 The Senate's Judiciary Committee report against Stsnbcry's confirmation.
 No present change in the subordinate pcrsonale of the War Department is contemplated.
 The following is Grants letter accep- tance:
 "WAsHINeToN, May %, 1868.
 To General James R. Hawley, Prcsi- dent of the National Union Republican Contention: Informally accepting the nomination of the Union Republican Convention of the 2lst of May, instant, it seems proper that some statement of views beyond the mere acceptance of the nomination should be expressed. The proceedings of the Convention was marked with wisdom, moderation and patriotism and believe express the feelings of the great mass of those who sustained the country through its recent trials. I endorse their resolu- tions, and if elected to the office of President of the United States, it will be my endeavor to administer all the laws in good faith, with economy and with view of giving peace, quiet and protection everywhere. At times like the present it is impossible, or at least emincntly improper, to lay down a policy to be adhered to, right or wrong, through an administration of four years. New political issues, not fore seen, are constantly arising, and the views of the public on old ones are constantly changing. A Apurely admin istrative officer should always be left free to execnte the will of the people, and have always respected that will, and always shall. Peace and univer- sal prosperity-its sequence with econ omy of administration will tighten the burden of taxation, while it constantly reduces the National debt. Let us have peace.
 "With great respect, your obedient
 U. G. 0hANT,

 The Radical canvassers are doubtful and the Democrats are more confident of the result. The vote is close. In betting, the odds are in favor of the Democrats by $500 to $500.
 Shenck, in his financial expose to. day, estimated the total expenditures for the next fiscal year at S352, ,OOO, 900 and receipts from all sources at S400,. 100000.

Mcdonald, of Chicago second Vice President; John Collins of Cincinnati, Recording Secretary and Treasurer, and William A. Turner, oi Philadelphia, Recording Secretary.

Then and Now.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser,

From the New York Commercial Advertiser,
 Republican.
 Mr. Lincoln received total of 2,223 O35 votes to l,Sl1,7 cast for his oppo- nent. Upon the following year New Jersey cut loose from her democratic moorings and majestically sailed into republican waters.
 Here was political inheritance so rich and vast to outlast the present cen- tury if properly husbanded, but to null tiply to still greater proportions. Pres ident Lincoln saw the party he had done so much towards building up, every where triumphant. It had carried the war through to successful termina- tion, and enjoying additional prestige and strength from that fact, was seem ingly vouchsafed long and prosperous future when the eyes of the great stand ard bearer closed upon the world.
 Four years have passed away, and what is the spectacle now presented us !? Lage cities, like Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati, San Francisco and Rochester, have been wrested from our grasp. Nor is this all. Entire states have faltered by the way, and with drawn their support from the republi- can party. New York instead of being in the republican column, writes under the incubus of 5000 democratic major ity. Pennsylvania, California, Connec- ticut and New Jersey, so lately pluck ed as brand from the burning, have likewise relapsed.
 The republican majority of fifty thour sand in Ohio in 1864, has been cut down to less than three thousand, and the state which elected Brough governor by over one hundred thousand majori- ty five years ago, now has republican executive, whose majority is less than that heretofore given by several of the republican counties of the state. New Hampshire diminishes her republican majority, and Wisconsin, which gave Mir. Lincoln twenty thousand majority in 1864, now gives the anti-republican ticket forty thousand majority.
 Now contrasting the present with the past is it not clearly apparent that some terrible wrong agencies must have been at work to bring about such an unto- ward result? Must not every Repub- lican who reflects and contemplates-- and such condition of affairs can but lead to reflection and contemplation clearly perceive and honestly confess that those who succeeded to this rich political inheritance, have squandered it in hcadiong, extravagant manner.
