an air of oracular wisdom, that Ben.
Butler of Massachusetts, and A. H.
Stephens of Georgia, will be the candi-
dates of the Observation-Disclosures conven-
ton that meets on the 9th of Juue in
Chicago.

The details of the plan of organic
ing and reuniting the Democracy of
New York are not yet made public,
but there seems to be little doubt that
satisfactory arrangements will soon be
consummated. Senator Jacobs, in a re-
cent interview, says, cts a sure thing
the Democratic party in New York
are going to be united"
A plan Of militia reorganization has
finally been agreed on by the sub-com-
mittee Of the house committee having
this subject in charge. 1t does not CON
template any interferece with the in
dependent control of the several
States over their own organizations, but
recommends the cooperation of the
general government by annual appro-
priations for equipment and subsis-
tence.
Since last October J. B. Killebrew,
commissioner of agriculture, statistics,
mines and immigration of Tennessee,
has received 10000 applications fer
documents descriptive of the resources
of that State. The result will proba-
| bly, be a large immigration to the
State. While not few of the colored
population are leaving Tennessee for
Kansas, their places are being filled
by intelligent and thrifty settlers from
the Northern States.
Mrs. Belva Lockwood, who represents
Miss Jessie Raymond in the civil-suit
against Senator B. II. Hill of Georgia,
is one of the leading lawyers Of the
Washington bar. If success be the
criterion of merit, Mrs. Lockwood
stands at the head Of our bar; for,
within the past ten years, she has
made at least s75, 900, which has been
: judiciously invested in real estate in
this city. The house on F street, in
which she lives and wherein is her law
? Office, is worth at least $4,000.
Col. ]. Stoddart Johnston of Ken
: lucky, who was secretary of state un-
der Gov. McCreary, and editor of the
Yeeman, says; ''Tilden's strength il
Kentucky is greater than it was foul
years ago. Then he had but little
popular following, as he was known tc
l but few. Now having been voted for
s and the Democracy being familiar
: with the fraud by which he was de.
t prived of the Presidency, are strongly
imbued with the principle of pub
lie as well as personal justice which
his election now would vindicate."
The committee Of twenty-one ap-
pointed by the New York Democratic
union to devise the best plan for
r bringing about a union between the
: Irving hall and Tammany Democracy,
: appointed a subcommittee of five to
f call upon the two existing Democratic
organizations in this city and invite
each Of them to appoint sub-commit-
tee to meet this committee in confer
ence for the purpose of devising a plan
to secure the election of a united rep
resentatiQn of the Democratic party of
New York as delegates to the coming
State convention.
The Senate and House of Represent
atives taken together, contain sixty
three men who, sixteen years ago,
fought against the Union, and fifty
seven who fought for it. There they
are now united and a tolerably happy
family. No nation on earth can show
such spectacle. They hobble about
some without arms and some without
leg, cut, manned and SCARED from
the blows which a few years since they
gave each other. Now, instead of can
: non and rifle, they aim amendments
f motions and resolutions at each other
