WASHINGTON. d. q. Sept. %, 1880,
I talked last evening with gentle
man whose Congressional service ex'
tends back twenty years, and who has
been familiar with political events
mar, Of which he was aud oil Of which
he saw"-ior twice that length oil time
He says that beyond doubt the He
publican party is falling into the hands
Of Grant and Conkling, and that
the combination, il successful, means
a chang. 10 the form Of government
II will be remembered that Frank Blair
said when Grant was a candidate tor
the second term, then elected. be
would never leave the White House,
Most people laughed at that, Perhaps
mos, people 10 now, but since then we
have seen the election Of 1876 set aside
ms il no election had ever occurred, aud
have seen manifested among Granfs
friends rapidly growing tendency
TO bring to some Central point
all the power in the country, Federal
and State, The effort is st II being
made, and is far more serious, am
sure, than the plain people think
The intention may not now be specially
IN the interest OF Grant as the coming
man. though believe It's, but it is GER
taiply in the direction OF another system
of Government, The speech OF sena-
tor Conkling the other night was special
IL significant as to determination to
keep the Government in the hands OF
only the most Radical Of Republicans.
The National Republican Of this morn
ing says cditorially, "his Nation must
be preserved as an Inheritance to the
par,y that sarcd IT," This Is the
boldest announcement 80 far plainly
made, though it only puts in
plain words what many republicans
have said, and more believed, 30 we

good oppo rtuniiy to EXPRESS Their
dissent etfec,ually. They did it In

II is very much to be regretted
that The vote in Maine should be so
close. II is an age of distrust, and
already universal suspicion has been
injected into the body polite by the
events Of 1876. Suspicion dcmorAl-
iKcs. leads to recrimination and bit
tyrnoss. and may be considered the
very worst element at present in
American politics. When vote Is

late bad weather, suddenly made

Our Bastrop correspondent, DIR.
Erhard, wrote rs at length, some
years ago, endeavoring to show that
a railroad would be injurious if not
fatal to our town; and the other day
wrote us again reafiirming his views.
Well, we do not care to argue this
question now. DR.. Benjamin Frank
lin, when at a very advanced period
of life, once wrote to clergyman
who had seen fit to catechise him
about his views Of the particulars OF a
future state, that he preferred not to
dogmatize about it, inasmuch as he
should soon knop for himself SO we
feel about the rail road and its conse
quences. Meantime, however, We
have very cheerful degree of conf
dence that the good doctor Erhard
is mistaken, and that the advent OF the
road will assuredly be of great bene,
fit to both town and country.
