The Corliss engine of the republican
party in the Senate is Edmunds. If he
represented great state instead of hav-

A gentleman residing in Louisville, KY.
who has spent the last three months in
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas, writes to
a friend in Troy: II hope to sec you ere
long. From what saw at the south | am
more republican than ever, if that be
possible. Surely it is a solid south, and
unless one is in full accord with them, life,
liberty and property are in great danger.
Conklng's last splendid effort was all
true, but he told not the half"
"Perley" thus describes the leading
democratic senator: Judge Thurman is
now in his sixty-sixth year, and has a
strong, massive frame, not overcovered
with flesh, surmounted with large, well
balanced head, with gray hair and full
whiskers; his expressive features are
furrowed by thought and care; his bright
eyes twinkle with humor, and he has
capacious mouth, with which he can make
himself heard good way off. He speaks
in Il practical, business-like way rs he
doubtless used to charge iuries when he

George w. Childs of Philadelphia de.
MES the report that Gen. Grant has au-
thorized any of his immediate friends to
say one word for him in regard to the
coming presidential contest. He has con-
suited none of his friends with regard to
the matter, and none of them have ven

ment looking to his nomination in 1880
has not been sanctioned or encouraged by
any of Gen. Grants representatives, who
are opposed to his entering the field again.
Mr.. Childs is sure the general prefers not
to be a candidate.
The Journal of Saturday published

Gov. Castor had arranged an alliance,
under which the former gentleman was to
stump for the latter for governor this fall,
and afterwards join the forces to send the

succeed Mr.. Dawes. A Traveller repre-
sentative inquired of General Butler what
truth there was in this rumor. 1.-The
story is incomplete" he replied; "the
Journal omits TO say that after Gov
Castor and myself had sat down and
arranged that little matter, we wrote it
out and sent it exclusively to the Journal
for publication"
A letter in the Charleston, S. c., NcwS
takes the ground that it is desirable that
the exodus of negroes should continue and
reach even to that state, in order that the
unproductive black man may be succeeded
by the enterprsng white, which the writer
AYERS will never happen so long rs an
inferior race remains in II numerical ma
jority. He says the negro must leave, or
the white man will never come to the
south. 1.-The white man must come or the
south will never be developed. We must
develop, or before another decade we will
simply be hewers of wood and drawers of
water for the rest of the Union"
