the first act of southern ingratitude, and
first evidence OF southern degeneration.
St. Louis Times, DEM: Roscoe Conk-
ling saw Ulysses S. Grant when he went to
Europe, and don't you forget it. Grant wisely
away This is part Of the plan. lie
is not needed in the early part OF the action
New York sun, Ind: Who is it that
coaching Grant for a third term? The
party or parties would do well to cut down
his supply of Scotch whisky, and to LOOK as
closely after his speeches in private as III
public.
Austin (Texas) Statesman There IS
nothing in Mexico to steal, and one side loses
everything and gains nothing. II We win
Mexico, we will have won an elephant, ana
to effect a conquest will cost 5000! lives ana
countless millions of money,
st. Louis Republican, Ind; The
southern people, while maintaining an I'M
wavering allegiance to the union, the con
stitution and the laws, will vote as they
please and they will not please to vote Tor
republican principles or candidates.
Richmond Wing, Dem: The New
York democrats having secured all ihey de-
sired in the way of subsidies to railroads,
now give notice that they are opposed to all

will make a note of it to guide their future

either has a sure thing or the inside track
Their victims will be astonished at the ease
with which Mr.. Randall will succeed him.

Boston Traveller, Rep: Now, suppose
we follow the example of the administra-
ton with reference to the reform patent,
aud suspend the midsummer madness about
endorsing the policy" long enough 10 as,
certain if anything has been accomplished
in the way of cancellation except total sur
render to the ex. confederates.
Richmond Dispatch, Dem; The
adoption of resolutions by congress, ap.
proving the restoration Of the autonomy OF
the southern states, the re'establlshmeht OF
the constitution, and the cultivation oil mar
mony and brotherly relations OF the sections,
would be an event which should ne geheraliy
gratifying to the nation
Philadelphia Times, Ind: New YORK
has now TO choose between a ticket OF no.
bodies and a ticket headed by Alien -
Beach; between the dictatorship OF Roscoe
Conkling and that of John Kelly. Inc one
represents all that is bad in federal pollncs,
the other all that is bad in state politics III
has come to this pass in the first state IN the
union in wealth and population.
The Nation, Ind: Conkling has got
the best OF the reformers for this election,
and they must make up their minds T. let
MIN enjoy his triumph, OF the ettectol this
triumph on the great mans political fortunes,
however, we trust there is no question. Inc
convention has been very important as
marking the beginning of a split which VIII
undoubtedly grow wider.
Washington Union, Rep; The whole
secret of the presidents policy, over when
Mr.. Tremain, at Rochester, uttered the loud
est and most eloquent growl, is simply to let
all acknowledged citizens nave the rights oil
citizens, and submit quietly and Loyalty to

to ours, in the like event.
Baltimore Sun, Dem; The present
era OF good feeling is especially favorable to
a return of confidence and a renewal OF effort
in every field and channel OF legitimate
industry and enterprise. The credit can not
he denied to President Hayes Of having
recognized the significance of the popular
vote in November, and by his mode of deal
ing with the southern states contributed
largely to bring about the present happy
result.
New Orleans Democrat, Dem: We
can conceive of no greater calamity that
could befall this state than the escape OF
Anderson, Wells and their associates from
the prosecution now pending against them
for the crime of forgery. That they com
mitted the crime is of such public notoriety
that should they not be now convicted, a
feeling of utter contempt will seize upon the
people. The highest interests of society re-
quire that these men shall be punished.
New Orleans Picayune What we
have aid in advocacy of federal aid in
deepening the outlet Of the Mississippi we
are willing to urge in behalf Of the improve
required a thousand or fifteen hundred
miles above. These, in like manner ,devolve
upon congress, and for similar reasons. The
great river and it's tributaries form q system
Of internal highways essentially national in
character, and they ought to be protected
and improved accordingly. The
and transportation of the vast area drained
by these nayisable rivers are not second in
to those of the Atlantic states,
vet congress has spent fifty times more
money for Improvements in the latter than in
the former.
Sprinfield Republican, Ind: The stu
alton in New York is clearly the opportu.
nifty of the republicans, but they are not on
the right track to avail themselves of 1t If
they were as united and harmonious in SYM
patty with the president and his admins
tration as their brethren in Massachusetts,
and Minnesota, they would have au easy
victory this fall, and New York would again
place herself among the republican states.
As it is, the desperation on one side simply
alleviates the desperation on the other. NJ.
Conkling was a God.send to John Kelly,
and now Mr.. Kelly turns up a God-send to
Mr., Conkling, 1t will be curious to watch
the developments of the campaign, and see
which party has made the greatest gift to the
other.
