GEN. GRANTS ASPIRATIONS. = Ex-
Secretary Borie, who has just reached
home, left Gen. Grant and party on the
2ist of May in Shanghai. and at that
time the distinguished travellers were in
excellent health and spirits. Gen. Grant
then expected to start homeward on Sep
tember 10, aboard the steamship City of
Toxic. Speaking of Gen. Grants Presi-
dental aspirations, Mr.. Borie said: at
appears to me as though he were going to
be the next nominee of the Republican
party, aud the next President of the
United States. Wherever he went that
was the opinion held by every one. 1
had made up my mind to ask him to de-
cline the honor positively, but I lacked
the courage. My friends have said there
was no use in my making the experiment,
and even Democrats coincided with them.
The General himself does not allow the
:::atter to bother him. He never alludes
to it in any way. If the nomination was
urged upon him as q necessity, however,
do not think he would refuse it."

In the beginning of the present differ.
cnces between the President and Con.
gress, Mr.. Hayes contended that Con.
gress was trying to ignore his right to
VETO bills by putting them as riders on
appropriation bills-that is, he conted-
cd for his right to veto because the meas.
ures contained more than he thought they
should contain. Now he yetoes because
the bills do not contain enough to suit
him. The Congressman and tho coun-
try, however, begin to see that Mr.. Hayes
idea of the veto power is, that it gives
him the right to make Congress PASS
such laws rs he wishes. There is not a
monarchial government in Europe that
would approximate despotism so COM
plete as will exist in this republic in less
than ten years, if this monstrous peryer-
sion of the theory of our government
is allowed to prevail.

There is no disposition whatever on the
part of the Democrats, to yield an
inch of their position, in regard
to withholding appropriations for the
payment OF deputy ,narshals. The con-
scrvativc element are steadiastly oppos.
ed to any proposition looking to an ad-
journment before all the legitimate ex.
po"'es Of the judiciary department have
been fully provided for, but even the most
conservative are unwilling to include the
payment of the obnoxious marshals in
such appropriations.
Governor Hampton says: "The true
policy of the majority now is to eliminate
the political riders froui the vetoe' bill.
and send it back to the President wuh the
clause repeating the Jurors Test Oath
incorporated in it. The President has
not made any objection to this measure
in any of his veto messages, and take il
for granted that he will sign such bill,
and the Democrats would thereby have
accomplished both the prohibition of
the army ut the polls and tho repeal of
the Test Oath, two of the great points
they have been fighting for. The next
etep would be 10 send back to him sen.
arate bill providing for the payment Of
the regular marshais but containing the
prohibitory clause in regard to deputy
marshals for elections. lie wculd veto
this, and the party could go to the country
upon the issues. ] do uOt think" he
said in conclusion, "that the Democrats
will yield the point as to the election
marshals under any circumstances"
Congressman Evins believes the Dem.
ocrais are solidly opposed to providing
Tor the marshals in question, and that
they will maintain their present position
at all hazards. 1--WE take the ground"
he said. "that the law authorizing the
use of these men is utterly unconstitu
tional, and we cannot consistently or con-
soientioasly appropriate cent for their
support. This is the most vital issue of
end"
Congressman Richardson is in full nc.
cord with this view, and regarding this
issue IA the one most important to the
South, is willing to stay here as long as
the Republicans force us to DO so, rather
than yield a STEP
foregoing views, and tersely adds that,
"While no one wants to 90 home more
than he does, he will stay here until Ga.
briel blows his horn before he will vote
one dollar for the deputy marshals."

representatives, but these are their senti.
ments and of all the Democrats in both

ises to freeze to it.

Mr.. Hayes is evidently spelling for a
political fight, and now that he has forced
the whole Democratic party into the
"last ditch" on the question of using
United States marshals at the polls, he
will probably have his hands full. He
has usurped the place to which Mr. Til.
den was elected, and is now trying to
usurp the whole functions of Congress
in addition. The question is now pre-.
sented squarely to the country. Shall
the will of the people rule, or is one
man to shape the legislation and execute
the laws of the land according to his own
wishes?

President Hayes has sent in his fifth
veto Of Congressional appropriation bills
during the present extra session of Con-
gress. His las. is on the bill appropria-
ting funds to pay the salaries and ex-
penses of marshals with proviso that
none of the funds so appropriated shall
be used for paying the salaries or ex-
penscs of marshals while engaged in po-
licing elections. The President vetoes
the bill because, ho contends, that it de-
prives him Of the power to execute the
laws of the government which he is sworn
to do; but his real objection to it is that
the appropriation as passed deprives him
of the means to control elections in the
interest of his political party. The issue
is now squarely presented to the country.
shall the government become despot-
ism to be ruled by one man, or shall the
representatives of the people have voice
in legislation? According to Mr.. Hayes
position Congress has no right to think
or act for itself, but is confined to obeying
the wishes of the President. 1t is as it
were so many person. assembled to put
measures into the shape so far as form is
concerned to suit the wishes of the auto
cratical President, but without the right
to exercise any independence of judg-
ment whatever. Through all of the Pres
ident's veto message it is clearly commu-
:ce.a Z: Co::s:= .hs. !. :::::s. K; g: 4!
sovereign wishes it to do upon the ques-
ton of appropriations, and that body is
threatened in case of disobedience to
the will of the self constituted despot
with perpetual session as a punish
ment for its presumption. This is but
another step in the direction Of mon
archy. One encroachment upon tho
right of the people to rule has been fol-
lowed by another until, indeed, very
little of the original structure remains.
This is now republic only in name and
form, but with all the odious and dis
tinctivo features of an oligarchy. The
conventions and elections are manipula-
ted by foul combinations, and now the
laws are sought to be framed by the one
man who represents the success of these
desperate conspirators. The end is
drawing nigh. Either the men who
have thus usurped and abused power
must be driven from place, or the last
vestige CT Republican government viii
pass avsy in the United States and be
numbered with the things that we're.

The House has passed the bill admit
ting quinine free of import duty, which
will probably become law, as the Presi-
dent will scarcely think this a matter
dc manding veto. 1t is proper meas.
ure, for there should be no restriction
upon the introduction of standard medi-
cines which have to be used by all classes
of our citia ms for the purpose Of retain
ing their health. When the abolition OF
duty goes into effect it should produce n
reduction of Mt least one-third in the
price OF Quinine.

The GRANTEES are very much disgustcd
with the open manner in which the gov

for President. Honest John is accused
of giving position to such men rs Smalls
isainey and other dcfunct politicians from
the Southern States on an agreement with
them that he is to have the vote of these
States in the nominating convention.
Thus, the Radicals are about to find
the solid South rs great an incubus on
their party as it is on the Democratic,
for it ls the solid Republican South which
will control the nomination of their can
didatc for President; and thus it begins
to be seen that no matter which party
wins tho solid South will have large
voice in the selection of the next Presi-
dent. The only question, therefore, for
the country TO decide is whether il pre-
fers being controlled by the solid igno-
rant and corrupt portion of the South
which is in the Republican party, or by
the solid intelligent and patriotic portion
Of the South which Is in the Democratic
party? This analysis of the question is
beginning TO cause :'io thinking portion
of the country to realize that there is no
merit in the partisan issues presented by
the Radicals, for the South is n part of
the Union and has voice in the trans
action of its affairs. The question then
IL, DO the people Of the whole country
wish to be under the influence of the
solid bad elements of this section which
unite with the Republicans, or of the
solid good influence Of this section which
