CRN1R IND POMPEY.

There can no longer be serious doubt that
some Southern politicians have been, if they
are not still, looking toward Grant with the
liveliest interest as their possible candidate in
1875. Whether the President himself is party
to their schemes may perhaps be questioned.
He has been the worst enemy they ever
had since the fall of Jefferson Davis.
He created the usurpation in Louisiana,
fomented the disorders of South Carolina,
and is more responsible than any one
other man for the misgovernment of Ala
bama, Arkansas, Texas, and other recon-
structed States 1t is only few weeks since
he treated with gross indignity the Committee
of Southern gentlemen who came to him with
a respectful petition for relief; aud it is
pretty certain that he could not have enter

duce such state of prosperity as exiSted
throughout the civilized world in 1872 Mean
while the immediate consequences OF good
harvest in both Europe and America may DC
productive of incOnveniences to our western
farmers, and, conformity with other circum-
stances, to the general trade of the country.
The United States are great sellers OF gram
and provisions in ordinary years. fall OF
25 per cent in breadstuffs operates injurously
upon the producers and carriers. 1t makes
them less able to pay their debts and COM
pes them to restrict their purchases OF manu-
factured goods and other articles Of commerce.
The ordinary mortal spends all, or very nearly
all, he gets. Only the few save. Whatever.
therefore curtals the money which has been
enormously said to "fructifyn in the pockets
of the people checks the consumption of mcr-
chandse and tends to produce dull times.
And it is not only the consumption OF mer-
chandse by farmers and those dependent
upon the custom of farmers which is likely to
fall below high-water mark. The price of
cotton has been low for nearly year, and
bids fair to continue depressed. Moreover
that great industry. the iron manufacture,
still remains PROSTATE. 1t seems to us that
present and prospective low prices of all
articles consumed by laborers is a reduction
of wages. But wages are not reduced in
good times. On the contrary they are in
varaby advanced in such times. If wages
are TO be reduced times must continue to be
dull for a while.
Considering, therefore, that the whole COM
mercial world is stimulated and depressed by
slow working influences, which, like the sun
shine and the air, have no boundaries re-
membering that the transitions from prostra-
tion to eyaltatiOn have hitherto usually been
provOkingly gradual, and believing that many
obstacles still exist IA both hemispheres to that
full working of the industrial machinery which
requires every mans labor and supplies every
mans rational wants, we cannot join in those
cheerful predictions of impending prosperity
which, it is said. will overflow the country at
or before the time Congress meets Weeks
before the panic, we warned Our readers. 1t
was not grateful task; but those who
needed us have had reason to be grateful
since. 1t would be far pleasanter now to
prophesy smooth things. But our readers
look to us for what is true rather than what
is pleasant, and have a right to demand
that we shall point ont the actual situation
aal prospects rather than what we and they
alike should be glad to have them We ex-
pect revival of business to begin to mani
fest itself this Fail, but we do not expect to
plunge at once into the full tide of such
apparent prosperity as the country was riding
upon in the Winter and Spring OF 1873.

business men.

common sense) the fantest expectation OF
becoming the candidate of Southern party
But strange alliances are brought about some-
times in the exlgencies OF politics, ana there
is no earthly reason to suppose That Gen.
Grant. who vacillated between the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties in 1863 until he
had satisfied himself which of them could bid
tbe HIGHER. would not listen with entire salts
faction to these proposals for third term
from the men who have been heretofore his
bittercst opponents. Certainly he has gwen
no hint that he is dlspleased Win the plans Oh
his new friends
But if the South takes Grant will it get
what it expects7 lie is proposed as the can
didate of the White Mans party, and it is to
he his mission to relieve the reconstructed
states from the miseries of negro domination.
He is to overturn Kellogg, Pinchback, Casey,
Packard Durel, Moses, Spencer. and host
of other scandalous persons lie Is TO restore
the rule of the long disfranchlsed whites.
Above all, he is to veto the Civil Rights bill,
if Congress should pass it, and so lay the
specter of negro equality. The advocates of
third term arc willing to take Caesar
on condition that he will deliver them
from Pompey. And they seem to make
no doubt that he will agree to the
bargain. "Of all the Northern leaders," says
The Richmond Dispatch, "Gen. Grant is the
"ony one whose record is not blurred by his
"course upon this question of Civil Rights.
"We hone and believe that Gen. Grant will be
"strengthened in his purpose to veto that bill
"if it should be passed by Congress" Well,

last Message he distinctly recommended the
Civil Rights bill, and in his second Inaugural
Address he used the following unmlstakable
language: "The effects of the late civil war
"have been to free the slave and make
"him citzan. Yet lie is not possessed of the
"ciyil rights which citizenship should carry
"with it. This is wrong and should be cor
{" rected. TO this correction I stand committed
$50 far as Executive influence can avail.
"Social equality is not subject to be legis-
"lated upon, nor shall ask that anything be
"done to advance the social status of the
"colored man, except to give him fair
"chance to develop what there is good in him.
"Give him access to schools, and when he
"travels let him feel assured that his conduct
"will regulate the treatment and fare he VIII
receive"
"To this correction | stand committed" "
Extraordinary feats have often been performed
by candidates driven to the necessity of swal-
lowing their old professions but we really do
not see how the President can manage this
very tough morsel from his address OF 1873.
There is certain appearance of conscience
and decency which politicians must preserve
even i'm their most monstrOuS bargains. We
do not believe Gen. Grant would make the
surrender which these preposterous Southern
ers ask of him and if he did we are sure the
American people would manifest their disgust
i'm the most unequivOcal manner.
