Don't expose Yourself in any more letters, Mr..
thurman You have shown already that there Is
no Northern bulldOZng.
Keep sharp eye on that Mississippi Lcvcc BILL

by helping 1t along on the sly.
The country is waiting with breahless interest

Thurman has suddenly changed his mind and
viii not .prak AT the Democratic lOve-feast IN ONO
to-day. THIS d. not strange. The future IS too m
certain 10 make this Il desirable time 10 put Coh
VIctIous on record.
Thurman has been swearing once more, and once
NOR, h. swears he won't Ne won't run for Coy
rrlor. and he won't make an Andrew JAG isoh
speech But Thurman hd- been known to CAahgc
ri, mind, and he may do both
There IS profound conviction in the Interior De-
pa..ueut that General Sheridan does not under
stand the English language, and that his recent
letter As very funny. Well, If the Interior Depart
ueut U.-h., to smile at Its own funeral there - 40
law AGAINST IT.
4 Ii,den organ in this state. The EImiro GG-c''e,
alva.ltcs a union Of the Democrats and Grceunack-
r,s AGAINST the National banAs. What does this
moan! The organ saws It means that the Raal-
car..rc to be- crushed The only possible meaning
,t .r,cl q union would be that the Democratic party
has become post ->cd of devil ANA l. running down
- steep hill with efficiently c1paclous pool III
the bottom.
There are muttcrings of discomfort in the Demo-
cratic household about ;he work OF the Potter Com
IuIttcc That last trip TO New-Orleans seems 10
have been one evaporation too much for the
pati,nt editor who has been trying SO hard for
months 10 demonstrate that the committee was not
..e.i 70 farce seemed To be. The poor man gives
mo- the Job with grOau now, ana ASKS 10 nave 'Hc
committee removed from the public eye
II cannot be sad that TIdcn's efforts to renomi-
nat, himself next year are making much h' adway.
The SOUTH which at one time showed disposition
to tr. iiu again. l. now decidedly cool toward MN,
.rI tr.re /, no manifestation of a desire for
second tiai in any other section. Ihe newspapers
- tbi. STATE which had a sudden squirt OF loyalty
Tor hlln a lew weeks ago. are now silent and YIoi-
bly ,lv-pnudrut. Perhaps the heditne,s with when
ila Lrp,!Iucan iouina.s swung out tor a rlomIud-
non had a depressing effect upon them. All TINS
wit SHOW Mr. llldcn The imperative necessity Ioi
ylndicatOn from the ClphrTS.
The attention OF the country should be concen-
tratcd upon the modern system OF Democratic III
yc>tigarion The plan j. to secure Il large aPpro-
nr,atIan. conduct the investigation with a much
noi,. 20 possible until the money is all spent, but TO
make no report showing what has been obtained IN
r,iuru for the outlay. Glover has followed this
nlau. and 80 has Mr.. Potter Nobody expects any
report from either because to attempt anything Of
tb- KIND would bc simply to make elaborate con-
rN,jOn of failure. The precedent IS, nevertheless,
/, dorocrous one. IL Will make II easy toI any Con-
r,~iun to start an inquiry Ior the sole pm pose NJ
.r>IngtwploYmtut at the Governments expense 70
a lot of hnnEry followers. The practice Is one
more specimen Ol Democratic rciOTn and the
/ country should mediate upon II as SUCH
II will be proud moment for New-lork when
Mr. CoX-funuy Mr.. :. :. CoX-rIScs mp IN Congress
to-day or tomorrow, and unfurls that new joke
ne has incubated during the holidays. Nobody
know, what il will be about, but it Is safe to pre-
DIE; that il Will he worthy OF its author. Perhaps
II V Ill take the form OF attack upon the National
banks. and that would certainly be the funniest
snrctocle ever exhibited in Congress. The Demo-
cr,t,c Marty shows signS of consolidating that is
! suc and VINO knows but that Mr. Cox might make
himself the leader and solve me problem for 1850?
The part = must have NcTlork man fora candidate,
and VIZ nor take Mr. Cox? Now is hlS llane, and If
Lc viii take with becoming gratitude IA Int of en-
tiTrIy dsiutcrcsted advice will add another gag
to that joke ana then let II slip without delay.
