enough--the latter quality necessary result
Of long service to any commander of large
bodies of men, military or civil-to main
tain his dignity and keep himself, to the
worlds vision, out of the partisan intrigues
with which the country teemed at the time.
He kept his advisers in the background, and
was brave enough to take upon himself the
consequences of the bad advice, when he
followed ii, which was freely given.
For his connection with the corrupt
rings of his household he has the Scotch
verdict-not proven-in his favor, and now
stands out in the whole whisky thieving
connection as a martyr to partisan persecu-
ton. He has the superficial attributes of
docility, an equable temper, and a saIntli-
less which persistently refuses to defend
himself; and these mark him against all
other candidates and give him rank in the
minds of men who do not look behind his
armor of individuality to see if it be thick
steel or painted card board which is possess
ed by no man else. But
Third. Whether this armor be punctured
or not at this day Grant is the only man the
republicans have whom there would be safety
for them as party in running. Edmundsis
born aristocrat; Blaine is absorbed in a sell
fish, INSCRIPTIONS ambition; Conkling is a
disappointed intriguante; Hayes has devel-
oped lack of backbone; Bristow is dicta-
tor; Sherman has no defined financial status;
Logan is trickster; Ben Butler is political
prostitute; Eyarts is a cold-blOoded diplo-
matist; henderson only dark horse, but a
free trader.
Every man of real ability in the party or
of prominence in national affairs, who could
lay claim to the republican nomination,
presents some aspect of personality which
would be obnoxiousto large numbers OF the
party's members, and would make the work
of carrying him tedious and uphill business
from first to last. But Grant, except as to
his impervlous skin of exclusiveness and
reticence, has no character to offend any
body. His financial views, his expressed
opinions on federal revenue, his ability in
diplomacy, his knowledge of international
law, his recognition of constItutionally re-
served rights of the states, are supposable
quantities, but like the roots OF the higher
equations in algebra may be of two values,
positive or negative; and TO be determined
must first be laboriously worked out, be-
cause he won't tell. Hence he is, as to ques
tions of national moment, the safe man,
because his worshipers take for grant
ed his ability to solve them for
the reason that the negative proof is want
ing; while as to local problems there is but
one that the republican party cares about,
in fact; that is the perpetuation of its power,
through the coercion of the southern states
under carpet-bag or negro rule, and Grant,
and not a mere statesman, is the person
who, by military proves, can succeed in
that direction. For these reasons Grant s
nomination in 1880 will be pressed.

APOGEE AND PERIGEE.

Astronomers and those who dabble- in
celestial affairs are greatly perplexed just
now about the weather. The intense heat
staggers all their theories and upsets their
calculations, and as consequence something
has to be done, else science will lose its grip
upon its votaries Old Sol has been subject
ed to telescope scrutiny of more than aver
age severity, and as a result the fact is ascer-
tanned that the spots on his face have all
disappeared, and since some of them have
an area of at least 100000 square
miles it Is easy enough to see that
the removal OF the spots must necessarily in
crease the dimensions of the shining aud
burning surface and make 1T uncomfortable
for the inhabitants of the earth. The Provi-
dence journal, in discussing the subject, re-
marks that 1.-The sun was in apogee, and the
earth IN sphelion, this morning at twenty
four minutes after three; that is, the earth
reached the part OF her orbit in which she

strange as it may seem. the earth Is now
three millions of miles further from the sun
than she was on the LIST OF last January.

the suns distance and using round numbers

BALD mountain seems to be splitting apart.
The assures which have existed for years,
growing longer and wider continuously; the
curve in the mountain side which has been
entered and freely described recently is not
a very safe or pleasant place. Rocks weigh
ing tons fall frequently, crushing all in their
path Other rocks as large are clearly visi-
bic so lightly balanced a hundred feet over
head that the most fearless visitor has no
desire to remain in a cavern where death
hangs SO frailly that a breath would
bring 1t down. New openings to the i'm
mense cave are discovered almost daily, and
each is but the prolongatlon OF deep assures.
Persons dwelling on the mountain side can
hear distinctly the noise made by the rocks
In the caves and assures rolling from their
positions, and many stout heart has quailed
at the possible danger menacing them.

THE Danville Hendricks county, Demo
crAt is making things very lively for the
republicans in that county, and by series
of articles on the county auditors report
and other official documents has created a
desire for Investigation. In the last issue of
the Democrat, In very carefully prepared
article, is charged the grossest irregularities
on county officials for the past decade. 1t
charges that no account appears of record OF
the expense of building the court house. 1t
also shows that while the auditor only re-
ports an Indebtedness of the county of about
$50, 600, yet the interest account on the pub
lie ndebtedness shows the debt to be nearly
$50 600. The expense of the poor in the
county for the past ten years has been
nearly $4,000, or about So to each
voter. It also shows that the expense
of the county for books and stationery for
the last four years has been over $4,000, or
% per cent. more than it costs the
state of Indiana. 1t also shows the most ex-
traordinary expense for repairs to court
house. The charges are strong and forcible,
and what makes them more so Is the PROPOSE
ton made by certain citizens to defray the
expense OF an examination of the books. All
they ask is that the county authorities will
lend them such assistance as will enable
them to examine the books and papers The
republican officials say there is nothing
wrong. If such Is the case it will only add
to the popularity of the republican admins
tration of their local affairs if the investiga-
ton develops no crookedness or irregularity.
