This communication evidently emanates from
Consul Wilson, who probably seized the oppor-
tunity ITO inCratiate himself with Mr.. washburne.
Perhaps he hoped thereby to assist MIR. Wash
burne's candidacy In America. Well, we have
no objection TO please him by feprinting the
Nuremberg prophecy.
Washburne has for years been regarded by tue
Republicans a. the sole prominent Republican
whom they could fall back upon In case Of need
for election In 1876 His principal recommenda-
ton Is the same that procured old buchanan the
Democratic candidacy In 1855 u consists In the
fact that he has been abroad for number Of
years, and therefore had no opportunities to
compromise himself OF become worn out. What
Is well known of Washburne besides Is that in
Congress, whose NestOr he was, he always stood
up for honesty and economy; his nickname
1.-THE watch dog OF the Treasury "-oonyeys the
most honorable acknowledgement OF his public
services. His post AS ambassador IN France
he has filled with honor To himself and his
country. Charles Louis Bernays writes In the

above communication OF the NureNbcrgcT Prose- /:

Mr.. Bernays, we believe, errs In supposine
that MIR. Washburne cannot Obtain the candi-
dacy OF his party on account Of his long absence
as we take II, the reverse Is the faot. Just nc
cause Washburne has been absent so long, and
consequently Is exempt from the taints In re-
gard TO the disputed questions which have oo-
cupied the last Ave years OF our political life, he
probably will be the man by whose coat tail tho
Republican party VIII try TO scramble from the

years have tried TO Tide on two horses running
In opposite direotions2 or Blaine, or WILSON,
They would not draw In the West. Or perhaps
even Schuyler Colfax2 We also believe that
neither Mr.. WashOurne nor any other man can
save his party II tho opposition accepts the Now
York platform and makes ridden their caudi-
date. Butthe bringing forward of these two men
would be piece Of good fortune for tho country,
he 5ause Washburne despises the pAner money
swindle quite M much "a ilden, and insists W.
hrnlY and decisively on the preservation oi our
national honor and honesty. The plpor-money
swndle, which Is so misohieVous 10 the good
name and credit of tho country, would not be
supported nv the lenders of tho two great con-
tending parties. Under these circumstances
the Presidential election would exercise no
damaging nor impeding influence on the revival
OF general confidence, that II, the recupeTation
OF national industry. This Is the most favor
BILE position that can be hoped for In 1876
