Senator Wallace is still feeling for flaws in the
Rhode Island statutes. Mr.. Davenport would like
10 see him IN New-York. During his brief soiourn
here the Senator forgot to inspect that collection OF
iron-cages and handouts used to ntlmldate Demo-
cratic voters which is so conspicuous that several
Democratic Senators saw IL from Washington with
the naked eye. Mr.. Davenport would ike to eX-

The VictsJTg Herald is apparently the only paper
in MSslsslpp with enough TO see the bearings
of the Yazoo outrage on the welfare of the state
and on public opinion at the North, aud with
courage enough TO denouuce the affair 1t deserves

Mr.Dorsheimer told "Gath' the other day that he
had had an understanding with Judge Church for

revoutionize Democratic State politics. however.
It amounts 70 nothing more than that DOrshelmer
is heartily with the Judge if he wants to make
trial Tor the GubernatOral nomination. Dor
sheimer is not perfectly sure, however, that the
Judge has consented to run. He says: 90 think
he Is looking the prospect at present, Yet 1t Is
