who have reached here are unanimously Of
opinion that Grant will be the republican |
nominee, and many of them admit private
ly that 1t will be no easy matter to beat
him. The preparations for third term
are now going on with hardly any attempt
at conceament. The president certainly
means business. - Washington letter to Ne,c

Chief Justice Brown of Maryland, who
walked into the grand saloon of the new
Baltimore city hall, the other day, arm in
arm with Fred Douglass, is the same man
who, as mayor, walked at the head Of the
9th Massachusetts regiment through the
Baltimore streets in April, 1861, and who
was subsequently, imprisoned for a year and
more at Fort Warren.
Gov. Engish's advent into state politics
inaugurated a system of political corrup-
ton never before dreamed of in Connect
cut. 1t was the beginning of money
power In politics which has held the state
in affirm grip ever since. 1t was the intro
duction of Tammany ways and means into
this state, and by perfectly natural law
of affinity, when Mr.. English was inaugur-
ated in 1868, the great Boss Tweed of New
York was his honored guest and rode in
the inaugural procession. --Hartord Cour-

Those who expect the first session of the
Forty fourth congress to be placid, calm
and tranquil one will be much disappointed.
1t will, rather, be a session marked by
stormy antagonisms, bitter recrimination,
intense partsanshp, and remorseless prob

pending contest we shall expect from our
southern representatives conduct consis-
tent with the maryland honorable instincts
which they inherit, and We hope they will

policy and partisan finessing. Or

The talk about advancing Mr.. Jewell or
Mr.. Brstow to the presidency, next year,
suggests the fact that no secretary of the
treasury or postmaster general has ever
reached the position of chief magistrate. In
fact, with two exceptions, the state de-
partment has been the only one whose &C.
cupanls have ever been called to the presi-
dental chair. Altogether, IL precedents
are to be followed. Mr.. Fish is about the
only man in President Grants cabinet who
stands much of chance for the presidency
but the Independent voter is about, and, az
novelties are popular, the beginning OF the
second century may be thought an suspici-
