Political Notes.
b. T. BYE REPUBLICAN Candle
DATE FOR CIT Y COUNCIL I'm
THE FIRST WAxD.
ADELE RE-NOMINATED.

1t is probable that Benjamin T. Bye
will be the Republican candidate for
City Council in the first ward, and that
he will be opposed by Councilman Nc
Kenna, or Anton Hauber, both of whom
arc working hard for the Democratic
nomination.
The Republicans of the second ward
have nominated John 9 Kersey as
their candidate for Council, bnt the
Democrats have not yet selected can
didate.
There eeems to be some opposition to
the denomination re of the present incum-
bent, Robert II. Taylor, on account Of
his connection with the p, w. & B.
Railroad Company, and William II.
Phillips.a a grocer in South Wilmington,
has been named in opposition to him.
1t is said that William Bareford, who
has always taken an active part for the
Democrats in this ward, has expressed
his intention of remaining passive in the
coming contest.
Thomas johnson will be the Republi-
will be opposed by the present IN sm Der,
William II. Blake. Mr.. johnson has
carried this ward, and there is no rea-
son why he should not be successful
| this time.
It is probable that Pusey A. Walton
will be the Republican nominee in the
fourth ward, in opposition to Council
man Adele, who was re-nominated by
the Democrats last Saturday.
A. p. Beecher and j. Newlin
iawthrop are the candidates for the
Republican nomination in the fifth
ward, and James Carmichael will be
| the Democratic nominee.
| Edwin G. Moore, the present member
from the sixth ward, has been re-nonli-
mated, and there Is no doubt of his
election. He will oe opposed by Will
liam A. Bleyer, on the Democratic
ticket.
William NJ. Pyle, John n. Dunn,
Elwood c. Jackson and Washipg gtOn
Hastings, have all been mentioned by
the Republicans of the seventh ward
and either of them would make an
excellent member. John Fl. Moore, who
is now serving the unexpired term OF
Samuel Speakman, will be the Demo-
cratic candidate.
In the eighth ward, the nomination
election for Councilman will take place
on Saturday, the 23i inst, and the Re-
publican candidates are ex-Councilman
Abner p. Bailey, Francis M. Barney, .
cabinet maker at the jackson & Sharp
lCompany's shops, and William r. Long,
of the REPUBLICAN. AS a nomination
in this sturdy old Republican ward Is q
Icertainty of election, each of these gen.
tlemen and thsir friends are making q
Thorough and active canvass. Charles
McCloskey will be the Democratic cam
ldidate.
i Councilman James Lynn will be
re- nominated by the Republicans of the
ninth ward. and George 4. Barnhill
will probably be the Democratic candi-
date, although his nomination will be
lopposed by James Walker.
Philip Plunkett will probably be the
Republican candidate In the Tenth ward
in opposition to Councilman James
Murray on the Democratic ticket.
Ex Councilman Samuel Speakman is
mentioned as the Republican candidate
in the eleventh ward, in opposition to
councilman Newell.

this line in our city, Professor A. 8.
Webster, who had the little ones to 60
through quite number of pretty
marches, and several object were made
by them, such as a snake. an anchor,
being rather the most difficult to 60
through, which elicitted frequent
and hearty applause. The girls were all
mounted on skates, which made the
march all the more difficult to accom-
plish with a hitch. Tho effects were
very pretty.
The Professor, on behalf of the man
agement at the rink, presented Florie
McClane, the best dressed little lady.
W ith pair of roller skates, and Katie
Garrett, the second best, with a season
ticket 10 the rink. Besides, the young
Misses who led the march were each
remem bered. There is nothing mean
or stiugy with the management at the
Citizens rink, and they deserve all the
success they are meeting with.
The one mile race between Day,
ffeiifer, stowe ana Crane, came OIL at y
O'Clock in the evening, and was closely
contested by Pfeitfer and Stowe, follow
ed by Day ami Crane, who appeared TO
be only making an effort not to get left
too far behind. The race was won by
by Pfeiffer, with Crane second. Harry
Trigas acted as referee. Time, t.47.
This evening the Mason Aggregation
will hold forth, with Bogert and Emo,

General Grant walks out.

New YORK, May 10.--General Grant
slept fully seven hours Saturday night,
and when tho four doctors of the staff
met In consultation this afternoon they
found the general condition was, II any.
thing, improved but The cancerous
spots were unchanged. DIR. Barker sails
for. Europe this week, and this was his
last consultation before going. When
about TO leave he bid thu General good.
bye and said /:
When l come back in the autumn I
shall expect to find your literary work
finished to your satisfaction.
You don't expect to find me,
though, do you ?" said the General.
shall hope so, anyhow" respon-
ded DIR. Barker, as he went away.
DIR. Shrady said the two new cancer
spots had not perceptibly increased
since Wednesday. The General at the
window waved adieu to DIR. Douglas
as he drove away with his family.
Roscoe Conkling and Cyrus w. Field
called during the afternoon.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon while
throngs were strolling on the avenues,
General Grant, attended only by
Harrison, left his house and walked
towards Madison avenue. His pace
was more brisk than during any
previous walk. As he neared the
corner of the avenue he seized his cane
near Its middle, reached the corner and
walked half the block up town unalded
by his stick. Then. as he felt the
added strain of the slight ascen,
between Sixty sixth and Sixty-seventl
streets. he again brought eae cane into
use.
You seem to have little use for the
cane" suggested q gentleman who
Joined and walked with the General.
"I'll need that yet while, respond
ed the General, half smiling.
And now you've gained another
block ON your walking distance, as tn,
General turned back at Sixty. seventh
street.

And the invalid added :"I will add s

said there was less malaria In the at

The Delaware Ledger, Newark, saws:
There 10 good dealin the !" Morning

dent Pnrnell aud the proposed meeting
Of the Board Of Trustees, on Tuesday.
We have inquired diligently, and no
one here seems to know why the meet
ing Was called at this particular time.
or why there should be reorganization
Of the Faculty. President Purnell saws
that it was surprise to him. He is on
friendly terms with all of the trustees.
and no one has intimated to him any
disapprobation of his course. He has
always been ready to resign whenever
itmight be thought expedient for him
to do 30. His resignation has been
rendered now for the purpose of reliev-
ing the trustees from any difficulty on
his account. He also says there ia
and has been the most perfect harmony
in the Faculty. Representative Arm
strong who was chiefly instrumental In
securing the passage of the appropria.
tion bill says he never heard a word of
objection to President Purnell on the
part of any member of the Legislature.
The opinion here as far as we can
gather it Is that the meeting grows ont
of the report of the Legislative commit
tee, which is regarded as tiiliing and
unworthy of notice. The impression is
that the result willbe injurious to the
insl.tntion. OF course thereis much
sald which Is of no account, and we
turn deaf ear to mere idle talk from
nameless persons.

Or course Mr.. Schofield having had
large experience in raising chickens
has much information to give in regard
to the habits, ways and manners of
chickens in general. The latest exploit
of one of Mr.. Schofeld's hens is worthy
of notice. Said hen had very strong
maternal instincts and went to sitting.
Mr.. Schctield gave her thirteen eggs
upon which to spread herself for three
long weeks. If hen matches eleven
chickens out of 13 eggs she does we'll;

But Mr.. Schofield's hen did better
than this, as he is willing to be quail

chickens out of thirteen eggs, and all the
chickens are doing we'll. The nearest
to such hen was Father
Grimes good old hen that laid an egg
every working day in the week and on
Sunday she laid two. If any body has

ANOTHER CONFIDENCE GAME.

More frauds are sought to be perpe-
trated upon ex- Union soldiers who
draw pensions from the Government
than upon any other class of citizens,
They have long been looked upon as
the legitimate prey of speculative
sharpers who desire to acquire money
and are not particular as to how they
do it.
Not until recently has the attention
of the pension swindlers been directed
TO the eXConfederate veterans, but we
learn from our Southern contemporaries
that swindling scheme is on foot in
that section which the old soldiers
should carefully steer clear of. 1t is
said that X-Confederates who were
conscripted during the late war are re-
ceiving circulars issued by operators in
this city Offering for a small fee to Sc
cure legislation from Congress which
will remunerate them for their time
spent in the army and the injuries
which they may have received
NHllI III AuN vi
their duties. The circulars say
that such legislation can be secured,
because the Supreme Court has held
that the Union was never dissolved, but
had only its peace disturbed by up
risings in certain States; and that it re-
mained the duty of the Government to
protect its citizens from the conscript-
ing officers of public enemies. This is
avery special plea, and the eX-Confed-
crate who was conscripted is asked to
remit to the originators of the scheme the
small sum of five dollars to help the
good work on.
But the confidence game is being ex-
posed, and the enterprising rascals,
who are attempting to work it, are not
likely to make fortune out of IL this
season
