PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. The following
sensible and timely advice, is from the editorial
columns of the Detroit Tribune:
"In all discussion of their Presidential pre-
ferences, Republicans cannot afford 10 fall out by
the way. Indeed, in our judgment all discussion
Of the names of leading Republicans in connec-
ton with the Presidency is premature. But in
this regard we cheerfully recognize the honesty
of different opinion. No editor, however, can
aid the cause Of his favorite by deprecating the
character and efforts OF other Republicans in
equally good standing, for the reoson that Mr.
Chase will not be judged by what Mr.. Seward
has done, or has no, done, but by what he, Mr..
Chase, has done or omitted. This is the philo-o-
phy of the whole matter. Some one man will in
evtaby be fortunate al the expense OF all Others,
whose friends will of course support the success
full man, and it will be far pieasanter and far more
profitable, politically considered, il paragraphs
they may have inconsiderately written are not
paraded against the man they then support, and
if their prepossessions in favor of another may
not have become infamed into prejadices against
the person who may be the candidate. Why not
rest the case on a mans positive merits, without
pulling some one else down: IL would certainly
be desirable that 4 writer signing himself Re
publican" who attacks Mr.. Seward through the
Chicago Pressani Tribune, should accustJm him
self 10 these views, as also paper in the north
western section of this State. There are always
blows TO give as well as 10 take"

from the water, and fell across the boat, striking
Mr.. 5. upon the head and shoulder. and knock

partially stunned, and was thrown into the water
by Mr.. Sutton. Had he fallen into the bottom
of the boat the whole party would scarcely have

was saloon-keeper, was put upon the stand, who
told some very plain truths, that il became necS

which he was possessed, he waited until the
witness was turned over to him, and then com.
