The Southern papers are still sore
about General Bragg's speech against
Southern claims. The Norfolk Trg,-
MAN calls upon the Southerners in
Congress to assert and maintain their
rights. 1t says:
The fact that any man calling him
self Democrat could have the effron-
terry to thus wantonly insult the South
ern Democrats, who at that very time
formed a large majoriv of the Demo
cratic party 10 the House, suggests the
the propriety and necessity that the
Southern Rel resentative should them
se' es appreciate andrequire others to ad
NIT their Influence Ia the party that for
he next two years, at least, is to WELD
he law-making power of the nation.

Grant and his Rivals.

Ex-senator Hitchcock, Of N Nebraska
who. though two years out of public
position, is still in active politics, and
is regarded as the best political man
ager in bis State, said, ia the course of
familiar chat with New York TriJ-
ane reporter, that he regarded Grant s
nomination in 1880 as almost a GER
talnty. 1--WE must nominate Grant to
get even with the patent reformers,
and put the party back where it was
before they began their mischief" he
declared (The ex Senator is one of
the most stalwart Of the stalwarts, and
is an earnest believer in the merit and
expediency of oldfashioned machine
politics. 1.-The general movement"
he continued, sis reaction against
namby- -pamby notions, bogus reform
and Civil Service humbug, as we'll as
protest against the attitude of the
solid South"
DO you think it will last year,
or is it likely to run itself out, like
many popular excitements, before the
time comes for it to be effective?" Il
look On the Grant feeling as genuine
movement, and one far too strong to
evaporate in year. [ believe Grant
will be nominated by accamation, and
that nobody will attempt to make head
way against him in the convention"
"Are any candidates much spoken
of in the West besides Grant aud
Blaine?" "Conkling has many sup
porters. He has won them by his re-
cent course. Formerly he had DO
friends in our section. An available
Eastern candidate was killed off recent
ly-one who might have come in as
Hayes did,"
"Whom do you mean?" Chart
ranft, of Pennsylvania. They gave
him a Post Office, and that disposed
of him. No postmaster can ever be
nominated for the Presidency. The
thing would be too absurd. ="
Has John Sherman any supporters
out your way?" ga very few We
Western Republicans think he repre-
sents the money interest of the East,
and We have notion that these inter-
ests control the Governmen ut altogether
too much for the good of men who
haven't got much money. It may be
that Sherman's success with resump-
ton gives him claim to the nomina-
tion, but he would not be popular in
the West"

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-The
Committee of Conference on the
Legislative Appropriation bill
reached an agreement this morning
and their recommendations will
doubtless be adopted by both
Houses to-day. The principal mat
ter in the controversy was House
amendment making an allowance
for S125 for each Representative
and Senator for stationery used or

receded from this amendment. They
also recommend a concurrence by

document, evincing vast amount o
mental labor in its preparation, and
an unremittiDg research into the an.
