POLITICIL NOTES.

EX'CoNGREssMAN Fox, who has inst re.
turned from Europe, is opposed to the peace
negotiations now going on between Tammany

not be smoked all around.
THE Richmond Vhig calls on the democratic
national committee "to order out of the field"
the "fundcr, Hugh McCuloch brokers' ticket"
and declares that this action alono will mako
all things pleasant in Virginia.
BUTLER in 1872, in his campaign speeches.
fearfully arraigned " the democratic party for
its oppression Of the negro" And now he in.

A BALTIMORE paper that suspended publ.
cation in 1861 for time shortly after the

THE Herald we'll inquiries what arc Senator

South Carolina and Virginia melting the peo.
pie OF that section against the people of the
northH Why are they not in New York, Con-
necticut, New Jersey aud Indiana preaching

No figures ye. from Arkansas of the vote
on the repudiating constitutional amendment.
The truth appears to be that a majority of
the votes cast on IL were in its favor, but
largo number OF ballots for state officers were
blank as regards the amendments Tho con.
sequence is that the blanks all count against
it, the adoption requiring a majority OF all
votes cast at the election.
THE democratic lie that d. l.. Russell, pres.
ent republican member of congress from the
third congressional district of North Carolina,
would vote for Hancock, is squelchcd by the
following letter in answer to a friend in this
city:
WIIMiSGToN y. C., Sept. s, 1880.
DEAR SIR: Yours is received. The report that
would support Hancock Is without foundation. l
do not know who started II. ! shall vote for Gem
Gral Garfield, as have stated from the beginning.
Very truly yours, ID. l.. RUSSELL.

CONGRESSMAN AIKEN has been making
speech in Anderson county, South Carolina, in
the course of which he gives his democratic
brethren of the north some severe slaps He
says that "the better class of the people in the
north are republicans" and they possess
the brains, the money aud the culture of that
section of the country" This and other cx.
prossions OF like tenor has aroused tho iro of
the Charleston Neps which tells Mr.. Aiken "if
he cannot work in harmony with the demo.
cratic party he should withdraw from the race
as democratic candidate for congress and give
chance to som democrat who will not
quarrel with his bread aud butter"
