WENDELL PHILLIPS says "the American
press has for two years been engaged in ex-
planning General Grant"
Not so, Mr.. P. There is nothing to be
explained about Grant. He speaks little,
but what he says is perfectly plain. That
which is called explaining" has been in
reality the defence of the General from open
enemies and unwise Republicans.

We ARE GLAD to notice indications in the
Pennsylvania newspapers that General John
F. Hartranft, the present excellent and
faithful Auditor General, will be nominated
for another term, by the Republicans. He
was first elected in 1866, and the Office is to
be again filled,nex fall. General Hartranft
combines in himself all the requisite qualif-
cations for this important place, and we ven
ture the statement with confidence that the
interests OF Pennsyiyanias taxpayers were
never more faithfully watched than during
the last two years. Az q further recon
mendation, there were NO better soldiers il
the army, and there are now no more popu
lar public men, than the General.

PENNSYLVANIA is seriously alarmed lest

WE RECOMMEND every Republican or lib
eral newspaper to publish the largest posi-
BILE amount Of information concerning the
progress Of Reconstruction. IT s0iU bear
the light Of day. The steps taken by the
Southern Republicans will commend them
selves, wherever they are made known. 1t
is evident that the political canvass next fall
must be to great degree over the ground
covered by Congressional Reconstruction,
and the more the people know about it, the
less will they be disposed to vote against 1t.

over what 1t asserts to be a fact, that some COL

HARPEEs WEEKLY, In the course Of an
article on the Abyssinian Expedition, uses
the following sensible language concerning
the relations of America to England
"Bpt whoever encourages hostility be-
tween England and this country seems to us
neither friend Of the United States nor of
civilization not because we have reason to
fear that we might get the worst of a strug-
gle, but because the welfare of nobody In
either country could possibly BIO promoted
by it,"
There is the very essence of good sense
in this. Let it be continually impressed on
the public mind.

THE DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPERS are loudly
barking after General Grant. AS he can't

A correspondent OF the Boston Post sug

The swindle of using such men under
such names would be useless, because not
popular, outside of Massachusetts and in
that locality it would not deceive anybody.
