 notes and was somewhat erratlc, both as | to the order of the tUIncs discussed and | the ideas presented. He had just ar
 rived from Japan and ChIua on jour- | uey around the globe. Much that he
 sad was about the moral, religious and ! IolItlcal conditions of European and l Asiatic nations and their capabilities | and tendencies. He asserts with great ! UH l strong m the meLts Ci war on land

 IS evidently a learned man, but he makes many gssertlUIs which may be | true but are certainly hot known to be true. His observations are evidently i keen and worldwide.

 Tue political revolution of last 1ues- day is the topic of the day. The De mO,racy are Iubllating over a large vic tory won with scarcely gs many votes as were cast Tor Hancock in 1880 Han cock had less then IOO majority m Cali fornIa, and vet received just about as many votes as S-onenau, whose mBjori- v IS near lS,OUO. Look the tield over in detail, and the Republicans have no reason to doubt victory m 1881 The fact Is that many Republicaus of proni- hence regard the Democratic victory on the 7th as a condition precedent and necessary to success In 1881, and are actually as much pleased over 1t as are the Democracy. The latter find them selves suddenly clothed with immense power. They now have to perform pub lie duty, instead of Obstruct and mis- represent its performance. They will control long session of Congress be- fore the nominations in lS~4. PrOmI- nent Democrats frankly acknowledge several significant facts m thIs wet, " That although their VI .tory K great and maiorities large. they have but few If any more votes than Iu lNNl; that the Republicans have elected nearly ril tt State officers il several States which chose Democratic Governors; that they have prdctlcaiiy lost Virginia and North Carolina; that tLe ta-ii', national hanks. immigration of Cmuas,, ctc., are much easier to oppose than Go deal wIth iu practical ways: and thgt EeuCefurth the Republicans wI.l DOS u.ike any Va5ticg- lar observance uf Sunday and the man ufacture and sa.e of liquors, wines and beer, features of ther creed. Maine and Oregon voted before the latter gues- tiuus were made prominent iu Ohio, and they gave lar-. Republican maiurtIss. when as a matter of fact those States have never been reliably Republican long at a tune. Many Republicans m this State rejoice over the defeat of Es- tee because twice since the war he bolted the nom nation, aud in one cam paicn derlared be had forever left the party and burned tbe bridges behind him. The defeat Of Page for Congress Is a misfortune Co the State; but this political dissertation cannot ne better closed than by quoting the following from the Oakland Tribune, 6 stalwart Republican paper:
