GENERAL GRANT.
He Talks Little on POliticS-He Thinks
Political Murder an Issue.

New YORK, March IA representative of
the Times had a chat with General Grant at the
Hygeia Hotel, on Sunday The General said he
had been so closely confined to his room for some
time past that he had but little opportunity to
look into the political situation, but from what
he could gather it seemed to him that the Re.
publicans would nominate either Mr.. Blaine or
Mr. Arthur.
''What will be the character of the Republican
campaign asked the reporter ''That is to
say, will the bloody shirt enter as factor there

''Well, I suppose the Danville investigation
will furnish ammunition for such war though

E'And do you believe the Danville riot had
any political significance in the Virginia cam
paignW
Eyes 1 supposed the Democrats intended to
defeat the Readiusteis at all hazards But the
Copiah county trouble seems to have been worse
than the Danville riot, and shows up the Demo
Gratis in very bad light There is no question
that Mississippi and South Carolina, too, are Re,
publican, with a fair election"
But don't you think the Copiah county riots
have been proved to be a local troublein a rather
uncivilized part of the State, and that the par
Elephants did not represent the Democrats of the
Statel"
General Grant dld not see III In tlaG way In
short there was nothing in General Grants con-
versation to show but that he would be in sym
pathy with the old issue of sectionalism, and the
reporter gathered that he thought such an issue
would characterize the coming presidential cam
paign.
Speaking of General Malone, he thought he
would be recognized as the leader of the Repub
hcan party in Virginia. He's bound to go with
the Republican party, isn't he, said the General
He had not read Brady's recent letter on that
subject
General Grant looks to be the picture of
health, and for this reason his lameness makes
him restless. 1t was storming all day Sunday
and the General was not III the best of humor
He said if the bad weather continued he would
go back to New York in a few days, but he in
tended to remain several weeks if he had good
weather and would visit New York nT the
meantime. The doctors say that the rheuma-
all disappear with the recovery Of the injured
limb.

POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

SEVEN political State conventions have already
been called to be held on Wednesday, April 30.
The Democracy of Brown and Bartholomew
counties have nominated Nelson r.. Keyes for
Judge of that district. and Anderson Pearcefeld
for prosecuting attorney.
THE question whether President Arthur will
be a formidable candidate before the Chicago
convention, Of candidate at all, distinctly de-
ponds upon the DEVELOPMENTS ia the State of
New York.
THE Republican convention of the Seventh
congressional district of South Carolina has
nominated Robert Smalls (colored) for Congress,
TO succeed Mr.. Mackey, deceased. There was
little opposition to Smalls nomination which is
equivalent to election the majority of negro
voters in the district being overwhelming.
The State of Maine, too, shows its apprehen-
sion Of the fact that this is the presidential year.
The Augusta Journal says that the elections
held in the cities OF the Pine-tree State, last

all except the local candidates for the Legisla-
ture? Unless our information is Incorrect
and we received it from Mr.. Murray himself
he only voted for the Republican candidates
for the Legislature. The pledge he is now
circulating for third party pledges men not
to support or vote for party that is not dis
tinctly in favor of prohibition, not specifying
simply members of the Legislature. We say
you did not commit yourself to such plat
form in 1882, but, on the contrary, if our in
formation is reliable you did vote for and
support party directly and distinctly
opposed to prohibition. We greatly fear
your "holy horror of hypocrisy has not been
strong enough to lead you to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth as
to your vote in 1882 If this be the truth as
to your action in the campaign of 1882, it is
the Journals opinion that you are hardly in a
position that warrants you in trying to pledge
temperance Republicans against their general
ticket in 1884

Monday, present an unbrol1en chain of Repub
lican victories, the greatest and most complete
for many years. Portland, Lewiston, Auburn
and ROckand redeemed themselves from Demo
cratic rule.
EX-SENATOR THURMAN has written letter to
a friend in Washington, in which he says he
does not wish to be considered in connection
with the presidential nomination. for he neither
expects desires it. He refers to his public
career as closed, and says his thoughts on
other things.
THE name of Prof. II. w. Wiley, formerly of
Purdue, now of the agricultural department is
mentioned in connection with the Office of Super
intendent of Public Instruction That he would
make fine candidate and capable officer goes
with the saying. 1t is proper to add that the
mention is entirely without his knowledge and
there is very little probability that he would con
sent to it if he knew it.
Mr.. n. H. JEPsoN of Washington Daviess
county, is a candidate before the Republican
convention for the office of Secretary of State.
Mr.. Jepson is Endorsed by his neighbors and
friends as thoroughly capable and trustworthy
man. good and true. and they are urging his
nomination both on the grounds of personal fit
ness and because they think that quarter of the
State should have representative on the ticket.
MIR. WINFIELD S. SILVER, who is being so
Enthusiastically pushed by his friends for the
nomination for Secretary of State, is a young
and promising attorney of Button, Wells coun-
ty. He is d fine organizer and indefatgable po-
litical worker. and is regarded as u rising man
in northern Indiana. He is representative of
the young Republicans of the State, of whom
there is an ever-increasing army. The Repub-
llcan party is the party of the young men of the
country, and d. Silver is one of the best of the
young party men of the northern part of the
State.

THE New York Graphic, Democratic, has
this to say of the political situation in the
Empire State:
''The Republicans of this State are going to
be united this year There is great show of
antagonism, one faction against the other but
there is too much at stake to permit a serious
Republican quarrel. The Democratic city of
Utica, as well as the Democratic city Of Ell
mira, has elected Republican mayor. There
is very lively fight among the Republicans
of Rochester, but they have elected their
mayor also. The same signs of Republican
union come from every portion of the State;
The Republican bygones are bygones-the old
Republican wounds are healed At the re-
cent meeting of the Republican State commit
tee in this city there was no quarreling, and
it was announced by members of both fac
lions that the old terms indicating differences
and factions had passed away. That is the
case. Whether it be with good or bad pur-
poses in view, the Republicans of this State
will pull together in November, and they are
already organizing their forces with the ma
tional contest in view

ers are required to send in their cards for him
to say whether they may be admitted, and all
the punctilios are observed II is a shame
that society will submit to these outrages;
that it will elect such officials and allow such
dangerous proceedings. Colonel Cash, mind
full of past looseness in the administration of
criminal law feels quite confident that no
harm will come to him. To him mans life
is worth no more than dogs life, and he and
his son would be much quicker to
draw and shoot human being
than peaceable, law-abiding citizens would be
to stop the career of mad steer Society in
the aggregate is made up of towards, those
indifferent and those who are vicious. The
well-to-do, law-abiding man withdraws to his
Preside, shuts the door of his CASTLE and is
content. To him the peace and safety Of those
less favorably situated are as nothing. Unless
the stain of murder is on his floors, or crime
robs him of friend, he is unmoved; the vel
fare of the hoi polloi is nothing. The pro
the administration of justice certain or uncer-
tain-it is all the same. This is dangerous
condition of society. When its saving ele
ments are drowned in selfish Indifference
baser men do their bloody work. The citizen
who does not cry cut against these wrongs in
our statutes and their administration is the
abetter of murderers, robbers and the perpe-
TRAITORS of every grade of crime. The wrong
originating in defective legislation and fos
tered by courts will be perpetuated so long as
society suffers it. If the public is willing to
have thieves and murderers turned loose upon
it, our courts will be powerless to
prevent it. 1t is marvellous that good peo
pie have suffered these wrongs so long. The
very same influence that upholds man for
killing the burglar that he discovers in his
house is sufficient to compel the immediate
and impartial trial of murderers and criminals
of every degree, There is no possible excuse
in justice for delaying the trial, conviction
and hanging of any sane man who wantonly
kills his fellow-man and is caught i'll the act,
or who confesses it. AS it is, he may even
boast of it, and the palsied hand of justice
hesitates to smite in the interest of the lives of
others. But society pays the penalty for its
apathy. New murders are plotted and carried
out, and the bloody work and the expense of
fruitless trials go on unchecked.

THE meat-ihspector ordinance should not be
passed as it stands. If it is intended to be
made effective the appointment should be
vested in the Board of Health, and then both
the Council and the people would know who
to hold responsible With an officer holding
by the Same tenure as the board, it is non
sense to expect the best service. The bane
and weakness of all municipal government is
the lack of central and direct authority and
responsibility. Beard government is bad,
and when it is a government by councils of

WILL the Democratic House Of Representa-
tiyes dare order an investigation into the cleo
ton of 1880? Democratic newspapers are
blowing themselves red in the face about the
matter, but thus far no Democratic represent
alive has had the hardihood to make a move
ment in the House to secure an inquiry. The
journal has frequently invited the most
searching scrutiny Doubtless the scope of
the investigation would be enlarged SO as to
include the campaign of 1876. Our Demo
cratic friends should not allow a single day to
elapse before they put this investigation on

A HORRIBLY brutal and disgusting dog
fight took place at Cincinnati on Sunday night,
the details of which are faithfully reproduced
in the daily papers for the qualification Of
all who are insensible enough to barbarous
cruelty to be able to read them. Here are two
paragraphs recounting the feats of the dogs,
Paddy and Spring"
paddy first got Spring by the ear and
chewed at it awhile in good shape. Both were
good wrestlers, and first one was on top and
then the other. In the first ten minutes tlrs
dogs viciously chewed at one anOther's legs,
ears and noses, and rolled and fought over
every side of the pit. neither seeming able to
keep good hold. Betting was still in Paddy's
favor All at once Spring began to develop
wonderful powers as a fighter. He obtained
good ear hold ON Paddy, and ran with him all
over the pit and got him down and thumped
him up and down and shook him and crumpled
him up in mass as if he would break him in
Suddenly a shout went up from Paddy's
friends. Springs leg hold was broken, and
Paddy had Kim by the nose. Spring was
utterly helpless. The brindle dog had his
nose in a vise-hke grip and seemed to under
stand it. The dog seemed to be endowed
clatter and such expressions as Eat his nose
off, Paddy That's a good fellow Make sau-
sage of him, Give it to him., Don't let CO.
and other encouraging words, he calmly
walked around the pit backward, leading
Spring by enose, and crunching as he went.
Once Spring whined softly, but never showed
any signs of weakening. The bones Of his
nose could be heard to crack in the powerful
jaws of his adversary, but he kept his tail ele-
Vata al and tad byra
loving master"
And so on, ad nauseam, 1t is a dis
gushing comment on the apathy of
civilized society that such inhuman
things are tolerated. There is no excuse
for allowing the participants in this
brutal sport to escape justice. The owners
and trainers of the two dogs are well known,
and their names are published in connection
with the report of the fight They should be
in the pententiary, as should also the wife of
one of the trainers, who was present on the
occasion. Snugly ensconced between two Gin
cinnati politicians, she smiled and cheered
Paddy on. She addressed him by such en-
dearing epithets as "Thats dearyp "Bite
him, baby!" EAT him up, Paddyf7 Once,
when the dogs were up in her corner, she said,
''Shal,e him, Paddy" The dog looked up at
her in a knowing way, and commenced to
shake Spring as if to shake him out Of his
hide
1t is not strange that crime goes on I'M
checked when thus encouraged. The law
abiding people of Cincinnati owe it to their
self-respect to cause the arrest of these inhu-
man wretches, and to have them properly pun
shed for their more than brutal cruelty.

Tribune explains his position with respect to
the matter especially with reference to the
statement by the journal that he did not vote
in 1882 as he is now endeavoring to commit
temperance Republicans to do in 1884. He

THE Fort Wayne Gazette, speaking of how
county expenses run up in that county, and
their effect upon property, says:
'In our own county where the good people
have been taxed for all purposes during the
past at the rate of 20 to $l.3O per 800 val
uation, during times when no public improve
ments are or have been made in the shape Of
public buildings these royal levies have all
been consumed and an additional debt of
5000 900 contracted. AT the present rate Of
extravaganza the bummers will soon own all
the property in the county and honest people
will become beggars and vagabonds in the
earth. The remedy is, vote for none but hon
est men, and vote always and ever1nore against
all ward bummers and hangers on"
