Much has been said and written
about the olaims of the two gentlemen
whose names are prominently before
the |»oople for Sertitop gf ithe l»th
District. I have looked on the discus
sion with painful interest for one over-
towering reason. Tbe South, in I860,
was evidently afflict d with a fatal
nblepsy. When^she should haye
candrdute fllr^tMT
Presidency’hCrpi^orwas tird^Wfeml
divided between three candidates, and
a minority President was elected, who
was pledged to use all the power of
the General Government, not only to
trample down Southern rights ami
wontonly violate the Constitution, but,
in effect, to revolutionize the Govern
ing by the past there piny seem ito be
a substantial reason for this declara
tion of historians. Every lover of his
country nnipt warmly ho'pq tliafc. the
United States, with a Government as
originally founded by our revolution
ary fathers, may escape the doom of
ruin.
If it does, it must in great measure
be effected by the profound conceptions

the high and immovable standards of

they will never be warning in their
efforts to re.-tore it to its original puri

General and Mrs. Grant arrived in
England a few days before the cele
bration of Her Majesty’s birthday,
from temporary political degredation . an ,| an invitation was at once sent to
to rise again like splieii^itl planets to
the zenith of former greatness. In
the anomalous condition of political
affairs in the South, with a vast amount
of uneducated citizenship that might
be misled to the injury of all, can we
safely cut loose from tho palladium of
party organization ? * Shall individu
ality bemuffle itself with the externals
Democracy and cast out its flag to
invite the opposition to rally under it
at the hazard of dividing ihat political
power which all must acknowledge has
borne us to redemption from Radical
oppression and crime ? Have we not
recently seen the apparent disband
ment of the Republican organization in
Goori(i» tUtoCMI Oy xl
of our worst enemies at the North, that
it is a wise policy —one of dividing
conquering wul governing. Thisis
the only hope left to the Republican
them to dine witji Lord Derby at the
Foreign Office; hut, on learning that
the Ambassadors would have prece
dence, the General, with thanks, de
clined. Eventually, both he and Mrs.
Grant attended the birthday banquet
at Apsley Honse, but they did not
accept the invitation until they leirnt
they were to have the chief seats. It
certainly is difficult to see why Gen
eral Grant, who has now no official
position, should be “attended by in
aide de-camp,” and insist on royal
honors for himself and his wife; but,
as this is the case, all ought to con
form to it.

Ashbury, by invitation, “to meet

I live a hundred yi-ars I never shall
forget the spirilnelic appearance of
Mine. Mackay (net income, five mil

grace of Mile. Hutchinson. We were
all seated at the table in this immense
ha 1, decorated with French and
American flags interblendcd. We
were impatiently awaiting the soup
and the Madeira of 1825, when Gen
eral Noyes, who presided, got up
and signified by an impressive ges
ture that he wished to make a speech.
“Gentlemen and ladies,’’said Im, “I
call ujjon the Reverend Father
Hitchcock to pronounce a blessing on
these viands.”
These ’unlucky words had hardly
escajK-d the General’s li|>s, wIkjii the
Reverend Father Hitchcock in ques
tion popped up on to l*is legs, a- if
impelled by a powerful spring. With
closed eyes ami forefingers pressed
together, ho implored the Divine
blessing for a quarter of an hour,
discoursing during that lime ujioii
progress, upon civilization, upon the
brotherhood of nations, upon educa
tion, upon the Turco Russian war—
in short, upon everything except the
viands which he hud been requested
to bless. The Americans could not
conceal their astonishment at such
extraordinary eloquence from the
Reverend Father Hitchcock. The
soup, the fish were coldj; the meats,
blessed at such great length, consis
ted of one solitary boiled dish, and
the butler did uot bring on one-half
the wines announced on the carte.
Several hungry people, who had
bought tickets very dear at an agen
cy, had the had taste to demand their
money hack.
