Poiittcai Paragraphs.


says: The truth is that the people
of this country own and govern 1t.
The ancient Borie went to India
to scof at a third term, the Chica-
60 Times alleges, and comes back
to America to pray for it.
Zack. Chandler, by grace of a
Michigan backwoods college, is
now a doctor of laws, remarks the
Chicago Times. Some years age
he was doctor of returns from the
ballot-box.
Grants Secretary of War was
Don Cameron, a worthy successor
Of Belknap, the Sunday Times sug-
gests, who would stick at nothing
to keep possession of power.
The Augusta, Me-, Standard
says: Blaine made a valorous
charge on the "Rebel Brlgadiers," !"
at Bangor. He was SO far away
from them that it was not necessa-
ry 10 get a substitute.
A fair-looking but demented
young woman called at the White
House the other day, and wanted
the President to marry her. 1t was
Mrs. Hayes, the Philadelphia
Chronicle asserts, who sent in a
veto this time.
That there is some common
sense among the stalwarts after all
the Baltimore Nea0s thinks, Is
proved by the advice of one of them
to the President to the effect thai
the latter had better not call an
other extra session.
The Boston Post paragraphs thus
Zack, the statesman, is vial.ent
Speaker.-As the desire of seek
ers after perpetual motion is mere
ly to obtain something that will
have a never .ceasing revolution,
why don't they take Mexico and be
satisfied?
The Dubuque Herald says: Des
Moines is Vienna just now. Least
wise Mr.. John A. Kasson, who is
drawing a regular and handsome
salary for representing the United
States at the Austrian Court, is
Willing away the sultry summer
days at Iowa's Capital. This is o
truly great, glorious and generous
country when it cheerfully gives
thousands of dollars yearly to men
for doing nothing.
The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Times writes as fol-
lows: AS Chandler beloved the
propositions enunciated by him he
was grotesquely in earnest and so
mlnstrelish as he pounded the desk
and dropped his glasses at every
period that Republicans as we'll as
Democrats laughed heartily at
every thrilling point. Conkling
was especially amused. He burst
out laughing several times al
Chandler assuming the RESPONSE
bility of closing up the Timber
jawed extra session.
Mr.. Chandler numbered his
points as he went, the Springfield
Republican remarks, and some Of
his charges were received with
laughter on the Democratic side
"You may laugh gentlemen" sait
Mr.. Chandler, cat what 1 say, but
the loyal people of the North will
make you laugh out of the othel
side of your mouth" This illum'
mates the soul OF old Zach's patriot
ism-and we have revealed an
hours confessed clap-trep uttered
in the UGited States Senate cham
ber to fire the Northern heart.
The Buffalo Courier paragraphs
thus: 1t is charged by the Wash
ington correspondent of the N. Y.
Evening Post that Mr.. Conkling
tried indirectly TO obstruct the Qui-
nine Bill although he took no open
position against it--Collector
Marks, of Louisiana, against whom
serious charges were made few
weeks ago, and whose removal was
about decided upon, seems to have
saved his head. He went to Wash
ington and showed the President
and Secretary Of the Treasury that
he was one of the Hayes electors in
Louisiana, and did his share of the
work In stealing that State.
