God speed, for nothing would
render that success more certain
than such a course. That Presi.
dent Grant desires it is now hardly
denied by any one. Harper's
Weekly, radical as it is, asserts
that he is working for it, and an
nounces that, should he succeed,
IL will not support him. The New
York Tribune says that this is no
time to talk about third parties,
and that the people must choose
between q Democrat and a Repub-
licau, and advises the Democrats
to choose wisely. Judge Thurman,
of Ohio, and Governor Hendricks,
Of Indiana, are more prominently
spoken of than any others for the
first place on the ticket, though
the friends of Governor Tilden are
steadily at work, and claim the in
side track for their favorite.
An immense number of finance
bllls,hav been introduced in the
House, most Of them looking to a
repeal of the resumption act of last
February. No test vote has yet
been reached on any of these
measures, but 1t is supposed hat
the Committee on Commerce will
bring in a bill next week that will
show how the House feels on the
subject. A proposal for a reciproc-
ity treaty with Mexico, intro
duced by MI. Gibson, ofLouisiana,
meets with general favor, and it is
thought will, if adopted, do more
to settle the disturbance on the
Mexican border than would an
army. Several Pacific railroad
bills are now before the commit
tees of both Houses, and q great
effort will be made TO pass o sub
sidy for the Southern Pacific. Tom
Scott has a heavy lobby at work,
and has been here himself. He
ouly wants about one hundred mil
lions. The Kanawha canal, the
water-route through Tennessee
and Georgia, and several otqer
schemes, + said to have com
bined their forces for a grand raid;
but Holman's resolution against
subsidies is staring these lobbyists
in the face, and its adoption will
probably send them home with
empty pockets. Senator Boutwell,
introduced a bill on Wednesday
creating a joint Senate and House
bar, whose duty it should be to
grant license to persons DESTROYS
of pleading before any committee
of either House, and prescribing
that no licenses should be granted
except to lawyers who have license
in the highest courts Of their
States. The adoption of this bill
would kill the lobby and put all
the hash-house keepers in Wash
ington in mourning. Let us all
pray for it. Dem.

b" ! feel more strongly than ! did at any time
"during the war;" said leading merchant at
the great meeting in Wall-st. on Saturday.
Thousands around him shared his feeling and
with reason. When Sumter fell we had only
the Union at stake. Now we have, not only
the Union, but all the great sacrifices, all the
precious blood all the dear lives, by which it
was saved and lose them all if we lose that
for which they were freely given. If We throw
away all that made the Union worth saving,
we also throw away the devotion, the
endurance, and the hcrOism which made
the nation great We fought or sacri-
feed for the supremacy of the Constitu-
ton. But in fifteen States the Constitutions
to-day a lie, If those prevail who defy il OF
say that it shall not be upheld by force. We
fought for equal freedom. But real freedom
exists, in certain States, only because the
United States Government is in the hands of
those who mean to maintain it. We fought
for vigorous and enduring nationality. But
the life of the nation Is in its credit, and what
would its credit be if the power were intrusted
TO those who believe that any State at pleasure
may snap the tie of confederation

We are glad Ia hear from the mouth of the
Hon. samuel j. Ti!dcn himself a definition Of
human Weakness In his Brooklyn speech
on Saturday night he left no doubt Of his
ideas of weakness and strength. lie said sub
siantiallv that those who would not vote for
himself were in his opinion fools" weak as
he put it three on four times. Here - his
language: IL have felt lately since ! have
" seen the names Of various men signed to

"tcrtainrd a notion Of human weakness greater

hans there il something a little folbclrng even
i'm this mcomplimcntary estimate. IL would
have been Just rs easy for the Hon. Samuel D..
Iildcn 10 have called all his opponents
"knavcs." and so they should be much obliged
To him for merely calling them :" FOOLS There
is ONLY one thing cOmmcndablc about this GU
iiou, languagc-it Is candid, ut any rate.
There were great many of these weak
people in Wall-st on Saturday aftcrnoOn-a
strong meeting of the Predetermined mer-
chants of Nrw-York who listened to an adj
dress by that emincnty weak person, the
Secretary of the Treasury. The phenomenon
of 900 persons all with bees in their bon
nets, marching down Broadway without any
keepers, must have filled the benevolent mind
Of Gov. Tiden with anguish, if he witnessed
this awful spectacle of human inirmity
II was hardly worth while to bring ont Gov
Tildrn, and To exhibit him upon PLATFORM
merely that he might say for the twentieth
time, that the compliment was paid not to
him but to the cause which he represents.
This idea, which he captured day or two
after his nomination, he has been most in
dustriouslv working ever since. Whether it
indicates weakness on his part, we are too
civil to say. 1t really does not indicate much
strength.

To most of our readers the history which

lature of that State under the prctcnSe OF
auditing the war debt of the State, and before
the public had really found what was going
on. two and a half millions, mostly in Rebel
claims and many of them fraudulent, had been
passed, and the certificates, fac-simile OF one
of which has been printed in The TRIBUNE,
