Notes and Notions.

BosToN Pilot: at won't do. Mr.. Blaine.
Though you advocate a thousand anti
Chinese bills, you can't be next President Of
the United States"
RuMoR says General Butler will open the
campaign for Governor Of Massachusetts, as
soon as Congress adjourns by giving the
democratic members of the legislature a
dinner.
LOUISVILLE Cowier-UJournai. "If Mr..
Blaine shall ever come to the conclusion
that the ensanguined garment ought TO be
washed, he certainly won't take IL 10
Chinese laundry"
GARRISON: "There is no true statesman
ship that does not include every race and
the whole of mankind in its sympathy, re-
gard for justice, love of liberty and the en-
joyment Of equal rights "
New York Sun: "That Senators should
relieve the tedium of all-night sessions with
whiskey until they become so silly that the
reporters must keep their speeches out of
the Congressional Record, is deplorable
thing"
A FULL recognition of the evils of the
Mongolian invasion of California and an ap-
proval of legitimate means of mitigating or
removing them are one thing; the proposal
to secure relief by disregarding treaty obi.
cations is quite another.
BY the census bill that passed the House
last week, the next census must be taken in
June, 1880; there are to be one hundred
and fifty supervisors nominated by the
President, who are to receive $500 each for
their services. Who speaks for a job and

GENERAL BUFFERS failure rs a political
prophet, az demonstrated last fall, has not
cured him of his habit of making wild pre-
dictions. He made the greenback conference
happy at Washington by assuring its mem
bers that Maine and Massachusetts, will be
carried by the greenback party next fall.
IN the last Harper's Weekly Mast makes
good hit against Blaine on the anti-Chnese
legislation. He represents the Senator as
holding in loving embrace a "gemman Of
color" who proffers vote;" while in the
background stands disconsolate Chinaman
whom Blaine is looking upon with derision,
and who asks the pertinent question, d" Am
not man and brother?"
THE Senate was the scene of tilt the
other day, between the warrior Burnside and
the dictator Conkling. The latter picked
the fuss and kept saying exasperating things
till Burnside became so completely riled that
he wished for the tongue of Blaine " that
he might fifty answer his opponents; as it
was he had to content himself with fatty
telling the New Yorker that he lied. 1t is
said that Conkling can say- the meauest
thing in the meanest way of any one in the
Senate. This tilt shows that Burnside has
a compeusating power of saying very plain
thing in a very blunt way.
A DISPATCH from New York says that
A. T. Stewards body was placed in the crypt
of his memorial cathedral at Garden City,
some days ago, and is now under guard
night and day. This does not mean that
the body has just been found; for it has
been for weeks perfectly well known in New
York that it was recovered within a few
days after its robbery, and has been in pos
session of Mrs. Stewart all the while that
the police and the papers we're keeping up
such a howl about traces" etc. The rob.
bers succeed in their object, receiving a
small fortune for the return of their extraor-
binary plumber.
