The New York Press on the
Chicago Nominations,


NEW YORK May 22.-Of the nom
nations made yesterday the Herald
says:-Grant is stronger than his par
ty, and Colfax is the most popular man
of his party. and the Republican tick
ct is. a strong one.
The Times says the people have
faith in Grant and the election Of Col
fax is em~inently judicious.
The World says: The ticket would
have been a strong one five months ago.
It is completely western and wholly
radical.-Grant is without popular quail
tiles, but q successful military career
hides a multitude of defects. Colfax
is perhaps the most popular man in his
party. On tho whole the ticket is not
a strong one. .
The Tribune predicts that Grants
electoral and popular majorities will ex-
coed those of Lincoln over McClellen'
He will receive more votes from recon
struction rebels than any other nan in
the country. Under the auspices Of
Grant and Colfax ourcountry is destin-
ed to achieve speedy restoration to its
former prosperity and more than its
former fraternity.
The Sun says the Chicago ticket is
a strong mi and will receive the enthu
siastic support of the Republicans.
The Times, while generally approx
ing the platform thinks, as a matter Of
policy rather :han propriety, the whole
subject of impeachment should hav,
been avoided.

REPUBLICAN N o NJ a
TONS.

The Republican Convention at Chi
cago, last week, nominated Gen. U. s
GRANT, for President; and Hor.
SCHUYLER CcLFAx, Of Indiana, for
Vice President.
When the telegram announcing thu
nominations was received, the Editor
Of the Times made a spasmodic effort
to work himself up to a little enthusi
ism.
After a vigorous search to find 9
a republican banner, he at last sue
ceeded /, and exhibited the same from
his Office window.
The shouts that greeted "that same
old flag" in other days were not to b.
heard. Tie inquiry passed quietl.
around as to the cause of putting on
.stbat same old flag"
When it was learned that tie Time
had read JUDGE CHAsR out of the par
ty; and was now trying to risea a shou
for Grant, the spectators said, "is tina
al Z"
Reader, that is all. There were n
loud shouts-no squads of artillery
no Examinations. to be seen. Th
whole thing fell like a wet blanket o
that party.

Lincoln ON Negro
Suffrage.

1t appears, from he testimony OF
Secretary Stanton before the Judiciary
Committee, that President Lincoln vi
to the last period of his life was oppos
ed to negro suffrage. Here is wba'
Stanton says:
"The President expressed his views
very clearly and distinctly. 1 express
ed my views, and other members of tn.
Cabinet expressed their views. Thu
objection of the President to throwins
the franchise upon the colored peopl,
appeared to be fixed, and 1 think every
member of the Cabinet assented to the
arrangement as it was specified in tn,
proc amation relative to North Carroll
ma. After that L do not remember
that the subject was ever discussed ii
the Cabinet"
This North Carolina Proclamation re
stricted suffrage to the white race jus
| as it was before the war. 1t was after
ward adopted by President johnson
ver6atim, and formed the substance Of
| his whole reconstruction policy. TIL
Radicals now make Lincoln's views
! ground of impeachment in his success
or.
For attempting to carry out the dec
| trine laid down by MI Lincoln, tn
| Chicago convention denounced Johnso
as recreant 10 his party; aud heaps a.
sorts of curses upon his devoted heae

Mrs. IincoIn's Estimate of
# General Grant.

In the late book published by a
former negro domestic in the Lincoln
family, Mrs. LiBcoin is credited with
the following expression of opinion
with refrenc, to General Grant:
s'Speaking of Grant to her husband
the President, she observed:
He is a butcher, and is net fit to be
at the head of an army And when the
President said, by way of defending
the General. But he has been very
successful, she replied, Eyes, he gen
eraly manages to claim a victory, but
such a victory! He looses two men foi
the enemy's one. If the war should
remain feur years longer, and he in
power, be would depopulate the North
According to his tactics there is moth
ing under the heavens to do but to
march a new lire of men up in font
of the rebel breastworks, to be shot
down as fast as they take their position
Grant 1 repeat, is gu obstinate fool and
a butcher!!'
The above is a truthful and admirable
criticism upon the military genius and
character of Grant, and we agree with
the New York Herald, that it indicates
that Mrs. Lincoln is,by no means,
devoid of acumen and good judgment

"Gentlemen-l want to know what

Now 1 tell you one thing, no party

Trumbull, Fessenden, Ross, and that
like, and SO with those papers of your.
in your city that published Grimes
speech, and trumbull's speech, and BY
Cd wouldn't publish one of oul

I tell you that if you tolerate things
like this you won't have any party but
a damned short time.
