ma QUANDARY.

Our Copperhead cotemporarles are IN
sad quandary just now, as to who shall be
selected as their standard bearer in the
coming Presidential campaign As the 4th
of July, the day fixed for their national
convention, approaches the comparative
strength of the various aspirants is calcu-
lated with increasing anxiety. Each sue
eessive day the agoniziDg suspense of the
unterrifed increases. johnson, Pendlet0n,
Seymour, Hancock and Chase have each
had their ardent advocates, and against
each serious objections have been raised.
The latest developments in this family
quarrel indicate that johnson. Seymour and
Hancock are likely to be shelged aud that the
final contest will be between Chase and PEN
dleton. Pendleton's entire strength seems
to depend upon the popularity Of his pet
scheme of Reputation. Chase is urged as
the more eligible candidate by the liberal
leaders of the party, because it is believed
that he will gain some strength from the
Republican raak0 and sAae lii 4UuIfnaJIon
will be direct movement IN the direction
of negro suffrage the great bug bear of
copperheadism. We congratulate our Cop
perhead friends on their prospect Of a
negro suffrage candidate. This is a pro-
gTessive age and though a little slow they
are evidently coming along. The question
to be decided by them now is whether
they will take Chase and negro Suffrage
Or Pendleton and Reputation The one
will be forward the other backward
movement We confidently expect to beat
them by the most overwhelming majority
that has ever graced a presidential victory,
whether they choose the one OF the other,
but we still ike to see them face the
music and squarely meet this question
which has so long been a sore trial to
democratic nerves Now that even Brooks
has gone so far as to be proud of the
privilege Of walking, arm in arm, with the
Mongolians of the Chinese Embassy, for
getting his late har splitting speech, it
will be an easy matter for tue lesser
lights Of the party to glide quietly along,
in the same direction, until, in a very short
time we may expect to see them hob mob
bing with Gumbo and fawningly seeking
his vote because of old associations. 1t
is not to be any longer denied that Cop
perheadism is on the straight course to
negro suffrage, If there is anything in the
signs of the times It also turns out that
Mrs Elizabeth Cady Stanton is likely to
be a member Of the New York Convep-
ton. Truly time works wonders and no.
where more rapidly than in the ranks Of
the COpperheads. From the latest deyel-
opments it does not seem at all improba-
bic that their standard bearer in the oo.n-
ing campaign viii be called to stand upon
a negro-sufrage woman s-rights platform
Of the most extreme type.

have long yelled for white man. 5 govern

IMPROVEMENT IN KILLNG.--The Prus-
sian military chemists have succeeded IN
nreeipitatipe the explosive liquid known
a. nitro-eIycerine, and in reducing it to

Is. that its combustibility is considerably
diminished, while its explosive force remains
the same. and il is thus rendered more man

EXoRBITANT Rents. Some of the New
York papers think that the landlords of tha
city have rather overreached themselves il
asking such extrayagant rents, for theii
houses and stores. The consequences are;
that many places remain unoccupied; those
who would have hired them at fair rent:
having kept out of business, and gone into
the suburbs for dwelling houses. The same
exorbitance is prevailing in ithis vicinity.
The prices of estates and the rents of houses
and stores are frightfully high; and families
who would gladly purchase or hire, are kept
at board, or are driven into the suburbs;
where they fare little better than in the
city, though, all things considered, but very
little better, except in the matter Of room

COPPERHEAD OPINIONS OF GEN.
GRANT BEFORE HIS NOMI-
NATION.

Some months ago the copperheads were
rather hopeful that Gen Grant might be
prevailed upon to become their candidate
for the Presidency instead of the Repub-
hcan Their opinions Of the man at that
time may fairly be taken as honest ones,
therefore we propose 10 10y some Of them
before our readers and from time to time
compare them with such opinions as they
have already expressed since his nomination
and may hereafter express The Pittsbufg
Post one of the most reliable Democratic
papers in the State, within a few months
past has spoken as follows
Suppose that, contrary to the wish Of
some Of the leading Radical Black Repub-
licans, who want the office themselves, Gen.
| Grant should be nominated for the Presi-
dency BY the Republican party, which course

GoING BACK ON "A WHITE MANS
GOVERNMENT The real motive which
actuates the more sagacious Of the Demo.
cratic leaders, in iavoring the nomination Of
Chief Justice Chase, is to get rid the black
record the party has made the past twenty
years His nomination would be equivalent
to abandoning every principle the party has
advocated the past twenty years In each
successive campaign, these leaders see. they
have made more stupid and criminal bun
ders, until during the war they absolutely
covered themselves with political iniQuity.
The nomination of Chief Justice Chase
would be a confession that their past course
has been all wrong. Knowing that the re-
suit Of the present campaign is already set
tied against them, their leaders are looking
to solid reconstruction for the future, 50
that, with the new movements which shall
follow the complete rehabilitation Of the
Southern States, they may be rid of every
incubus, and start on an equal footing with
the republican party. Coming in at the
eleventh hour, aud when the work is all
done, they will claim the fun reward of life
long devotion TO freedom, equality and
union, and think than the whitewash of the
Chief Justice viii have rendered them clean.
The movement for the nomination of Mr.
Chase is simply movement toward silence
ing, at once and forever, the men who are
Democrats because they believe in it, in the
interest Of those who wish to use party as a
means TO obtain public plunder.-4i5aRJ
