GETTING TOvARD A TOCCs.

The Presidential question is eradu-
ally approaching q focus. South Caro-
lima has been removed from the list OF
doubtful States, and stands for Hayes
and Wheeler. The fight therefore
rests upon the results in Louisiana
and Florida, so far ne it depends upon
the Returning Boards at all, anu the
politicians are bestirring themselves
moro actively than ever IN those
States. There has been something too
much Of loose and needless chatter
between the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis who went down to New Orleans
70 see fair play, and We cannot per-
ceive that either has gained an advan-
tage by the exchange OF arguments
aud accusations. The President mas
ia 8 measure come 20 the rescue. amt
sobered down the contestants. by re-
minding them that AFFAIR count Is after
all The oniy desideratum, and assuring
them that he does not intend to put
up with any thing else. 1t is no spec
ial concern OF his which of the two
candidates Is elected, but 1t Is his
special concern to see that the man
truly elected is the man inaugurated,
and this he says he will attend to, no
matter what the politicians say Or do.
We believe that the country has full
confidence in the honesty and impair
t.a.itv Of tie President in this regard.
and looks 10 him AS . just and candIc
arbitrator Ii is above all his known
hrmness that guarantees the people at
this critical period against attempts to
override the law or 10 breed disturb
ances. Both his friends and his enc
mics know that he Will do wha: no
..onceives to he his duty according 70
his lights, and neither persuasion nor
intimidation can make him swerve a
hairs breadth from the line he has
marked out for himself. The votes OF
Florida and Louisiana will be fairly
counted if he can secure SO much, and
there will be no usurpation either
side while he presides at the head CT
affairs.
We find the foregoing 10 the Sacra-
menso Record-U Mon OF Monday. We
reproduce it for the sake Of it's very just
comments upon the character and pur-
pose of President Grant. But this is
very tardy justice toward the President
from tina. paper. He has TO more of
"hones.y and impartia'ity" to bring to
tho task of an arbitrator now than he
has had during the few years last past.
durics which time the Record has been
cue Of his 1nost persistent det-actors.
The country has no more confidence IN
him now THAI il. had when. by outcries
and epitLets, it was prevented from
having MIN retained a. the head OF the
Government. Ills frmness to prevent
all " attempts to override the laws or
breed disturbances" is no stronger or
more reliable now than it has been dur
ing the years in which the Record Union
and its colleagues of the Associated Press
have been bowling him down the winds
with Instructions Of his completely with !
fraud, his promotion Of corruption and
his "bayonet rule Of the South. He
is no better nor worse; no more nor less
capable; no frmer nos more just now
than he has been during the trying wears
when the potential press Of the North
has been buried against him in one solid
force with the purpose Of breaking down
his administration and destroying him
rs political power in tie country.
