1t appears. alsO that Lincoln aud his frienls
have been lucky, for far, in the in success of
Graut aud Butler, and in their precise Ioeasurs
Of i'll success. II either Of those two had taken
Richmond before the Convention, then Butler or
Grant would have been nominated for President

defeated, and their armies cut 10 pireea tben
neither Lincoln nor any other Black Renpblican
would have had the slightest chance OF election
So essential was 1t for the right guidance of tho
convention III thls matter that Grant should not
take Richmond, nor bo advancing in triumnhnnt
march toward it, that The NeU Fork 1Y,n,s Ian
coins ''orgaD," took care 10 publish at length a
dismal account 0f the bloody dofoat Inflicted on

the opinion that il was most disastrous affair.
This was true but The Times did not stnte Ii

LincOlo, then. and his gang have been lucky,
as We said, so fur. But to win his election IN
November this indecisye work Of tho Federal
armies, neither triumphantly victorious nor
hopelessly cut to pieces-neilher taking Rich

Grant and Butler are now at liberty to achieve
the most brilliant success they can, and The Men
