The KelIogg-spofford Case.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-It is gener-
ally believed the death If judge Spoffol
will terminate the contest of VIM. Pitt
Kellogg to retain his seat in the Senate.
The Democratic Senator at the last
session of Congress were divided in
opinion as to the legality of declaring
Kellogg's seat vacant. The cleaI est pre- Of
OF bis untitness to retain q seat in the
Senate was given and able arguments
were made to show the power of the
Senate to oust him. The report of the
committee was not acted upon. The
Baltimore Sun says: "Ipformation receiv-
ed from Louisiana to-day ssto the
effect that the movement against Kel-
logs tenure will be pressed without
abatement. 1t is sgid that the ground
will be taken that the death Of Judge
Sp' fford has created vacancy and that
the Governor Of Louisiana should
appoint person to fill the vacancy who
vii come on to Washington and press
the case" The death of Mr.. Spofford can
not of course, have any effect to prevent
the Senate if it so chooses from declaring
That MIR, Kellogg vas not legally elected
and is not entitled to the seat but it may
be questioned whether the Governor of
Louisiana would undertake to act in the
manner suggested in adv ance of the Sem
att's action. s-tt.,

FORMER sTANCH REPUBLICAN TO
PRESIDE AND TO INTRODUCED GEN.
BUTLER.
BosToN, Aug 27.-The Hon. Albert
Palmer has been selected to preside at
the Faneuil Hall meeting tomorrow
evenii g, and will introduce Gen. But
Ter in short speech. Mr.. Palmer has
been for nearly ten years a member OF
tie Massachusetts Legislature, serving
several terms in the Senate, and upon
the most important committees. He
has been Republican until last year.
when he joined the Independent move
ment in favor of Gen. Batter, and presi-
ded over the Independent Convention in
Worcester. He has for years been one
OF the most active and eloquent speak
ers upon the Republican stump. Last
year he as subjected to many indigni-
ties and insults by Republican news
papers and by speakers whom he had
helped to position and influence. 1t
was then predicted that he would be
again found In the ranks of the radicals
this year, and the fact that he is to come
out squarely for Hancock will arouse a
deal Of bitterness on the part OF for
mer political ass oeiates. He refuses TO
be whipped in howeAer, and his well
come IN the Hancock ranks will be fully
equal TO Republican chagrin at his
disafiection.

CURTIN ON HANCOCK.
HE WILL BE A MODEL PREsIDENT.

HE WILL BE MODEL PRECEDENT.
Press interview with ex-Gov. Curtin.
You know Hancock we'll, of
course?'
81 know him intimately and his
family. l have had social relations
with him, giving me an opportunity
to estimate the man. His greatness
as a soldier no man questions and no
man who knows him doubts his abili-
Ties for civil management. If elected,
he will make one of the best Presi-
dents the country has ever had. His
administration will be characterized
by the same strength of Jackson's,
without the Objectionable violence;
besides, he will give us a clean admin
istration of the government"
"Dut, Governor, can he control the
worst elements of the party ?'
"Certainly he can," replied Cover
nor Curtain, land will. General Han
cock was, you must remember, nomi-
mated in Difference to the loyal senti-
ment in the Democratic party. He
represents that sentiment better than
any man IN this country, and without
which the Democracy is powerless, and
it now recognizes that fact very clear
ly. A very large portion of those who
went into the army were Democrats,
having as much love for the Union as
any men Tint bore arms. This element
holds the balance of power in theDe
ocratic party, and to that element it
will owe it's success.
eyes, sir" replied the old Cover
nor, with great emphasis. eff Ham
cock is elected he will resist, and be in
a position to successfully resist, any
sectional demands which may be made
upon him or any sectional policy which
may be demanded. He will be strong
and seek to be strong in the conf
dence of the war Democrats, to whom
he will owe his election, if elected"
"Then you believe he will be elec-
ted ?"
81 most certainly do," replied the
Governor. "Of course, as remarked
before, it will be hard fight and too
early yet to brag much as to what the
result will be. l make these predic-
tions, however, in regard to Hancock's
position if he should be elected that

POLE RAISING AND SOME SOLID
SPEAKING FOR HANCOCK AND
ENGLISH.
The pole-raising by the John p.
Almond Democratic Club of South
Wilmington, last night, was a sue
cessful affair of itself, while the at
tendance of some of the campaipn
clubs from the north side of the
river made the demonstration assume
imposing proportions.
The pole was successfully raised
early in the evening, and then the
Almond Club marched over to
Fourth and Walnut streets, to meet
some OF the visiting clubs. The lat
ter comprised the Bayard Club, the
Young Mems Democratic Club. and
a delegation of the Tenth Ward
Hickory Club. The parade pro-
ceeded across Third street bridge,
and marched around the principal
streets of South Wilmington, headed
by the Millard Military Band. Dur
ing the parade South Wilmington
people turned out and cheered most
enthusiastically, while many of the
houses were illuminated Ill a hand

A noticeable feature of the parade
was the Bayard Club, which turned
out for the first time in it's new uni
form. Seventy uniformed men were
in line, marshalled by VIM. b. Nor
ton, and presented handsome ap-
pearance with their metal helmets,
and brilliant torches. lf.
The parade finally reached the
Almond Clubs headquarters, on
New Castle Avenue, near Lobdell
street, when the flag was run up to
the top of the pole, which lowered
up, straight and symmetrical, eighty
feet above the ground, while the
crowd, which by this time numbered
about fifteen hundred people, en-
Enthusiastically cheered.
Then a meeting was org lniZed, with

Joshua Pyle Secretary. Harry Sharp

for three-quartcrs Of ali hour. He al
luded to the brilliant military record of
Gen. Hancock, and to his eminent quail
tiles of statesma ship, as displayed by
his famous Louisiana orders, his letter
Of acceptance, aud, his letter to Gen.
s herman. Democratic Soldiers, the
speaker said, should be honored by the
Democratic party, as their chances of
promotion were few under Republican
administrations, no matter what merits
they might possess.
