violent lang 'age and accused him VI having
insulted his wife. The doctor took the mat

said, "You are crazy, sir; go away and let

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Ex- Senator West,

lii the interest of Wells and Anderson, re-

New Orleans. Il Is generally believed thai,
the bargain for the Louisiana electoral vote
was brought about by written Offer on the
part OF the Republican managers TO place the
patronage Of the Custom House during the
these two worthless and that d con
tract based upon that Offer was the
condition of sale. When it was aseertained

THE GRANT BOOM IN THE
SOUTH.

Politics is game, and none the
less SO on account Of the magni-
tude of the interests involved. It
is as full of uncertainties as any
game known. The skill and wisdom
of party leaders is only the science
required to play it successfully, and
in it, as all other games, the chances
for holding trump cards are amen
able to no known laws. It is
game full of great surprises, grand
climaxes, and woodworking rev.
olutions. One of these revolutions
is going on at the present time.
Two years ago, one year ago, six
months ago, nay, three months ago,
any one daring to predict that
time would come when any portion
Of the South would be for Grant
for President, would have been put
down Immediately as fit subject
for some insane asylum, and his
prophecy would have been treated
as were those of the Trojan Cas-
eandra. Nov any one making the
same remark would be considered
by those knowing the drift of South
ern feeling, as utterly only the most
commonplace truism. Not sins
gle day passes but some straw may
be perceived in the political waters
showing Enthusiastically the course
Of the current, sluggish though it
may be just now. This sluggish
ness must not be taken in consider
alton in foretelling the future, how
ever. It is an old proverb and has
stood the test for years, that " still
waters run deep" The waters Of
Niagara above the cataract are
T.. slow, but this does not detract from
the sublimity of its fall. An ava
lanche moves slowly at first, but
this does not prevent the destruc'
ton which it leaves in its path.
AS we have said, there are straws
and these show that there is among
the Southern Conservative ele'
ment large and Influential
class who contemplate, with al
seriousness, the formation of az
independent movement, having fol
its object the nomination of Grant
These men are sick unto death o

of seetionalism, which has been tn,
prime characteristic of the Bourbon
or dominating part of Southern
Democracy. They are unwilling t.
} be; numbered with a party which
considers no means too foul or dis
graceful that will accomplish thu
end desired. They can not be il
accord with the Barksdales of tn,
South. Another thing leading t.
this end is the growing conviction
that their party leaders have throw
to the winds all the chances for
Democratic victory in 1880. Their
