A strung Presidential Ticket.

Philadelphia Bullettn.l
English newspapers, when they under
take to discuss American affiirs, are near
ly always amusing. The London EIami-
Her in a recent article, asks why it is that
neither Of the great political parties in this
country has yet announced its candidate
for the Presidency; and its answer is, "be-
cause, as We hear on excellent authority,
the nomination OF Grant would be signal
for an alliance Of the Democrats with the
equal right and other minor parties, snd
for the counter nomination OF one whose
csndidature, it is believed by many, would
sweep all before 1.-THE nomination Of
Victoria Woodhall." More than this, the
Er1miner assures tie world that Sit has
been known for several weeks in some cir
Giles that Mrs. Woodhall had been visited
in her retirement at South Kensington by
a deputation Of seven American gentlemen,
who themselves control about million
of votes, and solicited TO stand for the
Presidency and ii would argus blindness
and stupidity on our part TO overlook or
undeTate the significance OF ouch fact"
But who Is TO run for the N're-Presidency
upon the ticket with Mr. Woodruff?
Some of US might expect to hear the name
of the Sweet Singer of Michigan or DR..
Mary Walker; but the EJqm!ner knows
better. "She has Teen collected to let her
name be put on the ticket with General
Butler or Mr.. Tilden and canv assing clubs
have been formed in all the large cities"
And then, having given these startling, but
solid, fscta, the E1GmineT lspses into sem
timentsl vein and sweetly remarks: ave
have Queen Victoria are our cousins
Perchsnce going TO take TO themselves s.
Princess Victoria An intelligent
Enlishmsn may generally be depended upon
TO have come accurate acquaintance with
matters in Asia, or Africa, or Australia, or
even in Greenland; but when it comes 10
the United States, he invariably knows
rather less about the real state OF things
than the inhabitants OF Mars know about
him

LONDON, Nov. pa dispatch from
Dublin to the Times says: "While the
Irish agitators tell the public they are en-
gagged in legal and constitutional agita-
ton and ostensibly advise the people to
keep within the law, the country abounds
with evidence that q different interpreta-
ton has been put upon their language.
The Threatening notice and bursts of viO-
lence are practical comments upon their
| words. These are evil omens for the win
ter, which is beginning to be felt"
A correspondent of the Times calls at
tention to the brisk trade doing at Irish
| fairs in old Government rifles, 125 rifles
being sold in the district of Dangsnnon
in one week, at about seven shillings each.

Monroe, Q1een's counsel, said that if he

should spring to its feet and say it would
tolerate landlord and landlordism no
longer the magistrates would be bound tc
