anu GheTman. a m j nifty of the second
and third classes aUOYe mentioned, or
what they cal the pee pie, seem to
faYoI Grant, while the FIRST, those who
hold the pursC-stTines, or Il large u
j rity of them, favor Sherman.
Grants history. poii icaly, is
too we'll known 10 REQUIRE
comment, it stands amongst the adj
min strait, IA OF this gOVerbme t
"'alone, like Adams recollection of his
fall" SheruIan is eminently qnaiified
TO represent the second class. HIS intel
lect snd standing Cor be is athorcuki
brer) commands, from he intellectual
world, more respect than any one
named for the position, Tor he ranks
with the best Intellec,s Of this or an5
other unlrY. |: elected, his admin
iatistion would tu.t the class of his
hackers in the parry better than any
man in it-'tw9uld be brilliant, IN
posing and full of show aad dash. II
management of the tinaaces Of the
country has been peculiarly suited t.
this cl-ss Of people, aud they. will spend
money freely TO carry him throu =.
His management Of the CAM aigo
Ohio has given the radical wUrl1 IS
surance that he Is the able politician
iii the purity, ana the best mCn in thu
party think it Grant is certainly
strong now all of the rif-Faf, crooked

genus, support m cordially, and are
loud in demanding his nomination. II
the convention should meet soon, be
would d, u5tless be its nominee, but
in race of six months Sherman's pat
ronage and the moncy OF himself and
friends will buy many a vulgar yell
that now strains throat for Grant.
The dea b of Zach Chandler has
caused quite a STIR IN his party as to
who shail fill his place as chairman Of
the National Executive Committee.
CoDkIing favors Cornell for the We
caucy, which, of course, is opposed by
the Sherman men, as this appointment
would go long way towards forward
ing the chances of CoLkling's choice
for the presidential nomination. 1t
will be hard to fl ''old z lch's" place,
for he was bold, unscrGpulous, fear
less politician, with all the attributes
of a TALENTED statesman, eX ;ept personal
dishonesty, for, say what you will of him,
be was personally an honest msn-in
fact he never stole anything in his life
except the presid, ncy, and since Hayes
is the il cumbent, that amounts only
to petty larceny.
The bells are tolling the r. liem of
perhaps the most Remarkable woman
that this country has ever produced,
Mrs. Margaret O'Niell Elton, who died
Sunday morning. She was. born and
reared IN Washington her father, VIM.
o Nell, was descendant Of that no.
blest of Irish families, the ON ellis of
Ulster; he was among the earliest set
tiers In Washington, and kept hotel
pleasant rendezvous for the gay and
festive congressman VI the time. Gen.
jackson became much attached to
Margaret in her gIrlhood sn remained
her warm friend during his life. Miss
O'Niell married fret Mr.. T,mbulake, a
purser in the navy, and afterwards
Senator Exon, of Tennessee, who be-
came Secretary of War under j .ckson
aud afterwa de Minister to Spain. 50
from the daughter of an inn keeper,
without the advantage OF birth or edu
cation, with nothing tut her wit and
besu'y, she fOue ht her way up 10 be
the wife of Senator and foreign MN
isttF. She is said to have caused the
Reorganization of Jackson's cabinet and
TO have dic'aed the nomination of
Van Buren,. Her transcendabt beauty
aud pers )nal charms are still remem-
bered and spoken of by the older citi-
zens of this CRY. at an advanced age
she married yluug man named
Bdchignani, who, after becoming pos.
sessed of her fortune, deserted her and
eIoped with her grand daughter, Miss
Emily Rudolph. Her funeral takes
place to-day. Hons. Dan and S mon

The city is fast filling up with con-
gressmep, lobbyists and the usual
crowd that meets with Congress. The
Capitol has been thor lughlS refi,ted
aud will be GIFTED with electric light
for the next Co lgrsss.
The places OF Amusement are all filed

aud Adelaide Nelson, with many
other lesser stars, with Us. The signs
indicate gay winter.
