POLITICAL NOTES.

THOSE wonderful stories of bulldozing and
cruelty TO the negro do not seem TO material
ize In this campaign so rao idly OF successfully
as usual.
SENATOR NEWTON BOOTH has returned to
California, where he is quoted as saying the
Republican parry viii be thoroughly united In
the coming campaign.
ALL is lovely in the city of New York. Both
wings OF the Democracy are supporting the
Cincinnati nominees with enthusiasm. They
promise to roll up such a majority in Novem-
Der nexta will electrify their friends through
out the Union.
THERE doesn't seem TO be a very rapid re-
Spouse on the part OF the National Republican
Committee to send men and money to the
solid South in order to make canvass there.
This is very sensible, whstever some Of the
organs may say. 1t never does pay to pour
water through seive.
ALMOST every Democratic paper I'm the coun-
try has letters from former Republicans
breaking away from their party associations
and declaring in favor of General Hancock.
It's the fashion, and our Republican friends
think, like a woman, they would as soon be
out of the world as out of the fashion.
1T is said now that Mr.. Arthur has no desire
to be chosen Vice President, but that he is
playing his cards for the next Senatorship
from the State of New York. AS he is in no
possible danger of election on the National
ticket he might as well direct his thoughts to
some other position, and there is no place he
is more likely to lose than that of Senator, If
he depends upon the next Legislature for his
success. 1t Is extremely probable that Arthur
will have to wait.
SENATOR THURMAN, Governor Hendricks
and Senator Bayard have already spoken
earnestly for Hancock. They were his rivals
for the nomination at Cincinnati. 1t would
be interesting TO hear of a speech by Senator
Blaine or Secretary Sherman, or to read a con-
gratulatory telegram or letter from General
Grant in favor of Mr.. Garheld's election. II
these are not forthcoming soon the country
will get an idea that all the leaders intend to
sulk In their tents this year, utterly regardless
of results. This would be very, very sad.

THE public whipping post in Raleigh, n. c.,
has disappeared. Until few days ago it stood
near the Court House, and has been used o
late as q hitching post for country roadsters
whose masters had law business on hand.
Before 1868 it was the COnnty whipping post.
: The stocks and the pillory which stood beside
it were removed long ago, but the cd post re-
manned.
THIS has been a year fruitful in canine
sagacity. A Nashville physician Is accom-
panied In his professional visits by a large dog,
which watches over the horse and buggy. One
night he left the horse unhitched. and when
he returned the horse had disappeared, but
was found several hundred feet away, where
the dog was sitting on his launches in front
of him and holding the hitch-rein In his teeth.
At another time the horse was standing I'M
hitched near a railway track, and took fright
at the cars. Before he could run far the dog
had caught the reins in his teeth, and soon
stopped the runaway. A Canandaigua mother
thought her little daughter merited a whip
ping, and as she aimed to strike her, the New
foundland dog of the family caught the
menacing arm in his mouth, but did not bite.
The father, coming In at that moment, out of
curiosity made a pretence Of Furnishing the
child, and his arm was arrested in the same
way,
