concluding paragraph: '"There are

har been for half a generation the
main abstacle to all good govern

would be no difficulty in organizing
such a canvass; and reform would
run through the land as watchword

persists in remaining that democrat

them as tools to get the control OF

to the Democrats that their party has

upon the surrounding States for its
members, was able to get together

delegates to Cincinnati was q total
failure. The liberals have doubtless

Gan Francisco, Cal, March s, 1870
Mr. John Taylor, Jr.
DEAR SIR-I have received your
tive letters dated Oct. 9th, 1869, and
Feb 1st, 1870 I did not reply, to
the first because it only reached me
some time after my return to this
plabe. In reply to the political por-
tion of the second, I again assure you,
in all sincerity, that I have no ambit-
ion in the direction of the Presidency
and therefore, shall not allow my
name to go before the people as can
didate for that Office in 1872. or at any
SUBSEQUENT date, while there are many
able statesmen in political life to be
drawn upon. And it is not rather
early to begin to look up another Re-
publican candidate for the next Pres
idential term? Grant is still young
has not, as yet, committed and serious
mistake, and if he continues steadfast
to the principles enunciated in his in
ougural will be entitled to the second
term, or at least to the. nomination,
as as an expression of the appropria-
ton of the party for his past services.
My life for the last thirty years
hass been passed in the military SER
vice. During that time have squir-
ed tastes and opinions respecting pub
lie duties and responsibilities which
do not harmonize with the prevailing
ideas of the present day. could
not, therefore, hope to meet with
such encouragement from the people
as the Executive of the United States
must have to assure a successful ad-
ministration and the consequent pros
perity and an advancementtof the ma
ton.
My services are now, as they have
always been, subject to call of the
Government in whatever military ca
pacity 1 may be considered compe-
tent and worthy to fitl, and will be
cordially undeg gtaken whenever called
upon to render. All civil honors and
duties I s!,all continue to decline.
Respectful and truly yours,

Grants Position on the Presiden-
tial Question.
The Washington Republican, of
the 22d inst. says Editorially:
president GRANTS position on the
subject of the nomination for the
presidency. as well as for the vice
presidency, is this: He has never ask
ed any one to vote for his own re-
nomination, or in the slightest way to
work for it. He feels that it is for
the people, though their Representa-
tives in the national conventions as
sembled, to say who shall or who
shall not be their standard bearers. If
they decide that he is the man who
of all other men ought to lead them
in the campaign, whose shadow is all
ready on us, as they decided during
the rebellion, and after when the re
bellion came to an end, very good.
He will accept the responsibility and
duty to wdich he has called. Ifnot,
he will stand by the party and Its Or
ganization all the same. If he is re-
nominated, and had the choice of a
candidate with him on the ticket, he
would probably select Mr.. Colfax.
their relations have always been, as
our Indiana contemporary says, of
the most agreeable character. Mr..
Colfav has never interfered in an way
with the executive in the difficult and
thanklesf matter of the appointments
and patronage. He has not. as other
Vice Presidents have done osked to
be allowed any voice in the selection
of appointments, even to the reward
Of his own friends, and if renomina-
ted and re elected, would probably
maintain the same course in the fu-

rHEaARMs", s",INVEsTIGATION


The "Sale of Arms" assault is the
most discreditable affair OF the many
such in which the opponents of the
Administration have been engaged.
1t was pure demagogism, with no
semblance of craftsmanship in the
thing from the beginning to the end.
1t was an attempt to influence Ger
man prejudices agsinst the Admins
tration without any apequate cause for
so doing. The ''lifting of the veir'
from what was alleged to be most
fragrant violation of neutrality, and a
still more hcinous peice of corruption,
has proved to be just piece of con-
temptible political tickery. The
Chicago Post sums up the results of
the investigation III concise monner,
thus:
1. 1t is shown that the act of Con-
gress approvec July 90, 1868, author
lied the sale Of sold CANNON, arms,
! and other ordnance stores" which
were damaged or otherwise unsuita-
| BILE.
2 1t is shown that under this act,
stores to the amount of $10,000,00O
were sold 10 Tom, Dick and Harry,
whoever wished to buy, excepting
| agents of nations at war.
1t is shown that all of this money
has bee properly paid into the treas
ury though encroaching upon to fs.
cal years.
4 1t is shown that on october Is,
1910, the War Department was in
formed that Remington. one of the
purchasers, was buying for the French
Government and that Gen. Belknap
thereupon directed that no more arms
be sold to him. But the assailants
make much of the fact that arms were
delivered to Remington on the same
day (Oct. 1s), at distant arsenal, on
an old contract.
5. 1t is shown that while the
Franco-Prussian war was progress
ing, Baron Gerolt, the Prussian Min
ister in this country, telegraphed to
Bismarck that French agents were
buying a good many muskets here,
and that Bismark replied, in the Ian
guage of Treasurer Spinner, that sin
his opinion. after due examination
and consideration, the ereported sales
Of arms to France were 10 violation
of neither the law of nations nor any
treaty stipulatioos with the United
States, and that, as to the purchase of
the arms at an advance of fifteen per
cent, or at any other rate, he saw no
reason for authorizing it, since the
German troops would doubtless short
ly be able to obtain them for nothing
by picking them up on the banks of
the Loire"'
6. 1t is finally shown that Mese-s,
Schurz, Sumner and Trumbull male
their assault on the administration and
on their country on the strength Of a
charge in French imperialist news
paper, copied into the New Y ork Sun.
