THE PRESIDENTS son.

Mr.. Fred Grant is like that other,
older, and fatter soldier, Falstaff.
Never dangerous action can show
his head but he is sent upon it. Hardly
had he returned from overrunning
Russia, Turkey, and the Caucasus than
a grateful War Department heaped
laurels, with the rank, allowances, and
pay of brevet Lieutenant-C Colonel,
upon him. For months he drew his
pay with vigilance and courage at
Chicago, till he was detailed to do pic
mic duty on the Yellowstone. There
was one fight in which a Lieutenant
Colonel distinguished himself, but it
was Lieutenant-C Colonel Custar, as Lieu
tenant Grant, just before 1t took place,
made q flank movement upon Chicago
which to this day has not been satis-
factorily accounted for. There he COW
cred himself with fresh rations till an
admiring father called him to Wash-
ington to no censure of Lieutenant
Colonel Grants conduct in the West is
to be inferred by his translation to
Washington sufficiently appears from
the fact that he draws pay as a Lieu
tenant-C Colonel and the Consciousness
word "brevet' is omitted, through
kindly and thoughtful Difference to
certain ScArreO anu SIlLZieu olu captains
and majors who might otherwise be
nettled at the rapid promotion OF n
younger and more influentially con-
nected soldier. The hereditary genius
of the Grants displays itselfin the some
what sappy chip of the old block, who
is running up the army list with the
rapidity ola monkey ascending ships
rigging and promises to be at the mast
head ere the men who do the work
have toiIed up to the mainyard.-N. y.

THE DANGER AHEAD.

The Chicago Tribune has been study
ing the Communist exhibitions in that
city and elsewhere, and it has come to
the conclusion that there is danger
ahead. 1t says:
If the struggle must como, it should
not find either government or society
unprepared for it. Organization must
be met by organization, and force by
force. Men who have accumulated
property must be prepared to defend it
as we'll against domestic as foreign in
vaders. They must fight for it il neces-
sary, with better organization and in
more determined spirit than those
who would fight to wrench it from
them. We have already had the first
warning. If 1t be allowed to pass un.
needed, the second will be lost upon us

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AT ST.
PETERSBURG.

New York, Jan'y 17.-On Sunday,
the 9TH inst, the Duke of Edinburgh
arrived in st. Petersburg in good health
and capital spirits. About an hour
previously the Imperial carriage and
sledges arrived at the railway station to
receive him, and presently a guard OF
honor with a band at it's head and the
Russian eagle displayed, was drawn up
on the platform.
Soon afterW ards the Grand Duke
Alexis appeared on the scene, saluting
the guard with a hearty "Good morn
ing, soldiers" and was received with a
response. Next came the
Grand Duke Nicholas, who gave and
received the same greeting, and it now
only remained for the Emperor to ap-
pear, which he did few minutes after
2 o'clock, accompanied by a brilliant
staff, among whom was the British
Ambassador.
So soon as the train had entered the
station tho Duke of Edinburgh jumped
out and advanced to the Emperor, who
gave him Il most affectionate welcome,
as did also the Grand Dukes in turn
the band in the meanwhile playing
sGod Save the Queen" Tho chief
thoroughG,rcs were gaily decorated with
flags. When the Duke arrived at the
Winter Palace, he was received by the
Empress and Princess Marie, together
with the Imperial household.

and some day we viii be surprised at
what we already foresee. Communism
is hydra-headed, and Its venom has
been and Is now being disclosed In
places where 1t was not suspected.
Society has numbers ON Its side, but
numbers without organisation axe
chaotic and inefhcient. Coanmunism
Is constantly gaining organization, and
has all the desperation OF those who
have nothing to lose, but everything to
gain. 1t is time that every State In the
Union should go earnestly to work to
prepare for the onset Of the followers Of
Karl Marx, for they mean business
not Paris and Berlin merely, but In
New York and Chicago.

We areglad to read in the New York
Times, tho ablest supporter ofPresident
Grants administration, tho following
timely assurance, with which it closes
a lengthy, fair-minded, and earnest
editorial on the Texes Imbroxlio. 1t
says:
"The country has had enough of
Federal interference In the affairs Of the
Southern States. Any party or persons
who seek to breed more Of the disturb
ance which have required such interven-
ton, will be conden ned by public opin-
ion. The Republicans Of Texas have 80
acted that, If they continued to have
their way, they willin the end burden
their party in the nation with their local
quarrels to it's great injury. The only
course by which this can be avoided is
to leave them to settle the matter with
their opponents in the best way they
can. We believe that the general sem
timent of the country demands that the
general government shall keep aloof
from this affair. The people Of Texas
having got themselves into difficulty,
should get themselves out Of It. And
| 1t will be expected that they shall do It
without a resort to force on either side.

NEW HAMPSHIRE PREPARING FOR
BATTLE.

The Republicans held their State
Convention at Concord on the 7th and
nominated Luther McCuthins, of New
London for Governor. On the follow
ing day the Democracy assembled in
the same place and unanimously NOM
mated James a. Weston, who was
defeated last year by two hundred and
twenty-eight votes. The Republicans,
in their platform condemned the salary
grab, and ask the members of Congress
to restore the old figures; oppose prod
igality and corruption; special legisla-
ton ,pIundering schemes and the reviv-
al of the franking privilege. The DEM
ocratic platform opposes unequal taxa
ton adhcres to the Cincinnati-Balti-
more platform ri 1872; favors retrench-
fncnt, reform and economy everywhere; :;
opposes the policy of giving the public
domain to jobbers; censures the Presi-
dents use of the veto power; condemns
the reckless and disgraceful legislation
Of Congress denounces the salary
grabbers; opposes monopolies recog-
nizes the grievances of the farmers and
demands an improvement in financial
legislation. Gov. Weston has often
been before the people Of New Hamp-
shire, and always proved worthy OF
every confidence reposed in him. In
1871 he ran against James Pike, the
Radical candidate for Governor, and
was elected by majority Of five hun.
dred and ten. In 1872 he ran again,
this time against f. A. Straw, the
Radical nominee, and had plurality
of eight hundred and seven, but wanted
one hundred and siXty-six ofa majority
over all, which was necessary to ar
election. The case went to the Legis
lature, where Weston was elected by s

A REPUBLICAN, ASSAULT ON THE
ADMINISTRATION.

WAsIrINGToN, Jan. s.-Mr. Kasson
to-day led Off ON the part of the anti
monopoly party in tho house, in a
speech of great power and boldness,
against the education bill, taking the
ground that it was step towards CEN
traIization and another assault of the
Federal power against the rights of a
State. Healso opposed it on the ground
that it was part and parcel of the pub
lie land policy of the Republican party
for the last twelve years, which he de-
nounced and to put an end to which ,he
said, was one of the main objects of
the great reform movement now sweep
ing over the West. His position SEEM
ed to be accepted by tho Eastern mon
opolists, Republicans and Southern
carpet-baggcrs as gage of defiance to
the Administration, and the represen-
tative of the latter element, Roderick
Il. Butler, took strenuous issue with
Kasson. The speech of the Iowa re.
former, however, was the sensation oi
the day, and opened the eyes of good
many, hitherto skeptical, to the fac
| there is a big break in the Republican
party.-,S. Louis Republican.

BREADsTuFFs TRADE.
Says the New York Bulletin

says the New York BOllet1n:
Thus it appears that the whole
breadstufs list, without an exception,
is in a strong and steadily strengths
ening position, with the probable con-
tingency of new elements Of strength
sooner or later to be developed. To
this should DO added a short potato
crop and n hay crop by no means album
dant. In this view there is no cause
for apprehension that the foreign de-
mand will continue inactive much
prices is not based upon any specula-
tive feeling, but upon logical detluc-
tions from the situation in all the
markets of the world, and we are no
doubt upon the eve of greater activity
for home and foreign demand, and
higher prices arc almost certain to fol-
low its developments.
These arguments are all based upon
tho present and prospective foreign
demand, leaving any increase of home
demand out of the calculation. But
there is also ground for anticipating an
increase here also, from the fact that,
in addition to the annual increase of
consumption with the increase of pop
ulation and business, our iobbers were
almost out of stock upon the opening
of the year, as all had been running on
low stocks since the panic, and re-
Trained from any purchases for future
wants until tho accounts of the old
year had been closed and settlements
made. These arc in progress, and by
tho middle ofthe month will be largely
completed, when it is reasonable to
look for more active homo demand
for all kinds of goods, and with limited
stocks in store here, comparatively,
and limited facilities for transportation
from the interior, the whole supply Is
likely to decrease for some time to
come, while any material accumula.
tion from now to tho opening Of navi.
CATION does not seem to be among the
probable, not to say tho possible, CON
tingencies.

VIRGINIA AND HER NEW SENATOR.

Col. Robt. e. Withers, Senator elect
from Virginia, was a gallant Confeder-
ate officer. After the war he adopted
journalism as his occupation, and be-
came prominent In connection with the
Lynchburg press. In 1868 he was nom-
mated for Governor by the straight
Democrats, but with remarkable pru-
dence and patriotism yielded his claims
to Gov. Walker and the conservative
movement. At the last gubernatorial
convention he was pressed for the first
place upon the Conservative ticket, but
yielded to Gen. Kemper, in order that
harmony might be preserved in the
ranks of the opposition forces. Instead
of retiring in anger or disgust, he ac-
cepted the second place on tho ticket
and entered upon tho canvass with his
customary galantry and energy. He is
now rewarded for his noble conduct by
promotion to the United States Senate.
Mr.. Withers, while of fair ability, is
not possessed of that high order of in
tellect which marked the representa-
tives Of Virginia before the war. In
point Of intellect ,and of course in point
of information, he is not the equal of
Mr.. Hunter, Mr.. Goode, or of Mr..
Stuart, who competed with him for
the nomination; but we have no hesi-
tation in saying that he will make q far
more efficient Senator than either of
those gentlemen would have made.
In noticing his nomination, it would
be well to remember that Mr.. Withcrs
goes to the Senate unshackled by party
obligations. Ono of the articles an
nouncing the principles and purposes
of the Conservative movement in Vir-
ginia, an article which in the election
of Gen. Kemper was ratified by a
majority of q 900 people, declares that,
disclaiming all purpose of captious
hostility to the present Executive head
of the Federal Government, the peo-
pie of Virginia will Judge Gen. Grant
impartially by his official action, and
will cooperate in every measure Of his
administration which may be benefi-
cent in design and calculated to promote
the welfare of the people and cultivate
sentiments of good will between the
different sections of the Union. Gov.
Kemper, in his inaugural address, de-
c1ares that this article was no political
expedient of the hour, that it embodies
sentiments of honorable men, and binds
by the obligations of good faith and
justice, and that it pledges to the Ad-
ministration such liberal support as
may be consistent with principle and
justified by the developments Of the
future.
With such a record, Mr.. Withers on
ters the Senate with far greater power
for good than he could possibly have
welded if his State had bound him
within the restricted and inhexible
limits of party.-Eicay,t1e.

majority Of eight. Last year Judge
Straw took the field again against Gov
ernor Weston, and was elected by a
majority of two hundred and twenty
eight, Weston losing votes by the
Liberal aud Temperance candidates.
The vote of New Hampshire has
always been close, but the Democrats
feel confident now with the field mar
rowed down to two candidates.
