THE reports from Chicago make it evil
dent that one weapon of assault against
General GRANTS candidacy has been de-
prived of its edge We mean the cry against
the machine "-the epithetcal ammuni-
tion contained in the talk about gag law"
"unit rule,"" force game" senatorial die
tatorships," syndicate bulldozings,' etc,
dd iafnitum.
All such talk has been from the begin
ing the coinage of those who themselves
have unscrupulously used the machine in
every state of the union. Nowhere have
General GRANTS friends been in position
to use the machinery of public Office to ad-
vance his interests. This fact has been
patent to the whole country
1t is clear now that the opponents Of Cen
eral GRANT have majority of the national
committee the committee on admission to
the exposition building is in their in
terests, and the audience will surely not be
q" GRANT mob" They have secured the
control of the preliminary organization of
the nominating convention, as q result Of
its selection by states; they will secure q
majority of the committee on rules, and
will thus abrogate the unit rule; they will
obtain in the same manner q majority Of
the committee on credentials, and will in
all probability name the permanent chair
man of the convention.
If there is such thing as party fealty
we may consider that every hole has been
stopped through which bolter or q
scratcher can escape from his obligation tc
support the nomination of the ex-president
when he secures the necessary 80 votes
Certainly, we shall not begrudge the
rivals of General GRANT their short day Of
triumph if their exultation now will belr
them to bear their defeat then with equa
nimity

AN officer who has served with General
HATCH in New Mexico writes to say that
the dispatch published yesterday rejecting
on the conduct of the campaign against
VICTORIA and his savage band does Gen.
eral HATCH gross injustice. Our corre-
spondent truly says that General HATCH
is brave, able and energetic officer, who
has spent his life in Indian warfare, and
one who knows the real value of such vol
unteers as are offered to him. We know
something of. this New Mexican campaign.
VICTORIA has band quite equal in
numbers to General HATCHs command.
The Indian chief has five ponies to every
warrior, while the soldiers are practically
dismounted, the horses having been Worn
out. This fact has been urged for weeks
upon the department commander, but he is
powerless because the appropriation for the
purchase of horses has been exhausted.
Every fort in Texas, Indian territory and
Kansas has been stripped of transportation
to furnish horses to tho Colorado and New
Mexican forces. Meanwhile democratic
congress will continue to cheese-pare the
army bill and cripple its efficiency out o.
pure partisan malignity.
National Republican., 1880-06-02

Mr.. WALLACE proposed in the senate
yesterday the establishment of political
campaign smut machine, in the form of
continuance of the committee on alleged
frauds in the late presidential election
This would enable the democratic majority
to take the erparte testimony of irresponsible
persons at any time during the session that
the party stock of calumnies and ISLANDERS
fell short, without the minority being able
to disproye the falsehoods or show the
character of the witnesses. Such q method
is in keeping with democratic ideas of JUS
tice and fair play in political contest
Should the resolution be adopted jim
ANDERsoNs and WEBERs would command
premium.

EVERY steamer from Europe reports ice
bergs floating in great numbers and of vast
size off the banks Of Newfoundland. This
is a cooling thought. If they could be
utilized what a blessing they could be
made, Why not hitch to one of the small
ones, tow it into the Chesapeake and anchor
it Off Washington; or, better still, cut it up
in sections and send it to Chicago? Ifa
good big slice could be moored alongside
of the exposition building in Lake Michi-
gan maybe there would be no bolt after all.

REPORTS from Chicago are to the effect
that the BLAINE men arc very bitter against
the followers of the ex-president, and that
they will stop at nothing to defeat them.
And at the same time they think that as
soon as the GRANT men are defeated, no
matter by what means that they will fall
into line and vote for BLAINE. If all the
reports are true their trust is beautiful to
see.

DURING the hot days of May the New
Yorl; ice companies took measures to let
their supply run short and then raised the
price exorbitantly whereupon it Is pro-
posed that the city ought to be able to fur
nish frozen water as it furnishes liquid
water at the mere cost Of its delivery. Ice
has grown to be almost as much a necessity
to modern housekeeping as is water itself,
and there is nothing intrinsically prepos-
ferrous in thesuggestion that it DO furnished
in the same manner to citizens nor is there
any impracticablity in it. New York has
already a chartered scheme TO supply its
private houses with heat by steam in win
ter with suggestion that the same pipes
could be used to supply cooled air in the
summer When by opening a register our
citizens can lower the temperature to n
comfortable pointan then draw iced water
from the spigots, we shall have arrived NJ

THE New York Commercial Adyertiser ex-
poses the untruthfulness Of the pretense
that the vaults of the ub.treasury in New
York are likely to bo burst asunder by the
five hundred tons of silver on hand in that
city. In the first place the single vault
used ut the sub-treasury is not more than
quarter full then the government has the
use Of the whole fre-proof custom-house,
only few steps from the sub-treasury.
There are vaults in Washington, in San
Francisco, Carson City, Philadelphia and
Baltimore. In the vaults of single gov
ernment establishment in France over $780,
100000 silver coin and bullion, in addition
to Sl50,000,000 gold coin and bullion, are Sc
curely kept. The talk about bursting vaults
was q shallow and silly device, quite on a
par with the other devices by which
Mr.. SHERMAN has sought to defeat the
will of congress. He has steadily resisted
the force of an act of congress which is alb
solutely mandatory as to bi.metalic stand
ard and has done everything in his power
to retard the circulation of silver and to
render it unpopular. Then he quotes the
effects Of his own acts as a reason why BIZ
metallic standard should be abandoned.
We hope the provision now part of the
sundry civil service bill will be made so
specific in its directions that the secretary
will have no chance to eyade it.
