The. !Graut Boom.

1t is asserted in some quarters that the
Grant boom is declining; but after hav-
ing closely watched the political tenden-
cics of the times from the moment that
Grant landed on the, Pacific coast to the
present time, we are Gunable to. discover
any evidence of decline in Grants
prospect for the nomination for Presi
dent on the second day Of June next.
OF course the country cannot perpetual]y
be amused by such ridiculous :exhibi-
tions of love for royalty as .was~furnished
by Grants Chicago reception, and also
his receptions at numerous other points,
which proved that the persons who took
part in them were utterly destitute of
selfrespect. Reports of these receptions
burdened the colsnans Of the newspapers,
and impressed many people with sense
of Grants supposed" greatness. But at
the time ofthe San Francisco and the
Chicago receptions, there had been no
visible movement Of the leading Rcpub-
lican politicians to place Grant again in
the Presidential chair. '1t'was under.
stood, however, that the movement was
| on foot, and was sustained by an i'm
mense monied influence, and aided by a
; corrupt ring Of politicians seeking to re-
instatc themselves where they could have
their former opportunities to grow fit on
public plunder and enjoy the honors Of
| official position. But the movement was
not an open and azowed one, except to a
very limited extent; and the plot was
perfected with as much secrecy as posi-
ble. Recently the movement assumed a
more open appearance, and tits now
quite evident that its abettors are fully
pledged and hard at work to bring about
Grants nomination. If the persons en-
gagged in this scheme were small in num-
bcr or weak in resources, the matter would
be entirely different. 1t is now we'll
known that the politicians have put up
the pins to have solid Grant delegation
to the Republican national convention
from Pennsylvania. Illinois, Indiana and
New York; and these delegations will be
elected early in order ao make the Grant
boom feltin all the States that will sub
seQuently select delegates. The scheme
is one that: will apparently be effective,
and is we'll adapted to bring about the
desired result The blooms of the other
presidential candidates seem to have
permanently subsidized, Blaine is now,
hardly spoken Of as candidate; Sher-
man is certainly not gaining any ground.
AMI has no powerful organization Of cap
italists and politicians to advance his
e use. 1T is exceedingly difficult to pre-
diet the action of political convention,
because the'traaes, made by the friends of
opposing candidates cannot be known
before they are put on foot; but:if the
political movements now being worked
up furnish any ground to base an. opin-
ion on, Grant will be nominated fer

Upon investigation it is learned that
the supreme court,of the United States is
equally divided on the. question of the
legal tender quality of:the greenbaeks;
and also on the constitutionality of the
election laws, Justices Clifford, Field,
Bradley and Harlan entertain opinions
that harmonize with the principles ofthe
Democratic party, and Justices Waite,
Swayne, Strong and Miller harmonize
with the Republicans. Justice Hunt,
who is unable, by reason Of age and de-
crepitude, to occupy his seat, would be
succeeded by Edmunds if Hunt could
be retired and the Republicans would
then have majority of the supreme court
that could be depended on to support
them in all emergencies. But as the
Democrats have the majority in the Sen
:atc, the confirmation of Edmunds could
not be procured, if :he-was appointed on

The striking workingmen Of"
Butchers union, and of other working
mems unions in Chicago, are making
considerable trouble in that city. On
Tuesday last they attacked and terribly
pounded several on union men, Gangs
of union men were distributed in some
parts of the city for the evident purpose
of making trouble. Two hundred extra
policemen were placed atthe stock yards
in the forenoon, and one hundred more
were called for in the afternoon. One
nen-union man who was attacked drew a
butcher knife and promptly butchered
one OF. his assailants. Some of the strik.
ers have been out of work for several
weeks, and are destitute and desperate.

Just as the 5:25 p. NJ, eastward
bound fast mail train was steaming out
of Opelika, q hack containing three Irish
gentlemen drove up to tho depot of the
Western Railroad, only to be told that
the train they were in search of was that
just disappearing behind the curve.
Business Of the most pressing nature de-
manded their presence in Columbus at s
o'clock. The hack which had brought
them to the depot had left, so nothing
remained for them to hire but four OK

their driver to finish a handful of sugar

Give dollars more" said the third,
Mr.. Bruton, "to get in ahead Of the

So much money to be made, all in two
hours and twenty minutes, set the
driver crazy. He looked at his team for
q moment and then at the thirty miles
which lay between him and Columbus,
and then as the probable and partly
possible SIS to be made by fulfilling the
Hsntlemen's desires.
"I'se yer man, boss" he said, and
cracking his rawhide whip he mounted
his cart and started Oh his journey. The
first mile was made in slow time, but
after that they warmed up and in an
hour they had caught up with the train
