REPUDIATING GRANT.

THE REFORM RANKS,

ANOTHER LIFELONG REPUBLICAN JOINS
THE REFORM RANKS.
Gen. William Birney, of Florida, son of
james q. Birney, the first abolition candi-
date for president, has written a letter in
which he repudiates Grant, and thus gives
his reasons for supporting Greeley
1t is with pain that | take this step. l
have been an active membe of the Re-
publican party since its organization, as l
was of its predecessor, the Liberal party.
l bore arms five years TO support its poll
icy l glory in its proud record of gallant
service to the human race; | entertain a
high respect for Gen. Grant as military
man, and warm personal friendship for
Senator Wilson. But the duty of the
hour / conceive to be to support the old
time republican, Horace Greeley.
The four years rule in Florida Of men
calling themselves republicans has put the
state on the road to ruin, morally, polit-
| ically and financially, and most of the evil
has been done by confedcrated band of
United States officials, who have used their
leisure to devote themselves to the trickery
of state politics, seize on the party ma
chinery, emulate state offices in their
own hands and in those of their degraded
parasites. and form legislative ring to
aid their private speculations. Superb
cial as they are corrupt, they have got the
state finances in hopeless tangle; taxes
are unequal, everywhere oppressive, and
in some counties equal to the annual
rental Of property; delinquent tax col
lectors are not brought to iustlce-in the
only honest effort to prosecute an indict-
ment against member of the ring, a
revenue collector for the state senator, for
embezzlement Of county funds, the state
attorney himself was removed to prevent
his trying the cause. =.
Sound republicans have again and again
brought this state of things to the notice
of the president, who if / am correctly
Informed, has always sheltered himself
under the rights of patronage conceded by
political usages to United States senators.
There would be force in this view if the
president had enforced the rule of
the treasury department forbiddng its
subordinates to hold state offices the sus-
pension of this rule to enable treasury of
iicera in Florida to hold seats IN the legis-
lature is equivalent to intervention in our
senatorial elections by the president The
only hope Of restored prosperity and
morality to Florida, it is clear, lies in the
defeat by the people of the presidents

this is the cordial union of all true men

Mr.. Davis looks younger than he did ten
years ago. We are told that he Is enjoy.

in the parlor Of the Gait House last night
confirmed that repo.t. He is in the sixty

He had a cane in his hand, but it did not

support. His hair is considerably grayed
"a medium iron gray in color-and his
beard is also tolerably white, though
that on his temples is still dark
and apparently but little touched
| by time. He wears full beard, with
closely trimmed mustache, and this, rossi-
bly, aided TO make his face appear round
er and fuller than we have seen IL in a
long time. He is not quite six feet in
height, of slender build, and his carriage
is erect and graceful, his manner kind
and grave, his countenancc placid, and
his tone clear and round and resonant.

| chronological location of the powers of
observation fairly developed, and his
whole appearance, while not impressing
the casual observer with the idea that he
is n man of extraordinary powers, still
bears the stamp of intellect and force
of character. He is not, probably the
man who would be selected by n stranger
from among thousand others ms the
representative of the extraordinary life
which he has led, and the hero Of so many
and such great vicssitudes the engineer
of the greatest revolution, rebellion-call
it what you please-in the annals of his
tory.
As he lett the supper-room at the Gait
House last night, leaning upon the arm of
friend, almost every eye in the throng
followed him. Most of those present
were strangers TO him, and many had
never even seen him before. "And this,
was the mental remark, in satisfied
curiosity and not in disparagement-" ia
the man who stood at the head of the
Southern Confederacy-heldt the fortunes
and fate of millions in his hands-who
welded power against which the tide OF
tremendous war surged for four years in

GRANT AND JACKSON.

GRANT AT A COMMUNICATING AND JACK
son AT A CONFERENCE.
President Grant recently visited q Meth
odist camp-meetiug at Ocean Cove, New
Jersey. He was received with extraordi-
nary attentions. A seat upon the stand usu-
ally reserved exclusively for the minis
ters-the pulpit, in fact-was provided for
him. Before the services began, one Grew
erend doctor asked the audience to rise
in honor of his presence, which was done.
He did not remain to hear the preach
ing, his engagements, as was publicly an
nounced from the stand or pulpit, forbid
ding it
All this is in very striking contrast with
the usuges of primitive Methodism.
Take, for instance the treatment General
jackson once received from old Peter
Cartwrte. 1t happened in Nashville,
Tennessee, during an Annual Conference,
and the incident is thus narrated in the ia
nous Peters Autobiography;

GLOOMY PROSPECTS IN ENG
LAND.
lErnm the \. Y. IIrealC

(From the y. Y. Iircald
We print on another page this morn.
ing letter from the London correspon-
dent of the Herald regarding the gloomy
prospects ahead during the commirg
Winter for the English poor The tele-
grams and mail accounts recently have
spoken of the advance in the price of
fuel. Goal has gon up as the saying
is, and wether the advance In price arises
from a falling of in the yield increased
consumption by the manufactures, or by
reasons of the cont llcts between the miners
and their masters, the fact remains the
same, that coal has enormously risen in
price from the rates chsrged last year.
This of itself would prove hardship,
ESPECIALLY to the poorer classes but then
there are other missfortunes still more
distressing. The potato crop has failed
generally throughout the british Isles.
The accounts from the agricultural dis
triets in the English shires is Of the most
distressing character. "A writer in one of
the agricultural papers of England esti-
mates that 1900 acres OF the potato
crop are all but destroyed, while another
equally good authority declares that he
"hardly ever remembers the malady so
complete" In Ireland and Scotland the
crop is also blghted, possibly not to the
same extent rs in England, but sufiicien-
tly extensive to be severely felt by the
poorer classes in both countries. The foot
and mouth disease among the cattle is an
other cause for alarm. The disease, which
made itself manifest to considerable eX-
tent last year, has now reapeared in still
greater proportions. In Norfolk, in two
weeks, the loss in sheep alone amounted
in value to over one hundred and twelve
thousand dollars. Taking everything in
to consideration, and with these facts be-
fore US, it is evident that the approach of
Winter il regarded with feelings of dread
by the poor, hard worked and i'll paid
mechanics, lsborors and working people Of
England, Ireland and Scotland.
