WASTED HIS OProKTrNrY.--we notice in
some quarters q persistent effort to get up
boom in favor of Judge Thacher for Governor,
during his absence in Europe. We think he has
thrown away bis opportunity. Although recog-
nized as decided prohibitionist, the anti-pro-
bibition Republicans would have generally sup
ported him, had he been the candidate last year;
for they believed him to he moderate and reas-
enable in his views. He had an opportunity in
the Senate, last Winter, to make himself the
strongest man in the State; but he stands to-
day as obnoxious "a st. John, for be attempted
TO do, TO enforce prohibition upon an unwilling
people, what st. John never did, with all his
fanaticism. Judge Thacher labored with all
his might and power, for the passage of law
abolishing trial by jury in certain cases-which
wou,d have covered all cases under the prohib-
itory law, and that was the design. As far as
prohibition goes, we would rather vote for st.
John to-day than for Judge Thacher; and if he
should he nominated, another defeat like that
of last fail would ensue.

10 The Washbnrnes were celebrated family
in American politics, twenty-five years ago, and
during the war. Some four or five brothers of
them became famous, and their integrity and
morals were never questioned. But a singular
fatality seems to overtake them, under which
they die away from home, while seeking treat
ment for some incurable disease. About a year
ago, CadwalIader c. Washburne, of Wisconsin,
died at Hot Springs, Arkansas where he had
gone for treatment for Bright's disease of the
kidneys. Israel Washburne, of Maine, died in
Philadelphia, last week, where he had gone for
treatment for some disease. Elihu B. Wash
burne, of Illinois, has been paralyzed for some
years, and is Liable to drop off at any time.
