POLITICAL NOTES.

Ras"It is well known that the rebels
put down the rebellion, but not gen.
orally suspected that they liberated the
slaves too.
Esiyn The South wishes it to be under
stood that it proposes to name the next
Speaker of the House of Representa-.
tives-that is, we suppose, if the Dem.
ocrats obtain possession of IT,
Bas"f it is the "fiat'' of the Govern.
ment that imparts value to its money,
why is it that pound of coin gold In
bars is worth just about the same as a
pound of the same metal after it is
coinedP What is the matter of the fiat
in that case? -Burltngton Hawkeye.
Bag@ The Democrats are satisfied that
Gen. Grant does not want and will not
be candidate for another presidential
term, and still they are very nervous
lest it may be so, after all. They fear
that the people may have some con-
trolling voice on that question. Nd
tiOna! Republican.
pss~Mr. Sherman's policy in the
Treasury has been uncommonlv sara
cious and firm. His courage and de-
termination are doing very much to
restore public confidence in the future.
and he deserves the vigorous support
of all who desire to see the new era of
prosperity begin.-N Y Herald.
Ras~The firm of Il. NJ. Bishop & Co.

nati-failed yesterday. The head of
the establishment is the present
Governor of Ohio. Too much Demo-
cratic politics will ruin grocery store
in Cincinnati as well as a bank in Kan
sas City.-.St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Rs5"It would be the height of inius-
tice to the memory of our dead soldiers
and to the pensioned wards of the
nation, if we should think for one mo-
ment OF ever enrolling upon the PEN
sion lists of the country the names of
dead and crippled traitors alongside
those of our patriot defenders. - TrOy
TimeS-Republican.
BsS~Just wait, boys! We will have
everything our own way after 1881.
The Radical amendments will he torn
out of the Constitution by the roots,
and the several States of the Union
will again become free, sovereign and
Independent. just wait! Southern
ideas are bound to control this country
yet Obdlona (MiSs.) State.
BT~A for us, we say this: "People
of Edgefield, watch this thing narrowly,
ceaselessly, jealously, and if you dis
cover any ring, or any fellow trying to
work this game, seize them and hang
them. Do not be satisfied with abusing
and ostracising them, but seize them
and hang them. In Edgefeld let us
have no more of the negro in politics. -
-Edgefeld IS. CO. AdUertiSer.
BaS~William H. Pinn, colored, has
announced himself rs an independent
conservative candidate for Congress in
the First District of Virginia. Pinn was
one of the colored men who made con
servative speeches there during the
about as much c6ance" of being elected iItaateda
as Tilden does of getting into the White
House.
Day~Ex-Gov. Warmoth declares that
jeff Davis recent speech will be the
Democratic basis of action in the South
this year. He says the Democrats will
nominate Confederate officers for mos
of the civil stations. This has already
been done in Texas, and there is ample
} confirmation of the Governors state
J ment in other States. The "by-gones'
} are returning to the front. t.-NeW Yorl
} Tribune.
BY~The Republicans of Maine ar,
bold and aggressive, and their plat
form, as adopted at the late convention
! is nodded with no uncertain, meaning
less phrases, but has an honest rims
that will commend it 10 all intelligen
and patriotic men. The Maine Repub
licans are right. The Republican party
is not on the defensive; but, conscious
of the right, its campaign policy mus
and shall be vigorous and aggressive

B~The protection of the natiol
q from the imposition not only of rebe
. claims for damages by war, but of tn
, Confederate States war debts, and o
, the payment of the slaves, depends ol
