CBANT-niS QUALIFICATIONS FOB
THE PRFSIDENCr—nOW mini
MR BIAS HELPED THE RADI
CALS.
, In sclec’tng Grant as their candidate forPrtsi-
■ ‘ictit the Radicals ignored everything but bis sup-
j posed availability. How tar Grant has met their
j ‘-xpretari ns, his want of generalship, his d.-stiiu-
* ion of a;l civil qualification, ami the probable t.-*-
■ ie of a canvass for President with him as the
Radical leader, are ell treated of ia the ex
tract beiow, trkeu from the New Yoik
World :
It Lap been morally certain for the last three
months that Gmerit) G ant would be the Kepubli-
cau nominee. The elections which have since ta
ken place sitow that »he party is weaker than it
was last year, ami that the reaction against it is
still iu progtess. If the Republicans who rein
forced the Democrat c party Dst year only prac-
ric d a little stratagem to secure the nomination
• f Giant, whr do they not now go back 7 It is
quite true that th-ir great losses in tho Autumn
eiec ions, alarmed the Republicans, and frightened
them iulo taking a candidate who is not connected
v- ith them by his antecedents, cares nothing for
their poiicy, and has bartered his principles for a
nomination.
They caught a‘. his supposed prestige as drown
ing men ate said to catch at straws. Has he
hooyar.ee enough to save them 1 The recent
elections demonstrate that lie is not afloat but a
weight; that the party is weaker this year with
him than it was iast year without him. Iu Now
Hampshire in spite of a strenuous canvass, they
lort part of their last year's majority. In Con
necticut, in spite of mare strenuous, nsy of des
perate exertions, they are worse beaten than they
were last year, i f General Grant has any* strength
as a candidate, where is the proof of it I What
have the Republicans gained by making him their
candidate ?
In good truth, tli-fancied prestige of General
Grant is pretty well rxplotied. He lias never be^n
popular'either with the army or the people. When
lie travel**, no crowds throng to the stations to see
him. When he appears iu public places, no cheers
break forth to testify the public enthusiasm.
Noth.ug that, he writes is read with any interest.
There is nothing even in his military career which
awakens any waiintii of personal admiration. He
lias never been in the thick of a fight; lias never
led a charge; has never chivalrously exposed his
person to dang-t; h»s never spoken words of
*y m pa thy to a wounded soldier, or sent a feeling
letter of condolence to a bereaved wife, or mother.
He never made au address to his soldiers on the
eve ofa ba'tie.
There is nothing nolilo or admirable in his
personal appear noa and bearing. How should
such a inau inspire enthusiasm ? The
most, lhat can b- said in his favor is that he w-n
important, successes by a prodigal expenditure cf ,
life. But ash-? was a very commonplace, unge-
iria! mm in civil iife before he went into the war,
so I o is very commonplace man when he shrinks
back to his natural size, now that the war is over.
Is i; any wonder that lie bungs no strength to a
Republican ticket 7—ihat nobody has followed
him into the Republican party.
Herein.it strikes us, lies the. chief significance
c.f the Connecticut election : that it proves Gen.
Grant to he a political cypher. It is needless to
concern ouiselves any further about the solidity
of his military reputation, since it is so eonclurivi -
iy demonstrated that his military reputation is
not accepted by any portion of the people as a
substitute for political principles or civil talents.
i;is character is as well understood in Connec
ticut as it is in any part of the country; the cer-
taiLty of h s being the Republican nomiueo for
President is »» fully recognized now as it will
be in any future election- There has been a con
centration of Republican influence to bolster him
up in Connecticut such us cannot take placp
win-n elcciotis are to bo held simultaneously in
all the Ufates. He is not Humiliated by the Re
publicans for liis principles, or his talents, or his
virtues, but for his supposed availability; and this
proves on trial to be of no account.
St’KSinSF..—The country-houses of Great
Britain are by no means so shaded as our own ;
and tiic most consid-rable piles of buildings such
as Eaton Hall, Blenheim, Dalkeith, and Burgh ley
House have hardly a noticeable tree within a
stone's throw of their walls. The flower-patches
and coppices of shrnbbery approach more nearly,
and fc the garden fronts of those magnificent
homes you walk through walls of blooming
shrubs. But tlie full flow of the sunshine upon
tiie window is a thing courted- Allowing for all
difference in climate, I think there may be a ques
non if we do not c-rr in this country by over much
shading. A cottage in a wood is a pietty subject
for poetry, hut it is apt to be uncomfortably damp.
And there are village streets so empowered that
scarce a ray of sunshine can play fairly upon the
roots or fronts of tbe village houses from JuDe
to October. A summer’s life under such a screen
cannot contribute to tho gtowih of roses at the
door. There is no provision against agues —
whether moral or physical—like a good flow of
sunshine.
Now !—Now !—For time is short, and death ie
near and judgment threatens ! Now ! for in et*r-
nity it will bo too late, and your very next step
may land you there The only season of which
you can be sure is now. Tho only season in
which you can work is now. Tho purpose may
not last till to-morrow ; fulfill it now. Fresh dif
ficulties will flood the channel tomorrow—
wade it now Tho chain of evil habit will bind
you more tighl!y to morrow; snap it now. Reli
gion is a work for every day; begin it now. Sin
exposes to present miseries, escape them now. A
Holiness confers present joys; seize them now
God of love entreats; be reconciled now. The
Father liom his throne invites; return now. The
Saviour from llis cross beseeches; trust Him now.
The holy Spirit is striving in your heart: yield
nom. “Behold now is the accepted time, behold
now is tho day of salvation !’’—Eev. Scxcmon

THE IlOI SEilOLD LAMP.
When suns decline and crickets sing.
And wandering mists from seaward roam,
When night no heavenly beacons bring.
Then brightest shines the star of home!
When the brown brooks, with music low,
Watch Summers die and Autumns come,
When stately golden rods must bow,
What cheer is in that light of hjpie!
When Winterstrips the shuddering trees.
And chills the wavelet's wanton foam.
When in the world's cold grasp we freeze.
How blest is then that star of home!

A Spanish artist was once employed
to paint “The Last Supper.” It was
his object to throw all the sublimity
of his art into the figure and coutfte-
nance of the Lord Jesus; but he put on
the table in the foreground some chas
ed cups, tbe workmanship of which
was exceedingly beautiful. When his
friends came to see the picture on the
easel, every one said, “What beautiful
cups!” “Ah!” said he, “I have made a
mistake; these cups divert the eyes of
the spectator from the Lord, to whom
l wished to direct the attention of the
observer.” And he forthwith took up
his brush and blotted them from the
canvas, that the strength and vigor of
the chief object might be prominently
! i * and observed.
A Freedman’s Impression of Li
beria.—A freed man who left Charles
ton, South Carolina, for Liberia a few
months ago, writes back the most
glowing accounts of matters and things
there. After stating that he never felt
free until he reached that Republic,
and that he had selected his land for
cultivation, he adds: “Of all the fruits
I found on the land my tongue is una
ble to explain, but I will give you the
name of some. First, a field of thirty
acres of cotl’ee, second, cocoa-nut trees
in any quantity; third, lemons by the
bushel; fourth, the great palm tree,
the most important and precious tree
in the country from which we get nice
oil, cabbage, butter; then the kernel,
shingles, then cord and thread, and
then, best of all, we can get wine of it
to drink. All of these we have on the
farm. Tell my brother Washington
this is the country to come to.”

The Winthrops were among the
First Families in Old as in New Eng
land. If the following lotter from
John Winthrop to his wife, together
with that wife’s response, are not
touchingly affectionate, then we are
willing that our judgment and taste
shall be impugned:
My sweet Wife.—I blesse the Lorde
fur His continued blessings upon thee
and our familye; and I thanke
thee for m “ kinde lettres: But 1
knowe not what to save for myseife :
I should mende and growe a better
husband, havinge the helpe and exam
ple of so good a wife, but I growe
still worse. I was woute heretofore,
when I was longe absent, to make
some supply with volumes of lettres;
hut I can scarce afforde thee a few
lines. Well, there is no helpe but by
enlarging thy patience, and strength
ening thy good opinion of him who
loves thee as his owne soule, and
should count it his greatest affliction
to liQe without thee: but because
thou art so deare to him, he must
choose rather to leave thee for a tyrne
than to enjoy thee: I am sorrye I
must still proloDge thy «xpect»tion,
for I cannot come forth of London till
Tuesday at soonest. The Lord blesse
and kcepe thee and all ours, and sende
us a joyfull meetiuge. So I kisse my
sweet wife, and rest thy faithful hus
band. John Winthrop.

Well might Margaret write in reply,
“ I am well persuaded of thy love, and
can see it in a few lines as in a whole
volem.” She writes the following at
a time when he has cut his hand :
Lovinge and most deare Husband:—
Now in this solytary and uncomforta
ble time of your longe absence, I
have no other means to shew inv love
but in theese pooro fruts of my pen,
with which 1 am not able to expresse
my love as I desire, but I shall en
deavor alKvaies to make my duty
knovvne to you in some measure
though not answerable to your deserts
and love. Although it pleeseth Got!
to part us for a time, I hope he will
britige us together againe, and so pro
vide that we may not be often asunder,
if it may be for our good and His glo
ry ; and now I thinko longe to hear of
thee and of your safe cominge to Lon
don. I will not looke for any longe
letters this terme because I pitty your
poore hande; if I had it here I would
make more of it than ever I did, and
bynde it up very softly lor fear of
hurting it.
A Yankee having told an English
man that he shot, on oue particular
occasion, 999 snipe, his interlocutor
asked him why he didn’t make it a
thousand at once. “No,” said he ; “it’s
not likely I’m going to tell a lie for one
snipe.” Whereupon the Englishman,
determined not to be outdone, began
to tell a story of a man having swam
from Liverpool to Boston. “Did you
see him yourself ?” “ Why, yes, of
course I did ; I was coming across and
our vessel passed him a mile out of
Boston harbor.” “Well, I’m glad ye
saw him, stranger, ’cos yer a witness
that 1 did it. That was me!”
With reference to “ short letters,”
a correspondent writes us that he has
read of an English coal merchant
writing to his agent at the colleries a
letter containing simply a to
which the agent, with equal brevity,
replied with a “ : ” The correspon
dence meant “ see my coal on.” the
answer being “ coal on.” We have
now got down to such exceedingly
short letters that Mr. Sumner’s ‘ stick,’
written to Mr. Stanton, seems almost
to be prolixity to itself.
Freemasons leave every man to en
joy his own religious and political
opinions, and regard every man’s right
to that enjoyment as sacred and ina
lienable. Free masons believe in God,
the Creator and Governor of the Uni
verse and all things therein. These
things Freemasons have ever held, and
still hold. In the speculative form of
Freemasonry it promotes universal ed
ucation, the intelligence of the masses,
discoveries, inventions, application *of
principles, labor-saving machinery,
higher inodes of thought, more and
more elevated conditions of human
progress, happiness, and employment.

Among the two millions of people

plentiful, though there are no news

Washington, April 14.—Sergeant
Bates crossed the Lung Bridge at !0
o’clock. Mr. Fldridge, Representa
tive from Wisconsin, welcomed Bates
to a speech. The weather was un
favorable, but the crowd was very
large. Botes wore a jacket anti pants
presented to him in South Carolina,
and a sash presented to him in Mont
gomery, Ala., he, also, carried a horn
cup, presented by the ladies of Vicks
burg. Miss., and his flag. His health
is excellent. Tne President met him
at the threshold of the mansion, say
ing; “all I want to do is to welcome
you and your flag ” Bates was receiv
ed and entertained at the White House
anu the nproceeded to the Metropolitan
Hotel, where he was quartered. He
thence proceeded to the Capitol where
he failed securing admittance. After
leaving the Capitol Bates proceeded
to the Washington Monument, where
E. O. Perrin, of Tennessee, spoke. He
said if Bates had carried a negro on
his shoulders from Vicksburg they
would have allowed him to place
the negro on the Goddess of Liber
ty.
The Capitol authorities are shifting
the responsibility of denying access to
Bates.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, April 14.—Sergeant
Bates arrived at 1 o’clock, and was
enthusiastically received.
In consequence ot Mr. Stanbery’s
illness the Impeachment Court ad
journed to 12 o’clock to-morrow, with
but two dissenting voices.
The House did nothing. The ad
journment will add eclat to Sergeant
Bstes’ ceremonies, who unfurls his
flag from the dome of the capitol at
2 o’clock.
After adjournment of the Court the
Senate continued in session. The House
returned to their chamber, but no quo
rum present.
It is understood that the depart
ments will be closed to-morrow in
honor of the unveiling of the Lincoln
statute.
Gen. Sherman was before the im
peachment managers to-day, who,
having power to examine witnesses
under oath without the restraints. of
court rules, elicited all the facts not
yet known to the public.
After the adjournment of the Court
the Senate occupied itself with dis
cussing the question of printing extra
copies of the trial until executive ses
sion, after which it adjourned.
Appalling Disaster—Steamboat Burn
ed on Laic Michigan-—Chicago, April
9.—An appalling disaster, which cast
a deep shadow upon Chicago, occurred
this morning about six o’clock, on
Lake Michigan, off Waukegan, about
twenty-five miles north of this port.
At that hour, the steamer Sea Bird,
running between this port o J Mani
towoc, Wisconsin, and whic. left the
latter port yesterday afternoon, about
four o’clock, with not far from one
hundred souls on board, was discover
to be on fire, and in ten minutes was

Rejoicing in God.—I will enjoy all

is even like Himself, constant and ever- J
lasting. Surely we are wise for any
thing but our souls; and not so wise
for the body as foolish for them. O,
Lord, thy payment is sure; and vrho
