POLITTCAL NOTES.

TIE Arkansas republican state committee
has decided not to puta ticket in the field.
GENERAL HANCOCK thinks he has found a
use for David Davis. lie intends asking him
to sit down on Wado Hampton.
ENGLISH is said to be working tremendously
TO carry Indiana in October. Ho has been
heard to mutter: "If could only force the
darn thing to a sherT's sale I'd manage it
easy enough"
GENERAL BUTLER can give the same reason
for returning to the democratic party which
the inebrated individual did who appeared at
his own door and was asked by his wife why
he came home at that hour: cause all tho
other places are shut up."--Boston Journal

WADE HAMPToN's "broad and down.reach-
ing for the union" began as far back as 1868. On
Juno is of that year ho made q speech at sup
per of the alumni of Washington college, Vir.
ginia, when, alluding to "our martyred dead"
he said he did not believe they fell in vain.
Tho cause for which Jackson and Stuart fell
cannot be in vain, but will in some form re-
vive." He could not couple Lee with Jackson
then, because Lee was alive, and was present
at the supper. Tho sentiment is curiousy
like the one he uttered at staunton and it may
be that he regards the present campaign under
Hancock as the revival he predicted in 1868.
JUSTICE HARLAN of tho supreme court, after
consultation with Justice Miller, has issued
writ of error to the supreme court of the
United States in the case of William Neal,
culored, convicted at the last term of the Della.
ware state court at Wilmington for outrage on
the person of Mrs. Margaret Gosser 1t will bo
remembered that at the time of the trial Mr.,
Higgins, counsel for Neal, asked that the case
be removed to the United States circuit court,
on the ground that negroes were prohibited
| by tho state laws from serving on iuries. The
court decided that no such prohibition existed,
and Neal was tried, found guilty and sem
fenced to be hanged on Friday next. AS At.
torney. General Gray and ChiefJustice Com.
eggs have recommended a respite, there is no
doubt that It will be granted.

"BUCKEYE," tho well-snown correspond
ent of that able democratic organ the
Cincinnati Enquirer, quotes from private
letter received by him from "a southern

"rence" as follows
derived neither pleasure nor profit from
my visit to New York. There
may be vast deal going on and being effect
lively done at headquarters, but | did not see
tho evidence. f. Was IL reserved to n
democratic national committee in a popular
government to illustrate OXENsTEIS's advice
to his son, to go forth and see with how little
wisdom the world is governed?
Commenting on the experiences of his
southern friend "BUcKEYE" says:
give You these expressions that our party
may not be misled by the daily gush from its
headquarters, and also that il may not lend
undue credence to reported interviews of
prominent democrats as given by a portion of
the New York press, From one of these lot
me illustrate many by an extract from the
letter of another correspondent: II saw no
reporter at all, aud yet you saw attributed to
me in the -, at longth and in laring colors,
certain statements and opinions which an
idiot would not gravely have uttered" The
trouble at our headquarters is that the very
cuIucst beutltllcu VINO grace lneln are eltnOr
without capacity, as Is the case with the large
swalow.tail element, or are wanting in ex-
perencc. Besides this they are machine men
to man, and New York machinists at that.
Let mo again illustrate; In their own state
they have rejected the friendly advances of
$4,000 voters, In Ohio they have undertaken
| to make the tail wag the dog, and in Indiana
they stolidly ignore the head, although they
know (if they know anything on tho subjoct)
that in this latter aud pivotal state their cause
| is in the greatest possible peril,
We present these candid admissions OF
discerning democrats made to put the ranl,
and file on their guard in order that oui
readers may contrast them with the daily
messes of gush served up in the democratic
organ of this city Those who are now sub,
sisting on pabulum of brag and blustel
will have TO brace up nightly or they will
be utterly shattered in their mental consti,
tutions by the shock of facts in September

The correspondent of the Baltimore sua
in Connecticut thus reports the words of a
republican Of wide views and excellent
means Of information:
Little as you Of the south may think IT,"
said he there was In lS74, and in less degree
in 1875, q strong reaction In your favor among
the be.tor class Of republicans, and founded,
too, upon genuine sympathy for you in conse.
quence Of the wrongs practicod upon you by
the carpet t-baggers." With what seemed to me
genuine feeling no characterized those wrongs
as informal" but added: "Slnce 1876 there
has been, to n degree which perhaps you byno
means suspect, q revival Of stalwartism' and
this Is founded on the fact that while there is
no longer any reason to sympathi2e with q
people who have their local governments in
their own hands, there Is good reason to be,
icye that power Is maintained as against the
negro and wAito republicans by the strong
arm, or what amounts 10 the same thing, the
uurestrained manipulation Of the ballOt.bOX,
Look at Alabama. You will find before No
yember that the party which represents the
intellect, tho wealth and the character of tho
north does not intend tamely to submit to a
complete loss Of national control. HANCOCK
is not going to walk over the track every
inch Of ground will be fought for, and there
will DO no child's play, promise YOU"
This republican Of New England is one
of q hundred thousand voters who have re.
turned to the hearty support of republican
candidates and measures since 1874. There
is not a practical politician now familiar
with the campaign who does not see thai

THE organ Of the democracy goes into
Mysteries daily over the great wrong done
to the immaculate HAMPTON in publishing
what he said at Staunton, for the reason that
he has repeatedly said 81 neither used the
words attributed TO me nor anything APP
preaching them in meaning" We admit
this denial, but the balance of proof is
largely against the truth Of its assertions.
Both the Padjc1ior (dem) and the T'ir-
giaidn (rop,) made reports of the speech in
question when made, and they both sub
stantially concur ns TO what he did say,
and though they differ slightly as to the
form of expression, the meaning is a
matter of concurrent establishment and it
is as published in the vrgipidn. The form
Of expression is very slight and immaterial.
The thing is nailed to the immaculate
HAMPTON, and though the organ may stg-
Matte those editors who persist in fasten-
ing it there as villains" they will not
relax their grip upon this torgiversator
under any measure Of bulldozing and cpl
thct.

THE democrats are calling in their re-
serves. Since the great out-pouring Of the
people on last Thursday evening to do
honor to and to ratiiy the Chicago nomina-
tions, the democrats have been filed with
fear and trembling lest their demonstration
Of next Thursday evening may be thrown
in the shade. The Macedonian cry, "Come
over and help u.s. has gone forth to Alex
andria and Leesburg in Virginia, Baltimore,
Frederick, Rockville and Marlboro, in Mary
land, and it is highly probable that, with all
this drumming up they will get q large
number Of people together, and it affords us
much satisfaction to tender our congratu-
latious to our opponents on the auspicious
prospect. The republicans are fully salts
fed with their demonstration and have no
envious eye to cast at the efforts aud pros.
poets of the democracy. We admire their
pluck more than their cause, and hope in
this Washington rally that their num-
bcrs may be largely swelcd by tho
democrats of the adjacent country. We
trust when their procession passes along
the street that no republican will as
sail the passers with improper opithcts,
and hootings, and howlngs such as the
democrats poured into republican ears
as their procession passed down Pennsylya-
MIA avenue the other evening. Our advice
to republicans is to let the democratic par
ade and meeting severely alone Let order
reign, so far rs republicans are concerned,
and let the enemy have fair show for their
own resources

 ST.

The investigation, which Is to be divided into two parts, tho one having refer ence to immediate objects and the condition of the disaffected classes, and the other to the general political state of the empire, will in all probability be 8 protracted one and may be continued for months. It is given out that General Melikof will conduct the business of the commission incidentally to suppress revolution, but with the ultimate view ard hope of initiating Government changes that will benefit the people of Russia. No announcement, however, will be made of any important decisions arrived at until the close of the sitting.

Conrad Hie- man, who lives at the corner of Broadway and Wright streets with his wife and six chil- dren, has been drinking heavily for some time past, and last night had an at tack of delirium tremens. This afternoon while his wife was preparing breakfast Hieman called for her from an adjoining room, and as she entered in response he ss- saulted her with a large knife, driving the blade through the lungs of the infant in her arms. He then struck another blow, burying the knife in the heart of his wife, killing her almost instantly. A brother of Hieman st. tempted to seize the maniac murderer and re- ceived severe stab in the back, disabling him. Hieman then broke away and ran to- wards the river, since when ha has not been

The Counting Out PlOt-E&epOrt of th 0 Halo COmmittee-Summar of Flu siOniSt MisdeedSs
 AUGUSTA, March 18-The Hale committee
 on the contingent process rssorted to by
 ex-Gov. Garcslon and his Council, reported this afternoon. The report reviews the cir cumstances of the counting out, referring to
 the details already made public, and reviews
 the unwillingness of the majority of the
 fusionist officials to appear and testify, Gsrce-
 Ion and Moody being the exceptions. Ths
 report states that Garcelon, while evincing
 willingness to disclose everything, was infirm
 in his memory, and failed to give a Gatisfac-
 tory reason for his course. When the evil
 dence was laid before him, he ceased to longer
 defend the counting out process, passionately
 asserted his own innocence, and declared that
 Judas among the Council had done the vil
 lainy. In conclusion, the committee say That the returns were kept from the cRndi. dates contrary to usage; that during such time, alterations, ensures and forgeries wera
 made upon them for the purpose of counting out Republicans; that during this time defects in the fusion returns were surreptitiously corrected and affida- wits secured to throw out Republican towns; that in all such cases the results invariably counted out Repub1i- can candidates, and counted in fusion candi- dates that the result was reached by refusing to allow Republican errors to be corrected that the rules laid down were strictly applied to reject Republican returns that many of these rules were evidently invoked to secure a fusion Legislature that these illegal and fraudulent acts were part of 8 premeditated plan to secure fusion Governor and the Council must have been party to it; and that the different appropriations by the Legislature have been diverted from their legitimate purposes, and In many cases have been exhausted. The public funds have been withdrawn from the treasury by Governor Garcslon and his Ooun- cil without warrant of law, and have been ap- piled to unauthorized purposes and for unlaw- full ends. A large sum of money belonging to the State yet remains in the hands of Cover nor Garcelon and other officials of last year, which should be recovered back into tha treasury. The recklessness of management disclosed in the transactions of last year tends to destroy public confidence, undermine pub lie credit and to introduce practice, which, if unrebuked, will prove fatal to the future and progress of the State.
 The committee were empowered to hold l meetings after the adjournment of the legis- 1aET1re
