iWhat shadows we are and what
Asuiows we pursue!"- Twenty years
450, and, - indeed, throughout
Grant's two terms, El ihn B. Wash
born, who was buried to-day, was,
next to Grant himself, the mightiest
sum in all this country rouncL- He
was supposed to wield the power of
the Executive. He had trotted the
prospective President around thro"
the Northwest andf had exhibited
him to admiring crowds like a show
horse at a fair, and had gathered no
little personal glory thereby. , He
had established himself as Grant's
mouthpiece, Inasmuch as : he ' had
talked while Grant contented him
alfirith bowing.- On assuming his
vat iu the House his arrogance was
redoubled, and his colleagues, who
had been restive under -its milder
form, bore it "with becoming -pa
tience. Donnelly - alone, Donnelly
of the Bacon-Shakespeare cypher,
took up the fight and the mud flew,
ti ail will recollect:; Each proved
himself a champion mud-thrower
and a thorough master of bulings-
gats. It was generally conceded
that, like the wranglers Dr. Frank
lin tells about, they knew each other
Tery well, but the majority ot uon
RTess remained with the friend of
Grant, and Donnelly went to the
aiL
He went into the Cabinet as Sec-
letary of State, and in a few weeks
rureu wiin me oaors onne xepari
ment still about him to take the
J&ission to France. No one sectnled
surpised that he should thus liLve
the "pick" and choice 6f t he
wst positions in the gift of theM Ex
ecutive. The great men of t he party,
nsually so jealous of each other,-all
flood meekly aside, while Wash-
jura helped himself, and1 coiitented

There is a prospect of a full house
at the, hearing of the anarchist case j
by the U. S. Supreme Court to-iuor-
row.. The court room, the old Sen
ate Chamber, you know, is small,
and will doubtless be packed as it
used to be when its walls echoed the
eloquence of. Clay, Calhoun and
Webster.
Much interest is manifested in po
litical circles here to-night in the
election in Baltimore to-day. All
the Baltiihoreans temporarily resid
ing here have gone home Jto vote.
The Democrats seem confident, but
the division in their ranks makes the
result somewhat uncertain. But
you'll know all about it before you
get this.
RcadingOf that suggestion to use
the monument fund to build an asy
lum for Confederate orphans, as a
memorial to Grant, recalls a conver
sation that I had with a New York
gentleman a few days ago, while
strolling through Central Park. He
told me he hadn't yet subscribed a
dollar to the fund and didn't think
he would, unless the project took
some more useful shape than the
stereotyped monument. We were
then among the statues there, and
had just passed Sir Walter Scott and
his vis-a-vis, (on the opposite of the
road) Bobby - Burns, and he meant
that sort of a thing, of course. There
are a great many of his way of think
ing, but whether they would care to
honor the illustrious dead by repair
ing the damages of the war in this
glorious way, remains to be shown.
Jacobus.
The New York.Herald joins hands
with the Star of that city in uphold
ing '.the regular Democratic ticket.
They are fighting the Times and the
Tribune, regular Republicans, and
the World, a late convert to their
views. The Herald thinks that the
coalitionists will feel greatly dis"
heartened at the result of a similar
movement in Baltimore.
Politics in New York City are
muchly mixed and yet they are not
j-very difficult of comprehension.
The Democrats are united, and have
a strong ticket in the field and the
Republicans there are trying on the
oldjdodge which played the wild
with them in North Carolina. They
have nominated a weak-kneed Dem
ocrat for the head of their ticket.
But the old line war horses are
ready for the fray and they will
whip out the coalitionists there as
they did in North Carolina. The
New York World favors the bolters-
B. F. Butler's argument before the
U. S. Supreme Court yesterday,, in
behalf of the Chicago dynamiters, as
it is outlined in the telegraphic re
ports, was as mild as milk and as
sickening as a spoonful of whiskey in
a tumbler of water. This surprised
us somewhat, we must confess, as
we have long been aware of the fact
that the Beast is as chock-full of in
telligence as he is devoid of princi
pie and decency. As our friend Col.
M - used to say, in speaking of a
local polician, "he is the smartest
d -d rascal in the lot."

City Court.
There was a small docket, for the
Mayor's consideration this morning,
which was disposed of in the follow
ing order:
Richard Stowe, colored, disorder
ly conduct. This defendant was
arraigned on the 25th inst., but
asked for a continuance to enable
him to secure important witnesses.
The continuance was granted but
before he was again locked up he
managed to escape, but after bein
absent a couple of days came back
and voluntarily surrendered 1 him
self. At the trial this morning it
was shown that he resisted and
abused the officer who made the
original arrest. He was finejd $20
for the offense, with the alternative
of being confined 30 days in the
city prison.
Donald Stewart, who was arrest
ed some days since for causing fright
and disturbance in the neighbor
hood of Fifth and Nun streets, was
discharged with the express under
standing that he leave the city with
out delay.

A Good Joke.
We hear of a rich joke which was
perpetrated in this city upon one of
our scholarly clergymen, which is
too good to be lost. A gentleman
who had met with a severe accident
wished to write to his brother, but
was prevented on account of his
wounds. The clergyman in ques
tion, hearing of the man's unfortu
nate dilemma, volunteered to write
the letter for him. The kind offer
was gratefully accepted, the writer,
who is an excellent penman, taking
some extra pains to have the mis"
si ve appear neat arid well written
When completed it was read to the
wounded man who was well pleased
with the contents, but when asked
if there was anything he would have
added, replied: "Yes; say, 'please
excuse bad writing and spelling! "

Hon. C. M. Stedman leaves to

Rev. ,Dr. Yates gave us the pleas
ure of -a call this morning, having
fully recovered from his recent ill

work for the completion of the new

States ville Landmark: Mr. E. A.
Keith, of Wilmington, has been
visiting here this week. He is an
old friend of Dr. S. B. Evans, . who,
by the way, he finds in much better
health than he was a year ago.
Mr. Greorge Harriss, business man
ager for the Jessica Thomas Comedy
Company, is in the city making pre
parations for the appearance of his
troupe in a round of comedies com
mencing next Tuesday and continu
ing five nights. Mr. Harriss gave us
the pleasure of a call to-day and we
found him a pleasant and agreeable
gentleman, who has the satisfaction
of representing a good company.
. Mr. WuiilRUFreneh, agent for the
Acme Manufacturing Company, re
turned last night from Richmond,
where he had been to exhibit some
of the company's manufactures -at
the Fair. He says that the Fair, in
itself, was almost a failure on ac
count of the rain but that the cere
monies in Richmond on Thursday
on the occasion of -the Lee Monu

long to be remembered. "
