Our Grosvenor had a card in the Gin
cinnati Commercial one day last week,
and also had himself interviewed by
Commercial correspondent, the result of
which interview appeared in the same
issue of the Commercial.
We would suppose that while our lead
er is thus holding the Republican party
up by the tail, and giving it vigorous
shake, as it were, that this is about all
that the old party should require of its
leader and manager especially when his
extreme modesty is taken into consider
alton; but here comes the Cincinnati
Gazette, and grumbles, as follows:
If Gen. Grosvenor could be interviewed
oftener on the political situation, and
could be induced to express opinions
oftener on the course for the Ohio Re-
publicans to pursue, we should have on
the Republican side a guide, philosopher
and friend, who would give to it the
power which Colonel Woolley has given
to the Democrats Gen. g. is too retiring g
and reticent. This quality leads many
Republicans to suppose that nothing is
| doing on our side, no deep plans being
laid no consultations being made be-
tween managing Republicans to fix up
State and National campaigns, and that,
in fact, we are going by default for lack
of party managers. This should not be.
They that have headlights should not
put them under even a CARLOAD of bush
els but should let them shine along the
track early and often.

THE ANTI-CHINEsE INIQUITY.

Never since the passage of the infa-
nous salary grab bill, has any measure
in Congress caused SO much excitement
as the anti Chinese bill Last Saturday
it came before the House, and the Senate
amendments were concurred in, and now
it is before the President.
The Legislatures of Connecticut and
Rhode Island have unanimously passed
resolutions condemning it. The press Of
both parties is almost solid against it,
Religious bodies are taking action against
it. In a sermon, Rev. j. N. Irwin, Pastor
of Trinity NJ. E. Church, Cincinnati,
said:
The anti-Chinese bill, which will virtu-
ally break that treaty and prohibit fur
ther Chinese immigration, awaits the sig
nature of the President. 1t can hardly
be called a party measure; it is a bid for
votes. 1t has not failed to meet with vi
olent opposition. Senators Matthews,
Hamlin, and Hoar have made strong
speeches against it. Religious teachers
oppose it. The weighty end of the re-
ligious press oppose it, and the ablest
portion of the secular press has uttered
its voice of dissent. 1t is enjoined that
one speak not evil of "the rulers of his
people" but it is certain beyond all con-
troversy that if the President signs the
anti Chinese bill he will disgrace the
United States in the eyes of the Nations,
and conslgn his own name to eternal
infamy.
Gen. Boynton, before the amendments
were concurred in by the House, thus
wrote to the Cincinnati Gazette:
There has been one continued surprise
for both parties in the reception which
the disgraceful Chinese bill has met from
all quarters east of the Pacific Coast
Both parties have learned that the peo-
pie are not demagogues, if so many Of
their leaders are. There are three Pres
idential candidates who find that for
once they have overreached themselves.
From Blaine and Thurman there was
nothing else to expect, but from Bayard
there was reason to look for better things,
and the fact that he was persuaded
against his own views has brought to
light weakness which his friends are
deploring. The President gives no sign
IN regard to the measure, and this is dig
nified and proper, since the measure is
still pending The majority of the Cab
met are strongly against the bill, and 1T
seems incredible that any one can think,
in case it passes, the President will sign

When committee was appointed to
investigate rebel election frauds in the
Southern States. great cry was raised
by Thurman and others about intimida-
tion in the free States, especially in New
York, where the U. S. Supervisors pre-
vented illegal voters from stufing the
ballot boxes. The resolution appointing G
an investigating committee then was SO
amended as to embrace all the States.
The following dispatch from Washing
ton City last Friday shows how the mat
ter is coming out:
Senator Thurman and his associates,
who were once SO interested in the al
legged intimidation and fraud by North
ern Republicans, seems to have lost all
interest in the matter. A subcommittee
of the Teller committee, with Senator
Hoar for Chairman, has been formed to
make this Northern investigation, and
the Democrats have been notified that
the subcommittee is ready to proceed
with the Northern States wherever and
whenever the Democrats desire. The
latter, however have evinced no disposi-
tion to commence the matter, although
the Republicans are ready to support
any proposition that may be made for a
full investigation of the accusations
made by Senator Thurman.

John Hopley, Of the Bucyrus Journal,
was lately removed from the Office of
Postmaster, to which he was first appoint
ed during the administration of Presi
dent Grant. AS it is admitted that he
was competent and faithful public Off
Ger, he is somewhat puzzled to account
for his removal; especially as he was an
advocate of the Presidents civil service
reform and Southern policy. In look
ing about for the author of his woe, we
notice that he fixes upon Charley Foster
as the occasion of it all, and therein we
think he makes a great mistake. How
could he have forgotten the fact that
that truly good man. Davis Mackley
had been praying for his removal fol
some time past? When Mackley stated
in his paper that he was about that sort
of business we felt certain that Hopley
fate was sealed. According to that gooc
mans account. (which was published fully
six months ago, he had then been impor

Mr.. VIM. M. Grosvenor, the forgotten
organizer of the Greeley movement, and
of the Cincinnati convention of 1872, has
appropriately unfolded his Presidential
views to Private Dalzell. We are glad to
know that he is still opposed to General
Grant. We suppose that he has been in
that frame of mind ever since his unique,
if not delicate, army experiences came to
an end. The sublime egotism of protest
ing that he speaks for himself and not
for the New York Tribune, clearly iden-
titles him as the veritable Bill Grosvenor.

The Moral Greatness of the Bible
BY REV. LEWIS EDWARD, D. D., BALA, N. W
(IFanSlatiOn from the WeiSh)

The only truly great men, are those
who are morally great; and the only
truths absolutely great, are moral truths.
While this is admitted in words con-
tinual tendency to ignore the fact is
manifested by many who profess better
things, in the respect paid by them to
wealth, worldly pomp, talent and endow-
n1ent, apart from true merit. The same
principle pervades the whole and this
disposition having attained its full pow
er, is the fountain-head of the greater
part of the infdelity of the age. 1t is
asked, how can the Bible be of God, since
it does not give full exposition of AS
