A solid south for Grant.

Springfield Republican.
General Grant cannot be nominated at
Chicago without the South practically
solid in his favor. The South will have
nearly 800 votes in the convention and
$40 will be required to nominate. Whether
we were discussing Republican or Demo
cratic candidates, we should be the last to
make objection to q candidate on the
ground that the South might be in favor
ofhim,-so far as any such support might
be construed to iniure or faint an other.
wise unobiectionable name. But in the
case Of any Republican candidate, it must
be deeply considered that the South "a
one thing at the convention and quite an.
other thing at the polls in November. The
contingency Is by no means out OF view
that the South may dictate the nomina.
ton Of a candidate, to whose election It
would be unable TO contribute q single
electoral vote. II Grant is nominated,
1t will be because the South isacceSsory to
1t, ut the invitation Of Conklihg and
Cameron. The question before the Re-
publlcn party Is simply one OF q choice OF
birds,-whether 1t will keepthose in hand
or seek those In the bush.
Suppose, forinstance, Grant wereto win
Nirginia's II votes and lose 80 OF New
York, he would lose the election. Throw
In Florida and he would still miss one Of
success. There are no chances ofsuccess

OF losing Ohio and New York at the North.

TIE INSURANCE. Chronicle has interviews
with the Presidents and leading officers OF
several Of the largest life.insurance com
panies, and publishes their opinions as to
what effect the low rates Of interest are
likely to have upon the capital and sur;
plus Of these companies. 1t is plain that
with Government 4 per cent bonds at q
large premium and outside rates 5a6 per
cent, very little, II any, accumulations can
be made above their reserve required by
law, not to speak Of dividends to policy
holders. Should the low rates continue,
many companies will be forced to stop
dividends entirely. The present enorm'
Gus capital of many of the companies,
most Of which is invested in long loans al
much higher rates, will enable them to
continue their dividends to policy-holderE
for some years to come. 1t was, however
the opinion OF many that with the in
creased activity in all departments of bust
ness capital would command better and
even remunerative rates, though 6a7 pei
cent was about all that they could hope
for or expect.

The New York World, in an argument
intending to show that the "solid South
must be pleased with nominees Of the
Democratic Convention II success is to be
expected, demonstrates by %indisputable
agures that the strength ofthe Democratic
party comes from the Contederates and
their sympathizers, AS the New York
World is the leading Democratic paper o.
New York, Its admissions are significant,
"That in relation to the whole Union the
Democratic majorities are chiefly in the
Solid South most Democrats appreciate
it SAYS. "whence comes the Democratic
strength which to-day controls the House
of Representatives in Washington Phi
marily from the Solid South" it says. II
then gives these figures:

Thus only one.third Of the Democratic
strength in the present House is derived
from the North; while two-thirds Of the
Democratic strength comes from the Con.
iederate South. The World makes these
admissions in order to convince the Dem.
ocratic party that it has little to hope
from the North; hence it must make such
Presidential nominations, and such a party
platform, as will satisfy the Solid South
aud carry such few of the Northern States
as will help the Solid South to elect a
President and Congress to. govern the
country.

THE SITUATION IN VIRGINIA.
Republicans and Democrats are be-
slowing much attention upon the pell''-
cal situation in Virginia. Ii will serve
the Republicans good purpose to secure
GRANT delegation from that State to
the nominating convention, even II they
can't carry il Tor their candidate at the
polls; but some little suspicion Is gam
iug ground among Democrats that 'ney
might possibly doboth.
MAuoNE seems, just now, to he the

Tor not only has he succeeded in get
Ting the Readjusters completely under
his command, but it is now said that,
at the Republican convention that Is TO
be held at Stauuton, ne will be able to
shape the deliberations TO suit h's
wishes His present plan is to so man
axe matters that GRANT delegates shall
be chosen, aud that ticket OF prosiden-
tial electors shall be made up, consist
ing of six Readjusters and i've Repuh-
Leans, who will be uupledged, aud who
will doubtless vote for the candidate
who holds out the greater inducement.

this can only be true on the supposi-
ton that GRANT and MALONE come Ia
terms.
IfGRASr proposes TO make terms with
MAHoxE, he must ally himself with the
ayowed friend Of those who believe IN
the reputation OF q State debt. This
wont hurt GRANTS past record much,
but il promises less Tor his iutuse.
