Grant Making Way for BIalne.

In politics the latest sensation now Is
tho story that Gen. Grant VIII, certainly
be cut of tf1I Presidential race within
thirty days. Hhitelaw Reid told friend
Or mine as much within O few days.
The story that Col. Scott will retire from
road and that Grant will take his place
may not have any truth In IL, but there
~ certainly something on foot TO hx
Grants future. Tile report comes that
Senator Blaine, who has been I'm New
York, If he Is not there now, said recent
ly that Gen. Grant would be out of the
way In thirty days, and that his (Grant's)
course would be such that all his person.
al and political friends would be satisfied.
This is news of tho highest importance ff
IL is true. All accounts from Grant agree
that he does not want the Office and will
not seek IT.; also that he would refuse It
In tho event that any contest was had in tile
years Q member of the House and who
was offered by Gen. Grant tho secretary
shin of State before Mr. Fish WAS sppoII,.
tefi, has Kept up Ills intimacy with Grant:
ths had letters frotd him. Bfr. Wilson
Fays that he knows that G en. Grant will
not accept the nomination II it comes to
MIN through contest; that he does not
want the place, but that If he were nomi.
mated with any degree OF unanip1ity he
would feel obliged 10 accept. Mono can
deny that there will be "contesp' In the
next Republican Convention. Blaine's
ana shorman's friends respectively are
not going TO let Gen. Grant or anybody
else walk off with the next Presidential
nomination without Contest" The
friends OF both will go into the conven-
tlon for the purpose of kicking up row
70 drive Grant out. Mr.. Wilson saws
that Grant will have friends In the Con-
vention who Will be severally instructed
to Withdraw his name fu tho ovont - !,
row, .sshd that they will follow tho In
structions. This much must be said Of
Grant, he has not sought the office.
Even his closest friends can get nothing
outOf him with reference t. the subiecL
more than the fact that he is not candi-
Grant out of the fled VIII at is IeftY Why,
Blaine, of course. Blaine is strong, for
he is the first choice of all those who sup-
ported him at Cincinnati, and he is Sec
ond choice of all the Grant mon and all
tho Sherman mei.. or course Grant
would rather have Conkling, but
tnen Conkling Is out OF the quos-
Grant can see that. Grant and Blaine
have never been particularly friendly in
their social Intercourse. Blaine dsliked
Grant, and Grant suspected Blaine. It
may bo different now, for Grant has for
given everybody but 3ristow, and Blaine
is man who cannot treasure animosi-
tics-notwithstanding his attitude toward
Conkling, with whom he has not passed
a word for over thirteen years. 1t would
not surprise mo at all-indeed / rather
look forward to tiff Grant should keep
out OF the Convention and that Blaine
be Blaine or dark horse. It cannot be
sherman. Conkling or Waahhurn; and
nobody else has been suggested Of cOnse-
quences thus far.

Tho Democrats OF South Caroline
should remember that the election Of a.
Republican in New York Is duo to n split
in tho Democratic party. Those who
seek to divide us in this State will just as
surely lead us back into tho Radical
camp, and therefore all good citzens
ought to put their feet squarely upon any
independentism or othor move which
looks TO division in the party. What
ever evils exist either In the State or in
the counties can be corrected as easily in
the Democratic party as in the Republi-
can, and 1t is tho duty of our people %
quit talking about voting against tho
Democratic party because certain things
do net please them. e nc iia;, The Re-
publican party in power thore would be
even moro things that would displeaso
US. Let all Of our fights be strictly with
In our own party, and all of us unite to
crush Republiaanism in every form 1t
may assume, for it Is our enemy and the
enemy Of our country. Remember thnt
we are only paying ono-t third of the taxes
which wo paid In the days of RadicaIism.
This should cause us to hesitate before
we do anything to weaken tho Domoc-
racy, either by word or by deed.

The Now York Herald began the report
some weeks ago that movement was
organizing throughout tho South to nom-
inato Grant for third term as the South
ern candidate for President, and that
prominent Southern politicians are en-
gineeringit. TO this rumor the Southern
press has uniformly expressed decided
opposition, and the only two Southern
men who have in measure endorsed it
arc Messrs. Toombs and Stephens. of
Georgia. Mr.. Toombs 10 represented rs
fhvofing Democrat If he can get his
choice, but as preferring Grant to TIlden.
while Mr.. Stephens has been interviewed
by correspondent Of tho Netus and Cou.
rier, and simply says at present that in
his opinion "the South might 60 greet
deal further and fare worse" We are
surprised to 500 men who have any pre-
tensions TO Democracy or loyalty to tho
National Constitution taking such
equivocal positions on such an important
question. Tho recollection of Grant
means q Capitalization of our govern
ment and an overthrow of the Republic.
and no men know It better than Mr..
Stephens and Mr.. Toolnbs. It is like
them, however, to so off on all OF the
vagarles which arise. If the South had
no such politicians she would be better
