The English PAPERS of This Mdrnins

The EnQuirer's leader this morning is
welcome to General Grant. After referring
to this being the State of General Grants
nativity and the hospitality that Gncin-
natl has extended to other distinguished
persons it says: The city has been hospit-
able to President Hayes, in which hos
pitality We have cordially joined. We
have theory so fixed that it can not be
overcome that the lovely things of hospi-
tality are too sacred and beautiful to be
invaded by church or politics. We are
glad to know that this city, which has not
known narrowness in the past in extend
ing its courtesies, knows no partisanship
in the present in extending its welcome to
the most widely honored guest that has
visited this city in many years. More
! than any other man alive, probably, he
represents the idea of the Union of the
territory of the United States I.
The Gazette says the gamblers had better
hold on to their blood money. The days
for that sort of thing are almost n8mber-
ed.-About this time of the year look out
for Senator Davis, of West Virginia, and
his hobby. This hobby. as everybody
knows, is a belief that untold
millions have been stolen in the
Treasury Department during and since
| the war; and the crime covered up by a
false system of bookkeeping The Senate
| Democratic caucus after three or four sol.
emn slttings, has adjusted the quarrel over
the few Jumps of patronage that pertain to
the Senate wing of the Capitol. Senator
Thurman presided yesterday, and there
was, we are told, an exhaustive discus
sion" ."-Cincnnati welcomes Grant to-day.
This is not, as we all understand, political
reception, for it is participated in by the
people, irrespective of politics. Nor is it
because of Gen. Grants party relations past,
present or prospective for there are those
who join heal tily in doing him honor who
voted against him when he was a candidate
for President and would vnte against him
if he should again become candidate.
But he was successful General, and he
was also successful President of this great
republic, and having passed the most severe
ordeals to which men can be subjected, he
stands to-day in the front rank Of foremost
men.
The Commercial says: That part of the
report OF the Secretary of the interior
which relates to Indian affairs is of thu
greatest interest. 1t goes on to say that, ir
the face of great opposition from hummer
anu tTducTs, CcCictdIy OClutZ udS uouc dlS
is doing great work among thu
Indians 1t then reviews the repor
of the Secretary at length and con
cludes by saying son the whole the sue
cess of the experiment. as far as it ha
gone, of civlizing the Indian, is scarcel,
less surprising than gratifying."-It j
shown that Gen. NJ f. Force was amonl
the first to recognize the great ability 0
General Grant and to affirm that he woult
become a conspicuous figure in the grea
hereafter.
The German Papers.
The Volksfreund says: The Enquirer
Emperor comes to Cincinnati to-day
The Cincinnati Southern Railroad is a
good as completed. Now it only remains t
be seen of what benefit it will be to us.
The Volksblatt saws: What shall be don
with the, Southern Road since it is finished
How ana by whom shall it be managed?
The Freie Presse says: To-day Cincinnati
has its Gran boom.-If the Enquirer up :
tits did not know what it was, it coul
have ascertained it yesterday from tn
Volksfreund. This paper styles 1t slave c
the arstocracy, monopoly and Gespotisn
As both papers are good Democrats ant
therefore, know each other thoroughly, th
J decision must be correct. y@ Il
