POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

D% A small bar'l has been tapped in
Maryland, and that State will soon add
its pipe to the stentorian voice of Ne
braska, in booming for Sammy Tilden.
So the ball rolls on.-Lincola (Ne6.)
Journal.
D6- The Pennsylvania Democracy
seems to be as hopelessly split up as the
New York Democracy. The rivalry be-
tween Randall and Wallace is stronger
than ever, and the hope of reconcilia-
tion between these gentlemen is rs far
off as ever. How those Democrats love
each other! -rs azaF- .iL
H@- Hugo Preyer, a socialistic green
back blatherskite, has written to st.
Louis sympathizer to the effect that the
time has arrived when the United States
Government should be. abolished, and
that all that is needed is q leader with
sufficient nerve and brains to preach re-
pudiation and revolution. 15. l.a.t.i. -
"a Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota.
who is contesting the seat of Washburn
in Congress, wants an investigation.
He would want anything that would
serve to keep him before the country
and add to his somewhat questionable
notoriety. Donnelly is very small

D@- Dan Voorhees, having so misera-
bly, failed in his exodus investigation is
now trying to hedge by complaining
of the threatening letters he is receiv-
ing. We hope the committee will call
for all such letters. The only danger
to Dan, so far as letters go. is from
those he writes himself. The dodge is
a very thin one, Daniel.-KdnsGs City

B~ General Leslie Coombs. the vet
eran Kentuckian whose age was mat
ter of profound speculation in the last
century, rejects with scorn the sugges-
tion of the denomination of your Uncle
Samuel. He pronounces the peaceful
philosopher of Gramercy Hly-livered
and lacking gall, and declares that If
1.-THE Republican nominee is anything
short of being horse-thief or q house
breaker he will beat Tilden. '"'-C Chicago
Times, (Isd.) 5..r.t..s, -,
B@ Considerable testimony has been
taken by the Congressional Committee
Investigating the causes of the exodus
of the colored people from the South.
Nothing particularly new has been
elected. but one testified that refugees
on being questioned regarding the
danger the colored people ran in vot-
ing, said: "H / vote the Republican
ticket, / wakes up next morning in q
graveyard" That's whats the matter,
and you have it, Mr.. voorhees,, in a
n nutshell. Chicago JournH.
B6- Solon Chase pays his respects to
the Democratic party of Maine in the
following words: The Democracy in
this State has dwindled to an insignifi-
cant third party. 1t has for cass stones
the old Bourbon leaders,, who hold
themselves above common people, by
reason of their wealth and superior cul-
ture, but the ground tier is all gone ex-
cept in few cities. To fuse with such
q party is to lie down with dead man,
and fight the Republicans tied to q
corpse that has got record blacker
than the ace of spades" -.
~ Ignatius Donnelly has written q
virtuously indignant letter to the House
Committee on Elections demanding an
investigation as to the authorship of the
anonymous letter sent to Mr.. Springer.
There is scarcely. q particle of doubt
that Finley wrote the letter, and as he
and Donnelly were hunting in couples
it is hardly worth while for the latter to
become virtuously indignant at the sus-
picion that he was a party TO the trans
action. Donnelly is effectually done
for, and he might as well recognize the
fact. --et f.. .t..s. adj 4as A..
B@ 1t is evident that Ben Hill, whose
character is Just now patched in many
places with black court-plaster, is the
real mover and engineer of the fnfa-
nous scheme to unseat Senator Kel-
logg, and seat the pretender Spoford
in his place. There is considerable
doubt whether that scheme will suo-
coed; but Hill has managed to commit
the Democratic party to it, to at least q
damaging extent. 1t will, constitute a
precedent, if it succeeds. which will ex
cuse the kicking out of the Senate of
any Democratic Senator--provided it
were possible for any other. political
party to follow SO dishonorable pre-
cedent-the moment there is change
in the political majority in the Senate.
