
tienal Bank, returned to this place last
| night in an insane condition. lie says
that he has been absent six years that
during this time he had visited Clncin-
natl, Louisville, Chicago and Colorado.
He appears to be oblivious to the past.
| About 10 o'clock this morning he was
placed in buggy and conveyed to his
residence. During the day an affidavit
was filed before Justice OF the Peace,
and q warrant issued for his arrest. The
writ was served upon him this evening,
and Taylor was placed under guard at
| his residence.
When he was put into the buggy for
| the purpose Of going to his residence
he called for his traveling-bag. He was
asked by those present where 1t was,
when he replied that be left it in the
caboose, thus indicating that he came
back on one Of the night frelghts OF
the J. M. and 1. Railroad. 1t appears
that he has no money, and the supposl-
tion is that the money which he took
away was carried by him in the missing
travelling bag. The general impression
| Is that Taylor is the victim OF parties
who have used him for purpose. The
excitement over his return is equal to
that caused by his abscOnding.

The breach Of promise suit Of Mrs.
Oliver against Simon Cameron Is u ro-
nance, with financial objects in view.
It seems that some years ago, when this
female was in the Treasury. Simon
began paying her those delicate atten.
tions which statesmen are accustomed
to pay to female employees of the gov
eminent. Mrs. Oliver was sharp enough
to get Simon to write her certain little
billet. dour, couched in language that
would give the old man festive appear
ance, not in keeping with his years,
which would be accepted as meaning
something Of higher flavor than chops
and tomato sauce If read to an appre-
ciative jury Of middle-aged men in pos
session Of all their faculties. Subse-
quently Mrs. Oliver was mustered out
Of the Treasury Departme 1t, and report
hath it that Simon has been in the
habit OF honoring her small drafts in
financial way ever since, in memory OF
the fidelity with which she used to draw
on his venerable exchequer while she
was in the department. Latterly, say
the friends Of Simon, she has concluded
that she wants alimony or some ade'
quate provision for approaching ola age
