WASHINGTON. APRIL 90, 1880.
"BUcKLER OF THE NORTH" is the Swed-
sh for NoRDENsKJoLD.
Mr.. GLADSTONE kissed the hand of the
Queen upon being appointed Chancellor of
the Exchequer. Fancy JOIN SHERMAN
kissing the hand of President HAYES upon
being made Secretary of the Treasury!
ONE North Carolina colored family is
determined to rise in the world. 1t was
represented in Newbern last week by two
girls, aged sixteen and seventeen years, each
barely under seven feet high. Their mother
is seven feet four inches.
SOUTHERN Democrats seem to be quite !
relieved by the Straightout victory in the
Virginia Republican convention. The RAJ
leigh OJscrrc, says: "Nothing could make |
"us feel more comfortable than toknow that
"the plans ofMAHoNEin Virginia have failed
ITO meet with success"
WE learn that letter from General
LONGsTREET has heen received in this city |
which states that General GRANT has
twelve of the Georgia delegation certainly, |
with fair chance of others. Other advices
state that thirteen of the delegates are posi-
lively for General GRANT.
THERE is class of men who are unhappy |
unless they can disapprove Of something.
They disapproye of GRANT, also of BLAINE,
also of SHERMAN. In State affairs they dis
approve of whoever leads-CoNKLING, in
New York; CAMERON, of Pennsylvania;
LOGAN, of Illinois; CARPENTER, in Wiscon-
sin.
CURPoRAL- CADET FRANK B. ANDRUs
testifies that he would rather be reduced to
the ranks than to be obliged to fall in"
with Cadet WHITAKER. Perhaps if An
DRUs had then been reduced to the ranks
of private citizen the result would have
been beneficial to the Academy, and no
loss to the army Of the future.
IF the statements of 81. L. W." in the
New York Tribune are to be credited Sen
ator BLAINE has ceased to be free and in
dependent man. In other words, if he
wanted the Presidency his friends
would positively refuse to permit it,"
Heretofore the Senator has been regarded
as free and independent citizen.
-----
GENERAL GRANT has already standing to
his credit Mt least $50 votes in the Conven-
tion, and the dance is not fully opened yet
If everybody will keep cool aud let the
people solve this problem, all will be we'll.
If a majority of the Republican party do
not want General GRANT, we stand with
that majority when it shall have spoken,
The New York Tribune asks: If strong
"man is not needed why have q third
term? ?" That is fair enough query, and
it is easily answered. The people will not
have third term" unless the majority SO
desire and determine, and if they shall Sc
desire and determine then that is sufficient
reason for it being done. The Tribune
chafes itself necdlessly in chasing this ignis
fatuus
THE sequel of the DE YoUNG-KALLoCE
difficulty is tragical enough In the first
place, DE Young assailed the memory ol
KALLoCn's dead father, Then KALLoCH
retorted upon DE YoUNGs mother. This
was followed hy the shooting of KALLocn
by DE YOUNG and now KALLoCH's son
shoots DE Young and kills him. Thus
ends an emeute alike dsgracelul to all
parties.
SENATOR BLAINE is still sappng and
mining the SHERMAN citadel IN Ohio, and
thus far has 2O2 delegates in the State con.
vcntion to 157 for SHERMAN, according tC
the Cleveland Leader In this calculation
BLAINE is credited with Cuyahoga county't
thirty-Gve delegates while the Herald says
its vote will be cast for JOHN SHERMAN
One or the other of these statements mus
be erroneous.
