The New York limes, the leading

Gem Grant notifies the country

Presidency of the Nicaraguan Canal
Company. He will more probably
accept the Republican nomination
for a third term.
The Richmond State has a good
theatrical critic. He gives Miss Agnes
Herndon great praise, and eveu
prophecies that she will equal if not
surpass any tragedienne now on the
stage or who has preceded her.
Well, if she comes this way, we will
see for ourselves whether she has the
material in her out of which to fash
ion a Janauschek, a Gush man, or a
Mary Anderson.
The papers have been trying to
make it appear that Horatio Seymour
would not accept the nomination if
tendered him. The New York Herald
has specially interviewed him on that
point and he did not say he would
not. He modestly said he did not

think he would be a strong candidate,
and that he did not think there was a
general disposition to nominate him.
But he did not decline. The Herald
aays "it is the prevailing opinion that
the success of the Democracy depends
or hinges on the nomination ot ex
Governor Horatio Seymour for Presi
dent." We have published our own views
of the Maine affair in our leader of
to-day. Since we read the proof in
type we have met with the following
paragraph in the Washington letter
of the Richmond State:
"Northei n Democrats do not very heart
ily approve of the action of the Democratic
Governor and council io 'counting out'
the Republican legislative majority on
merely technical ground. They fear it
will have a bad effect upon the vote in
doubtful JS or them States. . Most of the Re
publicans whose opinions have been ob
tained would advise that no forcible mea
sure be taken to regain control of the State
legislative and executive machinery, be
cause they believe prudent submission, fol
lowed by a 'thorough awakening of the
country to the grosaness of the outrage,'
will result in a leaction that .will swell .Ke-
publican majorities in every Northern State.
Senator Hoar aays the Maine affair has
greatly strengthened Grant for the Presi
dential nomination. The question wno
shall be nominated depends upon the con
duct of the Democrats."
Our readers will see that our fears
as to the effect are justified by the
above. The Democrats will lose
more than they can gain.
It is thought in Washington that
there will be warm work in Wash
ington when the pay of United States
marshals comes up. The Democrats
will adhere to their determination not
to vote for the jpayment of deputy
marshals to be used for partisan work
at the polls. The State's special of
the 19tb says :
"Recent agitation of this matter has
brought to light what seems to be reliable
information thai depuiy marshals were ap
pointed for service at the California elec
tions in November upon the supposition
that Congress would appropriate this win
ter the money with wnich to pay them.
This the Democrats are unwilling to do,
and upon this issue may come the warm
work of the winter."

Attempted Bobbery
On Thursday night last an attempt was
made to rob the premises of Mr. King, on
Market, between Second and Third streets.
Mr. King says: "1 was awakened by my
dog barking, and descending to the work
shop I saw a man making across my neigh
bor's yard with several of my kitchen uten
sils in both hands. As I had previously
lost on several occasions by these preda
tory excursions, I no sooner saw him than I
"turned loose," and from the blood marks
on several objects and the howl of pain,
coupled with. the very sudden dropping of
the spoils, I am inclined to think there is
work for a surgeon. A number of gentle
men came nobly to the front, and probably
owing to their presence and eff orts to dis
cover the rascal, his partner, who was no
doubt near at hand, was frightened away
They bad taken out of my wood shed about
a cart load of stuff, and when discovered
were in the act of carrying it off; but that
old 'boss' pistol put a stop to further pro
ceedings."
Prtbla.ii Ball.
The second annual Pythian Ball, under
the auspices of Germania Lodge, No. 4,
will take place at Germaaia Hall on Thurs
day evening, January 1st, 1880. Our Ger
man friends know exactly how to manage
such affairs in order to make them a grand
success, and it can therefore be taken for
granted that the ball in question will be an
entertainment well worthy of the patronage
of those who may have an inclination to
"trip the light fantastic" on the first day of
the new year.
Alarm of Fir.
There was an alarm of fire yesterday af
ternoon, shortly after 8 o'clock, but the
