The phantom of Grant for president
haunts the Tribune philosopher. He has
sent out a man to Galena to look over
Grants earlier home, to see if something
damaging could not be raked up. The cor.
respondent has looked over the ground-
Here is an extract from conversation with
an Intelligent citizen :"
elbow about his presidential prospects,
'tfWell, to tell the truth, here in Gaiena there
is feeling of doubt as to whether he has the
administrative ability such position properly
demands. He never gave any signs of it here
but, ON the other hand, it is true, he never gave
any intimation of military ability. Yet, with al
this, there is, must say, feeling of anxiety a:
to his fitness for the place. His best friends pre-
fer he should retain his army position, and no
aspire to the presidency; and they say that at tn.
proper moment he will assert this to be his owl
belief"
1t is thus that the radicals begin to turr
the cold shoulder upon Gen. Grant They
"doubt if he has the necessary administrativ,
ability "His best friends prefer he shoult
not aspire" &C., &c. Poor radicalism is i,

ments as we'll as their faith. They keen
alive the health giving exercises which they
brought with them from the Fatherland, by
which means sociability is as much promoted
as physical vigor. The German practice of
carrying wife and children to public places
has decidedly preserving influence on the
morals of their entertainments, and SEASONS
them all with the salt of propriety. since
Germany sent over to us so large represon
tation of her children, their habits and prac.
tees have entered widely into the staple O
our national character. If we needed still
more the hints they offer, it would be sol

In speaking of the Tennessee. election, a
republican paper says; 'The shameless
partisanship with which the work of disfran-
chisement has been carried out-the vile
perversion of power which rendered opposi
ton impotent-and the wholesale exclusio n
oftried and trusted white unionists for no
other reason than their hostility to the
Brownlow faction-are not more violative OF
the philosophy of republican government
than of the well-settled principles of the re-
publican party"

The New York Commercial Of Monday
last tells its readers that 'slast week was
exasperatingly wet" We wish we could
have some Of that wet weather hereabouts,
where not only last week but for "a month
ofSundays" il has been excruciatingly dry.
Over 4 large part Of this section Of the coun.
try there has not been copious, serviceable
fall Of min since early in July. Corn can
stand drought better than most crops, as it
gets good deal Of ,nourishment from dew.
Bat this arid temperature is telling badly on
that crop, as well as on tobacco and late
potatoes.-M Louis Republican, 18th.

When Stanton gave up his Office to Gene
raj Grant, he said he yielded because he was
compelled to yield to superior force. That
is just the way thousands Of his victims felt
when he sent them to prison; they felt com
PEELED to yield to superior force. Mrs. Sur
raft felt that way when he and his co.conspi-
rators sent her to the gibbet. And Stanton :,
when the Presidential boot expelled him
from his Office, exclaimed, II must yield to
superior terce," Johnson's boot was heavier
than he had supposed.
