structed bis financial system, from the basemsnt
up. he stands very distinctly pledged to veto.
POLITICAL NOTES.

One thing the Senate vote secures enough of il
National humiliation.
Shall Congress be allowed to make this Nation
OF stupid 1O-per-cent swindlersf
Presidential party which could control two
votes would not be a cause for popular grief.
The Democratic chase for /" fraud has ended AZ
usual, around hole in that partys own dominions.
That predicted rise of the value of silver up to
the gold level is not liable to come of before day
after tomorrow.
There doesn't seem to be any necessity for waste
of Republican ammunition ON the Southern policy
Ii is speaking for itself.
This years stock of domestic Awful Disclosuresin in
regard to the Electoral Count seems TO be carelesslv
manufactured. and very generally unstable.
If the Mrs r. B. Hayes Temperance Society would
sit up with tho Senate at its next night session.
there would not be so brisk demand for soda cock
tails in the morning.
Judge Whitaker feels very sorry for Anderson.
and almost hopes Governor Nichols will pardon him
This is generous; but who will pardon Whitaker
when Justice gets after hlmf
The rumOr comes from New-Oreans that some.
thing is liable to happen which will not only free
Anderson from sentence but will stop all the other
prosecutions. Perhaps the Democratic leaders are
discovering the dOuble-back-actiOn effect of the
whole movement.
Pennsylvania does not vote for Governor until
next November, while New-Hampshire votes next
month, and yet there is great deal more loud pot-
cal talk TO the acre in the keystone than in the
Granite State The Quakers will be liable to suffer
from the heat next Summer.
Senator Jones is particularly eloquent about keep
ing all the grecnbacks in circulation for the benefit
of the laboring man. He says the bootblacks are
looking for q chance to get hold of of them TO
redeem. Ii Jones' Bland & Co. have their way, it
won't be many years before IT will take greenback
to pay bootbiack for tho current 5-cent " shine"
Simmons is said to be sitting on the ragged edge
Of uncertainty Tho two interviews with the Pres
ident resulted in nothing comforting than the
assurance that his reappontment was still an unset
tied question. The principal influences in favor of
the Collector are said to be OF Methodist nature"
but Simmons seems to think judiciOus mixture Of
worldly elements would make the outlook more
cheerful
The silver advocates have the news that two men,
bers Of the Cabinet, Thompson and McCrary are in
favor of silver. and they think this will help the
President to make up his mind that it will not bs
wise or patriotic for him to nterpose veto against
so popular measure. 1t is impossible for the silver
agitator TO comprehend that measure may be pop
ular, and at the same time be wrong.
Even the New Orleans Bourbons are forced to adj
init that there was something out OF the way in An.
dersons conviction so far the two cOOred jurors
were concerned. They admit that one of them is
obviously under the legal age, and that neither has
the intelligence TO know what the verdict meant.
OF course this was plain when they were put on
the Jury az it is now, bat perhaps the Court agreed
was good enough to sit IN Judgment on such Dad
men.
