POLITICAL.

Dr. B. R. Keim, of Pennsylvania, has been appointed Chief Examiner of the Civil Service Commission. Judge Hoadley, of Cincinnati, will probably be the next Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio. Ex-Speaker Keifer says that he is not a candidate for Governor of Ohio. Sam Randall claims that he will have the Maryland delegation solid for him for Speaker Hon. W. D. Washburn, of Minnesota, thinks that Presidential lightning is likely to strike either Edmunds of Vermont, Harrison of Indiana, Miller of California, or Sherman of Ohio, among the Republicans; that Tilden is too netmthe grave to secure the Democratic nomination; that McDonald of Indiana is the strongest and most prominent candidate in that party; and that Logan of Dlinois has the Presidential bee worse than any other man, but with poor prospects of capturing the prize. A bill is pending before the Pennsylvania Legislature, imposing a tax of 1 mill per gallon upon crude petroleum shipped out of the State.
