lDgton believe; he gets none here. The
authority of the President and the Attor-
ney General is practically defed, and the
ends of justice are liable to be defeated, by
those high in place, though under suspi-
cion.-In taking the census next year the
country will be divided into one hundred
and fifty districts, and these districts will
be subdivided so that the whole work may
be completed in the month of June. The
labor of twenty thousand persons will be
required.
| The Gazette says: Chicago gathered one
hundred thousand strangers within her
| borders to witness the Grant reception and
then put up the price of beer to 10 cents.
That settles the question of the National
Nominating Conventions. A city that is
mean enough to take advantage of an army
of wounded and thirsty veterans in that
way is not safe to hold Conventions in.-
The Gazette has indicated no opposition or
unfriendliness to Grant, Nor do we think
the Commercials would amount to
anything or would be outspoken in
case the Convention had Grant boom.
We may remark for ourselves that
while We may settle into positive views as
to the person before the convention meets,
vet we understand that this is to be rep
resentative and deliberate convention of
the National Republican party, before
which will come the merits of several dis
tinguished Republicans for denomination.
| These are now plainly distinguished by
public opinion, and will be recognized by
us as having an equal right to the sufIrages
of the convention. But at any rate, we
think the several distinguished aspirants
will receive proper treatment from the
press of Cincinnati. The Gazette expects
to support the candidate chosen by the con-
vention.-If the Republican National Con-
vention shall be held at Cincinnati. the
whole country will recognize its
fitness for National party. This
is called the North and what is called the
1t is also the center OF that part which is
called the East and that which is called the
West. The South will recognize this as a
place where it can meet the North on equal
terms; the West as meeting tine East hall
way, securing the equal convenience of each
part, and receiving no indignity on either
part.-When the plot was revealed to get
the ring control of the Board by false
charges against Weber, and by the farce of
such trial as Bis op played on Hogan,
there was an excellent reason for the con-
clusion that this meant to convert the po-
lice force'into party machine for defeat
ing the popular will at the election. The
situation before the election was very
different from what it became by the cleo
ton. The election was in danger. There
was no way to defeat this plot save by
arousing public opinion and bringing it to
bear to intilnidate the cOnspirators, and to
brace up the integrity of the police force
The versatile VOORHEES,, so writes our IN
diana correspondent, "Rover," is preparing
to abandon the soft money foolishness,
with which his name is so | sely identified
and fall into line with Bayard. Mcdonald
and the few Democratic leaders who kept
their heads during the agitation for cheap
money. The Tall Sycamore, roaring for
haru money on the floor OF the Senate, will
be an inspiring sight.
The Commercial says that the Dayton
Journal is carrying on an aggressive war
fare against General Grant. What could
be more aggressive than to say that the nom
ination of General Grant would excite in
the bosom of the editor of the Dayton Jour-
nal grave apprehensions? Then it is
great mistake in the Journal to say that
the great mass of Republicans are enthusi-
asts about a third term. That notion has
been cultivated with assduity, and there
are intelligent persons who believe it, but
il is not So Alter all, there are several
strong men.-There is already much COM
plant of the poor quality OF
gas now furnished to private consum-
ers at So 25 per Thousand cubic feet. What
would it be at 81 Is or 81 so unless the H.
Illuminating power form a part of the con-
| tract?-The territory of Zululand is divided
between thirteen Chiefs the most consider
alb of whom is John Dunn, the famous
trader and favorite of Cetewavo. The only
restraint upon these chiefs will be that of a
single British resident. Trade between
whites and Zulus is prohibited and mis-
sionaries denied admittance except at a
| few points where permission will be given
them to occupy enough ground to build a
church and a house, and no more. John
Dunn will not grant even that privilege,
| but bangs the door in their faces-Dean
Stanley has been at much pains to keep
the monuments in Westminster in order.
In the case Of the Andre monument it is
said the nose of George Washington, whose
figure appears in a group, has been three
times restored. That is doing something
for peace and good will, is it not? The
stone which Mr. Cyrus Field has placed at
the spot where Andre was executed,
weighs nine tons. The patriot who pro-
| poses to remove it must therefore be a
strong man-Garfield's friends are claim
ing that they have all the votes needed to
nominate him but seven.

Presidential candidate, it is already said
What good can come out of Nazareth? ?
Delaware, as is known. is one of the small
est States in the Union.-"The army we
have always with u.s." and also Grant The
man actually believes that the American
people must support him. General Sher-
man ought to accommodate him either by
resigning or by dying. for then Grant could
again become General Lieutenant, and for
all that we care, for life. .}
The Volksblatt SAYS: The Gas Company
paws immense attorneys fees without
having a suit on hand. 1t is now plain
that the Gas Company has refused to fur
nish any true information to Council and
the public as to its profits and the cost Of
manufacturing gas
The Freie Press says: 1t would be
twigging the nose of Justice il the United
States officials would allow the crooked
Clerk Ambrose to resign his position with
