The philosophic Greeley has been
interviewed, recently, by reporter
of the New York Sun and discourseth
on the political situation, thusly:


There is no doubt that there is q
very widespread feeling of dissatis-
faction with the Administration among
Republicans. Myjudgement is, that
General Grant has made too many
enemies to run that he is not the
candidate that cal be elected. There
fore, it Is necessary to nominate an
other candidate and am quite ready
to consider who that candidate should
be. Time must determine that ques-
tion. Ii we do not make q new de-
parture, the Democrats are very like

"The Republican party" continu-
ed Mr. Greeley, ''bas been split up
so in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and
other sections by unwise management
that we are very likely to be beaten,
notwithstanding our large Republi-
can majority, unless we take a new
candidate. Too many persons think
there is no chance for them-that
everything has been parceled out and
divided up among a certain set. The
fact is, said Mr.. Greeley, with mel
ancholy embhasis, there is a gener-
al feeling that the Grant family is too

The following excellent extract is

when l reflect on the conduct OF

they made at the altar-how complete

their duties-how virtuous and in

as daunkards and debauchees abroad,

GRANTS GREAT CRIME IN NEW
ORLEASs.-Another Radical mag
nate has turned his back upon Grant
Theodore Tilton in the Golden Age,
gives the Government the following
back-handed slap in the face:


All accounts go to show that Gen
eral Grant reached his official arm in
to Louisiana and shamefully interfered
with her local politics. The admins
tration feels its weakness, and tries to
prop itself up by cash and cannon.


Governor Yarmouth doubts the ex-
pedicncy of renominating General
Grant in 1872. He questions whether
Grant can carry the reconstructed
States ii he should be renominated.
That is his crime And consequently
Collector Casey, the Presidents
brother-in-law. backed by retinue
of Federal officers and Federal troops,
practically broke up a convention
which, had it not been interfered with,
would have renominated Governor
Yarmouth by an overwhelming ma
jority But the cash and the cannon
of the administration carried the day.


1t is said that General Grant disap-
proves of the rash proceeding of his
friends. Why then did he not show
his displeasure by their immediate re-
-moval? The fact that they have been
continued in office without public rep
rimand, is proof that they were acting
the part assigned to them. If they are
removed now, it will be in consequence
of the storm of popular indignation
their conduct justly excites, and not
because their conduct is condemned al
the White House.

WHY CALIFORNIA WENT REPUB-

in her favor. She claims that sympa-

Haight, who refused to pardon her
Mrs. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony
have been stumping the State in her
behalf, and she assumes that they have
secured the victory. There is certain
ly logic on her side. If there is any
thing that Radicalism sympathizes
with, it is crime, but how the party
that hung Mrs. Surratt is to sympa-
thize with Mrs. Fair we do not see
unless it is upon the ground that Mrs
Surratt was innocent, and that Mrs
Fair is guilty of the crime of murder

To the Senate and House of Represen-

CARRYING of the mails and the collection
of the revenue dangerous. The proof
that such state of affairs exists in some
localities are now before the Senate.
That the power to correct these evils is
beyond the control of the State authori-
ties l do not doubt but the power of the
Executive of the United States within the
limits cf existing laws is not sufficient for

Therefore, urgently recommend such
