1879. The New Yp,k San, edited by
NJ. D M, Stanton's Assistant Secreta
ry OF War duciug the late uup!c,sant-
ness, thus responded to tho PROPOSE
ton:
Tho idea Of rcnominating Geucral
Grant Is based upon nothing but tn
fast that he controls tho cu,,omhousc,
the internal revenue, the postoflic aud
the other sources of official salaries
aid pvrquisites. If ho were not
l. esident, with such vast array OF
P .ronage ut his command, no man
would wish to make himself .idicu.
bus by nominating him for P.esidcn.
oy. The simple truth is, that there
isno intclligout Republican who re-
CARDS Grant as being, in civil affairs,
"a man of ordiumy common sense
ALI understand that he is fool, aud
Z, that his ~ administration, with its Gis.
tribution Of OFF iJcs in return for pres.
eats, its appointments of his own rcia-
tiuus TO fat salaries without any other
reason than that they belong to tho
Grant family, its utter abandonment
I of the dignity and interests of tho
country in the Cuban question, its
attempt to force through che corrupt
i,b Of the annexation OF ST. Domingo,
| an1 ITS general incapacity, lazintss,
devotion to pleasure, and neglect Of
du y, IS worse than failure; it is
dishonor to tho nation. Gyn, raj
Grant has not to day q real friend
in either House of Congress. There
is not a man there who respects him,
or whose Judgment is Influenced by
his opinions of his wishes. There
are sycophnnts and iiatterurs, mon who
wish to use him and who nominate
him for the Presidency because that is
the most eilicacious way of admins,
tcring to him Tie incense he appre.
cin:es.
Tho Republican party has now
clear opportunity Of carry ing the
, Presidential election of 1872. Tho
barrcnness Of some Democratic lead
dcrs aud the corruption Of others
have put it into the power of the Re
pnhiicans 20 control the Government
for at least another four years. But
THIS is only al opportunity. If they
Improve J. wisely I:"y N ~" tho
President and conl,n., nh III . VA
jori,y 10 Congress but they may also
| vase and throw away their chance,
and this they viii surely do if they
rcnoninstc General Grant There
is littn danger, however that they
| will pursue course % suicidal.
GERMAN FEELING TOWARD En-
0LAND.-A correspondent of the
London Times, writing from Germany

country is October 2G) very hostile
to Eoglund. lie says tho German
public is being prepared for tho OK
hibition of q sill more determined
hostility toward England, and of
friendship towu d Russia, when at the
close Of tho warin France, if not be-
, fDlc, Russia will take from Turkc,
her reward for her present attitude of
neutrality. He asserts that secret
understanding to this effect exists be-
tween Russia and Prussia, and advises
England to make friends with the for
mcr by obiviating a collision on the
Eastern question. 1t was to prevent
Russia joining with England for the
! restoration of peace Oh terms favora.
bic to Ffancc that the understanding
was promoted by Prussia, but tho cor
respondent thinks that it is not Of
such nature us irrevoc4bly to pre-
vent Russia from withdrawing from it.
, In return for certain privileges with.
drawn from hcr in 1865.
