The Next President.

We reproduce from the Atlant
Monthly, for May, the principI
Z part Of an artical under the aboy
caption, which, on account of il
insight into the character Of th
great Captain of the United State.
and the just estimate of his servi
ces to the country, win command
universal attention. We believ,
that there is not a Republican il
the land who does not expect Cen
Grant to be nominated at the Chi.
eago Convention by acclamation.
and, with the exception, perhaps,
OF Theodore Tilton, Wendell Phil,
lips, and the devoted personal
friends Of Chief Justice Chase, there
are few who do not earnestly de-
sire such a result. Since treason
appeared at the White house, and
the Executive power was used to
defeat the ends of justice and break
down that branch Of the National
Government more directly than any
other representing the people, the
necessity Of selecting President
who shall have the old time respect
for the Constitution and the laws,
has been apparent. In Mr.. Lin
coin the people found beloved ru-
Ter, who conscientiously regarded
their interests as paramount, and
who had a manly respect for the
privileges of their representatives.
lie was nearer to them than any of
his predecessors, and, excepting
W ashington, the noblest of the
Presidents. A man having similar
qualifications, is the one who will
possess their confidence. and com
mand their votes for President
zen. Grant possesses these quaIif- |
cations in greater degree than any /
1ther of the leading public men of
his country, and so it is, that there
las been a conviction in the minds
'f all for the past twelve months,
hat he would be nominated by the
National Republican Convention
whenever it should meet. Politi- |
clans soon found it was impossible
% overcome this popular feeling,
and they abandoned the attempt to
make one of their number, having
great experience in public affairs,

Costly Indulgences,

The relation ofpublic tranquility
to the value of property, is forcibly
illustrated by the prices at which
real estate is sold in the South, or
would be sold ifthere were any buy
ers. Plantations are offered at less
than the cost of improvements,
without finding purchasers, And
yet there are plenty of people in the
North who have capital to invest
upon such opportunities. And there
is a great stream of emigrants to
the West, who generally carry
means which would set them up in
the South.
Why is it that this capital shuns
the South, and that this tide of en-
igration neglects its natural course
toward warmer cline, and infexi
bly, fixes its face upon the West p
1t is for no other, reason than be-
cause property and persons are in
secure in the South because the
disposition Of the people of that
region does not promise the pub
lie tranquility and the protection
of law which are necessary to at
tract capital or intelligent emf
grants nor does it afford the hope
hat the settlement Of the country
will bring those institutions which
'elong to civilized society, so long
S the present generate n remain.
The indulgences of sedition, of
ternal hostility to the nation, of
atred of the Northern people, and
t the Ku-Klux Klan, are costly
leasures, for they cost the South
he loss of Northern capital, which, h
ut for this dispensation, would
ave put their production on a
rosperous footing. Northern en-
grants will seek the Western wilds, |
r remote foreign lands or any
here but the South, where the eli 6
ate naturally draws them, and 8
here, if the inhabitants were law |
1iding, there would be the best /
oportunities for the profitable in ]
of capital, Gin. Gaz. v

The Washington Chronicle says that
movements arc now on foot for renew
ing the efforts Of last spring to secure
an addition Of twenty per cent. to the
salaries Of Government clerks, and with
considerable hope Of success. We be-
lieve in making a fair return for all Ia
Dor performed, either for individuals,
corporations or government, yet We are
opposed to any increase at the present
time Of the salary Of any public officers,
from President down. There is never
any lack Of effort put forth to obtain
such positions, and if the compensation
is not sufficient for the duties required,
then let tue holders or applicants turn
their attention to something else. If
the elerkships were all held by disabled
soldiers, the case would be different,
We also believe In the propriety Of CIV
ing all such department desks Is are
not filed by soldiers to women. They
can do most Of the work quite a. we'll
as men, and now receive a much less
salary.

AT the meeting of the National
Board Of Trade at Cincinnati last week,
the Northern Pacific road was recon-
mended to Congress with grand con-
glomeration of all the other routes and
branches proposed or contemplated.
This was unjust to this national thor
oughfa:e, which is Of paramount impor-
lance. Let the people, especially If
Minnesota, take vigorous hold of the
matter. They should write to their
Senator'S and congressman urging &C.
ton and what is Of fully equal i'm
portance, tn ey should write to such
Congressman from other States as they
nay be acquainted with. Put forth

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

This White House emanation was
mailed to our subscribers last VI ok in a
supplement. As they have already
learned from its perusal, it is snappish,
illnatured, insulting document, con-
tanning very much that is to be con-
demued and very little that is worthy of
favor. The President spends the last
few breaths OF his official life in en-
deavoring to inf.se animation into the
corpse Of "my policy" which the peo-
pie have placed far beyond any resurrec-
ton. This message very fully embodies
the spirit Of disgraceful administra-

NORMAL SCHOOL MATTERS.

The State Normal School Board met
At St. Paul on tho 18th. The reports
Of tho principals Of the two schools al
ready established were received; also
the report Of the Prudential Committee
at this place, We understand that, by
reason Of the absence Of Gen. Andrews,
who is member Of the Board, no def.
inlte action was taken concerning the
selection Of a site at St. Cloud. Thus
this gentleman appears again as the
evil genius Of project which he was
selected specially to benefit. Since the
day Of his appointment he has borne
upon it like an incubus, and it is not
his fault that the movement has not
long since proved a failure.
As to bis present whereabouts, no
person seems to know, and, aside from
bis position on this Board and his
ability in consequence to injure the
town, there is if possible a still fewer
number who care. Some say he is in
California-perhaps filing "othsr ap-
pointments. Othels report him as
beeing somewhere along the line Of the
Union Pacific Railroad, in the interest
of which Company he has doubtless
been for some time past. Having &C.
complished his purpose of defeating the
Republican party in this District, and
as his reward for the service is doubt
less transportable, he can be here, there
oranywhcre. We trust, however, that
he has still left sufficient consideration
for the wishes Of the people Of this
section, if not self respect, to resign at
once his position on the Normal Board
"a position to which he has been far
from bringing credit.
But as Gen. Andrews is very 10th to
resign anything that savors in the least
Of Office, We hope the Board will not
delay its action further on his account.
The Prudential Committee reflects the
wishes Of the people of'St. Cloud at
least thirty-three per cent. more cor
rectiy without Gen. Andrews than Nth
him. An early selection of the site is
desirable, and We trust that the Normal
Board will proceed soon to take tia
matter into consideration.

UP TINE wDsT SIDE.

* Can any one give Us further Information
respecting the 81. Cloud Railroad charter Of

apolis TO the Minnesota river, at any point
between ranges IS and 81 west Of the
principal meridian! 10 tho swamp land

steps should DO Immediately taken TO make
It available for the new prcjeo t.-Ninnsapo-
Us Tribune
This charter is still in full foroo and
effect, and tho swamp land gront IS &C.
curely held. But tho records of the
Company are in somewhat mixed con-
dition, or rather they cannot DO got At
at all. There is also a disagreeabls III.
NOR in circulation to tho effect that a
majority Of thu stock has been trans.
sferred or pledged to the First Division
Of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad.
Ut course if once in their hands, tho
prospects for road up the west side
OF the Mississippi would be far from
encouraging. Although suit has been
instituted for this stock, yet We have
been assured by the party most interest
ed that it will not be transferred.
The Importance of railroad on the
west side of the Mississippi, linking
St. Cloud aud Minneapolis, and con-
nocting with tho proposed line to St.
Peter, is recognized by all. The body
Of the settlement and the best lands
arc on this side. The public will be
interested considerably in the future
movements Of the Company organized
for the construction of this road. A
meeting will doubtless DO held ere long,
and We hope steps will be taken for
putting the work in practical shape. It
would add greatly to tho business pros
perity of St. Cloud, and indeed would
largely benefit all the country lying
along the west side of the river.
