II. G. as Envoy to England.

From te AZ r, WOTlQ.
We really begin to believe that II. 6.
means TO leave us. Not, of course, for that
bourne from which no traveller returns; for
''the good man," Callim2chus tells us, "never
dies" and If Ii. G. be- not good man, there
are neither snakes in Virginia Copperheads
in New York, blockheads in the Loyal League,
nor Ku-KluX in Tennessee. But We believe
that II. g., knowing himself to be an honest
man, and likely therefore to command conf
dence, has agreed "to lie abroad for the good
of the commonwealth" Sinners have en-
ticed him and he has consented T. them. He
has accepted the post of American Envoy at
the Court OF st. James. Was this the object
of the willy people who persuaded our philoso-
pher to breakfast on tilet of beef and to
smoke matutinal cigar the other day at
Delmonico's with the President elect? We
do not pretend to know.
But the Tribune OF late has been full of
signs and wonders, all pointing one way, and
evidently intended to prepare the public
mind for the appearance of the sage of Chap
paqua in the role of an ambassador. One of
these, for instance, was the speech of fl. G.
himself, delivered at the meeting recently held
in this city to secure the pardon of Hester
Vaughan. Those who know how ardent a
philogynist II, G. is, and how forcibly IL was
his wont in former days to declaim against
the gallows, must have been surprised at
the gingerly and guarded way in which he
pleaded at that meeting for mercy to the
hsplsss Hester. Not one of the Capital Let
ters which he has at his command for all the
ordinary contingencies of life and of politics
did he order up aud hurl against this gross
abuse of Capital Punishment. He seemed to
be suffering under positive constipation OF
adectives, never so much as intimated that
he thought hanging the poorest use to which
woman could be put had nothing to say
about the "vfllany" of anybody concerned in
the matter, and wound up, after singularly
brief haranRue, by remarking that che did
not think it wise to say any more" All this,
from the stand point of H. G.'s past career
was unaccountable enough. But the moment
that we consider him in the light of a suck
ing diplomatist the thing becomes perfectly
clear. He was simply practising himself in
the great diplomatic art OF Show not to say
it,"
The iciousvituperatiOn'o of Reverdy johnson
with which the Tribune has of late so con
stantly teemed is another symptom OF the
truth. H. G. and John Bright, yod see, have
made little Joint arrangement for the pnr
pose of resping where Mr.. Seward and LOr(

The Spanish Revolution.
From the ". Y. Herald.

from The ~. L. Herald.
Our latest news from Europe regarding the
revolution in Spain shows that that country is
no exception to the general rule. Revolutions
have their peculiarities one and all, but it is
wonderful how like the one is the other. On
this continent we have sharp way of set
tling what Europe calls revolution; but then
we are a new people, and new people have
new ways. On the other side it is curious to
notice how old-fashioned all their ways are
The Spanish revolution is the first thing of the
kind which has happened in Europe since our
four years struggle. Spain began WE'LL but,
so far as we can judge from present appear
ances, Spain is away back in the sixteenth
century, and has yet all essential lessons to
learn. She wants men; she wants everything.
One conclusion at least seems to be fair
Spain is to be left to work out her own des-
tiny. 1t may be long work; it may be
short work. Who can tell which This at
least seems just-no one is disposed to meddle
with her; and, as was the case with the great
revolutions in England and in France, Spain
is very likely to be allowed to work out her
own destiny. If Spain makes bungle of it,
the fault will be her own.

General Grant and the Seven Traitors.

General Grant and the Seven Traitors.
FTon The NJ Y. Herald.
A radical organ and sort of Johnson-con-
servative-half-Way- DoOlittle Republican organ
have been debating the important question
whether the appointment of Senator DOolittle
to place in General Grants Cabinet would be
a proper thing, and from the weight of the
argument against him We infer that Doolittle
is dished, and that henceforth his fortunes
are identified with the firm of Johnson, Doo-
little and Dixon and the Philadelphia john
son Convention of 1866. But what of the
seven Republican traitors, so called, who voted
for Andy Johnson's acquittal, including Fes-
sepden and Trumbulll What if General
Grant should appoint one of these men to his
Cabinet He is perfectly free to do so. He is
under no bonds against them. He is not in
any way foresworn to the radicals. He is, in
fact, a conservative, and it is quite possible
that he may think Fessenden or Trumbull
the right man for the Treasury or Attorney
General. Such an appointment, moreover,
would fix the status of the new administration
on sound, conservative basis; and, sooner
or later, it will come TO this complexion, If we
are not mistaken in the leanings of General
Grant.

offices that control the county patronage
A mere reference to the fact that one
OF the beautiful trio in whose defence the
article was written from which the above
extract is taken. was Deputy Treasurer
of Belmont County, when large def
cheney occurred, which the bondsman
of the treasurer had to pay; another was
Auditor of the county and, while in this
Office, this same st. Clairsvilie Gazette
charged him with pocketing section six
teen funds instead of certifying it into
the treasury; both of them were in the
Clerks office and failed to pay over, ac-
cording to law, The unclaimed costs
which accumulated during their terms
The other OF this celebrated committee
acted as Sheriff of Belmont County and
succeeded in getting larger fees entered
upon the docket of the Court without
in many cases specifying items, than any
one who has ever held the office. 1t
may be an honor to the Democratic
party To have such a committee, and
that kind of a committee may be the
best calculated TO develop the strength of
that party, but it would be the ruin of
any party having the least respect for
honor or honesty, and we submit the fol-
lowing as a representation of our opinion
of the capacity of that committee in the
way OF county patronage.
