WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
The Presidential Question Among Con-


WASHINGTON, July 12.-The next Presidency is
confidential Topic of conversation among the
Republicans of both Houses OF Congress. They
are coming to see the necessity OF uniting upon
General Grant. He has not yet consented to
run; but when he is convinced that the people
demand him for their standaId-bearpr in peace MS
lie was IN war, be will no douot submit to the in
fiction. The OHIO delegation are yet undecided.
Vtce-President Wade and Chief Justice Chase are
both aspirants, and there is deep hostility ex-
lstlng between them IN consequence. AS they
are from Ohio, and both belong TO the Republi-
can organization, the members from tnat State
are IN quandary; hut like many of the dele
cations from other States, they wi lno doubt end
their rivalry by uniting upon Grant. Toe ma
jority OF the Republicans think that Wade is
played out, and is therefore of no account in the
contest for the nomination. Chase has capacity
tor the position OF the chief maeistracy of the
nation, but his financial schemes have rendered
him unpopular, and his success would be doubt
fu. 1t Is very nearly settled conviction among
the Republican members that Grant is the man,

1t is .aid that President Johnson is now very
anxious TO remove Mr.. Stanton from the office
OF Secretary of War. There is a faction in
Washington composed of Southern secessionists

endeavoring not only to get Stanton out but
also 10 prevail upon the President, who still
holds the power, to remove General Grant and
the five department commanders in the South.

him down all sorts of avenues and walks until,

of reform, one paragraph of which SAYS
"We, therefore, fellow Democrats, urge you to
reform your primary party meetings; do your
own selecting of delegates, make your conven-

sense, condemn incapacity and want of charac-

morous. Let us now, IL it be for the first time,
show that the offices belong to the party, and
not 10 the candidates"
We are heartily glad to see such step
taken. AS Americans, and not as partisans,
we wish to see the tone of both parties ele-
waited, and hail with real qualification any step,
be it from our friendsor our opponents, tend
ing to effect such a result.

RANDOM THOUGHTS No. SO.
BY TIE EDITOR.

The weather turned cool last week, and con-
cluded that would cut down some weeds in my
corn. do not like to let weeds go to seed.
Hoeing corn Is nicer exercise than playing base
ball. The cornfeld is the best place for thinking
that was ever in. The corn shuts out the world
as it were, and leaves one alone with God and
His works.
Well, here was, thinking while was work
ing. l had heard much about the rich bond
holders, and how they sat leaned back drawing
their interest while l, and other laboring meHI
were toiling pay their interest Iconcluded I'd
inquire into this matter. remembered that the
bonds had been advertised in the STANDARD, and
all the other papers in the country, and the peo-
pie were all urged to buy them, and thus help to
raise money to put down the rebellion. l could
not see how any one could complain But still,
if these bonds had got into the hands Of the rich,
and could not be got by the common people, ii
might still be unfair. / then came to the office,
having a slight touch of bond upon the brain.
took up the STANDARD, and about the first thing
l saw was the advertisement of Chapman, Glare
s. Co., Bankers, in which they say that Govern
ment securities are kept for sale. Here was ar
idea. ran down to the Bank, bareheaded, and
asked the Clerk, good Democrat, if he had any
Government bonds for SALE IIe said he had not
but could order them for me at any time. Iasket
him if lie could get $50 bonds. lie said he coult
furnish me with any size or any amount desired
Now ! understood that the bonds are not helC
by the rich, but that any man who has fifty dol
lars, can become a bondholder. All this tall
about the rich bondholder is the miserable clap
trap of the demOgogue. have a COW that cos
Inc $50 few years ago. Now l can get $50 70
her, and if bond pays better than the COW,
will exchange her for bond. My cornfeld cos

Nobody expects the Democratic par
ty to pay honest debts. Especially will
it repudiate the debt that was caused
by its rebellion. This borrowed money
went to pay the soldiers Tor killing
Democratic traitors. This makes it
very distasteful to the Democratic mind.
Then, the idea of reputation is an old
Democratic principle. jeff, Davis, a
leading Democrat, practiced it in Miss
issippi And even in our own county,
we have had Democratic repudiators on
small scale. Do the Herald folks know
anything about one of their presentcan-
ddates who went security for his broth
er-in-law for a debt due the county, and
when the Commissioners tried TO col
lect the money, this repudiator had
slammed all his property opt of his
hands, in order to Swindle the tax pay
ers ofthe countyl Ii they DO not know
about it we can tell them, il they desire
the particulars.

ETVoters of Jackson county, when
you hear demagoguss prating about
and high taxes, and asking
the people to put Democrats in Office,
ask them who had control of public af-
fairs in Jackson county at the time that
the peoples money was loaned to GER
tain parties for private speculation.
Ask them to compel their candidates to
pay back the peoples money which they
have been using for years, before they
have the insolence to ask you to give
them an opportunity to make another
grab at the public money.

could live together as equals. He said
that in Mexico there were mixed races,
and there was no government, but
continual war of races. We thought
we were somewhat familiar with the
history of that country Weare aware
that there are different races, such as
Spaniards, Creoles, Mestizoes, Samboes,
&c, but in any Of the wars in that un-
happy country, we would like to have

such, and which of these races were
