LONDON, June 12.- English papers have
found IN the Grant Convention another suitable oppor
tuuity for discussing American politics. Though they
arc NOT "a rule, remarkable for scizing the drHt ol
affairs putting the right Interpretation on parueu-
lar event some them clearly enough the character
of the performance al Philadelphia. "Tle delegates"
save The Manchester GUdrd0H, "wore all sent up with
ono simple order-vote for the denomination of Gen.
Grant Diversity Of opinion completely provided
against" So The Morning Post LOndOn) says: The Re
publican Convention at Philadelphia accomplished the
work for which II ordained by renom-
Mating Mr. Grant for the Preside ncy" The
7ipes eustaius It's old reputation for perverse
views ON American questions in leading article
elaboratcly wrong, published this morning 10
cannot believe that the American people really dislike
corrup administration and really desire one that shal
he pure and capable "Gen' Grants negligence care
lrssrcss and pOtsm may" remarks The Times have
bcn m aasraut and as unconscentiOus his opponents
assert but is the moral OF the nation strung
high as 20 see n char ges like these conclusive reason
Tor discharging him from his Officer You will note the
word discharge. The idea Of constitutional term does
not seem 10 accepted by The Times President is,
IN ITS view IKE an English Prime Minister entitled 70
bold on ID hc is turned out for positive Ofense;
AMI the presumption is in favor Of his continuance IN
Once unless ne be proved guilty Of malversation
Tnat is the view which OF reading Grant organs.
The Times has not yet got beyond the "farcca" idea
oi Mr.. Greeley's nomination. His qualifications, thinks
leading journal, can scarcely be seriously discussed
Tic last IL heard him that like Gen. Washing
to speak Of other heroes nearer hoe his favor
is cutting down trees his farm at Chap
paqua" 10 wiz be news 70 most Americans that Wash
inaton had a farm at Chappaqua, and spent his time
t.TrrV VIaT Z. ra.ftn have
uIore.s WasIngton's canddature also not 70 DE
SOP l.ly Ci-eUssot-any more than LneOE's also in
f1 or tIc platforms they equally unworthy
60! ~ rlOu consideration Their difference Of principles
d" is an but microscopic" An Engshm1n can no moro
tolerate gcucralizations in foreign than in domestic
politics, and The Times characteristic ally despses de-
runcls OF wrong in the abstract" Il reasserts that
tnc cry from Cincinnati for Civil Service Reform
lte nothing because the L!te al Republicans
nominated Mr.. Greeley, and Mr. Cred ", up 10 the
OF his selection, had treated the whole movement
with couteuut;" while even now he appears TO think
nothing need he done but abolish The eligibility Of
President for reelection" We supposed England had
herself done something in the way Civil Service Re
form by establishing the competitive system hut 10 was
apparently against the opinion Of Tie Times for how il
low asks, candidate for the Presidency put for
ward principle which would deny him the power OF
recognizing the merits Of an his friends % II is not
roI;cu' with the concession 10 the Free Traders in
,oieed i'm lr Greeeys agreement TO remit the question
az Protection 10 the people, for this would be 10 abdi
cae thc duties imposed upon him by the Constitution,
siud leave his veto unnsed" II is well known Gn Tie
Is.es ofccl that the Constitution requires the PTes
-leHt 10 veto an bills passed by Congress- and
fha. bill unless first vetoed become a law
Jae proper way 10 meet this difficulty would be
adopt uu amendment that bill Tariff other, shall
~ the President tll IL has been approved by
The Times on the whole, II the contest 10 be between
presidcot Giant and Mr. Greeley, it believes "the
fuajoy Of the Union" will rcgect the former and for
This proouud reason that IL IS better TO endure the
shorcOungs Of the President they have than 10 run the
gis Of the freaks OF his rival better endure the ills
e have than ny others that we know not Of Our
utor thiuk the modest patriotism sound
