PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATEs-The New
York Times has intelligence from every
State in the Union as to the political pref.
erence Of parties for Presidential candidates
1t sums up all by declaring that General
Grant is the first choice of the Republicans
and Ex-Governor Tilden Of the Democrats.
The Times says: " 1t may be stated generally
that, out of l57 points from which advices
have been received. General Grant is the
expressed choice of 1870, Senator Blaine 10,
and that Messrs. Washburne, Garfield,
Sherman, Conkline, Edmunds, and Chand-
Ter follow in the order named The Demo.
Gratis, in 90 of the l57 districts, prefer
Tllden; Thurman comes next with % dis.
tricts, Bayard with II, and Hendricks and
Hancock bring up the rear. Tilden, if the
Democratic Convention were held to.mor-
row, seems sure Of the votes of not less
than 81 Of the 80 States.
There is this difference between the party
enthusiasm for Grant and Tilden. The
Republican party drift to Grant against the
desires ofthe;r moro trusted leaders because
Of blind impulse. They think he is the
only man they can hope to elect. Tilden
is thrust upon his party 10y importantly
There is hardly God-forsakPn party hack
in the country who does not lift his ancient
voice night and day for Tilden. The Re-
publicans will find it much more difficult
to unhorse their rider than the Democrats.
The South, which is the stronghold Of the
Democracy. does not want rilden, while it
is solid for Grant. This is Tilden's weak
spot and Grants strong point, and may
control the result in both party Conven-

TIE ARMY DEBArE.-They are having a

bill, and in speech on Monday. Mr.. Blaine
asserted that it could not he shown that
there was the least danger from the army
in this country, and therefore the pretend.
ed alarm expressed was for ulterior pur
poses. The number o: soldiers in the South
would not furnish one for a county in the
Southern States. There was not a soldier
for every 700 square miles. There were
only seven soldiers to a million Of Southern
people, and l20 soldiers to every million in
New England. The true intent was to get
rid of supervisors of elections at the polls
during congressional elections. Notwith.

Water Power of Appleton, wis.

The great source Of Appletons prosperity
comes from the wonderful water-p0wer which
is unequaled by any in the Northwest, and is
probably superior TO that of any in the whole
country. The supply of water is almost IN
limited The government dams were built at
cost OF 100000. and the canal on the island,
erected through the enterprise Of Edward West
and others owning interests in the water privI-
legcs, at a cost of $4,000, has supplied hun
drcds of property owners with valuable water
power ready for locating and operating facto-
ries and mills as rapidly as they may be re
quired The water at this point in the Lower
Fox river never fails nor overflows. The
greatest difference between highest and low
est water marks was never known to exceed
thirty inches. In explanation of this il is said
that Lake Ninnebago, forty miles in length, a
few miles above and other small lakes on this
river act as reservoirs for the rams and melt
ing SHOWS of the surrounding country, thus
holding back and preventing the sudddn raise
or fall of the water. The power is available
winter and summer alike, and there are iacto.
ries there that never shut down the year round.
Fox river at this point is $50 feet in width,
with fall Of ierty feet to the mile.-ImertodIi
