A Greeley Organ ON Capitalization.
From tie Cincinnati Commercial. ]


Governor Hoffman, of New York, is
troubled about the "centralization'' of the
government under Grant. The truth is,
Grant has had about as much to do with it
as bump on log. Then there is no
occasion to be scared about Capitalization.
The power of the President is not likely
to be decreased under future Administers
tons, nor is it desirable that it should be.
If ''great American statesman" has
nothing better to say now a-days than that
our liberties are in peril from Capitalization,
he should do himself the justice to remain
silent. It is our Judgment that there has
been too much scatteration rather than
Capitalization under Grant.
Instead of concentrating the government,
he has put himself and his personal staff
(so-called Cabinet in Pullman Palace
sleeping car circulation; and it is the dis
tinguishing merit of the Grant Administers
ton that It proves the capacity of the Exc
cutivc Department of the Government to
run itself. A newspaper that, upon occa-
sion, edits itself and comes out full Of good
things in spite of strikes and sprees, and,
indeed, Of everybody, is success and
established and the smooth running
machinery, and steady progress of the
country since the death Of Abraham LIN
coin, is the strongest testimony ever fur
nished that the American Republic, since
State sovereignty was put to the sword, Is
the most perfect political apparatus in the
world.

The scandal About Gifts.

What is there, then--I enquire that
may save time--what is there that the
Administration has done that it ought not
to have done? What has it left undone
that it should have Done? "Oh, the Pr.si-
dent has taken gifts" No, he has not.
President Grant never accepted gift from
any man, never!
Never since he was nominated the first
time as President. He is the only Presl-
dent in forty years who refused to take
gifts who refused carriage and horses.
Only one other President has done it in
forty years. Mr.. Lincoln accepted carriage
and horses. So did Mr.. Buchanan. So
did Mr.. Pierce. So did Polk. So did
John Tyler. So did General Taylor. So
did Harrison. So did Van Buren,.
1t was offered to Grant and he refused 1t.
And never has he accepted any present

Pennsylvania.

The approaching State election in Penn
sylvania will afford no fair test of the rela-
tive strength of Democrats and Republicans
on the Presidential issue. The local dis
affections, to which we are accustomed in
this State, are trivial compared with those
which now exist in Pennsylvania. The poll.
ticiaus are at skies and seyens, and cries Of
Rings" resound from one end of the State
to the other. 1t is admitted, however, that
the greater part of the Republicans who are
opposed to Gen. Hartranft are in favor of
General Grant. This is the case with Col.
Forney, and there is no reason to suppose
that it is not the case with Governor Cur
tin. AT any rate, Mr.. Curtin, while wri-
ting letter for the purpose of weakening
Hartranft, was almost painfully anxious to
avoid indorsing" Greeley. The anti
Hartranft Republicans declare that they
will support the Republican Presidential
ticket, and, therefore, there is little in the
opposition to Hartranft to give encour-
agement to Greeley's iaction.--Nep York

The Rev. j. w. Logan, whose death
at Saratoga was announced yesterday, was
one of the six bishops of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church. Bishop Logan
was born in North Carolina about the year
1910, of slave parents. He ran away from
his master to Canada when about twenty
years old, and during the anti-slavery
agitation, labored with Gerrit Smith,
Lewis Tappan, Peter Putnam and other
philanthropists in aiding slaves to escape to
Canada. Meanwhile he was converted,
and by hard work became ready and in.

years ago, was made Bishop. He had
lived in Syracuse for the last twenty-five
years. Ills wife was dead, but he left
