TELEGRAPHIc ITEMS.

for the nrst time in many years, at last
has become an issue in the politics of
New York City. William r. Grace,
the Democratic candidate for Mayor, is
Roman Catholic, the intimate friend
of John Kelly and of Cardinal Nc
Closksy. and Protestants seem to have
taken the alarm at the possible danger
to the cOmmon-school system. The
81, 900, 600 which are annually spent on
the New York common schools are dis
barsed by the Board Of Estimate and
AppoEtionment, consisting of the Mayor
and the Controller. A number of earnest
sermons were preached upon the ssb
iect to-day. Rev. DR.. Newman and
other clergymen took this topic, and
the tenor of their addresses seemed to
show the profound agitation of the pub
lie mind. Of course it would take a
large change in the vote to overcome
the difference between the Democratic
and the Republican votes. But there
is no telling what change a weeks agi-
tation on this subject may bring. Grace,
in his letter Of acceptance, tries to calm
it down by pledging himself IN favor of
keeping the cenmon-schools inviolate.-
At Stockton, California, James Court
urier vas wounded in the head by
pistol ball fired by Robers Bond,
youth of his own age. The latter sup
posed the weapon, small seven-shoot-
er, contained blank cartridges, and
when only two feet away fired at
Courturier. The ball stuck the bridge
of the nose, and glancing off enterad
the right eye, entirely destroying The
sight. The wound was probed but the
ball was not extracted. The boys were
en- the best of terms when the firing
was done. The wound Is not necessa-
rily fatal
Dispatches from Tennessee and Ken-
lucky are full of hope to the Repub.
hoans. In Tennessee two Tilden Elect
ers have come out for Garfield, and
there is large Democratic desertion
among the people. Rankings. Repub-
lican, is more than likely to be elected
Governor. In Kentucky two Repub-
lican Congressman will probably be re-
turned. The Republican National
Committee is earnestly recommended
to turn its attention to Tennessee. This
does not indicate very solid South.
A Washington dispatch. says: Much
excitement is being caused in political
circles by the exposure of the Rspub-
lican colonization scheme in Florida.
Jewell's kilograms are published, which
show conclusively that 500. repeaters
have already been shipped TO Florida.
Train loads of negroes from the West
and South are also pouring into Con-
necticut daily.
The Chicago Times says. The tame
ness of the arguments of the average
white stumper in comparison with the
appeals of negro canpaigners is wildly
shown by this extract frem the speech
of colored Republican preacher in In
dianapolis: IF any of you go back on,
the ticket next month, I'm afraid I
shall miss you ON the right hand OF the
great white throne"
I William r. Grace has accepted tha
Democratic nomination for Mayor OF
New York City. He says: 81 believe
that the common schools, established
by the people and esteemed by them as
their richest inheritance, should be
maintained inviolaD, and shall favor
liberal appropriations for their support. >"

tario. northeast and northwest of To-
ronto, report very rough weather, with

Rumor again has Il that Tilden is pre-
pairing some powerful documents in sup
port of Hancock, and will present the
Democratic National Committee with
check for SlOO,OOO.
