SBiSTvAND THE PRESIDENCY. Tlte Nation, one of the. ablest Hepub lteatrTVrtpew Irf the 'cntr'TiW le which is undoubtedly .conducted upon a higher plane than any other oi its po litical faith", has in its last issue a very strong article pointing out, frotn a Re publican standpoint, certain Reasons why Gen. Grant should not be taken up in 1880 as his party's candidate for tfie. presidency, Its view of the case woald riot suggest itself to every mind, yet, when once seen, the argujnent is irresistible; and a recurrence! to the facts which The Nation points cjut must persuade the Democratic party that the best thing that could befall it-would be the re-nomination of Grant next year by the opposition. f After a searching arraignment of the Democratic party for is unstable poli e.v, especially with reference - to the itter-of- finance,- this .jntyerfwoceeds $e fethiifortn- cf'jts rojlieHs I the ihcaniicity of its lead- itiiw, during hetast tert years, been steadily recovering its old place in the government. In 1808, three years after the war, when General Grant en tered oil the presidency, there were 03 Republicans in the Senate, and only 9 Democrats; there were 170 Republicans in the House, and only 00 Democrats. These proportions continued to change steadily during the ensuing eight years, uUtiwhfif Crriral Grant "rw tot put of office, tne House contained 107 Republi cans and 184 Democrats, and the Senate 46 Republicans and 29 Democrats. Xow the Democrats have a majority in both branches ; but the change was most sig nificaoin the lov er House, which is re newed most frequently, and therefore most faithfully reflects popular senti ment." ' ' The Notion then 'points out that this marked change was not produced by the entrance of the South iiion the scene, but shows by a table .published that the tide ran steadily against the Republican party in the Northern States during the eight years of Gen. Grant'! i rm in ist ration. Taking the States of Indiana, Illinois, Massachu setts, Michigan, New Jersey, Xew York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, this table shows that while their representation in the lower house of Congress from 1808 to 1870 was 93 Republicans to 27 Demo crat?! it was, from 1874 to 1870, "8 Re publicans to 81 Democrats. " These are very striking and instruc tive figures, and the transformation may well be characterized as remark able. What brought it about? We let Tie Nation answer: "It was the man ner in which the general government was carried on tiy general Urant and a small body of counsellors who came to be known as the 'Senatorial Group It adds that the "abuses which marked the administration of the internal af fairs of the country, and more particu larly the treasury, the .interior, and the war and navy departments, were sim ply shocking and roused the indigna tion and disgust of the country." Having traced thus far The Nations argument, we append the conclusion entire and invite to it careful attention: Now, what is the remedy which a large body of excellent Republicans propose for what they consider the great evil and danger of a Democratic majority m both branches of Congress V How do they mean to escape from the present distressing situation ? We are serious- when we say that they propose the toper's cure for his headache "a little of the hair of the dog that bit him." In other words, in order to re cover the Republican supremacy which General Grant found so overwhelming, but which had disappeared under eight years of his rule, they propose to give him another term of four jears. They say, "We cannot stand this sort of thing any longer" (i. e., the spectacle of Dem ocratic government); so they are going to vote for the man once more whose faults and indiscretions have brought it about. We do not intend to try to analyze the state of mind which makes this plan seem attractive, nor is it nec essary to gainsay all that js put forth by way of commendation of General Grant as a man or as a soldier. We are here only concerned with the probable effect of a third term of General Grant on the Republican party;' of this we must judge by the history Vf his last two terms, and juding by it we are l riven to trie following conclusions: 1. That . the effect of toreign travel on a man of his aga and stolidity and general mental equipment has proba bly been hardening rather than open ingthat is, that, it has probably strengthened his respect for money anil his confidence in his own judgment, and that he will come back substan tially unchanged, but, if changed at all, a less valuable civil administrator than he was. -. That he will find all his old friends and advisers who are still living wait ing, lor him eagerly in Washington, many of them restored to the positions which they', had lost before he went away, and - prepared witii arguments drawn from Mr. Hayes's failure, and the-revival of his own popularity, to ahovr that the kind of government he carried on was after all the best one, and the one people demanded, and that those who objected to it were dreamers and rjutumntntors. - ,T 3. That he will thereppprx commit himself anew to their hands with in creased confidence and; with tenfold greater insensibility to (Criticism than he formerly displayed, and that their audacity in jobbery and Corruption wilf be in the direct ratio of .this insensi bility. .. 4. That the state of things which will then follow will be in ntany respects worse than that wtricK i revolted the public from 1870 to 1876, 'inasmuch as it will be marked by greater contempt for hostile opinion, and that the public whose-memory, as iie see, is very fihort will forget the shortcomings of the Democrats as readily as it is now forgettingthose.of the rantites, and will express its indignation once more by increased Democratic majorities, until in 1884 the Republican party will be reduced to a worse plight than ever, and hopelessly exoladed from power. There eould hardly, in fact, be a worse sign for the future of the partv than that in it8wenty-eretltyear; after eighteen years of such power as no par ty has ever had, it should be so barren in men, should have dqne so little to bring talent and character to the front that it should not be able to produce a single civilian ta areMt from the ne cessity of giving a thirtt term to a sol dier whose want of oitfi capacity had ,. government. The argument is conclusive, and we J naveinussiiuwu o i i -Finta o nn ntnires shown, from the highest Republican authority, the entire tenability of the position which we have always main tained upon general principles, to-wit: that the Democracy has nothing to fear from Grantism. Under Grantism it has grown and flourished and become 1 strong, and Democracy is the last ele- i ment which should feel gloomy oyer anaitSmpt to revive it. It cannot win again for the reasons so clearly set forth by The Nation. The masses of the Republicans of the North, who supported Gen. Grant so heartily in 1868, and supported him again 1872, but with diminished zest, have seen the point and will not be too swift to thrust their heads into the noose again ; while so far as the South is concerned, his hosts here, which were solid in their allegiance ten years ago, have been smitten and scattered, and he cannot v.ior.i- fhA hnard south of Mason and Ul(irV.i m Dixon's line. But suppose the worst should come to the worst and Gen. Grant should be elected to a third term ; the result would undoubtedly be that which The Natio7i predicts: his admin istration, the policy of which would be dictated as in the past by the thieving gang around him, would be similar in all respects to what it was dur ing his two former terms,and by 1884 the name of Republicanism would be a stench in the nostrils of all decent men. and the party would be buried out of sight and beyond resurrection. We repeat, that the Democracy, what ever it has to fear from other sources, has nothing to fear from Grantism. Let no Democrat stand in the way of his re-nomination. Card from Capt. Xatt Atkinson. AY hen, a day or two before the ad journment of the General Assembly, Mr. Ardrey, of Mecklenburg, told Mr. Atkinson, of Buncombe, that he (Mr. Atkinson) had Yost the State more money by his talk than all his retrench ment had come to, we thought the point well taken and made bold to say so. For this we are "carded" by Mr. Atkinson, whose letter we publish in another oiliiiiiii. with this apology: that it ought to have appeared three days ago and should have so appeared had it not been mislaid. We very cheer fully give Mr. Atkinson this hearing, but must be pardoned if we dissent from his proposition that the saving to the State effected by the committee on retrenchment and leform has anything at all to do with the merits ot the orig inal question. Mr. Ardrey was not speaking, we supiose, (certainly were not)of the Legislature, or of committee thereof, but only of Mr. kinson. we any Ai- WlIERK Ont CONGRESSMEN ARE Stopping. Colonel Steele, to whose thoughtful courtesy we are indebted for mauy kindnesses in the past, has our thanks for the Congressional Re cord, n the back numbers of which since the beginning of the extra session, were received by yesterday's mail. Thus far the Record contains nothing of in terest that has not already been received by telegraph, except that its congress ional directory gives the Washington homes of all the Xorth Carolina delega tion, w hich information, for the sake of those who may visit Washington, we here transfer to our columns: Senators Ransom and Vance are at the Metro politan Hotel, while the members of the lower house are located as follows: Martin. 1222 G street, X. W.; Kitchin. ; Rus'sell, Ebbitt House; Davis, Scales and Steele. National Hotel; Armtield, at the Metropolitan, and Vance at 2SJ E street. X. AY. Congress ami the President It occurs to us that a Democratic Con gress will stultify itself if, after raising the necessity for an extra session, it abandons its declared purposes as to certain political legislation. AYe de clare the firm opinion that nothing is to be made now by concessions, or by a policy of doubt, hesitation and vacilla tion. J f the Democratic leaders did not meanvwhen they said it that the test oath and the marshal and suiervi8or laws must be repealed, they should not have sAld it. Since they have said it they should stick to it. It will not in crease public respect for the dominant party for it to retire, now from a posi tion deliberately taken on a matter of great public importance, or, what is the same thing, to set 'about to conciliate the enemy after having thrown defi ance in his teeth. We should greatly prefer to see a sweeping repeal by Con gress of the objectionable laws, as was originally-proposed; and then let the President take the responsibility. . . Election Cases Continued Complexion of tbe Convention.

Senate. A-large number of bills and memorials were presented, among them a bill by Booth authorizing the secretary of the interior to declare railroad grants for feited in certain cases. Davis, of West Virginia, introduced a joint resolution for a special commit tee to consider and report as to the best means of promoting agriculture. The Senate took up the resolution of Hoar, declaring as unconstitutional and revolutionary the Democratic pro gramme of legislation as announced by Beck at the close of the late Congress. Hoar spoke -aft some length on this sub ject, deprecating in emphatic terms the course of legislation thus prefigured, and saying that the dominant power sought "to effect by a simple process what could be done only by a change of the constitution of the United States, altering the present relations of the three departments of the government. Hotse. Harris, of Virginia, asked leave to offer a resolution directing the committee on the judiciary to inquire into facts connected with the action of Alexander Rives, Judge of the United States District Court for the AYestern District of Virginia, in interfering with the action of State judges holding State courts in accordance with the laws of Virginia. Conger objected. Cox, of Xew York, asked leave to offer a resolution for the appointment of select committees on the census, the declaration of the law relating to presi dential elections, civil service reform and the yellow fever epidemic. Conger objected, stating that he would object to the introduction of anything unless it had reference to the appropriation bills. The House then at 12:40 adjourned. Previous to casting his vote, Stephens, of Georgia, inquired if the Sjeaker was ready to announce the committees. The Speaker replied that he was not, and Stephens voted in the affirmative. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR MT'ST GO. The Senate committee on privileges and elections, by a strict party vote, to day adopted a resolution declaring Chas. H. Bell not entitled to a seat in the Senate under recent appointment of the Governor of Xew Hampshire, there being, in the judgment of the majority of the committee no such vacancy as may constitutionally be tilled by the Governor. Saulsbury and Bailey will prepare the report for presentation to the Senate on behalf of the majority, and Hoar and Cameron, of AA'isconsih, are to present in writing the views of the minority. The majority take the ground that a gubernatorial appoint ment is not valid except when a vacan cy has been created by death or other wise, after the actual election of a Sen ator by the Legislature. The minority contend that an "original vacancy" can be filled in the same manner as any othor, and allege that there are nine precedents sustaining this view and only one in the history of the Senate against it. THE TELLERS BEGINNING WORK AGAIN. The Senate select committee to in quire into the alleged frauds in the late election, Mr. Wallace, chairman, will hold a meeting to-morrow to examine w itnesses, including ex-Secretary of the Senate Gorham, on the subject of assess ments for political purposes one of the points embraced in the resolution un der which the so-called Teller commit tee, now re-organized with a Demof cratic majority, was appointed. THE NEW SENATE SECRETARY TAKES CHARGE. Col. Burch. the new secretary of the Senate, entered upon his duties to-day. Secretary Gorham turned over all the moneys and vouchers, exactly balanc ing his accounts, at the treasury yester day afternoon, and the Senate also re ceived from him immediately after Secretary Burch's election, his final re port embracing a detailed statement of the expenditures from July 1st, 1878, to date, and a full inventory of the prop erty of all descriptions under his charge. THE HOI'S E COMMITTEES, Speaker Kandall expects to be able to announce the membership of all the standing committees of the House on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. The fact that there are upwards of one hundred and forty new members in the present House, necessitates a great deal of labor on the part of the Speaker in coniplet ing the list, si 1 1 .R M A N s A .W ER. The answer of the Secretary of the Treasury to the Senate resolution call ing for a statement of the expenses in curred by United States marshals in the employment of special deputies, and for contingencies, at the elections for members of Congress hold in Novem ber last, shows that the total expendi tures for these purposes, except in the eastern district of Pennsylvania and a portion of Maryland, from which no returns have been received, was :?"-.-24!: of this sum tfi'.VWo were expended in the southern district of Xew York, and .S(i,!)4." and 8'i.lTi' in the northern and eastern districts of that State.

This "takes the rag off the bush" and winds up the present season of long trains. The following is from the editorial columns of the New YovkSnn. of Mon day. It reads like one of those Cincin nati Enquirer lies, as it probably is: The length of a pig's tail led to a mur der in Madison comity, North Carolina, last Thursday. Two farmers, named Norton and Gaither, disputed concern ing the length of the tail of a pig which they were examining. Norton gave Gaither the lie. whereupon Gaither told Norton to get ready for a deadly fight. Both men drew their revolvers almost simultaneously. Gaither was fatally wounded and Norton lost a thumb. The point as to which of the two men was right in regard to the length of the pig-0 tail remains undecided. Accident on a New York road. Elevated E:i 1- Xkw York, March 25. At noon to day, as the 12 o'clock down train fro in Harlem, on the Xew York Klevated Railroad reached Forty-Second, street, it came in collision with" an upward bound train. Both engines were ut terly wrecked, and one section of the rails was precipitated into the street below. About It) persons were more or less injured, but none fatally. A great, panic prevailed on the train and the wild est commotion ensued. It appears that a Forty-second street train had just been switched off to turn into the depot; that switch had not been closed when the down train came along, and the re sult was that the down train was switched off on the eastside track, where it collided with the upward bound train. The engines were badly damag ed, and the forward cars were knocked off their trucks. Cable from England to South Africa. London, March 25.
