POLITICAL.

Ex-Governor Shepard, of Washington,
gave his views about the presidency to a
reporter of the Chicago Tribune last Sum
day. He thinks that Grant does not
want reelection that Conkling proba =
bly, stands the best chance of getting the
republican nomination, with Blaine and
Morton nearly up to him, and that, as it
is not likely that the republican party
will go as far south as Kentucky for a
candidate, BristOw does not stand a
show at ALL"
Republicans in New Hampshire promi-
nently engaged in the management of
the State campaign have telegraphed to
republican Senators that if Secretary
Bristow leaves the cabinet. either by be-
ing forced out or by reslgning, the re-
publicans may abandon all expectation
of carrying the State.

The New York World says IF the res

tee recommending the impeachment and
removal of Governor Ames are not adopt
ed by the Mississippi Legislature, il will
be for reasons of e1pediency, because,
with Democratic Legislature and Trea-
surer, it is believed that Ames's power
for mischief Is effectually held in check.
The evidence is amply sufficient to war
rant his impeachment; Congressman
Wells deposition, which distinctly fast
ems on Ames the responsibility for the
Vicksburg massacre, in itself would be
enough under strict administration of
law to send him to the Jail or the gallows.

The AHurenenfs of Offlce.

Under the Radical control of the gov
ernment, the official patronage has been
increased until it almost equals Oriental
extravaganza and luxury. To man like
Grant such an Office holds out tempting
allurements which he finds it difficult
to resist, and those who have urged,
coaIed, and then threatened him, be-
cause he would not state distinctly and
clearly that he would not accept another
term, have finally concluded to let things
take their course; for it is evident Grant
does not intend to give up his Office if he
can hold it. The allurements of the
office are well stated in a speech by Hon.
A. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky. He
said:
Whom his salary is $4,000 year ;
when he is supplied with palace main
tanned in style of luxury of which Lu-
cullus himself never dreamed, furnished

pense of $4,000; where the very air he

salary of $500 year, with an Assistant
Secretary on a salary of s.. 500 to do the
writing of the Private Secretary, and
two Clerks at $4,500 to do the writing
OF the Assistant Secretary; where he
has Steward at $4,000 per annum to
purvey his table the choicest wines and
the daintest viands that can either tenn pt
or satitate the appetite, and where he is
allowed $4,000 year for books, papers,
periodicals, kilograms and general con
tingencies. What general contingencies
may include do not know bat let us
