Political NOTES.

Mr.. Tilden suspects the party is trying to shake
of his grip again.
Mr. Burchard not only led the Democratic mule to
water, but he made him drink.
1t looks as if Mr. Stephens were a more persuasive
letter writer than Blr. Potter He scared his party
more, anyway.
Once more the country IS indebted to the Repub-
can party for forcing the Democratic party to give
bonds to keep the peace.
The Democrats ought TO have q chance to vote on
the resolution against the payment of Southern
claims before they adjourn. That would make
music.
The sympathy Of the whole country win go out
toward the venerable Montgomery Blair. His indie
fangabe Jaw after the ceaseess activity Of nearly
century. has been rudey dislOcated by his own
party
II was ably remarked IN Mr. Potter's famous let
ter that once upon a time there was gigantic game
in which the Democrats held the cards and the Re
pnblicans bluffed them. There seems to BIO an OPP
portunity just now for its repetition
New-York supplies three Of the fourteen Demo-
crafts who thirst for revolution, Bliss. Cox and May
ham. Mr.. Cox asked for time to 20 out, the other
day. in order to come to his senses, andhe shows now
how sorely he needed to have the request granted.
This state cannot have the cruelty TO refuse nm
and his two colleagues the necessary rest this all
There are conflicting reports about Anderson. One
saws that he has nothing more TO tell, and another
that bis most startling revelations are yet to come
Anderson himself declares that he has quantity OF
sbot In his locker yet" He Is probably right so
long as his inner consciousness remains active there
il no reason why the How Ot peuurles should not go
on forever
The agile Democratic editor who has been saying
openly that his party did not mean revolution unless
1 ,,I, 1nlr IN a M
is ponting TO the action of the House as proof that
the Republican charge Of revolution never had any
foundation He forgets that his party in the House
refused twice to say what 1t las said BOW, and that
il was only forced TO say Il at last because the Re
publican exposition OF IT'S designs had so aroused tne
pubc mind that further refusal would be political
suicide.
The irrepressible Toombs has sent wordto Alexan-
der stephens that Inc is with him to the last ex-
tremityD in his contest for a return to Congress.
Outside of Georgia Toombs's cooperation would be
n hindrance, rather than help but it will be de-
cided acquisition there, because there are few more
popular men in Georgia than this fery-tOngued and
rascible old Bourbon. A few days ago Mr.. Stephens
seemed TO need all the aid he could get, but the
action of the House Will be likely 10 quiet the
storm that has been growing IN ms district. hls
constituents will before election day comes
around that his vigorous protests were not the least
among the influences which restrained their party
from persisting IN fatal blunder.
Springer has returned from his Florida oxplora-
tions with a carload or two of astounding reyela-
tionsD which he is sure will demonstrate that the
State was carried for Tilden There are indica-
tions, however, that Sprngeris disappointed at the
result of his hun and that he really has discovered
nothing that has not already been given to the pub
lie. There was nothing in McLins confession more
startling than his repetition OF his former statement
that Manton Marble told him he would never be a
poor man If he gave the State 70 1llden. Minister
Moves was not smirched at all, and thus the chief
object of the expedition was not accomplished.
Springer will buster about for day or two, but
SpringeTs buster has long since ceased to be OF
any account.
