The next step n the Grant combination is
the securing OF lllnolss AZ delegates. The
state convention has not been called yet, but
the plan OF the Grant managers viii be to have
it he'd at as early date az possible New
York Tribune.
There is 10 reason why the supporters OF
Blaine and Grant should lot be careful to be
just and far toward each other. The above
brief editorial from the New York Tribune OF
Thursday, Blaine journal, IS not fair. We'd
nesday the day before the above editorial ap-
peafed Il tie Tribune, the Iliaois state COM
mttee met in Chicago; and, though the COM
mttee contained majority OF Grant men
strong enough to have fixed things as they
pleased and though al present Illinois IS EVIL
IDENTITY FOR Grant, they did not call the state
convention 10 be "he.d at as early date as
possi5er-they called it to be held on the 18th
OF May date so late as to give the friends Of
every candidate all the time in which to work
they can reasonably desire-a date nearly three
months ahead. Illinois, therefore, will not
speak ia season to influence other states, ex-
cept such states as by their own action may
choose 10 put of their conventions TIL the last
moment, IN order to wait for the decision OF
Illinois. Michigan will hold her state conven-
ton week before that of Illinois; and pres
ent appearances indicate that the first choice OF
Michigan is likely to be Blame, who is for
special reasons. as well as the general ones
which operate throughout the country, great
fsvonte with Michigan Republicans. The Re-
publicans OF Michigan intend to be fair and
just toward all their brethren; ard we should
regard it IS wrong TO be accused OF calling
our convention at time to produce particu-
lar effect or other states.-Post and Tribune.
II is quite evident that the Post and Tribune
is preparing to succumb TO the whip and spur
OF Cameron and Conkling.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March 1st, 1880

Tomorrow the new refunding bill will be
taken up probably for discussion, as that is the
day to which it was assigned. The friends OF
this measure have found a strong argument in
its favor, from the facts that the treasury books
show Wm Il. Vanderbilt to be the owner OF
thirtyo millions in four per cent. bonds,
twenty million dollars CT which he bought at
par; as their present market value Is 107, Mr..
Vanderbilt has already made profit OF one
million four hundred Thousand dollars by mis-
investment, besides the years interest, which
is eight hundred thousand dollars more. Mr..
Vanderbilt calculates that when the nav re-
funding bill, which provides for three and a
half per cent bond, is passed, the fours will
not sell for less than 40, and Of course the
recent advance Of the fouIs makes 1t highly i'm
probable that higher rate of interest can be
established.
The fact that Indiana has elected q solid
Blaine delegation to the Chicago convention.
and that the illinois convention to elect dele
gates has been postponed to May 10th, are
dissppontments to the friends OF General
Grant. who expected strong following in the
first State and to control the second for early
action. The divisions and dissatisfactions in
New York and Pennsylvania also tend TO midi
cate that nobody is to be nominated by boom
previous to the national convention, but must
abide by the decision there. Don Cameron ia
SAID to be sad over the fact that even his own
State objects ito his debating terms to the
whole Republican party.
The Presidents views on the expedency of
reaffirming the Monroe doctrine, are expected
to be made public during the week. The un-
derstanding is that he will take very decided
grounds. The division among those who sup
port, and those who oppose such steps on the
part Of the President will not be partisan, but
it is thought large majority in congress will
agree with him. There is growing distrust
OF the French scheme for the Panama Canal.
and well there may be, for besides the prospect
of French establishment on the Isthmus to
threaten our peace, it is discovered that De-
Lesseps, the French leader in the scheme is
not an engineer at all, and probably Americans
who have fastened to give him support, will
now hasten to retreat on the belief that he is
simply wildcat speoulator.
Secretary Sherman has made good his prom
Use of reducing the public debt to below $4,000
100000 before the expiration OF bis term Of Of
fee. On the 1st OF February, 1880, he was within
s7SO,OOO Of his promise, and he has during the
last month reduced the debt $4,000, 900, besides
paying 100000 in pensions.

TAXING CHURCH PRoPRRTY.-One OF the New

ing church property: Taking Plymouth chu.ch
in Brooklyn for a practical illustration, he
challenges the justice of exempting it from
state tax-which, on valuation OF 100000.
would average only liz cents to each OF its
ENTHUSIASTICALLY when they pay $4,000 q
year for their sittings, $4,000 for music and
$4,000 for the cergyman's salary. In reply
ing to the popular argument that taxation OF
church property would be specially severe on
country parishes, he mentions, among other
queer illustrations, the town Of Marcy, in
Oneida county town which contains no tav-
erp, no shop nor any smithy, and where NO
lawyer or physician or clergyman lives. Its
pulpit is supplied on alternate Sundays from
. neighboring town. Its little Baptist meeting
house he therefore regards as situated in %
thorough country parish as exists, and the
State tax on it would amount to 1929 year
which sum he thinks the congregation could
defray from the annual egg yield Of two able
bodied hens.
