POLITICAL NOTES.

THE New York Herald says that every Indepen.
dent shot in Mississippi during this campaign is
equal to the loss of half dozen electoral votes u
the Democratic party next year.
one of the latest phases of the Democratic quar-
rel in New York is the fear that Tammany Hail
may elect not only their own delegates, but those
TO be chosen in the anu-Tammany conventions.
A MAN In Lewiston. Me-, who has voted the Dem.
ocratic ticket for thirty-One years writes TO the
Kcnnebec Journal that he has lost his faith in that

AS to Judge SETTLE, ho has no chance for
securing the object of his ambition--the Sec
ond place on the Radical ticket. This nom
natiOn would not insure a single electoral
vote, and would be distaSteful to the better
elements of his party.
Thus saith the Democratic organ and
Judge SETTLES friends, who are numerous
the country over, will be grateful to it for
having spoken thus, The main argument
advanced in favor of his nomination for the
Yice-P Presidency is the certainty, almost
that with him on their ticket the Republic
cans would carry both North Carolina and
Florida, the former his native aud the latter
the State of his adoption. That he carried
North Carolina in 1876 on legal count no
one who knows the facts will deny, and
that he is by far the strongest Southern
Republican that could be selected for this
honor is attested by the assertion of the
Charlotte IN. O. Observer that he would
poll more votes in that State than General
GRANT himself 1t is only when a pro-
posed Republican candidate is really very
strong that the organ above quoted rises in
its utter unselhshness to explain that he
would not insure single electoral vote"
and that his nomination would be dis
tasteful TO the better elements of his
party" If the very reverse Of this ex-
PLANTATION were not the truth the organ
aforesaid would insist that Judge SETTLE is
exactly the man the Republicans ought to
nominate.

EIGHTY-FoUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS is
the sum Speaker RANDALL says the Demo
cratic Congress has saved to the Govern
ment by cutting down appropriations. This
is not true, for the cutting-down process has
been engineered by Republican Admins
traton, mainly by reduction of the Inter
est on the public debt. But Mr., RANDALL
failed to explain that while the expenses OF
the Executive branch of the Government,
which is under Republican control, have
been reduced, those of the Legislative
branch, under Democratic control, have
been increased.

1T is only few months ago since the
Democratic press, without rhyme or reason,
was accustomed to "put head" on all an

grouped under the Characterization asher

Possibilities!

1t is certainty that JEFF DAVIS will be
elected to the Senate from Mississippi, to
take his seat in 1881.
1t is Il possibility that he may thereafter
be elected to be President pro tenn of that
body and thus become disagreeable fixture
in the line of promotion, by reason of
casualty, to the Presidency.
1t is also a possibility that the election
next year may not be concluded in the Elec-
toral College, and may therefore be thrown
into the House.
Also, that by process of fllibusterng tao
tics the President pro tenn of the Senate (J EFF
DAVIS might be placed in the same position
as regards the Presidency as that occupied
by Senator FERRY in 1676-'77.
1t is further possible that JEFF may die
meanwhile, and that the Bourbons would
not succeed in carrying out this programme.
But if he does live and the contingencies
permit it, it is certain that they will at
tempt to carry it out, despite the obstacle OF
his existing political disabilities, which can
only be removed by two-thirds vote in
both Houses and the subsequent approval
of the President. No one will deny the
willingness of the Bourbons to override the
laws in such an event, and it will be adj
mitted that their anxious ambition to win
"dicate our President would prove to be q
sufficient incentive under such circum-
stances to prompt them to undertake the
most revolutionary measures for the accom-
plishment of that object,
As the situation now stands, Senator
THURMAN is the man who would fill the
place occupied by Senator FERRY three
years ago, and THURMAN, it must be re.
membered, is as much Secessionst in
theory as JEFF DAVIS ever has been in
practice.
The colossal IFS, which stand in the
way of the realization of these possibilities
are no more worthy of consideration, from
Bourbon standpoint, than thousand and
one obstacles against the establishment OF
bogus Home Rule in the Southern States
were in the past five or six years.

Il better personal than political impress

a man when seeking popularity and votes
promising too much. AS you feel your ear
tickled by his delightful dcnunciations of
his party rascals, you still do not fail to
remember that these same rascals are all
goin. to vote for him, and are advocating
his election. You remember besides, that

the general impression of his speech upon
