The Rev. DR.. PECK, of Brooklyn, N. Y, in
an address at the closing Of the Methodist
camp meeting at Ocean Grove last Thursday,
without naming him paid high tribute of
praise TO .exPresident GRANT which was
received with prolonged applause. lie said in
substance there was time when we had q
President who commanded the respect of
everybody-whO had some firmness of purpose;
and stated In illustration that when protest
came up to him from Yirginiaagainst colored
mau acting as mail agent between Petersburg
and Richmond, he replied that the man was an
American citizen, and in his official capacity
represented the United States and not race
or class; and the fact Of his being a colored
man was no cause for his removal that as q
Government official he should be respected,
and an insult to him was an insult 10 the
United States.

THE Florida Patriot, published ut Talla-
hassee, has changed hands md politics. 1t is
now owned by ex-senator CoNovER, R,who an
nounces that it will support the Republican
cause i'll the future. In its issue of the 23d
ultimo there is q flat-iooted preference, edi-
torially given, for Secretary SHERMAN for
President in 1880 and Judge SETTLE for
VicePresdent. This demonstration un-
doubtedly defines the lines Of contest within
the Republican party of Florida MS regards
the next nomination, for the Jacksonville
Sun and Press still retains the names OF
GRANT and SETTLE ut its masthead as its
ticket for $780, However it may turn out,
it is apparent that Judge SETTLE will enjoy
the honor of being voted for by the Florida
delegation in the next convention for Vice
President in fact, it is not improbable that
he may also receive the votes of all the
Southern States for that nomination, except
Tennessee, which now seems to be pledged
| to HORACE MAYNARD. But rs the Patriot
sagely remarks
1t is quite too early to forecaste the politi
| cal future in the matter of the Presidential
nomination, and Southern Republicans viii
\ have but little agency in directing it, They
| are, however, we are gratifed TO see, beginning
to organize their ranks, aud will do their utmos

IL MIST COME uNsouGur.

The New York Graphic having discovered
that the Herald has become greatly ngitated
at the prospect that General GRANT may
possibly become candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1880, takes occasion TO administer
to it little soothing-syrup in the follow
ing shape:
There is no certainty of General GRANTS
being candidate for the Presidency In
the next or any subsequent Presidential can
vass. There has been no certainty about 1t
from the start. As has been pointed out in
these columns oyer and over again, under GER.
tain conditions the nomination of General
GRANT would be inevitable. If, from any
cause, the internal peace of the country were
threatened by agitation, or if the Southern
question again became prominent, GRANT is
the natural candidate of the Republicans. He
would typify the purpose and the ability to
preserve the peace at all hazards, while he
would represent Solid North as accepting
the challenge of the "Solid South" And there
are also other conditions, of less grave nature,
under which his nomination would be certain.
GRANT will not now any more than formerly
move finger;joint to obtain the prize If 1t
| comes 1t must come unsought, as it has come
| unsougbt before, He will take the nOmina-
| tion only on the urgent representation of his
| political friends that his candidature Is an alb
| solute necessity. Every one who knows the
| General Is well aware that he has no banker
| ing after oitical office. 1t was great sac
rifce when he threw up his position as General
OF the Army to accept the Presidency. 1t
would be now just rs great o sacrifice were he
compelled to forego the pleasures of private
| life and enter again into active politics.
| Such being the facts, how idle is all the
| bother about GRANTS candidature! How
mean are all the doubts about his sincerity.
| The General has never sought any nomination.
| Ha ia nnt nf tI,a n N nj
| sought danger; but in military aud civil life
he has done his duty. The most hopeful way
Of preventing GRANTS nomination is not Ia
make it necessary. If it is Necessary it will
be made, newspaper denunciation TO the con-
trary notwithstanding.
To the ordinary mind there seems no In com.
patibilty between being candidate for the
Presidency in Il certain contingency and being
future President Of yet Uniformed inter.
oceanic canal company. Indeed, there seems
no impossiDllity, oven, in resigning the Pres
dency of such a company in order to accept the
Presidency of the United States. The Presi
dency of private corporation does not seem
to be an iusuperable bar TO political ambition
in this country. Besides, the President of the
InterO Oceanic Canal Company will be not toe
: busy for some time to come TO attend to press.
ing business of Il political character. Our es
teemed contemporary has inferred a very wide
conclusion from very narrow premises. Gcu
eral GRANT may not be II Presidential nomiuee
but the Presidency Of the Nicaragua Cana
Company would not stand in his way if thu
| call came.

from the State. Altogether, he is q queer
candidate for party whose only excuse
for existence is the plea that the new con-
stitution must be administered by its
friends, not its enemies. But he is n good
Democrat, and was nominated as such for
purposes of coalition. lie was accepted by
the Democrats, who rejected the rest of the
Biks ticket and nominated their own can
didates for minor offices. The struggle is
substantially between PERKINS and GLENN,
with the chances in favor of the former.
1u the Congressional contest the problem
Is simpler, for the reason that the new con-
stitution people have made no nominations,
and the campaign has been conducted very
much the same rs in years past. In the
San Francisco district Congressman HORACE
DAVIS is a candidate, with good prospects
of success. The Second district is over
whelmingly Republican, aud will probably
return Mr.. PAGE. In the Fourth district
Governor PACHECo, who was counted out
by the last House. has been nominated
again, aud will probably succeed upon the
prestige of the wrong done him by the
Democratic Congress. In the Third dis
trict the Democrats and Workingmen have
combined to support Mr.. LU1TRELI, against
whom there is much feeling on account OF
his past career in the House, and his sue
cess is doubtful. In short, the Republicans
expect to elect three out of the four men,

HAVE WE A BounBoN SOUR AMONG us1

The Sunday Herald says: "THE REPUB-
LIcAN compliments us with column
editorial on our action in keeping the
order constantly before the eyes of JOHN
SHERMAN"
If the Herald is "hypocriticll sham and
a delusion too flimsy as n snare "-"ab-
surd y" preposterous ~" u mere piece
of fiddle-faddle "-it can take the alleged
compliment of column (spina) long to
itself and welcome. But upon most under
standings the alleged compliment would
have produced the unmistakable sensation
of vigorous Koo de pc, as the French editor
Of the Herald would say
If some people will take that sort of
thing to themselves, and regard kicks as
compliments, it can't be helped. Most
Americans resent such compliments, be-
| cause
| "A kick in that place more
Hurts honor than deep wounds before"
But we utterly dsclaim having had any
intention to kick, or wound, or compliment
any part of the Herald, no matter how
temptingly it may have been exposed. We
have too much regard for the Herald to al
lude to 1t rs a "hap-doodle," especially
since it begins to show that it is quite
another sort of doodle e"-almOst yankee
doodle" in fact, Judging from the stalwart
way in which it pitched into the Brigadiers
in its last " Shoot-Down Argument" in favor
of a Solid North"
We surmise from the Herdld's allusions
to " horns of dilemmas," and John SHER-
"MAN treating the President" (what would
the Good Templars" say to that p and the
Republicans not being inclined to take O
" horn while JOHN SHERMAN is treating
"au serieur," or by way of joke, that last
Saturday night was too much for It. Hav
ing gotten things so badly Buttercup-ed
the Herdlds mistake of its own identity
(imagining itself civil-service order) and
its excessive indulgence in French phrases
a Ia bourgeois, is quite natural, az natural
as it would say in its happy moments. But
tits greatly to its credit, as it has often said
it, that its usual language is neither Roosiar
nor Proosian, nor Italian, but genuin,
Lindley Murrian Anglo-American.

THE cry of cheap Chinese labor" may
soon be changed to denunciation in this
country of cheap labor all over Europe
The reduction of wages in England still
goes on, and rs a natural result the number
of emigrants to the United States from Great
Britain is liable to increase. The same con-
ditions exist in other European countries
and America cannot fail in due course Of
time to feel the resultant effects in an in
crease of foreign laborers in our midst Thi:
expected influx, however, can easily be ac-
commodated and will not be unwelcome,
especially if it can be diverted to the de-
velopment Of our agricultural resources.

An address was delivered on behalf of
the citizens, to which Grant responded
with what many regard peculiar
significance. Saying that he wished
he had known ten years ago what he
had lately learned, and that his exper-
ience in this part of the world would
be of great interest and possibly of
great use in the future.
In the procession to the residence of
the United States consul where he re-
main in Shanghai, the volunteer rifle
corps detached the horses from the
carriage and they themselves drew the
vehicle to its destination.
Several days will be occupied with
receptions of foreign consuls and Chi
nese dignitaries, among whom is the
viceroy of Nanking, who sent from Pc
kin to bear welcome from the central
government.
Grant will proceed in the Ashuel TO
Chefoa and probable to Tientsin.
The Richmond arrived at Hongkong g
May 10th, and Immediately departed
north for several of the party, if it was
needed.

definite announcement has as yet been
made.
