General .. o. Howard has been suggested
as q suitable person 10 be placed in charge At

rights. The Boston Pdsf says there are . good
many of the colored brethren around about

The Philadelphia Times says that Senator
Mcpherson, of New Jersey, believes in handing
the good things around. He declines to be del
egate at large to Cincinnati, on the ground that

belong to others" This is the proper view to
take We doubt, and always did, the propriety
of sending members OF Congress Is delegates 10
National Conventions.
The New York Sun says the Democracy of
New York adheres to Mr. Tilden solely and ex-
clusively because he was elected President Of the
United States in 1879, and because he and they
were cheated out of the election. and they are
for his nomination now not because they love
him personally, but because they believe in the
right of selfgoverpment, and wish to vindicats
the right in 1880 in the most emphatic manner
possible
This is the Nations suggestive comment on
Grants Cairo speech: As regards the Southern
whites themselves they will probably remember
that General Grant went into the Presidency
with the motto, Let US have peace; that he
waged war against them by means both constitu-
tioDal and unconstitutional during eight years;
and that they never had any real peace till they
got rid Of him. Here is one fact for them TO
steady themselves by. in this day of strange
paradoxes."
LIMA BEANS WITHOUT PoLNe.-The Lima
bean, says the Wilmington Reriesc, is not as gen.
orally grown as il should be, on account of the
trouble of procuring the poles and polling them.
Recent experiments, however, have proved that
by adopting the following plan this most deli
cious Of all beans may be raised without polling
at all When the tendrils begin 10 start nip
them of, continuing 10 do so as often as any ap-
pear The plants will then assume low bushy
growth, and become loaded with early matur-
ing pods
1T is rumored that Postmaster General Key
is TO resign 10 take a United States Judgeship in
Tennessee, and that Postmaster James of New
York, stands an excellent chance of being made
his successor Mr. James is a model officer and
his appointment would give general satisfaction
as an earnest Of thorough and efficient admin
istration Of the postofice department. The
machine politicians who infest the White House
will, however, oppose him with all their might,
for he would undoubtedly put an end to the ex-
travagance which now prevails in this depart
meni Of the public service.
III the people Of Pennsylvania will stand
such an outrage as the threatened pardon Of the
Kemble crowd, they deserve 10 be governed by
that gang o! scoundrels for the next fry years,
but ii almost passes belief that the wrong can be
committed.-BOston Herald Well, the "gang
OF scoundrels" has been pardoned, and now let
US see what the people of Pennsylvania will say
about it, One of the scoundrels" W. H. KEN.

Returning Board count. He found everything

"A Washington dispatch says: Colonel Nc
Clure, editor of the Times, who was an eye wiz
ness Of the Harrisburg Democratic Convention
says that the delegation TO Cincinnati 10 neither
TIldcn nor Hancock delegation, and that
both Wallace and Randall are quite content It
should be just as il is. II is not for Tilden, it
never will be for Tilden, and they both know IT.
1t is not for Hancock, il never will be for Han
cock unless Tilden shall favor the Pennsylvania
soldier, and lhay both understand it. 1t is az
nearly an independent delegation outside of
Philadelphia is possible these days, and
nearly or quite all of them would support ither
Wallace or Randall in anything that is just. This
unit rule has been discarded, mainly because the
Tden men, who could not control the deleRa-
ton, joined the large class who did not want
Tiden or any one else 10 direct the vote of the
State, and both Wallace and Randall would be
more than mortals or politicians IL they had not
been ready to reverse the positions Tor agAinst
the unit rule, as political interests dictated"
