The various projects of tho Presi-
Dental aspirants to buy oil Grant
with the Presidency of some great
canal or railroad company don't seem
to pan out very wei, and now it is
proposed to stop the boom by making
Grant Captain General for life with a
salary of $25,OOO year. The offer is
a very tempting one, but there is great
doubt of the ability of the high con-
tracing parties to deliver the consid-

The Irish Agitation In London.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-The gathering in
Hyde Park to-day in response to q
call for an organized demonstration in
faqor of the Irish agitators, consisted
of an immense mob. A fair sprinkling
of green favors was observable, but
by far the greater number Of persons
present seemed to be attracted more
by curiosity than sympathy.
A goodly number of bands of music
enlivened the march from Trafalgar
Square and many banners were dis
played, but not all of these belonged
to the Home Rule Associations.
The procession was swollen by the
Tichborne Release Association, the
Democratic Workingmen's Climb and
similar bodies not in any manner con-
nected with Irish agitation. The or
ators of these associations addressed
separate groups while the main meet
ing was in progress in the park. One
of the principal speakers of the Irish
sympathy meeting proper was Will
liam Archer Redmond, Home Rule
member of Parliament for Wexford.
The speakers here were surrounded
by dense throng, which cheered SO
enthusiastically as to render the
speeches utturly inaudible except,
perhaps, to those on the stand. The
resolutions protesting against the re.
cent arrests of Irish agitators and fa-
yoring the present proprietary in Ire
land were carried by acclamation. The
less noted speakers, particularly those
at the side meetings, used most sedi-
tious language, and their utterances
seemed to create much amusement.
The authorities had apparently taken
no precautions Whatever for the main
tenance of order. Only about three
policemen were in the vicinity of the
meeting. When darkness came on the
throng dispersed and the delegations
marched back to their respective head
quarters with their bands playing
various Irish airs,

tarrh, plains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become n
poisonous infection, at first local, and
finally yconstitutiona1.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection
is beyond the reach of mere local
remedies.
5. That Impurities in the nostrils. are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia. Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis,
Lcucorrhna. and Consumption.
S. That Smokes. Douches, Inhalations.
and Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the or

6. That an antidote for Catarrh must
! possess IN inocu1ative affinity for, and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulent
mucous wherever located.

The Republican National Conven-
ton which was held in the city of
Chicago in 1860 and nominated Abra.
ham Lincoln for President, adopted
the following resolution as one of the
principal articles of its political creed !:
ResolDed, That the maintenance in
violate of the rights of the States, and
especially the right of each State to
order and control Its own domestic in
stitutions according to its oUn judg.
ment Exclusively, is essential to that of
po,Oer ON uhich the perfection and en-.
durance of our political fabric de-
pend"
When the hoodlums of that party
are bowling themselves hosrse about
the doctring of State Rights being the
cause of the late war let them call to
mind the above declaration of their
party upon the snbject. Never has
Democratic Convention declared
more ultra doctrine upon the subject.

REPUBLICANS,
DEMOCRATS.

Judging by the elections held thus
far the Republicans are reasonably
certain to gain five Senators-from
Connecticut, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania-while the
Democrats will gain but one In place
of Bruce, from Mississippi. There is
yet hope of New York, however, and
possibly for New jersey. But admit.
ting the loss of both these States there
will remain Democratic majority of
one vote, and by the exclusion of Kel-
logg from Louisiana, who has no right
to the seat he occupies, there will be
majority of three. We see no means
by which the Republicans can regain
their lost power in the Senate, though
it will be necessary at all times when
political questions are involved that
every Democrat should be in his seat.
AS for the next House we see no
reason for anxiety. There is no doubt
but the Republicans will make a tre-
mendoua effort to regain power in that
body. They are now in a minority of
four, reckoning all the Greenbackers
as op their side. They will doubtless
regain the districts they lost at the last
Congressional election in Maine and
Iowa, but here their prospects end,
while the Democrats have q good
chance of gaining from the Republi-
cans in several of the closely contested
districts, especially in New Y York, Hi.
nois and Indiana. There is scarcely a
district at present represented by a
Democrat that can be lost to that par
ty unless by the pursuance of a policy
of utter recklessness.
In the prospect there is nothing that
should discourage any Democrat.
There is every indication not only
that the party will maintain its ascen-
dency in both houses of Congress, but
that it will elect and inaugurate the
next President of the United States.
Wise counsels should prevail, howev-
er, in all things. A single blunder at
q critical moment may sacrifice all.
We need perfect harmony in the party,
a thorough organization, and energet-
ic, untiring work. If we neglect these
we deserve defeat; if we attend strict
ly to them, we will win success.

De la MATYR, the Indiana Greenbacker,
has been doing good service in Maine, alike
| for the Lord and the Grcenbacker. Having
concluded his weeks labor on the stump
he reached Portland, Saturday evening, and
yielding to the solicitations Of GreenbacE
friends, consented TO preach in one OF
the leading churches, if itwould be entirely
agreeable all around. But il was agreeable
only half way around, for the Republican
members Of the congregation put their
feet down." and talked about blocking the
asles with dead bodies before such sacre-
ligious purpose should be consummated!
These Republican puritans not only refused
to allow tho Hoosier Grccnbacker to preach
in their church, but refused, after having
been thercunto requested, to announce from
their pulpits that De La Matyr had
hired hall, and would preach,
though all the aislcs of all the churches of
Portland were blocked against his entrance
And preach Mr.. De La Matyr did. His hall
was .jammed with the best people of Port
land, and, wonderful 10 tell, he did not
make even the slightest allusion to The
pending political contest. His discourse
Won a fervcnt, earnest scriptural talk that
was FOR him the congratulations Of friends
and the good will of all who heard him.
This fact going abroad among the people,
the denunciations that We're heaped upon
the over-Godly Republican ring that sought
to gag Il proclaimer Of the
true faith, We're frequent and seycre-came
armed with the tooth of q serpent and the
sting of an adder-apd more richly de-
served rebuke was never administered any
where. De La Matyr made gospel ten
strike; while the ring Of Republican tana-
tics with which he had 10 do, uncovered
their true inwardness 70 the rcpy5ot and
condemnation OF liberal minded people

While Judge Logan of Springfield, Ill.
was Lincoln's partner, two farmers, who
had a misunderstanding respecting horse
trade, went TO law. BY mutual consent the
partners in law became antagonists IN this
case. On the day of the trial Mr.. Logan,
having bought new shit, open in the
back, with a huge standing collar, dressed
himself in extreme haste and put On TIE

coat concealing the blunder. He dazzled
the Jury with his knowledge Of horse
points," and as the day was sultTy took of
lis coat and summed upin his shirt sleeves.
Lincoln sitting behind him, took in the sit
uation, and when his turn came, said 10
the jury Gentlemen, Mr.. Logan has been
trying for over an hour 10 make you believe
that he knows more about horse than

THE name of Rev. /. S. Kalloch having
gained considerable prominence by the re-
cent tragedy IN San Francisco, it is well
enough to remind the reader who he is
and what he was. He entered the ministry
as a Baptist preacher in Boston, something
over % years ago. He was, as correctly
stated by an exchange, accused Of visiting
taverns incog, and drinking whisky skins
and INDUCING in other excuses, with
female companions. He was tried but not
convicted. Believing, however, that the
gravity and notoriety of the charges against
him had destroyed his usefulness, Mr.. Kal-
loch quit the ministry, left Boston, and
made his home IN Kansas, where he prac.
ticed law and made some stir in politics
After a time Mr.. Kalloch removed TO Cali
fornia, where he had become very active il
political agitations His aggressive spirit
aroused enemies against him, who revived
the old Boston scandal. He denounced the
authors, and then ensued his assassination
