CEsARISM.
If the rumor is correct that Grant has ten.
dered the appointment of Chief Justice to Sen.
ator Conkling Of N. T., it will cause thinking
men Of both political parties to cogitate over
the Csesarism articles that have appeared lately
in the New York Herald But . short time
ago Mr.. Grant visited Maine ostensibly on q
pleasure tour, but it is known he was closeted
the greater portion Of his time. during hia
visit, with Speaker Blaine, whose Presidential
aspirations are matter Of public notoriety
It il surmised, and doubtless correctly. too, that
the object of HE visit to that State was to pave
the way for Blaine for seat In the U. 8. Sen
ate, and thus equelch his aspirations to become
the occupant of the White House. at least fo'
the next term. Mr.. Grants open and public
support of Beast Butler, in hin gubernatoria
canvass, is also ascribed to his desire to pro.
pitiate that worthy and get him of the Presi'
dental race course, as it is we'll known that
the Beast has had his eye on the position Of
Chief Magistrate. The only remaining for
midable competitor of Ulysses for third term
is Senator Morton, and upon him Grant is Law
ishing his favors with liberality unparalleled
in the political history Of the country. Sena'
ton Morton is his constant companion and ad'
wiser; and the policy of the Administration
upon all questions, whether of great or tri.
vial nature, is determined by the voice Of the
Senator from Indiana. Cabinet meetings may
be held, rs q matter Of form, and through
courtesy to those holding the portfolios Of the
various Departments; but no decided action is
taken, nor is any certain line Of policy de6n.
itely agreed upon, until the potent voice OF
Morton is heard by the aspirant for third
term. Blaine, Butler and Cenkling have been
secured, and it now remains to be seen whether
Morton, too. will forego his long-cherished de-
sire to ill the Presidential chair. II Mr.. Grant
succeeds in getting Morton of the track. not
single prominent candidate for the Presidency
is left in the Radical ranks, and it 10 safe to
predict that Grant will walk over the track,
for the nomination Mt least; though We scarcely
believe that, in these latter days. when the
party lash proves futile. the people can be
humbugged. driven or bought into supporting
the impudeut pretensions Of Grant for re.
newal of his lease Of power. Office and profit.
He, more than any one else. is directly respon.
sible for the wholesale plumber Of the Treasury.
through the Infamous back.pay bill. and bis
of public opinion. as evidenced in the
appointment Of Bihgham-one Of the back-pay
thieves-to the honorable and responsible po-
sition OF Minister to Japan; and his support
Of Butler who is entitled to claim the paternity
of the outrageous measure. will not add any
to his popularity with the masses Of the people.
His intrigues to secure another lease Of the
position he has disgraced, but veri6es the pre-.
dictions Of Frank =. Blair in his celebrated
letter. and justifes the timely warn.
ing of the New York Herald. rs given in the
articles on CRsarism, which We have before
referred to- Mr.. Grant evidently doesn't in
tend to relnquish the Office he holds if he can
possibly avoid it; and it remains for the peo-
Pile, in viod;cation Of their own rights. and Of
the spirit of republican institutions. to teach
him and his corrupt ring Of followers and re.
tainers lessen that will be an example for all
future generations
