GRANT AND HIS RIVALS.

A REVIEW OF REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL AsPIRANTS
BY EX-SENATOR HITCHCOCK, OF NEBRASKA.
Ex-senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, who, though
two years out of public position Is still in active
politics. and is regarded the best political man
ager in his State, said, in the course OF familiar
chat with a TRIBUNE reporter yesterday, that he
regarded Grants nomination in 1850 as almost IA
certainty. eve must nominate Grant to get even
with the patent reformers and put the party back
where 1t was before they began their mischief he
declared The ex-senator is of the most stawart
of the stalwarts and is earnest believer IN the
merit and expedIency of od-fashiOned machine
p0litics.) The general movement" he continued,
"is reaction against namby-pamby notions, bo-
gus reform and Civil Service humbug, as well as
protest against the attitude of the Solid South"
Do you think it will last year. or Is 1T likely to
run itself out. like many popular excitements. be-
fore the time comes for it to be effective P'-
'I look on the Grant feeling as a genuine move
ment and one far too strong to evapOrate IN year.

VIEWS OF SOUTHERN LEADERS.

WHAT GENERAL FLOYD KING THINKS OF THE OUT
LOOK IN LoUIsIANA-GENERAL CLINGMAN ON
NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS
The New-York Hotel Is the principal resort of
Southern politicians when they visit the metropO-
lis, and there is scarcely day that number of
prominent gentlemen from the old Slave States do
not greet each other in the cOsey Broadway parlor
of that hostelry. Recently representative Of
THE TRIBUNE met there the Hon. }. Floyd
King, Adjutant-General Of Louisiana, and
member of Congress from the District ly
ing along the Mississippi and Red Rivers
General King was actually concerned in the lensas
affair and at the head of his State Militia rode
through that parish last October for the purpose of
suppressing a negro rising, according to the
Democratic version, and according to the Republic
can vIew TO stamp out the Republican party and
prevent It's organizing for the campaign. The IT.
suit of the disturbance. it will be remembered, was
that about a dozen negroes were shot or hanged and
no white man was hurt save one, who was killed III
night assault on the house of a cOlored preacher
who was the Republican candidate for Congress.
Whatever may have been his snare III the busl-
ness General King does not look like blOOdthTsty
man. lie is. on the contrary, an excellent specimen
of q Louisiana gentemen-well educated. with
graceful manners and fine social qualities. AL
though under Indictment III the Federal Court. he
has not been arrested. He says he staid in NewOr-
leans while the deputy ty-maIshals were running over
the State looking for him and making heavy mileage
bills for the Government to pay and that he made
no attempt to conceal himself. but went about the
streets and hotels every day. Now that the Natchl-
toches prosecutions have failed, be thinks the Iensas
cases will be dropped. He insists that the Tensas
troubles grow out of race feeling and not out OF
politics. and says that whether the negroes contem-
plated violence or not after the assault on the
house Of their leader, Fairfax, the whites believed
they did and were greatly alarmed.
Speaking Of the Constitutional Convention III
Louisiana General King says the elections for dele
