Another Wow.

Another view of the removed manifesto
ton of vitality and strength in the old radi-
cal wing Of the Republican party is that 1t
Is attributable mainly to the feeling OF dis
cyst and eg9tcpRt. WHICH prevails N the
party toward Mr. HAYES ana his iecbTe al
ministratiOn.
Undoubtedly there is n good deal Of truth
in this.
However it may be explained, tho fact
that the radical wing Of the party has been
growing relatively stronger is manifest in
the restoration to seats In the Senate OF
LOGAN, CARPENTER, and CHASDLuR
That Con. GRANTS prospects Of renomi-
nation bave frightened. Of late, with the
revival Of the radical element Of the Bopub-
lican party, is very apparent to every OBJ
server.

will be political experiment attended with
great uncertainty No person not the most
sagacious and far-sceiug OF statesmen. can
foretell with any positivcnc-s how far the

American people.
1t seems TO MS that with an unobiectior-
able Democratic candidate and sound dec
laration of principles, Gen. GRANT. If nomi-

Stewards Case.

Notwithstanding the crushing testimony

charges under which he rc-;s. IL is UNDER
stood the Department of State will permit
him to return 10 Pc6in in his Official
capacity as Minister and to remain There,
unless the invest igatiou should Doe renewed
by the present Buuse Of Representatives
pretence OF Justification for this course
will be alleged upon the ground that the
public interest requires the presence O. u
Minister there.
That sham will not serve the purpose
for which 1t was invented. All important
negotiations with China are now conducted
at Washington with the legation recently
established there and charged with this
duty. At this very time notifications of
the BURLINGANIE treaty relating To emigra-
ton are under discussion, and MI SEWARD
would have no part in them and no connec-
tion with the question il be We're in Pckin.
A Secretary OF Legation, who Is also inter-
prefer, Is now acting as Minister during
SEwARD's absence, and is abundancly COM
petent to perform every function Of an
Office which is really not needed as all.
The fifty pages OF Chinese correspondence
in the last volume of Foreign Relations,
show clearly that the work OF the mission
is common routine.
After the House OF Representatives had
refused TO make an appropriation for Greece
In the last Congress, Mr.. EvABTs addressed
a letter TO the House Committee. urging that
the usual salary should bee allowed, and he
gave as a reason that the Eastern question
had assumed such bearings as TO require
the presence Of Minister at Athen, who
had made himself chiefly conspicuous by
writing accounts Of court balls in which he
had personally figured as an American
dancer There was as much force In that de-
mand as there is now in the preteXt given
for sending SEWARD back TO Pekln. II there
be any desire To cultivate friendly terms
with China, and 10 remove existing OBJ
stacles to the introduction Of American en-
terprise in that vast empire some respect
must at least be shown for tine ruling au-
thorty. No greater insult could be offered
