' COIvKKU)TUL CANDIDATES GRANT hriniy fnrf.li in anv department Of life and to forecast American polfcicslSvcm fEepubltean newspapers, se a month, with any measure or certain ty, is one of the impossible things. As to the matter of presidential candi dates for 1880, for instance : two months ago Mr. Thurman "might have stood against the world" for the Democratic nomination, and Mr. Tilden was the lowest man on the list Now, Mr. Til den is just as unmistakably ahead as he was behind and Mr. Thurman ahead eight weeks ago. In view of the change $ in positions here cited a change "pro duced by no appreciable circumstance or ser!e3 of circumstances if M idle Xor any one to undertake to say who will be the nominee, a year hence, of either the Democratic or Republican party I far President. For all that it is interesting to specu late upon the possibilities and proba bilites of the t ttturef and for purposes of speculation the case of "our friends the enemy" presents even a more inter esting field than our own, compassed about with doubts and uncertainties' even though we undeniably are. In calculating our own chances, too, we musts needs calculate the -chances off the enemy; and it becomes interesting just now to weighf as near as may be,' the relative strength of those who are: the most likely to oppose our candidate for the presidency in phe ..great conflict of parties which is to be waged next year. To-day by all odds the most prominent man in the Republican par ty in this connection is Gen. Grant; What gives him Ms" popularity, if popu larity it be? This is aguestion to which no satisfactory answer can he rendered, and very substantial reasons must be adduced before" the next Republican convention, in order to secure the nom ination of any favorite. The "Grant boom" has been punctured a good deal, of late, uid it has been found wofully hollow. 'The howl' for his' re-nomination was raised not more than a year ago, and for awhile it promised to be come general ; but the thinking men of the party have had time since then to get in their word of warning, and a no ticable check has been put upon the movement.' The history of his previ ous administrations has been gone over in detail ; it has been shown that under h's guidance the Republican party, from a mighty organization has dwindled in to a pitiful minority under , the deter mined onslaughts of a party numeri cally weak, in the beginning and with out any of the prestige which increased the popular strength of the Republican party after the war. The record of President Grant's administrations, and the reverses of fortunes which overtook the party under his leadership will plead eloquently against him next year when all the chances begin to be weighed anoV all theyelements of strength of different men begin to he taken into account -These chances are being carefully weighed even now within the party , and in proof of this we quote from the ! Philadelphia Evening Telegram, astrong Republican newspaper, which in its is sue of Jhe ljth inst.jSpeaks as follows: It is one of the possibilities of next year that General Grant may be nomi nated Republican candidate for the presidency in 1880, but that he will be eleeted president in 1880 is beyond the pale of possibility. The people of this country are not fools, nor are they of de fective memory. There i j nothing in ;iis""iecOrd"T)f President to "commend him to the favor of intelligent, patriotic men. The most gigantic failure of the 1 Presidential history of (he " republic f is that of President Grant a failure so dire iluuVhe himself, in his last message (lehtered to 'Congress oA the 5th of De cember, 1876, in a manner that would have been pathetic had it not leen io weak, apologized for it and asked for it the considerate forbearance of his countrymen. That which he confessed his countrymen already knew, and of them all none knew it better than the political Header who then used and abused Trim, and who' are how schem ing to re-elect him to the place that?he so signally dishonored. t After the above, the Telegram copies from Harper's Weekly showing hbw Republican majorities declined between' 1868 and 876,; and charging Gen. Grant with the responsibility ; and continuing to speak of him, the Telegram says: He wasthe.representative of centrali zation ; he (embodied, as no other Presi dent ever did, the idea of personal rule ; his methods of civil government were according to the military plan ; he had an iron will and a despotic hold on his WhtftiB there j fcisilatjp experience to make him different now? He was a gift-taker; the crony of bribe-takers and embezzlers; he filled the offices with bad) men, who plundered the treasury, rant and left without nunish- mentf he stepped between Justice and her victims with whole reams of par dons; political corruption asserted, it- seii irom tne tiae water in the custom house to the secretarv in th wiittA House. These are not mere allegations : they:ae therrecprd of hi administra- round hand, that all , the world kn6wa it Mr. Curtis says : . "is it wise to make a nomtoaOoa which Would ?!1'h0 Party ronstantlT to explain and defend, and to anue that the candidate Had undouMedS changed hi views of many men and hftiMn5 tnat there was no reason to suppose that what been would belaKalnr' . ;,. What Is it except the tierkntiftni Vh eighty thonsand-office-hoklers-and their niiBiicumen, wno want the corrupt old times back again, that brought General Grants name again before the people as a candidate for th Praia n i . t there in all this vast country of 40,6oO, 000 of people no other, better man than he ; has the Republic so degenerated that we must break down our law of custom in order to give a third term to one who disgraced the land all the world uvw ioc wo , terms t is the .breed of statesmen extinct that one cannot be found tobe a candidate for Chief Mag istrate of the Republic : ia.tri xt&. eau : party so poor in patriola and men cf honor and -wisdom that it can find no - urant?

The Telegram does not occupy its ground alone, either.' Not only does it, and Harper's Weekly, and The Nation, and the other or trie more rranK ana aoie or see what fate Is in store for their party in the event of the re-nomination of Grant, but the same thing is seen with equal clearness by the more honest and more astute leaders, who desire to see their party prosper but do not desire to rob the government of anything. The clamor for Grant cannot bring about his re nomination in the' face of such facts as those above presented, or even if it could all of hs eighty? thousand office holders, disreputable associates, hang-s ers-on contractors, jobbers, subsidy irines. whiskey rings, district, Indian anq army rings, with all His relatives and connections, would not be able to effect his election. This may be put down with as much certainty as can anything in politics. It neejl not be said that tear on our part that Grant will be re-nominated is the ground work of this argument, Such is not the case. It there is any one national man in the Republican party whom the Democrats can defeat more easily than any other, that man is Grant. We are free to say, however, that we would view even the probability of his re-election to the presidency with no small degree of concern. He has trampled upon the liberty of the people too often to admit of his being forgot ten, and we are not able to understand how any true patriot can contemplate even the possibility of another term of Grantism without feelings of alarm for the safety of the republic Surely he who can has studied his country's history for the past ten years, to very little pur pose indeed. HARD TO PLEASE. "It is impossible," truthfully says the tVugusta Chronicle and Constitution alist, "to please the Republicans. When ex-Confederate soldiers were given pet ty offices under Congress, they declared that the Democrats were proscribing men who fought for the Union; but when the Democratic House voted to put Gen. Shields, a maimed Federal veteran, upon the retired list of the army, with the rank and pay of a brig adier-general, the Republican Senate rejected and defeated the measure Ever since the Democrats have had majority in the House they have been charged with entertaining the deepest hostility to those who bore arms against the South during the war, yet when the 'rebel brigadiers' passed a bill for the payment to Union soldiers ofarrear ages of pensions, they were denounced as raiding "on and robbing the national treasury, and the President was urged to- veto the measure. A few (lays since these same rebel brigadiers passed an amendment to one of the appropriation bills requiring the secretary of the treasury to use the $10,000,000 whifch was set aside several years ago to re deem fractional paper currency to pay arrears or pensions, and now they are abused as inflationists who wish to ruin the credit of the government which they hate. Our Republican friends are mrd to please. Mating Out of Their Circles. Matrimonially speaking the country is distinguishing itself. Only about three weeks ago a daughter of an ex-Gover nor of Connecticut ran away with and married her father' coachman ; a week later a young lady of the best society of Newyprk orie of the ; upper erust, a regular patrician rah off and mar ried a street car driver; and only last Friday nigh Stephen Longfellow, a nephew of th pot, eloped with and took to wife Ann J. Hennessv. of Charlestown,Mass,an Irish sales-girl in a dry goods store poor, uneducated. jiot remarkably good lopping and rather sLupiu wiinai. jyu men are Dorn iree and equal" we are told, and the bon ton parents of way ward sons and daughters may extract such consolation as they can from this axiom of Mr. Jefferson when their w. s's and d's go on on these fools' errands. The New York Tribune commends the negro exodus, but frankly acknow ledges that the emigranta may npt, fare as eUHn thefr rieW homes asUbey anticipate, and says: "Some of the colored emigrants may" find employ ment on farms, but few Kansas farm ers can undertake to support a whole family to get the labor of one man."

He said- that . rather than have the army used as it naa . oeen and as it might be again, ne would ravor its abolition and establish a militia. Dawes followed opposition to the pending measure. During his speech he yielded to Mr. Butler, of South Caro lina, who stated that his colleague, Wade Hampton, was present, and ready to take his seat. Mr. Hampton, on crutches, was led forward by Mr. Butler and sworn in by the iresident pro tem Mr. Thurman, taking the modified oath. House. Under the call of commit tees this morning Stephens, of Georgia, chairman of the committee on coinage, weights and measures, reported a bill for the interchange of subsidiary coin for legal tender money in sums of ten dollars and multiples thereof, and mak ing such coin legal tender in all sums not exceeding twenty dollars.; The re- Eort of the committee , states that the ill is based upon petitions referred to the committee. Conger, of Michigan, raised the point of order that no bill on the subject had been referred to the committee, and that therefore the committee had no right to make a report. , I The House, in committee af the whole, resumed the consideration of the legis lative appropriation bill.

The debate was com menced. Lewis, of Alabama, made a legal ar gument against the election flaws and denied that the South was "solid" for any illegal or unconstitutional purpose or out of antagonism to the North. Sanford, of Alabama, also argued upon the necessity and justice of re pealing the jurors' test oath and modi fying the supervisors of elections law. ARGUMENT IN THE SPOFFORD-KELLOGG CASE. The Senate committee on ; privileges and elections to-day commenced the hearing of argument in the Spofford Kellogg case, upon the question whether or not the action of the Senate hitherto has made the controversy, res adiudh- cata.

The secretary of the treasury, in a circular issued to-day, offers one-half of one per cent above par and accrued interest to date of subscription, $150, 000,000 of the 4 per cent, funded loan of the United States, the proceeds to be applied to the redemption of the Uni ted States 10-40 bonds. In addition to this amount, $44,56600 of these bonds, being the residue of the sum needed to redeem the 10-40 bonds, will be reserv ed for the conversion of ten. dollars re funding certificates.

The people of JTew Orleans have at last become alarmed at the danger of a fresh outbreak of yellow fever, and have formed an " Auxiliary Sanitary Association" to encourage and support the authorities in the work of purify ing tne city. It is better late than nev er, and perhaps if the citizens press nard on tne association, and tne asso ciation pushes the shiftless city officials vigorously, the invitation held out to Yellow Jack by the reeking streets and gutters may be made a little less urgent betore tne not weather comes. Witn a mighty river flowing past her front door, so to speak, and a salt water sea washing her back yard, there is no rea son, except her own negligence, why New Orleans is not one of the cleanest cities in the world.
