The Alaska Parehsse Money

From the frst we have favored the purchase
Of Alaska by ouf9overnment, and this paper
took strong ground In favor Of the treaty a.
soon ~ II was known that Mr.. Seward had
negotiated 1t. We also believed that our See.
Rotary Of State know what he was about, and
that he acted like 9 wise Statesman In all
these proceedings, and we so said At the time.
We, therefore, endorse the following from the
New York Herald. We know It IL often DIM
cult to tell whether the Herald 10 serious or
not In what It says, but the following advice
10 good, and should be followed, and Congress
should act at once. The Hsrsii says:
ar Congress should not soon pay Russia
the paltry sum Of seven millione for Alaska
the Russian Government may back out Of the
bargain, or some euterprisfng foreign land
company, telegraph company OF sold and cop.
per mining company, Will bid higher for Il.
There are already Indications OF vast mineral
wealth In that Territory, and individuals may
soon take advantage OF the stupidity and pro-
erastination Of Congress to make better bar.
gain for Russia. We are utterly astonished
At the delay In paying for this country. In
the course OF d few years II will be worth
much more than the sum to be paid for tele.
graphic purposes to Asia, to say nothing Of
the mineral wealth, the fisheries, the vast
timber lands and other resources. The conduct
Of Congress In not appropriating the money
promptly to pay for what the qovernment
engaged to pay, 10 mean, stupid and short.

Hon. william sprsxue.

1t issgratifyins fact Rhode Island has just
reelected Its Senator, Hon. William Sprague,
for six years from the 4th OF March next. Mr..
Sprague Is faithful representative Of the In.
terests OF his State, and the whole nation 10
Indebted to him for his noble conduct and en-.
inent services during the war. As Governor
OF his native State, he was among the first to
respond to the cali OF the President for troops
after the assault upon Sumpter, and he not
only raised men, and sent them to the field, but
he went with themi and, moreover, he fur
nished these troops out Of his own private
purse. He has been always faithful, a true
and loyal man, and his services In the field
and In the Senate have been always for his
country and for humanity. We rejoice at his
reelection. II is an honor to himself and his
State.

THE SUCCESS OF THE TICKET.

We know how prone all are to claim cleo
tions as bound to 60 in favor Of the party to
which they are attached, and we are sensible
OF the fact that predictions OF this sort that
are not predicated upon solid foundations are
OF no account but when these predictions are
based upon certain and irrefragable testimony
and unmistakable indications, IL will do to as
sume that definite results are sure TO follow.
We can confidently look to the indications
which now everywhere appear, and, basing
our calculations upon these, predict success as
= dead certainty.
The Grant and Colfax nominations are re-
eeived everywhere with favor, and any man
who will observe the signs Of the times, must
admit that the triumph Of our ticket 10 a fore
gone conclusion.
In the hrst place, we have all the newsPa.
pers which have ever been Republican, and
which for a time were doubtful, squarely out
for Grant and Colfsx. The New York Com
msreiai, the Timer, and Pohj the Springfield
(Massachusetts) Republican, and several other
journals which might be named. The Cincin-
natl Commercial 10 out In earnest advocacy OF
the Chicago nominees.
All know that In California, last year, sew.
eral OF the leading Republican papers went
against the party on local grounds. These ali
now ny the Republican nag. In looking ovei
the field, we Ind that many Democrats are
coming In In support Of our cause. In the
town Of Auburn, Maine, some seventy Demo
Gratis have given In their adhesion to the
ticket, and many will be found In difreren
localities who will do the same thing.
When the +th OF July convention shall have
made Its nominations, no matter who theli
nominees may be, there will be q stampede
which will sstonish even the managers Of thai
concern themselves.
The fact is, the people have confidence In
our great Chieftain; for they know that he Is
to be trusted. He led our armies to victory
through one OF the most formidable and terri.
Bile wars OF modern times, and he will lead the
whole country In peace to a safe and sure re-
pose, and to q greatness heretofore unknown.
This the people know, and they will trust
him. They feel that In these times he 10 the
man, before all others, that the circumstance
Of the country call for.
In the meantime, Gen. Grant will remain
quietly at his headquarters In the perform
ance OF his duties as General Of the armies Of
the United States, unmoved by what may be
said or done outsider the same reticent, self
possessed man that he always has been, only
waiting for the people to call him to other
and different duties, coatent to abide the issue
whatever that may be, unexcited and une L.
oitable, never turning to the right hand or tn,
left for any mans favor or opposition. He
will write no letters, and especially will he
avoid telling newspaper correspondents what
he will do or will not do In the event Of hit
election. He has said his say to the commit

The HOUSE passed the New York Steamship
Navigation bill yesterday, but at present It only
authorizes the Postmaster General to arrange
with the company for carrying the mails
across the Atlantic, but gives to the corpora
ton no subsidy. We much doubt whether
any company can sustain itself under the
operation Of such law. 1t strikes US that In
order to enable this American company to
compete successfully with European lines the
Government must furnish subsidy. We are
quite willing, however, that the expert ment
should be tried without the subsidy, II there
