to pass the Revenue bill on Tuesday. The
omnibus bill will then be taken up and fin
ished in about three days. This is the only
appropriation bill which the Senate has not

pass The House will not agree to send the
adjournment resolution back to the Senate.
and ths latter body is disposed to keep back
the omnibus appropriation bill, SO as to let it

Gen. Grants Platform.

The following, from Gen. Grants message
to Congress, cannot be too constantly kept
before the public. II is Gen. Grants own
declaration Of the principles upon which his
administration is conducted, and an admir-
able, pithy, yet comprehensive political plat
form:
Il would sum up the policy Of the Admin
istration to be thorough enforcement OF
every law; Il faithful collection Of the tax
provided for; economy in the disbursement
of the same, and prompt payment of the
debt of the nation; Il reduction of taxes as
rapidly as the requirements Of the country
will admit reduction of taxation and tariff
to be so arranged as to afford the greatest
relief to the greatest number honest and
fair dealings with all other people, to the end
that war, with all its bliehting consequences,
may be avoided, without surrendering any
right or obligation due to the United States {;
a reform in the treatment ofthe Indians, and
the whole civil service of the country; and,
finally, in securing pure, untranlmeled bal
lot, where every man entitled to cast vote
may do so just once at each election, without
fear of molestation or prescription on account
of his political faith, nativity, or color.

tsie Results ia Maine.

Now that the "hurll buriy's DONE and
the battle lost and Won, we have a breath
lng spell tn look over the results, one Of
the most cheering of which is the transform
alton Of several Republicans into Demo-
Gratis. The Republican party III Maine will
be purified and strengthened by the depart
TIRE of just about score of men who have
brought discredit upon it by regarding il as
mere instrument Of their personal ambition.
Olce-gctting has been TO them the only
real, tangible, valuable result of political
controversy. They have done all they could
to debaso the patty Of progress and Justice
by their ceaselcss clamor for ''recognition''-
their insensibility TO all considerations of
right when their personal interests were at
stake. Let them go! The air will be purer
in the Republican camp when they are gone.
But perhaps they imagine all the men they
have Gl>ied in the present canvass will con-
tEue following them. Here they err. The
most Of the associates of these twenty-odd
"ii!ce-scckcrs went into the Greeley move
ment honestly strroSing thai they were pro-
noting the cause OF reioln. And this Is what
they see:
They have seen the most open and shame
less political tiicI;erv ever attempted in this
state. Papers with huad;rdx OF forged sigma
lures have been circulated and published BY
thos" who We. knew that they were not
genuine. Conventions have been held at
which hardly 1.-THE of those in attendance
belonged TO the faction ostcnsibly holding
them.
They have seen the leaders OF one faction
Of the reform" PARTY make an open bargain
with The leaders of the other faction, by the
terms of which the former sold themselves to
The latter, the consideration being offices on
the enc side and votes on the other.
They have seen the reform" party make
a systematic use Of not only of the most dis
reputable tricks hitherto known in party war
fare, but Of new and strange ones invented
fer the occasion.
They must have seen the worst men in the
Republican party (hrite down list of their
names, you who d0ubt,) raise the cry Of ''re-
FORM" abandon their flag, and plunge into
political eEcesses new and strange even for
them.
1t is with profound Indifference, then, that
the Liberal nlasses-if there are enough of
them to constitute mass"-will receive
this dicto,m Of the Star 1.-THE Liberals have
made an alliance they expect to keep, and
their former ways will know them no more
so il is decreed."
The farewell which the Republican party
bids to these desertcrs is one of the most
cheerful exercises ever INDUCED in by politi-
cal humanity only, for Heavens sake, let
it be final goodbye. We have seen that
We can get on famously without any such
comrades. --PortlaR3 Press.

The Nation CaleChises aae World.

We have not seen anything smarter in
campaign literature than the following ques-
tons which The editor of the Nation addresses
TO the editor of the 'Vo.Jd:
" The UTo19 disputes our assertion that
General Grant is not responsible for the ku-
kluX legislation, inasmuch as he recon-
mcnded it in short message last year while
the ku-kluX law was under debate. If con-
troyersics between a daily and weekly paper
were not apt to be very improbable, we
should have much to say by way of rejoindcr
touching the proper political sense of the
term responsibility But we will admit that
Grant urged the Ku-kinX legislation with all
his might, if the conductors of the World
will answer few plain questions in a pleas
ant. cheerful, and straightforward manner !:
/. When Grant WAS advocating the coercion
of the South by unconstitutional laws, what
was Greeley doing? ,. II Greeley was do
ing the same thing, not III one short message
but il yards of frantic EDITORIAL what is
your opinion Of the propriety OF presenting
Greeley to the American people in oppose
ton to Grant as IA healer OF wounds and
soother Of strife? Knowing the history of
Grecley's relations to the leading questions
Of the day as you know it, do YOU not con-
slider the Greeley movement as on the whole
il remarkable mixture OF inpCSttlre and
tictuiltS +. nave you II No'f lctHN9
come across anything in the records oc hui
man delusion to which il can he litlv COM
pared except the AnabaptiSt movement. the
South Sea bubble, or the Mississippi scheme /:
s. When you think over ii all privately, does
it not fill YOU with patriotic melancholy,
broken and soothed by fits of uncomfortable
laughter? 6. Do you not think that there is
q peculiar appropriateness in having, as one
of the chief orators and managers of the
movement, Il gentleman who believes, and
has soemnly proclaimed his belief, that De-
mosthcnes, the Greek orator, frequently
passes the NIGHT uptown, dressed in Greek
clothes, Of the fourth century before Christ,
talking politics to Mrs. Victoria G.. Wood
hull? As regards ourselves, we assure the
Worth that nothing will induce us to jump out
of the frying-pan into the fire. We acknowl-
edge Grant to be the pan, but we are salts
fled that we can make it at least tolcrable till
1876, while the fire would finish us mt once !;
and no defamation about the beauty of fire,
or its value ON cold nights to the widow and
orphan, or its use, unless to the hardy black
smith, or the service ii renders in producing
popcorn and roasting chcstuuts, will tempt
us to try it. The alternative is Il wretched
one, but choice to us is easy."
