POLITICAL POINTS.


Senator Howell E. Jackson consulted his owl
feelings he would doubtless abandon tn,
campaign in disgust.
GENERAL WHTTTHoRNE had 4 very warn
reception at Nashville on Friday, and mad,
a strong speech, in which he urged the cleo
ton of Bate.
TIE Pamela Star says that General Chal
mers represents nothing but his lust fol
Office and his grievance against Senator La
mar, while Manning represents the Demo
cratic party and its principles.
The Mississippians in the departments al
Washington are watching the fight ovei
the Oxford (Miss.) postofice. The Post
office Department still hesitates about put
ting out Miss CrandraIl and putting in
| Chalmers' man.
The average white hepuDiiCxn nas az use
for the negro except as a voter. Henry
Demas, colored, has been nominated for Con.
gress in Louisiana, but the white Republic
cans bolted the convention when their colored
brethren outvoted them.
In a letter to the Montgomery Advertiser,
Senator Pugh denies in toto that in his inter.
view with the representative of the New
York Mail and Express he said that Southern
Democrats should cement an union with
Northern Republicans
ARKANSAS led off Monday by lis usual
Democratic victory. Vermont followed
Tuesday with Republican victory. Maine
speaks next Monday, and her election is
likely to play an important part in de-
terming doubtful districts.
Elk GOVERNOR HOFFMAN, of New York,
says the Democratic party needs the burial
of few men and the resurrection Of few
principles. Perhaps the governor can name
the principles which he thinks should be
dug out of the debris Of the psst.
| The Baltimore Sun, speaking of the Hub
bell and State Republican assessments upon
| government employees, says: "Take away this
power and the machine is broken. No
compulsory assessments should be the cry
of every reformer in both parties alike"
The New York Times says through staff
correspondent that an alliance has been
formed between Ex-senator Conkling and
Jay Gould to wreck the Republican party
of that State. Well, we are glad to hear it,
Gould generally succeeds whenever he under
takes wrecking business.
lMR LAMB, who is at present absent from
the city, is most favorably mentioned as
candidate for the Legislature. Mr.. Lamb is
a member OF the Memphis bar, and if nomi-
mated would make brilliant canvass. He
is we'll qualified to fill the position if his
friends can succeed in securing his election.
JAY HUBBELL's collector for the Treasury
Department says that during three days at
the beginning of this month he collected be-
tween S300Qwsnd $4,000 per day from the
treasury employees. Pay day occurs on the
18th of the month, and he expects to do as
well for three or four days about that time.
The election of the most importance dur
ing the month is the State and congressional
election in Maine, which comes off next 1
Monday, the 11th instant. The contest will
be close one, and there are SO many COM
plications entering into the contest as well |
as tickets 10 divide up the vote, that the re-
suit is considered very doubtful.
THERE is a large Democratic majority in |
Tennessee, and Mr.. Hawkins can only be l
elected by dividing the Democracy. To /
effect this, Mr.. Fussell is put forward, pons |
asinOrunu, by so-called Democrats, the leaders
of whom are either bondhoIders or ringaters
in the employ Of The bondholders and rail-
roads. So says the Savannah Transcript
SEVERAL of the letters of Star-route Dor
Iey to General Garfield have been pub
ished, and none of them is seriously denied |
o be genuine. The friends of Dorsey are
asserting that Dorsey has letter from Cen
raj Garfield offering Dorsey position in
he cabinet. The publication OF that might
promote harmony, says the New York World. |
THE New York Times thinks that the
usion business in Maine sis the most I'M
maneuver that has ever appeared
D conspicuousIy in American politics.
rhereupon the Baltimore Day asks: 'Does
he Times consider it any more unrrincipled
ian the equally conspicuous maneuver of
Iahone and The administration for the fusion | {
! Virginia."
A VIRGINIA Readjuster ofice-holder fig
res up the following assessments which
ave been levied upon him to date: Jay
-ubbelPs two per cent, Mahone's first as
ssme emf, three per cent; his Congressional
district Committee, one and half per cent;
is County Committee, SO; and Mahone's
cond assessment, 500, total of fourteen
# cent. on salary of $3.50 per month.
A REPUBLICAN, member from the "Pal.
et9o State" is probable; perhaps another
ay creep in from Mississippi and Tennes-
e, and there are chances of two or three
eadjuster congressman from Virginia; but
is is about all the Republicans can hope
r. The present outlook is for decrease of
e anti-Democratic strength in Congress
pm the South from eighteen to five.
ACCORDING to the Columbia Is. C) Register,
e Republicans and Greenbackers of that
ate have formed a coalition, the terms of
lich are that the Greenbackers shall aid in
e election of Republican representatives
I'm the lower counties, and that the Repub-
ANS shall aid the Greenbackers in the | A
rlhern counties. The Greenbackers are
20 pledged to support Republican nomi- a,
es in three congressional districts. -,
COLONEL S. NJ. RoANE,'of Walthail, has | "
nounced himself an Independent candi- "
te for Congress in the Fourth district of | a
ssissippi, in opposition 10 the Hon. H. d. | tr
'ane says he has taken this course beca use
believes in rotation in Office, and because n
does not think Mr.. Money is in accord As

The American says that the good that Sem =, n'
n Harris may accomplish in this canvass as
], beyond the peradventure of doubt, be 81
long after the election shall have been a nc

WHAT" inquiries the Boston Herald, sis h.,

J, browns its weightiest word. 1t breaches der
