Virginia Democrats claim the State
BY twenty thousand majority and the
Mahonites claim it too, aud invoke all the

1t occurred to Southern folks of
common sense who read the Depew letter
about johnson and Grant that it was
mostly mere stuff, and we are pleased to
note that the more sensible portion of the
Northern press holds the same opinion.
The rising town of Callahan was in
oorporsted as such by the action of
meeting held on the 18th. Mr.. J. 0.
Harris was elected Mayor, and the Record
expresses much satisfaction because OF
the excellence of the choice.
We most heartily endorse the sug-
gestion of the Tampa Tribune, that ex-
Gov. VIM. D. Bloxhsm be appointed to
the position of Surveyor-General made
vacant by the resignation of Col. McClel-
Ian. It would be a most excellent ap-
pointment.-MonticeN Constitution.
1t is in the discharge of painful

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
is now disposed to be very friendly. 1t
says: eve believe commerce should
now usurp the place of politics, and it is
time we should again cultivate business
relations with the South and reach out for
the South Americas" Never mind about
the business relations with the South. If
the Commercial Gazette will only reach
out promptly for the South Americas,
say some point in Patagonia and stay there

The Philadelphia Ledger says
"When the Ohio Democratic bosses were
engaged last year in defeating ex-senator
Pendleton, and in ignoring ex-senator
Thurman, they little dreamed that they
were settling the election this year also
against their own Governor and also in
