PITH OF THE PRESS.

New York Star (Dem.) Senator Ed
munds' so-called olive branch is only a this
tie spray.
St. Louis Post and Dispatch Dem. );i The
Grant movement is booming. Its watch
word. "Put none but bummers on guard
| tonight.
Buffalo Express (Rep): "Tiden has
| bought another mule" says Wes' ern pa
per. We thought the vacancy arising from
| the absence of Mr.. Pelton wouldn't long be
| untitled.
Cleveland Herald (Rep): supposing the
coparceners are caught in the tolls, then
what? Will the law take its course, and
will they give the community a lift by
Iaboring for the public good in some peni-
,enliary?
Chicago InterOcean (Rep.): Let the peo-
pie give every man his due. Mr.. Potter
made good speech against the Southern
claim business on Tuesday. The passage
Of the bill in question would establish
pre- edent, he said that would let in the
whole horde OF Southern claims. To this
he was opposed, and he proceeded to enter
his emphatic protest.
New York Tribune (Rep) Senator Beck
should be allowed to cons ruct the next
National Democratic Platform. After re-
sumption was accomplished he rushed to
The front with denunciation of Secreta
ry Sherman, and now in the face of Eng
lands depression, and Germany's proposed
abandon of Free Trade, he lifts up a
cry for Free Trade in America. Anti-Re-
sumption and Free Trade would make a
moving platform next year.
Brooklyn Eagle Dem.): We look for no
further disclosures touching the cipher dis
catches through the investigation. Those
who think highly of Mr.. Tilden and those
who think meanly of him are, we think, in
accord on this: That if those who were in
close political relations with him attempted
10 obtain a true declaration of the vote OF
| Florida or Louisiana, by paying for it, all
knowledge of the business in which they
were engaged was kept from Mr.. Tilden.
New Orleans Democrat (Dem.): Matt. Car
penter has been more identified with the
Democrats, perhaps, than any leading Re-
publican. Last year he appeared for them
in several important political cases in
Washington, and so thoroughly identified
himself with that party that he was accused
-
the Republicans and gone over to the De,
nocracy. He is certainly milder type of
Republican than Howe, Logan or the other
Senators that the Republicans are sending
10 Washington just now.
Boston Traveller (Rep.): The Democratic
Congressman decide not to permit such q
trihe as the Southern claims for hundred
million of dollars TO cause dissension in
their ranks. A few Northern Democrats
will protest, and men like Bragg, of Wis.
consin, may occasionally put vigor into the
protest, but party discipline will prevail
and when the Democrats get into power the
claims will be paid. The Southern Demo
Gratis must be patient, and they will be, be
cause they are confident that their North
ern brethren will in the end allow interest
as well as principal to be paid.
New York World (Dem.): With sound
Federal system Of coined money there is nc
reason why the interest on the National
bonds should not be again reduced in due
time to that now paid ON British conspls
which is per cent, and with this reduc
ton will come another gain for taxpayers
Only fight resolutely for Jackson's ''yelov
bows" and all will be we'll. But the ''idef
of Ohio must be carried out and buried
decently if you like, but effectually ant
finally. We should not object to Con
gressional appropriation for handsome
, mausoleum, with statues of Ewing and th,
, Mustang-Sycamore sin act to weep"
New York Sun Democratic and Luna
tic): In this new era of good feeling, which
!, has so delightfully."- dawned upon us, th
spectacle of Senator Lamar and Boss Shep
herd treading Pennsylvania avenue arm il
, arm, and vigorously discussing projects TO
, relieving the National Treasury of its su
perhuous load of greenbacks, and for trans
ferring them to the pockets of patriotic cit
9 izens anxious to serve their country, i
truly refreshing. The day of sectiona
strife must have passed away when tn
Ring Chief under whose rule the people 0
the District of Columbia were plundered ia
worse than any Southern State, in propoI
q ton to population and resources is seel
. daily cheek by jowl with the Southern lead
S ers and engaged in enterprises attractin
e mutual sympathy and support. All thi
! is very lovely, but somebody must be ea
= pected to pay pretty roundly for the pei
