The citizens OF Washington have displayed a
spirit Of enterprtsing hospitality in making pre-
parations for the reunion of the Army of the

Those appointed to serve on committees have
taken hold Of the work assigned them with alac-

to Washington a large number of visitors,

The rumor that Senator Bayard was handi-
capped in the race for the presidential nominal
ton by John Kellys opposition turns out to be
untrue. Mr.. Kelly has proclaimed himself in
favor OF Bayard first and Hancock as second
choice, and as the anti-Tammany democrats OF
New York have expressed themselves as partial to
the Senator from Delaware it looks as If both
factions might unite in support Of the Bayard

The democrats who have turned to Horatio
Seymour as the only man who can lead them
out of the political wilderness In 1880 are court
ing disappointment. The Rochester Union says
1t had hoped that Mr.. Seymour might be induced
to again lead the party, ''but," it adds 1--WE now
know, beyond the possibility of question or
doubt, that, for reasons conclusive to him self,
Governor Seymour will never again appear in
public official life. And we know, Furthermore,
that nothing is more dlstasteful to him than the
doubt thrown upon his repeated declarations to
this effect by the mention of his name for Office
and the assumption that he may be persuaded
to reconsider his determination and accept nomt-
nation. These facts are so well understood in
this state that no one here and least of all Gov
ernor Seymour's warmest friends and admirers,
thinks OF his name in connection with the presi-
dency save to deplore the impossibllty of his &C
ceptance OF it. Democrats and democratic jour-
nails in other states do both him and the demo-
cratic party injustice by proposing and insisting
upon the impossible by the use of his name.'

The Crant Boom in the south,

The Augusta GAY Chronicle ana Constitn
tionaust, which is regarded as the organ of Mr.
Alex. II. Stephens says, editortally, " that Mr..
Stephens prefers Grant to Tiden, as possible
choice of evils beyond his remedy, we are firmly
convinced, and indeed he makes no secret of it,
His preference is Hancock, but he admits that
that General would stand no chance against
Grant on the other side. In a word, he con-
Siders Grant ten per cent. stronger than any
other man in the country, republican or demo-
cratic, and is at loss to see how his record can
besuccessfully assailed in or out of public office.
Col r. A. Crawford, of Atlanta, who was con-
fcderate officer, was twice wounded in battle
and says he has "done as much for the demo-
cratic party as any man of his ability, an
nounces that he is In favor of Gen. Grant for
President. The news also comes from Georgia
that Congressman FELTON, has ''cut loose" from
the democratic party, and all this looks as If the
Atlanta Constitution spoke the truth when it
said there was Grant boom in that state.

q Gen. Woodford was the only northern repub-
hcan who availed himself of the invitation to
make speeches in Louisiana during the recent
political campaign, and he seems to be very
well satisfied with the result of his trip. He
was listened to With respectful attention, and
1t was estimated that one of his audiences in
New Orleans comprised 5000 men, nearly all
white democrats. Whether Gen. Woodford con-
verted any OF these democrats to his way of
thinking or not, he has set an example that
will, no doubt, be followed next year by very
many prominent northern republicans and
this will be productive of good. 1t will put both
parties upon a level in the south, and a full and
free discussion OF political questions by men of
ability and national reputation will put an
end to the cry that everything In politics is one
sided down there.

bill slightly reducing the tax ON national banks
and repeating altogether that on state banks.
This ten per cent. tax on state banks is In
effect, prohibitory. This repeal Is desired
chiefly by the south, and the proposition to
lessen the tax on national banks may win the
support OF friends OF those institutions, and
enable Mr.. Buckner to get his bill through

The Mobile Register probably expresses accu-
rately the southern feeling with regard to sup
porting General Grant for the presidency when
1t says:
g He would be accepted by southern demo-
Gratis only In certain state OF affairs. II the
north Is determined TO take away the liberties of
the southern states and destroy their equality
In the Union, these states Will protect them
selves by thrusting the poison down the threats
OF their prosecutors. II the south is TO be ruled
by the bayonet, we will see to 1t that all the
country Is ruled by the bayOnet Ii the southern
states are once more to be converted into pro-
y1nces, we VIII endeayor to extend imperial gov
eminent over all the states alike"
1t was In sheer desperation, born of the over
whelming democratic reverses last fall that the
Idea OF supporting General Grant for President
originated among southern democrats. The
national democratic party has had time, since
the fall defeats, to recover its breath and some
what revive It's courage, and as It's hopes OF sue
cess next year Increase. the talk IN the south OF
supporting Grant decreases; or when the subject
Is spoken OF 1t is dealt with frankly and the

nation.

The perSistency with which some OF the dem
ocratic journals urge the nomination of Mr..
Horatio Seymour for the presidency, renders
the question OF his acceptance or refusal OF the
nomination an important one. AS throwing a
little light upon Mr., Seymours probable course,
THE STARS Interview with Senator Herman has
been quite extensively copied and commented
upon. The general impression conveyed by the
interview is that Mr.. Seymour will not consent
to be his partyS candidate and 1t was no doubt
the intention Of Mr. Herman to create this i'm
preston. He spoke as positively as he could
when talking Of what another man might do.
Within the past few days Mr.. Seymour is re-
ported to have repeated his assertion that under
no circumstances will he ever again be a candi-
date for office. He thinks 1t unseemly for old
men, trembling upon the verge OF the
grave, as it were, to engage in a con-
test for the honors of this world. Mr..
Seymour has said that. after his interview
with Hon. w. L. Marcy upon the latter's DEATH
bed, Il then made up my mind that no man
should cheat himself out of the repose of his
old age. In his last days. If his life has not been
barren one, 1t seems to me that every man
should have much to think of; that he should
devote himself to such thought and such useful
ness In his private circle as he might be fitted
for. 1t Is for these reasons that l have deter
mined not to accept public station" This Ger
tainly appears to be emphatic enough to sat-
1sfy the most ardent Seymour man. The indi-
cations now are that in forming their presiden-
tial ticket, the democrats intend to consult
New York first, and at the same time look to
the chance of carrying New Jersey and Con-
.lecticut in the event that Indiana might fail
5hen. New York will have none but hard
aaoDey man, and next to Mr.. Seymour, Senator
ssayard seems to be the choice of his party
MS resolution tn rpDpal the 1pva1-tnn6pr
erty of the greenbacks will strengthen him in
New York, but 1t will make him more unpop-
ular than ever with the soft-money democrats
of Indiana. Senator Randolph is also spoken of
as candidate who would command his entise
party vote in New York and make New Jer-
sey reasonably safe for the democracy. The
movement I'm his favor can hardly be said, yet,
to amount to boom, but some very iu1uen-
ual democrats believe In it, and it NAV grow.
