- AS the result of its canvass of Penn
sylvania newspaper opinion, the Phila-
delphia Time, reports that of the sixty
six Republican journals heard from,
twenty-six favor Blaine's candidacy.
twenty-five are out-spoken for Grant,
three endorse Sherman, and fifteen are
non-committal. Out of sixty.eight DEM
ocratic newspapers, fifteen are for Tilden,
thirteen for Bayard, eleven for Hancock,
nine for Seymour, and twenty non-com-
initial. AS this is not by any means a
complete survey of the newspaper field,
and newspaper sentiment is not always a
reliable indication of political feeling,
these figures possess only relative value.
Taking them for what they are worth,
they seem to show that the Pennsylvania
Republicans are pretty evenly divided be-
tween Blaine and Grant, with Sherman
almost out of the fight, while the Demo-
Gratis have four candidates with a follow
ing Of nearly even strength, Tilden being
slightly the favorite. That Mr.. Blaine
should lead the field on the Republican
side was to be expected, Notwithstanding
the talk that the Camerons had pledged
the State to Grant, but it is rather surpris-
ing to find that Mr.. Tilden, who is open
ly autagonized by the Wallace wing of
the Democratic party, should still retain
his grip; although, when it is remem-
bered that the preference expressed for
Bayard, Hancock and Seymour is vir-
tually a cry of "anybody to beat Tilden,"
it will be seen that the Tildenites are in
hopeless minority.
A Washington correspondent says
there is good authority tor the statement
that the Supreme Court of the United
States will refuse to advance on the docket
the case to test the legality of the legal
tenders, reissued under the act of 1873,
inaugurated by Mr.. Chittenden and
General Butler. The reasons given for
the refusal are, first, because, owing to
the illness of Justice Hunt, the full bench
is not sitting; and, second, because the
Court does not desire to subject itself to
the charge of rendering o judicial opin-
ion for political effect. Should the re-
port prove true Congress will be COM
PEELED to tackle the financial problem, at
least until the case is reached in its reg
ular order, which may be several years.
- There is, says the Baltimore Gazette,
one great point in favor of. Mr.. Bayard's
nomination and election as president that
should not be overlooked. Delaware is
such small State it is not likely that
enough people could be found there to
fill all the offices, while in New York the
Offices would not 60 half round among
the faithful unless the present lot was
quadrupled. 1t is expecting almost too
much in these degenerate days, but if we
had such a man as Thomas A. Bayard in
the Presidential chair about four years
we would all feel prouder of our country
at the end of that time than we have ever
done since the Democratic party went
out of the Presidential business.
- A singular discovery was made
Wednesday among the effects of Judge
Edmunds, the Washington Postmaster
lately deceased, being nothing less than
the last will and testament of the late
Zachariah Chandler, who was supposed
to have died intestate. 1t seems that the
will was drawn in 1865, and left in the
custody of Judge Edmunds, who had
doubtless forgotten its existence at the
time of his death. By the terms of the
will the large estate is divided equally
between the widow and her only daugh-
ter, the wife of the Hon. Eugene Hale,
of Maine.

When found he had gun-shot wound

he had been hanged.

Miller, of Ferris, Texas, chloroformed

are that about year hence, she will con-

Mr.. Upper, farmer who lives above
Columbus, Ga, has given the following
rat story: He was going out to his corn
crib the other morning, he says, when he
saw large rat, with head erect, carry
ing full-sized ear of corn in his mouth,
while at the same time his tail was
wrapped around another large ear which
he was dragging behind him.
