Impotent, Il not Impudsnt.

The World makes the following impotent
attempt to clear Itself OF the inconsistency 10
which II is Involved In consequence of the
articles which 1t wrote on Gen. Grant at the
close Of the war and those which II now pro.
duces.
The course Of the World 10 contemplate, and
this last dodge is absolutely too peurile to
merit serious reply.
Why does not the World oppose Gen. Grant
on political grounds, and let alone his mill
tary record; or, does that journal feel that he
10 as strongly fortified In his political position
as he is in his character as . great captain,
and that 1t can better afford to eat its own
words and assault his military record than to
make an attempt to overthrow his political
stronghold At any rate there Is confession
of weakness In the Worlds position, and we
propose to let our readers see its self-stultih.
cation. Here its;
"Thst we spoke Of him (Grant) In terms OF
generous, and even lavish appreciation, OF
that time The surrender OF Lee,) Is quite true
and II Is a circumstAnce for which we think
we have no occasion to blush. We shared
close Of the war, and fervent, OVERLOOKING
gratitude Is not very apt to measure Its Ian
guage. In the contagious glow Of feeling, We
spoke Of Gen. Grant as . lover would speak
OF his mistress, or rather as all patriots have
victory. A writer must be Of q very ehurlish
disposition who, on such an occasion, besfori
haiitny or niggdrdiy praise, or stands to weigh
with much exactness his complimentary cpl
souress on which historian would chieny rely
for . Just estimate OF military commanders
They neither estop the writer nor anybody
else from cooler and more exact Inquiry"

SCHUYLER colFAx,
TO THE VOTERS OF wAsHINeTON.

To-day the electors OF this city are called
upon to cast their votes for . mayor and muni.
eipai oficers. The Republican ticket, which
will be found In another column, ought to be,
and We trust will be chosen. Most certainly
u will n our friends do their whole duty.
or our candidate for mayor, s. J. Bowen, we
have spoken freely, and have shown his
ability to discharge the duties Of this position,
and have stated the reasons that demand his
election at this time. That Mr.. Bowen 10 .
gentleman Of capacity, integrity, and exseu.
tive ability, and that he would make . good
mayor, none of his political opponents have
ventured to deny. That his influence with
Congress will be potential, and that his cleo
tion will do more for the benefit OF this city
ten fold, than can possibly be secured BY the
election Of Mr.. Given, 10 admitted. To all we
have said upon this view Of the subject the
papers In opposition have made no reply
They have no arguments and no principles
which they dare avow. They have carried on
the campaign by whole columns Of personal
abuse Of Mr.. Bowen, and their sheets have
teemed with didiribes OF slang brought for
ward against the party that supports Mr.
Bowen. We have left all these weapons Of
personal abuse In the hands Of those journal
lists whose trade In politics 10, as they think,
promoted by these means. II 10 enough for Us
to know that Mr.. Bowen will make good
Mayor, and that his success and the success Of
the party which has placed him In nomination
guarantees the building up and the improve.
ment Of this city.
We want change; We want improvement;
we want to see This city In . condition that
shall reflect credit upon the country Of which
It 10 the capital. Elect the Republican ticket
and we at once enter upon . career which will
not stop till this city becomes what Its found
ers designed 1t to be.
All these statements which We now recapit-
ulate the opposition reply to with personal
abuse Of our candidate and such slang a. this:
"negro candidate" and "negro party"
They are improving, however, In their style.
We congratulate them upon the requirement
Of better manners. 1t used to be Niger, 1t IL
now negro. By and BY, when they experience
more reverses, they will come to speak of thi,
class as our colored feIlow-citizens. Who

The Sunday Herald fairly raves and froths at

terrible to behold. The recent volcanic erup-

the Sandwich Islands could scarcely have been
moro terrific to the behoIder, than this lurid
display from our Sunday nelghbor IL intended
to be to all the supporters Of Mr.. Bowen. He
discharges at US, and every one who supports
Mr. Bowen, whole dictionary Of expletives,

pathy for a man who carried so much bile In
