1850.
The Preparations the Two Parties are
Making for the Presidential Flee

WAsHtsaToN. Oct. 1b.-One of the. curious
far which Is met on fhe threshold of this extra
for 1880. Usually such work does not manifest
itself clearly ill the last session Of the second
CONGRESS Of new administration. But here #
stsres the observer in the face before even tbe
regular session Of tho FIRST Congress has assem-
bled under the new President.

Grant into the field for the next rare. The men
who propose this have among them some Of the
skilled gorganzsrs and manipulaters Of the
party. They believe That the triumph OF n solid

Will have 80 disgnsted the North, long b fore
name IA Grant will be needed by the party,
aud that under bis banner Republicans con CON

itics.
There are some Republican leaders who have
even advanced in their plans beyond 1880. They
ropeede democratic victory then. and hre try
Ing to draw the horoscope Of 1884. This seems
absurd 10 but It + no less true. The hopes and
the ambi IONS OF men who imagine themselves
near the top In our politics are limited by life
times. not by years.
The hapes of the Republicans. even ut this
e.rlv day. appear to be mainly in the blu sders
Of the Democrats and the latter are quietly be-
seeching each other 10 tread tenderiy. With
all their bright antcpations. the most san.

mistakes which the future may record.
But Democrats and Republicans alike
are already skirmishing for position, with a
view to the presidential contest, The elections

among Congressman. but the eyes and thoughts
Of all seem Just now to be reaching beyond 10

political thought toward preparation for the

to note that those Republicans who are the most
dissatisfied are also those who seem the most

WASHINGTON. Oct Ex-senator Blaine said to-

phens accords to Hayes is concerned, the simile
is peculiar. Mr.. Stephens" /" said he. says Mr..
Hayes holds his office by better title than
George Washington did. because Mr. Hayes was

formed In this country" That reminds me. .

who ran for Office, and they charged on the
stump that he had been indicted for villainy Of
some kind. The candidate answered In his
own behalf that the other candidate made @
great blunder in making the charge. He ad-
mitted the indictment, and pointed to the fact
that he had the verdict Of twelve jurymen TO the
effect that he was an honest man, while his op-
Donent had never even been indicted, and con-

The Paris Exhibition.
IN. Y. Tribune.i

IEN. I, If1DUnpJ
The Paris Universal Exhibition building for
the exhibition OF 1878 is being pushed rapidly
to completion by the French government, and
already has a grand appearance. The great
hall Is completed up to the springing OF the
iron roof trusses, and more than three GUAR
ters OF the iron and glass roofing over the in
dustrial galleries on the Champ de Mars has
been completed. In the centre of the building
is wide open air avenue, In which will be
thought that there would be no necessity for
annexes, but the idea has been given up and
the Champ de Mars will be more crowded
with supplementary buildings than it was in
1867. Half OF the space Of the grand vesti-
bule will be used for the exhibition of the
presents received by the Prince Of Wales
during his visit to India.

point against Moffatt.
