CONGRESS-,

The special deficiency bill, which had pass
cd the house, gone to the senate and beng
passed with amendments was returned to the
house, was again acted upon by the house on
Saturday, with a non-agreement to a senate
amendment making an appropriation for the
new state department. so that it goes to a con

have agreed to the clause taking the appoint
ment of election marshals from the chief mar.

The Spofliord Kellogg debate was opened IN

admitted. He showed, and compelled the re-
publican senators to Concede, that there was

CHEAP THUNDER.

Considering the high probability, reduced
almost To dead certainty, of the nomination
of Mr. Bushnell as the Republican candidate
for Congress in tins district few leading
home organs of The party are engaged with
singular assiduity IN manufacturing cudgels
for use by the democrats in killing him off
when the same papers are Loyalty supporting
him, agonizing to save him from their own
weapons. The FREE TRADER, which these
papers accuse of favoring the nomination of
Mr.. Bushnell that it may have a Republican
candidate whom 1t can effectively assail, ought
to be especially grateful to these journals for
playing so cleverly into Its hands Thus the
charge that Mr. Bushnell had sold out the
stockholders Of the Fox River Railroad Co.
to the Burlington for u large sum of money
having been rung on all Its changes the same
papers now trump up the very serious charge
against Mr. Bushnell of having had some
questionable connection with Is. F. Aliens
Cook County National Bank and hand in
the explosion OF that bank involved The
charge Is that Mr.. Bushnell was stakeholder
in the bank, and some time before its explosion
received pay for some pretty large certificates
of deposit, evidently to defraud the dcposl.
tors Mr.. Bushnell explains the matter
by stating that, having been one OF the origl.
nal stockholders of the bank and year or two
before 1t exploded becoming dissatisfied with
its management, lie sold out his stock to b. +.
Allen, taking his pay in certificates of depos.
It, which he afterwards collected, and that this
is all there ever was about il. The Kendall
Connty Record admits that the explanation IS
and that it has probably done Mr..
Bushnell Injustice but thea proceeds to assai
him for being a man about whom such false
charges can be invented!
1t seems, however, that the editor of the
Recoyd IS not the autocra. of his party in Ken
dali county. The Plano NeDs, another rcpub
lican organ in that county, while supporting
the nomination Of Evarts admits that it has
no hope Of his success, and taking survey of
the other candidates and their claims and
qualifications, is quite certain that after Ev
arts most, if not ALL of the Kendall delegation
will vote for Bushnell That seems to settle
he question Of his nomination, and that
OF course nothing can be more CRAFTY.

A TILDEN BOLT.

There was very decided sensation if not a
panic among the peculiar supporters of the re.
nomination of Tlldcn at Albany the other day.
on the unexpected detection of the man whom
they had regarded as the very head of the Til.
den ring of the New York Democracy. This
was Senator John &. Jacobs, who was chosen
by the friends of Tilden to preside over the re-
cent convention OF the regular" Democracy
at Syracuse, and the same who, year ago,
was nominated by reclamation as a compri-
mise candidate for Governor in place of Rob
nson but who, on account of his warm friend
ship for Tilden, declined the profIered honor
Ready TO concede that the New York Democ-
racy owed it to its own dignity not to be dra-
gooned INTO slaughtering Tilden at the behest
of John Kelly and his dlsreputable crowd,
Mr. Jacobs is yet too honest not to confess
that, profound as his admiration for Tiden
may be and undying his friendship, he is not
the man whom the Democratic convention at
Cincinnati ought to nominate for the pres-
dency. He made this declaration boldly on
the 2Sd ult. in speech in the senate at Albany
and if the roof of the state house had caved in
on them the Tlldentes could not have been
more astounded. AS reported in the Albany
papers, his words were as follows:
THE Republican majority here need not
look for one moment for any advantage out of
division of the Democracy sf this state No,
Mr.. President, we can get along without Mr..
Tllden, and rather than submit to the exact
ions of the administration, we may choose to-
make some other man President Ii am an
anti-Tilden man 1t is because don't think he
can be elected, furthermore, will add that
don't think he will be candidate unless he
thinks he can be elected. | am free to say
that am one OF those who don't think he can
be- want those who wear the collar of Ros
coe Cenkling, however, to understand here
and now that we on the other side can take en-.
tire care of ourselves"
All subsequent efforts to induce Mr.. Jacobs
TO explain away or modify the obvious mean
ing Of his language only made 1t worse. He
will go TO Cincinnati, he says, ready TO give
Mr.. Tildon a complimentary vote, but with a
firm conviction, and determination 10 act on
the conviction, that he is not the man whom
the Democracy ought to nominate for the
presidency.

CONVENTIONS.

The Virginia Republican convention, which
we spoke OF as IN session last week, grew 81
hot in its proceedings on Friday that the polio,
had to be called in to keep the peace. Tht

a half and half selection from the two factions

courtesy republican state convention, finally
broke up on Friday evening of last week. Four

that the delegates are about equally divided
between Grant, Blame and Sherman.

ance except to shout immoderately when their
lavorltc was mentioned. The delegates at
large were instructed and the district delegates
requested, to vote for Sherman at Chicago. A
strong feeling against Grant was manifested.
His name was Kissed wherever mentioned and
1t was generally conceded that if nominated at
Chicago can not carry the state.
The Democrats of Connecticut also held their
state convention on Tuesday. The proceed
ings were quiet and harmonious, the only
speech made of any length being that of Mr..
Waller, the chairman, mainly IN denunciatlou
of the great fraud of 1876. The delegates to
Cincinnati 90 with no other instructions than
to help nominate the strongest man"
The Pennsylvania Democratic convention
met at Harrisburg on Wednesday. There was
quite an energetic attempt on the part ofSpeak
er Randall, who champIoued the cause of Til
den On the OCCASION to get iorclble possession
of the organization by filling the hall in adj
vance the meeting with Philadelphia roughs,
but the maneuvre seems to have measurably
failed. At least, it became apparent enough
in the course OF the proceedings that there was
a decided majority opposed to Tilden, and the
efforts of Randall after that were directed to-
prevent the passage of resolution of instruc.
tons in favor Of any other candidate and di-
recting the delegates to vote as unit In this
way, although the delegates selected are all
supposed to be IN favor of the nomination of
Hancock, it Is possible that when they come TO

WASHBURN WON'T DO.

While the republicans generally admit that
Grant with the strong feeling against third
term and the memory of the beastly corruptlons
OF his former administrations will be a heavy
load for the party to carry; and that the load
will be very little lighter with Blsne and his
spectators in Credit Mobilier and Arkansas
Railroad bonds and his theft of the Multi.
gan letters; many of them turn longingly TO-
wards Elihur b. Washburn and say "Why not
take Washburn' lie Is strong with the repub
lican masses; the Germans are all for him, and
his record as partisan of economy IN the gov.
eminent and of popular rights as opposed to
the great monopolles is better and cleaner than
that olany other prominent man IN our ranks"
All true as preaching, but then there are a
few obstacles IN his way which must be regard,
ed rs insurmountabc One of them is Roscoe
Conkling, Many years ago when Washburn
and Conking were both members of the
house, they had violent quarrel, IN the course
of which Washburn said "You le;" and get
ting no immediate response, he repeated: per.
haps you did not hear what | said and want
no misunderstanding about it, said you lie"
Since then the two have been implacablc enc
mics aud against such u merciless knitting as
Conkling would give him, Washburn can new
or hope to carry New York.
And he is in still worse predicament, if
possible, IN regard to Pennsylvania When
Simon Cameron was kicked out of President
l..
house series of resolutions denouncing Cam.
eron as a dishonest dealer with the public mo-
ney, and through hls influence the resolutions
were passed by large majority. The fact is
one which the powerful clan Cameron will
never forgive, and Washburn's case is hopeless
IN Pennsylvania. So it will be seen, in spite
OF the many strong points in his favor, Wash
burn is not available as candidate tor the
presidency.
