Tyner, the First Assistant Postmaster
General has been invited to send in his resig-
nation. II is believed that Frank Hatton, of
Burlington, Iowa. will be his successor.
A Washington telegram of the 14th
inst, saws: President Arthur has determined
that he will not send in the nominations for the
Cabinet until after the Yorktown celebration.
He said to the Senators tins afternoon that he
would be gratifed if the Senate would not take
any early step toward adjournment He added
that, of course, he would have to go to York
town himself, and he lid be pleased TO have
all of the Senate CO. When asked further rs
to his wishes, he suggested that the Senate
take q recess of several days to attend the Cen
tennial and do honor to the French and Ger
man visitors. He added that he would not de-
tain the Senate many days after the return
from Yorktown"
The formal reception at the capital of
the French and German guests of the nation
was a very brilliant affair. Washington was in
holiday attire, the departments were closed,
and the streets were gayly decorated. Secre-
tary Blaine and President Arthur received the
visitors most cordially.
Secretary Blaine delicately refrained
from inviting the British legation to attend the
Yorktown Centennial. On learning that its
members would be pleased to participate, he
invited them to become his guests on the
steamer which they readily accepted.
Senator Malone, of Virginia, was put
under bonds not to fight duel with Gen.
Jubal Early. 1t lis believed in Washington that
the arrest of Senator Malone was arranged
between himself and a Readjuster friend for
its effect in Virginia. In card to the public
he announces that he will endure Early's in
suits without challenging him.
Scoville, counsel for Guiteau, since
arriving in Washington has had as large a
daily mail as a Cabinet officer. He has endeav-
ored to read and dispose of his correspond
ence, but the task increases SO with each day
that he has sent to Chicago for his steno-
graphic clerk. He expects TO summon almost
every one who attended Garfield during his
illness, especially Swain, Rockwell and the sur
geons.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Elections were held for Governor and
other State officers in Ohio and Iowa on Tues
day, Oct IL. In Ohio the election was an un-
usually quiet one, even for an "off year" in
politics. There was a good deal of scratching
on both sides, and the Prohibitonsts polled
upward OF 10000 votes Gov. Foster and the
entire Republican ticket it would seem at
this writing, were elected by 49, 600 TO $1,000
majority. In Iowa the vote was extremely
ight-probaby 60, 900 less than last year-at-
tributed largely to rain, which prevailed gen.
orally throughout the State The Republican
majority is estimated at this writing, at 40 600
to $4,000.
President Arthur has notified Repub-
lcan Senators at Washington that he will not
for the present make any nominations except
to gil vacancies of minor Importance
The Minnesota Legislature met in ex-
ira session on the 18th inst, called by Gov.
Salisbury TO consider Chamberlain's proposition
for the settlement Of the old railroad debt at
80 cents on the dollar. 1t organized by the
election Of tho officers of last winter.
The Anti Monopoly State Committee
of New York met at Albany to devise ways and
means to secure the election to the Legislature
OF only such persons as are opposed to monop-
olies and to granting corporations undue prvi-
leges and advantages
The New York Democratic State Con-
vention was in session two days at Albany, I'M
der the Craftsmanship of Erastus Brooks. The
Tammany and Irving Hall delegations, from
Naxv Work cif wore avcludad from aaafS IL, fb.
convention by a unanimous vote. The follow

the Rochester Union, Secretary of State
George ii. Lapham, Comptroller Roswell A.
Parmenter Attorney General Robert A. Max

A Columbus (Ohio) dispatch of the
14th inst. says that returns of the election
from seventy-six counties of the lightweight
show Republican gains of 1882 Democratic
gains, 5,643 net Republican gain, 5,139,
which, added to Townsends majority of last
year, gives a Republican plurality of "a, 1870.
The twelve counties yet to hear from will not
materially change the above figures. The
Prohibition vote in the State will foot up lit
tie over $4,000. The Greenback vote will not
exceed 1000. The Democrats take their Wat
erloo defeat very kindly. the Old Liners espe-
cially, who were told to stand back by the
young Eagles. while they ran the campaign,
and are now congratulating themselves that
the young bloods of the party were so thor
oughy worsted." A Des Moines tele-
gram Of the 1ith says that "full and reliable
returns Of the Iowa elections from seventy-two
counties give Sherman (Republicsn) a net ma
jority Of 81 SIG. The returns sustain the pre-
vous estimates that sherman's majority will be
$4,000. The House of Representatives stands,
according TO present returns: Republicans, rs
Democrats, 20s Greenbackers, g."

honest money and economical administration,
and against the high-license liquor law.
1t is positively stated in the club
houses of New York that President Arthur in
tended to appoint Roscoe Conkling Secretary
OF the Treasury, and that the visit Of the latter
10 Washington was to effect a change Of plans.
Complete returns of the result of the
Ohio election show that Gov. Fosters plurality
is a few less than 1000.
William Il. Chandler has been in
Washington looking over the ground and pre-
diets "that every member of Arthur's Cabinet
will be practical politician, and be appointed
to strengthen the party machinery. or Gar
fields Cabinet only Blaine, Window and Kirk
wood were of this class. Hunt, Lincoln, James
and Macyeagh have absolutely 20 value in
politics. He thinks none will be retained
permanently"

Fidelity.

Never forsake a friend. When enc
mics gather around, when sickness falls
on the heart, when the world is dark and
cheerless-is the time to try true friend
ship. They who turn from the scene of
distress betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that interest," only moves them. If
you have friend who loves you-who
has studied your interest and happiness
be sure to sustain him in adversely.
Let him feel that his former kindness is
appreciated, and that his love was not
thrown away. Real fidelity may be
rare, but it exists-in the heart. They
only deny its worth and power who have
never loved a friend, or labored to make
one happy. The good and the kind, the
affectionate and the virtuous, see and
feel the heavenly principle.

Theatrical Perform 4ncc.

Max Fehrmann, as "Uncle Isaac"
will appear at the Opera House Friday
evening. Wherever Mr.. Fehrmann has
appeared he has been well received in
the play of "Uncle Isaac" We believe
we can safely make the assertion that
our people will have genuine treat in
the rendition of this performance.
From the Sacramento Record Union,
where the play was produced Saturday
evening last, we take the following:
"Unc!e Isaac" was performed by
Meade's New York Company again last
evening, and Mr.. Fehrmann proved
even more entertaining in his admir-
able eccentric character and dialect
part than on the first evening. The
company appears to good advantage,
and the favorable opinion formed Of it
Thursday evening was last night con-
firmcd. The play itself is like a cheap
frame to a good picture. 1t serves as
the means by which some admirable
acting is presented, and some Of the
very best of which is found in the
capital disguise of a we'll known men, !
Der of the dramatic profession, whose |
incognitO is his own concern. If the |
success of a performance is to be judged |
by the pleasure it gives the auditors, |
then Mr.. F'ehrmann and his aids have |
scored a success.
