eral Grant had brought his sense as
an army officer into his duties as President
he would have had as keen an eye to the
Shermans and Sheridans of politics as he
always possessed in military life. His
first mistake was in attempting to organize
an administration from which trained po-
litical capacity was excluded. When
nize this mistake he attempted to
repair it by taking into his counsels low
order of politicians instead of statesmen-a
blunder not less fatal than the one with
which he started. His excusatory plea of
inexperience is in singular contrast to the
ostentatious self-suficiency of his first in
augural address.
In the whole Message sent in yesterday
there is hardly topic of sufficient dignity
or importance to justify comment. So far as
the Message is not mere history or recap
ituation of the official transactions of the
concentrations relate merely to matters
of course or to insignificant details relating
to various branches of administration. 1t
is document which comedies in every line
that it's author has no longer any in
fluence on public measures, and that
he eagerly accepts his approach
ing release from public cares and re-
sponsibilities. No Presidential Message was
ever before composed with SO small an ex-
pense Of political thought. We have never
had President to whom political discussion
was so uncongenial. and he no longer makes
show of doing what he thoroughly dislikes.
We have had military Presidents before
Washington, jackson, Harrison, Taylor
but never one who thought civil affairs
such bore. ''No fish swim SO well AS
those which are bred in the sea" and Gen
eral Grant in civil affairs has been, from
first to last, q fish out of water.
His lack of taste for political life is
equalled by his lack of capacity. Had he
possessed any talent for civil administration
he could not have repeated the stu
pendous blunder he made in Louisi-
ana two years ago. 1t is surprising
that so able soldier should be
so wanting in capacity to profit by his ex-
perience in civil life. The country will
respect and honor his splendid services in
the civil war, although it may be unable to
accept his apologies for the mistakes of his
civil administration.

The Loufsiann Vote.

1t will not surprise any one to learn.
that the Returning Board of Louisiana
have declared the final result of their
count to be in favor Of the republi-
can Presidential electors. BY what means
the conclusion has been reached cannot be
known ut present, rs the work Of the Board
was completed in secret session. Tho deci-
sion will not be satisfactory to the public
mind. So complete reversal of the result
shown on the face Of the returns could only
be justifiable on the clearest proof of such
gross frauds in counties giving democratic
majoritics as to convince all impartial judges
that nothing like fair election had been
held in such counties. Certainly the evil
dence brought before the BOARD in its open
sessions established no such fact, and the
time devoted to the investigation was not
sufficient to enable the Board to arrive at a
fair and honest judgment on so grave an
issue. The matter now rests with tho Con-
gress OF the United States, and it will be
deplorable if some means cannot be found

The Extradition Treaty.

1t is announced by the President in his
Message that he will in few days make
special communication to Congress on The
present condition of the Questions which
lately arose with Great Britain regarding
the surrender of fugitive criminals" Coin
cidently with the making of this an
nouncement our dispatches from London
inform us that the law officers Of the English
government have for some time been occu-
pied with the preparation of amendments
to the treaty of 1912, that they have agreed
upon the draft of what would doubtless be
new treaty, and that this treaty has been
accepted by our government, the commune
cations having all been made by cable From
the fact that the arrest has been ordered in
England Of persons who formerly escaped
by the failure of the treaty it is assumed that
the governments are now in full accord on
the subject There are some reasons for
doubling the report from London-at
least in the precise form in which
it comes. General Grants reference
to extradition might, indeed. be inter-
preted in support of the story. as it seems to
Imply CnaC uepOuluIlOu is ACTUALLY IN prog
ress and that the government will only in
form Congress when this is concluded. But
there are probably other reasons for this
course Nothing is known ut Washington,
apparently, of the proposition to reconstruct
the treaty. 1t must be supposed, therefore,
that Her Majesty's government, better ad-
vised now than formerly, has changed its at
titude with regard to extradition, and pro-
poses to arrest the criminals, so far MS
possible whose surrender has been de-
mandcd. and to act on the treaty as our
government has required. We sincerely
hope this is the case. 1t is greatly disad-
vantageous to countries situated as England
and the United States are that the operation
of so important treaty should be inter
rupted. If it shall prove that England has
thus waived her objections, and removes
from the case the immediate issue on Grim
inals actually in custody, it seems improb-
able that our government will refuse any
fair proposition for the amendment of the
treaty in the sense that England desires

Hor.tio seymour,s speech.

Horatio Seymour is one of the few men Of
the present day whose opinions on great
public questions are looked for with interest
and exercise positive influence over the
public mind. He is SO well trusted by his
party friends that his words are accepted BY
them as doctrinal utterarces. He is SO
much respected by his political oppo-
nents that his reasoning commands
their attention. The speech delivered by
the Ex-Governor before the State cleo
tors yesterday, when called to preside
over their body, will be read with
avidity both by republicans and democrats:
by republicans, because they will find in il
the most emphatic expression of democratic
feeling that has yet found utterance during
the existing crisis by democrats, because
they will seek in it standard by which
to govern their future action. AS a strong
party man Governor Seymour. Of course,
states his party case strongly. He seems
to lay too much stress on the popular ma
jority secured by Mr.. Tilden-an advantage
which counts for nothing under our present
electoral system. But, as statesman, he
argues his case with ability, and it will be
singular if his reasoning does not reach and
affect some honest republican minds.
Governor Seymour replies to the charges
of Wholesale democratic frauds in the cleo
ton, upon which alone the democratic ma
jorities could be expunged with even the
thinnest pretence at justification. He main.
tains that laws made by republicans, enforced
thor r,k av,l ~
can officials, prevailed in the machinery
of the election all over the Union, and
he argues from this fact that any great
and systematized democratic frauds must
have been impossible He arraigns
tho administration for having openly
allied itself with political party,
and, by placing Cabinet officer at the head
of that party's Executive Committee. given
it the power of coercion over the govern
ment office-holders. He insists that an ad-
ministration, taking power from unclean
hands, can never check or lay bare the
frauds Of those to whom it owes its ex-
istence He regards it as shame
and degradation to allow such
body as the Louisiana Returning Board
to subvert the will of millions of voters
The republican party, he says, cannot de-
eide its own case in it's own favor against
the majority of the American people, upon
the certificate Of branded men, without maxi
ing the body of our citizens and the world
at large feel that it is corrupt and
partisan decision. All this is democratic
argument, of course, but there is enough
of truth in some of it to claim the
serious attention of othors than democrnts.
To the republicans Governor Seymour makes
an earnest appeal for justice and to his own
party friends he wisely counsels prudence
and forbearance. To both he says, s'Let us
not fail to be alike sclf-sacrifcing in our
efforts to uphold the honor and the virtue Of
the Republic"
