A Short Article on General Grant.

The Republicans are generally satisfied
with General Grants Administration. and
inclined to renew his lease of powell
There is very general conviction that he
is safe aud prudent Executive.
Gen Grant has been not quite two years
in power. During those two years many
ar-clouds have loomed on the horizon,
yet peace with foreign nations and with
Indian tribes has been happily preserved.
The taxes have been largely reduced. vet
two hundred millions of the national debt
have been paid off and Cancelled, though
we are paying one hundred and twenty
millions per annum for interest, and thirty
millions per annum for pensions to the
widows and orphans of our great struggle.
We doubt whether any Government ever
before devoted so large proportion of its
annual incomes to the payment of debt
lie misunderstands human nature who
fancies that these facts will not tell in a
Presidential contest.
Lest it should be supposed that the fore
going are the utterances of san organ, -
we may as we'll say that it is quoted from
leading article written by Mr.. Horace
Greeley himself. only few months ago,
and published in the Tribune. Gen. Grant
has continued to keep "peace with foreign
nations and with "Indian tribes" to
tighten the taxes, and to pay of the debt.
Consequently, lie must still bs worthy of
the praises which MI Greeley bestowed
upon him in 1871. How is that?

The national Democratic committee
have decided to hold the National Conven-
ton of the party, to make nominations for
President and Vice President, in Baltimore,
ont he 9th Of july Between now and then,
the most important question the party was
ever called upon to decide faces them,
whether to take Greeley or make straight
out Democratic nomination. Greeley is
already bidding for the Democratic endorse
ment. In Wednesdays Tribune lie says
the nominees of the Cincinnati convention
will not be withdrawn, no matter who is
nominated at Philadelphia; but in case
straightout Democratic ticket is placed in
the field it "might shake if not shatter the
Liberal organization" If this isn't an
offer by the philosopher to sell out to the
emocrats-language has no meaning.

sS-..A letter from the Hassler expedition
describes its progress through the Straits
of Magellan. The good fortune of Prof.
Agassiz and his associates in respect to
scientific discoveries still attends them
We read of fish shaped like wicker-b baskets,
and sea nag that keep up an appetite SO
voracious that after being laid out to dry
on deck she is still able to kill and eat 9TH
er marine animals. The proofs of glacial
action in Patagonia; the fact that her
mountains are extinct volcanoes, giving
color to tho legends from which Terra del
Fuego took its namey and the determine
ton of the position of the coal measures,
showing that the mining operations are
carried on in true coal, are among the
important results obtained on that distant
coast.

The New York Posts (Bryant's Paper
Opinion Of Greeley.

"He lacks the courage, the firmness and
the consistency which are required in
Chief Magistrate of the nation. He showed
this in remarkable manner when, at the
outbreak of the civil war he desired to let
the South have its way and desolve the
Union of the States He was frightened,
and feared to face the consequences of re-
jecting the demands of the Southern qol-
iticians. The war, however, went on, and
soon, though claiming to be Unionist, he
became frightened again. He wanted to
make terms with the rebel government at
Richmond; he wanted to negotiate with
George Saunders and other agents of the
rebel government who had sought refuge
in Canada. He was for stopping the war
and letting the South depart with the
chance ofpreserving slavery. His whole
career during the war was irresolute and
| cowardly, and his counsels impolitic and I'M
| wise to the last degree.
"Mr. Greeley's political associations and
intimacies are SO bad that we can expect
nothing from him, in case, to his own mis-
fortune and ours, he should be elected, but
a corrupt administration of affairs. Every
body is aware of his close intimacy with
Mr.. Fenton, of the Senate. If there is a
corrupt and dishonest politician in the land,
there is no man who has better claim to
be SO considered than Reuben +. Fenton.

same facility for entering into close associ-

whole of Mr.. Greeley's career. He began

Weed, and only rebelled against his master
when he found that he was not to have anv
