PRESIDENT MAKING-LHarIeS EIon-
els Arlun1s Hoposed.- The New York
World Of yesterday, in commenting
on the suggestion of correspondent
that the Democratic party nominate
Charles Francis Adams for the Presi-
dency, says:
"ihere is no eminent citizen Of the
United States who would make a
more able, upright, independent safe
and patriotic President than Charles
! Francis Adams, or who would 50 sure
ly restore to that high office the dig
nifty it possessed in the better days Of
the republic. He is in every respect
the opposite Of Gen. Grant--in capaci-
ty, standing, civil experience, states
manIikc knowledg. and pnblic esteem
, If Mr., Adams should receive the Joint
nominations Of the Cincinnati conven-
ton and the Democratic national con-
ventlon, there Is no statesman Of 9th
er party whom We could support with
more yea or greater satisfaction.
Having been abroad during the civil
war, taking no active part in politics
since his return, there is nothing in his
record to which either democrats or
, liberal republicans could object. The
drift Of democratic sentiment tayors
| the nomination Of some liberal rcpub-
liran Of high character; and in such
II combined movement IS is now in
contemplation. there are likely to be
conflicting preferences IN the early
stages OF the movement. Whether
the candidate finally settled upon, at-
ter II fair comparison of views. be Mr..
Adams, Gov. Brown. Senator Irum-
bull or Judge Davis, We shall give
him an equally hearty support. Mr..

GREELEY sTf-suELL.

The first news Of the North Caroll-
ma election indicated Democratic
and Liberal triumph by about 1900
majority. When that news was re-
eeived at a Democratic meeting, IN
Lexington, KY, il created great en-
thusiasm. The speakers took occasion
to express their feelings, and we COM
mend their utteranees to all whom IL
may concern. The report is from the
Cincinnati Commercials Greeley

and reflect: i
Mr.. Beck and Col. Blackburn de-
livered the most market speeches, and
/ ELECTED the greatest enthusiasm. They
/ took the ground that the support Of
Greeley 10y the Democracy was siinp-
/ ly matter Of eXpeaIieney and policy;
/ that hitherto that party had been un>
able Of Itself u triumph iB national
affairs, aud now the opportunity was
offered through Greeley b gain pos
session Uf the governments. They be-
lieved the present movement was
certain to enure TO the benefit OF the
Democratic party. Should Greeley, if
elected, ATTEMPT to be dishOnOrable or
endeavOr to enact any obnoxious prin-
eiples of radicalism, a Democratic
| Congress, that was certain to be ehOs-
en- with him, would hedge him in and
render his efforts harmless; and that

Gen. Hodge also assumed that there
was a compact between Greeley and
/ the Democracy whereby mutual Obli-
cations and benefits were derived, and
! that the letter Of acceptance Of Mr.
! Greeley meant that such distinguisf-
/ ed and chivalrous leaders as Gegg
John O. BreckinTidgel and Others
should be restored % their original
I positions Of DOlCeI- and influence " tbs
IlCiiiOn. He also declared that the
| Southern States WOnld seeuTe equal
rights again, aud as he looked upon

| he felt IN the coming triumph that his
cOmrads OF the lost eOuse had not died
l IN t,ris, BAT that q IDOldd b tie Vfe-

4 eulOgized the letter Of acceptance Of
Mr.. Greeley, and at length discussed
the condition OF the Southern States

EpiHlanous, who became an author

Between the age OF IS and G7, BaX-

When an old man, Baxter, was

Jeilfies on charge of seditiOn; and,
during the trial, Baxter Ventured to

Dat lsh Good.

AS a gentleman from New York
was taking a glass of wine at the st.
Louis. corner of Freeman and Hop
kins Streets. Cincinnati, about three
weeks ago, he observed at another
table, a German, who seemed uneasy
and anxious, as if there might have
been a FraneO-Prussian disturbance
between his beer and himself. Pres
emily in ran little girl, her face rad
liant with smiles, eXclaiming:
''Oh, father! we've got little baby
at hOmeW
"Dat ish gOOt," said the Dutchman,
as the anxiety disappeared from his
eOuntenance; "fill up der glasses"
Not many minutes elasped before
in rushed the little girl again with
the announcements:
"Oh, father, we've got tgO lille
boys at home ?n
The Dutchman looked n great deal
astOnished and not at all gratilied at
this little family redundancy, but
rising to the magnitude of the Oeca-
sion, he said:
"Vell, den, dat ish also gOOt. Fill
up der glasses"
In a few minutes again appeared
the radiant messenger, with the as
tOnishing proclamation
"Oh, father, we've got three Gttle
bO9JS at home ~
This was too much even for Tell
tonic impassiveness. There was no
further call for glasses.
