National party Of little or no account in bis State.
He says the Republicans expect 10 elect six ont Of
the eight Congressman this Fall and carry the State
without difficulty. The Nationals have swallowed
the Democratic party so completely that there are
really only two parties in the field and Of these the
Republican is clearly much the stronger These
facts are patent to outside observer that
the Governors sanguine expectations appear 70 be
ti0n Mr.. Washburn was not anxious TO express him
self, when reporter of The CtHciHnqh tRquirer
asked him the inevitable question. lie admitted
that the movement was very strong one.
Another Of Banninq's constituency has returned
from his sojourn the pententiary. He has served
out his fun sentence, however, and does not owe
his freedom TO the softness of the Presidents heart
He says he is one of gang Of six men who voted
four times apiece within three hours each time for
Banning At one polling place they were obliged to
get up sham fight in order to slip their votes IN
without detection He received for his share in the
work $50, which he understood came from BAN
ming. It is pleasant In the light OF testimony like
this to read that Banning y still giving his noble
mind to the work of army reform. though his efforts
to stuff some more bal0t-b0XeS this FAN distract
his attention somewhat.
Congressman Fosters faith in Cancellation seems
to have been hOpelessly shaken. In his speech ae-
eeptng a denomination. he said he had favored the
Presidents Southern policy, but the South had not
kept its promise. united South must be opposed
by a united North because the success Of the former
meant the payment of rebel claims, pay for emanci
pated slaves, and payment of pensions to rebel sol
diers There could be no peace until the menace OF
a solid South is withdrawn This confession Of dis
appointment by one of the Presidents few support
ers leaves the Administration almost with0ut de-
fender either in Congress out. Yet ON the very
day that Mr.. Foster said this the President was
assuring correspondent that he regarded POstmas-
ter-GeneTal Key as :" true representative OF the
Union sentiment of the South" He may be, bus If
Mr. Foster is right no is representative" OF an
exceedingly small constituency.

Mr. Tilden begins to suspect that his fraud

Butler and Kearney represent admirably the two
wings OF the Nationals. Both want to embrace, but
each is afraid the other viii choke him.
Mr. WattersOn denies the report that he is a cam

not the "remotcst idea Of changing his present line
of business This is good news. journalism needs
him vast deal more than the Senate does.
Assistant Postmastor-General Tyner tried, while
i'm Paris, to ascertain from General Grant himself
whether he was a candidate for third term The
most direct answer he could get was this :" was
heartily tired of public life, and have no desire to
enter again upon IT,"
Senator Jones gives strong confirmation of what
was well known before that President Hayes
merely followed out his predecessors policy in re-
moving the troops from the Southern States. When
asked about the Administrations Southern policy,
Mr. Jones said The election Of President Hayes

meditated rascality. IL persons whose
tastes and associations ought to dispose
them to be virtuous so often turn out
robbers, we may well ask ourselves whether
there is not something in the spirit OF modern
society that either drives them into dishonest
courses or at least destroys the moral safe
guards which keep man pure and upright.
We have made money the criterion OF re-
speetability, the basis Of social position, the
badge of honor. We have taught our young
men to pursue wealth as the highest earthly
good, and to dread the loss of it as the worst
of evils. A bold and sordid materialism dis
tinguishes our whole life, corrupts our COM
mercial morals, degrades our politics, debases
our society, undeFmines the influence OF the
pulpit So the whole community Is IN per-
petual conspiracy to lure men to destruction,
doubling the temptations to peculation, weak
ening the conscience, and destroying the spir-
itual forces with which alone the good light
can be fought. If cases like the defaleatiOn
of Mr.. Conant are common, it is because they
spring from the sins of a whole people.

however, one of Mr.. Glover's witnesses takes
forty millions of people into his conf
dence, and the veil is raised. We are
admitted into the inner sanctuary OF the
Committee, which turns out to be, not the
cOmmittee-rOom, but Mr.. GlOvers private ana
particular bedroom. Here we find the mighty
and transeendental Wilcox, who now gives
his whole intellect to this work. This part OF
our correspondence letter is interesting IN the
extreme. The elairvoyant method OF examn-
ing witnesses can hardly fail to come INTO
vogue at Washington, after this disclosure. IL
permits the examiner undisturbed repose.
while it lays bare even the thoughts OF the
witness. 1t raises session of Demo-
cratic Committee to the dignity of a spiritu-
alst "s6ance,n and it may be that " the bed
"Of the Committee will take its place IN
history with the "bed of justice" There are
other features of this story quite as striking.
Mr.. Glover's way, as this writer alleges, OF
allowing witnesses to " write up" hundred
or two pages of testimony at home; his JOY
at finding something that was hard on Bris-
" tow .; his refusal to pay this witness until
he got the testimony he wanted; the attempt
of his chief ally in the Committee to retain
document whose return the Committee had
formally promised; the periodical reappear-
ance, in the story, like the comic cOuntryman
in the play, of the member who was sat
"uFated with malaria n--these are some OF
the good points. Altogether the story makes
interesting reading, even for Mr.. Glover.

months ending June 80, is an exceedingly

About this time. when travelling dramatic and
musical companies are getting ready for the opening
OF the Autumn season, look out for flaming bulie-
tins from the watering-plaees, announcing the I'M
paralleied triumphs of the fascinating young Ameri-
can tragedenne, Miss Crummles, in recherche
recital at the Nantucket Athen@um; OF the cos
tune concert of the celebrated Colorado
prima donna, Miss Euphemia Gulch, in
the grand dininR-rOOm Of the CosInopol-
itan Hotel. at Rochaway Beach. kilograms, pre-
paid and unsigned, preoipitate such astounding
intelligence upon the newspapers with lavish
disregard of expense, all the more striking when 1t
is remembered that the newspapers gen.
orally drop the dispatches into the cavern
Gus basket that always yawns under the
table. Sometimes an artist Of genuine rank is the
subject of these illegtimate advertising operations
which certainly do no good and we rather think do
mischief to those whom they are intended to bene-
fit. Here is a specimen telegram, emanating from
the maladroit agent Of a singer for whom we have
so much respect that we shall suppress her name !:
1.-THE greatest musical and social event
that ever took place in this part of the country Oe
Cured to-day in -, with the arrival -of -,
the ilustrious prima donna, who has created 30
much sensation of late in all parts of the
country where she has visited, and also the
coming Of his Excellency Alexander ii. Rice,
Governor of Massachusetts,. Madame - and the
Governor have been each assigned luxu-
rious suite of rooms IN the - House, by Mr..
-, the present proprietor The hotel and ball
room have been splendidly decorated in their
honor" And then follows reckless and coruscat-
ing report of the inevitable concert the ovations'
tho social attentions by the elite Of all the con-
tinent, the going TO church, where the
Governor prayed and the prima donna
sang anthems-alI leaving us in doubt whether the
prima donna was in attendance on the Governor, or
tho Governor on the prima donna, and all set of
with such display Of heated adiectives that the
wires must have scintuated as the message rushed
along Who can it be that sends these dispatches
We cannot imagine.

Beaconsfeld treaties. was held in connection with
the establishment in that borough of the " Brming
ham system of political organization. Mr..
Gladstone praised this plan so cordially
that one might he excused for suppOslng
It something extremely nice. But it is only
the much abused American system of " caueuses ,

Mr.. MONTGOMERY Blair informs correspOn-
dent that he conferred great boon upon the
Democracy by pressing the "fraud" investi-
CATION. That the Democracy is so shOckingly
ungrateful as not to agree with Mr.. Blair
simply proves, of course, that the party never
does know when it is well of.
General Butler was lately suspected of try
ing to get "evidence" on which the President
might be impeached. Mr.. Springer, being a
less cautious person, now lets his jaw fly and
says the President must be impeached. The
mission of the Potter Committee being to con-
sOIidate the Republican party, this motion Is
strictly in order and altogether timely.
The release of one noted Fenian prisoner
and the likelihood of general pardon for the
rest, taIlies significantly with the votes of sew
enteen Home Rulers in the majority which
rejected Lord HartingtoI.'s resolution on Fri
day last. The Government evidently deemed
the support of these eleyenth-hour converts
entitled to some recognition.
II was generally supposed that Mr.. Hewitts
Committee was appointed because working
men couldn't get enough to do. but 1t seems
from the testimony of nearly all the witnesses
that they have too much to do. The presi-
dent of the Congress of Humanity, for in
stance, thinks that nobody ought to work
longer than four hours day. Probably these
are the only refOrmers in the world who
practise even more than they preach.
II is noticeable that Postmaster General Key,
who certainly is not unwilling to see an In
dependent Democratic movement in the South,
declares that theTecent election IN Memphis had
only local significance. The result Of that
election has been interpreted as a sign OF
change. but Mr.. Key thinks its only
possible connection with National politics was
in the way of an Endorsement Of the appoint
ments Of the Administration ID that region.
The complimentary terms in which Lord
BeacOnsfeld cited the testimony of American
missionaries as to the progress of education
and religious liberty IN Turkey, form a graft
flying tribute to the jealous laborers who have
devoted years to preaching the gospel in Ar
Inenia, ROumelia and Bulgaria. Their interest
in the welfare Of the diverse races enables
them to speak impartiallY. and Lord BeacOns-
field was safe in his quotation, whatever may
be said Of the argument which it was used to
support.
With the Fesaits--Or rather, the lack Of re-
sults--of Mr.. GlOver's investigations, the pub
lie is ALREADY familiar. But what his pro-
cesses were, by what mysterious means these
pfeposterons effects were produccd--all this has
been hidden from the general eye. To-day,
