SOMETHING TO BE HOPED FOR FROM
GRANTS ADMINISTRATION

canism through the election of Graz
and loyal successor to the 40th Coz
= gress, provides the power, the mean
and the disposition whereby to SUI
press and remove the causes of agita
tion which have distracted the atter
ton of the country from the contempla
ton of the greater questions of politi
cal economy which are inseparabl
from the healthy and vigorous actio,
of governmental functions. The sys
tematized and gigantic frauds which
have been practiced, almost unmolested
through the unfaithfulness of the pres
ent heads of Departments at Washing
ton and which would have swamped a
less vigorous commonwealth than this,
are certain to b. cured and enterpri-
ses which have langulshed for want of
chance for receiving due attention
are likely to receive substantial aid.
The question -" Have we nation"
has been mphatically and affirmatively
answered and out of the great and
promising future We may expect to see
arise something grander and more
worthy of national pride and dignity
than the absurd " real estate dealings"
Of the present Secretary of State.
Already the Pacific Railroad is within
few months of completion and when
it is done, the long pent up tide of mi
grafton and traffic, pouring across the
continent like the rush of long pent
waters, will proclaim the GROWING act
of the peace policy of the Republican
master effort of that practi-
cal Unionism which has dared to put
in operation, upon an almost boundless
scale, the pet heory of Wing statesmen,
the necessity and entire propriety Of
Internal Improvement.
The condition of mere solvency, if
allowed to rest upon itself, is destruc-
i've of that spirit of enterprise without
which nations as well as business COM
stagnate and recede. No think
ng man, anywhere, doubts the capacity
If the people of the United States to
iquidate, in good time, the great ma
ional debt. But the country cannot
Itford to be a mere debtor it must

ourage OF the American people but
hat genius ard courage must not be
onsidered exhausted thereby. We
lust enjoy our glories not stop
ill to contemplate them and congratu-
tie ourselves upon their accomplish c
