A Stalwarts Predictions.

Thii ly locomotives are said to have b«en smashed on a Virginia railroad within the pasture weeks. Hon. George Major, in the election for Prison Directors, received a larger number of votes than any of the successful candidates. A divorce in t ie morning, a license in the afternoon, and re-nv*rrie«i a' Light is rathe, quick work. Bn. tliKkV the way they do it in Warsan Ln Chicago is a colorad man named Underwood whose breath is said »« Ih»h burning flame which actually burns a cloth or nthersubstai.ee heh up to his mouth. A walnut knot that grew near Centerville, supposed for mauy year* t. be worthless on account of rot, was lately sold'up ward of S2OO to be used n Europe. Grant still .hankers after a “sit’ on the retired list with a pension of $16,000 per year. Let him hunker, and do something for th* boys who shouldered the musket. Mr. Conkling can’t say pleasan 1 things except to women. He speak* of Cornell as “that llxard on the hill, of Mr .'Arthur asl“the prise ox at the county fair," or as “the eat I threw a rny enimles in the Chicago Conran' tiOn ” inT * Thirteen train men on the Third Division of the Pan-Handle hare recently been discharged for violating the ironclad order of Superintendent Watts, which prohibits them from drinking Intoxicants and visiting sa loons and gambling houses while on duty. The great mistake that Gen. Fit* John Porter made, was in not joining the radical party. Had he done so he would io-day be sharing the hen ore of foreign missions with rebel* Mosby and Longstreet, and perhaps Senatorial honors with "dirty-dog» Logan. An exchange rery'sesslbly remarks that a great asaay horses are in • jiired at this time of the year oy placing frosty bits in their months. They take the skin off the horses tongue and lips aad makes their mouths so sore they cannot eat Those who don’t think nueh treatment cruoj should toueh their own tongue te cold iron in the winter and see what the result will be. Bridles should bo kept where it is warm in winter. In the U. S. Senate, last Tuesday, in the discussion of the tariff Mr. Beck said both the report es the Tariff Commission, and the bill of fch# -Finance Committee had boon carefully framed, not to reduce the burdens of the people, but to put-as much money as possible Into the pookets of the favored classes. The Committee’s bill, however, did embody a few reductions, and therefore the Senator from Ohio, Sherman, preferred the report of the Commission. It wa« well that the people should know the real position of that distinguished leader on the other sids as ohampion of a high protective tariff. Commenting upon the Star Rout* proceedings the Cincinnati News says: Tnjthe Star Route cases the Government has blundered in such a way that nothing but a oonviotion will save the prosecution from serious suspicion- The conspiracy charge against Dioksou has boon withdrawn, and it appears to have boon institu-*. ted rather in aid of the prosecution than for the punishment of an offender. On the other band, the excessive zeal in the cases pending is balanced by ths failure to Indict whom they gave political reasons for not disturbing—the last of ths carpet baggers- He is both an im» portant factor ini the Senate and knows too mueb about the frauds of 1876 for the Republican party to lay violent hauds pn him.”

[New York Special to the Tribune.} A prominent New York Stalwart said to-night, speaking of President Arthur: “A friend of mine want down to Washington a short time age, and 1 told him to go to the White House and call on Arthur, and tell him what we are expecting of him, and that he must now begin to do something for his friends. He went te the White House, end ns soon no ho nad the President ceuid get nloae, Arthur put hie hands tsfhis head and exclaimed : ‘Heavens, how I with I wore oat of this pisoei Its responsibilities are killing me? “Why, Arthur,” sold my friend, “you mast net talk like this. I thought yon more a man of the world than this. You mutt throw off this sort of feeling and do something. It is only my opinion but I atu willing to venture a prophecy, I think you will find the Beanie and the President have come to an understanding. That understanding is this. The President will attempt as fur as he is able to evoke out of the present chaos in which the patty is involved some sort of an executive policy whieh will make for it a good name with the people. In return the Senate will permit him to main such changes in the Federal offices throughout the country as he sees fit. Furthermore, the changes will be made in a way in whish thsre can be no misunderstanding. They will not \confined to one city or one State* Yon will find a decided aetlon along
