Political Notes.

Ex-Secretary Boutwell, Is out for Grant in
1850.
The Chicago Tribune thinks Gen. Hancock
is the coming man for the democracy.
- The Springfield CMasS.) Republican thinks
the south has now chance to make its own
candidate, and that Mr.. Bayard ought to be the
man.
- The Cincinnati Gazette advises the democ-
racy to nominate Mr.. Groesbeck in 1850.
The Nashville american (dern.) says Grant is
conspicuously fond of saying a word to the old
"soldiers of both armies" as If he. expected
many Mosbys and Longstreets in the next can
VaSS.
"Where are Wallace and Randall? Are they
not coming to the front? They can't do much
against the present republican tide, but have
they nothing to say for the democracy OF the
future?"

THE POLYGAMY CRCULAR.-The Department
of State has advices Of the favorable reception
by the British and German governments of the
recent circular issued by the United States call
ing attention to the determination of this gov
ernment to prosecute all persons engaged in
poygamouS practices, and informing them o
the presence of agents amongst their subjects
making converts to this sect. 1t appears that
about the time of the issue of this circular the
number of proselytes shipped to this country
was unusually large. Reports from the consular
officers at the principal points Of shipment OF
this class of people state that the police are en-
ergetically at work to stop this emigration by a
ment to arrest and prosecute emigrants of this
sect Immediately upon their arrival upon these
shores. The Secretary of State now feels that
with the cooperation Of the governments adj
world will be entirely cut of, and with the en-
ergetic measures now being enforced In Utah
the whole system will speedily crumble to pieces.

To PROTECT THE CAPITOL FROM MALARIA
Architect Clark, of the Uniied States Capitol
building, says that If Congress will adopt the
plan he suggests in his annual report (printed
heretofore in THE starr, of planting row OF
trees on the low lands south of the House wing
that he will guarantee that the air which pene-
trateS the hall OF the House will be much p,lren
His theory is that the malaria which at certain
seasons OF the year impregnateS the air, come,
from the Potomac flats, and is waited directly to
the Capitol building. Should his plan be adopted,
he says that the trees would not only defilect the
air currents but would, at the same time, purify
the atmosphere because 1t is well-settled n.y.
genie rule that Vegetation abSorbs, to great eX-
tent, the poisonous gases OF the air. He thinks,
too, that the proposed plan would not only re-
Heve the present eye-Sore which meets the vision
looking south from the House wing, but that 1t
would lead eventually to Congress acquiring the
ground. as he thinks it should, and the enlarge
ment and additional ornamentation OF the Capt.
tol park. NJ Clarke will endeayor to have the
Joint committee on public buildings and grounds
recommend legislation looking to these suggested
ana needed Improvements.
