Bishop Gilbert Haven, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in Connecticut,
VINO, our readers will remember, was one
OF the most blatant advocates Of Presi-
dent Grant for o third ;erfn, has again
got politics on the brain, and has the
advancement Of the same individual up
permost Ia his thoughts. This time he
hA2 given vent TO his preferences by
preaching sermon upon politics in one
of the churches of Washington, in which
he dwelt upon the killing of the CHS.
holms in Mississippi two years ago, and
expressed the hope that we would again
have Grant at the head OF the nation,
and referred to him as the man on horse
back who would, with sword in hand,
protect the "poor negroes" During his
political harangue, which was delivered
in the ahape Of sermon, he was fire.
quently and heartily applauded. Mr.
Haven is evidently much pleased with
the prospect of the Southern question be-
coming pominent in the next campaign,
for with that and Grant as the Presiden-
tial candidate, he will never be without
some subject to preach ~ about. His
influence, however, does not frighten the
Democrats badly.

Hon. John Sherman, Secretary If the
Treasury, WAS one of the Visiting states
men" who went to Louisiana to see Dir.
Hayes put into the Presidency to which
Mr. Tilden was elected. He is wrathy
ove- the proposition to investigate, and
writes letter TO the Potter Committee
demanding the right TO have counsel on
all points touching his connection with
the count, and offering to prove that the
returns of East and West Felicianna
Parishes were properly counted. This is
large undertaking, and the privilege
will no doubt be extended To him.

The sentiment of the country 10 far
has reacted very decidedly in reference
&c The Investigation OF the Presidential
election frauds, and is nearly entirely
favorable to u thorough official investi-
cation of the means by which the people
of the United States were cheated out of
their choice for the Presidency; but they
also are, as a majority, opposed to re-
opening Hayes title to the Office. The
resolution of the House, under which
the Potter committee is raised, does not
contemplate unseating Mr.. Hayes, but
1t does mean to disgrace him and bury
his political party. If the committee
perform its work as efficiently as the
character of it's members indicates it will
do, there can be very little doubt that
the developments will be such that a
perfect storm of indignation will burst
from the people against the Republican
party, and sweep it away forever from
American politics an the party Of corrup-
tion and theft.

which it had best let alone, as its danun-
citation will not hurt the South Carolina
press, nor can its praises add anything TO
the reputation of the Springfield Repub-
Hcdn. The Consfifution may not have
comprehended the ofense in the Repu6-
deans article, for It is perfectly clear
that it does not understand the remarks
OF the South Carolina press which it
terms "abuse."

After the Senate amended the bill to
retire Gen. Shields upon the salary of q
Brlgadier- General, by adding section
to retire Gen. Grant upon the snlary Of
General Of the armies of thu United
States, Senator Thurman moved to
amend by substituting bill to grant
Gen. Shields pension of one hundred
dollars per month. This motion elected
q spirited debate, end veg G:.slly defeat
ed by vote Of 33 to 81. Tho bill then
came up for third reading, and was le-
feated by vote Of "a to 80. We are
surprised to gee that throughout the
entire matter General Butler of this State
voted against majority of tho Demo
Gratis to place General Grant upon the
retired list with very large sa,nry for
life. What reason can be given for such
vote we cannot perceive. Gen. Grant
Is in the prime of life. He left the army
because he could get the position of
President, and he now has handsome
competence for himself and family.
There is no reason to justify placing
Grant upon the retired list of the army.

The Indications Of war in Europe are
growing gradually less, and it is now
pretty safe TO concluded that peace will
be made without further bloodshed, on
the basis of q reference Of the treaty of
San Stefano TO Congress of the Eu-
ropean powers. While the arrangements
fo- this settlement arc being agreed upon,
however, both England and Russia are
busily preparing for war, and each will
be most thoroughly ready for the con-
fiict which each Is afraid to begin. This
mutual thorough equipment Se- war !s nc

full settlement. Each country breads to
encounter the discipline and preparation
of the other and so they prefer 10 settle
their differences by arbitration.
