for the purpose Of hayinga certain, wished
for efectP It can be designed for no other
purpose than that Of reviving the Grant
boom, and to accomplish this end the dis
patches prove that a very considerable section
of Republican politicians are willing to resort
to a degree of toadyism from which the
American citizen in the earlier and purer
times would have turned with loathing.
They prove that we have our American court
circle, our court toadies in a large section of
the Republican party and that if Grant
should be fool enough to try the role of a
Cesar he will find thousands of others who
will be fools enough to trade their birthright
of free citizenship for a mess Of hero-worship
pottage. Press dispatches on political sub
jects amount to nothing more or less nova
days than party ~utterances, and some may
suppose that the attention bestowed upon
Grant by the party engineers is for the sake
of the good effect it will indirectly have upon
his party and not simply for the advancement
of his personal, political fortunes, but there
could be no greater mistake. If any one

the impression made by President Hayes in
delivering his good-goody little speeches to
the Illinois farmers with that left on the
mind by reading an account of the Gran
ovation. How decidedly is the former Of
those two personages thrown into the back
ground? How clearly is he relegated to sec
ond fiddle in the Republican orchestra? And
SO with Blaine, and Conklipg, and Sherman,
and the other would-be Presidential candi-
dates. The star of each pales before the
Grant meteor, blazing in the west. Now, If
one of those individuals was to be the Repub-
lican standard-bearer in the next campaign,
we may rest assured the party chiefs would
not deliberately throw him in the shade at a
time so critical as the present. No, Grant is
to be thrust forward again as a candidate for
the Presidency. Sooner or later all will
become convinced of that fact.

Riches take to themselves wings and fly
away, as the old proverb has it, but now-a-
days wealth is less ambitious, and instead of
asking for wings is sometimes satisfied to
leave on a horse. This was the case with the
mineral wealth of one of the great claims of
the Comstock--the Savage-which levied an
assessment the other day of a dollar a share.
The riches Of the Savage left on a horse,
though the cayuse still remains.

THE AMERICAN COURT CIRCLE.

In England a certain column of an influ-
pose of %chronicling the movepents of those
human drones, the members of the British
aristocracy. This record takes the name of
the Court Journal, a publication which has
ever been an object of ridicule to the genuine
American. And not only of ridicule. On
perusing those weighty notices in which he
finds grayely announced the astounding fact
that Lady This took tea with Her Grace the
Duchess That at such an hour, or that Her
Royal Highness the Princess So-and-So hon
ored the park turf with the pressure of her
royal slippers for the period of half all hour
after sunset; after the sun, abashed by the
royal presence, had modestly bowed himself
behind the curtain of the western mission
readil G such notices as the above the true
blue Republican scarce could tell which was
most strongly appealed to, his contempt or his
sense of the ridiculous. In years gone by
these sensations were very commonly expert
enced by almost every American citizen IN
perasing the Court Journal, but hereafter
they will be felt only in a moderate degree.
We cannot very we'll laugh at the toadyism
displayed by our British cousins towards an
aristocracy established a thousand years when
we are making still more abject toadies of
of chance, a soldier of fortune, whose sue
cess was was the success of a position which
scores and hundreds of our fellow country
men could have filed as we'll as he. We can
not afford to point the finger of ridicule at
the Englishman's Court Journal, consisting,
as it does, of An unobtrusive column in a
newspaper, if the Americans boosted institu-
ton, his Associated Press, degrades itself to
be the instrument of still more fulsome toad
yism, still more sickening sycophancy in
beralding abroad over the land information
Of a purely personal natures respecting
latest made-to-order aristocracy.
When Grant arrived at San Francisco d
cordial greeting and heartfelt welcome was
extended him, and it was only to be expected
that a full description of the event should be
sent over the wires. But there is a limit serv-
ing as the line of demarkation between well
done and over done, and it is for the intelli-
gent, impartial public to decide whether or
not the line has been c, tossed. But Grant has
now been some days at San Francisco, the
official reception is over, and one might sup.
pose that the press dispatches would again be
devoted to the transmission OF important, in
teresting news. Mistaken idea. Page after
page come the press reports, the burden Of
their song being what Grant did, where he
went, what he said, and so on nd nduse tBn.

Grant will drive to the Cliff House," OF

employment were not instantly changed, and
consequently that the fowery, grandiloquent
dispatches of yesterday were designed for
political effect. But 1t was not party politics.
Union and Confederate veterans were des-
llcribed as taking part in the ceremonies, Re
publican and Democratic organizations
marched in the PROFESSIONS, and not the
slightest pretention towards making the re-
ception a Republican demonstration was even
limited at. No, is was what might be called
personal politics. It is the beginning IF a
skillfully planned move made by the Machine
for the purpose of commencing Grant with a
hip, hip, hurrah! to the conservative respect
able members of their own party, and getting
him so far accepted that a subsequent rejec-
ton will be impossible.
Whoever believes that Grant is not desirous
of securing a third term of the Presidency,
either did not watch his course during his
second term when The third term project was
on foot, or else he thinks that travel has
changed Grants entire nature and ambition.
But this latter supposition is contradicted by
the cours the General has lately announced
for himself. eHe has nc plans for the fu-
ture," is sin the hands of his friends" and at
their direction quietly as his pro-
gramme for the immediate future the one
above all others calculated to send him before
mex, years nominating convention with the
largest possible capital of personal popularity.
Besides, his whole foreign trip has been a
scheme for the Presidency. Had he remained
at home his commonplace attainments would
by this time have won him a fair share of
obscurity, and it was to avoid this fate that he
sought foreign shores. Coming back with
the eclat communicated by his reception in
foreign courts, and aided by the poetic fancies
always connected with the home return of
the wanderer in foreign lands, Grant is well
coined with a degree Of enthusiasm which
could not by any possibility have been excited
had he remained quietly at home during the
past three years. Then his letter on the sub
ject Of a third term, published only a few
weeks ago, the letter in which he declared he
would not under any circumstances be a can
didate for renominatien, nov familiar was
the sound when he hastened to say that eff
the welfare of the Republican party required
bis services in any capacity" etc. How like
the days of rs, when by speech he deprecated
the third term movement, but by action
sehemed and planned for a third nomination
so plainly that he who ran might read.

the Machine politicians, the d%isreputable wing
