NOTHING Is moro clear to us than the
decline of the enthusiasm with which the
first announcement Of Mr.. Greeley's nomi-
nation was greeted. The people are every
where taking the sober second thought.
They cannot fail to seethatif Mr.. Greeley is
MT Republican, he is acting a false part,
and is unworthy to be trusted. He claims
to have undergone no change in his political
views. If he has become Democrat il is
a secret conversion. .--
On the other hand, if Mr.. Greeley is still
as sound a Republican as he ever was,
what is to be gained? The Republican
party has put forward candidate as unob-
jectionable as any that we can ever expect
to get nominated by any political party.
General Grant has been tried and found
safe, to say nothing more. He is less a
partisan than any prominent man Of either
party. Despite all the outcry of the igno
rant and prejudiced, and the hired defam-
ers, whose voices and pens are at the dis
posal of everything that pays for throwing
mud, candid men Of all parties have conf
dence in General Grants honesty and pa
triotism. They will be confirmed in this
confidence with every passing day Of the
canvass. .i.'''
The work CT this administration will bear
close examination. We do not claim for it
absolute freedom from error. But we do
boldly claim that no corruption is covered
| up Unprotected by tito shield members Of its
oar, party. We do t,iomphanty challenge
Tie opposition to slo,o single case uhere the
proof Of fraud ca, be obtained against a
Republican oficeholder, and he is retained.
If any Democratic paper will produce the
proof of malfeasance, and the guilty party,
after conviction. is shielded by General
Grant or his Cabinet, we will turn against
his administration, and denounce it before
the whole country. ~ f
Vague and unsubstantiated charges can
not harm us. We are strong and conf
dent because we have good cause, which
cannotlong be hindered by false words nor
talked down by empty defamation. True
to the past traditions and the noblest hopes
of our time, the Republican party will
conquer every opposing faction and lead the
nation forward to the grand future which
its founders dreamed of as possible.

THERE is still some excitement in some
of the cities and towns of Ireland, and also
some apprehension that further riots may
occur between the Catholics and Orange
men. In Drogheda very bad feeling pre-
walls, and the military are held in readiness
for action at moments notice. All is
quiet, however, at Belfast, and it is proba-
BILE that the trouble in that city is ended fol
the present. 1t is estimated that the prop
erty destroyed during the recent riot will
reach in value the sum of fifty thousand
pounds sterling. ,5

SHORTLY after Mr.. Charles Sumner
came out for Greeley, it was announced
that he had taken quarters at the White
Sulphur Springs of Virginia. This an
nouncement, albeit the springs referred to
are the almost exclusive resort of the F. F.
Vs., was not surprising, since the illustr-
Gus Senator, having joined the white man
party, might be expected to require thor
ough bleaching. But he didn't go to the
sulphur springs. He went to his native
heath instead---to bis ever-beloved Boston,
and the chilling GOODNESS Of his reception
there bat doubly demonstrates the unwis-
dom of his choice OF resorts.

In is now surmised that the Geneva
Board of Arbitration will complete its work
by the 18th of next month. An impene-
trable secrecy continues to shroud the
doings Of the court, all the reports sent out
concerning the probable decision to be rem

cess with which journalistic inquisitiveness
is Systematically eluded is really marvel
Gus. The latest important contradiction
and, by the way, we wonder that it is
deemed worth while to contradict any of

WHEN Wellington got back from Wa
terloo, the English people gave him mil
ions of money and a princely estate, in adj
dition to the highest titles Of nobility.
When Admiral Nelson's body was brought
home from Trafalgar, that grateful nation
not only made his relatives rich, but cover
ed them with titles. When Golden had
obtained the repeal Of the corn laws, the
common people Of England presented him
with eS0,000, or about 100000. After
the Franco-Prussian war, the Emperor re-
warded Bismarck with great wealth and
titles of nobility. When General Grant
returned from his campaign, there being no
provision by which he could be rewarded
with public money, q number Of wealthy
men, feeling grateful for the great service
which he had rendered the country, and
the safety which his heroism had afforded
their property. combined and presented
hun with 100000. This is one of Grants
crimes, in the eyes of Schurz & Co. If
General Grant had rendered the same SER
vice to the British or German Govern
ments, he would have been rewarded with
millions and the highest titles of nobility.
