POLITICAL PRospEcTING.-Wi all
this social enjoyment and with due
quantity of legislation, the politicians
find time enough to indulge in President
making. Gen. Grant is still far beyond
any one else on his way again to- the
White House, but there are nevertheless
some who express their doubts as to.his
success. Mr.. Summers course in urging
the enactment Of his Supplementary
Equal Rights bill has made many of the
leading colored people here clamorous
for his election as President, and they
are endeavoring to rally their race at the
South to his support, while some lead
ing Western politicians are making some
demonstrations for him. The free ira
ders, disguised as revenue. reformers, de-
clare their determination to support
Judge Trumbull, and few jealous Re-
publicans talk about Mr.. Greeley as the
best man to be President Gen Will
sons friends are growing more confident
about his chances for the Philadelphia
nomination as Vice President, and they
expect that the coming State Republican
Convention Of Kansas will express a
preference for Grant and Wilson. Mr..
Colfax having again entered the field, is
supported by his hosts Of friends, and it
is said that the Republicans of Indiana
will unite upon him. Pennsylvania
may bring out a candidate, and the
Southerners say that they should not be
ignored. Washington Letter.
The EXTENT OF ENGLAND-Hon.
James Brooks in a letter from Calcutta,
speaks as follows: England, once more,
one everlasting England. That little
sea-girt island has not only girdled the
great isles of the world and put its
stamp upon them. but here am l, in the
portals Of great British East India En-
pire, the very magnitude of which is as
| founding. Think of it, over 100000
900 of people, native and British in the
Indian Government proper, under the
British flag, Satiated with the very
vastness of dominion here, the British
: Crown declines more land, and all the
population it wants-nay, more too, and
refuses, actually, to be bothered with yet
more Think of the revenues and ex-
| ponditures of this British Indian En-
l pire, $3.50, 100000 of our money, in
coming and outgoing, each year. Think
+ of its immense army, 100000 in all, of
; whom 10000 are European soldiers, the
! others, Indians, under British officers,
all Think of Christian Government
over 100000 of Hindoos, 25,000,-
