be made to the claims for indirect damages,
as correspondence with regard to them is
pending between England and the United
States. England assumes that the claims are
limited to losses occasoned by the Florida,

not object to the introduction of the names of
nine other rebel cruisers added to the list by
the American case. She calls attention IN

SCHURZ AND THE GERMANS.

1t seems to be taken tor granted that all
the Germans in the country will follow
the lead of SEIZURE into the democratic
party. There is no good reason for such
conclusion. The Germans have certain
ly given no evidence by any movements
or demonstrations upon which to found
such an opinion. Some of the German
papers support Schurz and some oppose
him.
The root of this idea is that nationality
will sway the Germans. 1t is supposed
they will stand by Schurz because he is of
German origin, disregarding the princi-
Piles at issue. This, in our opinion, is es-
timating German intelligence, honor and
firmness at too low rate. AS a class they
are as reliable, as decided, and as sound
on political questions as native Americans.
Why should they follow Schurz in paths
which their judgments do not approve P
What would they gain by supporting him !?
We think Germans will ask and ponder
and decide these questions as men born
on American soil WILL
1t is not a desirable thing for Germans
to establish political divisions, resting
upon former nationality. 1t would be a
step that might ultimately react in disas-
trous manner. 1t would not be we'll to
have German, an Irish, an English, or
an American party in this country. If
1nh l.
introduced into politics that would newt
ably retard the growth Of our civilization
and perhaps bring down our institutions
in ruin upon our heads. The German
people understand this as we'll as we do.
1t is true that the Irish have usually voted
in almost solid body with the democrat
lie party. but it was not as an Irish party.
&c. too, the Germans have generally sup
ported republican principles, but not
as a German party. They have supported
the party with they affiliated, because
they desired to maintain its principles. not
because it was Irish or German. We
know no attempt to draw any class of
people to the support Of leader on the
score of nationality, that accomplished
much, except to disappoint and defeat
those who tried it. 1t Is better tor them
that no such effort should succeed. The
sooner foreign nationalities are sunk or
merged in American citizenship the better
for all concerned. 1t would be sad day
for the Germans should they raise the
banner of Germany upon our soil and
carry it into Presidential conflict, and
we think they know it. Therefore, we
have no fear that Schurz will carry them
with him in body, or even to any extent
on the score of nationality.

At the recent sorehead meeting the be-
grimed finger Of Tammany pointed at you
from every spot, and the chopped hair and
broken noses of the old Pewter Mug
mingled about equally with the we'll
known chronic Office beggar to make up
the audience. Last hight the quiet; men
who won the victory of last November
were out in force to back up the work
they commenced so well at the ballot boz
five months ago, and the meeting was a
reform" meeting in more than one sense
of the word"
The Tribune does not question the char
acter of the Grant convention, while the
Post, although Directing to the speeches
and resolves, bears testimony to the worth
and strength of the men composing the
meeting as follows: THE list of Off
GERS chosen by it is, on the whole, the
best, most respectable and most influential
commanded by any partisan meeting with
in our recollection. There are few
names on It which disgrace their fellows !;
there are many which carry no weight; ;
but an unusually large proportion of the
very long list are eminent and representa-
tive names in this city. The audience as
sembled was in many respects in keeping
with the officers 1t consisted mainly Of
respectable, thoughtful voters"
Testimony like this from the opposition
papers tells who support Grant 1t is the
prudent, thoughtful. patriotic men. who
desire safe government, and not the
men who seek office. If the officeholders
were all that sustain Grant he would be
helpless.

Grant.
