Orders respectfully solicited and promptly. .f'led |
THE President is now watching and wait
ing the pleasure of laggard Congress
BEN HILL, in the inventory of heroes |
taken in the South since the war, is emu
merated as a peace man in war, and a war
"man in peace"
II now looks as if Canadian annexation |
was on the high road to success Another
visit the Dominion.
THE Boston Herald has been making q |
canvass Of New England sentiment on the
Presidential question, and finds General |
GRANT the strongest man among all the
names mentioned in that connection.
BLACKBURN's soul is in arms and he is
eager for the fray, while THURMAN is lamb
like in disposition and bearing, and invokes
peace. This is not strange so long as he
feels that he is now attending his own po-
litical funeral. Requiescat in pace.
THE Democrats have the right of appeal.
They cannot intimidate or coerce the Presi-
dent into an approval of their partisan
'riders.' Now let them pass the appropria-
tion bills pure and simple, and appeal to the
people. They will then find out just what's
the matter.
LADD, of Maine, a stalwart Greenbacker,
has brought his heaviest artillery to bear
upon Secretary SHERMAN to effect his utter
demolition but neither the Secretary, nor
the 4 per cents. appear to be materially
affected thereby, The silver moon rolls on
as usual.
THE Greenbackers of Ohio seem to have
sense enough to understand that they have
nothing to gain by lashing themselves to a
dead body, and hence they shrink from q
coalition with the Confederate Bourbons.
On this point they are wise, unless they
have great power at deoderization and re-
gard their cause as hopeless at best.
SARAToGA--so says Democratic author
ity--opens the fashionable season, by way
of novelty, with several irst-class cases of
the smallpox. This will be likely to create
a Tush-one way or the eother-probably the
other. By way Of offset Niagara Falls ought
TO open with yellow fever-then competi-
tion would be lively.
WE learn from duly authorized Demo-
cratic authority that to carry Ohio this fail
by anything like solid vote is to rectify
the Democratic frontier" Rectify is good
in this connection but the people have had
enough of straight Bourbon, and will pro-
ceed in due form to repudiate the rectifed
article.
GENERAL JOE JOHNSTON appears to have
more horse sense than the heayerage Confederate
Bourbon. He advised the caucus that their
proposed restrictive clause on the army bill
would be no more than a cobweb in the
Presidents way. He appreciates the fact
that Congress cannot legislate away the
Presidents constitutional powers and pre-
negatives
Is it possible that Collee.Pot WALLACE
will permit the testimony OF that notorious
political lunatc Tom MACKEY OF South
Carolina, to stand uncontradicted and unex-
planned on the records of his committee +?
We answer that it is, for it is no part of c.
+. WIS character Democratic politician,
or intent as q jug-handed Bourbon investi-
gator to give the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth to the public,
THERE Is a discOuragng lull IN the exodus.
Not to put too fine point upon II, the exodus
Is by no means as lively as 1t was Louisville
COuriCr'JOWHdl,
The lull in the exodus is produced by the
same influences that brought lull upon
Republicanism in the South The steam
boat men have been bull-dozed until they
dare not transport the emigrants, and hence
the lpll. 1t will not always be so Mark
that.
THE great furry and excitement over the
impending campaign in Ohio is tho result of
Democratic perturbation more than any
thing else. The anti-Tlden organs are full
of talk about relieving the party from its
"vassalage to New York." meaning thereby
its delivery from the baneful corruption of
TILDEN's bar'l. 1t is this Democratic excite
ment which imparts to this campaign all
the significance it possesses as the first gun
of 1880
TIE Baltimore SIN says: Colonel ROB-
"ERT INGERsOLL's burial service is calcu-
"lated to reconcile many persons to die in
49, the bosom of the church in order to have
"sensble words spoken beside their graves
"Such ritual as INGERsoLL's is worse than
