MINOR NOTES.

The State of Illinois needs demonstrating.
if it is true that the advantages of the high
school system are denied colored youth who
are qualified for admission Such is the pub
lished report.
Ex-Gov. Jewell OF Connecticut is reported
as saying at Washington that, judging from
conversations with Gen. Grant in Europe. the
latter would accept the Republican presiden-
tial nomination in 1850 although he does not
seek it.
The Galena Ill. J Gazette publishes an ar
ticle tating that Il letter has just been receiv-
ed from Gen. Grant, dated Nikko, Japan.
July %, in which he reiterates his purpose to
80 directly TO his home in Galena after he
completes his visit on the Pacific coast If he
visits Oregon it is not thought that he will ar
rive at Galena before the last of October. His
house there has been put in complete repair
inside and out, and all will be in readiness to
receive him. In the letter referred to, the
General speaks of his travels in China and
Japan, aud of the latter country in the most
glowing terms.
Gen. Garfield reports Gen. Grant as say
ing:
have always felt certain that. if ever l
sought or obtained a place by my own seek
ing, | should fail in the discharge of its du-
ties You will remember that l never asked
for an appointment in my life. When Gov.
Yates asked me to take charge Of q regiment,
l distrusted my ability to do that. To be
sure, had commando company in Mex
leo, but that didn't prove that could handle
a regiment. told Gov Yates that he must
appoint me at his own risk if l failed it
would be the fault of those who put me in
place. Ever since then it has been my con-
viction that, if l ever held any public post by
my own procurement should fail at it, be
cause the responsibility would be my own.

MnIne.

At this writing it is uncertain whether the
Maine Republicans have elected their candi-
date for Governor by the popular vote, but it
is assured that his plurality over the Demo
cratic candidate is upward Of 10000 and
over the Greenback candidate upward of 20
600. The vote on Monday, IN. 600, is the largest
ever cast in the State. The Grccubnckers
have gained about 20 per cent. on last years
vote, but their gain has been at the expense
Of the Democratic party, which cuts n most
deplornble figure in the general result, show
ing loss of about u per cent as compared
with last years vote. The Senate is Repub-
lican by majority Of -, and the House 10y
n majority Of at least 80, so that in case Davis
is not elected by the people he will be chosen
by the Legislature. The victory for the Re
publicans is therefore complete.
or the result OF this election the Boston
Journal says;
The most important result Of last Mon
days election is the overthrow and destruc-
ton of the Demo Greeuback combination. II
was brought about by class Of trading poll
ticians, whose only political purpose is to get
office. The trade was opposed by many men
in both the Democratic and Greonback parties
but the most of them yielded to the plea of
necessity and the promise that the overthrow
of the Republican party in Maine should fol-
low the union of these two parties This
promise the leaders have been unable to keep,
so that their plea Of necessity will no longer
be effective. They may attempt combinations
next year, but hundreds of Democrats, whose
better judgment opposed the plan, will not
again submit TO become parties to another
disgraceful abandonment Of even qucstiona-
BILE principles TO an expeditncy that has prov
ed notifying failure. We predict, there
fore, that there will be no Demo Gre enback
loye-feasts in 1850.
Another important outcome Of the cleo
ton is the discontinue Of the Greeuback
movement. The heresy has been cut at the
roots Its leaders may nominate ticket next
year, but it will have little support. The thir-
ty odd thousand Democrats who have vote d
for Mr.. Smith this year will vote the straight
Democratic ticket next year, now that yot-
ing the Greenback ticket does not promise
the election of a Democratic United States
Senator. The election has practically settle d
the financial question. We shall hear little
of fat money hereafter, consequently the
most Of those WHO were Republicans but
who followed Scion Chnse in the GrecnlRck
lunacy in good faith. will next year be found
voting the Republican ticket, while those who
joined the movement for thirty pieces Of sill
yer will try TO force themselves upon the
Democracy as leaders. In fact. the Green
back movement is an exploded fire cracker"

didaCy.


The Republican nomination for governor
of New York is an exceedingly unfortunate
one, and all that has been said of the unwis-
dom of precisely such a nomination remains
true. The importance of the result in this
State, both in the election of this year and of
the next, is such that il was the duty Of all
Republicans who understood it to select some
candidate truly representative of its princi-
pies and purposes 1t viii not be commended
that with whatever eXcellences of character
MIR. Cornell is such q representative He has
been long familiar figure in the politics Of
the State, and whatever may be the personal
friendly regard entertained for him, it will
not be denied that it is al extraordinary nom.
ination 10 be made by the Republican party
in this State at this time. 1t was a plain du-
ty to select some candidate Of political expe-
rience wholly unconnected with the dissen-
slons and alterations in the party. and for
whom every Republican could vote without
reluctance and without apology; some man
of aptitude for public affairs, of courage
like that Of John jay, who repealed the dicta-
ton of Alexander Hamilton. Of ability like
that Of Gov. Seward, who, in the interests of
human rights vanquished Virginia in argu-
ment and maintained the honor and dignity
of New York. This is not an ideal standard.
because the names show that there have been
such governors and while it is not to be ex-
pected that there will always be such candi-
dates it is well to contemplate what has been
and to remember that the governorship of
New York is a great Office. Certainly it is
unwise to be content with action which,
measured by such standards, is only gro
tesque
1t has been already stated that it is not a
nomination acceptable to many who support
ed It, There was no formal speech of pre-
sentation, and the result was received with
out enthusiasm. 1t was a result due entirely
TO what is known as ''the machine" and any
other candidate whom the machine had
adopted would have been nominated as read
lily. This is but the confirmation of the fact
which is more and more evident that the po-
lihcal initiative has passed entirely from the
people into the hands of the especial political
class. This can be remedied only by the res
dilute and persistent work of those intelligent
citizens who clearly perceive it, The plat
form of the convention is good, but too diff
fuse, and II contains timely recognition of
the responsibility of corporations which is
fast becoming a very important question
Moderation of the necessity of harmony can
not conceal the fact that the campaign has
opened in dispiriting manner and nothing
but the consciousness of the immense couse-
quences of Republican defeat could secure
victory under such auspices. The duty OF
conccaling what hosts Of the most intelligent
and patriotic Republicans feel, we do not
recognize.

quarters for their annual review 10y the gov

in gray coats and white pants with red and

drilling the regiment in the manual of arms
for an hour; then came grand parade,
headed by the St. Adams band and the First

himself highly pleased with the condition of
the troops. At O'Clock Capt. Fuller divided
his battery, placing guns around one of the
hills, and Col. Peck dividing the regiment to
support the different guns, commenced sham
fight which lasted over an hour. Great skill
was displayed by the officers conducting this
affair, which was one of the most interesting
features carried out by the regiment In the
evening Colonel and Mrs. Farnham of Brad

Something About TiIden.

CYRUS W. FIELD GIVES CHAPTER FROM HIS
owN Personal EXPERIENCE WITH THE MAN.
The New York World publishes a three
column letter from Cyrus w. Field relating
his transactions with Samuel J. Tiiden, from
which 1t appears that when he Field in
1917 parted with a portion of his stock in the
New York elevated railroad TO Mr.. Tilden,
the latter desired the stock put in the name
of his nephew William T. Pelton, who, he
said, was an excellent man of business, lust
the one We want" Yet Mr.. Tilden afterward
admitted that he then knew all about Pelton's
transactions in regard to the cipher dispatches
The text Of the original agreement by which
Mr.. Field and Mr.. Pelton became interested
equally in the stock Of the elevated road is
given with Mr. Tilden's guarantee When
the time came for the first payment, it was
neglected for weeks by Pelton and was final
ly made by Mr.. Iilden, when personally
waited upon by Mr., Field, by check for the
whole amount, sufficient proof That the de-

CASTLE THUNDER BURNED. The burning
down Of the notorious military prison, popu-

monuments of the civil war. II stood but a

1t, was originally a tobacco factory A num-

correspondents of the New York newspapers,

eminent 1t was used generally, however,
for the confinement of Southern citizens who
had been suspected of the crime of Unionism,
and of rebel officers who had been accused of
violating military laws. Two or three Union
men were hanged as spies in the Enclosure of
the prison, and many thrilling scenes of dar-
ing and escape were enacted there during the
eventful four years of the bloody struggle.
The prisoners were often brutally and cruelty
treated, especially by Capt. Alexander, of
Baltimore, for some time keeper of the hor-
rid den Castle Thunder has a strange and
romantic, as well as horrible history, which
has never been half written and which is not
now likely TO be. The old smoke-begrimed
walls, still standing, have witnessed great suf-
