times per diem until some days ago
when General Davenport was pronounc-
ed altogether out Of danger. Now the
Judge, being ruthlessly awakened from
his dream of future official greatness,
has Reasoned his friendly smile, and
cordially shakes hands with those Of
high and low estate, as he did before
figuring on making the Attorney Gen.
eralship stepping-stone to a seat in the
United States Senate.
Since abiding among the goodly peo-
pie Of Carson have heard that there is
clique here much given to slanderous
talk. l would never have imagined to
what extent this wicked practice is car
ried had I not visited the house of
leading citizen some evenings past,
where met parcel of the most vene-
nous tongued middle.aged female gos-
sips. Before had been fairly introduced
this one and that one had some unchrist-
ianlike statement to make to me about
an absent one. They did not only
maliciously tongue lash the world wise,
but tried to besmirch the untarnished
names Of young women who, / am sure,
are as pure in thought and action as
their friends could wish. No name was
brought up that was not dragged, with
language polite, into the slums ofinfamy.
The host and hostess are pure minded
people, from whose facial expression /
quickly discernee that they were as
greatly embarrassed by the chattering
of the vituperous old crones as 1 was
disguised. During that evening do
not recollect hearing remark in praise
of an absent one, unless it was uttered
by those whose guest was. l am told
that malicious gossip is peculiar to lit
tie towns. If that is true, virtuous
jewellers in small places are not to be
envied.
Political matters OF local form are
now being discussed here as if it were
on the eve of the county primaries.
And as the people have resolved to ex-
escise their rights this Fall, without the
aid of the alien power which has in the
past shaped our political affairs, some
live times are in store. The most hopeful
are apt to be disappointed, while the de-
serving non.expectant has good chance
to be lifted into Office. am not much
of politician, and even if l were, my
recent arrival here disables me, just now,
to give you an intelligent view of the
local political situation. Though l am
keeping my best ear open TO hear all
that passes, and in my next letter hope
to be able to enter into such details as
will astonish those who think they know
it all. REPUBLICAN.

England mot Satisfied.

1t appears from articles in the Lon
don papers that England is not satisfied
with the nomination Of James G. Blaine
for President. He is too much of an
American to suit them. 1t is strange
that England should have to be consult
ed in regard to the choice of our nomi-
nee for President. 1t is true that Blaine
is true born American and the people
Of this country are proud to say that for
once they have the choice of the people
at the head of their ticket. The Pail
Mall Gasefte claims that wherever
Blaine can GUST British from possessions
in America he will do it, and that his
intervention in Peru was most ominous,
when he declared that he did not like
England to win commercial triumphs
in America. Now this is just such a
man as the people want at the head of
the Government, one who will look out
for the interests of the country whether
it is for the interests of the corporations
home and foreign, or not. AS stated
before Blaine is too much Of Native
American to suit the foreigners across
the ocean and in this country. 1t is
certainly too bad that their wishes
could not have been fulfilled, but the
time has come when Ameyieans are GO
ing to have something to say about
theta own country's administration.

The New York Times does not con-
ceal its chagrin at the nomination Of
Blaine, and denounces the platform as
ridiculous stuff. The Hydd calls it a
queer demagogical production and says
it bids for the votes Of the California
hoodlums, etc. This is all very fine
talk at present, as the above journals
are much disappointed because their
man did not succeed in getting the nom-
nation, but the chances are that before
next Fall they will fall into line and be
Blaine advocates. Their chagrin arises
from the fact that man has received the
Nomination who will not allow himself
to be made a tool Of by the corporations.
AS both Of the above journals are con-
trolled, more or less, by corporations,
it will naturally be to their disadvan.
tage to have an American who under
stands the workings Of such organiza-
tons, and does not believe in them, at
the head Of the government. 1t is pre-.
dicted that the above journals will see
their folly ere long and that the nomi.
nation of Blaine will not seem such a
''queer Pedagogical proceeding" after
all.

devolved upon Governor Adams to ap-
point his successor, to serve until the
next general election. The Governor
has fdHs aeAates in the person Of an
Irish American barrister, much given to
poetry, but usually briefess, upon
whom, almost certainly. the honors and
emoluments of the Office would have
been bestowed. The Judge, as he is
called, all at once became living ba-
rometer, indicating the variations in
General Davenport's illness. When the
latter was not quite so well the Judge
would present more digni6ed front
than ordinarily, as much as to say,
"Keep your distance, for l may soon be
forced to fill an Office of the greatest
importance, rendering it impossible for
me to continue my past familiar relations
with unofficial sovereigns." But when
the health bulletins were more favorable,
then the Judge would step down from
his towering pedestal. These changes
in his demeanor were noticed several
