The Washington Chronicle, Grants
lying organ, in burst of ballled ma
llgnity suggests Hon. Jefferson Davis
as candidate for president. Keep
your temper, gentlemen.
General w. r.. Shachan, of issouri,
formerly of the federal army, who rem
dered his name Infamous by his con-
nection with the shooting Of the con-
federate Palmyra prisoners, and other
outrages during the war, died lonely
death in New Orleans recently, after
denying his guilt.
The New York Tribune says: "The
verdict of the country against Grant
ism Is delivered. There We're only two
great questions before the people at
this election. One was whether the
administration deserves the public con-
fdence, and the other whether it
ought to be perpetuated. They have
both been answered in the negative, so
loudly that even the president must
hear the verdict"
The New York Sun says: eve for
bear further details of the great revo-
luton. Suffice it to say it is the end of
Grant and Grantism. 1t gives the fin
ishing blow to a third term for Grant.
If he is impeached by the new house
of representatives, US he certainly
ought to be, there will be far more
probability that he will not serve out
his second term than that he will have
third. OF course the unconstitu-
tional features of the gag-law will now
be repealed"
The New York Times says: "All
that could be done honorably to avert
this defeat has been done by us, but
since the last presidential election
many of the party leaders have been
deaf alike to advice and remonstrance.
They have apparently believed that
the people would quietly submit to
anything and everything, and that
the party which they represented was
indestructible. Nothing short of the
events which we record this morning
could have opened their eyes to the
truth. If newspaper warned them
in a friendly but firm spirit against the
policy of blundering which they were
pursuing, it was treated with a mix
ture Of the insolence and arrogance
which they exhibited toward all op-
position. The immediate friends of
the administration possessed them
selves of an "organ" at Washington,
and filled it with disgusting ISLANDERS
and bespotted arguments in favor of
Gen. Grant fora "third term" 1t will
be the lot Eof the president to discover,
in common with many great mon
who have gone before him, that fool
ish flatterers and venal newspapers
cannot turn aside the current of public
opinion. The truths which he and his
immediate supporters refused to hear
from the lips of friends they must now
listen to-day from the people at the
polls"
The Chicago Tribune says: GAS the
republican party became stronger it
drew more and more of the vicious and
unprincipled mem bers of the commu-
nifty into its ranks, and its own origin
al ingredients became tainted by the
contact. In short, the party leader
ship has become corrupt and rotten,
not everywhere, but in the main. 1t
has become so corrupt that leading
journal in Washington City, one sup
posed to reflect more nearly the views
of the administration than any other,
has the eff'rontery to denounce all in
vestigation into public abuses as party
treason, and to stigmatize Dawes and
Garfield, who have certainly not distin-
guished themselves to the same extent
that Hercules did in the Augean sta
bles, as imbeciles, towards and turn
COdtSs lHC vi SIChcIdl
Grant has been not only singularly
stolid and Indifferent to this corrupt
tendency Of the times, but has been an
active participant in it. The country
has become convinced of this fact
was convinced of it two years ago, but
could not then express its conviction,
for The reason already stated. 1t has
found ut last an opportunity to utter its
emphatic malediction upon this loath-
some state of public affairs. 1t has
combined into one, vast overwhelming
sentence of condemnation its verdict
upon Credit Mobilier, salary-grab, San
born frauds, syndicates, Boss Shep-
herd, Secor, Chorpenning, custom
house blackmailing, carpetbaggery and
third term. There is gothing more to
he said on any of these subjects"
