nre unchanged. They do not assault in
force, but they sap and mine for advantage.
A few days ago an occurrence in the Senate
shows their unchanged purposes Senator
WHYTE, of Maryland, asked unanimous
consent to have bill removing the disabil-
tiles of JAMES M. HEGsKELL, former Con-
federate soldier of Baltimore taken up, and
Senator EDMUNDs, of Vermont, very natu-
rally asked why its friends did not attempt
to pass in its place tho measure of Senator
MCDONALD of Indiana, thus repeating the
law altogether which imposes disabilities
for service under tho Confederacy. This
brought Senator BAYARD q rebel sympa-
thizer during the rebellion, TO the front to
urge the passage of this bill in advance oi
the general measure, as it was case oil In
dividual exigency, for the reason that
HEIsKELL was mere boy, 'under age dur
ing his whole term of service in the
Confederate army. He contended that
the youth of the country who had
taken unpatriotic steps should be encour-
aged TO come back and help to make this
what we all wish it to be--a Government
resting in the hearts of tho people. This
pretty appeal in behalf of infancy was met
by Senator EDMUNDs, who opposed the
measure for the reason that the time seems
to be approaching when not only all laws
to support the war for the Union and to
protect the rights of the people preserved
by the Union, but every bulwark of liberty
under the law and secured by law is to be
swept away, leaving to what is called state
sovereignty the lives, fortunes and safety
of citizens of the United States; leaving to
State courts the power to declare that su-
premacy not under but against the Con-
stitution shall go so far as to give her courts
and her laws jurisdiction in matters of Ma
tonal concern and in cases rising under the
National Constitution. "The day for ac-
"complishment of this end" he said, has
apparently been fastening; whether it il
a day that will hasten peace, good order
"and fraternity is open to question. don't
think it is"
OF ITSELF it is not matter of great i'm
portance whether this individual, whC
rushed into the rebellion while his State
kept out of it, is restored to citizenship o.
not, but halt must be called somewhere
and by somebody,or the whole Nation, if i
is permitted to exist, will live under thu
shadow of rebellion. To say this may b
called waving the bloody shirt" but if so
so be it-for it seems to be important t.
meet these questions as they arise, that TIN
country may see and understand the clos
sympathy that still exists between the Dem
ocratic party and crushed rebellion. 1t j
duty-it is safety to continue all the ex
isting barriers between disoyalty and tn
Army of the United States, otherwise TIN
time may come when the history of 1856
and Buchananism may be repeated to ou
National detriment.

SPARKS FROM THE POLITICAL ANVIL.

The latest story about Sherman is that the
friends Of Grant ard Blaine are trying to unite
their forces in Ohio, carry the delegation of his
own State against the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and thus kill him Off as a candidate
Washington Dispatch.
General Grant may be nominated at Chi
cago and if he is, will, without question, be
elected. But the contest for his election will
be much harder one than if his nomination
had been the result Of a popular demand which
has been rendered impossible by the interfer-
ence of political managers.-New Haven Pal
idditm.
This is the drift of the indications to-day,
and as they will in all probability be soon
reinforced by Illinois and other powerful
States, the drift may grow strong enough be-
fore June to resolve itself into the unanimous
form that has always been anticipated as a
possibility and that will put the election Of the
next President almost beyond the range ol
human Philadelphia Bulletin.
General Grant has a strength which is not
dependent upon mere political machinery
The causes of that strength are obvious and
deep. Whether or not ho is to be the Republi-
can nominee for the Presidency, he is trusted
by the people as one who would be safe EX-
ecutiye; as one true to the Union; to the main
tenance of the public credit and honor; as per
sonally pure; us being both honest and firm
Conventions may indicate his strength, they
do not make it.-PToyideRce Journal.
The Republicans of New York have done
what everybody with their eyes open know
they would do-lollowed the example of Penn
| sylvania and pronounced for Grant. Aud the
same sort of people arc convinced that what
the Republicans in Pennsylvania and New
York have done will be done by those in
large majority of the States at the Chicago
Convention. 1t is better for the South that il
should be so, for the General if elected. will
treat the South with more cousiderat ion than
would be awarded her by any of his rivals fol
the nomination Alexandria GaseHe.

THE GERMANS AND GENERAL GRANT.
1t Is contended in certain quarters within
the Republican camp that the German Re-
publican voters as class are opposed to
the nomination of General GRANT This
question is even carried so far us to evolve
the declaration that if General GRANT shall
be nominated at Chicago, the German Re-
publicans, with scarcely an exception, will
refuse to vote for him, and will either play
the role Of stay-at-homes or will vote for
the Democratic nominee. There are intel
| ligent Germans all over the country who
declare in the most positive manner that
this is a slander upon the Republican Ger
mans, and further that they will almost to
| man support the nominee Of the Chicago
Convention, be he GRANT or some other Ro-
publican statesman. In view of these iux-
tapositions-and assuming that the Ger
mans are reasonable and intelligent men,
and never act without good and sufficient
reason for their action-it may not he out
of place to seek some cause for this bruited
hostility toward General GRANT. We cam
not call to mind any occasion where
lie ever uttered sentence that could
be tortured into disrespect toward them.
He has never, whether in the army or in
civil life, made distinctions between Ameri-
can citizens on account of birth or nation
ality. He has ever held, in all communica-
tions on that subject, that the place of mans
nativity is a matter of accident over which
he has no control, and hence is in no degree
responsible. lie has consistently cOntended
that every citizen is equal before the law
and should be protected, irrespective Of the
hue of his skin or whether born on the sol
of this country or elsewhere. No one ques
tions General GRANTS loyalty TO the Unior
or his orthodox faith in Republican princi-
pies and usages. Then what fault can The
German Republicans find in this man? Il
any one knows any reason why they vii
not support General GRANT, then let it be
published; for up to this time none ha.
been given, that we have seen, by thosC
who essay to speak for that class o
our citizens. For this one reason We
are led to doubt the truth of th
statements made, and shall continue in the
faith that they are misrepresented by dema
, gogues who assume to speak for them with
out authority, until they speak for them
selves in this behalf.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says that GEoRGl
C. EIsENMAYER, of ST. Clair county, ILL.,,
prominent German, writes as follows to
, friend in that city: " 1 am in favor of in
| "structing for GRANT for the following
: reasons: First, the rebels fear him second
the negroes revere him. third, Republi
cans trust and have faith in him, anC
"honest Democrats respect him; fourth, h
"is the best and. most fnvorably know
imam on this universal globe, and last, bu
mot least, we can elect him and securel
seat him.

IT is pleasant to be told by the New
York Nail that the indications prove that
" the free and mature choice of the party
evil prevail, and that the nomination
"cannot be clutched by any snap judg-
"ments, or tricks, or sharp practices" That
being so, and we concur in that view, where
are the chronic grumblers, scolders and
"scratchers" to find standing ground in the
coming election ?" othello's occupation will

GOVERNMENT is staggering under hel
load of annual expenses, with barely
enough revenue to meet them. Taxation
has been reduced, and in many instances
taken off entirely; and while the people
have been relieved, the Government has
had its burden increased. This is no time
TO create new Offices. Extra clerks may be
necessary to expedite business, and these
should be provided for; but it is no time

SENATOR CoNKLIN G's UTICA SPEECH

The remarkable speech made by Senator
CONKLING before the Utica Convention has
been spread broadcast over the country, and
has been, no doubt, more universally read
and studied than any effort of the kind
that has been uttered for years. 1t is re-
garded as the keynote of the campaign,
and hence has attracted universal interest.
That it was conceived and delivered with
consummate ability is conceded on all hands,
by friends and foes alike. That it presents
the case fairly, squarely and forcibly is no.
where denied, and that it has made long
stride in the direction of Cancellation and
harmony in the Republican ranks is appa-
rent. 1t was not aggressive, except as
against the common enemy. It's object was
to point to the dangers which impend over
the Nation, and TO awaken in every Repub.
lican heart the warmest impulses of pa.
triotsm and devotion to the country's
welfare 1t rose to a higher plane
than that upon which rests the petty
differences that disturb the internal har-
monies of the party, and no word was
uttered that could be offensive to any true
hearted Republican. The issues, duties
and responsibilities of the opening cam
paign were all laid bare for consideration
and such action as true patriotism might
dictate. The perils that have been fore
shadOwed in the policies and methods oil
the Democracy were presented in living
colors and the proper safeguards against
the worst consequences of those policies
and methods were painted to the mind
with startling power. In this the eloquent
Senator discharged his duty to his party
and to the country in q manner that chal.
lenges the approval of friend and foe. Mr.
CoNKLING has performed no service during
his remarkable career of distinction that
has reflected more credit upon his head
and heart than his able, manly and timely
effort before the Utica Convention.

THE PROGRESS OF THE ECoNFEDERATEs.
Those who attempted to oyerturn this
Government by armed rebellion, and failed,
have since that failure steadily pursued the
purpose of recovering by gradual np.
proaches whatever Of forfeited right still
remains outside the line of full fellowship
aud citizenship, The rebellion was declared
by law as involving certain disabilities as
citizens, and how to render that law
nugatory has been the careful study of the
rebels and their sympathizers since the war
closed, and the effort has been made to
bring full restoration Of these forfeited
rights by the action of Congress While
the Republicans had control of Congress
they were exceedingly generous in remov-
ing disabilities. Indeed, their generosity
has extended so far rs to contribute largely
to the changing of the political character of
the legislative power, The Republicans
lost their estate and the Democrat have
inherited it under the policy Of clemency
aud generosity. Both branches of Congress
have been permitted to pass away from
Republican control. How the Democrats
have behaved in administering the power
they have secured in Congress, the extra
session fully answers for their methods,
purposes and policies all centred in the
cussedness Of that occasion.
While they are more mild in their meth
ods in the present session, their purposes
