Riverside Park, New York, has been Sc
lected as the fal resting place of General
Grant and will give much more satisfac-
ton than the first choice of Central Park
The spot decided upon by Mrs. Grant is
without doubt charming one and alto
gether suitable for the purpose. Being as
yet unfinished and unimproved, it will no
doubt be beautiful and arranged so as to
exceed the tombs of any of the presidents
The park Is narrow and irregular strip
of land lying between Riverside avenue
and the Hudson river, from Seventy second
street to One Hundred and Thirtieth street
Between tue western limit and the river.
however, passes the road bed of the Hud-
son River railway. The general width of
the park is about 500 feet, while its entire
length is some three miles. the area being
17S acres, only a portion of which has
been laid out in walks and drives, while
the rest still re aims the wild picturesque
ness OF nature.

1t is much easier to pander to the ignor-
ant prejudices of unlettered voters than to
run counter to those prejudices. This was
the lesson thoroughly learned by those
local republican leaders who undertook to
influence the colored voters 10 vote for
prohibition at the recent election. Some
of these local leaders had been so accus-
toned to successfully work upon the Gre
dulity Of the colored voters at political
elections and get them to solidly "vote de
ticket" that they imagined they were very
magnetic men and were held in high res
pect for their oracular wisdom by the COL
ored population. They were cruelty un-
deceived on Tuesday, when despite all
their 10 I'D exertions nearly every colored
voter that came to the polls walked over
to the holder of prohibition tickets,
who in this district was prominent Dem
ocrat, and so readily voted the ticket he
gave them. The republican leaders look
ed very much chagrined, as though they
did not feel near so magnetic as they
thought they felt before.

Gen. Bradley JohnsOn's Views on state
and National Politics.

Men. Bradley I. Johnson was in Washington
last week on legal business. In discussing gen
er Il and State politics, Gen. Johnson said the
people had put the democratic party In control
Of the government on The theory that puhllc
office is public trust. They appointed that
party the irus;e to execute that trust, and they
will hold it responsible for doing the duty they
set it to perform. Gen. Johnson says the dem
ocratc party is not in possession of the ma
chinery OF the government. II has not its own
agents to perform the functions OF admlnlstra-
lion la Maryland the off pes Of trust aud con-
iience ought 10 be filled at once With men who
have the respect and confidence of the demo-
cratic party Said he: Il preiec that certain
men should be selected for those places. For
instance. | would like to see Mr.. Johnson, OF
Camhrrlln !, appointed collector OF internal

From an interview with Gen McLaws,
published elsewhere, it will appear that
the late Gen. Grant, when President, was
in the beginning by no means in sympathy
with the extreme purpose OF the recon
struction laws in the matter of universal
negro suffrage in the beginning He sup
posed that the great evils which all fore
saw must result from that revolutionary
step ought to be restrained by the imposi-
ton of an educational or property qualiti-
cation, such as existed in some of the
Northern States The fact that he subse-
quently allowed himself to give his appar-
emily full approval to the Dad, but futile
scheme of negro domination, was due to
the influence of the politicians; but it is
we'll remembered that near The close of his
Presidential term, after the South became
"solid," he reiterated the same opinion re-
garding the problem of negro suffrage.

Gen. Grant and the South.

In a recent interview of a New York
Times correspondent with Gen. Lafayette
McLaws, an ex confederate officer, the fol-
lowing occurs:
''ThiS is not the only instance within my
knowledge" said Gen McLaHs, ''ofthe interest
taken by Gen Grant in the South. story

There Is something utterly hopeless a
bout the attitude Of tue rabid Prohibi-
zionist. The climax has at last been
reached in a recent deliverance of Rev
DR.. Leonard, the Prohibition candidate
for Governor of Ohio, who takes this mon
strous position: Rather than vote to
license the traffic in intoxicating drinks
would vote fo- fountain at every street.
corner, from which should flow a coatin-
uous stream of whisky free to everybody
and furnish tin cups from which all who
desired should drink their FILL" 1t is a
relief to turn from the clerical advocacy of
such doctrine to the rational ground taken
by Rev. DR.. Hatfield, leading Western
clergyman and advocate Of temperance.
He sees and states the simple fact, so gen
orally lost sight OF, that high license is
form of prohibition, and the only practi-
cable form in large centers of population,
where traffic in liquor cannot be sup
pressed. A law compelling a saloon
keeper to pay license tax of 81 900 pro-
hibits every man who caRxot raise 81 900
from keeping a saloon, and the experience
of Illinois, Missouri and other states that
have tried high license shows conclusively
that the prohibition is so effective as to
largely reduce the number of saloons, and
especially those of the worst sort DR..
Hatfield believes that stringent license
law is the only feasible method of restrict
ing the traffic, and urges friends of tenn
perance to support the system. The advo-
cacy of high license from such source is
an excellent sign.

Secretary Manning has appointed Geo.
W. Albright, of Albany, N. Y, skilled
laborer" in the sixth auditors office at an
annual salary of $1,000, and assigned him
to duty as an assistant to the chief of the
appointment division. Il is understood
that he will soon be appointed assistant
chief of the division to succeed Mr. Geo.
U. Rose, who will be reduced to fourth
class clerkship. There is question as to
the authority for such an appointment un-
der the civil-service law. It has also been
said that Albright will eventually succeed
Mr.. Higgins as chief of the appointment
division, but this has been emphatically
denied by the authorities.

A special to the New York Times from
Cincinnati says that President Cleveland
recently made judicial appointment in
Ohio in favor of which numerously signed
petitions had been filed. The President
shortly afterward received letter in
which the writer admits that he signed
the petition for the appointment merely
to get rid of the applicant, and others did
the same, knowing the man to be utterly
unfit for the place, and never supposing
for moment that he stood any show OF
getting it. To this letter President Cleve-
land is said to have written as follows un-
der date of Executive Mansion, Washing
ton 1: II have read your letter of the
Gath ult. with amazement and indignation.
There is but one mitigation to the perfdy
which your letter discloses, and that is
found in in the fact that you confess your
share in it. don't know whether you
are democrat or not but if you are, the
crime which you confess is the more un-
pardonable. The idea that this admins
tration-pledged to give the people better
government and better officers. and en-
gagged in a hand-t o-hand fight with the
bad elements of both parties--should be be-
trayed by those who ought to be worthy of
implicit trust is atrocious and such trea-
son to the people and to the party ought
to be punished by Imprisonment. Your
confession comes too late to be of imme-
diate use to the public service, and I can
only say that while this is not the first
time have been deceived and misled by
lying and treacherous misrepresentation,
you are the first one that has so frankly
owned bis grievous fault. If any comfort
is to be extracted from this assurance, you
are welcome to it."
