If this is not directly taking the path it is tho

ever known in our history. Republican insti-
tutions could receive no severer shock than
another canvass for General Grant Whatever

ment almost too young for traditions, and
too impulsive for reverence, surrounds the
legend which is even more than law, that the
Office of President shall not be made per-

there is only an imaginary line between

ject that he will not read any newspaper
which discusses it One distinguished editor
quotes him as having "distaste" for the
theme. These are all good signs, but they
are not manifest to the country. Let the
President make them manifest. He knew how
to do it in finance Here is question no less
important, not o mere matter Of administra-
ton, but one affecting the existence and
continued security Of our government.
A letter from the President to Senator
Jones or to any other Senator enterprising
enough to coax him into correspondence,
written, let us add, in the most impatient
temper and declaring that under no circum-
stances would he accept another nomination,
would be the browning act Of his life. Is it
beneath his dignity? Well, it was not be-
meath the dignity OF Washington, Jefferson
and jackson to give expression to their feel
ings on the subject, and General Grants dig
nifty viii never suffer by following these illus
trious examples.
Thus there are lines Of new departure for
both parties. Let the democrats and repubi-
cans show the wisdom we would teach them in
this the outset Of the great campaign, and we
shall have brighter skies and clearer field
and canvass fought upon higher plane OF
political principle than any we have had for

Electrical Storms and summer Augu-
The numerous and severe electrical storms

the country afford the first distinct augury Of
the summer. On the other side bf the Attain

proverb, can English SUMMERTIME hot days

mospheric electricity in the frequent storms
to which we allude, contrary to the opinion of
many of the weatherwise, must be considered
as an effect rather than q cause.
The most approved researches show that the
electricity OF the clouds is generated during
the condensation of vapor into rain, and Is
proportional to the amount Of rainfall In
this view, it seems, we are to regard the thun-
der storm as an indicator of the presence and
quantity of vaporfn the regions aloft, where it
is stored away, ready to be condensed into the
fertilizing and refreshing rain drop. 1t is the
normal observation in thunder storms to see q

downpour of rain. The abrupt precipitation
of hail is almost always preceded by vivid cleo
trical displays, followed by Ae thunder clap.

Mr.. Buffers bill to place in the greedy
hands Of Congress the profitable job of dis
tributing at its will the fifteen million dollars
in gold obtained from the British government
under the pretence that it Was an award to
meet certain specified losses by the acts of the
Anglo Confederate privateers, was substituted
for the Senate bill by the House yesterday by
vote of 1872 to 1O1. The final action of the
House was marked by those coarse person.
alities in debate which the Massachusetts,
Representative has substituted for the bowie
knife and revolver discussions of former days.
The people are getting accustomed to hear
charges of corruption banded about between
members and are probably seldom disposed
to question their justice. Thus, when Mr..
Butler insinuates that the insurance compa-
MES are bribing members to guard their
interests in the distribution Of the award,
no one is inclined to doubt him, because
they feel assured that, just or unjust
no interest can b protected in Con-
gress unless it pays for protection. At
the same time every person knows that the
largest margin is afforded by the private
claims, many of which have been already sold
for q song and others of which have been made
into promising pools for Congressional
profit Before this British gold is finally dis
posed of the country will feel that its honor
