rate leading article, nominates General
Grant for the Presidency in 1872, aud adds
that, *1If he should consent to ALLOW the use
of his narne for second term, it will be
important that he shall surround himself
by active, energetic, and united counsellors;
by men Of fpolideal influence and character,
who will, jointly and idually, command
the respect and confidence of the Repubi-
can party, both in and out of Congress. A
weak and discordant Cabinet, " it continues,
"must necessarily produce discordant
Congress, and lead to the ultimate failure
Of administration 1neasnres The expert
ence Of I'll Presidents has proved that
unity, harmony, and earnestness in the
Presidential counsels are essential to the
success of the administration.
It has been evident, for a long time, that
General Grants attempt to carry on the
government without Cabinet would be
politically disastrous, whatever might be
its efficiency in the details Of administra-
tlon. At the present stage Of civilization,
no ruler of q constitutional government at
tempts to administer NATIONAL affairs exc1u-
sive1y on the basis Of securing competent
clerks and accountants. Without going
very far for illustrations, let us look at the
recent appointment Of Mr.. Akeman IS
Attorney Genera1 Mr.. Ake1man, We will
assume, is competent to discharge the
routine duties Of the Office to which he has
been appointed. There are q dozen law
yers in every large city in the United States
who are equally competent Yet, in po-
htical point Of view, the selection of Mr..
Akern,an was unfortunate, first because,
being unknown, he did not comnand the
confidence Of the party which is RESPONSE
ble for the administration; second, be-
cause, having voluntarily held commission
in the rebel service, he is offensive, in his
present elevation ut least, to that party.
It is only upon the theory that he is me1e
routine officer that these objections can be
got along with
Il is not TO be supposed that the Presi-
dent desires to destroy the party to which
he owes his own elevation. That he is
weakening il, by attempting to govern with
out Cabinet, is plain to every intelligent

KANSAS POLITICS.
This fall is to decide who shall represent
Kansas both in the House and in the Senate.
Sidney Clarke md Senator Ross reside III the

boost him out and take the seat himself. For

most usnful public man that Kansas ever sent
here. Quiet, but Industrious, proud Of bis un-

There would not have been a doubt Of Ross

"pot guilty" at the tine Of the impeachment
trial. The indicationH arc that thousands of
men in Kansas who we're then excited and na-
hgnant toward Ross now look with admira-
tion upon his vote at that crisis as one OF the
mysterious acts OF quiet life which affect
great occasions. Tho cowardly managers OF
lie impeachment trial did their Test 70 make
somc part Ct Rosa behavior look doubtful,
but niter months Of investigation, they wero
not able to put their hands upon slnslo clr-
cumstance which they could use to his injury !;

from the Senate chamber to his home, and
there devoted himself 10 Lis correspondence
and to public work.
At this distance We begin to SEQ what tho
impeachment trial was-a disappointed politi-
cal party Attempting to give their rage the
force OF constitutional right. But underneath
the positions OF respectable Senators, pro and

D1voRoE DAY.-The 9Th of November
gee memorable day in the Cincinnati
courts-it was "Divorce Day." The
scene is thus descfibeds a.
4 In'the Common Pleas Court, on Tues
day, the divorce docket, oom mprising up
wards of sixty cases, was called. At 8
o'clock tho court room was nearly filled
with women of various degrees of social
position, of oil ages. aud all, lions, ex-
cept the ''hcathen Chinee," soliciting ju-
dical relief for their many grievances
neglect, dcsertion, cruelty and iDfidelity
being among the principal charges made
by the better halves" against their lords.
The number present was swelled enor-
mously by the fact that every woman
who had filed a petition brought on an
average three of her sex along for wit
ncsses. Many, too, brought their bob obies
along, furnishing tho music for the oc-
oasion gratis. In fow cases the hus-
bands we're plaintiffs. 1t appeared to be
general reckoning day oil round for the
violators of the matrimonial contract.
The only cases called were those in which
no answers had been filed to the petit
tions, leaving the immense majority of
cases to be hereafter disposed Of.

During the past summer most of the
crowded streets of London have bcen
watered on alternate days with weak
solution of cnrbolic acid, ns has been the
custom for the last four years, and there
is no doubt that this excellent antiseptic
and disinfectant has been very beneficial
in sanitary point of view. The in
habitants Of those streets have often ex-
pressed satisfaction at tho freshness and
removal of disagreenble smells, which
this acid produces, and they regard it rs
an addition to their comfort.

Gn9 mad gained, and thus bring the situ.
'aki6n back to the condition which existed
assthe moment when the investment oi
Paris was commenced, could only prove
that in Paris they were merely looking
for pretexts to deny the French nation
the right of holding tho election, and
that they we're not willing to give the
people an opportunity to carry the voting
out without interruption.
Influenced by my desire to mako an
other effort to come to an understanding
on some other basis of settlement, NJ.
Theirs had an interview on the line oi
the army outposts with tho members OF
the Paris Government, on the 9Th inst,
so as to propose to then either an armis
tice on the basis of the status in quo fol
shorter period of time than that which
was asked, or the simple convoning OF
the electoral bodies without any trenty
Of armistice. In this instance / said
could guarantee q free admission oi
French voters to Paris, and the granting
of every facility which did not interfere
with our military situation and the safety
of our army.
Regarding the substance of his inter.
view with Messrs. Favre and Troohu, NJ.
Theirs has not given me any approxi-
mate information. He could merely in
form me that the result had been the de.
livery to him of advice to break of ne.
gotiations with his Majesty and to leave
Versailles, since the completion Of an
armistice, including tho right of repro.
visioning Paris, was not to be attained.
Mr.. Theirs return to Tours took place
on the 7th instant, at IN early hour OF
the morning.
The course OF the negotiations with
NJ. Thiers has impressed me with the
conviction that the present rulers OF
Frnnce did not, from tue very beginning,
sincerely wish to hear tho views of the
French nation expressed in q representa-
tive parliamentary body, constituted by
II free and uncontrolled election, and
that just rs little has been their Intention
to bring about On armistice; but that
they stipulated for q concession which
they knew from the first to be unaccept-
able. and that they only asked for these
conditions in order not to give to the
neutral powers, on whose support they
count, direct refusal.
In conclusion, 1 beg to request that
you will express yourself to the Govern
ment to which you are accredited, in ac-
cordance with the contents of this de-
spatch. to tho reading of which to the
Minister Of State for Foreign Affairs you
are duly empowered. Accept, &C.,
