THE Buffalo Courier ventures to express tne opihion
that Jefferson Davis's chances OF obtaining 'no
Democratic Presidential nomination IN 1855 csnno'
be regarded as flattering And yet II hepuoiioan
newspaper should casually drop conjecture W
that effect The Courier and all other valiant organs
of Democracy would holly protest with lndlgn'h0

The continued existence of the lottery business

The Fren;n1 Posfs circulation must be in bad
wav II is scrutinzing the advertising circulars OF
its prosperous neighbOrs and making 1antastic
effort to find ont how they manage to appeal 10 INC
| public and to enlarge steadily their suDScrlptIoh

reelection General Hustled claims that majority

isn't possible Of course, that either OF the candi-
dates il dra wing the long bow. That is something
candidates never do
There is little grumbing here over the determine
tion of the National Baseball League to have only
six clubs in their organization next season. instead
of eight as heretofore. The change Will Increase
the individual expenses of tie clubs IN compelling
them to travel more, but It Will also add to their
receipts by having more home games. Each cub
will MAY ten games with every other club on home
grounds. instead of eight. The long absence from
home grounds will also be shortened nearly one
half The greatest benefit in the change, however,
will ho in the equalization of the playing strength
of the half dozen mines The mines thew will be
| arranged next season will he more nearly matched
than ever before and the pcnnant contest will not
be confined to tv clubs as it was this year. The
managers of the Ncw-York and Chicago clubs have
promised rot to attempt to strengthen their Mines
while the Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit and ST.
Louis clubs are having such strength added 10
them that 1t looks as if they all would do better
playing in 1856 than in lsN5.
The Democrats have been insisting with great
vgor that Mr.. Blaine has nothing in sight. when
he suddenly turns mp as the lucky posscssor of a
sixteenth interest in lead and silver mine that is
supposed TO have twelve oriiftcen million dollars in
sight. His luck does not seem to have deserted
HIM.
The World asserts that the new Public Admins
traitor is only charging all the fees that the law
allows. but that he is absent from his duties cnd
neglectful of them. 1t a remarkable record
made by the late Public Administrator. Agcrnon ;.
sullivan, that in over ten years service he never
accepted dollar of tees OF dollar OF reward for
his labors. The new administration of the office
seems to be in marked contrast to his n gh-mlnded
career
As he couldn't go to court abroad, Mr.. Kelley has
determined to go to court IN tins country. He has
selected this city the place where he Will practise
law.
The silver men are not ovcr-cautious in the
preston of their intentions. From little things
dropped now and again 10y General A. j. Warner
and ex-senator Tabor it is becoming evident that
they intend to push for the unlimited coinage of
silver and wholesale imitation through that channel.
The worst of il il that the Administration in order
to keen its hold the South may be obliged to
enter into some sort OF "a compromise with the na-
