POLITICAL NOTES.


By, unanimous consent the Republican party Will
be allowed to live.
Tuesday election has convinced Boston that there
is mighty small part of these United States outside
OF Massachusetts.
The Adams squad of undertakers are dancing
around the Massachusetts, victory and shouting.
we did 1t" Ii is the first time they have assisted
at anything except funeral.
One good effect of tho elections is the increased
cheerfulness Of all sorts Of politicians. There is
CLEAN OF comfort for all of them from one quarter
or another. Even an of-Year has its good side.
This was fine year for cranberries in Ocean
County, n. j. Mr. Ephram Empson raised some
Is 900 bushels, worth 50 per bushel. Mr. Empson
was also elected State Senator.
1t took the XLyth Congress just twenty-four DAYS
to get 50 far along to discuss the Army AppGopra-
ton Bill The other subjects upoa which they were
convened ID legslate are not yet reached
The Hon. Hendrick B. Wright, Of Pennsylvania,
is not gifted with the ability to froth at the mouth
freely as Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, can. but
after all, Mr.. Wright manages TO make himself q
pretty peStllent sort OF denagOgue, In small way.
The Democrats arose in their might in caucus at
Washington, on Thursday evening, and sat upon
Blackburn. That eruptive but harmless person was
senced for the moment, but he will break out again
shortly. Like the rrepresslble advocate Of Womans

The election in this State doesn't seem to be quito
over yet. The election OF Lewis S. Payne Demo-
crat, over L. Il. Sanborn Republican, in the XXlXth
District, is now conceded making the Senate stand
eighteen Republicans, thirteen Democrats and one
Independent. The figures Of the Assembly remain
as stated yesterday.
1t is predicted by some of Senator Voorhees, Indi-
ana friends that the diguiied atmosphere the Sem
ate Chamber will tone down tho windy orator and
make him creditabe statesman. Perhaps this will
be the case, but to the unpreudced eye Of a distant
observer or Mr. NOorheess career II looks as snch
mOnstrOus transformation could be accomplished
only by a new birth.
The Republicans of Massachusetts, are already
quarTellng over what was mdorsed. Governor
Rice declares that it was the Southern policy and
not the Civil Service reform which has yet been
allowed to expose itself to the public view Where
upon Mr.. Bowles spits at the Governor, aud swears
that Massachusetts indOrsed every thing but Harlan
Summons Is probably the only man who really knows
what caS udorsed, and he won't tell, until advised
by Mr.. Deycns whether or no it would dlsaUange
the process OF dsestablIshment to dlvulge.
Amysterous person, at whom The Neu- Orleans Times
fires the doube-barrelled compliment Of being
distinguished Senator and one Of the clearest-
headed Senators in Congress-" is said to have writ
ten as follows to a friend in New-Orleans: 4" | am
on the Committee OH Privileges aud Elections, and
am in position to the developing plans of the
enemy They Will keep out SpOiiOrd If possible and
will seek to defeat Eusiis by preventing vote On
his case. We have some hope of seating Eusls-we
know that we can seat him If we can force vote
We determined that II SpO1ord cannot be seated,
Kellogg lever shall be-"
Governor Hendricks insists that he did not wish
to be sent to the Senate and would, condition,
have accepted an appointment. He shows this let
ter, written to Governor Williams on the
day Mr.. Voorhees, was appointed, as proof
of his assertions: understanding that you
you will now be considering the appointment TO I'll
the vacancy in the United States Senate Occasi0ned
by the death Of the Hon. o. T. Morton, / take the
liberty OF recommending for that position, the Hon
ID. w. voorhees,. | need not say that MI NO0rheeS
IS gentleman of much experience III pubic lie ana
of marked ability. That is well known 10 yourself
and to the people of the State generally. / tnnK
hIs appointment would be generally approved"
Mr.. Wendell Phillips says the question Of ndors-
ing the President had nothing to do with the result
in the Massachusetts, election The reelection ofGoy-
ernor Rice was due to Democratic discussions in
Boston. Why Mr. Phillips, the candidate of two
parties was able to accumulate only about 5000
votes in the whole State, he does not explain. He
thinks it is all up with the Republican party though,
for he tells reporter Of The Philadelphia Times that
" penusylyania's voice unmStakaby tOretells the
defeat and subugatiOn at no distant day, OF the en-
fire Republican party" and settles 1t that the
Solid South Will eventually rule the Union as III dld
before the war; He thinks shall have better times
negro and of the North are sacrificed, and unless
the South, in her madness, kicks over her own
bucket no man can f0resee the end Of THAI southern
dynasty winch must surely come"
