WnA MaIIeck Il TraifArY

An interview with General Lew Wallace
appears in yesterdays Cincinnati Conn
m@cidl- Gazette, in which he uses the fol-
lowing language:
General Grant, in his report of 1865,
says emphatically that the battle of Mono
cacy did save Washington. ! have no
hesitancy in saying that 1t saved the Capt.
tai, contrary to the wishes of Ialleck. !
am convinced that at that time, out of
jealousy of Grant, IIalleck was willing to
betray his country, and permit Washing
ton to be captured, knowing that such a
thing would destroy Grant Until Grant
was called East IIalleck had been com
mandeI-in-chief. lie was then let down
with the title Of Chief of Staff but no.
body has ever been able TO discover whose
staff he was chief Of. IL was this that
made him envious Of Grant.n

Says the st. John New Brunswicl) Tole-
graph: "Parties at Jacquet River and Carlo
saw the burning ship, or the phantom ship,
along the Ba Chaleur, between those sta
tions, on recent night. 1t appeared to
come very close to the shore. The phantom
is an exact representation of full-sized
ship on fire. Whether it results from a
mirage or some other cause is not known,
but IL is most generally seen after storms.n

THE ST. Louis Gl0Jo- Democrat sug-
gests that thistles are beginning to grow
where the Administration had looked
for Gigs. We beg pardon; it's not
thistles, but sod corn. Our Western
contemporary will understand the
metaphor when we state thai this is
the prairie breaking season of the new
Administration. In the natural order
of events it will shortly be producing
the best and biggest kind Of food crops
all round; or if such is not the case,
the Administration will have nobody
but itself to blame for it. There's
nothing really alarmingin the fact that
some of its breaking teams are inclined
TO be balSy.

The joint resolution of Senator
Eustis, to the effect that the $40 900 900
in bonds recently called by Secretary
Manning be paid in silver, created a
slight ripple in American securities at
London, but reaction speedily fol-
lowed. As soon as il was seen that no
great catastrophe was likely to occur
on this side of the water by reason of
the Louisiana Senator's resolution all
became serene again. 1t will take a
good deal more than a proposition to
pay the bonds in coin to create panic.

CERTAIN INCIDENTS in the organizl-

go TO show that ex-senator Conkling's
influence is still very great among the
Republicans of his State, and ii is
rumorcd that Mr.. Conliling's friends
have persuaded him to reconsider his
expressed determination TO retire per-
manently from politics and again enter
that field on which for many years he
played such prominent part. This
would imply that he will again become
a candidate for the United States Sen
ate and endeavor to succeed Senator
Warner Miller, whose term will expire
on the 4th of March, 1887. All Of
which may be true, but from what Mr.,
Conkliug has repeatedly said about the

harassments of Senator and the com.

TIE Presidential Succession bill will
not glide through the House so grace
fully as IT did through the Senate, and
morc's the pity, for its debate will open
up the possibility of a ponderous waste
of time. The objection to Mr. Hoar's
bill is that it places in the line of sue
cession to the highest Office in the gift
of the people q man in whose selection
the people have had no voice. Mr..
Randalls idea is TO reconvene the Elcc-
toral College in case of the death of
the President and elect anew. Both
plans have their merits, but are widely
apart, so much so that il may be posi-
bic for the Republicans in the House
