IT having been discovered that JEFF
ferson said, 81 should unwilllngly be
the person who, disregarding the
sound precedent set by an lllustrious
predecessor, should furnish the first
example of pIolongation beyond the
second term of office" the Grant
boomers are prepared to write the great
American statesman down as a dema-
gogue of the first water. Grant is so
exalted, and Jefferson 80 low In the po-
litical history of the country that the
boomers regard comparison of the
two men odicus. Grant has had his
Belknaps and Babcocks and McDon-
aids and Black Fridays. and is entitled
20 place in history never before &C.
cupied by any President. The rule of
Jackson has been reversed In gift tax
ing, and the ex-President and third
termer is the most notorious hummer
the world has ever known. His fame
reaches in all directions.

DENNIS KEARNEY has lately in
dulged in one of his characteristic har-
argues at the Cooper Union, New
York. He was violent In his abuse of
railroad corporations and of officials
and of political leaders and of news
papers, and of Tilden, whom he de-
nominated political devil fish," He
said there was going to be revolution,
and that somebody's throat would be
cut, and he as cody added, be did not
care whose throat should be cut 80 il
is not Dennis Kesrney's. The hat wa
then passed around for the benefit OF
the ignorant demagogue, and it is
thought nobody contributed anything
except representatives of the CLASSES
abused.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says Mr..
Voorhees, resorts to the argument that
if greenbaeks were good for soldiers
pay during the war they are now good
enough for general public use. This
is one of the powerful greenbsck argu-
ments so triumphsntly presented from
stumps aud street corners eighteen
months sgo in Texas. It is matter of
surprise that Senator Coke let this
strong point, presented by Hannah
when at Waco in the last canvass, slip
from himself to the Indiana Senator.
But the latter is & frolicsome sort Of
fellow, and while hanging about the
cloak room of the Senate he heard
the Texas Senator rehesrsing to
Nat Henderson the speech which
was to be the effort of his life,
and 30 VOORHEES, got in the best part of
Coke's speech in advance of him. OF
course, he did this just to make the
Texas Senator's speech little dull, and
to allow the senator's and lockers on
to take drinks and smoke and crack
jokes. Certainly Voorhees, did not
propose to measure ears with any
Texas greenbacker. His record is too
well known, for during the war he
not only denounced the legal tender
act as unconstitutional, but he reviled
and abused the soldiers and did his
best to give aid and comfort to the
rebels. That be should turn up now
as. the champion both of the green
back and the soldier is preposterous.
He is great jokist and he was merely
paving up dust in advance of Coke
who has been denominsted in the
Senate, the buffalo bull of the south
western plains.

The purchase of the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad By its longtime
rival, the Louisville and Nashville
Company, recently, has excited appre-
tensions among the people along the
entire lines of nearly 1900 miles in
extent that the strength gained by the
Louisville company through such q
union will initiate against the public
interests in pecunlary point of view.
For nearly eighteen months these roads
were waging war against each other,
and mutually jeopardiz;ng the value
of their stocks.

A WASHINGTON letter to the Baltimore
Sun says notwithstanding that leading
Republicans, both journalists and con-
gressmen, have expressed strong dis
approval of the proposition now pend
ing in the New York Legislature to
select presidential electors by congress
sional districts, it is noted that strong
inside influence Is being broughtto bear
from Washington in favor of the pro-
ject. There is so much prospective sd-
vantage in it for the Republican party,
as it would in all probability settle in
advance the result of the next presi-
Dental election, that it need not be a
surprise If the scruples which may be
In the way are brushed aside.

THE Henderson Times says that the
split in the Republican party led by
Davis and Cochran resulted from the
money QUESTION. the Davis wing was
composed of soft money people, that
have been waiting for George Washing
ton Jones' car loads Of fats, while the
Cochrsnites believed in hard money.
They have healed differences, but the
Times is satisfied that the cessation Of
hostiiities is only the resort to forlorn
hope, that recognition and pap may be
secured at Washington. But what Is
going to be done with "Wssh."

TILE Dsmnc-sts of philadelnhi

THE Democrats of Philadelphia are
outbidding both 8. Louis and Cincin-
natl for the next national convention.
The hotel men make liberal offers, and
the permanent exhibition building Is
ndered free of charge for the use of
the convention. 1t is capable of seat
ing 1000 delegates and $1,000 specta-
tors. 1t is claimed that the halls of
the Western cities are sweat boxes
during the summer months, and that
besides enjoying comfort while in Phil
adelphia, the city is of easy access from
all points of the country. The last
Democratic convention held in Phila-
delphia was in 1s4s, when Taylor was
nominated.

MR.. REAGAN, through courtesy, it is
said, presented bill in the House
authorizing the construction of a mil
itary railway from San Antonio to L.
redo. Tne guarantees of the govern,
ment asked in this bill are far in ex-
cess of what is known as the Epson
bill, and 1t is thought the latter will
soon receive the favorable endorsement
of Congress. 1t is this bill which is
so earnestly approved by Gen. Sher-
man, and which the people of Texas
desire to see law.

ADMIRAL AMMENs' Nlcaraguan canal

ADMIRAL AMMENs' Nlcaraguan canal
scheme is justly the subject of ridicule,
and we are satisfied that before he
and the would be president of two
schemes, one the tearing of continents
asunder with nitro glycerlne, and the
other rszing the structure of vast re-
public and building in place thereof an
imperial establishment, have gotten
through with drumming up receptions
and watching the presidential boom,
NJ. de Lesseps will have enlisted the
moueyed world in the great canal pro-
ject. The one proposition Is to afford
a magnificent support to Grant and his
band of hirelings, and the other is in
the interest of commerce, and is based
upon the opinions of Suez canal
builder, who has looked at the obsta-
cles in the way of the Panama scheme,
and has snapped his fingers at them as
no impedImeut to skill and money.
