THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

1t was inevitable that General Grant
would be nominated by somebody for the
Presidency. So great q fame and so uni
versal popularity were capital too prom
ising to be unappropriated. If to be made
President it were enough to be the hero of
New Orleans, or the hero of Tippecanoe,
or the hero of Buena Vista, it would seem
that the conquering hero of the greatest
Of wars should be President. OF course, and
without a nomination. From the famous
morning at Appomattox Court House,
therefore, there have been longing eyes
fixed upon the General, and unable longer
TO delay, fearful lest some nimbler body
should name him, committee OF gentle
men, whose political distinction it is TO
have repudiated the policy which General
Grant favors, have, as we lately mention
ed, formally nominated him. The nomi-
mating body are the representatives of a
few adherents ofthe Republican party who
in the very moment when political fidelity
was to be proved rated TO the Democratic
party and President Johnson.
From neither of these powers, however,
have these gentlemen. received any COM

A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

The jury in The Surratt case being una-
bic to agree, have been discharged. 1t is
not likely that a jury could be impanelcd
in the District OF Columbia, in the legal
way, that would find him guilty if they
knew that he had conspired and aided i'm
the murder of Lincoln; because il is improb-
able that in the ordinary chances of max
ing up a jury it would not contain one or
more persons who think the killing OF
Lincoln good deed, and who, as far as
their sympathies and mental justification
OF the act can go, are themselves assessor
rics. And it is likely that if Booth had been
tried by Washington jury, theresult would
have been the same, although we suppose
that no one doubts that he killed Lincoln.
We call this q Democratic victory be-
cause the Democratic papers have been the
partisans of Surratt in the trial, declaring
their verdict OF acquittal in advance, dis
crcditing the evidence against him, exag
gerating that for him, publishing the argu-
ment OF but one side, and continually as
sailing the Republican party for the exc
cution of the other conspirators; and, fur
thermore, because the Democratic clement
at Washington was excited 10 ficrceness
and violence i'm behalf of Surratt. as was
we'll represented in the conduct Of his
rufiianly counsel, who had the aulacity to
assault the Judge fer legal ruling on the
bench, and who appears 10 have been back
ed by large crowd of Democrats ready
for violence.
| This sympathy was not from belief that
Surratt was innocent 0fthe conspiracy to
murder Lincoln, for a belief in his inno-
cence could confidently leave it with the
jury, in which. the chances were all In his
! favor and with whom conviction would
be improbable ifhe were guilty. And fur
thermOre, il is impossible to believe that
Surrett was not in whatever plot Booth
and Payne were engaged in. This SYM
pathy is with the crime that was commit
i ted. 1t is that which made Surrait's case
an affair of the Democratic party, and his
escape Democratic victory.
And it would be inconsistent and unnat-
ural for the Democratic party 10 feel other
wise. They habitually accused Lincoln
of crimes that would make his assassin a
here and patriot. How can we expect
the party that gave general outburst of
ribaldry and rage when Lincoln avoided
assassination at Baltimore to condemn his
murderer We have yet to see in Dem
ocrat paper any condemnation OF Booth,
while on the other hand they continually
rave at the tribunal that condemned his
accompliccs. How can q party which
sympathizcd with the enemy while they
Killed a quartef of million OF Northern
Soldiers. a party whose hearts were never
touched by the pititul stories Of the cruel
ties to the captive soldiers in Southern
prison pens who declared that it served
them right for invading tie South, who exult-
ed in disasters to our armies and were cast
down by their victories-how can we ex-
pect this party to regard the murder of
Lincoln as crime? it would be inconsis
tent and unnatural, and we do not expect
it, They regard the failure of the jury 70

so recognize it.--Cincinndti Gazette.

HAK1NG a PAPER POPULAR.

ss0f all the military commanders in the South
ern States, Gen. ORp has been deemed the most
lenient and just. Ee has, however, been increas-
ing the circulation of the Yicksburg Times, and
giving that journal some valuable advertising, by
causing the arrest OF the editor. AS matter of
curiosity, We append the editorial of the Times
: which led to the arrest:
In his apportionment that contemplate liar and
braggart, Major General John Pope-the man of
the slapped face-has arranged that o. 303 white
nen in Georgia may elect sixfy-6ve delegates to
the Convention, while 49, Gil negroes may elect one
hundred and two delegates
This is on par with Sheridan Schofeld, and
Ord. Scoundres alE In Mississippi, that ridi-
culous knaye and fool, Edwin Otho Creswell Ord,
: bhs Faynausof Mississippi and the Gesler of Ar
Kansas, has so arrar ged that the Loyal League is
-bound,to have possession of the State Taking
population us a guide, the white people would be
entitled forty -three,anda half votes in the Con-
ventiony and the negroes would be entitled to fifty
six and half votes; but this slight preponderance
did not suit Mr., Ord-he scoundrelism of bayonets
was called in to sustain the rescaliy which had its
birth in his brain, or the brain of his advisers In
stead of the negroes naying the fftys and half
: votes, to- which their numbers enttle them,. and
the whites getting the forty-three and half votes
,to.which they are justly entitled King Otho, With
aid of his tools and advisers apportioned to the
negroes seventy and half votes, end reduced the
tpoor white trash tOtwenty- -ninc aud half votes
Tostate the proposition is.to bazon the infamy OF
SBrevet Major General Ord and his advisers to oil
che world. No one who is not innatey q scoun-
drel and in the service of the Loyal League, could
have made such unjust and infamous an nppor

Homrc1DE IN SUMTER.

: The Sumter Watchman gives the following par
ticulars. of an unfortunate affair which occurred
on Thursday last:
ga difficulty some time since existing between
the parties, the details of which will not touch
upon but leave to Judicial investigation, led to the
appalling event of which we write. About mid
dny, ION Monday last, Mr.. Hodge arrived at Sum
ter, and stepped from his bsggy, which he had
stopped en- the Man-street, nearly in front of the
! Court House. He went into one or two adjacent
etores,- where he remained for moment or two,
and returned to the side walk near where his bug
81 was and talked with persons, apparently free
from excitement Seeing Mr.. Durant on the oppo-
site side of the street, walking with O gentleman,
he went TO his buggy, took ;herefrom a double
.barreled gun, and advanced in the direction Mr..
Durant was going and when Within about eight
PAGES of him, fired, the whole load taking effect be-
low the left shoulder and and .hc left side
The unfortunate man staggered, and turning in
the direction Of his foe receive the second shot,
which shattered his arm near the wrist, and i'm
mediately fell and died. The gun was loaded with
buck and turkey shot.
Sfrs Hodge proceeded Immediately into the
Court House, and the surrendered himself and was
committed to prison.

nEcovERRy, OF STOLEN vALuABLEs.

The Yorkyille Enquirer contains the following
account of robbery and its singular discovery:
In the Spring of 1865, whilc the families of Gen.
Wade Hampton and Gen. John s. Preston, were
refugees in this town, large portion Of the family
plate and Jewels were concealed in retired spot,
near the village to protect them from Sherman's
ssbummers.'', The s'bummers" did not come as
was expected; but the concealed valuables were
stolen from their hiding place, and untila few days
ago, did the most vigilant searches avail anything
towards q discovery of. their whereabouts.
On Saturday last, Gen. Hampton receiveda tele-
gram from Knoxville, Tennessee, announcing the
arrest Of one Robert cLain, with some of the lost
yaluables in his possession; and also statement
from -McLain, where the remainder might be found
On Tuesdny evening n haul was made upon the
gemaining articles, which we're concealed in the
house Of a brother, Alpheus McLain, about three
miles from this place. This property is of very
valuable character, comprising jewels and plate,
that have m untold value 10 the owners as family
heir-looms. The actual value of the articles re-
covered in Knoxville and here is probably about
I've. orsi1 thousand dollars. Very few of the ar
-tieles are yet missing, and these of small value
McLain will probably be returned to this place
for trial He states that he found the box con-
taining 1.-The vnluables, while out hunting, few
days after it was hidden; and having once appro
priated it, he could not command courage enough
to return it to its lawful owners. Very likely!
