General Review of the PreSi-
DENTAL Situation.
Both Parties Divided Among
Themselves Ola the Curren-
cy Question.
From a Special Correspondent. ]

rom z special correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb, y. 1876.
There is no doubt of the fact that Hen
bricks is the foremost man Just at this time.
Tilden is weaker than he was. He would
make frst-rate President. He belongs to
the old style OF statesmen, but he has not
developed any growing strength. Thur
man has made a fine impression, but some
how do not think he has inspired the ac-
tivity among his followers which is mani
tested by Hendricks friends and supporters.
Bayard the nobleSt Roman of them all, is
strong, socially and personally. But the
smallneSs of his State and his proximity to
New York (near it and yet not of IT'D seems
in some way to deprive him of the elements
Popular strength. He is splendid man
every way. would rather see him Presi-
dent than any of them, but do not hope for
his nomination.
There is another man who has within a
few days past shown strength which
threatened to rival Hendricks, indeed. to
over match it-Judge Davis of the Supreme
Court. There are two difficulties i'm his
way.
1st. Men say we want no more Greeley
movements.
ID They say that the Adams men of the
Liberal Republican element are against him
for some cause connected with the nomina-
tion in 1872 at Cincinnati.
The prospects for success are pretty good,
Notwithstanding some very untoward signs.
The financial question which is impeding
the Democratic party is actually splitting
the Republican party and the schism in the
ranks of the latter will show itself even in
Massachusetts.
If either Blaine or Grant is nominated we
can beat them. If Morton has strength in
the West on the finance ISSUE it will weaken
him in the East. His anti-Southern sec
tiOnalism will not weaken him much; that
feeling is again attempted to be aroused.
If Bristow is brought to the front it will
be hard to elect any man over him. He has
made coup in the whisky ring investiga-
tions and is strong all over the country
Neither Morton, or Blaine or Grant, or even
Ben Butler, is more against our people than
he is. II will be dark day for us when he
Is elected. He is Strong man, full Ofwill
and mind, honest and fanatical, and the
Southern Democrats have been the objects
of his fanaticism.

HAVANA, March 1t is officially report
ed from Tomaso de Gibera, February 10Th,
that three hundred Spanish cavalry, while
scouting in the country, met six hundred

imo Gomez. The Spanish hardly had time
to draw their sabres before hand to hand
combat followed, lasting fully an hour, at
the end of which time they remained mas
ters of the battle field, their loss being 26
killed and SO wounded; the loss of the enc
nv was considered at least equal Captain
soon after he heard of the fight. This is the
first enga5 5ement of consequence for long
time.

European Opinion of tEae EselIHnap
Scandal.

| LONDON FeD. 1.-The Times OF this morn
/ ing says editorially of the Belknap scandal
| This is even more grave, because it confirms
the suspicion which has long prevailed
among the American people. Even Euro
| peans cannot but be struck with the altered
tone in which Americans speak, if not of
| their institutions, at least of the men who
! have the present direction of them.
The News in alluding to the subject SAYS ::
American political life seems TO be in any
| thing but healthy condition. 1t refers to
the whisky fraud trials, the Emma mine
scandal and the downfall of Belknap, and
says that these scandals lift the veil from
the class of society which it was hith-
erto generally supposed had, as yet, es-
capped the Impurities of the social strata be-
low; and they lead one to fear that some of
the worst vices of municipal government
may be percolating into the Federal admin
iStratiOn.
The Telegraph says: Disclosures after dis
closures, charges after charges, varying in
degree, but bearing the same ugly and un-
| toward character have lately darkened the
commercial, religious, judicial, and admin
lstrative distributions of the United States.
Some have proven false, others tue, and
more wait evidence; but the general et-
feet, beyond denial, has been to bring the
blush of shame aad anxiety into the face
OF all honest Americans and make the count
less friends of the republic in this country
silent and sOrrowful, while its enemies re-
Joice over these recurring revelations.
