no gentleman In this country is mentally

But Pennsylvania must be seem" or
course sho must. Ever since tho Chicago
Convention which nominated Mr.. LINCOLN,
tho Republican Ring which runs that un-
happy Commonwealth has olamored to DO
seen, and tie loudcst demand has always
been for q Cabinet office. So the elder CAM
ERoN became Secretary OF War, and so the
younger was introduced through much trib-
ulation into tho congenlal society Of tho
GRANT Administration. II he could have
remained under HAYES, Pennsylvania would
have been eminently satisfied; but HAYES
had q vague notion then of atoning for the
great Fraud by disowniRg tho most con-
spicuous OF the Republican leaders who had
devised and oonsummated 1t. He began by
repudiatinR, In tho face f tremendous
pressure, Secretary CAMERON, 10 whom he
owed his nomination, and, In large part, the
fraudulent count and inauguration. This
was the first evidence OF his swelling
gratitude toward the bold man who picked
him up out OF the obscurty Of local Ohio
politics, and almost single-handed made him
the nominee OF the Republican party
But the Fraudulent President is OF a diff
ferent mind now. He has surrendered,
body and boots, 10 tho stalwarts and is
probably willing enough TO see Pennsylva-
MIA according TO tho desires of her ruling
politicians. But to see Pennsylvania In this
sense IL not TO see MACVEAGH. lie is SEN
ator CAMERoN's brother-n-law, but he Is a
very different sort OF man. A lawyer In
the first ranks OF his profession, and n
scholar whose tastes and attainments alike
hold him above the level Of the governing
class in the Republican party Of that state,
his character is as much beyond reproach as
most Of theirs 10 .3encath it. He would not
serve the present purpose at all. His APP
pointment would be taken by the Ring as a
slap in the face. second only in severity 10

he was obedient and faithful TO his masters,

A Change Of Bsse.

Nothing could more emphasize the failure
OF Mr.. HAYEss administration than the fact
that CHARLES FOSTER has 10 abandon all
its distinctive principles TO get nomination
for Governor from the Republican party in
Mr. HAYEs's own State.
But while this is a renunclation OF all
there was in Hayesism. so to speak, 1t
serves a grand purpose in contributing es-
sentially TO the defeat OF Gen. GRANT.
Suppose, for instance. the Republicans
should succeed in electing man like JOHN
SHERMAN President. The country would
survive it. different man, with different
principles, would be far preferable; but,
as we say, the country would survive.
Whereas II any man were to be elected to n
third term, 1t would amount to a virtual
adoption OF the monarchical idea Of per-
petual rule in the same individual or the
same family.
The first thing 10 be aimed at is TO defeat
GRANT and a Third Term. II 1t were the
only alternative, We would gladly accept
even SHERMAN to do this.
OF course we should prefer CHURCH, TIL
DIN, DAVID DAVIS, or PALMER; but, better
than GRANT, anybody else.

1t appears that the de fdcto Secretary Of
War has small faith in the political future

tration and has therefore fixed himself with
rather indecent haste to jump into Judge
DILLoN's shoes before that gentleman has
seen fit TO kick them from his own heels
1t is no secret that MCCRARY can have the
judge-hip if he wants it, and none that he
wants it badly. He is wise in his day, and
seeks the bomb proofs early.
Mr.. DEvENs has not been success as dc
fdci0 Attorney-Gcncral, and it is well known
that he would also be glad to escape into a
comfortable iudgoship, on failing in that, to
stop for a season in MCCRARY's present
halfway house. This arrangement will
give Mr. HAYES chance to select an At
torncy-Gcncral who might, il he were COM
pctcnt and honest, become the most import
ant officer of the Cabinet. The opportunities
Of great public service in that Office were
never better than now; but it is altogether
too much TO expect that HAYES will appoint
n 1T man. lie will doubtless choose some
small agent Of the great Fraud, or some
soryiccablc personal attorney of JOHN SHER-
MAN. The Philadelphia newspapers sug-
gcst WAYNE MACNEAGH; but we predict that
WAYNE MACYEAGH will never be HAYEs's
Acknowledgement. He is on terms Of per-
sonal intimacy with EyARTs, and is under
stood to be deep in the counsels Of the State
Department, much as the late CALEB CUsH-
ING was during the incumbency OF Don
HAMILTON FISH. But he has exhibited no
desire for responsible Office under the Fraud
ulent Administration, and is not likely at
this time OF day TO commit the error Of ac-
ceptng it, II offered. lie will doubtless re-
serve himself for better things than the fag

The Excursion Party 10 Meet Gen.
Grant.

1t is announced that the arrangements for
an excursion party TO meet Gen GRANT at
San Francisco, and accompany him across
the Continent, are all completed.
We are glad to hear this. We hope the
party will be large, as there is every reason
10 believe it will be- for the crop of fools
and snobs is abundant.
The reason We hope the party will be largo
Is because we think it will be very injurious
to Gen. GRANT, and for the good Of the coun-
try we want 10 see him defeated.
The GRANT movement eliminated too early
TO be successful. Even now it Is manrestly
on the decline.
The American people propose to elect
their own President. They do not think for
a moment Of having him dictated TO them
by the snobs and sycophants Of any party.
The more receptions Gen GRANT has tho
better; for the less will be the political
support he will receive; and TO save this
country from that first. long stride toward

Troy to meet the Union College base ball nine
Tho faculty not only refused to let them 20. but

wonder the youths resented this blow at college

with fish horns and gave vent to their feelings

been undeservedly used. and resentment was
aroused. The college nine has practised as

clude ? That many people strongly feel that

that much reliance was put on the testimony OF

pies; that tho Judges charge could not have
been more deadly against them II adopted as
the plea OF one side; that the fact Of the MUIR
