1t was a very small meeting-only a
ward convention-in Boston, that put
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler in nomination
for President, a few evenings since. But
he hardly required any formal action any
where, or by anybody, TO place him in the
field. As for his own intentions we sup
pose he has always hoped to be President.
He was a bright boy, and probably the
idea entered his head-which was big
enough for it-at a very early age. This
is right. 1t is an honorable ambition.
Gen. Butler has not to ask any mans con-
sent for the privilege of indulging it.
How much strength as a candidate Gen.
Butler will develop depends largely upon
future events. He is now spoken OF as the
Greenback candidate. But it is not easy 70
tell what this means. There does not APP
pear to be a single man in public life whose
notions of nance will not stretch further
than the most elastic India rubber II ne
thinks votes are to be gained by the
stretching. MI. Bayard tells us that
questions like the currency may well lie III
allegiance until the freedom of the ballot Is
secured. General Butler goes as far as he
who goes furthest in favor of the freedom
of the ballot. What then? Will Senator
Bayard support General Butler for Presi-
dent? He has an aristocratic odor about
him which would combine well with Gen
eral Buffers popular strength, making a
popular compound. Possibly Mr.. Bayard
NAV run on the same ticket as a candidate
for Vice President. One thing which Gen
sral Butler has to recommend him over
| Grant is that he has not already held the
office two terms. Worse things might
happen to the country than to have Gen
eral Butler President still, we hope moth
ing worse will happen.

Hard Test.

Ten or a dozen old topers were yester.
day enjoying the seorching weather which
baked the shingles on a Main-street saloon
when a stranger from the Bay stalked in
and inquired Of the bar tender:
"Have you any mint?'
eyes, sir" was the reply.
"And you have sugar, lemons, brandy,
gin and so fortlll'
~ have"
The stranger turned around to the
crowd, noted the sudden increase of inter-
est in each face, and kindly said:
''Gentlemen, I'm going to treat every
liar in this room. Let the liars-the mon
strous liars-e0me forward"
Not a foot moved.
Gentlemen" continued the stranger in
a p~laintive tone, don't be backward.
Juleps wait for all. Every one Of you who
is known as q liar win please stand up"
Not q man stood. Tne strangers face
betrayed keen disappointment, as he or
dered a rousing big mint for himself,
and not a word was spoken in the place
while he slowly slipped the cooling liquid
through a straw. When he had finished
he --ired his mouth and sail;
"Well, every truth teller in the crowd
will now stand up"
Each man rose up with the promptncss
OF a soldier.
"And sit down again. softly said the
man as he made for the door.
They would rave sat down on him, but
great truth tellers are poor runners.

DETERMINATION,


III thank thee for teaching me his
word" said Shakespeare's "Gratiano" to
The Hebrew. The Republican cry OF MEX
sanitation is ended, but the Republican
d;sposition toward Me~xicanization is not.
The Republican party stands to-day COM
mittcd to a policy Of Mexicanization, as it
has been the party Of Mexicanization for
more than a decade Of peace. What is
determination Is it not placing the
army above the law ? 1t is not the rule OF
the sword, even in the time of peace2 Is
,t not the control of force and not the sway
Of law? Is it not placing the musket over
the ballot? Is it not making Government
bayonets, superior bayonets, the title to
Office? Is it not making the authority OF
the Legislative power dependent upon the
number of uniformed men behind it? All
these things we have seen in that sunny
but unhappy land Of revolutions called the
Mexican Republic. All these things we
have also seen in the sunny half OF our
W Republic under the Republican reg
inee. Men who had been elected Cover
nors have been ~bayoneted out Of Office to
make room for men who hadn't. Legis-
latures the people had chosen have been
forced by Federal muskets to abandon the
legislative halls to which the people chose
them, to permit Government guns to
make laws for free States. ALI this in
time of peace. This is Mexicanization.
On assuming the Presidency, Mr.. Hayes
withdrew the rule Of the Federal army
from the States where it held sway. Each
Republican Convention that has met since
that time has confronted the question,
whether or not it approved such withdraw
al. Not Republican Convention has en-
dorsed that conduct. Last year it may
have been too soon to expect a party to ap-
prove o policy it had so pertinaciously
fought, but time should have SO far
soothed the hatreds that in 1878 a Republic
can State Convention might be found to
approve a course SO eminently just, constr
~tutionaI and peaceful; but not one is found.
Some States, like Pennsylvania and Michl-
gan, condemn that policy, known as the
Southern policy, most severely by silence
touching it. That is emphatically endors-
ing Mexicanization. The nearest approach
to an endorsement which a Republican
Convention has given to the act that put
an end to REORGANIZATION in this country is
the quasi endorsement of the Ohio Repub-
lican Convention, in these words concern
ing the President:
We recognize in his Administration the
highest integrity and patriotism; the most
sincere effort to promote political purity
and harmony, and to ecure general bust
ness prosperity throughout the whole u
try.
This was adopted only after a fight in
Convention, and no attempt was made to
definitely endorse the Southern policy.
There is no halfway house between what
is known as the Southern policy and Mex
termination. The Republican party must
be in favor Of one or the other. There is
no trace anywhere that it is in favor of the
Southern policy. 1t must therefore be for
Mexicanization.

THE Grant movement, says the Graphic,
continues to spread. Republicans of all
shades are rallying around the ex-Presi-
dent as their standard bearer. The first
open mention of his name as q Presiden-
tial candidate for a third term was made
in these columns some time ago, and has
been repeatedly referred to since, both in
text and cartoons. The ready assent to
General Grants c~andidature in 1880 shows
thot we did not mistake the temper Of the
leading elements Of the Republican party.
But a general revival of business next year
may change the whole aspect Of the politi-
cal heavens, and not only weaken the
Grant movement, but put an end to the
threatened Greenback Labor revolution.
II Secretary Sherman can equalize the
value of specie and greenbacks by the LIST
Of next January, and if trade r~evives, we
may hope to escape a great many political

THE GREAT RACE.
Mo,lie Mccarthy Overrnatched.

The Independent is permitted to publish
n letter from Louisville to a gentleman of
Elko. 1t shows that Mollie had no show
with Ten Brock from the start. Follow
ing is the letter:
1t turned out as You predicted. The
mare is no match for the horse, be the dis
lance short or long, but the great conf
dence expressed by her frienes, induced the
belief that she would hold out to the end
and not weaken like a scrub. In my judg-
ment, both horses were in good condition,
with Ten Brock drawn just a shade too
much, but he looked like an old warrior
bent on victory and plumber, while the
mare looked like a fancy tid-bit that would
make but a short Irritation before she
yielded to the king of the turf. lam con-
ceding a good deal when l say that she
would be more nearly matched with such
good ones as Lizzie Whips, Tolono and
Jeanette. The start was an even one and
according to Colston's orders, which
were: ''Jes let the horse tote
her, fass enough to choke her"
| Walker sent the horse to her side, and
he waltzed her to death in two miles and a
half, finishing his grand gallop in a canter
and without q partner, leaving the great
California crack Sin statu quo" that is,
| she has never yet seen a horse go in at the
winning post. OF course there is, and
will be, a great many excuses made for her
failure, among which will be the hot
weather and her not being acclimated, both
of which will fall to the ground with ex-
perienced tulfmen when it is known that
when she got her wind, she was all right,
while the horse suffered from heat for
hours it affected him much more than it
did her. Besides, it is warmer in her beat,
Stockton, Sacramento and Marysyille dur
ing the entire summer than in any portion
Of Kentucky. Secondly, there is more diff
ference between the climate of EPSON
Downs and sunny France, than between
Kentucky and California, and so with that
of New Orleans and Lexington, Texas and
New York City, yet Thurio, an English
horse, won the great prize at Paris over the
French bred crack, Insulaire as did Lex
ington over Lecompt in the great post
stake race in New Orleans as did General
Phillips over Parole in New York this
summer. And yet none of the above win
ners were acclimated, and they all ran
against acknowledged champions on their
own sod. To sun up all, there is the very
best evidence before and after the
race that Ten Brock was and
is far the better horse. First, he has shown
as much staying qualities as ever did Mol
lie second, he has shown much more
speed, even in races with other horses /;
third, nearly if not all his contests nave
been with first-class horses, while she in
all her previous thirteen races never had a
good second-elass horse to test her speed
or sound her bottom. Again, the opinion
Of the majority of turf men and sporting
men was that the horse would win, and
their opinion is worth something. The

In connection with the Courthouse agi-

likely 70 be the most expensive period in
tho history of the county. There are three
notable murder cases to be tried, inyolv-
ing, - they most certainly will, a heavy
drain on the Treasury. Then there is the
general election this fall, which will cost
approximately $1,000. These constitute
obligations to be met that we have not ex-
perienced in the past eighteen months.
Taken altogether, it is not likely that
these extraordinary expenses will aggregate
sac. 900. We will be fortunate ii we get off

NEW YORK, July II.

ent says: Opinions Of the Wal Depart
ment with regard to the Indian war have
again faced about. The troubles in the
Northwest are now spoken of as wearing q
serious aspect. The fact that the Wa De
partment's opinions are generally about
one day behind those expressed in the
newspapers, leads to the suspicion that the
former are now the original. Sherman is
now fastening forward to the West all the
troops that are available for the purpose.
The garrison on the seaboard has been
withdrawn, and heavy artillery regiments
have been armed and drilled as infantry,
and are en- route to the seat of war. An Of
fetal list Of the station of troops show that
to-day there is only one regiment east of
the Mississippi, the 18th Infantry. 1t is
intended to order that west also. The of
fetal reports show that heavy artillery de-
tachments armed with muskets are per-
forming active service.

A PEACE POOL,

When the American branch of the Uni
versal Peace Society met in ~Poughkeepsie
last month, one speaker proposed that
money, often the cause of war, should be
made its preventive. Several nations
should join in making up a heavy purse or
pot to guarantee peace, like a mutual in
surance against fire; whenever one sub
scriber should be invaded by another, the
invaded nation should receive all the
funds, whereupon, to avoid this result, the
invader would quickly withdraw. 1t is to
be feared there would be some practical
difficulty in making up the peace pool, and
In agreeing on the trustees of the fund /;
and further, there might be a put-up ar
rangement between invaded and invader
10 get the spoils and divide them and,
finally, the invader might not only so on
invading, but capture the pool after its
transfer. But while this way Of making
money supersede military operations is
hardly practicable, it would still be we'll to
invest some cheaper substitute for our In
dian warfare. Five thousand dollars a
head would probably be a small reckoning
Of the cost Of killing the red warriors,
while q fraction OF the cost thus far Of the
Bannock war, if expended in keeping the
Indians from starving, would probably
have avoided the wal altogether.
