The Republican Leaders WhO Are
Opposed 20 Gens Grant.


Opposed 70 gen. Grant.
1t would be a. very remarkable
circumstance. if there were not somt
Republican leaders, who were anxi
ous to defeat the nomination o
ten. Grpnt for the next Presiden
tial term. So long as men are am
bitions and aspiring; SO long as
envy, malice and revenge are per
mitted to influence human motives
and prompt human action, 50 long
may such oppositions be expected.
President Lincoln, it will be re-
uembered, was surrounded by quite
number of hostile rivals, both in
lis Cabinet and out, vile endeav-
oral by their intrigues to turn the
popular sentiment lagainst him;
but his diplomatic shrewdness en-
abled him to cireMfvent the whole
Of them. There never has been a
Presidential candidate, for a second
term, in the hiStefy Of the country,
but what las experienced more or
less Of the same kind Of opposition
rivalship, which is pow being used
by ambitious aspirants, or revenge
fur partisans, to supplant or secure
the le.eat Of General Grant. tSslE
ishness, or revenge, isat the bottom
ofthe whole Of the opposition to
Gen. Grant, we most heartily be-
lieye. Lyman T'rumbpll, who, like
Charles Sumner, has, on account Of
lis long service in the United
States Senate, become somewhat
dictatorial and oEerbearing, ia op-
posed to General Grant, because,
since the vote he gave to save An
drew johnson in the Impeachment
trial, lie no longer enjoys the conf
derea ofthe President. Sumner be-
came angry at Grant because Of the
removal Of Motley, as Minister to
Eng!and-the latter having chosen
to take the advice Of Sumner on the
.AlaJamq question, rather than the
instructions Of Secretary Fish.
From that time forward, Sumner
sought opportunity to make him
self as disagreeable to The President
as possible. influenced we verify be-
liere, by petty spirit Of spiteful
revenge, he opposed the Presidents
San Domingo policy, and intensified
the quarrel 50 much between him
self and Secretary Fish, as to COM
pei the Senate to remove him from
the Chairmanship Of the committee
on Foreign Relations, in order that
business might be transacted proper
ly. Because the President had q
mind of his own, and diAnot choose
to follow the dictation Of arrogant
Charles Sumner, the latter is op-
posed to him. Then comes this
man schurz--one of the most bla-
tant, because the most unprin-

ADVANCE IN FLoUR.-The price OF
flour has greatly advanced lately, the fact
being very perceptiblc in the reduced size
of bakers leaves. When flour was sell
ing at forty per cent. less than it now
commands in this market, bakers did not
make any reduction in the price Of their
bread, but quietly reaped the solid benefits
arising, but are not at all backward now in
changing their weights and prices to suit
the tiuctuation. But as flour is again de-
clining, and, owing to the near approach of
harvest, IS likely to continue to decline for
time, we shall see if our bakers exhibit
any sensitiveness to this;fact.
