United States moro than they do their own
countries, and they expect to become citizens
of this country rs much as they do to got up
in tho morning. You will not find un Irish
boy to-day who does not confidently count on
starting for America rs soon as ho is old
enough. All ain American has to do is TO de-
claro his nationality and no can have any
thing no wants ia Ireland. They feel over
there that Ireland is merely state out of tho
union. If it should by chance obtain their
ndcpdeponce they would not bc ten days an
noxing themselves to the United States.
1T would be Il good thing for tho United
States to establish educational institutions in
ireland and Germany, and teach the youth of
both lands how to become citizens of the ro-
republic. Ii the youth were properly in
structod before they landed Mt Castle Gar
don there would be loss trouble here. They
would have less TO learn, and it would not
take them so long to learn it. BY all means
let us start schools in these two countries"
Meeting tho traveller no said :" 1t has often
occurred to me that the winter sanitarium of
this country in the future will be found in

Down about Mcs5la is certainly tho very
perfection of those conditions of mir and
temperature the physician seeks in winter
for his delicate and weak lungod patients.
There is situated there an old mission
where the worthy fathers have for gene
ratons cultivated tho rose and the orange
and tho grape. Frost, cold, fog, and rain arc
unknown. All day long tho sun shines bright
and clear, while the soft and balmy air is of
marvellous purity. With irrigation there is
hardly limit to tho productiveness of the
soil, and l have no doubt that every sort of
tropical fruit and flower that grows in Cali
lornia or Florida will rs readily succeed
there. Tho delicious wine made ut the mis-
sion would win plaudits at Dolmonico' $, and
certainly it is hard to conceive of anything
moro strengthening for tho invalid

cheorfully observed the hopeful republican,
"and | firmly believe that the republicans are
going to win again next year. This is tho
way figure it out: Gen. Butler has given
notification of purpose to run for president
next year, and his friends are already at
work. He will be tho first man in tho field,
as the nominee of labor organizations, green
hackers, cheap transportation people, anti
monopolists socialists and all the other
sdo show parties, mono of which
would command special attention taken
singly, but in tho aggregate they
represent between 1,25O,0OO and 1,75O,oO0
votes, too large an element to be ignored.

tion, and failing in that no will run on
conglomerate platform rs free lance candi-
date. He will have u strong following III the
democratic convention, but the southern in
fluence will kill him, and he will fail to got
tho nomination. As an independent go-as-
you-please candidate Butler will get 70 per
cent. of his votes from tho democratic
party. The workingmen have blind conf
| dence in him, and they will stand by him
through thick and thin. He will prove astrong
candidate before the people, and although
as an independent candidate ho cannot win,
he will be able to compel tho democrats to
take him up in 1883. The republicans will
select the next president, and Gen. Butler
will move into the white house four years

such programme as Gen. Butler has marked
out for himself but with him it is different

Tho survivors of the Mexican war resident
in Washington are making active prepara-
| tiOns to give their visiting comrades q rous-
| ing reception on the occasion of tho national
reunion in this city, which is set for Dec g.
| 7, and s. There are only about 6,000 sur
vivors of that war left, and the local commit
tee expect that between 500 and 1000 of the
number will be here at tho reunion. These
men, to whose valor the United States
is indebted for tho acquisition of u
vast territory, embracing New Mexico
Colorado Arizona, Utah, and California, will,
ii is understood, mako an appeal to congress
for recognition more commensurate to the
value OF services rendered than hns yet been
accorded to them. Public spirited citizens
who have been approached by the committees
of the local associations have responded lib
orally, and there will be no lack of means fol
entertaining tho visitors. 1t is understood
that u mooting of interested citizens will b,
held at an carly day to perfect arrangements
and select u subcommittee to act jointly with
the committees Of the local society of vet.

"What effect will the result in Ohio hav
upon the election in Virginia?' asked u RE.
PUBLICAN reporter Of prominent Virginia
Ieadjustor.
"Those who arc best posted in the affair
of the state" was the reply, think it will
have no effect at all upon our party. You
see, we are bound to got rid of the bourbon
party, aud cannot afford to retreat in any
way. The colored men are with us in oppo
stion to the bourbon democracy, and OF
course thoy can bo rolled upon, and tn
whites who have entered into tn
roadjustcr movement cannot with an
self respect abandon the course the!
havo marked out but must 90 on
We are so earnest in our work and so firm il
our convictions that l doubt if the Obi
election, unfortunate though it is, will hay
any perceptible influence on the vote in Vir
ginia."
