Where are those who were leaders in
our politics twenty years ago-the Pre-
sidents, Cabinet Officers, Senators,
Governors, Ministers-the budding and
ripened statesmen? All long since
gone to flower and seed-their fame,
ashes; their power vanished into the
mists. Gen. Grant is the tenth Presi-
dent The Tribune has known! Ten
Presidents-seven full Administrations,
and two wars, and great renown and
pageantry, and endless companies OF
great statesmen! All so many ghosts
to day-and occasionally rusty ex-
President, or forgotten Senator, or neg
lected Minister (no longer extraordin-
airy or plenipotentiary) elbows his way
up broadway unknown even to the po-
licemen. Yet such influence as The
Tribune may possess-its power for
good or evil-remsins with it-greater,
we think, than it was under Polk or
Pierce or Johnsou-still to be with it,
we trust, when this Administration
Joins The ghosts OF its predecessors. and
Gen, Grant is crowded from his seat by
some ''indispensable" warrior or states
man. We sometimes feel like Hamlet
when he walked among the graves and
the bones of the dead men, We find
the skulls of lawyers, and no more
quiddits and outlets, and buyers OF
land with their pates full of fine dirt,
and politicians no longer over-reachtng
even Alexander stopping. bung-
hole-"1mperial Cesar. "deadiand turn
ed to clay"
IfGen. Grant can get along without
the newspaper editors, they certainly
can get along without him. No num-
Der of editorial appointments could
change the relations of the independ-
ent Press toward his Administration,
or any Administration. The PRESS
will support him when right and OPP
pose him when wrong; and whether he
appoints one editor or hundred, 1t
will do the same. He found it SO when
he was soldier without an oflge in
his gift; he will find it 50 with fifty
thousand Offices. The Press is too pow,
erful, too great, too widespread and
commanding in its influence, to be af-
fected by Government patronage, An
not be worth the purchase. The Presi.
dent can always command the supper
of the Press by deserving its support

ago the question of negro suffrage was made
distinct issue in that State and was defeated,
and the Democrats nearly got possession of it
thereby. They elected a majority of the Leg
islature and came very near electing the Gov
ernor. Governor Hayes was elected by the
Republicans by only little over 1000 majority.
AS result of that election the Amendment
was defeated. Now, however, after two years
reflection, the same issue at a similar election
is decided in favor of the Republicans They
have elected majority of the Legislature,
whereby they insure the ratification of the
Amendment, and have increased their Govern
or's majority to nearly 5000. ~
From this we may draw the conclusion that
the principles of the Republican party are still
fully sustained by the people-as fully as they
were year ago. 1t does. not appear that they
are tired of Radical misrule,' about whicl
our Democratic friends have so much to say
or if they are it shows that they had rathe

SUIT AGAINST THE p, w. & B. r. r. Co.
On the morning of the flood gentleman
purchased an excursion ticket to Philadel phia,
but as the trains did not run the ticket was not
used. A few days afterwards in going to
Philadelphia he presented it to the conductor,
who refused to take it and demanded pay. A
dispute arose between the parties, and it is
said the conductor either put him off the train
or attempted to do so, and in the scuthe the
clothes of the passenger were damaged. On
his return home he employed counsel and in
Stituted suit against the company tor damages.
Subsequently, however, at the suggestion OF
his counsel, he withdrew the suit, and went to
the ticket Office and asked to have the price oil
the ticket returned to him. This request be-
ing refused, he again entered suit against the
company. A few days since he was waited
upon and informed if he would withdraw the
suit all reasonable damages would be allowed
him, and that the conductor would make {
suitable apology This he refused to do, and
we presume the case will come before the mex
term of our county court Gazette.
! The GG3ette has since made another state
ment. The man bought the excursion ticket
went upCn the cars and came down ON the boat
He subsequently, came down on the cars an,
offered the ticket but the conductor refus
ed it because excursion tickets are good Onl
for one day. So the man had to pay the fare
The company have offered to refund him tn
fare, but having put the matter in the powe
of the law he will abide by the consequences
which it is thonght will be against him. 1t
denied that any abuse was given the man.

ELECTION FRAUDS. s.-The election in Phia-
delphia year ago was generally believed to
have been fraudulent by all parties, and steps
fhr contesting it were Immediately taken by the
Union League of that city before the Court of
Common Pleas. The Court has just come to
decision, by declaring the election of every
Democratic officer illegal but Mayor Fox, and
have awarded the certificates of election to the
Republican contestants. We learn from Judge
Brewster's opinion in the case that the Court
threw out entirely the returns from seven
different divisions. OF these divisions four
were thrown out at the prayer of the contest
ants, and were Democratic. The other three
were thrown out at the prayer OF the respond
ents, and were Republican. In throwing out
the returns from these divisions three of the
Judges of the Court oncurred-Allison, Brew
ster and Peirce. The position assumed in the
opinion of the Court, as delivered by Judge
Brewster, is that the election in these divisions
was conducted by the officers with an entire
disregard of law, SO that no one could tell who,
by the true vote, was elected. In support OF
this position the facts in evidence cited were
the receiving Of votes in great haste, without
seeing or enquiring who the pretended voter
was; allowing strangers to vote as residents
keeping back the election books from the
officers violence to citizens protesting against
fraud threats against legal voters, deterring
them from casting their ballots allowing ma
turalized citizens to vote without the produc
ton of naturalization papers or tax receipts

The LOUISVILLE COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
AT the Southern Commercial Convention in
Louisville on Thursday, James w. Gasley, of
Virginia, Chairman of the Committee on I'm
migration, presented a report, in which he
traced the relative advantages of immigration
to the North and South. He attributed the
decline of immigration in the South to the Eu-
ropean ignorance Of the resources, soil, and eli
mate of the South. The removal of these
errors and prejudces was necessary, and most
of the Southern States have agents in Europe,
whose services in disseminating correct infor-
nation could scarcely fail to turn the tide of
immigration to the South. The Committee
propose that the Convention appoint General
Agent of Immi grafton; that the States be re
quested to appropriate a sum to be placed In
the hands of the General Agent, to be used in
preparing, publishing, transating, and crcu-
lating gratutiously among the emigrating class
es report showing the physical geography of
the States adopting this plan their industrial
resources, the special advantages which they
offer the immigrant, and other necessary in
formation. In reference to coOlie labor, the
committee said the importation of Cinnamon
and other Asiatic labor does not require the
means suggested in the report. That could be
accomplished by separate State and private
organizations. - ... .... .-..... .r,
The Committee on Banking presented re-
port in favor OF free banking law, with
proviso that currency is to be issued only as
fast as the legal-tender notes are redeemed and
destroyed, until specie payments are restored.
resolution was also presented, deprecating
the interference of, Government with the
money market and business affairs of the peo-
pie. During the afternoon grand trade pro-
cession, nine miles long, took place. Business
was generally suspended, and the greatest en-
thusiasm was manifested. : ...-..- F.

THE LATE ELEcu0Ns. The late elections

that the fifteenth amendment, interdicting the

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. Now that
the Ohio Legislature has been conceded to the
Republicans, the Fifteenth Amendment has,
for the hundredth time, become a matter of
speculation. And it is now generally conceded
that it will prove a success. To sum the mat
ter up briefly the points are these 1t takes a
majority of three-fourths Of the States to rati
fly it. Twenty of this number have been Sc
cured, leaving eight to be obtained. Missis
sippi and Texas are required to ratify a, a
condition of reconstruction, and Iowa, Mime
sofa, Nebraska Rhode Island and Vermont are
c.rtain, which will make in all twenty seven
sure Ohio will make the twenty-eighth.
And should Ohio fail it is thought Georgia Oh
Alabama can be obtained, as they already
have negro suffrage established, and have nj
object in opposing the amendment
