GEN. CHALMERS, Of Mississippi, denies
the report that he was SO much opposed to
the re election Of Senator Lamar that he
would join the fusion movement to beat
him, and says, on the contrary "While L
am opposed to the re election OF Senator
Lamar, 1 would vote for him myself

THE Tam,nany organizations abandon
ment of its proposal to the New York
county Democracy and the Democrats who
meet in Irving hall to unite with them on
a delegation to the Democratic state con.
ventiOn has made it certain that two, and
perhaps three. delegations from every AS

The New York Independent does rot
know how many Republicans in Penn
sylvania will follow the lead of Mir. Wolfe,
"yet it would not be surprising if the
number should be sufficient to defeat the
regular candidate nominated under the
'bossism of Senator Cameron. We have
no sympathy with such 'bosses' and
would be glad to sec them expelled from
the politics Of the country. Their rule is
one of pure selfishness and iron handed
prescription Of all who refuse to bow to
their behests ~ Y. Independent.
INTELLIGENCis received from the War

nOuuces the discovery of 4 new comet To-
Gated in the constellation of Virgo 1t is
striking coincidence that this new and
bright comet appeared at the same hour
that Garfield was breathing his last. II

Prof. Swift for the Warner prize Of $200

since May first, and of this number four
have appeared from almost the same spot
in the heavens.
One of the results of the use Of elc-
vators in New York, and the construction
Of high buildings, is a restaurant and
kitchen i'll the top story. Instead Of going
down to dinner, the diners 20 up, and
look out from airy perches on broad ex
panse Of sky. The idea Of having a
kitchen in the garret is said to have origi-
mated with Worth, the man milliner of
Paris. It has been adopted in the Union
League clubs new building and at tue
Union club. Tho aroma of cooking
which otherwise pervades house, in spite
of precautions, is thus diffused into the un-
complaining clouds. The new plan is also
advantageous because it saves the most
valuable part Of the building in the lower
stories for more available uses, and util-
ICES part that is generally Of not much
value.
THE succession of Mr.. Fillmore, though
New Yorker of anti slavery antecedents
was the signal for the breakdown of tie
Wing phalanx opposing slavery extension.
That amiable gentleman, though cherish
ing anti.slavery sentiments and sympathies
was wanting in the stern courage and in-
domitable will which was necessary to
cope with the imperious temper Of the
Shareholders. He was sworn in on the
10th, and accepted the designations Of Gen.
Taylor's cabinet Oh the Goth of the same
month. The spirit of the new administra-
ton was not equal to the occasion. They
agreed to compromise; ; and although the
omnibus bill of Mr.. Clay was not adopted
in form, the several measures embraced in
it ware carried. California was admitted
as free state, but New Mexico was ruled
out and the Fugitive slave act was
passed.
In the judgment of the New York
Times, the leading Republican newspaper
of the country. and anti-Arthur, tho new
executive is absolutely certain to impress
his personal traits upon the administra-
ton of which he is the head. Gen.
Arthur is very different man from Gen.
Garfield, but in his way he is quite as pos
tive in his character. He goes into the
scat of the chief magistrate of this nation
with his nature unchanged, his ideas un
modified, his associations derived from his
own past experience. He will give us an
Arthur administration, and it will differ
from Garfield administration even as the
man Arthur differs from the man Garfield.
There is nothing to he gained by shutting
our eyes to facts or to probabilities.
There may he no sudden changes, no
hasty overturnings, but when the new ad-
ministration has put on its permanent
character it will not be continuation of
that begun on the 4th of March.
In the United States courts at Trenton,
