Notes and Notions.

NEW 1ORk nerdtu' aulty as MS rea-
soning may be, Mr.. Conkling's trumpet
tongued utterances are well fitted TO rouse
and infame party passions, which was the
undisguised purpose of the speech"

Northern democrat succeeds in getting an
office from the present Congress. For in

the meeting of the convention to nominate
a candidate for President next year is alto
gether doubtful"
THURMAN has bought for distribution
one thousand copies of the number of the
Washington Post with his picture and a
sketch of his life, which began by stating
that he was now the de jure President of
the United States, Tilden and Hendricks
having failed to qualify.
LOUISVILLE Comier-Journdi: "Mr Randall
gave New England one craftsmanship and the
Middle states one. The Southern states got
seventeen; the "border " states nine, and
the Western states fourteen. The distribu-
ton is an equitable one, ard is gagged by
the Importance of the sections"
New York Times: "On the whole, we
are glad that Senator David Davis has
taken to his heels. He was an independent
Republican with democratic proclivities.
He is democrat with Republican antece-
dents. He will worry his new associates
much more than he will anybody else"
THE last words of John p. Phair. who
was hung at Windsor, VT, were; "Lord,
remember me-" Phair robbed woman, cut
her all to pieces with knife, and set her
house on fire to burn up the marks of his
bloody work, and If the Lord doesn't remem-
Der him, there'll be mistake somewhere

WENDELL PnILLrrs: "Only two paths
are open to the colored men of the South.
One is to resist, the other is to leave, one
half OF them, their homes, and teach their
oppressors justice by the severe lesson OF
suffering. Leave the tyrants and bullies to

SENATOR INGALLS, has introduced bill

said that the negroes were all welcome in
Kansas.
In August, 1865. the yearly int crest on
the public debt was $3.50, 077 ,697 81. When
Secretary McCulloch completed his term of
service the annual interest was Sl2s,459,-
59S.14. In July next the amount will be
reduced to SS5,3O5,3S5 yearly. An annual
saving of SG5,672,3l2 is an achievement
that the Republican party can take the
credit of.
AuausrA Ga. Clron;c,e (democran :.
The position of the South is peculiar, She
furnishes men to the democratic ranks, but
she may not appoint the commander. So
long as the Republicans continue their war
against her people as "rebels " and "trait.
ors." she is compelled to allow the Northern
wing of the democracy to shape the policy
and name the candidate of the party. That
policy she will adopt and that candidate she
will support. 80 long as prescription is the

Riots have been the order or the day and
general spirit of discomfort, not to say revo-
luton, is manifested. The whole territory
has recently been put under military rule
and the officers in charge are the devoted
servants of the government. This fact alone
would show that the authorities consider
that there is a yalcano ready to burst forth
with no meagre power.
