In Wnr and Peace-The Record of President
Grant.
From the New York Standard, June ISL

From the New York Standard, June 1871
Grant as soldier and citizen has won more
victories, has accomplished as much real good.
as any soldier now living AS General he led
the rrandest armies of modern times His sub
ordinate commanders were more brilliant and
able than any of the Marshals of the great Napo-
leon His military triumplls will hardly be sur
passed by any one in the next century. But
great and dazzling and glorious as is his military
career his peace victories seem to us still more
magnificent and enduring. Elected the chief
civil magistrate of forty millions OF people he
promised them peace and has kept his word. lie
pledged economy and pure administration, and
we have both. The vast national debt is melting
| away like the snow in Spring. There is virtue
and honesty in high places. The law is enforced;
| order is maintained. The wounds OF war are all
| but closed The nation is strong abroad and
| still stronger at home. Republican institutions
have been strengthened. The government of
| the people has been tested and proved to be the
best government after all. The London Times
| sees in the confederation of States something
more than mere bubble" The Herald yes
| terday said
| "General Grant, in a word, is the right man in
the right place at this crisis of peace, as he was
| in the crisis of the war. He has certain great
/ objects before him now, as he had them and he
sticks to the great peace idea of settling the debt
| as he stuck TO the grand war idea of capturing
the army of Lee. As all his combinations OF the 1s
/ war near and remote, great and small, were di-
/ rected to the capture of Lees army, 30 now all
| his measures of policy are made subordinate to
the payment of the national debt Upon this
grand idea lis administration il secure, ana Ms
safe and saving policy will command the appro-
val of the country, and the House of kepreson-
tatves so understands it in indorsing him ON the
Cuban question:
Mir. bennett is KEEN shrewd observer of men
and events. With him we believe that President
Grants administration " is secure" and that
his policy "Mi.l command the approval OF the
country'' There is very little doubt that he VIII
be a candidate to reelection. The Democratic
papers say that President Grant could be beaten
tomorrow but we doubt it. What man, what
policy can they offer: Who has done more ore IN
war; Who will have done more in peace Three
wears hence President Grant will be in the posi-
ton to present himself to the country and say:
1. have reduced the national debt $500. .0CO-
| 900.
2. have given you peace.
3. have given you economy and good govern
meiit
| 4 Under my administration the country has
known an unequaled prosperity.
These arc four points with which to appeal
to an intelligent commercial people, and on such
platform there can be little doubt of the result

cursion party gathered at the depot, whence the
train with repeated cheers from its occupants
for the most kind and cordial hospitality Of
their reception, departed about $50 o'clock.
No special incident OCCURRED on the way down.
except a cold water douche bath, which the pas
sages on one side of the train received from the
flowing stream of a water-tank pipe, which after
watering the locomotive, mschievous boy is
said to have opened.
The train arrived in Wilmington about ten
o'clock in the evening, and the general verdict
seemed to be unanimous that the affair had been
amost satisfactory and pleasant one, throughout.
EXCURSION BY STOCKHOLDERS.
We have already mentioned that the excursion
Thursday, was solely under the direction Of the
Board of Trade, and was not the arrangement of
the Railroad Company. The large number OF
stockholders in the road made it impossible to in
clude them all in the affair, however much the
Board of Trade might have desired to do 30. 1t
il therefore suggested that single tickets for
round trip over the road should be issued by the
Company, to the stockholders, SO that they may,
at any time which suits their convenience take
pleasant trip over it. This, it seems to us,would
be very satisfactory arrangement.
THE NEW RoAp--A WORD FROM THE PENINSULA.
The Denton Caroline Co. Union of Thursday
says -
sThe last spike has peen driven in the new
Wilmington and Reading Railroad. The road is
nearly ballasted and ready for the cars, and will
be thrown open to travel III few days. The
Wilmington Board of Trade celebrates the con-
sumation of the work to-day by an excursion
over the road
We have heretofore briefly adverted to the adj
vantages which will inure to the Peninsula, by
the construction of this road; its completion
and operation will show how far we were right
in our prophecies. We imagine it will even ex-
ceed our most sanguine expectations. 1t opens
up country where the products of our cline
cannot be successfully cultivated, and is con-
Meeting link between the Peninsula and the great
West. 1t throws open new markets; brings us
into closer business communion with othercities,
and by the relation it bears to our Peninsula
railroad system infuses new life and energy into
every part of the Peninsula. The coal fields Of
Pennsylvania are within easy access Of our
doors, while immense iron manufactures lie
along and at the terminus of this new road, thus
enabling us to deal direct with the manufac-
turers. With such advantages as these spread
out before us, who will controyert the future
usefulness of the road in developing the re-
sourses of our beautiful Peninsula? 1t benefits
not only Wilmington city but the entire Penin-
sula, and is one more cord which binds in sympa-
thetic harmony section whose interests and
natural boundaries are identical, but which is
separated by the false idea of State pride and
ancient custom

TRUE LOVE.

! think true love Is never blind,
But rather brings an added light;
An inner vision quick to find
The beauties hid from common sight.
No soul can ever clearly see
Another's highest, noblest part
Save through the sweet philosophy
And loving wisdom Of the heart.
Your unanointed eyes shall fall
ON him who fills my soul with light;
You do not see my friend at all,
You see what hides him from your sight.
see the feet that fain would climb,
You, but the steps that turn astray;
l see the soul, unharmed, sublime;
You, but the garment, and the clay.
You see mortal, weak, mlsled,
Dwarfed ever by the earthly clod;
see how manhood, perfected,
May reach the stature Of god.
Blinded stood, as now you stand,
Till on mine eyes, with touches sweet,
Love, the deliverer, laid his hand,
And 10! worship at his feet!

The Cincinnati Chronicle thinks the religion of
Charles Dickens, like that of Abraham Lincoln,
is likely to be subject for newspaper discus
sion for some time to come. In his American
Notes." Mr.. Dickens expressed high appreciation
of Rev. DIR. William Ellery Charming, and his
admiration for the Transcendentalsts, saying
that if he lived in Massachusetts he should be
one of them. 1t has been stated, and we be-

his books which imply the contrary. 1t is cer-

The Gazette has predisposition toward un-
truthfulness with which it is quite unable to
successfully contend. Thus, speaking of the
Chicago resolution, Of 1868, which in reference
to suffrage, declared that in the loyal States the
question should be left to the States, individual
ly, the Gazette says
"If we remember Alright, this last sentiment
furnished the Commercial at that time with edi-
torial comment for month, and no party journ-
al was more blatant in praising this Justice tow
ard the States, and lauding the magnanimity OF
the Radical party"
We will charge to deficient memory the fact
that this is utterlyuntrue. The COMMERCIAL never
even tacitly acquiesced in the Chicago suffrage
resolution, but dsapproved it, from the first, and
our readers well remember that we did 30. Our
disapproval was expressed day or two after the
Convention, in the plainest and most positive
TERMS 30 that the statement which we quote
from the Gazette is untrue from beginning to

The Denton, Md Union, one Of the most cou-
rageous and earnest Republican newspapers
published on the Eastern Shore, speaks as fol-
lows of the Republican nominations in this
State -
The Delaware State Convention, which assem-
bled at Dover, on Thursday last, nominated
Thomas B. Coursey, of Kent county, for Cover
nor, and Joshua 4. Heald Of Wilmington, for
Congress. In the selection of these gentlemen
the Republicans Of Delaware have done well, for
they are universally popular-men Of talent, and
eminently qualified to fill the positions for which
they have been nominated. With careful can
yass, vigorous effort, and full determination
to win, tile Republicans of Delaware will be able
to overthrow the vampires who are sucking the
iife's blood out of the State, depicting the
treasury, piling up the taxes, and clipping the
energies Of the people. Let them, then, so to
work in earnest, and strain every nerve to place
Coursey in the gubernatorial chair. II they fail
in this canvass the State is hopelessly lost, and
the family misrule continued for an indefinite

The laws of this State compel people to pay
license tax OH getting married, and as there are
many worthy, but not over rich young people
who do not care to have such an unnecessary i'm
post extorted from them, they naturally go over
the line to be united by the Pennsylvania
ministers. Meanwhile our shepherds lose
the welcome addition to their salaries,
as well as that sympathetic acquaintance
with the young families thus launched into life
which would give to their guidance and oversight,
in the future, additional strength and control.

The retirement of L. lockwood Hoar from
the Cabinet will be surprise to no one. He
had repeatedly sgnifed his intention of resigning
within the last two or three months, and his re-
tention of office was merely in Difference to the
wishes of the President. Mr.. Hoar had not been
popular Attorney-G General, and in saying
this we perhaps bestow on him the highest
praise. No man took less pains to win the
huzza of the multitude. To the politicians
he was particularly offensive He admin
istered the affairs of his office solely with an
eyeto the public good, and was impoltic enough
to personally offend many gentlemen whose
support lie subsequently sorely needed. But no
one will deny that his administration has been
pure and above suspicion. A man Of singular
integrity and pre-eminent ability, President
and ablest advisers.
