Gen. Grant and the Figures.

good many Jealous Republicans affect
to believe, and perhaps really think that
with GRANT for n candidate, and with troops
at the polls, and with plenty Of supervisors
and deputy marshals, thoy can surely carry
the next Presidential election.
Have these sanguine stalwarts taken n
fair look at the figures; Let them ponder
their lessons. and gather wisdom from the
same.
A majority Of the electoral votes is 1876.
The class of Republicans TO whom we refer
and indeed all kinds of Republicans, admit
that their candidate, whoever he may be-
will not receive n single electoral vote in
the Southern States, aud that his solo re-
lance must be upon the North.
The Northern States which went for
HAYES in 1876 cast lGG votes. This number
is 10 short of majority. -Four Northern
States went for TILDEN-Ncw York with IS
votes Connecticut with G, Now Jersey with
., and Indiana with l5-making an aggrc-
gate Of g.. Let US, for the sake Of the culcu-
lation. cOncedc that GRANT would carry all
the Northern States that HAYES did, and
then whore is he to make up the deficiency
OF 10 votes IL will be remembered that the
whole South is conceded 10 the Democratic
candidate. And upon the theory that GRANT
would carry all the HAYES States, he must
get the needed 10 votes from the four States
that went for TlLDrN.
Where can he iiud them ? Indiana Is as
sure TO 60 for the Democratic nominee in
1850 rs is Kentucky. Connecticut may vote
for the Republicans. and there is a bare
possibility that New Jersey might go in the
same direction though there is far less
probability that these two States should
take that course than there Is that Oregon,
California. and Nevada should throw their
~ votes for the Democratic candidate.
But give to GRANT the 10 votes Of Con-
necticut and New Jersey and he would still
lack four Of a majority.
or course II GRANT could secure all the
Northern States that went for HAYES, and
then add to them the % votes of New York,
he would be elected. This result would give
total of POI votes. But II he were to carry
New York and all the Northern HAYES
States except Ohio the loss Of it, % votes
would reduce his total TO 49, which would
be six short OF n majority.
We advise the friends OF GRANT and the
bayonet to carefully study these figures.

An Obliging Republican Candidate
War Democrats May support Him.

We have heard OF a man IN a hurry who
said he was willing TO ride just as fast as
any horse could run. Mr. JoHN SHERMAN
appears to be OF n like oblging disposition.
He is not only willing to be a candidate for
President. but, good soul! he is willing to
be elected. Nice man that JOHN SHERMAN.
The letter he has written 10 gentleman III
this city on the subject OF the Presidency is
really funny. There is no affectation Of
false modesty about II. In reference 10 the
office Of Governor OF Ohio he assumes that
without doubt he might have been nominated
TO that and elected. II only he would have
accepted; but sense of duty forbade.
What, he, the great JOIN SHERMAN, accept
the small, local Office OF Governor of Ohio!
Heaven forefend! The only man in the
country capable Of administering the Treas
ury Department in this crisis-cousidering
that ALEXANDER HAMILTON was unfortu-
nately killed in duel--for him to accept a
mere State Office was thing not to be
thought OF.
At the same time Mr.. SHERMAN is not
above accepting the Office of President
And he would not enioin any cXclu-iveuoss
as TO those who should vote for him. lie
would include all war Democrats as well as
all Republicans.
In other words-and this is the true con-
struction of his letter-JoHS SHERMAN an
nounces himself as a candidate for President
on the war issues
1t rests with the Democratic party 10 de-
termine whether it shall be possible on
these issues, to elect a Republican candi-
date.
In one point OF view, Mr.. SHERMAN's let
ter is shrewd. He knows there is nothing
TO recommend GRANT but his hostility To
the South. Mr.. SHERMAN at once outbids
GRANT by showing himself to bee mere
strongly sectional, while tradition against a
third term lies in GRANTS way and not in
SHERMAN's.
We believe Mr.. SHERMAN would gladly ac-
cept the nomination for Governor Of Ohio II
he could get it. We believe HAYES might
have obtained it for him, and would have
done so If HAYES had not been himself hop

Gambling in New York.

Gen. SMITH last month introduced Mt a
meeting Of the Board ~ Police Commissions
crs n resolution instructng the Superin-
tendcnt Of Police To- report the number OF
gambling houses in the city. The resolu-
tion having been passed, Superintendent
WALLING has made his report In accordance
with it.
From this report We learn that eleven
gambling houses are open in the Fourth
Precinct, three in the Fifteenth Precinct,
six in the Twcnty-sixth Precinct. and thir-
teen in the Twenty-ninth, while eight have
been closed since the passage Of Gen. SMITHS
resolution.
That IL, according 10 the Police Inspectors,
there are but thrty-thrce gambling houses
in New York at this time superintendent
WALLNG takes credit to himself for having
put the entire machinery OF the police at
work for the suppression Of gambling. with
the result OF having reduced the number of
the establishments whore it Is practiscd TO
these few. Those which remain. we are
told by him, cannot be- closed for the lack of
evidence TO prove their real character Yet
they are the very ones whose existence is
most notorious. some OF them actual land
marks known Of everybody.
The truth Is, there is a vast amount Of
humbug about this business OF closing up
gambling houses and other disorderly es-
Establishments, and nobody knows it better
| than Superintendent MAILING himself.
Whether the notorious gambling houses
are really or nominaly closed or permitted
to remain open, there are always just a.
many places for gambling IN New YORK as
| there is demand for The business goes
on as regularly as that Of selling puts and
/ calls, and the one is about a. dcicnsible as
/ the other. Spasms Of virtue come over the
authorities now and again, when some of
the gambling houses must either intcrmit
operations on conduct them on a limited
scale for the time being, to appease the pub
! lie excitement.
While gambling goes on the same ms ever,
and in one place or in one form or another
whether we hear Of its suppression or not
il is gratifying 10 know that there are now
fewer reports than there formerly were of
swindling games and the successful tricks
of sharpcrs to take in the foolish and Tia,
simple. Gambling is dull ms business
principally because it is not profitable
Men can't afford to put up such heavy
stakes ms were common ten years ago, but
in one way or another they are betting ol
taking hazards to-day as in the past; and Il
money gets flush again. we shall see tho
gambling houses in full blast and the gam
blers in fine clothes.
