THE CIRCULATION OF THE MORN ING STAR IS LARGER THAN THAT Of ANT OTHER DALLY NE WSTAPER PUB LISHED IN NORTH CAROLINA. ' ' - POLITICAL NOTES. ; J ; . Possible candidates, upoa the Radical 'Presidential ticket . are - canvassed very freely by leading .Republican journals. A , month ago the prevailing Radical scnti- ment was .obviously in favor .of a second trial of Grant, despite, the reproach and contempt into which he has long since fallen. - . ' The New Hampshire election involving an emphatic repudiation of Grant, and his administration, audi the numerous enrai ties which the President has recently in ; curred, have. measurably '.diminished ihe sentiment in fa vor.of Grant. Colfax, Morv ton,' Butler, Logan" and Blaine arc the . names, now most freely discussed (in con nection with the choice of the Republican nominating convention.' The , New York Bun in pursuit ot a new and startling sen sation, proclaims Charles Sumner as a pro ; per Presidential candidate for the Democra cy. ' When such a consummation shall be reached, we may indeed,, expect a renewal of-ihe'age of miracles. ; ; y v : The prospects of Logan as the Republi can candidate for" the Presidency are con sidered to be greatly aided by his posi tion as Commander-in-Chief of that mam - moth humbug, the "Grand -Army of the . ..Republic.' - Next td Butler, Logan is the foremost champion of cheap "loilty." ! He is a forcible speaker of the blatant, gasco nading sort, and has a considerable amount of rude vigor and, demagogical tact. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune thinks that Logan is now Grant's most formidable competitor. Such being the fact, Logan is of course at - daggers points with the President, t The Embarrassing .occurrences at West Pointare still- discussed . .with . interest in political circles : in Washington. The .House of Representatives ' ordered the Secretaiy of War to convene a court of inquiry, which the Secretary declined do ing, as the law only allows the President " to order a court. Now, Vthe President," says the Tribune's correspondent, "is un- . derstood to have said that the resolutions ' of the House were of no more consequence than the doings of a town-meeting," : and refuses to, take, any; action. . This mulish conduct, xoupled with the insulting re mark, provokes wrath. Says the same Tribune correspondent r ' ; f " It was certainly the duty either of the President, Secretary: of .War, General-in-ChiefV Superintendent of the Academy or some' Other officer or official, to order an investigation xand bring to justice the cadets who wilfully violated the articles of.war and' teJrules;of the Academy and it appears to be ", equally certain" that the person upon whom. this duty devolved has failed to perform it, without any ap parent cause iorhe neglect." u j Ifi;tho rveryij troop0s.of f the household speak in this irreverent manner of1 the chief, what may not strangers be expected ,to say ! . But the President has a rough side to his own- tongue,' ras is shown by his ; putting aresolutiouol tte.House on the . gafpotmg with a t ' i A recent declaration attributed to the ; . President is,'tUati ifl theevwt.ljemo ipratic success nrthe presidential election .
