POLITICAL NOTES,

Wasuinaton, D. C., Aug. 30, ’80.

The latest full convert to Democracy, as shown in Saturday night’s despatches, is General Benjamin F. Butler. The General is a man of great ability, of vast informa- tion, ef a certain sort of popularity among the people, and with «a record that don’t suit any party. ‘here are mavy Democrats who will rejeice at, and many who will regret, his return to the party he left twenty years avo, and_in the like way Re- piblicans will be divided in feeling as to his loss. I mention the case principally because the Governor is better known here than elsewhere,—- better, perhaps, than in Massachusetts. He has a magnificent residence here, built of granite from his Eastern quarries. A good story is told of the manner in which this stone was brought here. A United States vessel had been ordered here from a part within ‘easy reach of the quarries owned by the General. He kindly offered to furnish baliast, and did furnish it in the shape of the material of which his palace here is built. This palace is really three houses in a row, one of which Senator Jones has long oceupied, one of which the Government rents—perhaps because of the friendly act of the General in supplying the ballast—and the other is the General’s résidence, when here. It is said that the two rented houses bring in enough every three years to pay for the whole structure

{t seems that Senator Conkling has au- thorized a member of the National Republi- can Committee to state that he will make four speeches in Indiana, and three in Ohio. General Grant, it is said, will preside at the first meetings in the West at which Senator Conkling speaks. It is now given out anthoritatively that the National committee will send no money to the South, and that ne republican speakers will go their under their auspices. This last is doubted by many, as it will be remembered, that at the recent Republican conference in New York a contrary decision was announced. Mr. 3laine after the election in Maine will stump the West, going as far as California. General Gartield has informed the National Committee that he considers it vitally im- portant to carry Indiana in October, and, beginning in a few days, the Committee will pour all their available cash into that State, and flood it from end to end with their best speakers.

At the headquarters of the two political committees here—the Cengressional Com- mittees—there is now more activity than before. Senator Wallace has arrived seem- ing te appreciate the propriety of actual work, and Secretary Walker is here also, this being their first meeting efticially since the beginning of the campaign.

Mr. McPherson, who is Secretary of the Republican Committee, and has real con- trol of it, is excellently qualified for the place, and is doing geod work.

A Bombay despatch, under date of Auz. 27th, says: At a meeting under the presi- deucy of Sir James Ferguson, Governor of Bombay, a subscription was opened for the relief of families who have fallen in the Afghan war, and 54,000 reubles collected. The meeting for the establishment of a military relief fund for the widows and children of European and native soldiers who have fallen in the Afghan war has been an immense success. The Gov- ernor was in the chatr, and was supported by all the leading men of all religi- ous nationalities. The Anglican and Ro- man Catholic bishops were on the platferm, aswell asleading Brahims, Mussulmans and Parsees. Great enthusiasm was mani- fested, and fifty-four thousand rupees were subscribed on the spot. Of these the Gow ernor contributed two thousand rupees, and the’ Rajahs of the Nahore and Bow- nugghur ten thousand each. This was a good beginning, and the list is likely to be largely increased.

Guy's, the greatest hospital in London, has of late been in the hubbub of a fierce contest hetween the nursing and medical authorities. Public opinion is largely on the side of the latter. The treasurer has been publicly hissed by the students in a body. Guy’s was endowed, with property now worth $200,000 a year, by a bookseller who had speculated in South Sea stock. He was on the eve of matrimony with his servant girl, but the marriage is said to have been frustrated by the exhibition of a tendency on her part te ‘‘wear the breeches,” by giving anorder toa _ work- man,

TheeRising Star Restaurant.

| | We desire, ina very cordial and earnest |manner, to call attention to this new estab- lishment, which has just been openeé in our city. Nothing of a material character was so urgently calle i for, nothing more suited to our wants; and the parties who have shouldered the responsibilities and anxieties involved in making it a snecess, have ouf#hearty thanks, and we are sure of every well wisher of our community, also. A place of refreshment where a person can obtain a good cup of tea or coffiee, ete., or a well prepared ineal, in airy, neat and tidy rooms, at low rates, and at any time of the day, is in itself a great boon. But when all this can be obtained free from induee- inents to drink, to play cards and billiards, and safe from the temptations of other amusements and practices calculated'to lead from the paths of goed order to abandon- ment, from virtne to vice, we think we have gained a good Jong step in the right direction. Such an establishment as this should be hailed by all well wishers of society, and especially of the young of this city, as well as of the country, as a great boon. How many young men have acquired thejhabit of drinking just because they were compelled to do business in houses where liquor has been sold? They were tos manly in their estimation not to pay for thei use or temporary occupancy of the room, and to remunerate their host called for liquor— the first, and it may be, in many a case, the fatal glass! There, too, is constant ex- posure to come in contact with the hab- itual thirsty man, wWalting an oppor- tunity tu give or get his ev lass ; in a word, exposure to temptatioa im a thousand ways, all of which have been means of ruin tosome. In the Rising ftar Restaurant we have a retreat from all such danger ; and men, yeung and old, from city or country, are not wise if they do not patronise it. We can assure the public ef the Christian character of the parties who have this Restaurant in charge, of their knowledge of the wants of persons from the country, and their ability te meet their wants. All that is required is patronage to render the undertaking a success, and fathers and mothers in the country are not friends to their children if they de not en- courage them to resert to this establish- ment for refreshment, whenever they visit the city. Coffee houses elsewhere have done immense benefit by arresting the tide of drunkenness and immorality, necessarily flowing therefrom. This Restaurant, now established on the strictest temperanee prineiples, and opened to accommodate the public, may do much for us also, Surely the Young Mens Christian Association will help, and the various Temperance organiz- atious will be drawn to it, and give it their patronage and blessing. If they do not do so, we must say that they are not true friends of Temperance or of the rising gen eration. —Com. by a Presbyterian Clerggman,

Tre Ottawa Citizen and other Exchanges publish the following Londoncable despatch;

‘* Another meeting of capitalists has taken place, a lengthy discussion of the proposed Pacitic Railway enterprise ensuing. Twe syndicates are offering for the entire road, the Government to complete that now under contract, the new company to cen- siruct about 2,000 miles, including 645 miles from Lake Nipissing to Thunder Bay, the companp to work and maintain jhe entire road upon completion. It is stated that one offer is for $10,000 bonus per mile, and 50, 000,000 acres of land. Competition arising has been the cause of delay. It is more than probable that the Ministers may sue- ceed in securing certain provisos as io the upset price of land te settlers during a certain term of years whilst such lands are under control of a company. [tis wader- stood that several Canadian and American capitalists have signified a desire to become members of the syndicate ; their agents are now here. It is understood that the boun- dary question has been submitted to the linperial Privy Council for adjudification, Several gentlemen in high positions are about to visit Canada, while others will be represented by agents, for the purpose of visiting the Northwest, where they propose purchasing large estates. Much interest is manifested in Manitoba and the Northwest as a country for settlement, both as regards agriculture and stock raising.”

A Niagara Falls hackman bargained with two young men to take them “ all around” for a dollar, but atthe end of the trip in- sisted upon having eight dollars, which was paid under protest. The young men, who were lawyers, instead of leaving town as they had intended, stopped over, had the fellow arrested, secured a trial after one day’s delay, and obtained a verdict, not only for the eight dollars, but for their board bill, lost time and costs, amounting ‘altogether to between $40 and 50. It was a g od lesson for the Niegara sharks.

News comes from India that the famous car of Juggernaut was net as usual dragged the streets of Puri on the 7th of July, and it seems that by religious custom or law, if it be not drawn on the ninth day of the car festival, twelve years must elapse before it is drawn again. ‘The fact of the car not being brought out this time is attributed by a correspondent to what he calls ‘‘an act of unpardonable negligence on the part of meddling Government ofticials,” and that is all he has to say about it.
