THEODORE TnTON goes to Germany to
be gone two years. We have no extra
ditiOn treaty which works with that
country. We do not want one, at pres
emit.
THE editor of the indianapolis Sentinel
floats the Hendricks Presidential flag.
and he is the most lonely and fOrlOrn
journalist in America. Nobody cares for
Hendricks now.
GEORGE p. Marsh is United States
Minister to Italy, and has been for nine
teen years; and he has never come home,
once, for instructions or repairs during
all that time.
The average candidate for the presi-
dency is beginning to would that he had
never been born. The rascally editors
are printing his portrait-so-called-in
the newspapers.
THE House committee on banking and
currency has decided to report bill re-
pealing that clause of the internal rev.
enue law which requires twO-cent
stamps on bank checks.
THE great decline in iron would indi-
cate that the rapid rise was caused more
BY speculation than by any legitimate
demand. Last week the price fell ten
dollars per ton, twenty-five per cent.
THE Hon. John W. Garret, of Balti-
more, says that letter purpOrting to
come from him, addressed to the Gull
pepper Va.) Times, and declaring his
willingness to accept the Democratic
nomination for the presidency in case
Speaker Randall cannot get it, is a for
gerry.
The amount of postage stamps. stamp
ed envelopes and postal cards issued to
p0stmasters upon acquisitions during
the past nine months Of the present f1s-
cal year aggregate in value $23,979, 1856,
an increase over the issues for the cor
responding nine months of the previous

THE mercantile agency Of r. G. Dun
& Co. reports the failures for the first
three months Of the present year at 1, 400
against $500 for the first three months
Of 1879, and $500 for the first three
months of 1878. The liabilities for the
first quarter Of 1880 are 100000
against 100000 for the same period
of 1879, and 100000 for the first quar-
ter of 1873. The agency draws attention
to the fact that these figures indicate a
steady continuance of favorable cOndi-
tons for the trade of the country.
| THE Irishmen of the country are be-
ginning to inquire why they should vote
the Democratic ticket so unanimously.
As result they find that party in the
past have been directly opposed to many
Of the interests of the poor man, and as
q consequence Irish clubs are being
organized in different sections and de-
clare their intentions of voting here
after without regard to the dictations of
the Democratic party. One club in POr-
ter County. Indiana, numbers $50 mem
bers. Without the support of the Irish
men Of the land where will the
Democracy be?
Ar the Rhode Island State election, on
the 18th, no one Of the candidates for
Governor or Lieutenat Governor received
q clear majority of all the votes and
there is therefore TO election. The LegiS-
lature which was chosen will now have
to elect a Governor and Lieutenant
Governor. 1t is largely Republican, and
is certain to elect Alfred H. Littlefield
who was the Republican candidate fol
Governor. There were four tickets in
the feld-Republican, Democratic, Pro-
hibitiOn and Greenback. 1t is thought
the Legislature will re-elect Burnside
| to the United States Senate,
The discussion on the rider to the
army bill in the House Thursday of last
week served to develop the lack of cOur.
age upon the part of the Democratic ma
jOrity to fairly meet the issue by them
raised. The provisO is, in fact, an at
tempt to abridge the authority conferred
upon the President by the Constitution
to execute the laws and maintain order
Upon that the Republicans in vain essay
ed to secure opportunity for debate, and
until the hour Of adjournment fillibus
tering was kept up to cut of. NOsucf
tactics, however, can conceal from TIT
country the true purpose of the rider
nor that it is yet another step toward
indirect notification.
THE Supreme Court of Illinois has de
cided that the Bible may be read in tn,
public schools if the directors so decree
: and that all the pupils must obey tn,
rules respecting the exercise. The tes
case was one where the directors ordered
fifteen minutes reading of the Bible
each morning, and required the scholars
to refrain from studying during tina
|, time. A Catholic father objected to sucl
religious instruction as not belonging
to the public school system, and bad
his boy study. The boy studied, and wa
. expelled. The lower court ruled the ex
, pulsiOn proper on the score of dis
obedience, and the higher authority sus
tains that view.
i. The rapid development of wool manu-
features in the United States is disclosed
by the kilograms to the daily papers
These announce that the high price
which ruled at the late English WOO
sales were due to the large orders from
American manufacturers. In the Brit
{ ish market they actually run up tn
, price OF raw material upon English man
, ufacturers. 1t is noted also that entir
/ mill establishments are being removes

, the United States, and that the skillel
wOrkmen also come with the ma
chinery. In this way the manufacture
Of carpets seems being rapidly transfer
red to this country.
! The Democratic majority of the Hous
