DEMOCRACY In TROUBLE.

Inc SOlutuOus correspondent Vi luc
Cleveland Herald gives the following
account of the condition of the Demo.
cratic party at Columbus:
- 3 CoLUMBUs, July, Is.
Notwithstanding some OF the Demo-
cratic journals of the State pretend ta be
very enthusiastic over the nomination. Ot
Rosecrans. there is now no doubt that
some of the leading politicians of the
State are making most vigorous efforts
to push Rosecrans off the ticket, first
give him a chance TO resign, and, in case
of his refusal to do this, put him off.
They say his record would be splendid
one to head the Republican ticket, but
the masses persistently refuse to swal-
low a man who has for years denounced
them as traitors and scoundrels. How
much will be effected by this movement
it is impossible TO say, but the simple
fact that there Is such movement, is
sufficient to show that harmony does not
prevail iu the Democratic camp.
49, IL, CeLUMBUs, July IS.
The troubles of the Democracy do not
come singly.A The Rosecrans dose has
torn the faithful up terribly, but now
there is q new cause oil alarm. 1t comes
in the shape of the failure of A. G..
Headley & Co., whose liabilities are con-
siderable. John @. Thompson, the
Chairman of the State Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee, is a member of the
defunct firm, and it is feared that cam
paign contribu ions will not come in
very freely when the fact is taken into
together with the disselu-
ton of the partnership heretofore exist
ing in the banking business between
Bailey Il Thompson. Mr.. Headley is
the present county treasurer. and is a
for reelection.
Senator Thurman soon leaves for Cal
ifornia to be gone during almost the en-
tire campaign, SO that, between il all,
the Democracy feel that they have an
executiv committee, and
the chance for dismal canvass. During
my long residence at the State capital,
have never seen u more disconsolate
set than some of the Democrats are here
tonight.
At the instigation of the bondsmen
Of Mr.. Headly, Judge Pugh has appoint
ed o. p. Hines to make special exam
nation of the county treasury, and a
to guard the vaults until the
is completed. Up TO this
time all looks well ,or Headley. This
failure is the all-absorbing theme of con- |
versation here tonight. g-1 ...f' |

A Union call was agreed to, State Con-
vention was held, and though much
precious time had been lost and many
repelled, several gentlemen of large ex-
perience and influence came to Rich

had defeated Uuion in April, resisted

and repelied those who came to Rich.

There can be no shadow of doubt in

tee; that he was in the retinue Of the Presl-
dent while the latter ''swung around the
circle" making speeches to promote the Phi
ladelphia movement. But the Times goes
pretty far in assuming, at this late day. in
spite of all that has since occurred, that Gene
raj Grant, from having been a laokey in such
movement, ia now preparing to become the
leader in a similar one. II was once custom
in great houses for laokeys to inherit the gar
ments of their lords after they had ceased to
be in fashion, but the relative positions Of
General Grant and President Johnson have so
greatly changed, that the new President may
have some reluctance to wear the oast-of po-
litical clothes of his predecessor. Perhaps the
Times thinks it would be pleasant for him to
be the central body in such system than
satellite. If such movement could succeed,
it might please General Grant to lead it; but
perhaps he will regard President
Johnson's attempt to form personal party
rather as a warning than an example. II Mr..
Johnson, instead of trimming for the first
year or two, and trying to form q new party,
had boldly thrown himself upon the support
of the Democrats, he and not Genersf Grant
would take the Inauguration oath on the 4th
of next month. To govern successfully with
ont party, or to form personal party, is
impossible under our institutions. Even
Washington could not stand upon his personal
influence, but was forced into the Federal
party. The only two Presidents who ever at
tempted to form personal party were Tyler
and Johnson, one having been elected by
Wings and the other by Republicans. They
felt that it would not be quite honorable to
60 straight into the camp of the enemy; but
they had better have done so than to incur
the vigorous maledictions of the party that
elected them without gaining the confidence
of the other. Both Tyler and Johnson were
made candidates because they were not in full
sympathy with the party, as make-weight
to catch doubtful votes.
General Grant was given the first place on
the Republican ticket for the same reason that
in the preceding election Mr.. Johnson was as
signed the second. Generally, when Presi-
| dent and the party that elected him find them
| selves out Of harmony, 1t is in consequence of
the unintended promotion to the first office of
| man who was elected to the second. 1t was
| dispensation of Providence, and not party
| provision, that brought about the jangle. But
in this case, the Republican party has delibe-
rately elected man known to be out of SYM
| pathy with them to the Office of President.
They have knowingly created such an inoon-
! gruity as accidentally happened by the eleva-
| tion of Mr.. Johnson to an Office they never
intended he should fill. They thought it a
clever piece of strategy to seduce General
Grant to be their candidate, and prevent his
| election by the Democrats. But this kind of
| smartness is very apt to overreach itself. In
| the present instance, it has led to jangle be-
| fore the inauguration, and nobody in the Re-
| publican party knows what to count upon
| afterwards.

coldly analyze their claims we have odd re-

he was to be elected. Now he thinks Grant
should surround himself with "practioal men,"

With men like these, clamorous, uneasy,
and eager for mere Advancement, we can un-
derstand the doubt and hesitation Of General
Grant, and can well appreciate his rumored
determination to make his Cabinet personal
staff, selected for their power to work and
their devotion to his administration. We
venture no suggestions. AS we have said, we
have no curiosity and little concern about the
Cabinet. Grant has but to consider two things
first, his duty to the people, and second,
his obligations as a man of honor to the Re-
publican party. He can find the men to do
his work, and we trust he may find men who
will work. Every other consideration is
second to this. His history shows that we
may trust his judgment. When great battles
were to be fought he found one instrument in
command of drafted camp--in disgrace and
under cloud another in an ex-quartermas

The ereturn match in the 'home and

Kilpst,ick is going on finely. The "innings"

last fall ended in the bowling out of Kilpat-
rick, with very small score. In the present
Washington match, Butler first went to the
hat and it looked for q while as If his Chilli
friend would be also batted out of his game,
with neither honors nor profits. But now the
latter has suddenly retrieved himself, so that
we are already prepared to hail him victor.
We speak thus metaphorically of the con-
test over the "consolidation of the South
American Missions" which, after being
efIeoted in the House, at Buffers instance,
has lust been undone again in the Senate at
Ktlpatrick's instance because those gentle
men represent this to be "purely personal
matter" Or, rather, General Butler takes the
ground that he is proceeding from purely
patriotic and General Fitzpatrick from purely
personal motives. While General Fitzpatrick
makes, ouriously enough, exactly the same
point against General Butler. Fitzpatrick
saws that Butler resolved last November to
''crush Fitzpatrick" and that "now the

claims, or else he himself would not try to
''Crush Fitzpatrick in this particular way.

great majority while Fitzpatrick has carried
the Senate by a majority equally great.

on which Fitzpatrick defends his. Which is

General Grant and the Republican Party

General Grant and the Republican Party.
From the ". Y. World.
An editorial of the Times, though writ
ten with different aim, corroborates all
the World has said respecting the distrust
and ill-feeling which have grown up between
General Grant and the Republican leaders.
Trying to deny all it can, the Times finds itself
than etfaces the impression that General
Grant and the Republican leaders have no
confidence in each other. The President elect,
the Times would have us think, is going to
appeal from the Republican leaders to the Re-
publican masses; that is, he is going to unseat
the recognized chiefs of the party and mount
into their vacant saddle himself. But as
he has never been a Republican, except
pro hac rice to be candidate for Office, the
steed may prove a little restive under so raw
a rider. The Times has clear enough per-
ceptiOn of this difficulty, and seeks to evade it
by suggesting that General Grant will form a
new party of his own, consisting Of the con-
servative Republicans and moderate Demo.
Gratis, using each of the old parties as a quarry
for the construction of his new edifoe. This
is the same idea which the Seward clique put
into the head of President johnson, and which
blossomed ont in the famous Philadelphia
Convention. We doubt whether the success
of that brilliant endeavor has prepossessed the
masses of either party in favor of a similar
experiment
The Times article makes General Grant
about the same kind of Republican that
President Johnson affected to be in 1866 and
copjectures that hs will adopt the same tactics.
| We have no leisure TO look into the files of
the Times for the year preceding the Phila
delphia Convention; but If our memory be
not at fault, such search would supply us
with many articles in the same vein as the one
quoted-articles the burden.-of which was to
show that the Republican party had accom-
plished its mission, and to facilitate the forma-
tion OF new party composed chiefly of Re-
| publican elements, with a sufficient accession
| Of Democrats to overbalance the loss of the
radicals. The role assigned TO President John
son then, was similar to that suggested for
| General Grant now.
1t is so easy for the mind to slide into for
mer trains OF thought, that II may not be very
surprising that the editor of the Times, who
was the author of the Philadelphia Address,
| should look at new subjects from his old
| points OF view; but one would suppose that
| he, at least, would remember the autumH
| blight OF that movement, as well as its spring

the Republican National Committee, of which
he was chairman, like Satan over the battle
ments of heaven; and he sullenly abandoned
the movement when he found that the Demo
cratic Convention of this State could not be
