There is to Ir: a change. Next November, unless all the indications ire at fault, will see the overthrow of Grant and his M diary Gov ernment. There Ss to be a char ge of policy —a change of administrat ion—a change of Congress'. A P uaoeratic Congress is com ing u-xt. Wo s.re to have a restoration of Constitutional Government. Is it worth while t-> stand any longer lamenting and com plaining about the moans and the In struments which are used to accomplish tics great result? It is evident lobe Grec- I. y u r Grant. Of the two, we much prefer Greeley. And so do tb-conventions that meet to oppose him ; they find their action inevitably .shaping Itself in favor, not against the Cincinnati ticket, if they would overthrow Grant and his party. 7'he LsGrangi Reporter says: “We prefer defeat under a Democratic, ticket to defeat under the Greeley dag.” Ex Gov. Blair, of Michigan, remarks 11 If Greeley is nominated at Baltimore, 1 will take t.hcstumpin his favor. Michigan will go for Greeley if a cordial union is es tabiish-d betvv-en the oponents ol Grant.” [From tlio Tim.-s, H irtforJ, form Senator Sumner is preparing a speech upon the tinances of the country and the financial administration of I ’resident Grant. “It will astonish the American people when delivered Should Greeley be nomi nated at Baltimore, Senator Sumner is pre pared to speak to his countrymen In favor of the election of Greeley to the Presi dency.” The New York Timm, Grant’s chief or gan, says if Greeley is elected by Demo cratic votes, “ he will be completely in the hands of the Democrats.’’ Mr. Cassius M, Clay, of Kentucky, in the course of his speech at Springfield, two weeks ago, declared as follows : “That, Grant had violated in spirit, if not in letter, every principle of the Consti tution. He made war in violation of law; he surrounded himself with a military family; h* stole land from the poor colored nun of San Domingo, and threatened that weak nation if it should resist; had tam pered with the Judiciary, having made ap pointmenls for the purposeof affecting the decision of the Supreme Court. lie also made an appeal against centralization, showed the danger of a strong Govern ment,, and declared that what was wanted was not a strong Government, but a strong pe< ipie.” On the same occasion tonf/ John Went worth, as lie was railed when a member of Congress, made some pointed and stinging remarks about General Grant He said that, in the old country, when revolutions occur, the King always semis his children abroad JGreat laughter.] Grant had sent most of his children across the sea, and now lie had gone and settled down on the shore himself. [Cheers | He was glad the innocent children were out of harm’s way in this great ground swell of the Republic. Greeley, 1m said, was sure to be nominated at Baltimore, and the d< cree of a Democratic Convention was al ways final. The New York Sun relates a conversa tion between a reporter of that paper and one James L. Richardson, (colored) of Sc riven county, Ga., who went North to express to Mr. Greeley the high esteem and veneration in which he Is held by those who were once slaves : Richardson said that the colored people were willing to support Dr. Greeley be cause the Grant men, carpet-baggers and office-holders have always deceived them in their promises. “ I traveled extensively through Scrivon, Efflngiiain, Burke and Bullock counties, and can assure you that the colored people in those counties will support no other man but, Dr. Greeley. “There arc always a lot of fellows going round making speeches and telling the ad vantages of re electing General Grant, We have heard that story so often that I for one don’t believe it. I return to Georgia to-morrow, an/I will take the stump for Dr Greeley myself. !f (he four counties i can speak for are any indication of the senti ments of the people In other States, Gene ral Grant is a badly beaten candidate.” The great ado over the question of Con sequential Damages may be considered as finally settled. England has triumphed. The Grant Administration had already well night backed squarely down from its demands lx:fore the tribunal at Geneva de cided the claims for Consequential Dama ges illegitimate. (From the Courier Jouinnl. Greeley am! Seliurz. Much is said of Horace Greeley’s per sonal unfitness for the Presidency. We, ourselves, remembering bis peculiarities, have felt, and have expressed, the force of the suggestion. But, after all, may we not make a eommon psychological mistake, and attach too much import to the outside of the man ? Mr. Greeley is an odd, exceptional per son. He Is now sixty years of age. His hair Is as white as silver, but the bloom of a lad of sixteen is in his cheek. He has Ihe compressed and collected strength of a life devoted to useful pursuits, to study, to exercise, to charity, to drudging, to intel lectual work and physical work, to perfect sobriety and regularity. His mind, like his body, is vigorous and live. He is a prodigious talker, writer and farmer. He, does everything with a vim. He could en gage in a wrestling match with Schurz, who is a lithe ami active man, with a lair show of success. He can out-talk Charles Sumner, whose t/sngue is equal to a mill wheel, lie can ride with John Breckin ridge, who has been known to keep the saddle three or four days on a stretch, lie hews trees, plows, and, iu short, does the work of half a dozen ordinary men. In appearance Mr. Greeley is farm like Those who have seen Harvey Eads can form an idea of Horace Greeley—neat, old-fashion e/1, somewhat queer, bat pleasing—a figure in whom Walter He/Ht would have de lighted. There never was a more perfect antithe sis than that raised up by the Creator in Carl Schurz and Horace Greeley; and yet, striking as the contrast is, there are strong points of similitude. Schurz may be fairly ticketed as the Hero of Civilization, the Cavalier, so to say, of onr nineteenth cen tury culture, with all of the inspiration and none of the vires of the Ruperts and the Sidneys—the most brilliant,, natural representative of the morality of American political life, which we hold to l>e the lead er and progenitor of all modern political philosophy, to lie found anywhere occupy ing an active place in public affairs. If Schurz de|K*uded upon his talents as a poli tician for success he would be a failure He has succeeded in spite of his simplicity as a contriver, and because of his extraor dinary power as a leader His is immeas urably the 1/est Intellect that lias appeared in this country since th/- death of Calhoun, whom lie resembles in many points, but whom he surpasses in breadth of culture ami knowledge of the world. Calhoun had a superb understanding, but he was a pro vincial. Bchurz has a superb understand ing, and is a nationalist. Schurz really unites to t ie patriotism of Webster—-with out Webster’s short-comings— the logical mind and purity of character which made Calhoun s> powerful in spite of Calhoun's limited horizon. In fine, Schurz is the leader—earnest, sympathetic, self-poised, self-denying, sincere, straight-forward, brave, unpretentious, reliable, large head ed and large-hearted. May it not be, to come back to onr mut ton, which, in Mr. Greeley’s case, is no sheep, that wo are falling into the error of ascribing to Mr. Greeley’s -personal oddi ties, which, after all, are most amiable and admirable, too much weight, and, by so doing, missing his real, intellectual charac teristics? He is the liest posted politician la America. He has for thirty years ad ministered a great daily newspapy—a mimic Government within itself—with ex traor/fmary practical success He is a model, practical farmer, and makes his m nltl farm yield him a handsome revenue, in all his worldly gear he is success. Mr. Buchanan made us a very bad President. Yet Mr. Bucliai.an was an educated public tnau ; a pattern statesman ; as perfect a piece of political marble as Charles Francis Adams ; having served as a Senator, as a member of a Cabinet, as a foreign embas sador. May not Mr. Greeley—who is not our ideal of what a President ought to be iu his outer man—prove a contradicthffi to all our worldly notions? Well, well, we!!. We mean to take our chance of him, anyhow, lie is an able man. He is an honest man. lie is a good man. He may be cranky—he may be curious, ac cording to our preconception. Who knows ? We do know that Grant is an iron hearted, wooden-headed nutmeg, warranted to kill; we know that he is obstinate ami i>3raiino niotfS; we know that he is a good fellow to his friends, with a bad faculty for choosing a bad set of friends, ami a bad fellow to his enemies, who are of our best people. 80, feeling towards Horace Geeelejr downright affection, not unmingled with the fear of the hoy that didn’t know what confounded notion the old man might take in his head, oni V lie was sure “ the obi man Would nei! h er lie nor steal,” we take Horace Greeley, ami that hopefully, with a distinct and un controllable belief that be will give us a Cabinet unsurpassed in our political annals, and an administration which will contra dict all the fears of those who reason not by Horace Greeley's inner self, but. draw their inferences from his outward and visi ble man, which. —to say truth—is merely that of a simple, cleanly, country gentle man. Greeley, on the other hand, is a sentinien lal ascetic —a product of that Scotch-Irish creativeness which has peopled our histo ry and our literature with oddity and with power; a strong man ; a moral man ; a shrewd man, abounding in mother wit, in tnilive perceptions, self will—a natural, honest demogogue in the original and com pllmeutary sense when (he demagogue was the true representative of the people. Horace Greeley reflects the mediocre aver age of the American sentiment more accu rately than any living man, ami this will account, for the rallying of the people against the politicians. It is a good sign. Put Greeley in the White House; make Carl Schurz Wecrel i, i\ of State, ami what more do you want? Or put Greeley in the White House and leave Pari Schurz in the Senate, backed by the young impulse of the country, ami you have an ideal placement of public affairs full of promise One thing isecrf.aiu The rank /fill par tyism of by gone times receives the deepest, ol gashes from the ascendancy of that Liberalism which, defying antecedents ami prejudices, takes Horace Greeley as its sign and leader The South cares nothing about party titles and records It looks to its own emancipation—moral not less than legal. It seeks relief. It seeks association. It seeks principles, not men or measures, as the foundation of its future fabric It goes back to Jeffers* m -a thorough libera! and reformer—-and takes its new depai lure from the founder of <>ur Democracy Bo we uot. too critical about minor points, about dead issues.

This soldier man of America will not do for President ; so the people are now going to t ry one of the best workingmen of America, and a man who has never made a single failure in his life except one, and that was when he tried to make a Republican President out of a pig headed soldier. The supremacy of the civil over the military authority is a.plank in the Liberal platform. There is a sad signifi cance in the fact that this plank lias to be inserted in a Republican platform at this time; but, what, is worse, it has to be re established asa living principle in America Four years more of U S Grant will cstab lish the supremacy of t.he military over the civil authority as a permanent principle in this country. The Government just now is an anomoly, <r. as a friend of mine says, a promiscuous Government, it is half shoddy, half military—a cross between the swindler and the trooper. Since the day of “Old King Cole, that merry old soul,” there has been no such burlesque regal household as the one in Washington now. West Point cadet :, with commissions in their pockets, are Presidential lackeys, and Generals of the United States army are gentlemen ushers to wait upon the orders of the late Galena tanner This royal me nagerie will all disappear when Grech y comes. The sight of the old white hat quietly crossing the threshold will put the whole military array to instant, flight The White House will resume again its old time character, and become the dignified residence of a plain Republican President and his modest household. Horace Greeley will --/Mill the soldiers to do soldiers’ work, and not the work of lackeys an l ushers in Washington, and bailiffs and detectives in the .South. The bay/,nets will be relegated to the Rocky Mountains to watch Indians and protect settlers, instead of watching Southern Democrats and protecting cariiel baggers.

Washington, June :JO. —lt appears from an official statement just prepared at the Office of Internal Revenue that on the first of May the quantity of spirits in bond was eight millions six hundred and seventy two thousand four hundred ami seventeen gallons. The number of distilleries run ning June 29th was two hundred and fifteen, with a daily capacity of two hundred and seventeen thousand six hundred and eighty-two gallons. The decrease in the number of distilleries since the first of June is twenty, while the increase in the capaci ty of those in operation is nine thousand eight, hundred and sixty gallons. The de crease pertains to small establishments. The increase of production is accounted for from the fact that the tax is now sixty one cents, but. on and after the first of A u gust, by the new law, it will be seventy cents. It, is probable, judging by the in formation revolved, that there will be a still further increase of mamifacf tire, so as to till the bonded warehouses between now and the first of August.
