Washington Correspondence Of the Press.
Ex-senator Henderson, Of Missouri
who Is in Washington arguing cases
before the Supreme Court, is outspoker
is earnest in his opposition to the
nomination Of General Grant. he
thinks that with wise nomination the
Republicans have the best chance OF
carrying the Presidential election; but
that the nomination Of Grant would
greatly jeopardize Republican prospects,
The very departure from the traditions
Of our Government in nominating any
man for third term would IN Itself
be an issue of sufficient magnitude to
endapger the result. There is no guar
antee that Grants former methods
would be changed, and without such
guarantees many Republicans would
fail to support him. Mr.. Henderson
thinks that party ties are weaker now
than ever before and that it is perhaps
safe to say ten per cent. OF the people
in the North claim and exercise abso-
solute independence of party, an ele-
ment large enough to change the result
in closely tontested States and turn the
scales in New York, New jersey, Con-
necticut. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
perhaps other States.

On the fly leaf OF the first volume is
written: / intended to present these
volumes to Abraham Lincoln, President

untimely death interposed. 1t was my

intense respect and admiration for his
character and my devotion to the cause
which he upheld-the cause of freedom
and popular government. | now pre-
sent the book to Robert 7. Lincoln, the
worthy son of the great President, as a
mark Of my esteem and regard for him
and his family, and would also add
as a mark of the sincere gratitude
which feel for the kind reception
which Mrs. Potter and | have recently
met with in the United States, and of

The message of Governor Long, o.
Massachusetts, states that the total Of
the public debt of the State at the close
of 1879 is s22, 02O, aga, which is the same
as a year ago. While this is strictly
true, the State financially is not SO well
off as year ago, for on the LIST ofJanuary
1876, there was cash balance in the
treasury of 1924, 5l7.19, against
$3.50, O57.07 on January l, 1880. This
diminution of more than a million
dollars is attributable to mistake
made last year in reducing the State
tax from 81, 900, 900 to 100000.
