POLITICAL NOTES.

Turn them loose.
BSE The whole aim of the Democratic
press is TO bulldoze the Northern pco-
pie into surrender TO the followers of
the late Confoderacy, for fear the latter
will continue TO act ugly.
Bar THE Democratic members of
Congress pride themselves much on
having a powerful scent for fraud; new
ertheless, they took mighty good care
TO keep Cronin's nose out of the Potter
investigation.
Rss~ Ir is agreed all around that Mrs
jerks is the smartest fellow who has
yet had anything to do with the Potter
investigation. She has smothered An
derson, squelched Springer, chased But
Ter up tree, and as for Potter, she has
doubled him all up in one corner of the
committee-room.
Bay- THE Cincinnati Enquirer in
quires if this " cheering for Gen. Grant
cannot be stopped" The same follows
who are making complaint about
Grants noise now, stopped in 1865 by
stacking their arms and agreeing to
submit TO the Constitution and abide by
the laws of the land. They might do IL
again in the same way. The people in

county clubs, acting, doubtless, on sug-
gestions from higher management, have
resolved that they will permit no

This is a gentle intimation that free

Bayn JOHN SHERMAN's explanation of
his failure to deny point blank having
written the famous letter is both sensi-
BILE and reasonable. No man, says Mr..
Sherman, could, in the face of the as
sertions that the original letter and n
photograph of it would be produced
and without knowledge of the testimony
of Anderson-no man under such CIR
cumstances, if called upon suddenly to
deny ever having written such letter,
would have done so in any more en-
phatic manner than did the Secretary
himself. He simply said, as any rea-

B6n TINE was when the idea of the
South seeking payment for slaves
emancipated by the war, would have
been secuted at as the very height of
impudence. But now that the De-
mocracy has had control of the House
for three years only, that idea is seri-
ously discussed by such leading Demo-

ton was a "robbery of an impover-
ished people" This suggestion is by
no means new one in Georgia, where
certified invoices of slave property are
recorded in the archives of nearly every
county in the State
