GRANTS FOLLY.
How His nHemo randum- Is Received in
Washin gIon-fhird Term Talk.


The publication of tic Presidents latest views
on finance cansed the greatest excitement among
members of Congress, without regard to party.
1t was the one subject Of talk in the house yester
day, and though the senate was not IN session,
many of the Senators we're the floor of the
house exchanging vieys with the members.
Conversation was free i9 9tope, aud the epithets
nsed in most instances we're such as were eNclu-
ded from print. The speaker, who has been
zealously working to harmonize conflicting views
in the hope of shaping bill which would be ac-
ceptable to the President, gave expression to his
opinion in a mouOsyllable "Wild! wild!
Would you vote for q hill embodying the Presi-
dents viewsp asked the speaker of Mr.. Conger
of Michigan. II do not feel at liberty to decide
until have consulted Jones'" was the answer,
which Immediately became famous throughout
the house.
The memorandum was called "The royal pro-
clamatiOn," "Repudation made easy" and Il
bid for the third term" Said Nesmtb, of Ore
gon, to Speaker Blaine: "Grant has fianked your
prospects for the presidency for the next term"
and Judge Jewett. Of Columbus, Ohio, who has
been spoken of as the next president of the Erie
road added: "And Tharman's too" Now let
Grant veto the civil rights bill" remarked a ST.
mon pure Democrat, "aud We will run him as
candidate for the Presidency next time"
While the Democrats applauded the Presidents
doctrine, they did not approve of the manner IN
which he bad endeavored to foresiall the action
of the house by an advance veto message" as
they called II.
In conversation with over one hundred mem-
bcrs Of the house, representing all shades of opin-
ion, not one spoke respectfully of the Presidents
course. The conservative element among Repub-
licans from the West, heretofore moderate in ex
pressing opinion about the veto of the finance
bill, are now outspoken in their dennnciations,
and declare the time has come When rupture
must be made with the President; that he has
been controlled all along by the wealthy bank
ers who are his intimate friends, and that it was
in exceedingly bad taste To communicate his
views through Senator whose colossal fortune
is made up of gold and oliver mines. 1t was only
another evidence of his affiliation with capitalists
and want of regard fol the laboring element of
the country.-Hashington Cor. Of the NeW York
Herald.

BRINE FOR BLOoD.-A New York paper tells of
Thurlow Weed recently happening in picture
store, and coming across an old photographic por-
trait of Horace Greedy, whereupon he burst into
tears and lamentations over the memory of the
honest and kind-hearted man. This is all very
affecting; but perhaps it did not oceur to Thur
low Weed, that he did more to injure Greeley and
hasten his death, than any other fifty men in the
United States. Nothing tends to sour and dis
hearten a man, to realize that the hard work
and drudgery of party fall upon his shoulders,
and that he is studiedly ignored and slighted in
the dispensation of favors, to which he is enti,
tied, and which it would reqnre no effort
riice to give him This drudge-work for the
Wing and Republican parties fell to the lot of
Greeley. The special effort of William II. Sew
ard seemed to be, to keep Greeley in the position
of a menial, and reward his labors with insult
and injury. Thurlow Weed was Stewards faith
full bulldog, for years, in worrying ard dragging
Greeley down. They drove him out of the party;
and disappointment and modification at incur
ring the enmity of his lifelong political friends,
FASTENED his death. And now Weed can pick mp
an old portrait of Greeley, and dissolve into tears
over it. 1t helps the thing wonderfully, to kill
man, and then cry over his picture.

~ The Kansas City Times pronOuuces Inde-
pendent and Peoples parties failures, that can
never succeed in carrying out needed reforms /;
but that established parties are the things to
look to- But the State of Kansas, it goes on to
explain, is peculiarly situated, and different
from any other State. Here, it thinks, an Inde-
pendent Peoples party is the great need. This
is the position into which the Times is forced, in
trying to run two States. In Missouri, the De-
mocracy has majority, and they do not propose
to divide with any Peoples parties; but in Kan
sas, the Democrats are pOwerless, and here they
are anxious for Peoples party to help them out
of the drag. The people of Kansas are sharp
enough to see through it,. They have no use for
Peoples parties.

PUBLIC 0PINIoN.-We had heard good deal,
from the newspapers, about the determined op-
position of the people of Kansas to the "Centen-
nial Steal" as they call the proposed aPPropria-
ton in aid of the one hundredth anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence; and we de-
termined to experiment little on this intense
feeling. For month OF more past, we have TAX
en- occasion to ''feel of" persons promiscuousiy
on the subject, whenever we had an opportunity;
and we have sounded good many in that time.
The almost invariable reply has been: "Why, l
hadn't thought anything about it" aud uniform
ly ending with the expression that S3,OOOOO0
would not be any great shakes for the whole
country to contribute; and that it would be a
disgrace to let the hundredth year pass without
the biggest time ever seen in America. And
every one would like to go, if he were only able
This is about the standard of public opinion all
over the State, notwithstanding the newspapers
would have us believe that the people are ripe
for another revolution in order to prevent the ap-
preparation. This "public opinion" as reflected
by the newspapers, is a tremendous thing.

DOUBTFUL TACnCS.-A Lawrence correspond
ent of the st. Louis Globe very manifestly writ
ing In the interest of J. C. Horton for Governor,
adopts q mode of warfare that will not or
ought not to do him any good. The friend
ship We have always entertained for Mr.. Horton,
leads US to hope that lie has not instgated this
system of bushwbacking against his two rivals.
This correspondent charges that Mr.. Smallwood
was the candidate referred to by the Topeka Rec
ord, rs having lost so much money and incurred
heavy debts by gambling. of Gov. Osborn it
charges, that he came to Kansas Pro Slavery
Democrat, and printer by trade, but soon turn
ed up MS q lawyer and a Republican. Whether
the political part of the above be true or not,
would ask, how many of the best Republicans in
Kansas came here as DemOcTats-many of them
Pro-Slavery Democrats at that-but got their
eyes open, and have ever since been sound Repub-
licansi Why, Jim Lane, who had more power in
the Republican party of Kansas than any other
Thousand men in the State, came with the orig
inal intention of buying slaves and assisting to
make Kansas a Slave State. But how stands
Horton, according to his own cOnfessiOni Com
ing here Republican, and witnessing the Dem
ocratc Outrages, he, in 1864, at the most critical
period Of the Rebellion, when Republican de-
feat would have been disastrous TO the Union,
opposed the reelection of Abraham Lincoln, and
voted for McClellan-and did this, too, for the
poor, pitiful reason, that Gen. Lane, whom he
disliked, had too much influence with Lincoln!
Osborn came here a poor lsbOring man, and so
did Horton. Both got up in the world, Osborn
by profitable contracts, and Horton by speculat-
ing in bonds.
The correspondent eoolly winds up with the
assertion that if Smallwood or Osborn is nOmi-
ated for Governor, he will be beaten-that the
only man who can succeed is Horton. This is
simply bosh. If either Osborn, Smallwood or
Horton is nominated, be will be elected by a
large majority.
