Sumner on Grant.

One ofthe greatest political sensations
OF the day, overlapping in interest even
the Philadelphia Convention, is the re-
cent mastery speech of Senator Sumner
reviewing Grants political career, and
in which he asserts that Grant is more
deserving of fimpeachmentthan Andrew
johnson. 1t cannot be said tn at Summer
is Democrat; he is now and hes al
ways been our bitterest apponent, and
his testimony is that of Radical wit.
ness.
Even Forney, who has at last resolv-
ed co support Grant (but declines to aid
Hartranft) in commenting on his speech
alludes to him as "the great Senator
who never does anything in haste"
and as "my dear friend Sumner" He
says:
"It would be folly to deny that his
philippe is fierce and able. 1t would be
weak to refuse to accept it as bold and
dangerous demonstration. AS such /
propose to discuss it. The readers of
THE PRESS have not failed to notice
that have never concealed my attach.
ment to Charles Sumner. know him 80
well, and have known him so long and /
confideso entirely in his personal integ.
rity, and so honor his requirements and
his patriotism, that 1 could not help re.
peated efforts to establish good relations
between him and President Grant. I
have never concoale my belief that his
degradation from the craftsmanship of
the Senate Committee of Foreign Rela.
tions was mistake, de oply aggravated
by its subsequent organization, and by
the removal of Mr.. Motley. He con-
structed and led a great party, and
hung to his convictions with the tena-
city of Cromwell, captivating the Sen
ate and the country, and extorting, by
his tremendous abilities, the warmcst
praise from his sternest foes"
He knew Grant, because he helped
make him and, like prudent parent,
is now chastising bad child. Nor can il
be said that Sumner is disappointed
Office seeker. He is an intense radical
and represented an intensely radical
state, long before Grant voted fol
Buchanan, or declared that "if the wal
was to be for the liberation of the mig
gers he would resign" If Sumner
Greely, Fenton, schurz, Trumbull, and
Mcclure are not Republicans, both par
ties are very much deceived.
1t will now more than ever be the
duty of the Democrats at Baltimore to
nominate a man of such ability and
craftsmanship, as to throw in deeI
contrast the man whom his own party
charge with nepotism, corruption, and
imbecility.
The contrast was made at Reading
and the result will be the inevitable de-
feat of the Treasury Ring at Harrisburg
whose fostering corruption Is SO noto
rious that it is not even denied.

Charles II. BuckaIew.

In placing at the head of our columns
the name of this distinguished gentle.
man as the candidate for Governor, we
not only do what is expected of us as
members of the party which placed
him in nomination, but at the same
time give expression to the most heart
felt satisfaction personally at the result.
The selection of Mr.. Buckalew was
the spontaneous and unsolicited action
of the sovereign people. From all parts
of the Commonwealth came up de-
maud on the convention assembled at
Reading for q nomination which should
give hope and earnest of reform In
every branch Of the government at
Harrisburg; that should secure capaci.
ty, honesty, and independence in the
administration; that should ignore
rings and corporations as engines of 20.
litical power and dispensers of political
patronage, and restore to the people of
the State the respect, consideration and
protection they had and enjoyed in
those days of political purity when 81.
mon Snyder and Francis II. Shank hon.
osed the Office of Chief Executive of the
State.
The nomination was conspicuous by
the absence Of all the usual appliances
and concomitants of such an event
Not even his own county was instruct.
ed sor him, and but one county in the
State, we believe, had taken that pre-
caution !; and yet when his name was
mentioned in convention the instanta
neous outburst of enthusiasm showct
the beat of the popular heart. From
the beginning of the balloting to tn,
end OF it there was steady and increas
ing advance in the number of his sup
porters till, on the magic seventh, tn,
triumph was complete.
Scarcely two weeks had gone by sine
Mr.. Buckalew had consented to permi
his name to be mentioned in connection
with the Office of Governor; but TWEEN
ty years of stainless public life hat
convinced the people that he was tn
man, perhaps the only man, who coult
and would stem the torrent of corrup
tion which has so long disgraced tn
State; and his competitors GRACEFUL,
gave way before the resistless will Q
the people who, irrespective of previ
Gus party ties, have everywhere spon
taneously announced their determine
tion to give him their support.
Mr.. Buckalew has never been vic
lent partizan. 1t is not in his nature t
be 80. Though no man holds his opir
ions more tenaciously or upon sure
foundation of argument and reason, b
always treats an opponent with respet
and his opinions with consideration
The qualities of his head and his hea
draw to him irresistibly the support {
all honest and moderate men every
where.
He is lawyer of distinguished abil
ty, public speaker of great power an
persuasiveness, statesman of larg
experience, politician of clean hand
pure heart, Of uncorrupt mind, Of a
age when the fire of youth has bee
tempered by observation and study
and will make Governor of whor
the State may be proud, and in whor
the people can have the most unlin1itc
confidence.

Gen. o. o. Howard, of Freedman's
Bureau notoriety was recently sent by
the Government to pacify the Apache
Indians. On his arrival in Arizona he
requested Gen. Crook to temporarily
suspend Hostile operations against these

test the efficacy Of moral suasion. He
now withdraws his previous request for
a suspension of the campaign, and ad.
vises vigorous measures at once to pun.

signates as robbers and murderers, who

truly appalling.
With an acrobatic power, of
the possession of which he was
himself unaware, he leaped out
of the box, covered from head to
foot with burning fax. With
roars and bowls of agony he made
straight for the door, but he was
not SO quick as the owner of the
premises, for with one look of
terror at the burning figure, he
fled out of the house, closely fol-
lowed by his satanic majesty"
When they we're both gone, the
parson gave his hostess a short
but effective lecture on connubial

An Unwe1come Visitor.

IL a sensation was created about
8 O'Clock yesterday morning in
the lobby Of the Southern Hotel
by The appearance of a leopard
from the menagrrie of the circus.
1t was under the charge OF Her
finger, the lion tanner, but he
seemed for awhile to have lost his
control over it. The leopard got
his back up at something, and af-
ter crossing the threshold of the
main entrance and proceeding as
far as the cigar stand, would
bulge no further. He finally
stretched his ponderous body at
full length in front of the stand.
The clerk behind the cigar counter
was at first badly frightened, but
soon mustered sufficient courage
to take peep at the strange WISH
tor. The latter apparently .resen-
ted this exhibition of curiosity and
gathered himself up for a spring,
from which however he was res.
trained by his keeper, bat not un-
til his fore paws struck the cigar
boxes piled on the counter, caus-
ing them to tumble about in as
lively manner as if the leopard |
had been full empowered reve-
nue. collector sfazvEe a-,s-e--xr |
The leopardwas thenled through
the rotunda, a path being quickly I
cleared for him by the frightened
bell-boys and bystanders. At the
bar it leaped upon the counter and
remained PROSTATE while Hertiu- |.
ger consumed q small sensation of 1
crabs and ice. Then the /
TWO departed in a perfectly non
,halant manner, as if they had
been ordinary guests of the estab-
ishment.-St. Louis Democrat.

Parton's Life of Greeley.

DsaeThis is. one of the most nota-
blelbooks of the times, and de-
cidedly one,of the best written
and remarkably interesting of
American biographies. We do
not proposesto review it from a
political standpoint, for it is not
designed as a mere campaign
book, but a work of standard
value, from the pen of a writer
of established reputation, whose
biographies of eminent Ameri-
cans, are we'll known and high
Iy valued. Mr.. PARToN's wri-
tings are all attractive on ac-
count of the care he exercises
in collecting incidents, and the
ingenuity with which he weaves
them into the story of "a life, to
relieve the tedium Of dry facts
and monotonous narration.
Such a work cannot be re-
viewed in the compass Of an or
binary book notice, and it is
best therefore to simply inform
the reader, that it was com
menced several years ago, before
Mr.. GREELEY was thought Of as
"a presidential candidate, and
faithfully written as one volume
in the series Of PARTON biogra-
.phies, simply for its general in
terest and intimate connection
with the history Of the country

lowing him through all the vi
cissitudes Of early years of tri-
al and adversely, the school

power that marks his ripper years
and carried him forward to the
time when the people honored
him with.the nomination for the
highest place in our land. Not
written in the interest of Party,
it is a full and Impartial Histo-
ry, entirely free from parti-
san bias, and worthy place in
every: library in the land. AS
book Of reference, a guide to
young men and an incentive to
renewed activity for every aspi-
ring mind. '.n '>s Z. h.
