The Republicans in Congress are
making determined and factiuus
fight to7prevent the passage of the
bill to repeal aud amend certain
sections Of the Revised Statutes,
relating TO the removal of causes
from State to United States courts,
Under these statutes, cause where
crime or felony has been committed
against u State law, or where reye
nue. Or election officers are prosecu-
ted. or where an officer of the Fed
eral Government is sued, can be
taken to the Federal courts. There
have been many abuses OF this
privilege on the part of Federal of
ncIale, and the argument against
the law is that it confers superior
privileges upon the civil officers of
the Government. A large NUN Der
OF well sustained charges against
this class have been dismissed
through the transfer priviIege..apd
many guilty men have thus escaped
from justly desel we'd punishment.
Another feature of the bill is tn re.
niand TO the Adjudication Of State
courts controversies between citi-
zens OF the same State, involving
titles to lands based on grants from
two States. The Republicans. in
opposing the repeal bill, are adhrr.
ing to their party policy of depriv-
ing the States Of valuable political
rights and concentrating power i'm
the Federal Government.

The failure of TAFT TO obtain the
nomination for Governor of Ohio,
ia heavy blow ut Grant and the
third term. Ohio is one of the
large doubtful States whose vote
both in the national convention and
at the polls, may be essential to the
success of "A Presidential aspir ant OF
either party, and is absolutely ne>
cessary 70 Republican. A Demo
crat might be nominated and elect
ed without the help of Ohio, but
not SO a Republican.
Judge Taft was, i'm very pecu-
liar sense, the Grant candidate in
the recent convention. Near the
close oil his second term Grant APP
pointed Taft Attorney General, aud
sent General Pierrepont off to
England to make room for him in
the Cabinet. He gave him the Office
to console him for the loss of the
nomination for Governor in 1875,
when he was elbowed out of the
way by Hayes. This favor drew
rait close to Grant, and he has
ever since been working in his mild
st, le for the third term
The decisive overthrow of Taft at
the Cincinnati convention is equiva-
lent 10 the loss of Ohio to Grant,
whichever way the election may
Turn in DC. ober. Ii Foster carries
The State, he does not carry it for
Grant. Indeed, he would throw the
whole weight of his administration
against Grants nomination for the
Presidency. If Foster is defeated,
then the State is lost to the Repnb-
licans. and will thereafter be of no
account to Grant or any other Re-
publican aspirant.
The Grant enthusiasm has been
largely simulated. The defrat in
Ohio sends cold chill all along the
line of the "staIwarts ~. Y Sun

The Silver Bill

The passage by the House of
Representatives Of Mr.. Warmers
silver bill, gives great encourage
ment to the hope that the Demo-
cratic party will take decided
stand upon one financial measure,
which is not only demanded by
the interests of the country, but
will result in strengthening the par
~ in the coming political contests.
The vote on the silver bill was near
~ a parry divisiOn-neariy all the
Democrats and Greenbackers, ivin-
ed by several Republicans, voting
for il; and only few Democrat
and the great body of the kepubIi-
cans voting against il. There is
reason to believe that the bill will
pass the Senate also by the support
OF nearly every Democrat in that
body, and perhaps with the help of
the Republican Senators from. Ne,
vsda and California-if it has not
already passed. If the President
vetoes it, ~ some Republican Con-
Rressmen assert that he will, this
great question will go before the
people, with the Democratic party
committed to the measure and the
Republican party on record against
1t. We would have nothing to fear
from an issue of this kind. 1t would
be one question which would have
much snfiuencc in constituting CO.
operation between the Democrats
anu Greenbackers. which is Just the
union that We desire to see.
Even Elk Secretary McCuilou Oh
and Secretary Sherman have been
compelled to admit that the partial
Femonitization of siIve: by the last
Congress corrected a great error of
OF Republican lesislari IN, aud has
proved Of great benefit to the coun,
try. With this experience before
them, the Republicans will be reck
kss indeed to oppose fuller meas.
Hre of remonitiz ,tion AMI a much
larger addition TO the vo;u ne of sill.

all the Objections which arise from
~ comparison OF the benefits of a
fuIl with the evils of IA SC ,nty -circu
htion." The evils of scanty cir
culation have been bitterly experi>
enced in this country-notably in
The SOuth-fOT a number of years,
aud the little addition made by the
partial remonitiz ition of silver has
been of advantage which could not
be concealed, which even the oppo>
nents of reconciliation have been
compelled to admit. Those nations
OF Europe, too, which Ii I've demons
Hized silver, appear to be now
to an appreciation of their error,
and are calling for "a LII metallic cur
rrncy. Under these circumstances.
It would be folly for any political
party or administration in this
country to attempt to prevent the
fuller coinage or reconciliation OF
silver. Mr.. Hayes will either be
constrained to sign the bill, or his
party will suffer by his refusal.
