THE PRESIDENCY.-Since the Trl-
bune is charged with concealed I'M
friendlinessr t President Grant, it Is
clear that we need not defend 1t from
anv possible imputation of servliIty
or sycophancv. And it is certainly
rue that we are not seeking the re-
election of General Grant as President.
Should he be the Republican candi-
date we shall of course support nm
to the best of our ability; but pending
the nomination we may be charged
with ..unfriendliness' to running him
or any other man for President while
he yields the vast patronage OF h Il
high office. We ardently desire to see
the principles established that a Presi-
dent shah have no aspirations except
to serve the country eminently, and
win thereby a lasting and enviabIe
renown. S. much tor the ''untriend-
liness;" but how Is to the ICON
cealed?" We have talked i'll this
fashion to all who would hear us for
months; we should have written 1t
ere now if we had not been anxious to
postpone all discussion concerning the
next Presidency till next Winter. BE
it understood, then, 10Y and ever
more, that what the Springfield he
publican terms our "unfriendlineSS"
to Gen. Grant is. at all events. not
''concealed."-[New York Tribune,

Il consider it one of the most press
inc needs of our day that we should
return to the sound practice OF consti-
tutional government. The safeguards
of Il common rights and liberties
contained in the constitution are too
sacred and valuable a boon to he per
manently .ieopardizedin providing for

the American people open their eyes
to the dangerous character OF this ten
dency. and that neither Il great name
nor an Object appealing to IL sympa-

it. As for me, | have seen the work

shall struggle to the last gasp against
its introduction here."-[Carl Schurz,

Smith had been a very quiet man, and

WHAT BULLOCK A

The Atlanta correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial reports an i'll
terview recently held with the Radical
carpet-bag Governor of Georgia, in
which even that functionary con-
demned in unguarded terms the infa-
nous Force Act recently passed by
Congress. OF course Bullock does
not object to the Act on account of its
unconstitutional and tyrannical char
acter, but simply because he thinks its
effect will be to strengthen rather than
to crush out the conservative party of
the South. Being asked by the cor
respondent what he thought of the
Act, Bullock replied that he consid-
cred it ~ farce and a humbug. Con-
greSS seems TO have eXerted itself to
get it up in such shape as to be a pow
erful campaign document in the hanlS
of the Democracy, without doing the
ku kiuX much harm. They will
never catch a half dozen with it. It's
not the thing wanted at all. 1t is an
ill-timed, bungling piece of business.
For instance, it appiie>to Georgia, n
I'm certain we don't need or want it
here. 1t will furnish the Democracy
an excellent campaign document, even
better than the Broadhea1 letter fur
ni>hel lis in 1865. and do no good
whatever. There are just two ways to
deal with the ku kluN-let them alone,
and leave the evils to be corrected by
an enlightened public sentiment, or
pass a ku kluN bill that amounts to
something" The correspondent said,
You don't need any ku KluN bill in
Georgia. then?" Bullock replied: NO
more than what we have got. That
thing passed by Congress will amount
to nothing here or elsewhere, except
to furnish Il campaign document to
the democracy. They were hard up
for something of the sort, and it came
in good time. \ law is wanted that
will strike home to the mark where the
ku kluX actually exist and not a gen
eral piece of patchwork that will do
no good anywhere. In this State |
am satisfied we need no ku KluX bill
at present. | am glad to notice a
healthy public sentiment growing up
here which will frown them down.
Why, up in ChattoOga county, not
long ago. two of them We're actually
caught by the civil authorities, tried
and sentenced to twenty years i'll the
p~enitentiarv. Since then there has
been no more Ku kluX iuthat county.
That i the way to deal with them.
Some of the best citizens Ofthe comfy
We're on that jury, and since the SEN
tence there has been no petition for
pardon. I call that a healthy sign"

THE DETECTION IF CEIME.-A plan
has recently been proposed by the
Chief of Police of st. Louis. Mo. 1Or
the more efficient detection of crime.
He suggests that the heads of the po-
lice force in every city Of the United
States. and their chief assistants,
should hold a convention for the pur-
pose of consulting together. and of
adopting Il code of rules and regula-
tons whereby the whole detective
force of the country could act i'll har-
mony for the prevention and detection
OF crime. 1t j, argued that the detect
i've force OF the cities should form a
chain of rapid communication by ci-
pher, and should act hya we'll defined
rule. The organization, it is believed.
would constitute Il network OF swift
intelligence and prompt performance
through which the criminal could not
succeed i'll breaking. This important
result. it is stated. cannot be attained
