Grants Last Chance.

A last opportunity is now afforded TO Gen.
GRANT 10 retrieve his character and re-
gain something of the respect which the
people felt for him eight years ago; but to
DO this he must adopt radical measures
and act nj once.
Let him send adrift Measurer BABcocK
and LEVI i. LUcKEY; let him then keep
no Illegal military secretary about him,
and get some honest. decent young man to
perform the duties of his private secretary.
Let him break once and forever with
Boss SHEPHERD, and every rascal Of that
description and that Ring.
Let him dismiss SEcoR RoBEsoN, and
svery other official thief OF high or low
rank whom he has hitherto provided with
the power and the opportunity of public
plumber.
Let him set adrft Secretary DELKNAP,
and turn out everybody who had any
Anger in the French arms transactions.
Let him cease TO make the Government
. hospital for his own decayed and worth
less relations Diminishing jim CASEY at New
Orleans, revoking the appointment OF
ORvIL L. GRANT as Indian and military
trader, and turning out Marshal SHARP,
packer of the safe burglary jury, from
Office in the District Of Columbia.
Let him stand by Secretary BRsrow and
cOhOitO. w--se.', .-.-a pa ---SaO -.-s"sth
into their arms in their crusade against the
whiskey thieves and all other thieves OF
the Republican party or any other party.
II GRANT will do these things, he will re-
vive faith in his own honesty, and change
In some measure the opinion of those who
have sadly, slowly, and by irresistible
oompulsion, been brought to believe that
he Is worthless II not bad man.
We have tried to save GRANT ever since
he began to go astray by committing the
great fraud Of making Mr.. BoRIE Secre-
tary OF the Navy, when he knew BoRIP
could not do the work and we now ap.
peal to him for the last time. THE Sun has
always been true friend to him, but he
has preferred the advice of fawning syco-
plants and of Unsuitable public robbers. He
ought by this time to perceive where they
have brought him; or else he cannot per-
ceive anything, and must be turned out to
unqualified contempt

The Democratic Convention.

Although the National Democratic Com
mittee Numbered in choosing st. Louis as
the place for holding their convention.
still 1t is proper to say that the fact has no
such personal significance as has been at
tributed to it. The attempt to make this
selection enure TO the advantage of Mr..
HENDRICKS especially, is absurd and puerile
In the estimation Of all who know how it
came TO be made.
When Baltimore was chosen in 1872 after
. sharp rivalry with other cities, there was
an understanding among various members
of the National Committee that st. Louis
should have the convention in 1876. The
Missouri delegation urged that reason re-
gently, and Mr.. SCHELL and other members
who felt themselves TO be morally COM
mitted, could not refuse their votes under
these circumstances.
The choice Of u sound, strong and SEN
nble candidate, is much more important
than the time or the place of holding n
convention. All the present indications
point to "A compromise in the nomination,
and the setting aside Of all aspirants whose
past record would in any way revive sec
donal issues, or give the Republicans an
advantage such as BLAINE and MORTON
have sought to acquire by stirring the en-
bers Of discord
There is large element in the Republic
can party which is Disguised with Grant
tam, and which revolts at the rampant cor
ruption in the public service. But it will
never be reconciled to Bourbonism in any
form, and ms choice Of evils would prefer
20 remain where il Is, rather than incur
new risks, or yield an unconquerable pref
udice. This element represents many thou
sands in various States, and politically
holds the balance Of power in the Pres-
Dental election.
The Liberal Republican organization is
dispersed between the Two parties, but the
element OF which We have spoken re-
mains an unorganized force Inside the
Republican party, anxious and ready TO
separate from II If proper opportunity
be offered. Give these disconnected thou
sands a fair candidate, who will not offend
their convictions and in whose position to-
ward the rebellion they have faith, and
they will march over In body 10 his sup
port. They ask from the Democracy, in
other words, bridge to carry them over
without a humiliating surrender.
Hence 1t is, ana IN view of the turn OF
events during the past year, that wise and
rejecting leaders at Washington and in the
States, are now exchanging opinions and
periecting plan TO meet this condition OF
sentiment. The rivalry between the regu-

CHAMDERLATN'S DILEMMA.
The Financial PcrpIrNiIies OF IA Sclf-Pro-
claimed Reiormer.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 25.-You have already
learned that the bankers have declined to raise
the am cunt necessary to anticinate the payment
OF interest upon the consolidation bon Is. They
took the ground that the last levy of taxes was
inadequate to warrant the hope OF repayment
by the present State Government.
The situation is even worse than at FIRST APP
pearcd. The State debt ia supposed to have
been $1,000 600, outside OF the conversion bonds
or this amount, which was made fundable at
nfty cents on the dollar III consolidated bonds
that Is, the $l2,OO00Oo-there has been funded
$o,oO,OOU, making S4,OJO,UVO upon which inter- 81
Is now payable. ANY one who can calculate Will
see there are 100000 OF South Carolina bonds
Yet outstanding not funded, and yet fundlble.
These are fundabLe IA $@.uOJ.uNO of consolidated
bonds, which bear date from Jst January, 1874,
and which to-day have back interest due on
the coupons attached to them in gross OF
s36O.OOO.
There is not the slightest regard paid in the
Appropriation bill To the contingency of these
bonds beng funded, and the Interest upon them
being demanded. should the cousuli dalton
scheme succeed, and these bonds. which repre-
sent mostly the assets OF old families, come in
and claim a payment OF their coupons, there

These are facts more easily told than real
lied; and II a true and impartial history OF
the former seven years Carlist war and of
this four years war is ever written, it will
certainly be very interesting reading.
For Spain itself, the conclusion of this
war may possibly prove much less OF a
blessing than at first appears. Vanity
being the great national characters
tic OF the Spaniards, II Is not Mt
all unlikely that the easy success Of
ALFONSO over Don CARLOS may lead tho
young King to believe that he can I've just
as triumphant in any other struggle. An
available army OF 900 soldiers, to which
can now be added some $1,000 more from
Basque and Navurre well trained and dis
ciplined by the long Carlist war, might
easily induce the statesmen OF Madrid to
imagine that they can successfully venture
upon anything In the way of military
operations. Many thousand men will
probably at once be sent to Cuba. Slavery
will be maintained more strenuously there
than ever, for the Cabinet of ALFONSO XII.
Is an essentially pro-slavery body, and any
rernonstrnnce on the part of the United
States will be met with more arrogance
than ever before.
These are. briefly stated, the most likely
immediate results OF the termination of

A great many women arc earning their
livelihood as writers for periodicals, as artists as
physicians, as actresses, and a few az platform
lecturers but women are not welcomed into
the ranks of legal practitioners. We believe there
are female lawyer In ST. Louis, one In Chicago
and perhaps one or two Others elsewhere but
we have rarely ever heard Of any one OF them
taking up a case In court. In two recent in-
stances female aspirants in law have been per-
emptorlly dealt with by the bench. A para
graph In our columns yesterday told how Mrs.
LOCKWOOD OF WASHINGTON had struggled In
various ways to secure permission to practise In
the Court Of Claims, and how the court had
thwarted all her attempts. Another lady, Miss
LAvINIA GooDELL, has been laboring for ad-
mission to the bar In Milwaukee, and Chief Jus
tice RYAN OF Wisconsin has Just delivered an
elaborate decision against her application. He
held that 1t was wise in the common law to ex-
olude women from the legal profession. and

1t was n singular coincidence that
BEEcnER and BABcoCK should have been
whitewashed on the same day and by similar
processes. by excluding the most important
testimony and pleading rigid technicalities,
they escaped conviction before their respective
tribunals, but these tricks only served To make
their crminality stand out more strongly In
public estimation. BEEonER will continue to
harangue his Plymouth worshippers. and Dab

The British Government, since II OBJ
tanned control OF the suez Canal is keeping a
closer watch than ever over Egypt. The Khedlve
has taken its advice about his trouble with zan-
zbar, and about his warllke operations against
Abysslnia; he has submitted his finances to the
inspection OF British agent sent to look after
British interests and he has promised to intro
duce such reforms as may be suggested from
that quarter. The Inquiries that were made In
the British Parliament the other day about the
action Of the Khedlve IN securing the services
OF a Russian officer to reorRanize his army, show
that all departments Of the Egyptian admins
tration arc to be put under surveillance. We
are somewhat surprised at tho Khediyo's ap-
pointment OF Russian officer to the service Of
military reorganization which has heretofore
been under the control Of Gen. STONE and other
American officers 1t had been supposed tn Il
the Americans were doing the work to his sat
isfaction.

Those who are anxious that some OF the
prominent clergymen horeabout should encOur-
age the attempts TO introduce religion among
our city heather, must have been pleased With
the appearance of the Right Rev. Bishop POTTER
OF the Episcopal Church, in the floating chapel at
tho foot ~ pike street last sunday In that
place, on that occasion, the Bishop administered
tue rite OF confirmation to large number OF
new converts, including many sailors and men
who work along the docks. With such an ex-
ample before them, II may be supposed that
other clergymen OF various creeds will be read >
to take up the work OF the rough handed re
formers who have been trying to do something
IN the wickeder parts Of the city. No clergy
man should consider himself too high, or too
refined, or too learned, for such service.

position to attach TO the Jewish people a
whole tho stigma OF RuBENsrEIN's crime and

The teetotal reformers now operating
with such energy and success in Massachusetts,
go SO far as to require their converts to pledge
themselves against tho use OF apple cider.
Lager bier also is tabooed as well all kinds Of
light wine. native and foreign. 1t is an estab-
lished fact OF modern science that the liberal
drinking Of cold water with the food ordinarily
consumed at daily meals is unwholesome. 1t
impedes the action OF the stomach, deranRes
the processes OF digestion. and is apt to produce
variety Of chronic maladies that are very din
cult Of cure. With the ordinary dinners Of com
mon people warm tea OF coffee warm Cruel or
warm thin soup, any warm liquid, Is a better

Thus early In the session OF the British
Parliament, Mr.. DIsRAELI has very nearly
brought his Ministry 10 defeat on question
that has been under popular egtation for tho
last half year-the fugitive slave question. At
the time OF the issue Of the Admiralty order for
bidding British vessels stationed near the coasts
OF slayeholding countries from carrying OF
slaves who took refuge In them, the anti slavery
sentiment Of Great Britain became SO demon
strative that tho order had to be modified The
Ministry retreated from Its nrst ground very I'M
willingly and With very bad grace, under tho
stress of necessity. But the modification was
unsatisfactory to the Antl-Savcry Society,
which peremptorily demanded the total with
drawal OF the order; and the matter taken
up by the Liberal opposition In Parliament soon
after the present session had opened, q few days
ago. The Liberals were reinforced to some ex-
tent from the Ministerial side aud had they
been able to secure few more votes, the Dis
RAELI Ministry would have been placed in O
minority upon a question which It could not
Afford 70 take before the country. Mr.. DIsRAELI
appears TO have lost his temper; for he stigma
tzed the attempt OF the opposition In language
which no does not often resort to, and which
seems rather impolitc under the circumstances.
The Ministry won Its point for the moment; but
this will not put an end to ths agitation among
the people for the revocation Of the order. Tho
anti-slavcry sentiment Of Great Britain 10 some
thing that can always be appealed to whom there
Is anything for It to act upon and other Min
istries have found that 1t could never be disre-
garded with impunity.
