it seems that lew weeks ago one Of

cuded TO visit the above man of war ard
so notified the commander. To the as
tonishmento Of all the ships officers, he
arrived in full uniform, accompanied,
by three or four equally gorgeous subor-
dinates, the whole resembling brass
foun dry with the front door open. They
were received Hospitality and shown over
the vessel, but the Major maintained
throughout naughty and dissatisfied
air. Finally he relaxed sufficiently to
say, with chilling dignity:
81 have always understood, Comman-
der that when an officer Of high rank
visited United States vessel it is custo-
mary to d'e n salute"
THAT is the regulation, sir, Frem

changing a muscle, when Major Puliers
leaves the ship, YOU will please instruct

TIE life insurance companies are con-
siderably excited by tie death at Bing-
hawton, on Saturday last, of Colonel
Walton Dwigl t, who within three months
previously had succeeded in getting poll
cios in favor of his wife and son amount
ing to $253 GOO, and paid about s., 200 for
prem iums since. He was financially
embarrassed and it is thought could have
raised, only with the greatest difficulty,
the 3d. 600 to meet the premiums duo on
the next quarter. 1t is the theory in
somo insurance Offices that Dwight in.
tended, when he took out tho polio les, to

THERE is said to be but one railroad in
tho United States under Government
ownership, the Western and Ntlantic
which is owned by the State Of Georgia.
Is is 1877 miles long, and cost between five
and six million dollars, or over $4,000 II
mile. As long as tho State owned the
road it was an elephant on her hands, and
in 1870 the Legislature was glad to lease
Is to private company for $4,000 n
month during II term Of twenty years
These mcts are interesting in view of the
proposition offered in the Convention for
tho purchase and public management of
nll the roads in California, and also of the
generally forgotten resolution of the last
Legislature, declaring that the Govern
ment should own one .ranscontinontal
railroad.

PARTIES IN 1850. The Cincinnati En-
qaire' the leading Democratic journal

must virtually merge Itself in the Green
back party in the hope Of winning enough
votes West and Soath in 1850 to carry its
candidate into the White House. Aud
the New York Tjjnac, rcmarhing on
this. says:
There will be great many politicians
and journals Mt the West which win take
this view, and naturally; it is decidedly
the easiest for them. People who have
Bt0wn TO be great statesman by howlng
about the currency and the banks are not
the men to abandon those issues il they
can help it. 1t Is quite within the bounds
m possibility that the Democracy may
yet be compelled to merge itself in the
Greenback party. There will be ten
dency to something western. New York
has furnished Democratic candidates 10

be exposed for nearly twenty years. Til

Have a bad taste in The mouth. There re-
hfaihs the untirod possibility Of gaining
Western votes by appealing to Western
notions with Western candidate. il
Democracy decides to abolish itsclfor to
hide Itselfunder Grcenback matches, there

UNLESS some further explanation Is
vouchsafed, President Hayes has placed
iitiiself in very poeuliaranl uncuyiabio
position. IT appears that he gave to the
United States District Attorney Of In
diana instructions not to prosecute Carcw
Miller for alleged cmbczzlement in the
First National Bank Of indianapolis.
Tile United States Grand Jury appeared
before Judge Gresham, stating thnt they
had been asked to investigate the crime,
and inquiring whether Il would be THEN
duty to proceed with the case in view OF
tho instructions given bY the President
The Judge very properly told them that
Pr1sdont Hayes had nothing 70 do with
the Halter, that he might pardon after
conviction, but that he had as much
pewer to control their action in the ex-
animation Of the case RS would the Car
of Russia, and ordered item to coon with
the Investigation. Why such unwar-
ranted Liberty was taken by Prusi-
dent Hayes is something that the tele-

ward for the United States Senator from
Illinois as a third candidate against Ogles-

against him. II is also doubted if Grant
will allow his name to be used against
either. 1t is thought by some to be a
