ARE THEY True fRIENDSi

There is one result of the third term cam
paign which all patriotic Americans whatever
their politics, must deeply deDlore. General
Grant holds an entirely different place In the
estimation of the people now from that which
was almost universally accorded to him year
ago. When he left the Presidency everybody
seemed eager to forget the mistakes Of his adj
ministratiOn, to put the best possible construc-
ton upon all his public actions, to do the fullest
Justice to the substantial manllncss and integ-
rity of his character and to the many amlable
qualities which lay at the foundation even of
his faults: The good wishes of the whole Ma
ton followed him. The organs of all political
parties united in tributes of gratitude ond adj
miration. During his tour around the world
the people watched his movements with pride,
and on his return they welcomed him with I'M
affected heartiness. He was the first citizen of
the Republic. No American since Washington
had filed place of such exceptional distinction.
If he had been elevated again to the Chief
| Magistracy of the United States by q sponta-
neous and irresistible movement among the
people, this extraordinary honor, dangerous as ii
would have been, might have seemed only the
natural climax of a phenOmenally successful
career But how different is the situation to-
day. 1t is proved now beyond any question that
the general demonstration Of esteem for the
ex-President was the expression of personal
feeling merely. There is not, and there never
has been, a popular desire for his return to the
White House. On the contrary, no sooner Il
the question Of his denomination presented in @
practical form than all the fervor Of thu
public welcome is chilled. For the time
being General Grant has ceased to be the lido
OF lie Nation. He is exhibited to us as one of &
dozen candidates. struggling for the prize will

The Duchess Of Marlborough has returned to
England, in consequence of the change of
Government. Among all the outs who are in
I" and ms who are out" it is doubtful whether
any official will be as much missed in his place az
this lady who has shown so much zeal and dis
cretion in relieving the suffering of the wretched
people of Ireland. If correspondents are to be
trusted, her chief regret in leaving was that she
was Obliged to give up her work, and almost
her last act was to indite an open letter to the
Lord Mayor of London telling the same story
rs that sent to us by Mr. Redpath of the increas-
ing need and its probable continuance until the
last of July, and appealing to the people of
England to continue their contributions A
public recognition OF her services to the cause
of humanity is offered by the Queen i'll the shape
of the Order of Victoria and Albert. A heavy
subscription to the Famine Fund not only from
the royal family, but from the people OF her own
class in England, would probably have pleased
the Duchess (who is a good sensible woman, ns
well as n Duchess> more than the ribbon and
jewel.
The English people seem almost rs In
different now to the famine in Ireland as they
were at first. The loan OF public fund to the
landlords, for works which are not yet inaugu-
rated, and the hatteIing speeches of the Royal
Princes about the American contributions, do
not cover the fact that the English, princes,
mobiles and cOmmOners, have sent very little
hard cash to their starving subjects and ten
ants. Indeed, the Irish have not secured aid
from the quarters where they had the most
right to expect it.. Ships loaded with food and
cattle belonging to their landlords were, 1t Is
stated actually leaving the Irish ports at the
very time when the American relief vessels
we're coming in. The levying of Peters pence
has not been lightened during the famine.
What chance was there for the Pope to show
himself a veritable father of his starving flock
and for the English landhOlder to prove him
self brother man and not shOpkeeper in the
eyes of the world. But they were blind to the
opportunity. 1t was the American who, as
usual when help was needed, was Indifferent to
the almighty dollar. There can be little doubt,
however, that these facts have had effect in
lessen1ng the contributions from this country.
Our correspondents reports show the absolute
necessity of continuing our aid until July ut
least.
Mr.. Parnell, it is rumOred, will return to this
country in October. The goose he probably

The INIT rule and the third term should be buried
together at Chicago.

There is q loud call by the anti Tilden Democrats
for the South to consolidate on Bayard and nomi-
nate him at Cincinnati. II they do that the North
can be depended upon to consolidate for his defeat
in November.
Tho Third Termers who have never admitted that
Grant has been losing, are now braoing up and
declaring that he has begun to gain again. Leaving
out Of tho discussion the curious spectacle of q
spontaneous" movement gaining and losing, it is
difacult to SEQ where the signs of gaining como
from. Certainly not from Illinois, where the Cook
County bolters are begging to BIO admitted to the
State Convention on any terms. Certainly not
from New-York or Pennsylvania, where the unit
rule hopelessy shatteredj and certainly not from
tho South: wheEe tne directions rom Grant are
tofore been conceded to Grant, now shows such
changes that tho Third Termers claim only half OF
the sixtean delegates who are to DO elected on May

all the violence and all the arts that are COM
monty employed In capturing delegates and
manipulating conventions. The criticisms upon
his administrative career, the exposure OF his
various mistakes, the defects Of his character,
the record of his associates, are discussed in
tone which contrasts strangely with the late
harmonious chorus of gratitude. 1t needs no
prophet to foretell that In case Of his renOmina-
ton he will have to pass through a campaign Of
SANDER and denunciation inexpressibly mortt-
flying to every American who values the fame
of an American hero. Already it is manifest
that his nomination, far from arOusing enthu-
siasm, would be followed by a formidable de-
lection from his party. The great General
would close his public life in disastrous de-
feat.
But if the warm regard Of the people for Gen.
eral Grant has been interrupted it has not been
destroyed. Under happier circumstances 1t
will revive. The third term movement was not
a scheme of Grants devising. 1t was begun
and pushed forward by other persons in their
own interest not at all in his; and to this day
the ex-President has taken only passive part
In the operations. Aspiring politicians have
used him for their personal advancement.
Under the authority of his name they have
packed primaries, organized bolts, broken up
conventions in riot, "gOt at the leaders of
ward and district associations, and performed
all the other questionable deeds which are COM
monty reckoned as the dirty work Of politics.
They represent him as scrambling and fighting
for place; but sooner or later it will be under
stood that they have really been running only
their own campaign in their own way. When
it Is no longer possible to connect General
Grant with such transactions as the recent
affair in Chicago, the people will turn again
toward the distinguished soldier with that
affectiOnate esteem which has been a higher
honor to him than any political office can confer.

The same reasons which make it improper for
Congress to disturb the tariff at this time, make
it wise on the other hand to encourage under
takings which will help the sale of American
manufactured goods abroad. The fall OF prices
and the choked state of the home markets render
it important to have as large q foreign sale OF
our wares rs possible. 1t would be a calamity
especially to lose the promising trade
now springing up with such countries as Brazil,
Australia and Mexico, which has been deVel-
Oped by the American steamship lines to those
markets. Since the day when it became pos
sible to send the products of American factories
to those markets direct under the American
flag, the sale of those products has increased
enormously. The sale In Brazil is now four
times as large as it was two years ago; and
that it promises to continue to grow Is shown
by the unprecedented rush of merchants and
travellers from that country to the United
States at this time. The same facts are true in
general way of the Australian, Cuban, ana
Mexican trades. 1t appears to be the peculiar
Office of steamship lines to create and expand
trade in valuable goods and if America is to
sell her manufactured wares on large scale,
she must have steamship lines to the
countries which wish to buy from U.S.
| In view Of the fact therefore that the
American lines to Brazil and Australia are in
danger of being withdrawn, owing to British
connections it is interesting to note that bill
| to sustain these lines was agreed upon yester-
day by the House Committee on Post Offices anu
