1t is gravely stated as among the
probabilities that General Grant will
be The republican candidate for the
presidency in 1880. Stranger things
have happened. He would probab-
ly not be averse to a nomination,
and radicalism is beginning to turn
toward him with the we.
perish appeal of 1868. But inquir.
les made Of Blaine or Conkling will
develop the fact that each of them
know a man who is much stronger
than Grant.

Governor HAMPTON has made a
genuine triumphal journey through
the State of South Carolina. At
every town and village he was receiv-
ed with popular demonstrations of
delight. Even the colored people in
some places turned out to greet him.
At one town a colored woman step
ped in front of the crowd and said:
Governor Hampton! You stay Gov
ernor. Yves had a better time sence
you's made Governor than Yves had
before sence the war"

Whenever parties fail to meet the

Whenever parties fail to meet the
Of the people, they are on
the down grade. A wholesome dis
regard of the commands and de-
mands of mere politicians is a most
cheering omen. That the people are
not only the source of power, but
power itself, is often illustrated at
the ballot-box. Parties can no more
live because of past usefulness than
can the men of whom they r COM
posed. The best thought and the
purest purpose of the age must be
their cloud by day and pillar of fire
by night. The call of duty must be
as the voice of Omnipotence. Fail
ure is stamped upon the forehead of
any party which only lives for self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, or the equally de-
basing principle of gold for the few
and poverty and hunger for the
many. The Democratic party can
only succeed when it manifests such
a spirit of progress, and determine
ton to deal fairly with the claims
and rights of the masses, as shall
win the devotion of the best and pur-
est of our race. Each brave, ring
ing avowal of party principle should
pledge it to the grand idea of the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. He is neither a good citizen
nor a successful politician, who will
dare preach any lower doctrine. That
party alone is safe which can cause
the toiling millions to support it, be.
cause it is true to their interests.
1t is n of the blessings of free gov
eminent that parties which outlive
their usefulness, not only may, but
mast die, and that speedily. Meas
ures, not men, constitute the soul Of
party. It is to measures, not men,
it is by the right lines of correct
principle, not mere party lines, the
pure, good and true men will bring
their grand devotion, swapping party
lines in their march as gossamer
threads. Pot house politicians are
buried beneath an avalanch when
the masses move to the celestial mu-
sic of Right. As the only hope OF
life then, should parties with unwa-
verfng devotion stand by tho interest
and guard the rights of the masses,

The Maryland Legislature passed
the following resolution on the I'd
inst. Whether Congress will take
any action in the matter remains to
be seen:
"Resoleed, by the General ASSEM-
Oily of Maryland, That the Attorney
General of the State be and hereby
is instructed, in case Congress shall
provide for expediting the action, to
exhibit a bill in the Supreme Court
of the United States on behalf of the
State of Maryland, with proper par
ties thereto, setting forth the fact
that due effect was not given to the
electoral vote cast by this State on
the 9th day of December, 1876, by
reason OF the fraudulent returns
made from other States. and allowed
to be counted Professionally by the
Electoral Commission, and subject to
judicial r%evisions; and praying said
court to make the revision contem-
plated by the act establishing the
said commission, and upon said revi-
sion to declare that the returns from
the States of Louisiana and Florida,
which were counted for RUTHERFORD
B. HAYES and WIN. A. WHEELER,
were fraudulent and void; that the
electoral votes of said States were, in
fact, cast for SAMUEL j. TILDEN as
President, and THOMAS A. HENDRICKS
as Vice-President, and that by vir-
tue thereof, and of one hundred and
eighty-four votes cast by other States,
of which eight were cast by Mary
land, the said TILDEN and HENDRICKS
were duly elected; and praying said
Court to decree accordingly"

The New York Tribune, low be-

The New York Tribune, HOW be-
coming aconspicuous anti Hayes or
gan, is the only paper in the country
which devoted six columns of small
type to How's speech. Although it
was made on a resolution about
Whitaker, there are only two or
three brief paragraphs in it that re-
fer to Whitaker at all and these are
of no account, as they had all been
answered before. Most of it is a IT,
rade against the South for its ante
6eltum slavery sins and against
Hayes for his disruption of the Re-
publican party. His title is thus in
validated:
"The President cannot deny the
title of Governor Packard and defend
his own. He cannot permit Packard
to be onsted because he was not
elected, and retain the Presidency
himself, because the great commits
sion decided he was elected. You,
sir, if you know you do not own my
farm, cannot honestly keep possession
of it, although it be awarded to you
by the judgment of the highest court
in the land"
His civil service reform is thus
Knocked at: sThat is not reform.
That is tyranny-tyranny which no
predecessor of his ever attempted
and no successor will venture to i'm
itate." "No shepherd can keep a
flock around him without salt" His
general character was derided in
in these words: "He has offended
both Republicanism and free citizen
ship as Samuel j. Tilden never would
have offended them"
