The Decline Q, Grantism.

Tbstthe republican party isalready dissolved
is beyond question, the organic machinery OF
the party being left in the hands of President
Grant and his ring OF Office holders ana ex-
pectants The question, to determine a man
fealty to the party IS no longer, Are you
suppoyter of the principles of the republican
partv?" hut DO YOU support the reelection
or President GrantE' An answer In the
NEGATIVE TO this latter question places the man
who gives it outside the pale OF the republican
party, no matter what his profession of polit-
ical faith may be otherwise All the political
conglomerations of the day are resolving
themselves rapidly and inevitably into two
simple clements rantism and anti-Grant-
SIN ; and as this resolution becomes apparent,
so the anti Grant element gains strength, and
Crantism declines. ''SlX months ago." says
the Chicago Yribuns, "all the straws were
blowing one way-all IN favor of Grant" But
how is it now : The recent defeat of Grants
adherents in the lower house of congress in
their determined effort to force an early ad-
iournment of congress; the triumph of Schurz
and Trumbull in their exposure of Grants
completely with Leet, Porter and Babcock in
the custom-house frauds at New York city
the anticipated dlsgracetul breakdown of the
Geneva convention for the arbitration and
settlement Of the Alabama claims the more
than shameful condition Of our naval service
after the millions Of money devoted to it dur.
ing the last decade, just at the time when we
are more than likely to be inyolved!ln un-
friendly complications with Spain; the
wretched and ignorant manner in which
Grant and his stupid secretary of state have
mismanaged our diplomatic relations with our
only European friend, the powerful empire of
Russia the shallow and dishonest triGkery
manifested by the president in his pretence Of
lnaugurating civil service reform; the neglect
to return to specie payments; the absolute
hostility to any revenue reform worthy the
name; the refusal to concedc universal am.
nesty, and persistence IN martial government
for the Southern states Of the Union-all com
blne to render assurance doubly sure that the
reign Of Grantism is approaching q speedy

The English Difficulty.

There is certainly no sOftening down of the
tone of the English press since our last on the
question Of " constructive damages in the Al
bama claims business, and that none need be
looked for Is evident from the patent fact, as a
London paper states it, that "No ministry
could continue the negotiations in regard to
the Alabama claims as the case now stands and
hold Office twenty -four hours" Should the
present ministry 60 out on this issue, their
successors, from the nature of the case, would
be equally prevented from continuing the ne.
gotiations. There is, therefore, no escape from
the present middle except by new negota.
tons, and how these can be opened without
some previous blood-letting, Is the diplomatic
puzzle Of the day.
On the other hand, as the st. Louis Repulli-
can expresses 1t, "The manner in winch, thus
far, the United States Senate has met the Eng
| lsh difficulty, is altogether commendabe, and
must be source of pride and qualification TO
every citizen who values his country's dignity
and honor. There was room ana provocaton
for vast deal Of bluster and bravado; the
British parliament, from prime minister down
to the most insignificant members, has in.
dulged in much unnecessary and Incorporate
discussion; judged the case in advance, de-
clarcd what should and should not be- and
not to put too fine point on the matter
made fool of itself generally.
THE senate could not have been blamed
had it retaliated in kind, and allowed its pluck
and patriotism to exhale in flaming speeches
defending the treaty Of Washington, and in
sistlng upon the absolute and unqualified full
tillment of its provisions in their letter and
spirit. But nothing of the sort has been done !;
there has been no windy cap-trap, no rhetori-
cal nonsense, no Boosting or bombast what.
ever. The debates have been very brief and
very calm, and for once, at least, the American
propensity for idle talk has been subdued. and

The Legislature.

1t will be some relief to the people of ILL.,
nois to learn that the legislature actually con-
templates final adjournment within n month.
In actual session as they have usually been
but about two daya IN week, it was feared
that the members would exc out the whole
time for which they were elected in this des-
ultory way Drawing S. day, vet not
spending on an average over one day Der
week each at springfield, and riding back and
forth on dead head tickets, the thing paid
toIcrabty well, and 1t is surprising. thew
should give it up so soon. Tie senate has
adopted resolution to adjourn on the 18th
of March. During the past week the two
houses have brought to maturity and passed
as much MS half dozen of bills, Of which the
most notable are "An act relative to a School
District IN !Iallock :" and An "act to empower
county boards to prevent cruelty to animals"
No wonder the members need rest in view Of
the mental throcs it must have cost 70 BRING

J. w. Forney Resigns.

Quite a sensation was caused in political
circles at Washington on Friday Of last week
by the announcement that John w. Forney
the editor OF two papers, "both daily" had
sent to President Grant his resignation of the
Collectorship Of the Port of Philadelphia, Civ
ing as a reason that il interfered with his sin
dependence as an editor" Although the
letter to Grant is full of expressions of warm
personal friendship, the time and manner of
the resignation give it a significance that is
anything but assuring to the friends of Grants
reelection. The trouble grows out of the re-
cent special election in Philadelphia The
democrats and conservative republicans had
united in support of Col. Mcclure, a republi-
can, against a regular ward hummer, nomi-
mated by the Grant republicans. Forney was
ordered from Washington to support the
drummer" against Mcclure, which he refused
to do; and when, by the most rascally frauds,
the hummer WAS declared elected, Forney's
paper refused to swear that the election was
honest. This seems to have elected more
censure from Washington, upon which Forney
throws up his commission as collector.
The supposition would be altogether too
violent to be entertained for moment, that
Forney resigns because the cares of office are
burdensome. He has not been out of Office
a month in the last 20 years, and his two pa
pers, "both daily" have from the beginning
been nurtured on milk from the public teat
But Forney is q shrewd politician, and the
little experiment of the "passive' policy
which he just witnessed in the case of Col.
Mcclure doubtless gave him an mixing of
what the same policy may do not only in the
balance OF the State next fall, but throughout
the nation, and he has concluded to become
toot-loose in time to act as emergencies may
dictate.

Another UglV Stink.

The manifest connection of Grant and Por-
ter with the enormous general order steals of
Leet and Bixby in the New York Custom
House, has scarcely ceased to astonish and dis
gust, when another very ugly stink arises out
of the sale of arms to France during the
Franco-German war, in which the name of
Grant is again most conspiciorsly and disgust
ingly mixed up. These sales it was pretended
consisted of old arms and ordnance rendered
useless by the close of the war of the rebellion
and which were first sold at auction TO private
parties and then smuggled over to France.
But it seems no such roundabout way was
always pursued, but all government arrnor.
les were kept running day and night, by or
ders from Washington, in the manufacture of
new arms to be sold from the armories at suc-
tien as cast off war material, and then turned
over to the French agents a: enormous profits.
1t is said the steal amounts to three or four
millions. Sumner brought upon himself the
indignation of the whole Grant ing on Tues
day by offering a resolution in the L. S. Sen
ate to investigate the matter, and Shurz was
s'most stranged for making the charge that
while Grant was protesting friendship for the
Germans in the late war, he was selling CSC, 900
stand of arms to France in violation of our
neutrality laws and the comfy of nations.

THE EMERALDS.

One wintry afternoon in january
away up in the bleak attic of wretch
ell tenement house, a pale, sad.eyec
woman sat sewing. The garment upou
which she was engaged was very rich
and costly, being q handsome party
dress. The twilight closed in rapidly
with binding fall Of snow, and q bit
ter, wailing blast, that made the win
dows rattle in their easements. Still
the pAle-faced woman stitched on.
\ Mother" piped d slender voice from
tho cot beneath the window, ''shaIl YOU
get the fine dress done r Oh mother
TIM 80 hungry, if 4 could only have
some tea, and bit o. sausage" Y
The mother worked on steadily for
few moments, pausihg only to brush a
tear from her white cheek, then she
arose and shook out the glittering robe
"'Tis done at last" she said; "now
mothers poor little girl can have her
supper, only be patient 8 little longer
Flora. Ross, Ross, where are you, my
boyT
A manly little fellow came out from
the little bedroom beyond.
'The fine dress is done, Ross" said
his mother, land you must run home
with it ~ fast as ever you can. Miss
Garcia will be out of patince, / know.
Tell her I could't finish it one moment
sooner, and ask her to give you the
money. We must have il tonight.
And you can stop in at Mr.. Rays a. you
come back and buy some coal, and we
must have some bread and tee, and q
mite Of butter, and you must get sau.
sage, Ross, for poor little Flora"
"Ill get EN- all, mother" he said,
land be back in no time. You shall
have big sausage, little sis, he added,
turning toward the cot.
The little girl nodded her curly head. =.
and her great, wistful eyes sparkled
with delight.
Sand you shall have half of it, Ross. :,
she piped, in her slender, bird voice.
"Hadn't you better put on your thick
jacket, my boy p continued the moth.
err; "the wind cuts like a knife"
"Pshaw, little mother; I don't mind
the wind" And away he went, down
the creaking flight Of stairs, and out in
the storm. Miss Garcia Fontenay was
in q perfect furore Of impatience and
anger. Her dear five hundred friends
we're assembled in tn. halls below, and
her handsome dress had not come
home. What did that begger woman
mean by disappointing herf At that
moment there was ring at the door,
and voice in the hall.
