TINS New York Tribune has a spe-
cial to the effect that Grant has written
his friends at Philadelphia that he will
in no event allow his name to 60 be-
fore the Chicago Convention, having
fully determined not TO become a can
didate for the Presidency. This, of
course, is bosh. Grant is candidate
and will be the Republican nominee.
And IL defeated, as he will he, will call
upon his man, Hayes, to return his
favor by centering the army at Wash
ington, and, by threats and menaces,
attempt to intimidatc the Democrats
to submit to another "cheat and swim
die commission"
SECRETARY of State Churchill has
resigned, and it is said that the Gov
ernor will appoint his brother, jim
Blackburn, 10 the position. Jim is

amount. 1t is his own fault il he is
not Soldier of fortune"
The cowardly, policy seeking, time
servers of the Senate voted on Tues

the whipping post bill, when it came

nor ever be elevated to any post
either of honor or profit.
Hon. PHTL b. THOMPSON, JR.,
presided over the House of Represen-
tatives, a few days ago, with marked
ability, being called to the chair by
Speaker Randall. He is, perhaps,
the youngest member ever so honored,
fact which goes to prove the high
esteem in which he is held in Con-
gress.
THE State news column Of the
Comrier-Jownol is decidedly a poor
excuse except when il is taken bodily
from the Bowling Green Intelligeneer.
