Seriously OF senator Edmunds.

A good many Republicans are beginning to talk
quite seriously Of Senator Edmunds, Of Vermont
In connection with the next Presidency. This
would be truly first-class nOminRtOn-alInost too
good, perhaps, to command success. Mr. Eimunds
now that Mr. Morton Is dead Is without doubt the

A Little Grant Gathering.

Correspondence Springfield Republican,
The politicians have been gathering for few
days past at Hampton Beach, In New Hampshire,
where General NOyes, of Ohio, Governor Prescott.
William L. Chandler, and other men OF the Hayes
and anti Hayes wings Of the Republican party have
assembled. Judge Tan, Of Cincinnati, who has
been spending some weeks In New England went
down TO Hampton today. II Is quite probable that
the project Of bringing Grant forward In 1850 will
be talked over In this gathering with view to pos
sible action In the coming conventions of Maine
and New Hampshire. In the latter State, for the
irst time, Congiessmen and Governor are this year
TO be elected In November; and though this change
Of election from March to November takes away
much Of the Importance that has attached 10 the New
Hampshire campaigns, there Is still something TO
be gained by starting right in that little State.

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

The New York Times, in referring to the
late appointment of ex-Judge LEvIssEE, of
Louisiana, to the position of revenue agent,
ticular juncture will be set down by ILL.,
natured people to sense of satisfaction
with his recent testimony before the POT-
TER committee rather than to any percep-
ton of his special fitness for the Office to
(which he has been appointed"
We think, if the Times was little more
thoughtful it would recollect that the claims
of Judge LEvIssEE for recognition" bear
date anterior to the giving of his testimony
before the POTTER committee or even the
HOWE committee. 1t may, in this peculiar
age Of short memories and crooked dealing,
be claim of recognition" and reward if q
witness does not contradict and stultify
himself in giving his testimony twice with
in eighteen months, and each time before q
different tribunal, And it may be that the
proportions to betray his party may lay the
Administration under u tribute of gratitude,
but we feel assured that none of those
things in any degree prompted the "recog-
milton" just received by Judge LEvTssEE.
The claim, if any has been preferred,
dates beyond the election of President
HAYES and to that troublous period in 1876
when the Republican party was using its
best energies and efforts to secure that end
We venture the opinion, and we think we
know whereof we speak, that but for the
personal efforts of Judge LEvIssEE in the
fourth Congressional district. the State of
Louisiana would not have been counted for
Mr.. HAYES, and without it he could not
have been elected. By his efforts in rally
ing the colored vote, and in encouraging the
cOlored voter to stand by that party which
brought emancipation to his race he secured
Republican majority on the electoral
ticket which saved the State to the Rcpub-
lican cause. This fact was known to the
President when he was declared elected
and hence the surprise at the tardy "recog,
milton and its feeble character when il
came. Upon the principle of merit and re-
ward, Judge LEvIssEE was entitled to q
much earlier and much more emphatic
recognition than has come to him at thi,
late day. But when one is fishing he must
bde his time for bite, and gratefully accept
such fish us comes to his hook.

General NJ. c, BUTLER, the hero of the
Hamburg massacre, and the occupant of a
seat in the United States Senate which just

speech at Stoneands, Edgctield County, $.

this effort by in silence, 1t says:

that, while, theoretically, this is not white

den and astonishing surrender Of Presi-
dent MacMahon to the Republicans il
the French Assembly was caused by a
peremptory menace from the great Ger
man Chancellor, Prince Bismarck. The
credit of the surrender had been given
to the Constitutional Bourbon Senators
who refused to assent to second dis
solution of the Legislature But the
London authority in question asserts
that Bismarck sent frequent diplomatic
warnings to MacMahon which caused
his strange gyrations, and that when at
last the Marshal had fully determined
to make an ass of himself by means of
a coup d'etat, Bismarck sent him one of
his short and stout notes that woke
him up in interest The tenor Of this
note of course must have been threat
of war, for MacMahon's whole policy
was Uitramontane, and was, therefore,
hostile both TO Italy and Germany.
Bismarck's position in favor of the Re-
publicans has been undisguised and
was so in the time when Theirs led
them. Strange to say Bismarck claims
to be Republican himself, but says
that republic is impossible in Ger
many. France appears to have the
great distinction of being regarded as
able to maintain republicanism in Eu-
rope permanently. If the above state
ments be reliable, the Monarchy in
France is finally disposed of and the
republic is fully sustained by the great

Meeting of the Commissioners of the Elk
ton and MiddletOwn Railroad.

The commissioners of the Elkton
and Middletown railroad held a meet
ing on Friday of last week at the
National Farmers md Planters Bank
for the purpose of taking action look
ing to the opening Of the subscription
books to the stock Of the road.
The commissioners as appointed by
the act of the legislature of 1879 APP
proved March 25th are Jacob Tome,
II. H. Brady, W. }. Jones, Thomas
Whitteridge, B. II. Latrobe, w. J.
Hooper, Thomas kelso, Enoch Pratt
and Thomas Donaldson. The latter
gentleman has since died.
Messrs. Tome, Brady, Jones, Pratt
and Whitteridge We're present, Messrs.
Latrobe, Hooper and kelSo being I'M
able to attend The meeting organized
by electing Mr. Pratt chairman and Mr.
Jones secretary. A resolution was
passed that the books for subscription
to the stock Of the company be opened
at Elkton and Baltimore on the 4th of
February.
a committee was appointed to lay
before the Cecil county legislators the
plans of the road, and interest them in
securing under the usual conditions
the State subscription Of gas, 600 sub
scribed in 1860. to the stock of the
Elkton and Massey road, which was
never used, the latter road having
ceased to exist
TlA money referred to was portion
of the subscription Of one million dol
lars made by the State of Maryland to
the Eastern Shore railroads in 1860,
and the whole AMOUNT has been drawn
out Of the treasury by he roads for
which it was subscribed. excepting the
share of the EIkton and Massey road,
which remains in the treasury for the
reason named.
The money of the State is only
available oh the Subscription by private
individuals OF like amount The
books of the company will be opened
in Baltimore, at the Corn and Flour
Exchange, on the day named.
The proposed road is to be built from
Middletown to ElktGn, connecting with
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore railroad, thus bringing the entire
section of the country within easy COM
munica,ion with Baltimore. Several
weeks ago the Cora and Flour Ex-
change passed resolution asking the
commissioners to push the matter.
The road will be twelve miles in
length, and is expected to cost from
$3.50, 900 to SlS0,cUO
There is no reason why the above
mentioned enterprise should not be
pushed to successful termination, and
it is to be hoped thSa the capitalists of
Baltimore aud the fruit growers Of the
Peninsula will subscribe literally for the
stock of the proposed road The books
viii be opened on Monday next at the
National Bank in Elkt0n.
