EDITORIAL NOTES.
SENATOR BARNUM, the Tilden mule |
buyer of 1876, is now fairly announced
Is candidate for Cincinnati cOnsidera-
ion himself.
Don CAMERON says that Grant will
have 400 votes at Chicago on the first
ballot, and that he will be nominated
without doubt.
THE President appointed Nj. Ordway.
Of New Hampshire, to be governor Of
Dakota. Ordway was Sergeant-at-arms
Of the Senate for many years.
A CONCURRENT resolution has been
adopted by Congress to adjourn on the
81 inst. This will give the members
an opportunity, if they desire it, to at
tedd the national conventions.
THE Hartford Courant suggests max
ing Postmaster James, of New York,
Postmaster General, taking that office
out of the cabinet, and keeping the Of
ficer as long as he is faithful to his
trust.
IT is announced that the Milwaukee
Daily Banner, the leading German DEM
Ocratic paper in that city, will hereafter
be Republican paper and support the
principles and candidates of the Rcpub-
lican party.
THE dispatches announce that the for
est fires in New Jersey now extend over
a vast region, embracing the most yalu
able cedar timber lands in the state,
and are making their way toward the
sea coast.
THE increase of specie held by the ma
tiOnal banks since the resumption of
date of the last full repOrt-was $62, $780,
hundred millions of dollars.
A NEW YORK Democratic magnate is in
Washington declaring that Governor
English of Connecticut would not hest
tate to spend 100000 for the Cincin-
natl nomination and subsequent cam
paign expenses. The bidding is getting
to be lively.
LONDON advices say the emigration
boom is simply immense. Several steam
ship companies have put on extra steam
ers. Others which sold tickets in adj
vance are compelled to pay detention
money to emigrants waiting their turn.
One company sent out 1000 passengers
last week.
THE mother of Jennie Wade, who was
killed by stray bullet during the battle
of Gettysburg, while she was baking
for TTnfnr cnldinr1 hoc hanr, 70
fused pension On the ground that her
daughter was not obliged to bake the
bread, and may have been doing it for
gain.
THE House Committee on Commerce
voted unanimously to authorize Mr..
Deuster to report favOrably his bill to
regulate the carriage of passengers by
sea. 1t applies to all vessels carrying
emigrant passengers, and makes prOvis-
ion for health and comfort while ON
board ship.
THE Presidential salary question was
brought up in the House last week by an
amendment offered to the executive
clause of the general appropriation bill,
reducing the pay, after the first of March
next, to twenty-five thousand a year.
The amendment was promptly rejected,
without division, by vote of seventy
three ayes to twenty-five noes.
ANY discharged soldier of the United
States who has not made application for
pension on account of wounds or diSabil-
ity received while i'm the service, must
do so before July 1, 1880. After that
time pensions will date only from the
time of application. The same is true
regarding applications for additional
bounty yet claimed by many soldiers.
THE saloon keepers of Chicago, fearing
that their brethren of Cincinnati would
make much greater profit out of the
Democracy at the National convention,
owing to the much greater patronage
they would receive, than they would out
of the Republicans at Chicago, have con-
cluded to double up on the price of lager
beer. We fear even this will not save
them.
THE exodus committee has sent a ser.
geant-at-arms to Georgia to capture and
bring hack to Washington, if possible
their runaway stenOgrapher, or to get
his notes of the evidence, if nothing
more. 1t seems that the stenOgraphel
celebrated the close of the investigation
by having prolonged spree, and went
| to Georgia in the midst of it.
THE Secretary of War and Gen. Sher-
man have each testified in the strongest
terms to congress that the necessity fol
the completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad is great, that large saving OF
expense to the government will follow
and that it will go far to permanently set
tie the Indian question, and prevent the
loss of life and money in future border
wars. Their arguments are convincing
and unanswerable, and ought to prevail
with congress.
