THE ATTITUDE OF THE TWO COUNTRIES COMPARED
lFrom the N. Y. Herald.l
As il Is, the attitude of America may well COM
pare with that of England We have nothing to
regret, nothing to explain. While England.
blindly and falsely led and ignorant of the truth,
has been in storm OF rage, America has been
calm, confident, patient, our Congress declining
even to discuss the question or ask for informa-
tioh concerning it. The contrast will do us great
honor
GOOD TIDINos FROM CONNECTICUT.
From the N Y. standardl
All accounts concur in saying that the Repub-
lcan meetings are large and spirited, and that
| the opposition gatherings are small and tame.
| General apathy, presaging defeat, is everywhere
seen in the Democratic ranks, while the Republl-
can legions stand in solid phalanx, fighting har-
| moniously. earnestly and confidently for victory
and the right The sounds OF retreAt are heard
along the Democratic lines, and the forces Of
Gov. Jewell are preparing for them another APP
pomAttox.
GEN. GRANTS VIEWS on THE MEXICAN QUESTION.
GFrom the N. Y. Herald.l
That the resources and capRbility Of Mexico
invite and demand good government that no
greater blessing could be given that people than
q United States protectorate that such pro-
tectorate would be great triumph to his adj
ministration and grand step accomplished in
manifest desteny = that Mexico should not be
left to the hazards of European Intervention
and Of another Foreign Prince, introduced like
Macmillan that as long as that country is
powerless to command respect for its flag abroad
or obedience to its laws at home, it will be at the
mercy Of any adventurous Power, and that IL
would be mu n cheaper and easier to prevent
the landing Of foreign force in Mexico than to
drive it out when once fairly established IN the
country, like the late French occup Ition under
Marshal Bazaine.
THE LESSON OF PARTY APosTACY.
From the N. Y. Times
The lesson read by Senator Wilson to discon-
tented Republicans is a very timely one. He
pointed out that no matter how influential man
m light be while acting within the party lines, he
lost all his influence when he forsook his party.
1t is quite right that it should be 30. Reforms
can be accomplished by man acting with his
party much sooner than by his proving faithless
and substantially playing into the hands OF the
| opposite party. Republicans who in any way
work for Democratic victories will find them
selves q ickly forsaken by the bulk of the peo
pie, who are (as we have often said wiser
than their so-called leader"
BARRENNEss OF THE ARMS INvEsTIGATIoN
[From the N. Y. Tlmesl
Mr.. Schurz's position is not an envable one.
| The investigation lie has engineered has been
so far very barren. The defacations which were
| charged, and which seem to have enlisted Sena
| tor Sumner in the movement, are proved not
to exist. The alleged violation Of the law for
the sale Of arms which Mr.. Sumner made great
| ado about, was never committed. The corruption
of public officers has not been sustained even by
remote hearsay evidence, which is all SchuIz
| processes to deal in. The very occasion alleged
for the investigation-act by the French As
sembly on the question-turns out never to have
| occurred
