CHAIRMAN BARNuM has no hesitation in
speaking of English as the meanest, lit
tlest man in the nation"
SPRINGFIELD Republican "Wanted by
the majority A sure result. This swings
great floating vote over to the Republican
party"
The annual report of the national board
OF health states that the expenses were $780,.
900 of which $4,000 were expended by
the southern states.

ernor in Indiana are as follows: Porter,
Republican, 230,29l; Landers, Democrat,
222,74O Gregg, Greenbacker, 1853 plu-
rality for Porter, 1851.
BURLINGTON Review " The stock in trade
of the Vermont Democratic bosses seems to
be cheek, brag and buster. Nothing was
so effectual in the late campaign-in the
eyes of the ring managers-as an orator who
could wildly swing his arms and below like
bull calf"
CHAIRMAN BARNUM will go to much
warmer climate than Florida if he continues
to utter forged letters and construct lies out
of whole cloth after the reckless manner of
the past week. His Florida dispatch ex-
plot shows that he is working down to the
level of the sneak thief
Mr.. WENDELL PHILLIPS will not this sea-
son be able to begin his lectures before Jan
uary. Mrs. Phillips health is so precarious
that her husband is often forced to cancel
his lecturing engagements. He is still one
OF the most popular of speakers, and re-
ceives fee of $3.50 lecture.
CHARLES F. ADAMS, Jr., julius Seelye
and Wayne MacVeagh will address a meet
ing of Independent Republicans at Cooper
Institute, New York, on the 2Sth, advocat-
ing the election of General Garfield. Mr..
Adams remarks will be looked for with
special interest by Independents; he repre-
sents those who voted for Tilden in 1876. but
now favor Garfield.
JUDGE LAWRENCE Of New York, Satur-
day morning, on the application of the at,
torney of the Western Union telegraph COM
pany, granted an order to show cause, re-
turnable tomorrow, why an injunction
should not issue to restrain the Democratic
national committee from using or circulat-
ing Autograph copies of Marshall JEWELS
dispatches, obtained by the committee
through mistake.
ONE OF the most singular developments of
human nature is reported from Ohio, where
certain man, who was violent copperhead
during the war, has announced his intention
to vote for Garfield aud Arthur. He says
that he remembers well that during the war
Democrats Che among them) rejoiced at
rebel victory, and were mad when the Union
army was victorious. Now the Democracy
claim the honors of the war and he can't
stand that.
The postmaster at Washington has tee-
graphed to the chairman of the Republican
national committee that no such canceling
stamp as that shown on the envelope of the
alleged letter to Morey was in use at that
post-ofice January 231, when it is claimed
the letter was mailed. An entire new set of
canceling stamps was placed in use there on
the 18th of April. The fac simile is very
good representation of the new stamp, but
totally unlike the old
SPRINGFIELD Republican: "The pre-
tended letter from the Republican candi-
date on the Chinese question drops still
born. General Garfeld's denial wipes it
out. No sensible man can credit its anthem
ITCHY for moment The probabilities, the
circumstances and the facts are all against
its credence. 1t is easier with the facts as
they now stand, to believe that success
full forgery has imposed on Mr.. Hewitt, than
that General Garfield either believed or
wrote what this alleged letter says"
