The attack of Charles Sumner on
Ulysses S. Grant as a man and poll
tician, and President, is the most ter
rible denunciation that was ever pro-
nounced by one member of a party
against another member.


The most cutting part Of tho philippe
is that it is true in its allegations Of
fact-and it stands forth to-day as tho
most revolving Indictment ever made
against an American President.


Let it not be considered in a parti-
can light. Let all citizens regard it as
American citizens-for every Am erican
is disgraced by a President who is just
ly liable to such charges.


In another age; in another era of our
political existence as nation,
ton, such an attack ON q President
seeking reelection would have driven
MIN into opseuriIy ana disslavv. Bu,
the Republican party, as at present
organized, is the mere tool of Ulysses
S. Grant. Notwithstanding the truth
Of Summers indictment, Grant was
renominated at Philadelphia by the
Republican party.


Is there need of further proof of the
pernicious influence of Grant and
Grantism?


The Republican party, in the face Of
the charges and truths hurled against
him, have selected him as their candi-
date for the highest Office in the nation.

eff the editor will spend month in

the Indignation which we endure, and
be ruled over by the dregs of the hu-

well for gentlemen in New York to
pooh-pooh at results of Greeley's elec-

turn up his nose at plain victuals, but

The Returned Minister Seriously III In

Complete Recovery.


Governor Curtin arrived on Sunday last with his
family from Europe, ana went at once to
the residence of his daughters father-in-
law, Mr.. William II. Sage, a New York
lumber merchant, residing at st. Marks place,
near Brooklyn avenue, Brooklyn. The Governor
was exceedingly unwell all through the voyage
with an anection Of the stomach, amounting to a
serious case Of Inflammation OF that organ. Imme-
diately on his arrival he took to his bed and grew
rapidly worse. SO that on Wednesday his medical
attendants were forced to pronounce his case de-
cidedly dangerous. slight Improvement In his
condition was visible yesterday morning, but the
case was still considered so critical that his physi
clans forbade him to see or speak to any one but
his nurse. The Governors symptoms were more
hopeful still at eight O'Clock last evening" when the
HERALD reporter called to see him, SO that Mr.
Sage was able to express his belief that
the patient would be quite well again IN
few days. 1t is, OF course, impossible to
positively ascertain the Governors position pott-
cally, and all rumors OF that nature may be at
least regarded as premature. 1t Is known, how
ever that during the voyage hither from Liverpool
he spoke freely on the subject to some OF his Ameri
fellow passengers, declaring his decided prefer
ence for General Grant over any other candidate
and avOwing his intention to support the present
incumbent.
