look for tho Minister TO England in other
quarters of the country.
The true place i'm which to seek tho most
hitting Minister is Now York. II is oasy to
ind here suitable man for the place. and
one widely known and honorcd at home,
aud of high reputation abroad. Mr.. Edwin
w. SToUGHToN would undoubtedly be the
favorite of GRANT for the place. He did
GRANT service when he bolstered up his
Louisiana oppression, and, like all new
converts, he is a Jealous advocate OF Grant
ism. lie is n charming, handsome gra-
cious and diplomatic man, and would
cut fno figure at London socially.
while his unquestionod legal abilities
would make him n Minister whom the
British Government would soon learn to
regard. Perhaps, however, the coppersh
taste Of his political opinions during the
war might be offensive TO the sensitive
CAMERON, and lead to his rejection by the
Senate. But Mr.. SToUonToN is not the
only lawyer equal to the place. Tho Hon.
WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs is not only his equal,
but his superior rs lawyer. He has an
extensive professional reputation, and is
well informed ns TO the questions likely to
arise between us and England. Ito is also
endowed with genius for society, IL rich
and liberal and would raise our embassy
at London to level with the most estecm-
ed at that great capital. The people OF
this country, without regard to party,
would be delighted with such representa-
tive at VIcroRIA's court. 1t is true Mr..
EvARTs has not OF late been a follower of

GRANT is in bad straits and needs to pick
out the best man he can nnd TO save his
and our drowning regulations.
Mr.. EvARTs's young and brilliant law
partner, Mr.. JOSEPH ii. CuoATE, might
also do for Minister. He is man OF null
tiforrn accomplishments, a graceful ora
tor. and handsome man, Just approach
ing middle life. But he Is President of the
Union League Club, and has Of late, been
active in the opposition TO Senator Roscoe
CoSKLrNo. This probably would prevent
Mr.. CHoATE's appointment to England un-
less Mr.. CoNKLING should perceive that it
might be better to have him In foreign
country.
Our popular Senator would certainly be
ready to give his full support to, the nomi-
uhtlOu Oh 1ON. r.. ~. N1OHGAN. lHc GON-
ernor, by reason of his great commercial
transactions, added to his long and wide
experience in public affairs, is well fitted
for Minister to England. Our relations
with that country are chiefly commercial.
and II would be altogether fitting TO put in
the place of the Ambassador TO London n
merchant Of the highest class aud largest
ability, like Gov. MORGAN. He Is In his
personal presence man to command
attention wherever he may goa strong,
impressive, and self-reliant individuality.
Gov. MORGAN would make a powerful
Minister to England.
Gen. JOHN A. DIX is also strong candi-
date for the place. There Is no one In the
country who has had such varied expert
ence OF public Office as he, aud II would be
hard TO find among our public men gen.
tleman of his scholarship and classical and
historical requirements. Gov DIX would
command admiration In London. as he did
in Paris. where he was a special favorite
with the Empress EUGENE.
But perhaps, looking the list through,
the man Of all most likely. after MI.
| STouGHroN, to get the nomination, Is Gov.
| MORGAN. since he would have the powerful
support OF Senator CoSKLISG, GRANTS first
| choice for the nomination at Cincinnati.
