Guiteau says he will lecture within O year. Well, we don’t want to he of his audience, as the temperature down there is reputed to he very warm. Pen. Upton, Assistant Secretary of the Unitad States Treasury, has formal ly tendered his resignation, which has' jjeen accepted by President Arthur. % The report is current in newspaper circles that Gen. L. J. Gartrell will be an indepohdent “People’s Candidate” for Governor of Georgia at; the next pleotion. Hon. Jefferson Davis liaq been invi ted to Attend the Atlanta Cotton Expo sition, bat be writes that circumstances wilt prevent his* acceptance of the in vitation.

This, taken togethe. . selection of a Speaker who is not a ^ liamentarian, nor even a ready, clear headed man, presents an unpromising outlook for the majority. In the determination of the Speak ership contest we had another illustra tion of the magic of the Cameron touch in Pennsylvania politics;.', The,.delega tion from that state was*, substantially solid fpr Hiscock until Dfifojthe.son of his illustrious father, tooff tlrem in hand and won them away frpnj.4iffeir f ositive pledges. What pvonpses'Ubtuade of fa vors from the administration can only be guessed at. Anyhow the Speaker may be said jio owe his elevation to the Cameron influence, whether ho recog nises it or not. According to all ae- con®.te he has an usually difficult and labufious task in the arrangement of the Committees, and an intimate confi dential friend of his said recently that it is likely to be two weeks before they are announced.

In sticking to Orth sp. lgRg they fear they have killed the, goose. Orth would not let them leave him as he set strong.hopes upon the dask-horse hypothesis, and now there is some doubt whether Indiana will get a single important chairmanship. One of the delegation lately remarked that Indiana would have to go' Democratic again to inspire a little greater respect in Republican councils. After President Arthur gets his Cab inet disposed of it is understood that ho will take np the Public Igjfnter con test and select a successor for Defrees. This old public functionary has certain ly been in long enough, tfflSliis admin istration has been scarcqJj^ lpsjjL objec tionable and corrupt th'anihat .of bis predecessor, Clapp. He is £00 old for such a position anchentirely too cranky. There is a strong probability that S. P. Rounds, of Chicago,, will capture the prize. Phono. ilO SOIK The progressive representatives of the negro race in the south seem to have made progress in the wrong direc tion. Smith was expelled from West Point, Whitaker has undergone trial for clipping his own ears to make capi tal, Flipper is being tried by court mar shal for embezzling pubiie'funds, and Hutchins, the Georgia colored lawyer, has been tried and convicted of larceny after trust. Verily, this kind of pro gression will certainly act as a draw back. Thebe is a law in force in Kansas prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in that state,bat it is discovered tlja$ prohibition does not prohibit entirely; liquor being sold in many cities in defiance of the law. Hence, Gov. St. John has issued a proclamation offering a reward for the arrest, with evidence to convict, of any person guilty of selling or manufactur ing intoxicating liquors in violation of the law. Since 1878 the eagle on our silver dollars has grown an extra tail feather. In 1878 the said eagle had 01 Jy seven tail feathers, but since that time the cie has been broken, arid the new one gives the great American eagle eignt tail feathers. Yet the extra feather does not give the dollars a particle greater value, notwithstanding the fact that a man grows in importance when he gats “a feather in his cap.” —An ex-consnl of Great Britain,says the Brooklyn Eagle, related that Mr, Charles Townsend, Sedatia, Mo., was cured of rhenmatism of the worst kind by St. Jacob’s Oil,—Indianapolis (Ind.)
