understand that the managers Of
Grant. who have thus far shown so
much skill in coaching him for the
Presidential race year hence, have
found that they have made one great
mistake, and now they are setting
about 10 correct IL. They have for
some time been satisfied that Grant was
coming home 10 soon for the good Of
his canvass. Now another change must

in August or September, as now ex.
pected, the enthusiasm with which il il
proposed to receive him will die out be.
fore the nominating convention can be
held, and that Grants popularity will
begin TO wane. They might be able to
keep up the burrah for three or four
months, but they could hardly do il for
ten. So it is proposed by some of his
friends TO try and keep him away for
four or FIVE months longer. Whether
they will succeed or not is another
thing. II il doubtful. But the plan is
TO send him from Yokohoma, when his
visit IL over in China and Japan, to
the Sandwich Islands, for as long time
as possible. and then 10 Australia. Two
or three months could very easily be
taken up in such trip, and by staying
in the Bast little longer than provided
for now the necessary time could be
consumed. Then the general could
land in San Francisco and his trium.
phal march be begun. There is no
question that the managers of Grant
will zee that he has in every city he
go to--San Francisco. Denver, st. Louis,
Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Philadel.

given TO any American. Then some
body will write him letter regarding
his candidacy, and he will write, or
have written for him, a ringing answer
declining to be a candidate, the con.
vention will be held and he will be
nominated by acclamation. This Il the
programme; but there's many slip,

the result is reached some unexpected
man, such as Lincoln and Hayes were,

TuE most idiotic Of all the inanities
with which the leaders and organs OF
the Radical party are now engaged in
attempting to FIRE the Northern heart,
ia that the secession feeling Of 1861 Is
still alive in the South and is daily
growing in strength. We know that
the gullibility Of the Republican masses
is inordinate, but IL Is not equal to this
demand. There Is not n school boy
who does not know that the secession
movement had its root, its very life and
soul in slavery, and that when slavery
ceased to exist, the secession sentiment
died a. efiectually a. tree would die
IL pulled out Of the earth and suspend.
cd permanently in mid air. The South
not only does not desire to leave the
Union, but Is determined to stay in the
Union and 10 share in It's benefits as
well as its burdens, all the efforts of the
Radical party TO the contrary notwith
standing. She knows that all her in
terests will be best promoted by the
perpetuity Of the Union. Having no
longer any peculiar institution TO be
menaced, she has parted with the only
cause of permanent disagreement, and
has come back, not merely TO stay, but
TO stay on equal terms with the other
States. Radical fanatics may howl at
her presumption, but their wrath will
be unavailing. Each of the states Of
the defunct Southern confederacy is In
the Union. not as q supplicant, or
guest. but as one of the family. The
voting masses have sense enough 10
know this and the cry Of secession will
not scare them. The North fought TO
restore the Union. The people under.
stand that the purpose of their struggle
is accomplished, thai the Union is re.
stored and that The only cause Of the
attempted separation Is - dead as Abel.

WHILE Congress is endeavoring to
protect the rights of the people, and
the purity of the ballot from the Ell.
croachments of the army, it would not
be much out of place to give some at.
tention to the uses to which the army
has already been put. 1t should not
be forgotten that Lieut.. General Sher.
idan, only n few years ago, invaded
the Legislature of Louisiana and in
troduced the bayonet in the little
matter of overturning Democratic
majority. 1t was lawless act, which
should have been punished, but il
was not practicable under n lawless
administration, the head of which
could say unblushingly that he chad
no respect for the Constitution he
was sworn to protect and defend. Nor
does any one forget how the State
House at Columbia, S. c., was seized
by the army, after the election of 1876,
and members of the legislature were
compelled to pass through line OF
soldiers to the legislative hall, where a
corporal of the guard presumed to
pass upon the rights of persons to seats
in the body. This was also Il lawless
outrage, but under the Grant admins
tration it met with no rebuke what
ever; in fact, it was committed with
the appreciation of Grant and his
cabinet.

have made an appointment of time and

movement to start me as a candidate for

and while it would have been very
heartily responded to in Ohio, and no
doubt would be successful in the sense
that | could he elected Governor, it
would clearly be wrong for me 10 en-.
tertain it. So many persons are inter
ested in the continued success of re-
funding and resumption that it would
seem like deser,ion of public duty,
and | would never be forgiven if any
hindrauce should occur in the way OF
either. What ! would aspire to in case
public opinion should decide TO make
me a candidate for President would be
to unite in cooperation with the Re.
publican party all the national elements
aided in any way in the successful vim.
dication of national authority during
the war would do this not for the
purpose of irritating the South or op.
pressing them in any AWAY, but TO n.
sert and maintain the supremacy Of
national authority to the full extent Of
all tho powers conferred by the Con-
stitution. This, AS understand it, is
the Jacksonian as well as the Republi.
can view of national powers. E.
You see, my general ideas would lead
me To lean greatly upon the war Demo.
Gratis and soldiers in the service who
have been influenced by political events
since the war 10 withhold support from

premacy in national matters, honest
money and an honest dollar.

The House and the Investigation

A strange phase of the inyestiga-
ton into the charges of corruption in
connection with the defeated bill for
the payment of the riot damages was
the somewhat exciting struggle in the
House, last Friday, over n resolution
to publish in the Legislative Record
the evidence taken by the committee.
1t is strange that there should have
been opposition to a resolution of that
kind. This opposition, though it
dwi ndled to exceedingly small num-
bers when the vote was taken, was vet
extre mely active and persistent in the
use of parliamentary dodgcs to battle
and defeat the purpose of the majority
to pass the resolution. Under the
leadership of Speaker Long, the fill
clustering of the minority was encour-
aged with the hope that n vote could
be prevented until the hour of adj
journment arrived, thus forcing tie res
olution over to this week, when the ses-
sion would be too near its close for any
practical use to come of it. At last,
however, the power of the obstruction
ists was exhausted, and with barely
two minutes to spare the vote was call
ed, resulting in yeas 1876, and nays u.
This investigation has let in the
light upon number of dark places.
The evidence thus far taken duplicates
no less than twenty-five persons, mem
bers and lobbyists, in the attempt to
secure the passage of the bill in
corrupt and unlawful manner-in
other words by bribery. Of course
these persons would greatly prefer to
have no record made against them to
be handed down to the future, even
should they manage to escape punish
ment in this instance for the crime oi
which they are no doubt guilty. 1t i.
no credit to the Speaker of the House
that he should have made himself q
party to this unsavory business. a
pure man in the same place would show
higher regard for the good name o
the body over which he presides. Bu
in addition to the Speaker, why should
any members, uncontaminated by
these abominable disclosures, have
placed themselves in line with him tC
accomplish so questionable design
One can hardly conceive their motives
To the credit of the House it may, in
deed, be said, they were few in mum
bers who did so. But all of them
should be made to answer to their con
stituents and unless some measure oi
condemnation is meted to them, they
will not receive.what they have earned
With this, however, the work oi
punishment should not stop. There
will still be something due to the peo.
pie and to violated law. The un.
scrupuleze agents, whoever they may
be, in this now openly exposed effort
TO pollute members of the Legislature
should not be permitted to escape the
penalty affixed by law to the crime Of
bribery. To our shame ii is often said
that legislative corruption is an old and
hateful sore in this State Of ours, and
probably better opportunity to effect

he says so in his veto message. This
