| The "candid opinion" of the New
York Star is that an effort on the part of
Mr.. Tilden to obtain second nomination
for the Presidency would hopelessly di-
vide the Democratic party. But it must
be remembered that Mr.. John Kelly is
one of the owners of the Star, and that
Mr.. Kelly is rabidly anti-Tilden.
The Washington Republican is re-
sponsible for the statement that Repub-
lican leaders fifteen years age favored the
pensioning of Confederate cripples, and
General Grant heartily approved the
plan. The Republican wishes to "whoop
up" the solid South for Grant. May we
not ask our Washington contemporary,
"What are you giving us?"
At q Republican mass meeting at
San Francisco, Tuesday night, the senti-
ments endorsed were that while crediting

in California, and the party declined re-

= A venerable darkey carrying a small
satchel took his stand at the head of the
market on Saturday night. His sign
board consisted of an illuminated dry
goods box which bore the inscription,
"Let us save the Azor," and his stock in
trade consisted of lot of framed and
unframed photographs of the noted bark.
1t is supposed that the exodites are trying
to raise the wind in this way so as to en-
able them to haul the bark off the legal
lee shore upon which she is now stranded.
Business was not brisk.-Neacs and Cou-
rier.
- The store of Charles K. Walton, at
Yanceyville. Louisa County, Va, was
burned Sunday, the proprietor perishing
in the flames. The people attracted to
the scene were deferred from rendering
assistance by the knowledge that powder
was kept in the store. When it exploded
one side of the house was blown out.
Walton's body was found minus legs,
arms and head, which had been blown
of. It is believed that Walton was MUIR
dered for the money he had in the store,
and the building then fired. Much ex-
citement prevails. Walton was popu-
lar young man, and belonged to one Of
the most respected families in the county.

the Forty-sixth Congress will be brief,
and mainly confined to the objects for
which the extra session is called. He
will, however, ask for an appropriation to
supply deficiency of twenty-eight mil
lion dollars lost by reduction of the
tobacco tax. In regard to the probability
of the Democrats insisting on repeal of
the test oath and supervisor Of election
laws as o condition of granting supplies,
Mr.. Hayes says he has not yet seen the
programme, and therefore could not pass
an opinion upon it, but he could not be-
lieve, in the absence of information, that
any revolutionary movements were con-
templated.
- Mrs. Ann Eliza Young has written
long letter to Mrs. Hayes on the SUBJ
ect Of polygamy, which closes as follows !:
"Polygamy desolates every home which
it enters. Surely it will neither be i'm
proper nor unwise for you to exert your
influence against that vast and increasing
crime. 1t is opposed to all that you
prize in domestic and social life; it
makes the civilized, Christian home i'm
possible. Even if you can only do but
little-though you can only speak words
of sympathy, such words will speedily be
waited westward to thousands of aching
hearts; and will be refreshing as the dew
Of morning to many weeping Hagar,
wandering in worse than desert lands"
