it is untrue, that the Republican par

even be elected but with that clear un-

A Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun says: The shrewdest politi-
clans here are inclined to the view that
the nominations will lie between Gen.
Grant and Senator Conkling. AS for
Mr.. Blaine, they think his day has
passed. The naughty demeanor OF
Senator Conkling and his a%ristocratic
ways are often the subject of hard
comment, but when the big fist comes
on, he energies the victor. A New
England Senator, who c%anvassed New
York with Mr.. Conkling a few years
ago, says "the people talk abontsConk-
ling being so stuck up, as it is called,
but in their hearts they like him all
the better for it, and they are just as
proud of his naughty manne as they
are of his magnificent presence and his

Tho Forthcoming Message.

In his forthcoming message the Pres
ident will make the alleged outrages
and violations Of law in the South du-
ring the late Congressional elections a
prominent topic of comment. These
will be condemned rs forcibly depress-
ing a large number of citizens in speci-
ted localities of the right conferred by
both National and State authority, thus
preventing results expressive of their
will IN the administration Of public af-
fairs. The subject will dc presented to
the consideration of Congress for such
action rs the circumstances demand.
Owing to the decision of the United
States Supreme Court that the enforce
ment was unconstitutional, itnot being
in specific accordance with the fifteenth
constitutional amendment and the fail
IRE of the House in the Forty-third
Congress to pass the Senate bill design
ed to meet the judgment of that tribu-
nal, there is no law to punish a class OF
cases affecting the colored men which
Ahe act was intended to reach. The
law relative to the election of members
of Congress, however, affords a remedy
for some Of the reported wrongs, inflic-
iting a fpe of $500 and imprisonment
tor one year on any person found gull
ty of Illegally prosecuting or obstruc-
ting the free exercise of voting, and q
fine of $6,Oee and Imprisonment for not

Who will be Governor of Maine is
still an interesting question. The
lower house of the Legislature, which
is Democratic, will nominate two can
didates, and the Senate, which is Re-
publican, will choose one of the two.
The Democrats long ago agreed that
the House should ignore the candidate
who received the largest vote at the
State election, and name the Green
back and Democratic candidates. This
piece of smartness has its answer i'll
the announcement that the RepuDll-
cans of the Senate willjsdivide their
vote in such a way as toEelect the
Greenbacker. Even so hard-hearted 4

a Postal Gard Travels Arc und the World
in III Days.

WASHINGTON, Nov. PA striking
illustration of the extent and excel
lenCe of the arguments for the lnter-
national mail service, which have re-
suited from the Postal Union, is given
in an official publication received by
our Superintendent Of foreign mails
from the Berne Central Bureau. A
a resident Of Chemitz, Saxony, mailed
at that place at Z p. nj. on the 24th of
May last a postal card addressed to
himself carrying a request to all post
masters to dispatch it successfully and
without loss of time to Alexandria,
Singapore, Yokahoma, San Francisco
and Now York and thence to Chem
nitz, his object being to win . wager
that with the existing postal arrange
ments the circuit of the world could
thus be made by postal matter within
one hundred and twenty days. The
request was complied with and the
card arrived in Chemitz on the 117th
day after the date of the original mail
ing. The Postmaster General Of Ger
many has caused this card to be photo
graphed and has transmitted a copy to
the Berne International Bureau with
the remark that had it been posted one
hour earlier it would have accomplish
the journey in ninety-six days instead
of one hundle and seventeen.

The burden of Scion Chase's speech is that
the purchasable power of bonds has been
greatly enhanced by the advance made to-
ward resumption Of specie payments, while
the prices of land, labor and products have
been reduced by the same cause Mr.. Chase
either does not study the market reports Of
the value of bonds, or else he willtuly mis-
represents upon that point. The resumption
act was passed in 1875. In that year the
highest price Of is of 1881, at the New York
Stock Exchange, was l26 Ia. They have
never been SO high since. They commenced
to fall that year, and have been declining in
price ever since, until at the present time
they are worth but l07 l-2 In 1876 they
fell to l24 Is, in 1877 to rs 81, and in
August of this year to l07 -. Relatively
to greenbacks or anything that greenbacks
will purchase. the purchasing power of these
bonds has fallen Is 81 per cent. since the re-
act was passed. And what is true
Of the It's Of 1881 Is true of other classes of
government bonds. They have shrunk IN
value as Mr.. Chase's steers. heller and butter;
hat is, they will not exchange for 50 many
yrccnbacks as they would in 1873. The
)ondho'der feels the shrinkagc as well as the
armer and laborer.
