THE UNION LEAGUE on BELhNAP-ANL


THE UNION LEAGUE on BELhNAP-AND
CONHLIhG.
The Union League Club. at one of its
largest and best attended meetings. spoke,
last night, the word for the hour. 1t con-
demned with frank and manly emphasis the
misconduct Of the Administration, welcomed
and encouraged the investigations in progress,
protested against packing the New-fork
delegation to the National Convention for
Conkling, and served notice that if necessary
its members would bolt Radical and almost
revolutionary as such utterances seem from
what were lately supposed 10 be the Admins
tration headquarters, they assume yet greater
importance when it Is added that they were
adopted with much enthusiasm and without
dissenting vote. The Custom-house people
were present in force, but some Of them re-
tired early in the debate, and the rest did not
even raise their voices to utter solitary Mo-
when the vote was taken. The speeches OF
Judge EmOtt, Park Goodwin George Walker,
james G.. Carter and others. were even more
emphatic than the resolutions and the temper
of the meeting was fully up to tho tone Of the
speakers.
II is easy to say Il told you soto remind
warned of what would come from the reelec
ton of Grant and implOred to aid in prevent
ing that calamity. But we prefer to let con-
siderations of that sort pass. There can
be no question that the Club is on the right
course now, and men who agree as to present
duties would be very foolish if they spent
their time in talking about how some OF them
improved or neglected past opportunities
There is no body of men in the State OF New
York who have the right to the political
influence of the Union League Club.
1t is an influence which its members have
always intended TO exert Oh the side OF pure
RepublicaniSm and a pure Administration. II
their efforts are no concentrated and wisely
directed, they may even yet be sufficient
to deter the foolish partisans who pro-
pose to pack the Convention two weeks
hence for Mr. COnkling. They will at any
rate be sufficient to teach the men in tenn
porary control, whether in New-York OF
Washington, which way the real and rightful
leaders of the Republican party are tending.

Mr., Orvil l.. Grants testimony on the subject
of Indian pOst-tradershps has the merit OF
candor. He has used his influence rs the brother
of President Grant to secure partnerships at
several different posts this influence, whatever
it is, being taken in lieu of capital by the
other partners. The profits which Mr.. Grant
has drawn from these appointments have of
course been made by overcharging the Indians OF
supplying inferior goods. The testimony seems
to make it apparent that Mr. Grant was alded
in obtaining the partnerships by the Presidents
knowledge of Indian affairs. There is a strange
similarity between these transactions and those
of ex-Secretary Belknap, and the new DIS
closures seem likely to create an equally deep
and painful interest.

THE RETIREMENT or Don CARLOS
The manifesto of Don Carlos AZ he went
over the Pyrenees to the French border may
excite good deal of derision just now, but it
requires only moments reflection on the his
tory of Spain 10 show that he is perfectly jus
tilted by the past in his expectations of the
future. 1t seems rather ridiculous for one so
utterly beaten and discounted to talk of his
generosity in relinquishing the struggle, and
of his reserved rights and hopes. But We cam
not help remembering that the absurd in
Spanish politics is not always the improbable
The events which drove Isabel Segunds out
of Spain were "a insignificant az any of the
chances upon which Don Carlos evidently re-
lies, and the intrigues by which Don Alfonso
was brought back from Paris wore too con-
temptble TO excite the apprehensions Of any
one. But theV succeeded, and converted .

EMr GordOD's resolution proposing change
in the mode of applying the whisky tax and a
recognizing of the excise corps, had an iunO-
cent look, SO far as partisan politics are con-
cerned. But Republican Senators saw in it a
petard to blow up the party, and flung back
the dangerous continuance with great display
Of energy. There seem to be very few topics
in either House that do not raise a merely
partisan discussion.

out and said; .-....s-.-4ss=.---s--ass
