DE mocratic Candidates for the Presi-
dency-The Ordeal they must Pass.

II IL not unnatural that the Democracy
should be casting around for leader to carry
their banner in the Presidential contest OF
1872 for the Generalization which Gen.
GRANTS administration is diffusing through
The ranks Of the Republicans gives the Dc
nocracy more reasonable hope Of success
han they have had since the FREMONT cam
paign fourteen years ago.
TO afford solid grounds for success, the
Democratic candidate must combine in his
politcal life, character, and creed, three ele-
ments. He must have good record in re-
tpect 10 the late rebellion, or he cannot make
an inroad upon the Republican States in the
North. At tho very least, he must not have
taken an active part against the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, and
the policy in which they originated. If he
has he cannot carry a sufficient number Of
The Southern States TO bring his election
within the range of probability. He must
be man of large and generous views, de-
voted to progress, and no fossil, or he will
fail TO draw to his support the yonng men OF
the country, who are imbued with the liberal
spirit of the times.
Unless Gen. GRANT shall continue to pur.
sue n course which must end in such an utter
ruin of the Republican party that not even
The refusal to renomnate him can restore its
won.ed vigor no Democratic candidate who
does not possess each Of the three qualifca'
tons we have mentioned can hope to enter
he White House. We believe, moreover,
The rank aad file of the Democracy will
rigidly apply these tests in advance of nom
Ination, and will not allow any aspirant fol
Presidential honors who is unable TO stand
these tests to be even seriously talked Of q,
n candidate They will whistle him down
the wind and scout his pretensions with
scorn long before the campaign opens. The
sensible men of the party well know that II
cannot survive defeat in four successive Presi
dental struggles; and they will not ACCORD
the first place on their ticket in 1872 TO 1
man who can only repeat the disasters o
1860, 1864, and 1868.
The rigid enforcement Of these ideas vii
Of course exclude from the field Of competi

and the sooner they retire from the ground

The Farnsworth and Butler Contro-
VcrsY.


Mr.. FARSswoRTu of Illinois yesterday
protested in the House of Representatives
against Gen. BUFFERS advocating the pas
sage of the Rollin White Patent bill over
the Presidents veto. The ground of the OBJ
lection was that BUTLER had received fee
Of 81, 900 from the parties to be benefited
by the passage of the bill.
This was valid point, and Gen. BUTLER
would have done we'll If he had admitted its
force, and retired from all further connection
with the patent. Instead Of this, however,
he assailed Gen FARNswoRTH with personal
abuse, to which that gentleman rep lied with
vigor and effect.
In the interest which always attends such
q dispute between members of Congress. we
trust that the main point will not be lost
out of view. Gen. FARNswoRTH was entire
ly in the right and Gen. BUTLER entirely in
the wrong upon this subject. No Represen'
tative or Senator who has received II counsel
fee from any party can with propriety speak
OF vote in favor Of that party upon the sub
ieet in connection with which the fee was
paid him 1t ought not TO be necessary tC
enact 30 palpable and unquestionable 4
principle as this into law; but when mel
like Gen. BUTLER become members Of Con
gress, they must be put under restraint
that are NOT necessary with gentlemen o
more delicate and scrupulous moral const
tuition.

In his message against the bill granting
additional aid to the Boston, Hartford and Erie
Railroad, Gov. CHAPLIN Of Massachusetts says
that whatever might be the benefits to be ex-
pected from completing the road, "they are not
TO be counted for moment if the State is TO be
disgraced by silent acquescence in the course Of
deception peculation, and fraud practised by the
managers of the Company"
This is sound, and does equal honor to the
head and heart Of its author. But what would
Gov. CHAPLIN say if one Of the highest officers Of
Massachusetts, had been proved by legislative in
quiry to have been guilty of deception, pecula-
ton, and fraud " in connection with the Boston,
Hartford and Erie swindlcY Would he not at

and patience. Great credit should also be award
cd 10 Senator CoNkLrxe Of New York for the
trcncbsnt and conclusive manner in which he
supported the bill and exposed the wiles Of its
antagonists. II is estimated that the abolition Of
the ranking privilege would produce saving Of
FIVE millions year and it was stated in the de-
bate that the adoption Of Mr.. SuxSERs one-cent
rate of postage would impose upon the Treasury
the necessity Of paying ten millions year to
make up the deficiency in the Post Office Depart
meut.
The friends Of the bill which has thus been de-
feated ought not to be disheortened by this tenn
porary reverse. The strength which their ia
vorte measure has shown in Congress is much
greater than was expected, and there is no reason
TO doubt that at the next trial IL will prevail.

We take the following statement from the
HorLi of yesterday:


THE willingness OF Mr. GRANT to aeceptpresent.,
and his nauseous habit Of bestowing onice upon his
family relations are facts admitted though condone
by his most parasitcal friends among the RADICAL
ne spapers What excuse will these invent for Mr..
grants request. and Mr.. CREswELL's consent TO
crafty II, that Gen. HoAcE PORTER, Gen. FRED. I.
Dent, and Gen. ORvILLE & BABoocK, the Presi
dents military secretaries, should be appointed
70 the sinecure positions of mail agents. for no other
purpose than that those gentlemen might travel
free Of charge all railways which carry the United
States mallsi Is not this q 'sponging Admin =
trationf
We do not know that these allegations are er-
roneous, but there is fact which makes them
seem somewhat improbable. Gen. Porter, Gen.
DENT, and Gen. BABcocK are officers Of the army,
and when travelling under orders are entitled to
the regular rates Of mileage, which are more than
suff Client to cover the cost of railway tickets.
Whenever they are sent upon public business
there can, Of course, be little difficulty in issuing
to them such military documents as would give
them the right to receive their mileage from any
Quartermaster. This being the case, why should
they be appointed TO the nominal Office Of mail
agents, and thus be converted into deadheads
