POLITICAL NOTES.

There is an opening now for some liveliness from
General Butler.
Davis and Glover arc at once the livest and dead
est things in politics at present.
The pressing interests of Reform by fraud will
prevent Mr.. Tilden from going abroad this year.
Mr. Dorsheimers friends pretend that he is can
ddate for Governor, but he knows what a hollow
hope it's.
II Moses would employ some one to remove the
polysylabic earmarks from his Tilden effuslons,
they would be more elective.
There is a rumor that Proctor KnotHs address has
been secured as pedestal for the statue of Liberty
in New-York Harbor Time and tide would beat it
in vain.
The Democrats are shouting that GloyeTs report
has taken the roof off the Treasury. If it had the
whole Democratic party would be hurrying with
ladders to climb III.
The new old mastOdon unearthed mp at Newburg
had an upper jaw nearly four feet long. With such
jaw rs that Beck might have explained the reason
for the extra session.
1t might be wise investment for the Republi-
cans of ONO to hire Senator Hill to climb on the
stump for Ewing and tell the Buckeye voter what
he knows about epochs.
The sooner the New-YOrk Democrats make up
their minds to renominate Governor Robinson the
peasanter will it be for them. Mr.. Tilden declares
getting his " twist ready to secure IT,.
Hendricks eutertains very low opinion of Til
den, TiIden entertans a very low opinion of Hen
bricks and the people at large are in full in sympa-
theic accord with these particular opinions OF botb
statesmen.
Now that G0ver's report is off his hands il is well
to recall the confidential remark which he made to
a correspondent of a Republican newspaper last
Winter whom he mstook for a Democrat: " It's
all right now. for have cut out all the parts dam
aging TO Democrats Or course That left nothing
but wind In the report.
Panhandle Davis has discovered that wicked
Republicans have stolen a matter Of S24S, 100000
in addition to the odd hundreds of millions which
Glover hooked up, or rather failed to hook up be-
cause they were not in the Treasury where they be-
longcd. Davis wanted to make ms " ma an even
quarter of billion, but be cCudnt tell he Tor 80
paltry an amount as q couple OF millions OF dollars.
tits impossible to find an Ohio Republican who
isn't sure that Foster Will be elected by handsome
majority. The lowest estimate of the SIZE of the
majority is 10000 aud the highest runs up to 80
600. One reason for this faith is said to be the
assurance that a full vote will be polled. for full
vote IN ONO always means n Republican victory;
The larger the majority the better, and there should
be no falling OF III zeal through fear OF making IL
too large
A large poster announcing grand reunion of
Confederate soldiers at Montgomery, Alabama, on
July Fourth, contained the Information that
General George B. Mcclellan. General Thomas
Ewing. and General w. :. Hancock, together with
ex-Prcsdent Jefferson Davis, General Longstreet
and Others had been invited and were "cOnidcntly
expected to he present. None of the distinguished
Northern guests came up to the &" confident ex-
pectatIOns.O The idea of Ewing or any other
Northern Democratic Presidential aspirants turning
up at a Confederate reunion at this time ~ I'M
IN funny know
The Maine Democrats were silly CROUCH to start
4 report that Mr.. Davis, tho Republican candidate
for Governor, had been pretending to have record
as a soldier, when in fact he detailed as clerk
in Washington and never went to the front at all.
The report has been exploded by the captain of the
company in which Mr.. Davis served, who declares
that he IF the brayest and coolest soldiers
In his company, and did most valuable service in
the battles about Petersburg. The Democrats VIII
never learn 10 " let the war alone" Every time
they STIR up its records they help the Republican
party.
Senator Conkling has the credit of suggesting a
new Republican Presidential candidate. According
to correspondent of TIE CIer5idHd Ledisr. Mr.. COn
Ing, while dining with several intimate Senatorial
friends just before adjournment, stated that it
began to look as if there would be such heated
contest for the nomination that General Grant
would not be a candidate. He then asked his
friends to name n man VINO could poll the entire
vote of the party, and not cause any bitterness
among its lAdeTS. Trey declared their inability
to do il. wScreupon MIR. ConkiIng said: We'll.
oeutletueu | can. We can nominate and elect
Senator Window without the least friction or
bitterness, and then will have placed tine White
House IN possession of man whose political char
acer is so well known that he could be trusted in
any emergency"
The comments of the Southern Journals, coupled
with the utterances of Southern statesmen on the
IL
than ever the fact that the old State Rights issue is
at the front again. Editors and statesmen both
clam that the extra session fight the first step
toward bringing back the Government to the posi-
ton it occupied before the war; chat the war settled
nothing except slavery, and that the sovereignty of
the State over the Government in all questions, is
still the pet doctrine of the South Alexander
Stephens declared this before he left Washington.
Ben Hill declared 1t IN Iammany Hall when he
skipped the and called the extra session as
great an epoch as tho Declaration of Independence.
The whole South echoes with this sentiment, and il
will echo N the North too for II is the old question
over again: Was the war a failure
Senator Thurman continues to be the Mari, Tapley
of the extra session. He passed through Baltimore
on Monday. and assured a Bulletin reporter that he
was entirely satisfied with the result as the Demo-
Gratis gained all they expected to- He was also very
hopeful about Ohio though he really had not time
to give his reasons for being SO. 1t is too bad he
was so cramled for time, because Ewing would like
exceedingly 10 look upon a reason two for being
hopeful. He isn't able 10 find any himself Mr.
Thurman, having got his hopes in working ORDER
went on to say that he was very hopeful Of the
Democratic outlook all over the country. and
Thought all good Democrats ought 10 be greatly Gu
couraged. Perhaps the " good " ones are encour-
aged, but like the good Indians. they must all he
deaf for more dOlriul set than the Democratic
party to-day has never been seen in this country.
