POLITICAL.

The Augusta Georgia. Chronicle, un-
der the head General Grant the Hope of
the South" comes out strongly in favor of
the General for the next Presidency. 1t
says:-
"The contest at the North in the next
Presidential campaign will be exclusively
for party supremacy. 1t will be one of un-
usual strife and bitterness. The South can
not, and should not, take part in it as in
triguers of either of the parties now in ex-
istence. There is but single course left to
us for f-preservation-our only resource
is the magnapimity of those who know the
perils of battle and the trials of the camp.
They alone can estimate rightly the bless
ings of peace and harmony. Grant is en-
deared to them by all the associations of
successful war His dauntless courage is
written in the history of bloody campaigns.
His magnanimity at Lees surrender touched
every Southerner. Repeated acts of gener-
osity and kindness adorn his intercourse
| with us, in the midst of troubles and ankle
ties, and menaces and prosecutions. Nor is
his love of constitutional liberty less than
his valor and magnanimity. When the
| sole power to enforce the existing military
law, he voluntarily subjected all acts and
all proceedings to the approval of the Presi-
dent.
Could there be q greater 3oedce-0fcrinq
by the soldiers of the South to their pic-
t0rious brethren of the North than
Ulysses S Grant
The Atlanta (Ga.) NeO Era referring
to the movement before the Supreme Court
says:-
Even if the injunction is granted, we
confess ourselves too obtuse to discover how
he South will be benefited. If the recon
struction measures cannot be carried into
etFect-which bid fair to work restoration
early in the next Congress-we are placed
where we were before the passage of tn,
measures; and, as Congress is all powerful
we can be kept in that condition as long a
Congress shall please to keep us there.

SEVEN MILLIONS FOR MEXICO.
1t is curious that Secretary Seward, who
so hungers and thirsts after something new
and startling in the line of diplomacy, the
brilancy of which shall shed a radiance over
the very be-smooched records of the State
Department, should not have turned his atten-
ton to Mexico instead of Russian America.
Mexico is valuable; it is a beautiful country;
its vegetable products alone make it most
desirable territory, while the value of its
mineral deposits is beyond expression in
reasonable figures. Besides this, the coun-
try is disorganized, demoralized; there is
neither law nor order; the people are trod-
den under foot, and industry rent in twain
by contending factions, whose quarrels are
bleeding the country to death. If ever there
was reason for neighbors to interfere in a
family quarrel it seems to be here, and il
there is any neighbor who has plain right
to step in and stop the row it is the United
States. Our duty in that direction seems
plain and its performance could not fail tc
be profitable.
On the other hand, our new possession!
around the North Pole, are worthless il
comparison with Mexico, while peace reigns
and not disorder, among the Esquimaux, whit
inhabit them, so that the influence of our in
situations, the inspiration our Star Spangle,
, Banner, or the supervision of the America
3 Eagle, does not, as in Mexico, seen Gale
for. Yet we are about to hand over for thi
new land, some seven to ten millions in yer
: hard cash, at a time when our cash is e,
c tremely scarce, our debts very numerous, an
:, our credit no better than it should be, viii
O our ideas of how to raise the wind in futu
IS are neither very clear nor entirely unan
nous. But why did not Mr.. Seward p
little money in the Mexican bushes!
> That could not fail to be profitable for Il
n people, and the profit of the people must
$ good for the common Treasury. How loi
IS must we wait for conclusive indications til
the Government is going to do its duty
c, Mexico, and assume protectorate over
is unfortunate people. The little old mo

The RULES OF PROCEEDING in the Supreme
Court are such that no injunction against
Reconstruction in Georg a, can possibly be
issued under eight or ten months, at soonest.
The leave to file the petition has been grant
ed, and the Court has thereupon ordered
subp@nas to issue for the attendance of Sec
rotary Stanton and General Grant, against
whose operations the injunction is asked.
But they have six days to respond, and
this will not expire till after the adjournment
Of the present term of Court, and it will not
re-assemble till next December. The argu-
ment, therefore, whether or not any injunc-
ton shall issue cannot take place till that
time, and then it will be Of no use. Georgia,
by December will be so Reconstructed that
her old face will be unfamiliar her old ideas
changed, and she will no longer desire the
action she now asks of the Supreme Court.

five conclude to take the Vice President
from the army, the gallant and patriotic one
armed Howard Is doubtless the man. II not,
we should name among the civilians. some
such warm Republican as Hon. William D.
Kelley, of Pennsylvania.
Surprising the President, however, to be
civilian, the candidate of the young Re
publicans, the embodiment of the glorious
new spirit of the country, would be Schuyler
Colfax of Indiana, man at once safe, pa
triotic, democratic, and genial; educated in
that best of all schools, the editors sanctum,
sprung from the ranks, an eloquent and ac-
complished speakers far-sighted statesman,
and public man with clear record. Other
good men, however, can he named. The
Southern States may probably be represent
ed in Congress and the Electoral college In
time for 1868, and one of the most popu-
lar northern Republicans with these people
| is likely to be Senator Wilson of Nlassachu-
sets, who has devoted himself with sacri-
4 uce SChTCtly euOit VI nctOiniu, w iaooiiouo
tour of speechmaking all through the South,
| going where no man of his class ever went
before, the pioneer of free ideas, and the
highest civilization. He would he strong
man throughout all the land of Reconstruct
ton, and would command the vote of the
colored citizens of Delaware, Maryland, and
Kentucky, whose right to the franchise he
is one of the foremost in urging on the at
tention of Congress, and with full assurance
of success before 1868.
To couple names, then, we may have
Thomas and Kelley,or Logan and Kelley, on
our ticket next time; or Colfax and How.
ard, or Wilson and Western General. Or i
the candidate should be Western civilian,
we must have an Eastern soldier with him.
And withal, it is almost needless to add, the
Vice President must be known to be as true
as steel, and sound to the core.

THERE Is SAID to be an active foreign de-
mand on the leather dealers of this country,
for a peculiar description of heavy leather,
which is only adapted to the making of army
shoes. A large dealer in this city is our au-
thority for the report. 1t is rumored that
very extensive contracts have been made
with American leather men, to supply this
demand. Even if entirely correct, however,
it may only point to the possibility, and not
probability of imminent European war.
