WHAT OF HIS FUTURR-After Mr..
Grant shall have finished his second
term of Office and retired to the shades
of private life, what comfort will 1t be
70 the people 20 think that for eight
wears that they kept him 10 the PRESS
DENTAL chair ? Alas so far from be-
inc 4 comfort. it will rather be a grief
and a thorn in their side, for, in al
that eight years they can point to moth
ing in his official course Of which they
will have any reason to be proud. On
the contrary, they have been so many
things to condemn,so much TO ceDsure
so many outrages upon law and right,
that the true American citizen feels as
if he would like TO take Euge sponge
and wire out the whole damnsble re-
cord. When the time comes for Grant
to retire, he will not go out OF ONCE
amid the tears and blessings of the
people, regretting that they must part
with him, as Washington did, but
his departure will be hailed with JOY
by all parties, who will experience a
feeling of relief that at last his discred
liable and corrupt administration is at
an end.

not intended to make tie exhibition

proposed that the main building with

art galleries, with the thousands cf
pictures from our own and other
countries, shall be thrown open TO the

burdened with flowers, the ravines,

tions of the days when the Indian
roved in wild freedom, ana when the

shall be permitted to them on Sunday.
We cannot imagine any objection to

SPECULATIoNs as TO the Cincinnati
convention, are now in order, and
every one is asking, who will be the
lucky man. At one time Blaine SEEM
ed to have a " Sure thing" but too
much Investigation seems TO nave kill
ed him off. Just now Conkling ap
pears to be the coming man, but bis
prospects were injured by the trade
with Cameron to secure the vote of
Pennsylvania, and so it is the hopes Of
the different candidates rise and fall.
Discussing the probabilities, the New
York HeraId, of May 30ih, has the
following:
At this moment, within sixtcen
days of the convention at Cincinnati
the canvass shows Conkling in the
lead, with Hayes, of Ohio,as the prop
er man for Vice President. If COnk
Ing cannot WIN lhcn w aShnGrne
comes to the front as the Dark Horse,
the Great Unknown. If Conkling
can keep his pace for sixteen days he
will carry the convention by storm.
If he falls away than Washburne al
vances. Blaine is too heavily hand
capped with Pacific railway bonds,
while BristOw was never in the field,
and will probably be scratched for
Washburne when the time comes for
serious talk and work. This is the
bulletin on the the sixteenth day, as
we gather it from our correspondents
who have been securing the country
for the past few weeks in search Of &C.
curate information.

Tue French SrATUE.-The French
people were in earnest when they re-
solved to construct a clossal bronze
statue Of liberty, to be erected in
New York harbor. Work has been
commenced on the statue near Paris.
An idea may be formed OF the magni-
tude of It's demensions when it is
stated that the shoulders are over for
ty feet broad, and the head twenty
three feet high, from chin to crown.
Il Is also said that a man can easily
conceal himself in some of the folds
of the drapecy. The statue, besides
being commemorative Of the good
will be. ween France and the United
States, is to serve as 4 light house.
New York is expected to furnish the
pedestal, bat has as yet done nothing
toward It's erection.

SUIorDE.-Last week we had the
news that toe Turkish Sultan had ab-
dicated This week we have the fur
ther intelligence that the Sultan died
by his own hani-committed suicide
This rapid succession OF events sng'
gests the idea that the Sultan was
first compelled TO surrender his throne,
and after that being a useless ineum
brauce, was guilty put out Of the way.
This is nothing new in the history OF
Turkey, and shows what small pro-
gress that coGntry has made in either
civilization or humanity.

The " SICK Man NorIFIED.-Rus.
sia, Austria and Germany have enter
ed into a sort of alliance to teach
Turkey her duty in the matter Of pre-
venting future outrages upon the chris
tan population within her borders.
They have virtually agreed TO inform
the Sultan that hereafter all such out
RACES as were lately committed III
Salonica will be reyenged in way
that will make his empire sore, unless
he first exhausts every means TO pre-
vent them. The Hstless, don't t-care>
about iI-way in which the Sick Man"
has heretofore allowed these massacres
to occur and not only to occur, out
the perpetrators Of them TO 90 un-
punished, is not to be put up with
any longer, and if any more sucn
take place those three great powers
will hold the Sultan responsible That
is about the substance OF what the
agreement means, although the in
formation to the Sultan conveying
this determination Is, of course, couch
ed in polite and courtly phrases.
