Grant, the Republican President under
whose administration the people were
robbed of hundreds of millions. and who
kept and cherished the thieves after their
conviction.
Hayes. the Republican who was not
elected President, but who took the office
from the hands of the forgers and perjur-
ers, and kept it for four years.
Garfield, the Republican President
whose personal dishonesty had been be-
Ieved in and openly declared by the great
majority of his own fellow partisans; the
convicted bride taker and perjurer.
What q record that would be for the
historian of the United States during the
period beginning in 1868 and ending SIX
teen years later!
Happily, the shameful chapter will end
with the erd of Hayes.-N 7 Sun,

the reason for the rumors that Merritt

The Grant wing of the Republican party
had demanded this change. The presi~

help out his friend from Ohio, was rather
disposed to concede the point, but Secre-

people, who have been making usurious
terms with Gen. Garfield, have already
secured pledge that John Sherman and
Carl Schurz shall not be considered as
even members of the party after the 4th

has had depressing effect upon any
negotiations that Secretary Sherman had
TO suggest. This is the reason why Sher-

LONDON, Friday, May 81, II

LONDON Friday May 81, 1880.
A Berlin dispatch to The Times says: I" The
Centre party observes strict reserve. but 1t denies
loudly that waiting for instructions from the Vat
can. The Proeresslsts are trying to form majority
against the Government. The National Liberals are
still divided on their attitude regarding the new bill re-
visiDg the May Laws. very hard struggle will have
to be fought on this matter In the Chamber OF Depu
ties.
"Tho reasons why the Government has resolved to in
troluce tho bill are wofold. Firstly. the VATICAN has
not yet answered tho resolutions Of the State Ministry
of the 18th Of March, declaring what concessions VIII
be accorded by Prussia should the Vatican really WISH
peace. Prince Bismarck is now resolved TO c0erce tue
Vatican TO declaration He hopes that me new
bill will be the best for the purpose f0r frSsla
not intend to accorded powers before the Ha
has agreed to the demands Of the State, MS every
the part OF the Cura for retardng an unuer
standing vii thereby be swept away. Another reason
why Prince Bismarck wishes to Introduce the Dli IS
SAID exist in the fact that not only very lnhuena
persons Mt the Imperial Court wish TO see peace pc
tween Church aud State restored but that the same ue
sire prevails in Munich and Vienna"
