CHICAGO, February 20.-The Chicago

ent sends . long interview with General
Lopgtreet, who astonished the reporter
by announcing that he Is for Grant above
all other Presidential candidates. In ex-
PLANTATION Of this seeming inconsistency in
supporting the man against whom he Bit
terly fought, he said the war ended his
strife against the principles, which are to
govern his country; that be Is fully recon-
structed and further thats he Is in
full sympathy with the Republican party,
and sor that reason he has been compelled
to give up business in New Orleans and
suffer vindictiveness from all parts Of the
country where he has resided or been
known. He is for Grant because he be-
lieves Grant alono can carry Louisiana,
North Carolina and Georgia. He explained
as to the latter State that Grant was the
only candidate who excited enthusiasm and
tina. the negroes, who are about half the
population, will brave the dangers attend
Ing the exercise of suffrage and will unite
with the independent democrats and carry
the State for Grant. The Independents
will be ready Tor this alliance, as 1t Is tbs
only plan by which they can hope to secure
State patronage. Longstreet does not
think Blaine or Sherman would excite any
enthusiasm among the blacks or call ont
their full vote. Interviews with about If

Press Association OF Illinois, left the In

A CARpEr-BAa CANDIDATE.

The Sacramento Workingmen have
nominated W. Minis for Second Trustee
1t is not felicitous choice. Mr.. Minis is
affiliated in no way with the interests of
this city. He came here as State officer,
from another county, where his home has
always been, and now that his term has
expired it seems that he wants an office at
the hands of this community. Why
should he have it He knows nothing
about the city business. He is not COM
petent to transact that business. He is
connectedinnowayw with Sacramento. This
city cannot afford to play any tricks with
her own interests. Her financial condition
is such that the most sagacious supervision
of all her affairs is absolutely necessary
She requires in the Office of Second Trustee
a man thoroughly identified with her in
terests, familiar with every public need,
and experienced in the functions he will
have to perform. Such man is not to be
found in the person of Mr.. Minis, who,
though he may be good enough man, is
not the kind of candidate prudent bust
ness men would think of choosing for so
responsible a position.

A SIGNIFICANT ELECTION.

The election in Liverpool, England, has
resulted in the return of a Conservative
member, notwithstanding the fact that the
Liberal candidates made the most profuse
promises to the voters. As Liverpool has
for many years been regarded as Liberal
constituency, this result is specially signif-
icant, and the Times is probably right in
constituting it as an indication that the pub
lie do not share Mr.. Gladstone's views as
to the failure of the policy of the Con-
servative Government. The result in Liv-
erpool appears to show that Lord Beacons-
field and the Jingoes have by no means
exhausted their hold upon the popular con-
when the disasters in South Africa and
Afghanistan are still fresh in the men,
cries OF the people, and when the Irish
distress appears to be at its worst,
the probability of Liberal reaction strong
enough to carry that party Tito power
again, cannot be regarded as great. 1t is
quite possible that the misfortunes of the
Government have not yet illuminated, but
it is evident that it has been much more
firmly seated than the recent laudatiors
of Gladstone would seem to indicate. The
truth is that the English people do not
regard that statesman as safe leader,
especially when the foreign policy de-
mands firm hand, and though Beacons-
field has been often discredited, the great
pretensions of his foreign policy have
fastered the public and tickled national
vanity.

ISLAM VERSUS cHRIsrENDom

In the january number of BiGck1Coods
Magazine there is quite remarkable
paper, purporting to be the expression of
the views of Turkish Effendi upon
Christendem and Islam. There are sew
eral indications of commences about the
paper, but whatever its origin it is I'M
questionably very novel and even start
ling article. The Turkish Efendi supposed
to write it is described as an educated and
very liberal Ottoman, who has travelled
much, who is member of the Theosophi-
cal Society, and whose wealth and position
confer upon him practical security in his
own land. While by no means bigoted
Mohammedan, this Efendi takes the
ground that the influence of Christianity
upon Europe has been very much more
evil than good, and that it would in fact
have been better for the human race
if the Battle of Tours had gone
the other way, and the Cross had sunk be-
meath the Crescent. His theory is that
Christianity, as practiced by European
races, has only developed sordid qualities
that modern civilization is merely the wor-
ship OF Mammon; that material prosperi-
ty is made the tombstone of everything
that the growth and cultivation of nobility,
charity, patience, purity, truth, have been
dwarfed and checked by the struggle for
xro,Ifl, +bot +ba p,anufa cturip.r na4ioDS
have been the worst in this scramble and
that Islam has, notwithstanding its defects,
done more for real civilization than Chris
tendon. He indeed expressly separates the
doctrines of Christ from what is now called
Christianity, and the latter he styles &c An
ti-Christendom, so signifying that it is a
perverted religion which its founder could
not recognize to-day. To this Anti-Christen-
dom, he asserts, the woes of Turkey have
been attributable, and he also thinks, what
others have thought before him, that the
civilization of the present age may con-
tain the seeds of its own destruction in
those very agencies which have appeared
to minister most to its growth. The arti-
Gle is remarkable one, and our brief in
dication of its scope and tendency is only
intended to stimulate the curiosity of
those who have not read it. Whatever
defects such arguments may have, they
possess very real value in bringing US
face to face with that other side of IA
miliar topics which we should probably
never see if we listened only to the CON-
monplace discussions.
