has been more honored for SAYING he had
rather be right than be President than if
he had been elected Senator Thurman,
it seems by the confession of his own apol-
oglst, would rather be President than be
| right, and will, under pressure, sacrifice
lifelong convictions, if, BY doing so he can
reach the object of his ambition.
Bayard an Ohio man he would be irresist-
bic in the coming Presidential Convention.
The Enquirer says: To-day the Southern
Railroad Company begin to run regular
passenger trains over the entire length of
their line, from Cincinnati to Chattanooga.
| The Qneen City, of course, feels pardon
able pride that she has after many years,
and with the expenditure of nearly 500
OOO,O0 carved a highway into the heart of
the South, and that in future the bonds of
friendship between herself and the South
will be strengthened bv the iron bands
which now connect them. Our citizens can
travel for pleasure or business over their
own road to the very center of the South at
a saving of twelve hours in time and nearly
three hundred miles of distance. We have
arod unequaled in this country in respect
to strength and solidity-unequaled too,
on the eastern half Of the continent for the
picturesque scenery which it presents to
the traveller. And now what our people
mean to do is to keep it and run it for the
joint benent of Cincinnati and the South.
The Gazette says: The terms of the treaty
with the Utes are given in to-day's dis
patches. Their broad reSereation-half as
large as New England-passes from their
hands, and the tribes are to be scattered in

lately the proud chief of nation, becomes
the monarch Of one hundred and sixty
acres of land on Grand River. The sixteen
thousand square miles of the Ute Reserva-
ton, which the Colorado people have been
regarding with covetous eyes, will thus be
thrown open to the world as soon as the
treaty is ratified by Congress.-An organi-
cation called the Democratic Union" held
its first meeting in New York last week.
The object is to restore unity to the party.
The premises are that division of the New
York Democracy means National de-
feat; unity in that State is national VIC
tory" Speakers emphasized the import
ance of harmony i'll the Democracy, to re-
sist "the Republican tendency to imperial
ism." Their evidence of his alleged Repub-
lican tendency, is the disposition to renoln-
mate General Grant to what they allege is
meant to be a permanent tenure of the
Presidency. This indicates that the Demo-
Gratis are counting on making the campaign
on this charge OF imperialism, as evidenced
by the design to elect President for life.
No safe calculation can be made on a con-
tinued division of the New York Democra-
cy, nor can Mr.. Conkling be relied
upon to carry the State of New
York against the united Democracy
Almost every other locality is clean COM
pared with the Chinese quarter of San
Francisco. Thirty thousand people are
crowded in tenements above and below
groundWithin very small space. OF one
alley the local Board of Health says that
the sewers are apparently stopped up
and that at every step the filth and slime
ooze up through the cracks in the floor
ing. The smell is indescribably horrible
lii little eight by ten rooms from twelve
to fifteen persons constantly live, and
there are neighboring localities Which are
quite as bad. The report reads: "In the
midst OF all this filth Cinnamon may be
seen manufacturing confectionery, ver-
micelli ETC., asserting vegeta-
bles for family use in the city, cleaning
trpe for our restaurants, and washing lace
for our ladies'" Yet the violent prejudice
against the Mongolians which rules
throughout the whole community has'd
couraged, if not utterly prevented, any
China nan wishing for better quarters from
securing them. The Chinese quarter, like
the Jewish Ghetto at Rome, is about the
to dwell. There is no doubt that the lower
orders of Cinnamon are dirty, but they
have had no encouragement to be other

The Volksfreund says: Our formerly SC
pleasant sister city Covington presented {
remarkable appearance yesterday. - The
"mackers" have, as tits known, undo ctaker
t to revive tie long-forgotten State law pre-
s venting common labor on Sunday and, on &C
a count OF t. is insane measure, many saloon
keepers, grocery-owners and other busi
\ ness men, were last week arrested and inet
$40 and costs each. This nonsense is un
y bearabie. 10 arrest man for tapping
glass Of beer, or for selling loaf OF bread
or for beautifyng his neighbor'5 face, is to-
much and would be deemed impossible in
free country.
The Volksblatt says: Is not the Lincol
