Grant and 1880.


1t is very evident that Grant is to
be brought forward for n third term
at the next Presidetial election.
The programme is to keep him
travelling ia foreign countries till
the opportune time arrives for kind
linga Juror by popular demonstra-
tons on the occasion of his return,
and then he will appear on the field,
1t is said that bankers who acquired
immense wealth by opportunities
afforded under his administration
contributed n large fund to pay the
expenses Of his tour abroad, in the
expectation OF reaping richer har'
vests in return in the future. A
powerful combination is already
formed in Grants interest and when
he returns Il desperate effort will be
made to fire the popular heart in
his favor. The whole army OF office

and all the managers Of national
State, county, city, town and schoo
district rings in the country will be
expected TO make themselves active
and efficient in stirring up enthusi
asm for the man before whom Eu
rope uncovered
Judging rom the present situa
ton the probabilities are strong that
Grant will be the Republican stand
ard bearer in 1880 with all the dis
honest and corrupt political elements
in the country marshalled in hi,
train. We do not believe, however
that the people of this country can
be induced by any amount of press
urc to place the destiny of their gov,
eminent in his hands again. They
have had enough of bayOnet rule
enough of government through the
management of rings of whiskcy.
thieves, Observation-Disclosures and traf
lickers in post-traderships enough
of class legislation and jobbc:y-
enough of carpet-bog legislatures or
ganizod by an armed soldiery-
enough of troops massed around the
Capitol to awe the peoples repre-
sentatives and force submission to
fraudulent count Of electoral votes,
and enough of Grantism in all its
forms. Ifthe Republican leaders sec
fit to go before the country in the
next campaign on the question Of
restoring Grant and his crowd to
power, the Democracy will have no
reason to complain. If they can't
beat him, they can't anybody; and il
the people are ready to return to

The Legislature Of South Carolina
has passed a bill prohibiting members
of the Legislature, Judges and other
public officers from accepting free
passes over railroads. This ought to
be the law in every State. This pass
system is nothing more nor less than
cheap way of buying influence by
placing recipients under obligations.
no officer for whom such law is in
tended should accept such passes

Amcndinc the Constitution.

The Ncp York Sun says: A plan for
amending the provisions of the Con-
stltution for clecting II President of
the United States has been agreed
upon by a committee OF the House of
Representatives. The scheme, so
far as we can judge, is intricate
and complicatedSat all events, the
telegraph operator who gives an ac'
count of it does not appear to under
stand it. But this makes little diff
ference. Whether it is ineligible
or not, we do not want any amend
ment of the Constitution in this re
spect. We have more Constitution
now than anybody pays any regard
to. First, let US learn to observe
and obey what we have; and then it
will be time enough to talk about
amendments.
The Constitution as it is, worked
well enough us long as it was carried
into effect. 1t would have worked
well the last time, if it had been
obeyed. 1t is all II shallow pretencc
that we need any change in the Con-
stitution; and it is intended to serve
as an excuse for the creation of the
Electoral Commission and the reten.
ton of Hayes in office.
Those who disregard the Constitu-
ton us it is, would disregard any
provisions that could be added to it,
By admitting that its requirements
are not plain, we should concede n
better apology for the Electoral Com
mission than any that now exists,
Congress may consume us much
time as il chooses in debating the
proposed amendments; but we do
not believe they will ever be ratified
by the States.
A minority of the committee have
made very sensible report, to the
effect that the Constitution is all
right as it is, and that no amend.
mcnts are required, Although these
arc the sentiments Of only Il minori-
ty of the committee, we believe they
are the sentiments Oft majority Of
the people,

stands at the top Of the profession and
