POLITICAL NOTES.

Patterson prefers the Democratic party 10 the
penitentary, but both are liable to embrace him.
Perhaps the South may be found solid for the re-
pudiation of tho other fellows debt. This is nat
ural.
General Ewing will fail to harm the Resumption
Act, but he will do the country service Dy commit
ting his party against IL.
When the West throws forty-One votes in favor OF
resumption, and only thirty-nine against it, the
time seems 20 have arrived Tor the mutation delha-
gogues to shut up.
The Democrats want the votes of Patterson and
Conoyer. but they don't want the men themselves.
Perhaps the Republicans will be obging enough to
arrange a couple of "pairs" with Spencer and kc-
lOgg, when the latter Is admitted.
The enterprisng Democratic journalists who are
arranging for tine birth of soft-mOney newspaper
Mt the Capital have chosen the very nick Of time.
Their party stands irreyOcably committed 20 nHa-
ton and reputation, and u ought by All means 10
have an organ which shall faithfully represent II.
Perhaps General ~ C.. Butler has been trying
some Of his Hamburg tactics upon Patteron-has,
in short, been buldozng tins prosecuted patriot
Patterson is drcadfully scared about something, and
while il may be bulldozing tie chances are that 1t
is the spectacle of the mIecds ol lifetime totteI-
Ing down in one gigantic mass upon his head.
1t begins to be toleraby clear now what the solid
South means. The vote against the Resumption
Act shows how easily vote for more direct rcpudI-
alton might be obtained from the same section.
The Southern press is more and more clamorons
every dav for subsidies and other appropriations TOT
internal improvements so that reputation VIII be
able To 20 hand in hand with the emp wing OF the
Treasury. The outlook seems 10 be "a trllie squauy
Mr. 1ilden joins Mr.. WaterSon in ridicnlng the
idea of any break in the solid South. He says the
pretended oyations TO the President in the South
were all 4" humbug" and that the Southemers VIII
vote for none but a truc-jlooded Democrat, who
Will support them" As for the President, Mr. Tiden
tells Hcynld reporter that the Administration will
have no more than cOrporaPs guard TO support II
three wears hence, since the course o Mr hayes Is
chilling the fanaticsm IN The RopuDllCan party"
For the undoubtad cditicItiOn of Mr.. Hendricks
Mr. Tilden made the usual remark that he never lett
better in all his life.
General Toombs is on the stump in Georgia de-
lyering asiy-rockety speech in defence OF the new
constitution There is more rhetoric OF hc kind III
il than in any other speech ever delivered in tins
country. and there is the usual dose OF exaggerated
and false statements The only man who can come
anywhere near T0Ombs in this kind Of oratory Is
Wendell Phillips. The efforts of the two men bear
. emorLable resemblance. TOOmbs is especially
severe on Tom scott because he asked for an army of
100 600 men, Instead of giving him his 100000
soldiers ycls Toombs, . they ought to give MN
ronr lie Ought to be hungw The audience ap-
ulaudod this sentiment. Is this the way IL show
rratitudc to the father OF the Texas Pacific
subsidy
