The Coming Man for I'resldesnl

Tho Cincinnati Gaelic seems TO be Of
thu opinion that 1t Ia about time to begin
to look about for a proper Presidential
candidate for 1870, and sets forth in
formidable array the following requisites
for the coming man. He must be a man
with a national reputation, and a charac.
ter, both political and personal, which
will make bis supporters secure from the
liability Of being thrown upon tho le-
tensivo. lie must have the Intellectual
requirements, tho experience In public
affairs, and the demonstrated capacity
which entities him to the rank Of astates-
man. He must have a history Of fidelity
to the principles Of freedom, Of Omancipa-
ton, Of equal political rights, and Of the
supremacy Of the national constitution.
lie must be man Of such natural eleva-
ton Of yiews as will accept the Presidcn-
tial office, not az reward Of merit not
rs thing for personal enjoymeRtj not
as a prize from which to dispense TO
personal friends; not even as q means
oirewarding his political supporters, or
of supporting the party which elected
him; but as q high public trust, to be adj
ministored for the general welfare. He
must be man Of such firmness Of char
acter and such beGtting official reserve ai
will keep the base order Of managing
politicians at n prOper distance; will
abash the olEicc.seeking hOrdei will iii
the affair Of appointments from the con
troll Of the wirc.$orkers and the strife oI
personal iuyoritisln, and will remit II tc
be regulated by rules making the public
service the first consideration. He mus
have dignity Of conduct which vii
give a. high tone 70 tho Administration
and to Congress, and will tolerate nj
official or personal associates whose rep
utation does not entitle them tothccotn
try's respect. His nomination must come
not through combinations Of managers
not through any scheme to direct a Presi
dental succession or create n polltlca
dynasty; but as the result Of the delibera
ton Of the people. lie must hav'
such statesmanlike qualities that 1t
bis course in the affairs Of the untrahqui
sections ho will regard neither persona
nor party tayorites or fortunes, but viii
consider only the Establishment OF th'
principles Of constitutional liberty III
must be man whose reputation fol
statesmanship and for high patriotic ainil
will be accepted as aresponse to the popu
lar longings for peace, security, the reigr
oilaw, and the subofdination Of polltlca
disturbance and animosities to the thing
Of material prosperity. He must carry
to the national mansion house the per
sonal dignity Of George Washington ant
John Adams and their families, inSteat
otany representation of political denh
sogism, shOddy vnisiti.y, Of batkwcod
unconthness.
This Ia a formidable array Of qualilieI
demanded for the coming candidate. Th'
man will be rather hard to find In oui
present crop Of statesmen. The Gdstit
does we'll in entering upon the search a
this early day.

The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. to-day appointed MIR. IL. II. Var
van, of Indiana, To be chief of divi-
sion of the internal revenue bureau,
which will have specially in charge
the detection of frauds. This work is
of the highest importance. MIR. Var
yam was quite prominent in the recent
exposure of the frauds of the whiskey
ring, and in Il long service rs special
agent, has won n most enviable repu-
tation for fidelity and shrewdness, hav-
ing had extraordinary success in the

Supervisor Mum, of Illinois, arrived
here to-day to find if there were any
charges against him on file in the
treasury. He was informed that there
were no such charges, but upon init.
nations received from the secretary
he will at once tender his resignation.
Rumors have been afloat all day con-
corning another raid0 the whiskey
ring, but internal revenue andtreasury
officers are very reticent concerning
their plans. 1t is not thought, howeV-
err, that there will be any decided blow
struck, for distillers everywhere are on
the lookout, and have probably de
streyed all the documentary evidence
against them they could reach, after
the warning of last week. The matter
has been turned over to COMMISSIONS

crusades himself, and arrange for all

reau has also been relieved from fur

agents. The late seizures have pr0vid-

RREuKENRIDGEI ~ DEAD.
John G.. Breckenridge died at his ma
tive home in Lexington, Kentucky,
May II, 1875, only forty hours ago.
Though not unexpected, the event will
carry II pang to every true heart in
these United States. That such man
a son of the great west, endowed
both by nature and education with eX-
traordnary attributes and distinguish
ed so early in life Iy brilliant service
in the councils and cabinet of the
country, rs well us in the field, should
die in the prime of life in his fifty
fifth years. II source of profound grief
to all who appreciate the noble in life.
No man in the past history of our coun-
try, at so early an age, has ever had a
more brilliant or honorable career.
Twice elected to congress as a strict
democrat in the old wing district OF
Henry Clay--once over the celebrated
Robert =. Letcher, and again over the
venerable Leslie Coombes-in 1856 he
was elected vice president of the United
States. For four years he. presided
over the senate with dignity and ac-
ceptability never equalled except by
John G. Calhoun and George Clinton.
From that exalted position he was
transferred by his native state to seat
in the senate over which he had pre-
sided, and there he stood when the
war commenced. At the last moment,
and only when all hope of reconcilia-
ton had fled, he resigned his seat
and took service in the confeder-
ate army. His gallantry, noble
