PUBLIC OPINION.

We give below extracts from several
ing Eastern journals that are supposed
fleet the opinion Of the masses upon al
rent political topics of the day. At thu
ent time they are instructive reading q I'd
who desire to learn the drift of sentinI
the Atlantic states:
THE FUNDING BILL.
The ostensible reason given for call,
extra session Is the necessity of pas
funding bill, approved by large concres
maiorities and the people generalls
killed by a republican veto, this in itse2
confession Of weakness. We do no
that a funding bill can be passed in The
seventh congress which does not contai
national bank provision at which MI.
veto was directed. The anger at the mi
employed by sundry of these banks to
the bill has not abated. The mass }
western republican congressman, al
fresh from their constituents, will assn
favor the adoption Of the Carlisle Clan
the bill, and compel it. II President
field, who asked Hayes to veto the bill, 4
sistent with himself, he to will veto ii. !
split between republican president AM
publican congress is the result. If he
it he puts his party on record before the

KILrATRICK's ANTICS.
OF course the roaring Fitzpatrick is !
front again. With the same dexterity M
once escaped, h~atless, coatless and sbol
and astride of a mule, from Wade Ham
in North Carolina, the general slid out
under and made tracks for Washington. n
he is ready to take the first administI

MALONE.
And while senator Malone is thus md
himself useful, there is something he cad
in the way Of improvement, especialI
speech. He may b ave eft and bled" for

The past is past. But he acts with rep1

WARNED.
We have no doubt whatever that a cod
cradle number ofthe democratic senatos|
representatives are now inspired by tile I
ton that they a make considerable Il
capital by initiating the republican I'd
with regard to the late funding bill. I'D
attempt anything of the kind, however, l
will make an v worse mistake than
republicans did by their opposition to
bill. The public wants the block OF I'D
debt about falling due funded OH the I
advantageous ~obtaiuable terms. The I
ton of P~artisanship has nothing whatep4
do with the Observation-Disclosures Telea}

THE COLOR LINE.
The desire of the republicans OF Sd
Carolina to have a white republican partd
that state is natural, because they can 10
hope to win with a black republican par!
distinctly opposed to a white denGd
party. But it will be very difficult tot
this until there is a black democratic pd
Whenever there IS a complete fusion of NJ
and whites in both factions, or, in Of
words, when the party line ceases to the
or liue, the republicans will have an Y
chance with the democrats, not only in 81
Carolina but in every southern state.-Pl
