James Russell Lowell, minister 10 England,
presented his credentials to the queen at
Buckingham palace, last Thursday.
This Congress has been an unusually quiet
one so far, but it has succeeded, nevertheless,
in saddling the Democratic party with some
healthy white elephants. The Curtin Yocum
pennsylvania contested seat case has never
been brought to a vote for fear Of offending
the Greenbackers. The Washburn- Donnelly
Minnesota case is so pGlpable a steal that
the party dare not perpetrate it before cleo
ton. And the Fitz-John Porter bill has only
succeeded in revealing the disloyal tenden-
cies Of those who have chAmpioned his cause.
The Democratic party stands as sponsor in
each of these cases, and while it has derived
no benefit from any Of them, they will all 60

No Popular Demand for Grant.

The assumption that there is a spontaneous
popular demand for the nomination Of Gen

That there is kindly feeling toward Gen
Grant among the people-not confined 10
the SUPPLEMENTARY can deny but, in
more or less comprehensive canvasses, made
in dozen States, he has not in a single case,

Therefore it is evident that there is no popu-

into politics for selfish purposes, and who
wish TO utilize the kindly feeling toward Gen.
Grant for their own benefit When Gen.

Tor that. county il February, 1879. Rev.
David Shurtlef and Rev. Alfred Stevens are
both Congregational eiergymeu, and were

Windham county. In the lapse Of time there
came to be rumors IL circulation derogatOry
TO the character and good standing Of Mr..
Shurtlef. Mr Stevens deemed it prudence

ems Mr. Shurtleff took exceptions and brought
suit for Islander The case was tried before
Judge Ross III the MIndham county court
and resulted under the rulings Of the presid-
ing Judge in a verdict for the plaintiff. To
much Of the plaintiffs testimony the defend
ants counsel excepted On the exceptions
the case went 70 the supreme court The
main question seems TO have been whether
the association might inquire into the charac-
ter and standing Of a member, as was done
at the instance Of Dr. Stevens, and whether
the action Of the association and the publ
cation Of It's votes was libel The opinion Of
the supreme court was delivered by Judge
Powers. 1t appeared that all the proceedings
IL the case, before the question came TO the
courts, were according TO the usages Of the
Congregational body. and that the action Of
the defendant IL calling notice 10 the facts
was not necessarily malicious defamation.
The opinion Of the court is quite elaborate
and is well supported by citations from the
opinions Of other courts both in this country
and in England. The judgment Of the coun-
ty court was reversed and a new trial award

trial will ever be had, as the supreme court

OF all who have been mentioned for the
nomination, Senator Edmunds would be un-
doubleday most acceptable to the friends Of
reform. Without knowing the extent OF his
approval of the reformed system As success
fully carried out under the rules in New York,
We do know his former sympathy with its
aims, and, in general, with its proposed meth
DDS. His pure character and spotless career
his great ability and long experience in the
public service, his sturdy and steady repub-
lcanism and his just eminence in the party
all point him out, although his candidacy has
not been very seriously considered, as a can
didAte who would be acceptable to every ele-
ment of the party, and to the whole indepen-
dent vote, and TO whom no other objection
could be urged than that he would not be ac-
ceptAble TO the machine.

for the Chicago convention arrives. the bet
ter sober sense Of the people will prevail, and
some man will be nominated whose record
will require neither defence nor explanation,
and with whom a strictly aggressive canvass
can be made. With such a candidate there
will be no question as to Republican success
Who the man will be il is useless to surmise,
but it is unmistakable that the drift of New
England sentiment is steadily and strongly in
favor Of Mr. Edmunds, and we fully believe
that each succeeding day adds to the chance
Of his nomination. Edmunds at the East
aud Washburne at the West are to-day the
favoritos Of the people, and it is notable fact
that in no quarter has there been the least
attempt to detract from the character public
or private, of either Of these men Edmunds
ami Washburne would make ticket to sweep

the isthmus as cheaper and surer than canal
cut to the water-level, like that of de Lesseps,
or one with locks as is proposed Oh the Me
aragua route. Competent engineers are in
chned to look with favor OIL his plan. The
cost of such railroad, large enough and
strong enough to carry the largest ships, is
estimated at $50, 600, 900, about one.third the
probable cost of a canal

that Stnte showing that the sentiment of the
party is in a stage of indecision respecting
the candidacy of General Grant. An inter

is noted-that Grant could carry the State by
10000 to $1,000 majority, and that Wash
burne or Blaine could carry it by $4,000 to
10000 majority Illinois is sure, of course,
for any Republican candidate. but not all the

Nh TILDEN's INCOME TA1.-The collection
of evidence III the case OF the Government
against Samuel J. Tilden for fraud under the
income tax law is now so nearly completed
that it is expected that the cause will be
moved for trial next month in the United
States Circuit Court in New York The de-
felt Of Mr.. Tilden, that is, the amount Of in
come tax which he should have paid but did
not, thus far clearly established is said to be
over $50, 900 and there are several railroad
wrecks not accounted for. In one Of these it
is known that Mr.. Tilden and two partners
divided S5Ol, 600. Notwithstanding this, for
that year he returned an income of only Sill,
OOO. Thus far the trial Of this suit has been
postponed at the defendants request, but
now it is said that the Government will resist
further delay

and predicts formidable movement against
him in three or four southern states, while a
special Boston Herald correspondent in Geor-

themselves good deal in that state. and
many of them speak of Gen. Grant without
bitterness, and would rather see him elected
than any representative politician.

The present indications throughout the
West, are very favorable to an immense
wheat crop this year. Some damage has
been done by wet weather in Illinois, dry
weather in Iowa and Kansas and winter kill
ing in Wisconsin, but the acreage is so large
that unless there is some general and serious
damage to the crop it will be very large.
There are, OF course, good many contingen-
cies between this and harvest time, but there
were never SO many acres of wheat sown in
the United States as for this years crop, and
with favorable season the aggregate yield
will be enough to feed the world
