The St. Louis Republican says of Hon. D.

The st. Louis Republican says of Hon. D.
w. Voorhees, and his recent speech:
This gentleman, brilliant as he is in
speech, will strive in vain to arrest the
popular current which is about to sweep
the Grant administration from place and
power. In Congress, he defined his position
TO be one of intense hostility to Greeley,
and of a mild degree of tolerance for
rGrant-the unmistakable inference being
that he prefers Grant to Greeley. This
morning the Radicals will be chuckling
over the accession of Voorhees, to their
party, and the latter's speech will be re-
dashed in every variety of form as Grant
campaign document from now till election
day.
We hope all the so-called Democratic
Congressman who think with Voorhees, will
lose no time in declaring their position as
boldly. 1t viii be refreshing, at any rate,
70 discover that they have any well defined
ideas as to their duty in this crisis. The
country has looked to them in vain, SO far,
for some slight evidences of ability in the
way OF leadership, and the time has passed
when the public cared what their attitude
might be. The Cincinnati movement be-
longs to the press and the people, and the
politicians must either run with the ma
chine or be run over by it.

The Louisville Courie,.-Joarnal saws:

The removal of Casey from the New Or
leans CustomhOuse just at this time is sig
nifcant. Other kinsmen Of the President
who hold fat offices viii probably have to
vacate. The Presidential election is coming
on, and Grant has discovered lately that
his continuation in Office is nothing Like so
sure a thing as he imagined. From this
time until November he and his partisans
will make great show of devotion to the
public interest. They viii try to persuade
the people there is no sacrifice they are not
ready to make for the sake Of reform and
honest government. Brother-In-law Casey
no doubt understands how it is, and win
cbeerfully obey the request to send in his
resignation, as it is all for the good of the
family and its friends. IF things turn out
"a desired in November, every Grant and
Dent and Casey in the land can be put back
intO Office, and the President afford to laugh
at charges of incompetency and corruption,
and at the reports Of committees of investi-
cation. Let the kinsmen and favOrites who
find their heads rolling off into the admin
istration basket comfort themselves with
the reflection that their chief is sure to glue
them on again to some purpose hereafter
If he has the power.

Amenities of the Campaign in Congress.
This is an editorial rebuke of the New
York Herald:
Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, is winning
himself the reputation Of a swaggerer. In
the course of the debate on the Louisiana
measures in the United States Senate last
Friday, he took occasion to say that the
Liberal Republicans who attended the Gin
cinnati convention from his State we're
EIthieves and rascals," and that the stag rag
and bobtail from other States were no
better. The scurrilous personalities Of the
partisan press are disgraceful enough, but
what opinion must foreigners form of us
when they find such pot-hOuse abuse uttered
on the floor of the United States Senatel
This Kellogg ought to be packed up in his
own carpet-bag and sent back to Louisi-
ana.
