THE CRY OE DICTATOR.

There are class of politicians who are
ever living on in fear lest some American
citizen may rise up, in spite of the wishes
OF the people, and become Dictator in this
great aud glorious Republic OF ours This
fear, so oppressive and unendurabIc, becomes
almost painful whenever the name of Cen
eral GRANT is alluded TO rs possible can
didate for the Presidency in 1Ss0. This
fear, ccntering in third term, became ap-
parent in le76, and then spread in such for
midable proportions that the Republican
party yielded to it, and, long before the
national convention was held to nominate
Il candidate for its support General GRANT
had disappeared as a candidate, and the cry
of Dictator and q third term were hushcd
in silence. The convention nominated and
the Republican party elected General HAYES
as President, under the most positive assur-
ance that the question Of a second term for
himself would never be recognized for n
moment. 4 year and a half Of his Admin
str,tiOn has trdnspircd, and the people begin
TO look for the coming man in l--0.
\ few prccipitatc and inCousderate men
and journals have had the tcmCrity to
name General GRANT in connection with
the Presidency. for the next term. This
has caused as much excitement in Ger
tain quarters as to shake n red shawl in
the face Of a baitcd bull. This became ap-
parent upon recent occasion when the
Grand Army Of the Republic was being ad-
dressed by General DANIEL L. SICKLEs.
/ He declared that the idea that we needed Il
stronger form of government ought to be
repudiuteh when some one shouted, Three
! cheers for GRANT, This was responded to
! by another in the audience who eaclaimcd,
"No dictator for u.s. General SICKLES
then replied in this wise:
| Let me say that the vencrated name OF
| General GRANT has been insulted by being as.
! socated with the very fOrebodiugs and pre-
! dictions 10 which have referred. Let me say

| that WAsuISGTOS replied to the offers Of the
disaficctcd soldicry at Ncwburg to make him

|
thrd-term rag in the face Of the public, may
be rcsorted to In order to overcome any ris-
ing feeling in favor OF General GRANT, but
it will all avail nothing against the rapidly
gathering feeling aud opinion among the
people that he is the only man who eau
unity and consolidate the anti-DemocratiC
element of the country and save the nation
from the domination OF It's worst enemies
1t is that view Of the situation that leads
the public mind toward General GRANT rs
the only hope of rcscuing tho nation from
anarchy aud overthrow, Under the banner
of GRANr the Republican party of The
South would put on new life, strength
and Hgor; and where now the Democrats

ALIEN H. STEPHENS has come out for
HENDHICKs and HAMPTON as the Demo-
cratic ticket for ls-o modcstly declining at
the same time nomination, or suggestion
OF it, of himself in place of HAMPTON. This
declaration ought to settle the status of the
little intrigucr in the minds of those who
may have been deceived with the idea that
his late opposition TO the POTTER commit
tee was an indication of his conversion from
Democracy. A man of his intelligence who
would stoop to indorse HAMPTON with his
record of dishonest bankruptcy and of pro-
lection and sympathy for notorious outlaws,
can hardly be accepted us Conservative.
In fact, he indorses the bloody Ku-Klux and
ritle-club tyranny that has robbed the peo-
pie of South Carolina of Legitimate govern
ment but the Gushers will keep OH admir-
ing him all the same.

1T is better we think, for the self-pride
of all concerned, as well as for the
truth and the eternal fitness of things, 10
admit and maintain that the Northern and
Southern people are of one racc-the whites,
we mean-and that they are the equals OF
and with each other in all respects. But
here comes General r. VI. LOGAN, of South
Carolina, with another idea-one that may
be construed as an exatation of General
GRANT and his Northern forces over and at
the expense of the Confederates. In COM
mending General JOE JOHNSTON to the
voters of the Richmond (Na.) district as the
Democratic candidate for Congress, General
LOGAN says;
Gencralship and craftsmanship are not in
compatible; on the contrary, they are closely
allied. War is still the test and measure Of
civilizations. The strongest races prevail, and
ought to prevail, because the strongest are the
hest. They conquer because their civilization
is highest and so the great captains Of history
were also the great statesmen. The qualities
which insure success Ia war, in any age devel-
oped also the highest human type of that age
and the great soldier who embodied the mill.
tary genius of his race represented also its
highest statesmauship.

THE deciphercd cipher dispatches sent by
the Gramercy Park corruptionists to Oregon
pending the electoral count have turned the
tide against the Democracy. Instead of cry
ing Fraud Fraud !! and pointing to the
SOUTH rs they have been in the habit of
doing for year or more, they have either
assumed the defensive, or refuse to pay any
attention TO the matter. The New York
Tribune did an excellent bit of work in this
dcciphcring business. Now it remains only
that public sentiment shall be further
aroused to compel the Hon" PoTrAH to
summon the parties to this infamous corre-
spOndence before his committee.

TIE Democrats in the second Virginia
district have demanded the appointment OF
one J. Arthur JONES to be keeper, OF
something of the kind, at the Nausemond
lighthouse. Collector BRAXroN, of Nor
folk, has refused 10 comply with the de-
mand, and in consequence is denounced as
an officer who ignores true ciyil-servicc re-
form. Very little Importance will be at
tached to these facts except as an illustra-
ton of the Democratic idea of the civil-scrv-
ice system. Ii Mr.. JONES, with the high
sounding J. ARTHUR prefix to his not very
uncommon name, had been appointed when
Mr.. GOODE and his feilOw-DcmOcrats asked
it, Major BRAXTON would have been ex-
tollcd TO the skies for his "JaCksonian firm.
mess" rs the Norfolk L0HRmdrk calls IL, and
Mr.. GoOpE would have been helped along
a little in his campaign against Captain
DEZENnoEF. Such results would have con.
served the Democratic idea aforesaid but

that locality, when the machinery Of the
Federal Government could be used 10 adj

ONO has been disgrnced by case Of
lyncling that would have done credit to
south Carolina or Mississippi, where that
style of summary execution has been recog-
nized as an institution. This case occurred
at Sandusky, under peculiar circumstances,
and brings a foul blotch upon the fair fame
of law-abding and ordcr-loving State. 1t
is not certain that the colored man who was
strung up for having murdered servant
girl in the family where he was engaged at
service was guilty of the murder. lie con-
icsscd to having concealed the body after
he discovered that she had been murdered
TO free himself from suspicion Of having
committed the crime This much he con-
frsscd, but not TO the crime ITSELF and he
was summarily hung under the ku-klux
code without trial or the benefit of the
clergy. 1t occurs to us that the sheriff, II
he had been impressed with proper re-
gard for his duty, would have defended his
prisoner TO the last, instead Of surrendering
him to the mercy of an iriuriated mob
with little or no show of resistance.
