THE REAL ESTA TIE b USINES.S.


The intimation, recently made, that Secre
| tary Seward has too many land speculations
in course Of negotiation, to retire from office
| at present, seems amply warranted. There
are propositions pending, it is understood,
for Great Britain to transfer us British Co
lumbia, in payment of the Alabama claims.
1t is also talked of that Denmark will sell lis
the island of st. Thomas, in the West Indies,
and the Danish press, discussing the subject,
generally favor the suggestion. Senator
Doolittle of Wisconsin it is understood has
gone to Copenhagen to arrange the matter,
but whether he can overcome the suggestive
disability of his name is yet to be decided.
Lastly,-so far AS we know-the Sandwich
Islands have also been looked at by our great
real-estate agent. Whether the Sandwiches
will be willing to sell is not yet certain, but
if not, there are several desirable properties
in our neighborhood which it would be well
to have in our possession. Among them are
some sections in Central America, including
the route of the Panama railroad; the Queen
of the Antilles, the long-coveted prize of
the fillbustering portion of our people
Possibly, also, the Bermuda islands might be
Of value to us. As for Mexico, we shall get
that, without the expenditure of much
money.

METHODIST IN THE so Ly7,H.

From the time, when, in 1874. the South
ern conferences seeded from the Methodist
Episcopal Church, upon the issue whether
the ministers should be allowed to hold
slaves, the Methodist pulpits Of the South
have preached the right of Secession and
the justice of the Rebellion. They did their
full share in making the Southern people
conscientiously believe their revolt was a
good and noble cause. Unfortunately their
| efforts have not ceased with the end of the
war Governor Pierpon,, of Virginia, says ;.
Tho spirit of the Southern pulpit is
" thoroughly disloyal-active in the propa-
gandism OF rebel sentiment. and in cher
ishing hope that .'the cause lost" may
| =" be regained by the destruction of a Re-
publican Government in this country. |
regard the establishment OF loyal Churches
throughout the South as the great means
of counteracting this influence"
Regarding the secession of the Southern
churches as totally unjustifable, the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church resolved to spread lis
labors over the lost territory, and has been
making most encouraging progress Since
free speech has been established, the eloquent
tongues of many loyal ministers have been
unbound, and i'll live years it is estimated
That one hundred thousand members have
been added TO the fold Of the national church,
within the territory of the seeded con
ferenccs.

Messrs. EtiitVrs In view Of the pres
ent growing evils Of incompetence, many
persons condemn the present license law Of
Delaware, ind il am not mistaken, the
able and generally ccar-sighted editors of
the TRIBUNE themselves had nothing to say
in favor, but spoke in strong terms of con-
demnation of the law as ii now stands in
their issue of II few weeks ago. That intern
perancc is on the increase cannot be denied,
but that as IL consequence the law is wrong
I do deny
am one o. ihnse Who believe the sale of
liquor as !, beverage, and the use of liquor

der any and all circumstances, law or no

As long ms large majority of the people
in Delaware are in favor OF liquor being an
article of merchandise and consumption it
is altogether right HAT The State should de-
rive u revenue from such traffic, consequent

acting heavy license i,r the privilege OF

A ,alin:ity OF the people have said that
| liquor shall he sold and used as fancy may
dictate. then comes the present law and says
amen to the verdict hut those engaged i'm the
traffic must pay tribute To the State in the
shape Of heavy licenses.
There is no favortism in the lcense-law
as it now exists, no petitions are required

Sherman, Fcssenden, Wilson, Edmunds,
Trumbull, Conkling and Grimes, had secuted
the idea of impeachment. The same Senators
had twice voted against intermediate sessions
OF Congress. although Grant and Stanton
twice appeared among their desks in open
session, and assured them all that the
President was bent on mischief. Gen. Grant
went so far as assert that it the power to re-
move District Commanders was left with Mr.
johnson, he would not fail TO use 1t, and by
all means ut his disposal seek to make the
Congressional plan of reconstruction multi
ty. Mr.. Trumbnll can affirm that Gen. Grant
thus argued TO Senators, before he and others
voted to give Mr.. Johnson the power. " I'm
parchment is n farce" was the language
which the combined tones of these men sent
to the listening ears of the President. lie
heard the same from Wilson, Woodbridge,
Churchill, Banks, Spal,ling and Bingham,
in the house. Chief Justice Chase busted
himself to overthrow the impeachment
movement. And, incredible as it may ap-
pear, he based his argument not on its right
or wrong, but upon the question who would
be made President. 10 Gen. Butler, whose
feelings toward Gen. Grant are known, Mr..
Chase said: "Why do you favor the I'M
parchment, when, ii accomplished, il must
certainly make Grant President? ?" And to
others, still other nd hominen, arguments.
| The President heard it NIL and was con-
content, and bided his time. "You dare
not impaach the President" shouted Sam.
Randall in the House, through set teeth.
And all MIR. Johnson's friends repeated it in
his ears, until both he and they believed it.
And when Congress adjourned, though leg
ally lampered, he felt that the field Law open
and clear before him.
WHY GRANT TOOK THE WAR OFFICE.
That Mr.. johnson has contemplated SER
lo''s trouble has been the firm conviction of
Gen. Grant and Mr.. Stanton for many
months. A dozen Senators can bear personal
testimony to this. When Stanton was sus-
pended, Mr. johnson offered the place to
Grant for two reasons. If he accepted, the
game was to make it appear that the Presi-
dent had the supporG and countenance of
Grant. If he declined, which was hoped,
then man ready and willing to do Mr..
,Johnsons bidding could be at once installed
| in Stanton's place. But Grant has fought
the rebels before, and over-matchcd them
before in strategy. So on this occasion he
at once occupied the position, to prevent
the enemy from getting ID, and, besides.
filed such protests against the Presidents
course as will, when the country sees them
| strip the President bare of all seeming sun-
port from him. Seeing himself chcckmated
il these papers became known. Mr. Johnson
tried his old game of suppression. but this
too, has failed, and Gen. Grant is today thc
only man who has his hand upon the throat
Oh ms would-De national assassin, and who,
