Remembering the absolute personal fealty
which he exacted of all Republican politicians
during his terms IN the Presidency, and the
severity with which he treated the slightest oppo-
sition to his wishes as an actOf treason, we can
we'll believe that the process Of "r0oting-out"
q exposing," forcing" and bringing up to the
scratch" which General Logan announces in
Illinois, is quito to his liking. The authoritative
announcement made in Mr.. Washburne's name
the other day is said to be the first result Of the
dragon policy; and we now await the promised
spectacle of the ex-Minister to France march
ing to Springfield at the head of Grant dele
CATION from his ward, and Logan in the rear
prodding him with the point of a sword.
The work of stamping out treason is TO be
continued, it appears in the Chicago COnven-
ton. The arrival of General Logan in Illinois
is followed by an article in The Inter- Ocean
addressed to delegates who decline to be bound
by the unit rule to the support Of candidate
who is not the choice of their constituents
"The friends of General Grant," says this
organ of the third term, care Republicans first
q of all, having at heart the welfare of the
country and the party; they will bear good
"dea but they will not bear everything.
"There is such q thing as trying even the
"paticnce of d Grant Republican too far" To
make this mOmentous threat more definite, it
is announced that the Grant men will insist
upon the observance of the unit rule, and if
any delegates attempt to disregard it their
" votes and their voices will be ignored by the
"men they attempt to betray." The anh-Grant
men, " if they value harmony, or look for sue
"ccss in the coming campaign" must surren-
der to the majority in their respective States,
or they will meet distractions which they
"have not counted on" These menaCes are
directed especially at the New-YOrk and Penn
sylvania delegations; and considering that
New-York neither instructed its district del
egates nor adopted the unit rule, and that
the unit rule hasneyeT been enforced by any Ma
tional Convention of the Republican party, the
tone of the third termers is rather lofty, to say
the least Of it. Is not General Logan attempt
ing to exercise command outside the limits
of his department
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-05-08

Friends and foes have advised him to with
draw. because the very States in which he was
expected to secure the hearty and united sup.
port of delegations have disappointed him. IL
he sticks much longer, the result Will be any
thing but hattering to MIN.
The general concurrence of Republican
opinion points to the Senator from Maine as
the strongest candidate at this time in the ke-
publican States. But it is not the desire OF
his friends to secure his nomination by any
snap Judgment, such as has been attempted
in New-York and Pennsylvania against him.
On the contrary, his friends appear to be un-
willing to place him in the forefront OF battle
unless there is an almost unanimous decision
in his favor in the Republican States They
saw, these friends, ~ We admire Senator Elaine,
abut we care infinitely more for the success OF
the Republican party" If their spirit IS met
in good faith by men who prefer other can
didates we may be sure that the nomination
at Chicago will not result in defeat.

THE dENDELssoHN CLUB.

A body of Philadelphia singers, calling themselves
the " Mendelssohn Club" gave concert Thursday,
evening at Chickering Hall. There was amixed chorus
of about thirty-voices, under the direction Of Mr..
W. w. Gilchrist and Mrs. A. ii. Darling sang several
solos, The concert derived interest partly % show
ing the degree of perfection that had been attained
in the neighboring city in part-singing and partly
because the programme contained some numbers Of
unusual Importance. The chief Of these was part
of Gades "The Crusaders" and the finale to the
first act Of Mendelssohn's 4" Loreley" The chorus,
which consisted Thursday night Of eight sopranos.
seven altos tenors and eight basses is made up
in the main of young, fresh and strong voices OF no
great individual pow but Of good quality, aud,
as to the parts, well enough balanced. That
it has been thoroughly drilled is evident, and In the
matter of delicacy Of shading, frmness, decision
and promptness of attack, it might well serve az
model to some of local clubs. Most OF the solos
were sung, and we'll sung, by members OF the CLUB,
and Mrs. Darling who furnished two or three songs
has q good voice. and q simple. straightforward
STYLE which is altogether praiseworty: Among
The selections were Goanods Good Friday

PUTTING DOWN RERELLLON.


Considering that General Grant would not
consent to reelection unless an irresistible
popular demand or the evident necessities OF
the country should require Of him such an act of
self-sacrifce, his friends in The West seem to
be carrying matters with rather high hand.
The Washburne movement has caused them
considerable uncasiness; for although Mr..
Washburnc has repeatedly declared that he is
not candidate against Grant there is a dispO-
sition in Illinois to make him a candidate IN
spite of himself, and this project cannot but
have the effect Of encouraging and conccn-
tratrg the opposition to a third term. General
Logan has therefore been sent to Illinois to
bring every one Of the milk -and-Watcr brig
"ade to the scratch" Hell to have "absoute
@command" of the Grant forces. 10 Is TO
conduct enthusiastically vigorous and
aggressive campaign. lie is to "root out
treason" IIo is to "exDose" every Rcpub-
lican who is disloyal to Grant Gle is deter
"mined, and the Grant men III Chicago are de-
@tcrminpd, to have no ifs and lands about
I" this thing any longer" Washbmnc himself
is to be pulled up with Il sharp turn He must
prove his words. Before many days glide by
"hc will be compelled to head a Grant dclcga-
/" ton from his own ward to tho Springfield
"ConyCntOn. lie managed to wrgglc out of
Gan invitation TO be present at the big Grant
"meeting by stating that he had lecture to
"deliYcr somewhere in the State Of Indiana.
"Tho lecture scheme won't work again"
Thus General Logan is about taking vigorous
measures to put down the rebellion Gas they
used to say of the United States Government
in the early days of the war;, and all traitors
and other disaffectcd persons who venture to
have an opinion Of their own about the wisdom
Of nominating cx-Prcsidcnt Grant are doubtless
uuaking in their shoes, with dread of the dis
grace that threatens them.
The article from which we have quoted is a Chi
cago dispatch to Tie 81. Louis Globe Democrat.
1t was shown to General Grant The other day,
and his comments upon it were published in a
recent number Of TIE TRIBUNE. He said
that he was very sorry to see it, becaus6 Wash
burne was his friend. "IIe has always been
81 very warm and sincere friend 30 me- and
"was such at O time when his friendship
i" was so valuable that no matter what hap
"pens, l can never forget it, nor cease to re-
"member it with gratitude" This remark,
more interesting for what 1t implies than for
what it distinctly avOws, leaves the impression
that the ex-Prcsident regards the alleged in
fanny of Washburne's alleged lukewamness
more In sorrow than In anger, and Is ready to
pardon everything on account OF the past.
The dispatch to The Globe Democrat states,
indeed that "the hero of the war is shocked
@and RrieVed" by Mr.. Washburne's conduct.
