Genera, G.raut-A Return to Business.


General Grant has been enjoying good
summer vacation. He has been to the Rip
Raps, the favorite seaside resort OF Old
Hickory; he has dropped in at Old Point
Comfort fortress Monroe), great resort OF
the Southern tobacco and cotton aristocracy
in ''the good old times" of the divinity of
negro slavery he has had real good time
among our fashionable moths and butterflies at
Long Branch he was the lion of Gimore's
grand panjandrum of the Boston Tommy Dodd
Peace Jubilee he has pretty thoroughly done
the drives, the Park and the institutions of
New York he has enjoyed the summer attrac-
tons Of West Point and of Saratoga and New
port and the White Mountains; he has been
making pretty extensive detour Of Pennsyl-
vania, from the Delaware to the Ohio river,
and in all these excursions he has been well
coined and feted and treated with manifesto
tons of the largest hospitality, respect, admi-
ration and public confidence. He has also
learned much of the prevailing opinions and
wishes and the great interests of the people;
for he has freely mingled with men of all
parties, creeds, classes and races, although he
has made no political speeches and has
avoided as far as possible anything like
parade or display.
Now we are informed, from the pretty little
village of Washington, in Western Pennsyl-
vania, that as the repairs which have been
going on all this time in the White House are
finished, and that as we are near the time of
the ''first FROST" which extinguishes the
malaria of the sickly Potomac, the President
expects to leave his present quarters on
Wednesday next for Wheeling, W. Va, and
will there take the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road over the Alleghanies direct for the
national capital, where he expects to arrive on
Thursday; that this will complete his round
of summer recreations, and that thenceforward
he calculates to be at his official post of duty
till the reassembling of Congress in December,
and thence till the adjournment again in the
summer.
We are gratified with this intelligence, for
while we fully believe in the expediency and
wisdom of these summer reconnaissance in an
important section of the Union comparatively
new to General Grant, we also think that the
time has at length come which demands his
presence in Washington. We are strongly
inclined to the opinion, too, that it will not be
long after his return before we shall hear Of
some Cabinet council and decision on the
Cuban question which will electrify the
country, because we think that General Grant
has seen enough and heard enough of public
opinion to be fully convinced that speedy
action and decisive action is his policy in
regard to Cuba.

THE AvoNpALE RELIEF FUND-HERMANN,
THE PREsrIDIGrTArEUR.- Among the subscrip-
tons received yesterday at the HERALD office
for the Avonisle relief fund was one of five
prestidigitateur, Mr.. Hermann being the pro-
ceeds of performance given at the Academy
of Music for this object. A hundred dollars
of this sum was not included in the expenses,
and therefore comes directly out of the pocket
simply as matter of justice to Hermann for
his double generosity, so to say, in giving his
first performance in New York for the Avon
dale widows and orphans and for the sum con-
tributed out of his own pocket.

Workingmen in Politics.

The Workingmen's Union appears, by its
proceedings at the last meeting, to be trenching
on doubtful ground, when its leading members
advocate the establishment of an exclusively
political party. They ought to know that the
rights of the workingmen would be placed in
dangerous hands if they fell into the vortex of
political rings. There can be no doubt that
the working classes have rights and interests
which they are bound to protect, and which
they have right to protect by all wise and
proper means. Yet we can hardly see that
the exercise of their force in the creation of a
the elections for Congress, the Legislature and
other public Offices, as the resolutions and
proceedings of the late convention indi-
cate, would be attended with beneficial re-
suits to the mass of the workingmen. The
workingmen have as much voice as any other
class of citizens in the election of representa-
tive officials. Indeed, they form the mass of
those who exercise the franchise at all our
elections. And while no one will dispute their
right to form a new political organization,
based solely upon the interests of the working
classes, if they so choose, one might question
the prudence of such an undertaking, in view
of the fact that the organization would be very
likely to be used by few of its leaders for
personal objects, aud, indeed, for the matter
of that would stand a fair chance of being
gobbled up, bought over and absorbed by po-
litical organizations which have already learned
by long and keen experience how. to use just
such machine as the workingmen propose to
furnish.
The history of workingmen's unions has
been curious and instructive one. We find
upon studying it, that so long as the leading
minds have kept themselves within the legiti
mate limits and scope of their purposes they
| have effected good deal towards preserving
the integrity Of labor and protecting it from
| the possible usurpations of capital While |
is more or less of delusion to suppose tina
labor and capital are necessarily antagonistic
yet labor, nevertheless, is sensitive upon tina
question, and hedges itself round with trades
unions and workingmen's societies. Thes
organizations, when wisely directed in the In
terest of the workingman, can do no harm
They create an individuality and an indie
pendence which make men feel better an,
stronger; but If they be drivelled out int
mere political party machines it is very ques
tionable whether all their legitimate forces viii
not be vainly expended. The best thing TO
the workingmen to do, then, is to stick to tn
protection Of their own interests and to shu
politics and demagogism.

THE RULING PAssIoN.-It has been funda-
mental lifelong doctrine with the venerable
Thurlow Weed never to lose chance Of wait
ing upon men in high places For instance,
he was prominent among the walters upon
Secretary Boutwell, during his last visit here.
But what for? Has Mr.. Weed any more
lobby axes to grind? We think not; but
habit becomes second nature in man, espe-
cially with an old courtier. Even the old war
horse turned out to grass will prick up his
ears and begin to prance at the sound Of the
trumpet

Anna Dickinson on the Mormons- The Wo
mems Rights Women.

Anna has been out among the MOrmOns.
Only little while ago this lady, in common
with many others, was mere everyday pedler
Of trash about the expressions that women
suffer here in this social paradise of women,
where the sex is emancipated from every disa-
bility and fairly deied in fact as well as fancy.
But Anna has become another sort OF creature,
for suddenly she has found a legitimate and
proper object OF agitation and denunciation in
her favorite style. No doubt the object was
easy to find so far as the knowledge went; but
it was still not an easy journey to go and see
it. Certainly not easy enough to tempt the
languor-loving ladies who dawdle round from
town to town holding conventions and agitat-
ing the woman question. Anna has taken
hold upon the great woman question of the
age, the gigantic disgrace and evil of our
time, and this entities her to rank as an
earnest reformer Of the first order.
Anna travelled, 1t will be remembered, with
Congressman, and she gives an interesting &C
count of the views of these gentlemen. We
trust It is known and noted in their several
districts exactly who these gentlemen were
that made their summer trip across the CONT
nent by way Of Salt Lake, and we hope 1t is
noted in their social circles as well as else
where that they all believe in and uphold
polygamy. No doubt they would like to ex-
tend Its agreeable influences. Their wives, Of
course, are aware Of this, and the wives Of
their constituents ought to be. Anna should
especially direct her efforts to wake them up
and thus make the nrst demonstration Of q
grand anti Mormon campaign. All Other

:, NApOLEoN's EXPERIENCE. Napoleon utters
wise word of warning to Prim in his council
to avoid collision with the United States. He,
despite previous Spanish ownership, can see
no essential difference between Cuba and
Mexico, ard thus views the situation much
more clearly than it is seen from Washington.

readily when our country had just come
through terrible war, how shall Spain stand

RETIoENT RAILROAD CoMPANIEs.-All rail
road companies are reticent when any terrible
disaster, involving serious loss of life or
dangerous mutiIation, occurs. In the late catas-
trophe which happened on the Central road at
Lyons, where fearful collision occurred, dis
abling every passenger coach and injuring
many of the employees and passengers, sit
was impossible to procure the names Of the in
jured parties" says the report, ''because the
railroad authorities are reticent on the sub
ject." There ought to be some way to make
the railroad authorities open their mouths
upon shocking occasions like this. 1t is the
invariable rule with railroad companies to
refuse any information when an accident hap
pens, and to hush the matter up-we fear, too,
I in many cases, with the connivance Of coroners
and juries.

The Other Birds on the Wing.

Following the Presidents example, the
Vice President, the members of the Cabinet
and of both houses, by attachments and in
dividuals, have been extensively on the wing
since the last adjournment of Congress. The
Vice President, with his charming bride, has
been doing the ''tour across the Continent"
from the valley Of the Connecticut to Califor-
MAS matchless valley, domes, cliffs and water
falls of the Yosemite, and this ''happy pair"
have hardly yet turned their faces eastward
Various committees of Congress have been in
speeding the government establishments on the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts and along the great
lakes Some members of both houses have
run over to Europe, and others have been
scouting about at the springs and seaside re-
sorts of our Northern Atlantic States; others
have been exploring the newly discovered
wonders of the great West; but very few of
our federal officials, except those on Southern
duty, have devoted any portion Of the past
summer to explorations in the South.
The idea, no doubt has prevailed that the
South has not yet sufficiently cooled down from
the fiery deluge of the war to be attractive
for summer pleasuring. This is to be regretted;
but still we dare say that with the reassembling
Of Congress- the two houses, President and
Cabinet, from actual observations during the
recess, will be better posted for business than
any Cabinet or Congress since the terrific
continental revulsion of 1861.

SPANS ANswER.-Spain is making great
pother and parade of her purpose to continue
the struggle in Cuba, and that in the bloodiest
style; and as our government cannot suppose
that it is all mere demonstration it must take
her at her word. 1t must recognize Cuba or
put the country before the world as an empty
boaster. We told Spain she had better make
fair terms with the Cubans. Europe has
recognized that the alternative of that hint
was, if you do not make such terms we will
declare her a bellgerent Power What is
SPANS answer? That she means to continue
the war, and she prepares troops and ships.
Thus she defes us to do what we dare. What
dare we do? This is the latest conundrum--
respectfully referred to Mr.. Fish.
