POLITICAL NOTES.
one.

The Presidential backbone will now have a
benefit.
Having marched up the hill, the Democrats will
now march down again.
A second extra session would mako the Republi-
can majority in 1880 almost unweldy.
The Democracy can perform its backdown slowly
or ouickly according to taste, but the jig must be
danced.
Matt Carpenter seems to have given mp hIs idea of
being third party. Senator Dayis's fate has scared
him, evidently.
The eagerness Of tho Democrats to nominate
Davis for the Presidency is not great enough to
make Illden nervous.
They have discovered in kentucky that Beck has
"squeched" tho Republican cry of revolution.
Up this way 1t is thought that the cry has squeched
Beck
report IL circulating through tho South that
Tildcn has light the silver question: and is
now in favor of double standard. The report is
not intended for circulation III this latitude.
1t is all proper and natural enough for newly
converted Democrats like Palmer and Trumbull to
hope for their own advancement whom a reaction
from Tilden sezes the party. but if that reaction
comes the man who will profit by 1t frs: Is General
Hancock.
That the Democrats will bo so phenOmenally
stupid as TO force another extra session seems in
down now, but what is the in calling fresh
attention to the operation by forcing a second
session in which TO perform it Do they wish to
DO piggish even in making blunders
Colonel Love- of Alabama. ought to adopt tho
japanese method Of duelling as described in A
Scrap Of Paper; tho challenger falls his sword
and tho challenged party 10 expected to follow his
noble example. After tho enforcement of this
method of settling the difficulty there is danger
of tho wrOns man surviving. This consideration,
however may not be attractive to Colonel Lowe.
Congressman Goode, of Virginia, fills tho country
with gricfby declaring that the Republican speeches
in the House almost made him despair Of the Re-
public, and that he only consented not to despair
by assuring himself that the Republican speakers

idea of what is udcious and proper may be directly
opposite to the popular idea-hence the apparent
collision.
John A. Logan Is In predicament. He il chal-
lenged to tight duel by ono Z" "COlonel" Lowe. who
won his military title in trying TO destroy his
try. Logan, this man intimates, ~ coward. As
Logan was engaged in only about n hundred bat
ties during the war for the Union. and as his re-
ward for gallantry was merely promotion from
private citizen to majOrReneral, IL - possible thas
he may be compelled to go out into Held and sno0t
at some unknown man, in order to make bIs coun-
trymen believe he Is brave.
The sudden flop of Judge Davis and the appear
ance of Senator Carpenter in the ranks Of the
stalwart Republicans put end to all third party
foolery in the Senate There has been 10 demon
stration of the kind in the House, aside from
the Greenback movement which was only
another form Of Democracy IL may be
said therefore, that all possibility for any
thing like n third party movement in 1880 has
vanished at this early day. The issues are 80 I'M
porant and so clearly defined, that there Is for

lished interview was not strictly correct, but
the language we have quoted above is from
his own statement of the true version.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Lowe does not
make the "fase and slanderous" charge on
his own responsibility. He only repeats "a
"current report" adds that he never heard IL

questioned about it he might lie. In other
words he accuses political opponent OF
dishonOrable action, confessedly without KNOW
ing whether the accusation is true or false,
and without caring TO inquire. Is there any
form of slander baser than this, which adds
meanness to mendacity7 IL the charge was
false, the man who took it up and prOpagated
it, In sheer reckless indifference whether there
was any foundation for it or not, made nm
self fully responsible for the falsehood, and
deserves the same treatment that a gentleman
would give to the original manufactures OF
the lie. General Logan was quite right In ap
plying to the report the vigorous terms ne
did, and leaving Mr.. Lowe and the newspaper
to divide the affront according to their own
ideas of their respective deserts. 1t does not
appear to us that there Is any choice between
them.
There is great prevalence of this style OF

is more common than to hear venomous and

outrageous stories about others, and shelter

while to find the victim of an attack of this
sort applying to the scandal-mongers the
plain epithets which they deserve, and treat

The most remarkable feature of the finan-
cial news of the past week is the apparent
sale of British cOnsols by British investors in

market is supported by the striking change in

had, in fact. given the bin, had not accident

might have suffered for a long time the
pangs of unjust suspicion. The case may
seem a trivial one, but upon just such
honest and mistaken evidence human lie
might have been sworn away. The books are
full of such cases. The affair may well serve
to show those who give evidence the neces-
sity of testing their memories well, and those
who hear it the wisdom of declining to be-
leve a story simply because it is told in good
faith.
The Democratic debate as to the " "uDcer-
"tainty " of the Presidents action upon the
Army bill must exhaust itself to-day, for the
announcement comes from Washington that
his message vetOing the bill will reach the
House of Representatives o-mouow-Would
be sent in to-day if the House were IN session.
For a man who has been either tavoraDly DIS
posed toward the bill, as some Dem
cratic wiseacres have represented hum, or
turned hither and thither by doubts ana
fears. as others have had it, the President,
when once compelled to decide, certainly
makes up his mind with extraordinary
promptitude, and becomes very suddenly
courageous From the statements made in
our Washington dispatches, it is clear that
the majority in Congress Will be as h'tie
pleased with the matter of the veto message
as with its manner 1t is likely to show
that the President has been misunderstood
bv Republicans as well as Democrats. III 1t
fulfls the expectations formed OF it in
Washington, it will not only state the plain
and inevitable grounds of objection to the
bill itself, but will go further and boldly de-
clare that it is part OF q scheme to cOerce the
President under threats to withhold appropri-
ations. There is reason enough In the bill
for q veto message of the usual sort. Some
of its nOn-pOlitical provisions even are
questionable - those relating to promo
ticns, for instance, which the ma
iority in the Senate refused to have
amended. But there is reason enough in the
bill and behind it for a veto message of an
unusual sort. and this, it seems, re are to
have. The President sill, il is t. lieyeG, as

London Prico. New-York Price.

Ever since Tuesday, 1t will be seen, the
London quotations have been in advance of
the market here. and the price Of four per
cents has advanced rapidly at Lorjon, while
the price of cOnsOls has declined. When the
great subscription Of $150,000,000 was an
nounced on the 18th, the first effect seerls to
have been an advance in the price of both
securitios, holders evidently inferring that
the great abundance of money thus shown
would Justify higher prices. But the higher
prices for cOnsols have manifestly caused
large sales and reaction, while the heavy
purchases Of United States bonds in London
has pushed the price little higher than that
current here.
Whether tho foreign demand for the United
States fours will continue, or will be speedily
checked by the rapid advance of price, it is
difficult now to Judge. The condition of for
eign trade would tend to arrest any sale of
Government bonds abroad, because exports
largely exceed Imports but for the fact that

securities Of Erie continue much the most
