WHY SCUTRZ OPPOSES GRANT.

The Missouri States Zeitung relates an in
cident which explains the war SchurZ has
made upon Grant. Immediately after Schurz
came to Washington, as Senator, he appeared
at the White House to procure office for his
friends. His 6rst request was that the Office
OF consul at Lyons should be given to Mr..
Linderman, who had aided his election The
President consented to make the change and
sent in the nomination. In the meantime,
Schurzs' friends told him that the name of
Osterhaus was worth more to him than that
of Linderman. Thereupon Schurz waited
upon the President and desired that Under
mans name should be recalled. The NOM
ination had already gone to the country, and
the President said its withdrawal would be an
unjust reflection on Mr.. Linderman. Schnrz
persisted, and finally asserted that Mr.
Linderman would not make a proper rep
resentative of the Government After re.
minding him that the nomination had been
made on his own recommendation, the
President indignant at the Senator's per-
sistence. said he would recall the NOM
nation, but that he could not consent in the
future to consider the Senator's recommend
atoms as conclusive if they were to be subject
to such caprice and vacillation. This is the
deliberate statement of a prominent German
paper in st. Louis where all the parties are
well known, and the story, if untrue would be
promptly refuted. 1t offers sufficient reason
tor the bitterness of Schurz's luminosity TO
Grant and the violence of his baseless and
malicious attacks.

for the army; but which it was alleged he
filled not with actual men but by what is pop
ularly known as ''paper credits" 1t will be
seen that the suit fails, but upon what precise
grounds will not appear until the opinion of
the court is published. But the decision is

Mr.. Greeley's financial policy, should any
reverse Of national fortune place him at the
head of affairs, would startle most business
men. For a long time his watchword, in re-
gard to specie payment, has been, "the way
to resume, Is resume" proposition eminent
ly philosophic in expression, but dangerous
In realization. 1t is likely that his first meas
ure-after, perhaps, general regulation Of
agriculture according to his theories would
be forced resumption Of specie payments,
which would result in general unsettling OF
business affairs, a change in standards of val
Mr.. Greeley, too, has theory Of hts own in
regard to taxation and the payment of the
national debt, which cannot but be interesting
to all moneyed men. Mr.. Greeley said in
June, 1867:
"We believe in taxing so as to pay the debt
in ten years. To do this the national revenue
should be $500, 900 per annum, or the
same as in 1866. Had it been kept there we
might have celebrated our country's centenary
on the 4th day of July. 1876, completely out
of debt And we hold that this might have
been done by taxing With steady purpose to
diminish the number of idlers or uselessly
employed persons, and increase the proper
ton of productive workers, without prejudice
to the national growth or prosperity. Here,
for example, are good many thousands of
our people who have incomes of $4,000 to
Sl,o00,0O0 per annum. Suppose these were
to pay ten per cent. income tax, what Of it?
They will live less sumptuously, or board less
bounteously for few years-that is all.
They will still enjoy every comfort, and will
be growing richer. if they choose"
All men Of means who are in favor of an
income tax Of ten per cent. are requested to
step right up and cast their votes for Horace
Greeley. Don't crowd around the poll
