POLITICAL NOTES. The Democrat? are making a second attempt to ?carry Louisiana aud Florida by blutier. An able commentator remarks that the Dftnocracy ha? climbed by natural suites from ero?* to ?Crouiu. The lH?t<_ah is worse than toe ttr?t. It is solemnly announced from Washington that the most prominent feature of the gi-e.it Citiuiu is bis nose. Hitherto his cheek has been couwdeiod most phenomenal. What has become of Gen. B. F.

The talk about a compromise ou Tilden aud Wheeler ha? been started again. There Is a suspicion tiiat it originate? this time In the Tilden Editorial Ilui-eau, which is simply awful. Proctor Knotto anxiety to gvt hold of some one's else telegrama Is in striking contrast with his con? duct of last session. Then be was so ciu e 1rs? on the sub? ject that be forgot all about mentioning u nioM imp?t last dispatch which was addi t .ssed to him, but belonged to the whole country. Gov. Tilden may brace up now. Tammany Ball say? he la elected, und the country will of ooitr?t< listen with profound respect to an opinion from Ilia! quarter. It la equally Interesting to know that Tam mauy disapprove? of " blind partnership," and fear? a **fraudulent conspiracy" which may "prove fatal la the free tastituUon? of the country." The declaration bSS all tke aolrnin lmprt-ivtlvt-uriia which haoaa ul.? uti a St nnoa on tlie evils of uitenipciano? trom a late occu? pant of th?- gutter. The Democratic editors who have been as? sailing Ooogrrasman Hill for hia conservative sentiment? Should cot be too rash. Mr. Hill assures the Washington eorrespondents of Southern journal? that be is in potftMt accord with Gov. Tilden, and that the men who are Und m? tault with him are alUckiu?- the Governor at the aame Qmr. There is no reason to douM this? statement. Oov. Tilden ha? never been ?impeded of siiipltlltt, aud aoue but a stupid iuhu would thinlt of strengt hen lofl hit aaae by talking about war at a time like this. Gen. Grant doesn't want to be United State? Senator from Illinois, even with the prospoct of being tent to the White House again, through the Presidasucy of-the-Senate back door. He say?, according to a 0rspA?corr?Mpond'-nt. that assoon as be saw the suir gestinn Is Chicago newapapers be wrote to bis friend? in Illinois that he couldn't be a candidate for three reason?, vis.: (1) That be hadn't lived enough in Illiuois to make ttdeoeot; (2) that be bad served the oublie sixte* u years, sud meant now to take a rest; atid (I) that he ws? warmly in favor of the r??lection ot Hcuutor I.?<itti. Congressman Douglas of Viririnia is not tsxloua for war but be u Milling to flgbt If the Nortlu-.rn DetaocraU will lead the way. He saya in a publinhcd letter : " My position is and has been well known both to Northern and bouthern gentlemen in Washington ever aw* the fh-at few days after Congress assembled.
