A Grant EulOgiSt.

With all the severe and uncharitable crti-
csm which it has become fashionable to
bestow upon President Grant there are yet
hosts of men, especially among the returned
soldiers, who still idolize the great, silent
warrior having full faith in his wisdom and
integrity. One of those sends us the follow
ing, written by Long Branch correspondent,
which we cheerfully publish
President Grant is like matron whose years
are rounded, her children grown, her vanity at
rest her beauty beyond unhoy passions and her
repose nbrokeu by suitors, enemies rivals, or
discords lie is sitting in the afternoon Of great
life. Perfect in health, strong in frame, capable
Of enjoyment past sensitiyeness honored in his
family, known and considered by the world, ter
ribe yet to public enemies, illustrious in war,
steady, simple, and efficient in peace, with years
to live, and other inimitablo years hinging their
fiery reflections OF battle upon him, he presents in
this autumnal haze the pleasantness and the so-
lemnity Of career accomplished lie is the Wild
over Of dead period lie walks the shore like
one whose resolute and heroic bride was drowned
The standards Of the war like the hanging. of
her bridal bed, are rotting. The marshals and
peers who held her trail and gave him precedence

" lie had secrets with Lincoln and treaties with
Bismarck and Napoleon. lie took the sword Of
Lee and the allegiance Of Iongstreet Seward
and Chase were his subordinates. Stanton put no
slight upon him. King William and the Car ad-
dressed him as /" Great and good friend" lie
was at the graves of his enemies, Greeley and
Sumner and Of mighty warriors like Thomas and
farngut. The archives of State and Of foreign
States, the books and literature OF tine time, and
thousands Of commissions for future men Of fame
are filled with his name. In the short and stately
line Of Presidents, he is the only one since Jackson,
who has served out two whole terms or nearly a
twelfth Of the century Of our Independence, and
more than eleventh of the span Of all our Chief
Magistrates. lie therefore seems to me a very
solemn and remarkable study as he has come
here for the last time as President to enjoy the
air of the only privacy he has had in fifteen years
II he were not a remarkable man in himself-if
he were much of that which his abusers alego in
low understanding and anlliation-stil he would
be, by association, of the greatest figures Of
this country. For political greatness is only the

Found WANTING.-Senator Booth, of
California, says " Studying the democratic
party, we find il the same as it was in 1860,
1861, 1865 and 1872, unchanged, unregener-
ated, unrepentant. Therefore / think it
ought to be destroyed. | confess, without
shame, that have longed for the day when
the political organizations of this country
should not perpetuate, even by their names,
the memories of our civil war; when the
discussions of the war, its passions and
hatreds, should be buried with the dead
when its awful destruction of life should be
remembered as a common sorrow, neces-
sary sacrifice, an expiatory offering made To
freedom and Union, which no craftsmanship
could avert in conflict of ideas which was
inevitable; but have deep and abiding
sense that while the democratic party main
tains its political organization, perpetuates
its old traditions, insists upon coming into
power, triumphant, with music playing, ban
ners flying, exulting in all it has DONE re-
GREETING all that it has failed to prevent, the
Republican party can no more afford TO dis
band, TO relax its high purpose or great en-
deayor, than the Union army could afford to
lay down its arms in the presence of the
armed hosts of the rebellion"

For the rest, Mr., Schurz has no engagement
with the National Committee which the
committee can cancel. His engagements
have all been with State Committees.
Secretary Chandler has also denied that
General Bristow had submitted categorical
or other questions to him regarding the at
tacks alleged to be in preparation against
him, Bristow, nor has Chandler any knowl
edge that Bristow has abandoned or will

DEMocRArIc EvlDENcE.-The Brooklyn
Argus, which up TO the time of the St. Louis
convention was as consistent as it was an
able democratic newspaper, is now well
known and formidable opponent of Samuel
j. Tilden. 1t is still democratic sheet, ex.
cept in that respect, and it explains its
course in opposing Tilden both before aud
since the convention, by stating some very
strong points, as follows ave knew that
the Republicans would not vote for a man
who, as chairman Of a state committee, beat
their candidate for Governor of this state by
ordering the ballot boxes to be stuffed with
thirty-seyen thousand false ballots we knew
that the Republicans would not vote for a
man who was opposed TO a vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war and who was traitor to the
cause, aud we knew that the democrats who
went 10 the war, who sent their sons ald
brothers TO the war, and who paid their
taxes with religious conscientiousness would
never support man then worth his millions
who hid away his property, refused to pay
his taxes, swindled the government, and left

SUPPOSE, gentlemen of the South, you had
won in the war that you had captured
Washington, Gettysburg, Philadelphia and
New York, and we of the North, defeated
and conquered, had lain PROSTATE at your
feet, DO you believe that by this time you
would be ready and willing to entrust TO us
our Garrisons, our Phillipses aud our
Wades, and the great array of those who
were the leaders of our thought-to entrust
to us the fruits of your victory, the enforce
ment of your doctrines of state sovereignty
and the work of extending the domain OF
slavery DO you think so : Aud If not,
will you not pardon us when we tell you that
We are not quite ready to trust the precious

Sourn CAROLINA PoLITIos.-The Re
publicans of South Carolina, after deliber-
ating two days, have nominated Daniel IL.
Chamberlain for Governor, and mean to
elect him by a splendid majority. The wis
dom Of this choice is so apparent that it is
difficult to imagine the arguments which
could have been used in favor of his compel
itor. Governor Chamberlain has made an
energetic aud efficient executive, and will
command the vote of the best element in the
state. Wade Hampton, the murderer of
Colonel Cameron, is his opponent. The lat.
ter was nominated by the democrats on ac.
count of his rebel record. lie represents
the spirit of the Tilden campaign, while
Chamberlain represents the spirit and pur-
pose Of the Hayes campaign.

Tweed's Arrest.

Minister Cushing says the arrest was made
at the instigation Of our government, and
that il was all arranged that he should be
taken into custody Immediately on his ar
rival at Vigoi and that furthermore, It was
planned that he should be surrendered to
the American government, Notwithstanding
the fact that there is no extradition treaty.
1t was minister Cushing himself who OBJ

heard that the " Boss " was likely TO come

Of course the Governor, in the absence Of the

OBITUARY. Robert BarDwell Rhett, who
has just died in Louisiana at the age of
sixty-one was one Of the orignators and
most active promoters of the secession move
ment in South Carolina. As attorney-gen-
eral of South Carolina, he co.operated with
Calhoun in rehabilitation movement. Soon
afterward he was elected to Congress, where
he sat for two terms, and in 1850 was chosen
to the United States Senate. Daring hi.
Congressional career he evinced great bitter
ness on the slavery question, aud was a per
sistent advocate of the right and propriety Of
secession. lie was leading member of the
South Carolina convention which passed the
| ordinance of secession. During the war, a,
the owner of the Charleston NerctUy, Of
which his son was the editor, he gave Wig
orous support to the confederate cause, and
on the surrender of Lee, retired to the OBJ
security in which he has just died.

BUSINESS OuTLooK.-The New York
Graphic says There is unquestionably a
better state of feeling in mercantile circles
The cheapening Of coal, the renewal of work
in the manufacturing districts, the some
what higher prices for certain lines of goods,
the presence of local dealers in our city in
unusual numbers the best August business
for three years, all tell their story of legit-
innate business springing up, caused by the
large crops and short stocks in many lines
of manufactured goods, If Hayes and
Wheeler ara elected the contracting process
will go on, and all inflated bubbles will be
pricked. 1t is better for the country that it
should be so. The spectacle of improve
ment in general business and the decline of
stock values is not an uncommon one in
commercial communities, and we are likely
TO witness it for some time to come. The
contraction which is going on will make it
very hard for people who are in debt but
those out of debt who sell for cash can do a
safe and profitable business.

SOUTHERN TEsrNoNY-John Tyler, Jr.,
of Virginia, who sided with the rebellion
in a recent letter to a friend on the present
political situation, says There is an
alarming feature associated with the support
of Mr.. Tilden which, as Southern man,
seems to me full of dreadful import, prog
nosticating another deluge of blood and de
struction to the South, while shaking the
Union to its center. The Southern States
are arraying themselves sectionally again on
the Presidential issue, as in 1850, relying
upon the democracy of the North and West
again to stand firmly by them in the event
of further sectional antagonism. will not
follow them in this combined course of by
pocrisy, duplicity aud madness, and | make
the prediction here and now, that should
they succeed, as they hope to do, in making
the South unit for Tilden, there will
quickly arise in the North another general
and determined effort upon the government
in reference to the negroes, to expel the ne
groes from the South, reducing the value of
the lands Of the South to mere song"
