While the nomination of Garfield and Ar thur is unquestionably a weak one in many respects, it is not so weak as to give the Democrats a walk over or to open a hopeful future to the third parly.

The fight will be between the Radicals and the Democrats. I am not assuming, and 1 do not believe, that any blunder will be made by the Democrats at Cincinnati. I think they will act intelligently, and in that case every Democrat in this city, in and tint of Congress, is confident the dintiiinfiti candidate will be elected, j. The one thing necessary in selecting a candidate is to avoid taking one about whom there is some kind of suspicion of financial irregularity as against Garfield. This should be in sisted on, first and last by every dele gate. One of the cases against Gar field may be stated as follows: In 1873 the government of this District, through expensive improvements of streets, was hopelessly bankrupt, and ‘Boss’ Shepherd, the head of the government; asked Congress to vote two or more millions of aid, Geueral Garfield was Chairman of the corns mittee on Appropriations—the com mittee from which the recommenda tion to the House to vote money must come.

At a recent annual commencement of the New York medical college and- hospital for women, at which degrees were conferred upon six lady gradu ates, one of the speakorg, a gentle man, said : *To you, young women, I will say : If I were a woman, which I am thankful 1 am not, I would never ask for rights; I would take them. I will venture a prophecy that people in future ages will reckon as au ele ment in the barbarity of our time, that women are not more largely used to administer to the liodily ills of our society. That it is so, is an outrage on the delicacy and ability of woman. The demaud for women as physicians is not only the demand ot decency, but also of Christianity.’ Mr. Flood, the ‘Bonanza King’ o the Pacific coast, spent Sunday in Newport and took a drive about the city, lie was accompanied by Ulys ses S.

The Telegraph and Messenger speaks thusly in regard to Mr. Hayes veto of the bill providing for U. F. Deputy Marshals at the polls : The plea in justification is the f»«- rity of the ballot ; that is to say, a ballot gua'-ded by legions of partisan Radicals, without a Democrat among them, must necessarily be pure and impartial, while a proposition to di vide the force must necessarily imply fraud ! In all this long struggle in Congress, on the one snle for au inde pendent ballot, and on the other for a ballot under exclusively Republican domination, this insulting plea lias been set up bv a yarty which has but one design in relation to the ballot, and that is to make themselves in<fe> pendent of it!
