The Theory of Thought By Noah X. Da-
WIS., (New York: Harper Brothers. Portland !:
Lor;ng, Short & Harmony. This is large vol
ume containing teatise on Logic by Prof.
Davis of the Virginia University, 1t is, the
author explains, not an elementary work in
the sense of adaptation to immature minds,
but simply as ''it begins at the beginning, not
taking any previous knowledge for granted"
Part First is Introductory, and concerns itself
with definitions and rules: part second is of
Concepts, third of Judgments, fourth of Rea-
soning, and fifth of Fallacies. 1t appears to be
a carefully arr ranged work which will prove
useful to students of Logic.
Certain Dangerous Tendencies in American
Life, is the title of a volume of essays by an
anonymous writer. Boston: Houghton & Os-
good; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony.
These papers are clear, practical and thought
full, and show that the author has observed hu-
man nature in the only effective way by mix
ing freely among men. The Nationals, their
Origin and their Aims, Three Typical Work
ingmen, Sincere Demagogy, etc., etc., give an
idea of the design of the volume, which is one
to afford much food for thought and comment.
Mrs. A. ID. 7. Whitneys new story, Odd or
Even Boston: Houghton & Osgood; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmony will be eagerly
welcomed by the admirers Of her style. The
aim OF the story is OF course excellent; and the
plot, of the slightest, is so draped with the mi
nor moralities and fringed with little pious
plays on words, and so elaborately trimmed
with simplicities that one hardly looks for it at
ALL The case is precisely this; those who al
ready like Mrs. Whitney's stories will add this
one to their favorite bookshelf; and those read
ers who somewhat resent her ingenious and in
furious handling of the vocabulary, will not
fail to credit her with the best of intentions,
and some entertaining work.

THE Boston Transcript has been looking
figures: A statement approximating the ac-
tual division of the delegates on the ques-
tion of the candidacy would be as follows
For Grant 267: Blaine, 261; Sherman, ~;
Washburne, 49, Edmunds, 50. The States
yet to elect and hear from are Alabama, with
20 delegates; Louisiana, IS; Minnesota, 10;
Illinois, AZ. If the delegations from Penn
sylvania and New York should vote solidly
for General Grant--of which there is not the
slightest probability-he would have about
40 more votes than he is allowed above or
total Of 307. He must obtain 6S additional
delegates from the States still to choose, or
he will not have a majority of the conven-
ton, even after giving him the whole vote
of Pennsylvania and New York. Minnesota,
one of the States that has not yet chosen
delegates, will be against Grant and is ex
pected to declare for Senator Window.
Blaine and Sherman are both expecting
votes in Alabama and louisiana while
Illinois is so evenly divided between Grant
and anti-Grant that nobody can tell to
which side the scales incline.
THE Boston Advertiser thinks the only
consistent thing the Illinois supporters of
Mr.. Washburne can now do is to transfer
their allegiance to General Grant" This is
remarkable proposition to advance. 1t is
not true that the second choice of the Wash
burne men is the ex-President, or that be-
cause their personal preference is for Mr..
Washburne they are bound to obey his
wishes and vote for man they do not want
In giving him their support they have rot
given him with it the authority to make
choice for them between other candidates.
Mr.. Washburne would probably be the last
man to claim the right of transferring their
allegiance" to any of the gentlemen who
have been named in connection with the
Chicago nomination

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The World says !:
The sons Of Cakes Ames have prepared an
elaborate address to the American people
upon the relations which their father did or
did not sustain to the Union Pacific railroad
and to the Credit Mobilier and to the men,
bers Of Congress. 1t was unfortunate for
the memory of their father that the nomi-
nation Of Garfield necessarily revived the
discussion of a political scandal which was
fast becoming purely historical question.
Now that the scandal has been revived, it
is natural and oommendable that the chill
dren Of Ames should maintain, as they do,
that their father was entirely innocent of
any purpose to corrupt the members OF
Congress and that he was . martyr to pop
ular clamor. The public IL scarcely pre-
pared to accept that version
Of the transaction which has
RENTED several conspicuous politicians
to retirement, and the present interest oil
the public is neither to absolve nor con
denim Amos, but to find out how they fully
stood between Ames and Garfield, or wheth
or Ames deliberately swore to an untrutt
in reoiting these dealings, and the countr,
would like to know which of them the per
jurer ID. That there is no acquittal posi-.
bic for one without condemnation of tn,
other ID plainly enough shown by the ton,
the Republican press now takes toward tn,

A United Party.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6,-The Tribune says:
If any Republican doubted or feared before
hs cannot doubt or fear now. The confer
ence Of Republican leaders held In this city
yesterday Was one Of the most emphatic
proofs ever given of unity and energy of a
great party. 1t was one Of the most re-
markable bodies Of representative men that
has ever gathered in this country IN a
Presidential campaign. In this respect it
was hardly inferior to the National Con-
vention, for the foremost men Of party
are generally present in National Con-
vention only as candidates, not as delegates,
whereas this notable gathering of Republic
cans included at least two Of the most con-
spicuous candidates before the Chicago
Convention. The undisputed leaders OF
this body were Blaine, Sherman and Logan,
all Of whom made . most admirable i'm
preston by their addresses and general
bearing. Blaine made an ugly hole in Han
cocks armor when he pointed to the fact
that the Democratic candidate was the only
great soldier he ever heard of who seemed
to be ashamed of his success in war, as the
recent letter of acceptance showed, though
without intending it. BlsIne's words will
make Hsncock's ears tingle. Garfield has
produced q splendid impression upon those
who have met him.

President Grant was induced to order the
lands thrown open for settlement and they
were surveyed and rendered available for
pre-emptiou and homestead the same a.
lands outside the railroad limits. No DIM
culties presented themselves until . lew
days since when the presumption claim OF
Mr.. Martin, within tho sbove limits' was
returned by tho Land Commissioner 10 the
Register and r sceiver at Helena - SHIELD
for cancellation" and Mr.. Martin has, We
believe, to prove up his claim as against
the r. r. Co. within sixty days or forfeit
his right to the land. 1t is the fair infer
ence that all settlers on odd numbered SEQ
tons within the railroad grant In Bitter
Root Valley will have their applications
hung up In the same manner.
The inside Of this state Of Affairs Is that
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
has w. X. Meudenhall, Esq, An attorney
Of fine abilities and large experience in the
Land Depart ment, employed ut Washing
ton to look after their interests and he hss
been successful in stopping the issuance Oh
patents to these lands. Unless Immediate
and efficient action is taken the settlers
will be deprived of their rights. We IN
ders tand like state Of affairs exists at
Miles City. MIR. Woody Of Missoula is ao-
counted one of the most correct we'll IN

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS.
A Fat Mans Judgment on a Hot Day

A Fat Mans Judgment on Hot Day.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Undisturbed by
political or other visitors yesterday, Han
cock passed very quiet day on Governors
Island. Most of the time he spent in his
Office writing letters in answer to his cor
respondence, which grows more voluminsus
rs the political campaign advances, Many
of his letters are invitations to attend po-
Iitical meetings and offers of free quarters
at the different watering place hotels. He
respectfully but firmly declines both ; his
mind being made up distinctly that he will
not make political speeches 10 his own be-
half, and that he will remain at Governors
Island during the summer.
The Times this morning publishes let
ter from Senator David Davis to . gentle
man in Washington in which he says the
training and habits Of my life naturally
lead me to prefer civilians to soldiers for
great civil trusts, but as parties are organ
lied, voters must choose between the can
didates IS they are presented, Or must
stand aloof indifferent or neutral which no
good citizen ought to do at Presidential
election. / have no hesitation In support
ing Hancock, for the best of all reasons to
my mind-becaase his election will put an
end to sectional strife and sectional parties
and win revive patriotic sentiments all over
the land, which political leaders and fac
tions, for sinister ends, have sought to pro-
vent There can be no permanent prosper
ity without pacification. Great - we're
the achievements Of Gen. HANCOCK in tho
war, his conduct in peace whom in COM
mand Of Louisisna and Texas in 1867, was
still grander, and justly oommends him to
the confidence Of the country. His letter
to Gen. Sherman, recently brought to light,
lifts Hancock far above the past spprecia--
tion Of his civil ability. It marks him %
one Of the wisest Of his time, with . states.
man grasp Of mind and tho integrity Of .
patriot ~hom no ssnss Of expediency could
svsrve from his honest convictions.

it would do no good. Other addressei
were made and the Convention adjourned.

Census Frauds in the South,

comments ON its special dispatch on the

There is some reason for the alarm which
the South Carolina Republicans express at
the confident statements Of the Deinocratic
managers concerning large increase In the
population Of tho State. Senator Butler
has declared that tho new census will show
IN increase Of over 80 per cent. in the pop
ulation, and another Democratic orator
prophesies that the increase will be SO ar
cont. ...... ..........
The theory Of the Republicans Ii that the
census returns have been manipulated to
cover the notor:ously fraudulent Democrat
10 vote In several counties. This could not
be done without the corruption Of census
supervisors and IL win Be remembered
that the South Carolina Republicans pro-
tested vainly sgAinst tho appointment Of
three men who we're backed ~ Democratic

cd b the fact that the Democratic mana
gers have apparently got the census foot
ings in advance Of everybody else.
