GRANTS POSITION.
critical.

There can be no doubt that the leaders of
the Radical party throughout the country are
seriously considering the advisability OF re-
nominating Grant as their candidate for the
Presidency. Driven to a desperate strait
they are looking about for strong candi-
date, and if they can secure one who would
have equal chances with Grant, there is no
doubt that the latter would be shelved. But
with the immense power OF Federal patronage
under his control, he has a small army of
desperate workers, who feel that their future
depends on their patrons reelection, and
who are prepared to do anything to secure
that end.
1t is now an undeniable fact that while
Grant at one time could not tell ochat might
happen, he is now pretty thoroughly satisfied
that the emergency has arisen, and he conse-
quently feels it his duty (0 to allow his name
to be presented for the consideration OF his
party. The prospect of a war with Spain was
looked upon as almost godsend to him, but
Just as the affair seemed ripe for action, 1t was
discovered that sufficient excuse could not
De 1Ound 10 Justlly wax.
The greatest mishap that has occurred to
the President in his aspirations is to be found
in the damaging disclosures made during the
crooked whisky trials in ST. Louis and other
places. Not only have many Of the rascali-
ties been traced directly to his favorites, but
a point is made of the fact that the only
guilty participants SO far discovered in con-
nection with this grand swindle are political,
and in many cases social, associates of the
Executive.
II has been freely stated, and without con-
tradiction as yet, that several times the frauds
have been tracked directly to the door OF the
White House and the trail then was not lost, but
the searchers arrested abruptly in their inves-
LEGATIONS. Grants remark of Let no guilty
man escape" and Babcock's cry of " I am in
nocsnt," have not satisfied the country at
large that the garments of both are not soiled
with the stain of crooked whisky.
The burden of proof has now been thrown
upon the party to whom these high officials
belong, to prove their innocence, and until
they do SO, it may prove very etfectual
damper to the aspirations of Grant, or to the
hopes of success of the party who acknowl-
edge him as their "chiefest and best" by
placing his name at the head of their ticket,
and offering his example as an illustration OF
Radical virtue and fitness for Office.
Any attempt by the Radical party to avoid
the effect of these late disclosures short Of
actual proof of their non-application to their
hero, will prove fruitless effort, and it is a
melancholy comment on the character of the
party representatives that they fear no more
popular party leader can be found than the
man who stands before the country charged
with great villainies, and whose only cry of de-
Tense is command to urge the prosecution OF
other men for the crimes Of which he himself
NAV vet be proven guilty.

1t will be seen by the dispatches this morn
ing, that VIM. NJ Evarts, the great New York
LAWYER, has been selected as the orator al the
opening of the Centennial, at Philadelphia,
in July next. Heury W. Longfellow has been
appointed the poet for the occasion, and the
grandson of Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia,
will read that dreary old document, the
Declaration of Independence.
The average newspaper reader knows who
Evarts and Longfellow are, but, we opine,
few of the present generation are familiar
with the history of Richard Henry Lee.
This glorious old Virginia gentleman had. as
a member of the House of the Burgesse5, the
honor Of originating the first resistance to
British oppression, in the time of the Stamp
Act, in 1765. He was a member Of the First
Congress in IVA, and in October prepared
the draft of the memorial to the people of
British America.
Virginia Convention he first proposed in Con-
gress declaration of independence, June z,
1916 and a committee was appointed to pre-
pare it. The contamination of this on the 4th
of July following, is what the Centennial next
year is designed TO be commemorative of. Il
is most fitting and appropriate that descend
ant of such a man should be assigned to an
active and prominent part in that celebration.

THE LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB.
THE OPENING DAY OF THE FALL MEETING
POSTPONED.

At meeting of the Board of Stewards OF
the Louisiana Jockey Club, held on Thursday
morning, it was wisely determined to post
pone the opening day of races until Tuesday,
December It'll.
The terrible condition of the roads would
preclude the possibility of large attendance,
and the lack of exercise of the horses to be
entered in the races, consequent upon the
frequent rains and the unfavorable condition
of the track, would prevent them from max
ing as good an appearance as they otherwise
would. The members of our Jockey Club
are determined to make this Fall meeting
notable event, and so prefer Justlhabie
postponement to bad track and worse roads.
The time intervening between now and the
races will be taken advantage OF by the Board
of Stewards in still further adding to the at
fractions of the meeting, and we may expect
brilliant meeting of turf favorites and an
elegant and large assemblage of the bellies
and beaux of our city.

The New York Herald, of November 30,
urges upon the University boat crews, in
convention, at Springfield, the propriety Of
taking active measures to secure the at
tendance at the Centennial Regatta of the
Oxford and Cambridge crews and the crew
from the University of Dublin. In this con-
nection we are led to suggest to our own boat
clubs the ACCESSIBILITY of considering the pro-
ject of sending representative crew to enter
in the free-tor-all race to be rowed at the
same time. A very elegant crew might be
chosen from among our best oarsmen, and
New Orleans would have the right to expect
great things from crew SO selected. There
may be something in the idea and we CON-
mend it to the attention of those interested.

News from Bill King.
New York SUM-

There is news from the Hon. William S.
King, of Minnesota, the celebrated individual
who has such valuable information respecting
the Pacific Mail bribery. The intelligence
now received does not exactly bear upon that
subject, but it will be appreciated with inter
est, nevertheless.
Mr.. King was in the city not a great while
since "What?' he inquired of gentleman
whom he met. "Well, answered this gentle
man, who is a firm believer in the innocence of
Mr.. Beecher, Il don't know what to think of
it." "Ah," replied the Hon. Mr.. King, 81 am
afraid it is very bad business. Now, I some
times swear, and occasionally drink whisky,
and may even now and then do other things
that are not quite right; but tell you l am
very sorry for this Brooklyn scandal, especis l.
ly on account of the charm it will do to the
cause of religion"
1t must be great consolation to Mr. King,
in the temporary retirement where he now
avoids an obtrusive notoriety, that he has
always preserved such lively interest in the
cause Of morality and religion.

THE BABCOCK WAR.

The dispute between the insurance compa-
MES and the fire department relative to the
employment of the Babcock fire extingusher
is unfortunate just at this time, when harmony
between two such powerful and popular in
situations is SO desirable. The case has been
submitted to the courts for adjustment, but
the delays always attendant upon the DISPOSE
ton of suits at law will doubtless preclude
speedy settlement of the matter. 1t is for
this reason we would suggest that the whole
case should be submitted to arbitration.
Suppose the insurance companies name
gentleman like Jules Tuyes, Esq, for instance,
and the Fire Department select one from
their number, say Frederick Camerden, Esq,
and to this gentlemen submit the whole case
and abide by their decision. We are Of
the opinion that there would be an early solu-
} on of the vexed question. Will our sugges-
ton be taken?
