Tx President Grants Secretary Of War had
to resign to prevent being impeached, and was
saved from conviction Of felony by a legal qulb-
BILE, and it now seems that the strenuous efforts
that have been made, aud that arc still in pro-
gress,t save the reputation of his Secretary OF
the Navy will iail and that he will now have
to 20 foot in the class of government pcculators,
for Secretary Thompson can not find the money
for which the Philadelphia navy yard and some
ships were sold, and, it is said, will call upon
the Attorney General to commence legal pro

The opinion seems to be general now that
the President made grand mistake when he
failed to order the withdrawal OF the troops
from the Capitols Of South Carolina and Louis

indeed, that even members Of his Cabinet en-
terrain it. lie can, however, measurably cor
rect it by issuing the delayed order, with re-

GRANT IN LONDON.
ENGLISHMEN PUZZLED ABOUT PRESI-
DENTAL PRECEDENCE.

OEN llAL
The evidence mulIiplies to show that
Gen. Grant and Mr.. Perrepont and
Consul-General Badeau between them
have cOntrived to put the eX President
into rather a false and absurd light
uring his London visit. A private
letter to a friend in this city from an
English member of Parliament, we'll
known for his goodwill towards this
country, comments rather sarcasticol y
upon the subject as follows: "Some
ridiculous and preposterous things
have happened during Grants visit in
connection with the awful question of
precedence. In the innocence of our
hearts we had fancied the Presidency
of the United States solt of Cincin-
natus business, and that, after joyfully
laying down tue sceptre of authority,
your republican chief magistrates
gladly returned to the condition of
citizens and yoked their horses once
more to the plough; but it seems we
were mistaken. Your exPresident has
insisted upon the highest royal hOnors,
wanting to walk before princes if not
before kings. which would ali be very
well if.you had only let US know it was
on the p. .ogramme. AS nobody under
stood about the results have beenrather
comical. At Mr.. Pierrepont's Grant,
Plerrepont and Mrs. Plerrepout, and
MIR Badeau, all stood in a semicircle
in one room, after the manner Vf the
Queen and royal family at a drawing.
Dom TO receive the guests. A Tory
friend of mine chaffed me frightfully
about il, and said he had supposed a
President was grander kind of per-
sonage than that-more like Lord
M iyor of London or the High Sheriff
of county-the chief man during his
term of service, but ready afterwards
gracefully to reIire to the highest dig
nifty Of private life.
"5eriously, am afraid that General
Grant has not made good impression
upon the most sensible people whose
good opinion Is best worth having,
ana l am heartily sorry for it. 1t Is
hard to make people who have not
been in the United States understand
how an eX-President may not be after
all, represe ntative American or even
d fair specimen of his countrymen.

Fall Voting.

In less than a month from now the
American citizen will begin to express
his opinion at the polls on political ques-
tions. On the 9th of August Alabama
and Kentucky, both democratic States,
choose legislatures. On the 9th Of sep-
tember California and Vermont, and on
the 10th Maine, hold their elections,
These three States have been republican.
The democrats hope to carry California
All three choose members Of the Legisla-
ture, and Maine and Vermont State
ticket also. On the I'd of October Ohio
Iowa and Colorado elect members of the
Legislature, and the two first namedGov-
ernors also. Ohio is a doubtful State,
Iowa is republican, Colorado probably
so.
On the 9th of November Massachu-
sets, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, South Carolina, Tenn
essee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Wis
consin, Minnesota aud Nevada hold cleo
tions. In eight of these thirteen Govern
ors, and in all members of the Legislature
are to be chosen. OF the thirteen MaSsa-
chusetts, Minnesota and Nevada will go
republican,; New Jersey, Wisconsin and
perhaps Pennsylvania are thought to be
doubtful, and the remainder are probab-
ly democratic.
OF the whole list of twenty-one States
it will be seen that the republicans are
certain of only five States, the democrats
are certain of nine, and seven others are
doubtful, with the chances at this time in
| most OF them in favor of the democrats.

As Mrs. Rylsnd aud her daughter

b lowly walked to the fireplace and set

U. 5. District Attorney Tenney receiv-
ed yesterday and promulgated Mr.. Hayes
order forbidding any Government officer
to take any part in the management of
political organizations, caucuses, conven-
tions, or election campaigns, and forbid
ding assessments for political purposes.
The order was signed by R. b. Hayes,
and contains this paragraph: "This rule
is applicable to every department of the
civil service. 1t should be understood
by every officer of the general Govern
ment, that he is expected to conform his
conduct to its requirements" Collector
Freeland, seems ANXIOUS to please MIR.
Hayes at this time, received the same Or
der, and at once gave notice that 1t must
be carried out Deputy Collector Silas
j. Boone. delegate to the Republican
General Committee from Flatbush, ac-
cordingly resigned. The Republicans
who have usually had all their requests
for the appointment OF men at the Navy
Yard complied with, are much chagrined
at this time at being told by Commodore
Nicholson aud Naval Constructor Pook
that political considerations no longer
govern Them in the appointment OF men
there.
