The very establishment Of the Repub.

through his ofIice-bolding friends, af-
fords ine most conclusive evidence OF
his entire ignorance OF the whole sub
ject Of the press. Did he suppose that

understand how any public man could

in prescience, as not TO preceive when

lesson which so many misguided AND
wrong headed rulers have had TO learn
and which is comprised in the two
monosyllabcs: Too Late!

The President seems to be in higt

The President has never been noted fol

as under sombre influences as silent

ton rather treated the occurrences oil
Tuesday as q good joke" The third
term idea she laughed at as the best
joke of the season." Another cores.
pondent describes the source Of all wis.
dom as in earnest consultation with
Mosby, the chief Of the Mostly gurilas
and the successor of Nevada Jones, the
Daniel Webster of Rooster Gulch, in
the confidence of the President. Anoth-
err historian informs US that the Chief
Citizen OF this Republic actually went
to the play. This is in itself striking
indication, as the President is not OF
4 theatrical mind. The play which
attracted the prevailing Washington
was not Of cheerful character. II was
"Lear," and we can fancy our Chief
Magistrate listening with more than Or
binary interest to the lamentations of
tho discr0wned monarch wandering on
the heath and thinking perhaps OF Re-
gan and Goneri as he remembered his
treatment by Conkling and Morton.-
The supposition that The ruler of the
brave and the free was about to go ~.
to sackcloth, recall Kremer and Russell
Jones, order Fred out TO duty on the
Plains with his proper rank, remove
Simmons, change his Cabinet and give
us two years of stirring, busting times,
does not seem to be justified. The sue
cessor of Washington is as calm under
the storm as he was under the rebel
hell-frc in the Wilderness. He is not
afraid. The people cannot seriously
mean to repudiate him or spurn his ad-
ministratior. The twelve years Of adu-
lation and incense and intoxicating
praise cannot surely end in this. 1t
is all a joke, like Uncle Dicks election
TO Congress. The defeat of Butler is a
recompense in its way, and perhaps a
serious event, but the res! is only fun
AS for himself, he does not care much,
and we do not see why he should. He
has had good time. He has had more
money out of the Office than any man
who ever held it, for his pay has been
raised. He has gone through every
mutation Of fame and honor. He ia
sure of two years more, unless impeach.
ment or death supervone, and why
should he carer Let the good time
continue. Close the windows, lock the
doors, let the fires burn up and care
nothing about the storm Without
While it lasts the President has sure

The Philadelphia Sunday Transcript
reels off the following yarn about the
great man at Washington:
Burning the past summer General
Grant, with a number of friends, made
q trout-fshing trip in ono Of tie Mid
die States. In the company was a
qucik, whole-souled Democrat, who
voted for the General in 1872, because
he believed him 10 DO the winning man.
This gentleman and Grant, weary OF
the piscatorial. pleasures, left the party
early in the day and returned 10 the
quarters where they were to spend the
night. Some hours after when the rest
came in, Grant and his Democrtic friend
were found with an emptied whisky
bottle between them, discussing the
propriety Of the General declaring
himself EMPEROR Of tho Nation, his
Democratic friend insisting that Repub.
lican government was failure, and
with an army in command he no. only
could, but ought to at once initiate
Louis Napoleon. When the party en-.
tered this part Of tho programme wai
nearly settled to the satisfaction OF both
when tho President was asked by his
Democratic friend what kind Of son he
had to succeed him in case Of contin.
gencics; whereupon Grant entered
freely into tho discussion OF the abili.
ties OF his boys, declaring emphatical.
| ly that one Of them, at least, was abun.
dainty able to wear q crown.
