TWO WAYS.

he can't say. In fact there is very little-if
he only tells what he knows-that he can

principles lead, and that Government Of the

support. If Gen. Grant shall be n candidate
for next President, he viii be the regular
nominee of that great party which lives and
labors to secure Equal Rights to All Men, and
that party and its nominees are sure Of our
most earnest and hearty support. We stood
by its cradle, and expect, if it dies before
us, to follow its hearso.
Yet we do not advise nor favor the nomina-
ton of Gen. Grant. The following extract
from the leading article of yesterdays World
may serve to indicate some of our reasons:
eft is universally conceded by the Republicans that
there is but IN the United States who he

paTty Gen Grants nomination by the Republicans is
foregone conclusion. But why DO they nominate man

False as some Of the above assertions are,
there is still truth enough in the extract to
give edge to its malignity. There are thou

In the Senate yesterday bill was intro

The remainder Of the session was devoted to

In the House bill was reported to establish

The relations between Prussia and France
appear to be at present of an entirely pacific
nature. The official declaration of the French
Government on the German question have for
some months been uniformly amicablc. Though
the usual equivocation which characterlzes the
diplomatic utterances of the French Govern
ment was not entirely wanting, it was evident
that for the present an understanding with Prus-
STA had been arrived at, and that all causes OF
quarrel would be studiously avoided. This
opinion has been greatly strengthened by the
recent speech of Bismarck, who in the most
positive manner assured the Prussians that this
year they need not fear any war with France.
The good understanding between the two rival
Powers probably rests on positive assurance
from France that she definitely and forever
abandons her opposition to the contamination
of German unity.

WHAT 4 YEaR HATH WROUGHT.


II is scarcely more than year ago that the
Editor of TIE TRIBUNE was put up and put
down as a candidate for tho Senate-in either
case, entirely independent of any action Of his
own--the putting down being based expressly
and exclusively on his letter or address, urging
a speedy settlement of our remaining National
troubles on the comprehensive basis of UNI
vERsAL AMNESTY with IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE.
He expressly discamed any purpose or desire to
chatter or dicker in the premises, but urged
that both Of the proposed bases were desirable,
each for itself, and not as makc-weght to
the other. A tremendous howl went up from
the Republican press of our State-and from
some journals outside of it-and it was very
generally agreed that all notion of choosing
the author of such manifesto TO the Senate
must thereupon be abandoned. SO it was

Except the stamp tax, no taxes are pad so
readily, or with so little evasion, as the license
tax. The Commissioner deneunces the present
system Of distributing the revenue offices to
reward political services as most expensive
and improbable one for the taxpayers, and
recommends instead that they be appointed
only after examination by a civil service
board of examiners, to consist of five officers
of the Treasury Department. To such a
board should not only be referred the ques-
tions of appointments and removals, but OF
rules and modes of collecting revenue, and
changes in the revenue laws. By this means
our revenue system, which ought to be hex
ible, and not rigid, would at the same time DC
consistent and systematic. The suggestions
made by the report are the result of long and
familiar acquaintance with the details of our
revenue, and give evidence of great clearncss
and impartiality in the investigation of the
subject.

the Convention should have no fears, but go
ahead and, if additional legislation is needed,
state what it is and it will be furnished. Gen.
Meade addressed the Convention. He said he
was sent to administer the Reconstruction
acts, which were the laws until decided
otherwise by competent authority, and he
should do so faithfully for the best interests
of the people, as he understood them. Ex-Gov.
Brown addressed large audience. He de-
