A Might Scene in Lima.
A recent Lima letter about the great

A recent Lima letter about the great
earthquake says:
Every night the protecting Saint, Sc
nor Del Mar, who is to sllay the waters
of the sea and keep them in their proper
bounds, is carried through the streets,
followed by an immense procession.
For over two weeks this ceremony has
been nightly enacted, stopping at the
large open square or plaza, where the
priests address the people. There is some
thing utterly thrilling and unesrthly in
this nightly procession Of persons, all
veiled and draped in black; in the hoarse,
muttered prayers Of the priests, the shrill
answers and responses of the people,
and the ghostly light of the wax tspers !;
and you cannot hear the solemn chant
ing without a shudder. The people must
be terribly frightened when they will
nightly bring out the Saint and follow
him with cries and tears in such immense
professions. 1t suggests solemn sub
jects-funerals, mourning, death and
sundry other sad images, and the con-
trast is all the more striking because the
people are naturally Of gay and jovial
disposition.

Grants position on suffrage is mat
ter of real or affected doubt by some of
the Northern papers. The Round Idote
commenting upon the vista OF diihculties
and troubles now opening to the view OF
the country in the political operation OF
the reconstruction acts, anys: Keep
ing in view these reflections, and acknowl-
edgiug that Gen. Grants chances OF
election are apparently on the increase,
we have heard with satisfaction the
report that that officer is opposed to
negro suffrage, or rather, that he tavors
the regulation of the question in all
cases by the States themselves, as pro-
yided BY the original Constitution. Hav-
ing no party ties, hopes or aspirations,
we may be permitted to repeat what we
have often said before, that we care only
for what seems to US to be for the good
of the whole country; and certainly IN
the event of Gen. Grants success his
holding the opinion thus imputed to him
would nut the national future in much
more cheerful light than We have lately
been accustomed to think possible. The
dangers and uncertainties which are In
separable from an obstinate adhesion to
tbe chief and most offensive Of the Rad
ical doemas would be materially lessened
by the next Presidents Reputation OF It.
The report that, in case OF election, Gen.
Grant will so repudiate Il, originated. We
believe. with the New York Herald, q
Journal whose statements and prognosti-
cations are often bitterly abused and
derided, but justified by events in the
seouel. Our cotemporary may, per
haps, be misinformed; but assuredly il
would be q happy thing for the republic
we're Il to prove otherwise. As the fact,
