GRANT AND HAYES.
Some Pitly and Pointed Opinions by Con

gresham Cox Concerning Them.
Washington Postl
What do you think of all this parade over
General Grant?' said a Post reporter to
Sunset" Cox the other day.
There is nothing wonderful about II, Z"
sicsl and may be here to day and gone tc-
morrow. Even .'Pinafore' itself must
subside into the limbo of departed melo-
dies
do you think he will again be candi-
date for the presidency
Il can not give you all my reasons, but
my impression is that the Republican party
will not nominate him. II they do l don't
believe the people will elect him. The
Democratic party will run a man, who has
the virtues of civism, against him If he he
nominated. II he be not nominated we will
run Hancock most probably, az against
Blaine or some one who will lift the sanguir-
airy nocturnal garment. But much depends
on what Governor Seymour may do. All
that l have said is based upoi the idea that
ne will never accept. That has been my
impression fro:Ii personal knowledge of his
wishes But some revelations from recent
interviews indicate that he might be con-
strained to accept. II so, nothing can stand
in the way of his success"
You think then, that the people have
not alt lgetber forgotten Grants administra-
ton aud its peculiarities?"
General Grants career as president is to
me very unlike his career as a general HIS
administration here was so reckless, the
reins were held with such an unsteady hand
that nothing but his splendid career and
success as a general could have saved it from
universal obloquy. All that be ever said
during JohDson's administration about the
treatment OF the South was thoroughly ig
nored when he became chief magistrate.
His modes were military and not civic;
therefore nobody wondered at his use of
bsyonets in controlling certain Gdministra-
tons OF state affairs in the South against
general judgment"

Trouble With the Department
Among Other Experiences.
Washington Gazette

Washington Gazette.l
Not a day has passed within the past
three weeks hat a close observer has
not noticed a little group of careworn
and pretty generally detected looking
men hanging listlessly about the steps
leading into the building now occupied
by the census bureau. They have
hung around there faithfully, and may
be seen there tomorrow, nay more,
tor many days to come; and people
who have, perhaps, wondered
at their presence, may be sur
prise when informed that they
are the late census enumerators-
the little band of men who worked
faithfully and swiftly; who we're
forced by reason of duty into the
privacy of peoples houses and do
nestle affairs; were brow beaten and
snubbed and subjected to all manner
Of abuses for the sake of earning a few
dollars. And it may not be out Of
place to remark that they we're dol
lars we'll earned, and it has assumed
the form of an actual outrage that
they have not yet been paid for their
industry. Their work has been
closed for some days; they have can
vassed the district thoroughly, and
the law making the appropriation for
paying them Immediately available
has been grossly disregarded. The
secretary of the interior is to blame
for this state Of affairs. He has
manifested a peculiar desire since the
work first began to delay all disburse-
ments OF this appropriation, and in
addition to fixing the salaries Of the
enumerators at a rate far below that
provided in the census act continues
to defer a settlement. Most Of the
men are in needy circumstances, and
there are some whose families arc
actually in dire distress, and 10 hear
their stories Of suffering wives and lit
tie ones, sick and hungry, the delay
becomes more hurtful and, places Mr..
Schurz in a position which merits
every word of reproach and denuncia-
tory epithet which has been applied
to him by these men during the past
few days.

WHAT THOUGH THE FLOW
ERS FADE AND DIE?
BY W. c. WOODWARD.

What though the flowers fade and die
Beneath fierce winters chilling breath,
What though their leaves now scattered be
Beneath the sweeping hand of death;
They only fade to come again
When spring awakes them from their tomb,
When kissed by summers gentle rain,
They smile and blush with sweetest bloom.
What though our brightest joys now pale,
Our star Of hope be dlmly seen.
What though dark clouds Of sorrow veil
I ife's happy dreams or gayest scene?
The clouds will soon be rent apart.
Our star Of hope will softly shine,
Lies joys will once moro greet the heart
That grief has left to mourn and pine.
What though the friends for whom we weep
Fall like flowers meath deaths cold hand,
They only know a passing sleep,
To wake from it in that bright land
Where chilling winds can never blight
Or char &c to cold, eternal May2
Where sorrows dark and rayless night
Gives place to Gods own changeless day.
