Political Clippings

President of the United States, but se that In; is installed, and he feels som anxiety to know bow they will manag whn they havo control of the 8(),00( Federal officials. Tho gentleman need uot be disturbed. The Democracy will see to it that the officials attend strictly to their own business, and as they nave already done where they have had the power, they will take good care that the business of the governinent is dono iauch better and far more cheaply than when it has been undertaken byliepublicans. - Pree Press. Nobody objects to the coiuage of a silver dollar wliieh shall be and remain of equal valué with a gold dollar, if that is practicable. But that is not satisfactory to the owners of silver mines, speculators and jobbers. Neither will it be satisf'aotory tor the laboring man to stand a ten por cent. reduction of his wages, and the savings bank depositors to have their hard earnings depreciated ten per cent. to swell the profits of a shrewd class of adventurers. The sooner Congress becomes convinced of this the better it will be for all concernod. - Boston Post. The Utica Iiepiiblicnn, Conkling's home organ : It is time that the shallow and lying pretensa that Presidoni Huyes has no personal aima to serve in his appointments was dropped. The fact is patent that ho is trying to create a party of his own, and to strengthen it by seleetions for official positions ; and it is equally evident that he has been iuiposad upou by the worst set of political trainps and vagabonds that ever disgruced au administra tiou docket. Gen. Butler seoms to have put all thosu aricks very carefully back into his hat and rammed it tightly down over his ears again ; V. E. Chandler has retired io his holo ; Conkling has pulled down lis vest and braced up with an air of ïndifferenee ; and the Keturning Board rogues have once uiore directed tbeir attention to the appointment of the Louisiuua offices. The storm hasapparently blown over. - Baltimore (inzette. Packard has becoine so friendly tha ie will take an office if he is asked. Ele would not do this whon he could get me, and now it is doubtf'ul if be can iet an office when he wants it. He lad a lingering expeetation tbat be would got the New Orleans collectorship, which has been given to Williamson ; and now ho is waiting for the Jentral American Mission which has ust been vacated by the newly apjointed colloctor. - Vree Pret. Cliarlos Stimner has gone to a better world, and Grant has gone to Egypt. Writers might employ their time better than by dtseussing thequarrels between those two men. Mr. Sumner was a high-toned scholar, refined to a fault, and ho always labored undor the impression that Grant was not a gentleman ; in tact, said so ; and to put it mildly, Grant apperrod to have a prejudice against Mr. Sumner on that account. - New Orleans IHcayune. Wendell Phillips considers it certain that the next President will bu a Democrat, and the next Vico President a Confedérate major general, unless it is Lamar. "The South is vaultiug into the saddlc, and Hiyes is holding the stirrup." Whon she is warm in her seat then will come various things, among tlirni chaos. The outlook is absolutely awful. - Chicago Times. Stanley Matthews catches more than his Miare of popular conteiupt. There is no proof that he is more of a i'raud than a dozen other Kepublicans who were deep in the controversy. - iV. T. Hxjirem, Peaco and qniot reign through Louisiiinii; the most cordial feelings exist between Democrats and Kepublicans. There is neither tumult nor agitation, but in their stead harmony and composure. - Ez-Qov. Wirmoth. Amerioan telegrama now indioate i !■■ robability of the governmeut bonds eing paid on the silver basis - a uilvor ar being at the present prico of silver 0 per ct'iit. below a gold par. Watevor jrioe silver may ultimately riae to, such hange must disturb the credit of he government mnking it. - ljomlon íconomist. There is this oonsolation : If Huyes made any bargains with Southern Demcrats, he stuck up to 'em like a little man. That is to say he bounced Cham)erlain, Stearns, Packard, and the Fedral troop9. The solid South could mand no more.-
