public affairs II is impossible TO exaggcrato
the importance Of the political events which
u thas in store, or the necessity Of resolute
vigilance on the pa't Of every citizen who
desires TO preserve the government that the
founders gave us. The debates and acts of
congress, the utterances Of the press, the
exciting contests OF the Republican and DEM
oeratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying drift of
public sentiment. will all bear directly and
effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presiden-
tai election, to be held in November. Four
years ago next November, the will of the ma
ton, as expressed at the polls, was thwarted
by an abominable~ conspiracy, the promoters
ana Deneticiaries of which still hold the Of

repeated in 1892 The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant and insO-
tent aamlnls.ration intrenched at Washing

ing the gang and brenking its power. The
same men are now intriguing to restore their
leader n themselves to places from which
they were driven by the Indignation of the
people,; VIII they succeed The coming

chronicle the facts as they are developed, and
to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their
relations TO expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of life,
and in great things II steadfast purpose to
maintain the rights of the people and the

Grant and the Herald.

Special to the Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, December 20.-The
New York Herald is largely response
Bile for bringing General Grant before
the country as a presidential candi-
date, but since the furore started it has
been trying to hedge. Recently that
paper has contained many powerful
arguments why General Grant should
not be nominated again. These arti-
cles have contained many severe criti-
cisms upon Grant, and no doubt he
has read them, for the Herald applied
to the General yesterday for permis-
sion for Jerome Stilson, one of its cor
respondents, to accompany him in his
trip to Cuba and Mexico. The General
replied by telegraph quite CURLY that
it would not be agreeable to have Nj.
Stilson accompany the party. 1t is
also an interesting fact that that the
only newspaper man who accompanies
Grant is a correspondent of the Chica-
go Inter Ocean, one of the original
papers which started the Grant boom.

They were dirty, soiled and stained.
Without a word he took off his hat,
placed it on the ground and advanced
to the end of the double ranks. To
the man on his left he gave his right
hand, to him on the right his left, and
so down the entire line he passed,
hand over hand, shaking each heartily
and saying God bless you, God bless
you" Down the line he went, fol-
lowed by Mr.. Seward, who did as his
leader did. Up the next line he came,
his honest face aglow God bless

aud on and on until the last man in
the regiment had been thanked and
blessed 1t was a little thing. Years
later it would have been an absurdity.

What remarkable picture, purporting
to be the oldest and finest portrait Of
Christ extant, was exhibited. The
painting, by DR.. Philip, of Rome, who
has affixed to it the following descrip-
ton: 1T is very old and wonderful.
1t was painted from an engraving on a
medallion, accompanied by a manu-
script on parchment, partly in Latin
and partly in Greek, giving a descrip-
ton of the marks, person and phisiog-
nomy ofChrist. 1t is supposed to be
from the time of the early emperors
of Rome, and was kept till lately in
the private museum of the various
Popes." The portrait, which has
been recently restored, represents the
head and shoulders of the subject, the
head being turned slightly to the left,
and the eyes, which bear an express
sion of great tenderness and dignity,
looking upward. 1t will doubtless form
an interesting study for connoiseurs in
old paintings.
