POLITICAL NOTES.

As a statesman, spofford is rather quasi.
Missing: The Republican who is not a stalwart.
Hill is willing TO let the dead past sleep awhile
now.
The more hint of another veto makes the Demo-
Gratis shudder.
Isn't it about time for fresh spasm of non-part-
san reform IN this city
A large exodus of liars Of all colors would be
good thing for LouIsiana-and for Spoford.
The Tiden Editorial Pap Bureau is at work, but
it is turning out feeble and watery article.
General Butler is said to have promised tO'take
the stump for Ewing IL is an open question whether
he or Ewing Will be more injured.
Once more the devoted Tiden editor ia wrenchne
his intellect to prove that the Innocent has back
bone. The exact size of the barrel is a more alb.
sOrbiug cOnundrum.
New-York politics haven't warmed up much yet.
One reason for the delay to be chat both par
ties are waiting to whether the Hon. Gideon
Tucker is going to make things quake again by run
ming for Governor.
It's queer world Here are the Deputy Demo-
cratic oraces declaring that David Davis has
ruined his Presidential chances by voting for the
Warner Silver bill Did they ever know him to vote
for any financial measure that wasn'C sOftf
A great deal has been said about the unftuess of
the Southern negroes for the rights of freemen on
account of their stupidity and ignorance yet we are
asked now to believe that Judge Spohord has been
fooled by them into making National spectacle Of
himself. If they are stupid, what Is the name OF
SpOfOrd's trouble
The only Democratic Congressman from Massa-
chusetts, Slr. Morse, has followed Fernando Woods
example and fled to Europe to get away from his
party. He made secret of his disgust, or of his
belief that his party had cut its own throat. That
chrome for the Democrat who Is really happy about
the condition of his party is still unclaimed.
1t is a significant fact that the most fero-
cOus soft-mOney organs in Ohio have taken
in their horns perceptibly since Ewing's nom
ination. They are obviously afraid to force the
Greenbacl issue into the forefront Of the canvass.
The hard-mOney Democratic journals are talking
about dropping the financial question altogether
They will have good time doing that. II won't be
dropped till election day, and then Il VIII TAIL with
the Democratic party undcrIt.
The swearing circus in Washington ought not to
break up till the pathetic appeal of the belligereDt

lous committee of investigation to do would be to
adjourn to the green form circle and let the
swearers go fur " one another TO their hearts con-
tent. III the committee wishes 10 keep up TO the
level of its previous performances, this Is about all
there Is left for it 10 do.
Evidences multiply that the German vote Of Ohio
will be cast almost solidly for Foster. The Editor
of a German newspaper in GAINESVILLE says if Ewing
makes the canvass as a sOft-mOney man lie VIII
neither vote for him nor support him in his journal
He must make the canvass a sOft-mOney man. or
else lose whole National vote which will not be
cast for him II he lodges that issue. Between the
Germans and the Nationals the Democrats are,
therefore, certain 10 to grief for what pcases

Jefferson Daviss speech before the Mississippi ed

anything of the kind but Mr. Dayis's meaning is
none the less clear, After saving that the women
of the South bad been the most rcSOlute during the
