THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer is so unfriendly to Sec.
retary SHERMAN as to charge the recent re-
newed outburst of BR1sTow spleen against
General GRANT to the score Of the SHER-
MAN boom. He argues that the "howr'
against GRANT is intended to show that no
one but SHERMAN can carry Ohio. There
is no law against such argument, and per-
haps there is no reason to sustain IT, But
it is unfortunate for Secretary SHERMAN
that included among his most earnest sup
porters are number of the most active
Bristowites of 1876.

ALTHOUGH GRANT has been cultivating cd
itors of late, he refused to SEQ his admring
friend CLAPP the other evening, remarking,
when he turned his card down, that "CLAPP
was no editor" "The old man" seems to
have kept up with the news pretty WE'LL
Post.
In regard to this paragraph it would be
flattery to say that the writer of it is n liar,
sneak and coward Suffice it to say
that up to the time when this bald lie was
uttered Mr. CLAPP had not sent his card to
General GRANT at all since he returned
from 'his foreign tour 1t was not neces-
sary, though he had spent some time in the
Generals company. BACON truthfully says
A liar would be brave toward GOD, while
"he is coward toward men; for liar faces

the similar troubles In the Southern States
few years ago, would have been secuted
by the Independent Press Of the North, the
Tribune included. But now that about
$4,000 voters in a Northern State are
threatened with dishanchisement a great
hullabaloo is raised, when nothing was said
about the self-same outrage perpetrated by
the Bourbons upon quite a million Repub-
lican voters in the South.

WE have known General A. w. BISHOP
for some twenty years, and from what we
know of him we regard the bitter assault
made upon him by the Fort Smith Nclc Era
Republican, as unprovoked and ground
less. Its exceeding bitterness betrays an
animus that apparently centres in some
personal feeling, which renders justice
scarcely probable under any circum-
stances. There was every inducement for
General BISHOP to remain in Arkansas, If
he possibly could have done so with COM
fort, but ostracism finds so many ways OF
annoyance that its presence is insufferable,
and hence our old friend, who hes led an
honorable life, has quietly left the State
and returned North. The Neto Era could
at least have restrained its fire in the rear
under the circumstances, but its gun has n
recoil.

IN speaking of HART, the colored pedes

IN speaking of HART, the colored pedes-
trian, the New York Herald says:
The promise of the young negro Hart to be-
come one of the leading pedestrians of the
world was handsomely fulfilled on Saturday
night, when the boy retired from the track
with five hundred and forty miles to his credit
This far exceeds Rowel's famous five hundred
and thirty, which were considerably shorter
than reported, and approaches closer than any
other has done to Weston's famous English
record. As for Hart himself, his manners and
achievements have made him as popular as
any pedestrian in America, and if his record
really WAS rs it appears, he may confidently
challenge any other pedestrian in the world

WHEN slavery is really abolished on the
Island of Cuba, it will be time enough to
rejoice over the emancipation of the bonds

those who are rejoicing over the action of
the Spanish Cortes in the premises, will do
well to save their breath.

punishment would certainly follow re-

TILDEN's little game in Maine, now be-

Cipher Ogre thrives-or tries to, which is
not exactly the same thing.

APLAIN, unpretending citizen is General
GRANT, and one entirely free from desire
for ostentatious display or the willing
acceptance of royal homage" as the Dem
ocratic press is pleased to phrase 1t. 1t hap
pened, however, that the 76 Dcum Lduddmus
the offer of thanksgiving and praise habit
ually used by the royal family of England
and sung upon the entrance of Napoleon
into the cathedral of Notre Dame, was
being sung by the choir of the Metropolitan
church when the General and his family
entered that sanctuary last Sunday. This
accident will, of course, be harped upon by
the Opposition press as further proof that
the Empire is impending, But il viii serve
to expose to the minds of all intelligent
people the emptiness Of that kind Of flap
doodle. On such an accident as this, tho
New York Sun will begin to parcel out tho
dukedoms.

The Star entirely misinterprets our re-
mark that it "twinkles with neutral
Democratic twinkle in politics." when it
says we style it a Democratic paper, for
that would imply some posiIiveness of char
acter-a thing Of which it is not suspected.
But it utterly neglects our inquiry as TO
GARCELoNs honesty, which it indorses so
heartily. On that point 1t no doubt con-
eludes that the least said the better.

THE New York Times puts the Maine
question in a nutshell, when it says:
1t is a mockery for GARCELoN to say that
the legislature Is the final judge" of the

men who arc known not to have been elected
and then calmly tell the rightful members
that they must look to the usurping members
for redress.

II is IA noteworthy fact that only those
who are opposed to his denomination ever
presume to question General GRANT about
his future political intentions or desires
His most discreet friends invariably avoid
all alusiou to this subject in his presence,
as they have the right to do, aud the result
is he is never approached upon the subject
except by his enemies. In them, as a mat
ter of course, he is ungracious enough not

Hayes by Mr. Davis, of Illinois, and

Hayes by Mr.. Davis, of Illinois, and
said there was an effort to coerce the
President into extreme measures.
Notwithstanding this, Chicago had
just given a Democratic majority of
1882 to Carter Harrison. This Demo-
cratic victory vas the first response
from q Republican city to the appeal
made to the people. The issue was
whether or not IN this free country
armed soldiers, the paid servants Of
its soyereigns were to come to the
polls and drive those sovereigs away.
This was the issue that had been
made and the first response to it., in
place Of putting ramrods into the
Presidents backbone had taken all
their starch and stiffness from the
Republicans themselves.
After several farther attempted
amendments to the army a%ppropria-
ton but had been defeated, the COM
mittee rose and reported. The
amendments to the bill which had
been agreed en- and were all unim-
portant were adopted without divis-
ion. The bill was then passed. Yeas,
l48 nays, 1922. A strict party vote.
The Nationals voted as follows. AT

cite, Jones, Ladd, Lowe, Murch,

result was received with applause on

THE NATIONALS
LIN the House Of Representa-
tives.

Whatever heretofore may have
been the specious doctrines of this
organization both as to currency and
industry, these have been measurably
practically stripped of their preten-
tiousness by the current of events.
Return to comparative prosperity has
eliminated much that was vexatious
and complicated in the relations of
labor to capital. and the successful
Inauguration and maintenance of
specie payments has done much to-
wards affording time for calmer and
more searching investigation into the
methods of the ancients, and especial
iy those of Venice, in conducting
forced issues of money.
So far as continuing greenbaees as
an integral part of the currency and
using them as extensively as the de-
mands of business would justify, in
diminishing the burdens CT national
Indebtedness, u views have been
and still are similar to those expressed
by conservative Nationals. There
are some other points of policy in
which we could act in unity with
that section of the party. 1t gives us
pleasure therefore to notice the noble
words spoken by Mr.. De La Matyr in
the debate in the House on the army
appropriation bill, when he is reported
to have said, s'that it was his inten-
ton to vote for the bill as it stood,
thinking that the House had better
manifest some desire to relieve the
people instead Of giving themselves
up wholly to ~wrangling on the firing
upon Sumpter, the returning TO sla-
very Of Burns, the fiasco of John
Brown, or general elimination or re-
elimination"
