Of the German people. They
have furnished brave soldiers, generals of
genius and renown, learned professors,
great legislators, and have been almost un-
disputed rulers of the empire of commerce
and finance. No class has contributed as
much TO the wealth, learning and political
advancement Of the German empire as this
semctic race, whose history equals that of
any otherin the richness and grandeur orits
achievements in all the departments of
human life.
GENERAL GRANT is eligible for senator
from New York With CoNKLING and
GRANT New York would be the empire
state in the senate.
BANKS aud trust compa MES hold one
half of the registered bonds of the United
States. Foreign holders own but ten per
cent. Of the seven hundred millions of such
securities.
THE British parliament has been sum-
moncd to meet on January O. The state Of
Ireland evidently calls for the speedy APP
plication of policy" Things have
drilted long enough.
II is said that President HAYES will
have an opportunity to nppoin: two more
Justices of the supreme court before he re-
tires. Justices SwAYNE and STRONG are
eligible to retire on full pay.
The friends of General HARRISON conf
IDENTIFY claim that he has secured enough
votes in the Indiana legislature TO insure
his nomination by the republican caucus.
There will be eighty-two votes in the eau
Gus, fifty of which are said to be pledged
to HARRISON.
GARFIELD is to have all of his hardly
earned electoral votes in Indiana. The
error in the name of an clcctor was not in
the ballots nor on the precinct returns. 1t
was clerical error in filling up CONSOLE
dated county returns The state board has
counted the proper elector in.
THE Cincinnati Gazette assures its
anxious and sympathetic democratic cot en-
poraries that there is no senatorial fight -
in Ohio. Two distinguished citizens
have declared themselves candidates
for the senatorship but thero will be moth
ing in the contest unbecoming the dignity
of the Office.
IT is certain that the national banks
will be requesting congress for some favors
this winter. While considering such meas
ures we hope that law will be passed
compelling these institutions to receive on
deposit the standard silver dollars, and to
treat the gold, silver and paper currency of
the government in all respects alike.
THE Passion play has been withdrawn.
Manager ABBEY has had q big ADVERTISE
ment out Of it, The excitement was worked
up quite MS sllillfully as was the BERN
HARDT Juror. These will now be sue
cceded by the nautch dance, for which
"a Bombay merchant with four wives and
a eunuch" were imported last week. No
charge for this notice.
The Philadelphia Ereninq Bulletin sug-
gests the name of General ULYSSES S.
GRANT for the Pennsylvania senatorship.
The suggestion indicates that our cotem-
porary desires Pennsylvania TO have first
class senator. Whether the proposition is
feasible or not is sanother thing. We should
much prefer it to having the general put
out to charity, as has been proposed by
others.
FRIDAY and Saturday last were full OF
excitement to New York spectators. Over
half million shares were sold on each day
at the stock exchange. The cotton ex-
change was wild, the option sales reaching
nearly 100000 bales for the two days, the
largest ever recorded. There is glut oI
wheat at all points of export, and owners
of stores and elevators have raised theiI
prices for storage, charging two cents pei
bushel for every ten days after December 6
THE movement of HORACE WHITE and
his coadjutors the other day upon General
GARFIELD's works must not be reckonet
an attempt to run political machine. Sc
demonstratiye an effort, if made by Mr.
CoNKLING, would be liable to suspicion
but certainly nothing except pure desire
to help the presideut-elect in arriving to {
wise conclusion as TO his duties could have
actuated HORACE who in himself is &
WHITE mans party and not machine
politician.
The New York E1eaiHg DfaH is much
concerned about "tho sickly silver" in the
treasury. 1t asks: what is to be done
with the forty-soven million standard sill
yer dollars which nobody will have ?n
Half of the sum which seems to lrighten
the MaH is there representing the silver
certificates now in active circulation. The
other half is moving slowly but surely
into the hands of the people, in spite o
the persistent efforts Of the gold-bugs ol
Wall street and the hostility ofthe treasury
WE are indebted to the politencss Of Scrib
ner & Co, for bound copies of scrbaer',
lfoghly and the 81, Nicholas for 1880. The
latter is neatly bound in two volumes on ao'
count of its increased size. It Is needless tC
refer to the superior excellence Of these period
icals, for they have advertised their own ex
cellences Mt home and abroad.
