General Cox will not bo candidate for re-
election to Congress.
The Illinois papers have very little or
nothing to say about the return Of Senator

NJ. l. Southland arc also named.-Ddyton Jour
nal.
GENERAL JIM srEEDNAS, Of Ohio, has the
advantage Of position In the Congressional
race now fairly commenced in the Seventh
District. Frank Hurd, however, will give

THE Bucyrus Journal calls upon tho several
Congressional committeeman to nominate
Charles Foster representative from the new
Eighth District without going through tho
formality of holding u convention.
SENATOR MORGAN. of Alabama, recently
made such an unproyokcd raid on tho Texas
fronticrsmen that II Is expected SenorZamacona
Will come out In card denying that Morgan,
Is Mexican Standardization Ners.
CONGRESSMAN FOSTER can get into safe
Republican district by moving across the street
OF his village. The Democratic gcrrymandcr
will make some lively carpet-bagging in Ohio
WHAT II General Grant should, after all
be-that is to say, what ii the Democracy per-
sists Ia making 1t necessary for Republicans
10 olect-in other words, suppose nobody will
| answer in lS5O bat Grant ?-DeHrcr Neus.
THE Burlington HdTkeye thinks "Mr.
Hayes ought to havo had the complaisant as
surlnces Of his Southern friends talked into
phonagraph. He could now wind up the ma
chine, set II in motion and listen rs the only
consolation left him."
lr is now said that General Joe Johnston
will have opposition in the Richmond Con-
gressional district, aud that among the as
pirants for ox-GOvernor Walkers succession
arc senator Quosenbcry, of Caroline, aud W.
+. Z. Gregory, of Richmond.
ALEcK STEPHENS, and Mills Of Texas arc
two reconstructed Southernors who show
there Is good stuff in them. They fairly put
to shame the crowd of Northern doughfaccs,
who wheel about and turn about" Just as
Tilden dirccts.-Syrdcass Daily Journal
THE original draft of the Potter Mexican
resolution was disgncefully msspellcd and
devoid of punctuation. As Mr.. Potter Is a
scholarly man, it follows that he did not wrto
the resolution. Perhaps one of our Finley's
country editor exports got it up.-Ciepstdnd
Herald.
A REPUBLICAN House, despite the fact that
eight members have been legislated out by
gerrynanders, Is looked upon as tho inevitable
| result Of the fall elections. The reliance of
General Grant on Providence and Democratic
blundcrs was something prophetic
City Journal Of Commerce.
WHEN the President first set out with his
Southern policy it was reasonable to not pre-
judice 1t by an expression OF adverse opinions.
But that time has passed. This policy Is a
failure, and the truth should be spoken. We
cannot too severely denounce Its further pur-
suit.-ttica Rcpubiicda.
SINCE an ex-editor from st. Louis has taken
charge of tho Democratic political conscience
at Washington, and Outshines the San ia that
mackcrel sort of splendcr referred to by John
Randolph, Western manners" have become
much in vogue, and the vugarism bounce" Is
now introduced In speaking OF tho probable
removal of President Hayes. Heaven save US
from reign of backwoods rudcness, uure-
deemed by either Yankee caltuah" or frank
and generous plantation ners."-Rich-
mOnd Va state.
