THE Grand Army camp fire to be given by
the department of the Potomac tonight at
Masonic temple will undoubtedly be one of
the pleasantest soldiers meetings ever held in
this city. The topic is "Tho Operations
Against Nicksburg," which will be discussed
by Gen. Logan Gen. Gresham, Gen. Raum,
and others. Gen. Grant, the secretary of
war, and Lieut. Gen. Sheridan have promised
positively to be present, and it is not unlikely
that President Arthur will attend. At least
he has indicated decided wish to be present
and will be unless other engagements pre-.
vent. Cen Joseph II. Hawley, who will
preside during the evening, is known as ono
of the best presiding officers in the country.

Mr.. EATON, from the house committee on
the laws relating to the election of president
and vice president, yesterday reported a sub
stitute for the senate bill prescribing the
mode Of counting the electoral vote. The
general provisions Of the substitute differ but
little from the existing law, except as to the
mode of deciding disputed votes. When OBJ.
lection is made to the counting of the vote of
any state, tho ioiut convention is to deter.
mine the question of receiving or rejecting
ii by per capita vote, and whore two re.
turns have been received from any state the
joint convention shall determine which ono
shall be counted by per capita voto. Tho
bill simply proposes to get rid of tho dual
character of the joint convention, and to
mako ii homogeneous assembly, in which
all matters shall be determined by vote
of the majority.

The sero and Yellow Lear OF Politics

The sere and Yellow Leaf OF Politics.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes that paper letter, in
which, after explaining very fully how Mr..
Blaine rs in no ordinary sense of tho word a
candidate" he adds; Another thing is
equally certain, and that is that Mr.. Blaine
is making no effort to restrain his friends
from doing what they please" When per-
son is not candidate and does not wish to
be, it is unfortunate for him not to bo
able to control his indiscreet friends, who
love him not wisely, but too WELL 1t must
not be inferred, however, that Mr.. Blaine
takes no interest in tho vigorous
canvass his friends are making for him. If
he is not a candidate himself, II seems he Is
determined, if possible, to defeat tho eandi-
dacy of some others The correspondent Of
the Tribune says ''He tMr. Blaine) is pleased
to see strength developing for him in New
York, for the reason that it places him in
the pathway of Arthur. Arthur is cordially
dslked by Mr.. Blaine. He would do more,
perhaps, to defeat him than he would any
other one candidate. All the strength that
he can control at Chicago would be massed
against Arthur"
TO aspire to tho presidency of the United
States is not an unworthy ambition, and no
ono would blame Mr.. Blaine for indulging it.
But wo must confess to some surprise that the
'plumod knight" while denying that ho is a
candidate himself should find comfort in the
fact that he is being used as an obstruction to
Others. His political aspirations must, in
