The real trouble Of the Republican
party Of Ohio is well and concisely
stated by the Cleveland Herald. They

PHILADELPHIA has been electing dele
gates to the Pennsylvania Republican
State Convention, with the usual result.
There are forty-six delegates, and all but
tive are ofice-holder.
The Pennsylvania State Treasury was
turned over to Democratic incumbent
the first Monday in May. But the Re
publicans had enectually cleaned it out,
leaving but one dollar and seventy six
cents in the vaults.
The question is agitated whether
Grant, in showing Morton extraordinary
favor., is desirous Of getting him out Of
the way for 1876, or whether he proposes
to nullify Morton's influence in Indiana
by making himself strong by the appoint
ment Of prominent men of that State to
fat Offices
A NEw YORK Tribune correspondent
describes visit to the White House in
company with delegation of Congress
men. Coon the President came in with
a cigar in his mouth nodded at some of
the persons present, shook hands with
Others, and while they resumed seats he
pulled away the tobacco smoke. The
Oldest member of the delegation could
hardly restrain his Indignation. He
whispered, II have been about the Cap
ital for many years, and under different
administrations, but have seen nothing
to compare with this"
A GRANT newspaper may be taken As
certainly opposed to Carl Schurz. The
Washington Republican, in speaking Of
his departure for Europe, wishes him
speedy voyage now, but no return, as
follows: "May fair winds wait the
ship that bears him, and the welcome of
his friends in Europe be 50 warm as to
induce him to stay among them. Great
as he believes himself to be in the line
of reform, we can very well spare him."

making an effort to seize the Hot Springs
of Arkansas. A Receiver is to be ap-
pointed. That would make nice place
for Morton. When the Government
takes charge we trust that law will be
passed making the Springs free to Sena-
tors and members Of Congress. 1t will
be better for them than the franking
privilege.
NEW YORK Tribune: 1t is now said
that the removal of Commissioner Doug
lass from the Internal Revenue Bureau is
due to a discovery that his business is
sadly in arrears, and that cases of known
fraud on the Government have not re-
ceiyed proper attention by him. Gu
riously coincident with this report, comes
the rumor that the delinquent Commits
sioner is to be made Sixth Auditor of
the Treasury, the explanation being, ap-
parently, that whatever may be his
shortcomings, his capacity is superior to
that of the incumbent he is to super
sede.
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS sue
cessor is Pierrepont New York lawyer,
who contributed twenty thousand dollars
toward the election of Grant. Some of
the Young men connected with the Co
lumbus newspapers saw Pierrepont " prac.
ticed ~ law for a few wears in that c;tv in
early life. If they look at the trial
docket of Franklin county during the
wears 1889 while Pierrepont remained
in Columbus. thew NAV find that he WAS
a member of the bar. but we think thew
will fail to find that he practiced" law
much. He came West but neither his
style or tastes were adapted TO his new
locality. and he went hack greatly To his
own advantage.
