ROBERT Il. LEE said, at the close of the war :
He has exhibited moro true courage, more
real greatness of mind, more consummate pru-
dence from the outset, and more heroic bravery
than any other Union General /" they find a
man who went through the war securing the
love and veneration OF the people, and one
who, after eight years service rs President,
retained the confidence and respect of mon of
all parties a man who comes from the ova-
tions and batteries of the Old World unspoiled
and richer in all that would make him better
Executive than he was before-the people find
such q man. and, disturbed by threatening
dangers and depressed over good work undone,
they turn toward him earnestly and trust
fully, as they did in 1868

their way. General GRANT is in the hands of
the people. No word of his or his friends, or
of his enemies, can change this relationship.
No political diplomacy or chicanery can change
the ultimate result If the people settle in
their own minds that General GRANT must
be the next President, his own personal prefer
onccs must be set aside, and they will be, in
the interests of the Republican party and the
country.

unteer attorney in the prosecution of the
murderers of the CHISHOLM family He will
be an invader, of course; and his knight-err-

in the attitude of foreigner interfering

THE respectable and law-abiding portion
dozers and as5assins of the Southern wing
of that party in a decidedly different man
ner from that adopted by the Democratic
organ in this city, which started out to de-
fend and excuse the murder of DIXON, and
is now engaged in a stupidottempt to show
that it was Of no political significance.
The Buffalo Courier, for example, says 1t
"was q political murder, growing out of q
state of things which can be described only
as ssemi-barbarous.' This kind OF talk is re-
quired rs a partisan necessity of such re-
spectacle journals as the Courier to counter
act the influence of the assassination as well
rs the effect Of the ineXcusable utterances
of the bull.dozers' organs. In short, it now
becomes the duty of the Northern Democ-
racy to denonnce the very methods by
which its party gained ascendancy in the
South and thereby obtained control of Con-
gress. But it is n difficult duty, for the peo-
pie are beginning to understand that the
success of the Democracy in any locality is
certain to be followed by political excesses
and violence of the most deplorable kind,
especially in the bull-dozing region.
Linked so closely as that party is to the for
tunes of the revived Coniederacy, it has be.
come the enemy of good government and
the very embodiment of hatred of free citi-
zenship.

WHY sUnuRz Is HOSTILE TO GRANT.


1t has been repeatedly given to the pub
lie that Secretary scHURz is so far hostile
to General GRANT that, should he be nomi-
mated he would oppose his election; and
the Secretary has taken no occasion 10 cor
rect that statement if it misrepresents his
attitude. Therefore the public mind is pre-
pared TO accept that as Secretary SCHURz's
attitude toward General GRANT at present
and for the future. Mr. J. b. McCULLAGH,
of the st. Louis Globe. Democrat, who knows
SCHURz as well rs though he had been his
architect, publishes au interview which oc-
Cured between himself and GATH" the
publication of which in his own paper veri-
fies its authenticity, in which he reveals the
"t true inwardness of Secretary SCHURz's
hostility TO General GRANT:
"What was the cause of the rupture be-
tween GRANT and SCuURzY Y
I'm the first place, GRANT did not appreciate
that kind of q RcfUrmor who could first count
himself in and then count all his friends ont.
In the next place. SCHUEz was continual
ollice.bcggar. lie was in the ante-room Of the
White House constantly wanting places, not
only in Missouri, but wherever there were
Germans, so rs to build up his influence lie
had his brothcr-in-law, JUssoN, appointed to a
revenue office in Chicago. After while
GRANT got the notion that SoHURz was Hes
sian. and he stopped giving him offices, and
finally took his brother.in-law's commission.
SCHURz then turned in to reform the Admins
| tration. He knows very well, however, that
| his time has come. This Administration will
close him out in this country"
How did ScHURz stand in the late Presi-
dental contestT"
well, as soon as the election was over and
the issue in doubt, he began to slide over to
TILDEN's side. His mixed scrupes, cowardice,
aud interests had suggested to him to abandon
the Republican party"

to do for his influence among the Germans

Is banishing whole race of people from their
native States who as virtuous us themselves,
II not as enlightened. Aud now these men
that have disrogarded their own State laws
come forward shaking with terror lest the Gov
| ernment, in supervising the election nf its own
members, should drive from tho polls the honest,
peaceful citizen 1t looks more like con-
certed plan to get rid of all restraint upon the
bull-dozing influence that has produced this
fase-named solid South.
By the cooperation Of the Northern De-
mocracy there Is q real probability that the
recent enemies of our country will have the
entire control of our Government after tho
next election 1 should suppose that war

should merge all minor questions iu the great
question-Shall that party rule that has saved
the Government abolished slavery, ana has
sustained the financial credit of tho country (;

| on the surface of trade, after having fulfilled
every pledge made to the people, or shall that
| party rule that has fought to the death to de-
stroy the Government who have corrupted the
ballot-box until their elections mere
farce, and whose bull-dozing influence holds
| the courts and jurors and the State Executive
| in perfect terror
Smarting under the CALLING defeat, who can
predict what they will do with the Executive
and both houses of Congress on their side
They will neutralize the amendments of the
| Constitution and practice State Rights, annihi-
lating the Republican party in the Southern
States, and Cypress the negro to their hearts
content. And tho confding freedman will
find himself in the hands OF his old MASTER to
be robbed of his wages, and the master freed
from supporting him.
Some temperance men and some Greonbackers
say that the Republican party has accomplished
the objects for which 1t was formed, and now
let us throw it aside and form new party for
other purposes But this is peculiar kind OF
gratitude that because friend has served you
faithfully therefore you will knock him on

THE ex-Confederates in the several De-

civil service, and hence they do not organ
ize for political purposes Iu this way they
hope to hold on to their places until after
the Presidential election. When November,
1880, speaks, there will be hustling about
for collars and things preparatory to an
exodus, For, unless we mistake the tenn
per of the Republican party, they have
stood this way Of feeding the enemy about
as long as is agreeable to them, and when
another Republican Administration comes
to the front it will "come with banner,
"brand, and bow" and make clean sweep
of those who have no sympathy with tn c
