POLITICAL NOTES.

NetO NO s Is also u CclJre snOt. NcNI1
The Sherman wave rose clear inch on Wednes-
day.
Chamerss declaration of war was premature as
we'll as windy.
Little Sammy Cox is immortaized at Iast-em-
balfned III veto
The appearance of Springer at the front is sure
sign of fresh Democratic bunder.
Ohio has sounded the battle-crv for 1880:
Honest elections and honest money!
Tilden to Thurman: Go in, brother, III see to it
that you get handsomely whipped"
For the third time Mr.. Hayes kindly gives the
Democrats the opportunity ~ commence over again.
Who ever expected to see the Democracy become
bad that Fernando Wood would run away from It'll
The only question with Thurman is whether there
is less misery in public or Il private political
funeral
This day is not desecrated by a session OF the Con-
federate Congress, for which mercy let the country
give thanks!
Wallace has set that coffee pot at work again.
This time he Is turning out bogus testimony in
stead of bogus certificates.
II is time for Senator Barnum to revise his figures.
A million votes will not begin to cover the Demo
cratic loss II Congress holds out much longer.
There is some talk in ONO of resurrecting Orig
inal Rise-up William Allen again, to run against
Foster. Tilden would be glad to help defeat him
again, doubtless.
II looks rs if the Ohio Republicans would hold
mass convention and nominate Thurman for the
Democratic candidate by acclamatiOn amid I'M
quenchable enthusiasm.
This being Decoration Day, the Democratic party
will pull out the barbcd vetoes that are ranking in
various portions of It's anatomy, and decorate its
wounds with Mustang iiniment.
The Democratic campaign has begun with energy.
Negroes trying to get away are detained on the
banks OF the Mississippi and steamboat owners are
threatened with death If they carry them North.
Mr. Foster is not the only Republican who has
become a Stalwart from sad experience. The Solid
South has made thousands of such converts during
the past year. and II is making thousands more from
Northern Democrats aud independents each day.
IF Mast wants TO do a good thing he should fur
nish cartoon OF Henry Watterson teaching Tommy
TO ride behind is The Iadqpapoiis JomRdPs view
of the situation. But IL will not answer to have
Thurman and Hendricks on the same ticket.
When Senator Wallace brings his lOp-sided COM
mittec to NewYOrk for the purpose of getting some
more Democratic testimony on the election of 1876,
he might prOftably summon some OF the faithful
from Jersey City and inquire how that $4,000
check from Cipher Alley was utilized.
If General Chalmers has actually been so wild as
to advise the Governor OF Mississippi to intercept
all steamboats, carrying cOlored passengers north
ward, and to arrest their captains, 1t is barely
possible, after all, that he may, in moment of
inadvertence, have got mixed up IN that Fort PHI
low unpleaSantness.
Humans factotum, Thompson. admits that the
former has not consented to be the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio but says the party
will force him to b. whether he wishes to OF not.
Poor Thurman! lie claims that he is sick now and
does not feel able 10 endure the Ii he
he will feel good deal sckef long before the cam
paign ends
The Iowa Democrats spread a beautiful net for
the Greenbackers, put choice collection of bait in
side of it, and posted up notice that if the latter
would enter they would be permitted to have their
own way in managing the household Whereupon
the GreenbackeTs smelt around a little, turned up
their noses, and started establishment of their
own across the way. Total result, an Increased lie
publican majority III Iowa next Fall.
Randall has done a coed many small things
lately, but he never appeared more contemplate
than when he set ridiculous Mr. Springer in the
Speakers chair and used him a dummy for a
foolish and unnecessary bunder. Nothing more
clearly shows that the Speaker is badly afflicted
with the Presidential mania than his facility IN
putting his foot in il. Ho hasn't missed an opp0r-
tunty for q blunder since this session began, and
oitentlmes he has met the opportunity more than
half way
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives is
trying to tlud out what became or TZoUOO worth OF
stationery paid for last session 1t turns OFT that
none of the members took any more stationery than
they could got; but some of the stationery de-
lyered in the form of carpets. and the six athletic
scrub-women used up an average of fifteen brooms
n day. Nobody seems to know anything about any
thing wrong. But the Legislature now IN session
has reduced the appropriations some @35O,OOO.
Monday, the 2Gth, the anniversary of Lees sur
render, was Decoration Day in the Sodth. In
Louisville. after tho Confederate graves had been
bonored with flowers Colonel W. G. Z. Breekn-
ridge delivered the eulOgy, and said " lay my
hand upon my heart, and lit my eyes to God, and
in the name of this assembage avow that this
homage il in honor of martyrs to liberty. who died
for tho night, and gave their lives i'll defence OF the
truth" and that republic of States can be pre-
served only on the principles on which the Con-
federacy was founded.
There is curious and direct antagonism between
most of the Southern statesmen and the Southern
newspapers on the question of backdown. All the
oblest Southern journals are earnestly opposing
any plan of payty action which includes starving
the Army or coorcing the President. They declare
that such action would ruin the party, and conse-
oucntly greatly injure tho South. The leading
southern statesmen, like Beck, Ill., Chalmers.
blackburn and Others, oud-mou thed In favor of
staryaTion, revolution, and general disturbance,
know which represents the South more correctly,
It's press or its Congressional delegation.
Some of the Hendricks fuglemen in Indiana are
case Thurman runs for Governor of Ohio. They
SAY if he is elected no will at become tho most
prominent Western Democratic candidate for the
