THE New York Times, in discussing the
subject of a Republican State Convention
in New York, very justly says: at will do
more harm than good unless it be gov
erned by fixed resolve to make everything
subordinate to the unity and usefulness Of
the party. To effect this object, 1t will have
" to reprcss all efforts to render it tributary
" to tho Federal Administration as firmly
" as other efforts in behalf Of Mr.. CoNk-
LING" The truth is the Republican party
must cmancipatc itself from personal poll
tics and make the sustainment Of its princi-
pies the paramount object of its action, if it
hopes for q future of consequence and power
in the political scale. Parties are organized
for the maintenance of principles, and men
should subordinate themselves to that end,
or they are unworthy to be members Of a
political organization. As personal ambi-
ton predominates a party wcakens and
tends to decay

GENERAL GRANT AS A CANDIDATE.

GENERAL GRANT AS A CANDIDATE.
A reporter of the New York Herald has
surrounded and captured the Hon. HAMII.-
TON FISH at Long Branch recently, aud
held him in captivity long enough to pun
ish him with an interview which drags its
slow length through some three columns Of
that sheet. The ex-Secretary is at present
represented as horny-handed son Of toll
"A yeritable granger-with sunburnt WIS.,
age and all the evidences now that be /" is
"out of politics." that he earns his bread
"by the sweat of his brow The interview
covers several interesting subjects, among
which are General GRANT as q possible
candidate for third term in 1880, the re-
moval of Messrs Arthur and CORNELL,
civil-seryice reform, President HAYES, the
diplomatic service, the surrender Of TWEED,
&C., all of which compose very interest
ing boquet of political flowers, but from
which we propose to Gull only that portion
relating to General GRANT as a candidate
for reelection.
We have from the first regarded the drag
ging Of the name of General GRANT into the
arena thus early as n weak invention Of the
enemy. 1t is another chapter OF the ridicu-
| lous play put upon the political stage in
| 1874 and 1875 by the enemies of General
GRANT, and which the Republican party
was silly enough to'take stock in, with the
results for good or i'll that are now being
reaped by the country. 1t worked 80 well
then that the enemies of General GRANT
have ventured upon its re-enactment at this
time, in the hope that history may repeat
itself But to the interview:
Iasked Mr.. FISH, who was quietly smoking
a cigar, while he watched the beautiful noon
light glimmcrng on the superb eXpanso of
ocean in front Of the Beach House, what he
thought of the attempt to set up General
GRANTS possible denomination for a third term

General GRANT does not desire n denomination
aud that neither he nor any Of his friends have
done anything to start this discussion. | do
not believe any OF his friends had anything ia
do with bringing forward this idea, although
no doubt, thousands of his friends throughout
tho country desire to sec him reelected Presi'

THEY have strange ideas about harmony
and reconciliation in the South. JEFF

The truth of history, when 1t is fully cs'

Mrs SURRATT were guilty Of the crimes for
which they were punished. The only bad
feature of the parallel is that PORTER was
not shot and Mrs. SURRATT was hung. 1t is

they were both innocent simply because they
were both incidentally or directly active At
