Political Notes.

Hon. VIM. s. Holman, the New ork sun
candidate for the presidency, is quoted by the
Washington correspondent of the New orK
Times as saying that he thought the majority
of delegates to the Democratic national con-
yention would be in favor of the old ticket as
the strongest that could be placed in the held.
'sShould," he said, 'his physical condition
prove equal to the strain, and he will consent
to serve, Mr.. Tilden will undoubtedly receive
the nomination. Mr.. Holman has no doubt
the old ticket would be the strongest that
could be nominated, and has no doubt II
would be elected.
Leander Bulfnch, colored man, died IN
Richmond, Va, under peculiar circumstances.
He was a coal hand, who incurred the enmlty
of his race by voting the Democratic ticket
in the last election. At that time the colored
people were much excited over the election,
and the more ignorant of them imagined that
they would be re-enslaved if Malone was de-
feated. After voting the Democratic ticket
Bulinch's nearest relatives refused to have
ANYTHING to do with him, and he was shut out
from society and church fellowship. He was
taken sick about two weeks ago, and fingered
until last Friday Two or three of his black
friends relented sufficiently to visit him, but
most of his visitors were white men. The
colored people refused to attend his funeral,
and the services were conducted by Ut:
Hatcher, white minister, and he was buried
by white men.
A gigantic civil rights movement has been
started among the colored people in Ohio,
and already over 200 'equal rights leagues
have been organized. The leagues will be
permanent, and will be devoted to the general
interests of the colored race, for which pur-
pose an annual convention will be held for
discussion. A point the leagues will insist on
is the repeal of the black laws on the Ohio
statutes the law making it penitentiary Of
Tense for negro to marry white woman /;
the section permitting separate schools, and
the use of the word white in the constitu-
ton. All these must be repealed, and the
negro put on perfect equality with the white
man. At the meeting of the State commit
tee at Xenia Saturday, constitution and by
laws were adopted and the leagues put on a
firm and permanent foundation.
The West Virginia Democratic State con-
vention will be held at Charleston, Kanawha
county, April 16, to elect delegates to the
national convention. Four delegates at large
will be chosen, after which the members
from the various congressional districts will
caucus and select district delegates.

The Congressional Democratic Campaign
Committee held meeting on Tuesday night
and organized for the coming presidential
campaign. The executive committee is COM
posed of three Senators, one of whom is SEN
ator German, and five Representatives. Thirty
states and four territories were represented,
and the executive committee are empowered
to select members from those states and ter
ritories having no Democratic representation
in Congress,

Legislation against pleuro- pneumonia is
we'll enough, as far as it goes, but the law
ought also to embrace the Texas fever, which
is quite as destructive to cattle, and requires
intelligent legislation to protect our herds
from infection, as much as pleuro- pneumonia.
The Maryland law ought to be so amended,
if it has not already been attended to, SO as to
embrace both of these bovine maladies. A
bill passed the lower house of Congress last
week, which if it becomes a law will partially
meet the requirements of the case, but ouI
own statutes ought also to provide remedy.

The Maryland Legislature is busily at work,
but mostly on local matters. The only mat
tiers of general importance under considers
ton are bills on tobacco inspections, to abol-
ish hay scales and grain inspections, preser-
vation Of oysters, settlement of the indebted
ness of the Susquehanna and Tidewater canal,
to reduce the marriage license fee, to repeal
donations to colleges, and to tax mortgages.
None of there measures have been disposed of.

From present indications the opposing can
didates for the Presidency will be Mr.. Tilden
and Mr.. Arthur. The demand for the old
ticket is SO general that public sentiment of
the Democracy seems to have completely
crystalized around it. On the other hand,
the signs all point to President Arthur as the
coming man to head the Republican ticket,
not the least of which is the sumptuous en-
fertainments which the President is spreading
before his guests at the White House. Moth
ing like them has ever before been witnessed
in the Federal city.

The New York Sun of Wednesday says
editorialIy: Considering the overwhelming
strength Of public feeling that is daily mani.
tested in all parts of the country in favor Of
offering to Mr.. Tilden the most energetic and
unquestionable testimonial Of the confidence
and affection ofthe Democratic party, namely,
a nomination to the presidency, without in
quiring beforehand whether he will or will
not acceptit, only the blind and deaf would
imagine that this feeling can be ignored or
overruled. If the people so will, their man
date must be obeyed It would be folly, for
the delegates in a national convention to
think of resisting OF foiling their purpose.
