The liberal journals of Paris are jubilant
over the election for the Department of the
Jura of M. Grevy, the opposition candidate.
The total number of votes cast at the election
was 32,7lS, of which the Government can
didate obtained 10, 200, and NJ. Grevy % ,428
the majority being thus over II 1000. What
makes this result the more noteworthy is the
fact that at the election for the same Depart
ment in 1868, when there was no serious OPP
position, the candidate of the Administers
ton received $4,000 votes, out of 30. 500
cast on that occasion and to this may be
added the hardly less significant fact, that
the Department of the Jura being almost ex-
clusively rural, the votes by which NJ. Grevy
has been elected are the votes not of the
towns, but of a population belonging to that
class generally regarded as most warmly in
favor of the Empire as it is. The Liberals of
France accept the result of the election as a
triumph for the cause of free government in
that country all the greater from the circum-
stances that the Government employed every
means at its command to insure the defeat of
NJ. Grevy.
A fat New York salesman fell overheard
one night from ferryboat, foated out to
sea, was picked up insensible at daylight.
and, after resuscitation, was Just as good as
new, and driving business again.

Lieutenant General Grant to live forever II
history. His career is a lesson IN practical
democracy it is a quiet satire on the dan
dyism, the puppyism and the shallow affect
alton of our fashionable exquisites, as wei
as upon the swagger of our plausible glib,
tongued demagogues y
The same paper that printed the above
just tribute to the genius of General Grant
has been now for months depreciating his
military ability, ridiculing the brevity Of
his speeches, denouncing him as destitute of
the first quality of craftsmanship, and it has
been, at the same time, exalting to the skies
that plausible, glib-tongued demagogue, y
Horatio Seymour.
All this denunciation of Grant by the
Democrats is the veriest partisanship i'm
aginable. IF Grant had followed Democratic
lights, and gone politically with Hancock
and Rosecrans and Blair and Lee and Forest,
he would have been nominated as the can
didate of that party for president, and their
eulogy of him would then have been as I'M
discriminating and unjust, their dcprecia-
ton of his ability now is. Grants ability
is the same now as in April 1865, and why
Democrats be honest and acknowledge
it? The politics of that party is bad enough,
and they ought not to make it more obnoxious
by giving such glazing evidences of the dis
honesty of its judgment.

Chase and Seymour.

During the past two weeks considerable
in connection with the New York Conven-
ton. 1t now appears-from the declaration
of a gentleman who appears to know all
about it-that Seymour, and large MAORI
ty of the New York delegation were really
in earnest in their support of Chase, and
were to take with him platform quite diff
ferent on the reconstruction question from
the one adopted The Ohio delegation, who
didn't want Chase, anticipated and headed
off this movement in his favor by springing
his name upon the Convention, and his
nomination was made by one of the hits
a moment of great excitement. 1t is assert
ed that Seymour was honest in declining mot
wanting the nomination for himself, and be-
Iieying Chase to be much the stronger candi-
date. But few of the New York Delegation
knew of the intention of the Ohio delegation
to present his name.
After all, however, this disclosure only
proves how strong the anti-reconstruction ell
ement was in the New York Convention
Chase, on platform accepting Congressional
reconstruction, would have been immensely
stronger than Seymour on his platform With
the former the party might have carried the
election with the latter they are certain of
defeat Yet their bitter prejudices against
Justice and equal rights kept them from seiz-
ing the possible victory, and made sure
Republican triumph in November.
