In October and November Danville paid alame over $1,500. When they hold a fair in New York it pans out worth talking about. The Seventh Regiment's Fair is Btill progressing.

The count will be completed December 12. So be it. There is no doubt of one thing: it is the unanimous opinion of all the Democrats in Congress that a short, business session is the thing to be de sired and to be arrived at. Let them stick to this programme. Tilden will let the country know r, If what he will do by January 8th he agrees to retire, he will support any Democrat bat Tharman and ,.na Bayard. That is the very latest it comes through a Republican cor respondent. How true, we are not informed. The latest about Seymour is the following from the Richmond Dis patch's Washington letter: "The advocates of Mr. Seymour are coo- ... i i . . j ciliatory, and have at every turn to deny the reoort that lie win not accept, xto one Says anything unkind of him, and all con cede that if be will run that he can carry New York. 1 heard a Seymour man to day assert with a knowing air tbat Hen dricks Will accept the second place on a Seymour ticket." orth Carolina Republioans aro beginning to boom for John Sher man.

Certain attorneys for An droscoggin county asked the Govern or and Couucil for the election re turns, that they might make correc tions and alterations. Ah! The Governor replied that this could not be, for "according to the Constitu tion no corrections, amendments or substitutions of records can be made." Good for Garcelon and his Council. They will allow noHampering with the election returns by the Radical manipulators. That Maine Governor is evidently fashioned out of good stuff. Col. Alex. McClure, of the Phila delphia Times, an uncommonly shrewd politician, is in Washington. e writes, on December 2d, as to the nol:tic., olltio0k: i "About the only thing developed here in Democratic circles is that I i Id en and Hen dricks are mutually against each other for 1880. Tilden is authoritatively quoted as calculating on Democratic auecess next year without Indiana, as be counts New Jersev and tjonnecticut as secure h me party can cut loose from Western financial I heresies. Hendricks, who is now here, is autboiitatively quoted as peremptory in de clining to run on the ticket with Tilden, although be is not positive iu declining to take the second place with Seymour. Ueiieral Burnside made a strong speech in the Seuatu in support of the Monroe doolrine. He was listened to attentively. The Richmond Dis patch's special from Washington says: "It was clear that be does not want any improvement like the Nicaraguan canal to be controlled by foreign powers, lie did not fail to contrast our vigorous republic with the effete dynasties of the Old World. Gen. Burnside is not ultra in politics, and is personally very popular with Democrats. He voted with the Democrats on the army bill at the extra session." During the extra session an effort was made to transfer the manage ment of Indian affairs from tha Inte rior Department to the War Depart ment. The political questions shoved this measure aside. Gen. A. M. Scales is chairman of the House Committee on Indian Affairs, and he if confident of success in the proposed measure this session. He thinks a vote will be reached before many weeks.
