IT 13 s.AI that through famine an Slall)ox, in the province of Cear in Brazil, one-half of a total poptuhl tion of a million souls have perishe in two years. Letters from tl stricken region bristle with horrors. ZACu CHANDLER has been nominal ed by the Republican caucus to su< ceed Christiancy as United State Senator. One by one the old Gran hacks are getting back to Washing ton. Zach Chandler and Logan wer shining lights in the era of violene and fraud. The Grant movement i booming. FItED DOUGLASS objects to Senato Windom's scheme of colonizing thi negroes in one of the Western terri tories. He says that Massachusett fifty years ago was is bad a place fo the colored man as Mississippi I to-:lay, and prophesies that publi opinion in the South will change as 1 has done in the North. PETER CoorEa's sixty-sixth anni versary was celebrated on the 14th b a large number of friends who gavi him a reception.

But sentimen is divided on the second proposition It is urged that only California wil elect Congressmen this fall, and tha Congress next winter can repeal thn law in time for 1P80, without corn pelling an extra session now. Whil we have advocated an aggressivi course, we must confess that the op position of' such meni as Uinyard am Kermnan, especially tihe former, shouk make the D)emocrats weigh the conse quences carefully.
