The New York Nation saws :-General
Grant has allowed himself to be made the
instrument Of removing General Sheridan.
This Is but fresh illustration OF the small
value OF great influence to a man who has
not been gifted with discretion enough TO
keep It, The thing the public has most adj
mired in General Grant, next after his great
military ability, has been the singular and
admirable persiltenco with which he has
Kept Out OF politics. I'VE considered this for
our own part, so good quality in a republi-
can General, that we were willing In consi
deration of it to forgive even his failure to
support Congress openly in lts conflict with
the President. But he has now chosen 10
abandon the vantage-ground of neutrality.
and has thrown the weight OF his character
and services into the Presidential scale. He
has helped the President to diminish the obi.
UNI of removing Mr.. Stanton by conseptlne
TO take the vacant place, and has by the
same act weakened Mr.. Stanton's determin

cation Of Mr.. Johnson's spite, and the frus-
tration and delay Of the plan deliberately
made by Congress for the restoration Of
peace and harmony. To us the loss Of
Grant's chances Of tho presidency is the
smallest and least important of the conse-
quences of his mistake. The victor of Mis-.
sionary Ridge and captor OF Vlcksburg and
Richmond has place IN history to which
his accession to the presidency could lend
no new lustre; but we confess we could wish
that his claims to the gratitude of his coun
trymen were not weakened, as they are sure
to he, by this most unfortunate dip into the
troubled waters of politics. Still there is NO

THE NomINArIoN rLEor1oN.


The nomination election of the Republican
party, which took place on Saturday last, was
not as spiritedly conducted as on former simi-
lar occasions, owing 10 the lack of aspirants
for the several offices. On three OF the four
offices there was no contest whatever. no
opposing candidates Offering, hence unani-
nifty invited inditerence-which always re-
suits in light vote
For City Treasurer, however, there were
four candidates, and upon this ticket alone
was there any activity in bringing out voters
manifested. Any OF the candidates offered
would make good and efficient officer, and
each possessed popularity to an unusual de.
gree. The voting, therefore, was well con.
sidered in view of the difficulty of making a
choice from such excellent contesting mate
rial All the candidates received handsome
complimentary votes, but to Mr. GEORGE G.
MARIs was awarded the majority and hence
the nomination. Mr. Maris is widely known
in this city as a gentleman of fine ability
and most upright personal character. He is
faithful and diligent in all his business trans.
actions, and possesses degree of patience
and perseverance eminentlY befltting just
discharge of the perplexng duties OF the
office oi City Treasurer, to which position
the people mean to elect him on next Tues
day, We congratulate him upon his success
and the party upon having secured so yalua..
Bile candidate upon the ticket.
The gentlemen who compose the other
nor Of I.a III.
during the past year, and so far as we know
have discharged their duties satisfactorily
and well, and will no doubt be reelected.

we commend it to the voters OF Wilmington
