THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD. Subject to the Decision of the St. Louis Convention. WHAT HOES IT MEAN ? The President has always been taciturn, painfully so. His secrets are well kep', except when they are revealed by inves tigating committees. But the recent nom inatiens sent into the Senate hept as a secret remarkably well, and fell like a sledge hammer blow upon the whole country. What do they mean ? Edwards Pieriepont, as Minister t» England, Alphonso Taft, as Attorney General, ant! J. Donald Cameron, as Secretary of War. In this we recognize one of the boldesi *trokes of political strategy that Grant was ever known to perpetrate, ini. is shown the guiding influences of live ogled with ambitious purposes. Ee an . aliaine are enemies, not from personal encoun ters, or political feuds ; but Blaine de stroyed his hopes for the third isim. The New England Statesman avoided the vote npon the question. He destroyed the old idol of the party to build himself into popularity. He wrecked the Presiuent's I political bubbles, and tsereby brought from ihe White House an enmity which is shown in every feature of the proposed changes in the Cabinet. Blaine was the acknowledged leader on the Republican side of the House, and as he virtually voted against the third term by avoiding it, his following wheeled into line, and Grant found himself politically stranded in a briei space of time. It was the guide to'all Republicans wavering on this subject, and once the tide set in it attracted all the stragling polititical barks into its course. Grant said that this predicted his utter worthlessness as a Presidential candidate; and the smarting of chagrin arid embar rassment prompted the revenge which we now see su clearly illustrated in the pro posed Cabinet changes. Blaine Pad put the dunce cap on his head in the Repub lican school, and he must make the trans fer of this undesirable insigna to the head ofMr. Blaine. He had not long to w it, the presidential pins were set up: Messrs. Blaine, Bristow, C'onkling and Morton ; the most prominent in the alley, and the ball of influence to be cast by Gram an important one. He must throw it to strike either Blaine or Bristow, and it has already been hurled with most miraculous precision, in the nominations sent to the Senate on Tuesday last, leaving but two pins in the alley, which are C'onkling and Morton. The President had become alarmed at the increasing size of the Blaine column. Il was marching steadily on ward, and had to be checked somewhere before it arrived at Cincinnati with loo great a size to suit his taste for the figure surmounting it, and he struck out square from the shoulder with the most demor alizing bomb shell that the Blaine camp has ever received. It is evidently the intention of the Pres ident to make the three States of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio quiet the boiling of the Cincinnati cauldron. His last startling effort was a stra cgic move ment in this direction. I'ierepont, from New York, Cameron, from Pennsylvania, and last, but by no means least, Taft, of Ohio, is a combination of signal lights to be followed by the irresistible influences't offers of political managing effc that can not be matched by any movement ar ranged by opposing leaders. The move ment on the part of Grant is entirely a cunning and selfish one. It is not pro duced te benefit the party by the selection of tho best man for the high position lie himself now holds. It is with no view !o strengthing the brain capacity of his Cabi net or restoring the confidence of the British Government in our nation, by sending them from our midst a purer and abler man than Scbenck. It was none of these that prompted the stubborn, hauty, ambitious President. Tt was the burning desire for revenge upon Blaine, who had pricked his ambition, and the power being with him was ■ to nse retaliation, he has done so with startling effect. It has brought the hair of the political leaders straight up on end, and if after the battle is over at Cincinnati and Blaine is brought out a corpse from amid the strife, his friends can well ex claim by a slight alteration of Shakspeare, "Through this the well beloved Grant Slabbed.'' _ BI YIKU AT HOME. IVe rgiin call attention to the fact, that goods of almost every kind can be pur chased in Wilmington cheaper than like articles can be bought in Philadelphia. An idea was advanced, by "one who buys in Philadelphia"—that inasmueli as whole sale stores are common there, purchasers can buy in retail stores at "first hands." This position is entirely unfounded, as the retail dealers of Philadelphia, are com pelled to buy from the same merchants and jobbers, as their brethren here. The only advantage in favor of the Philadelphia retailer, is the slight chargi of freight paid by our people. We were informed by Mr. Lichenstein, that he is prepared to sell, a real kid glove, for la dies, at seventy-live cents per pair I If any storekeeper in Philadelphia can beat that let us hear about it. This is a matter that affects evefy class of our people;— the rich family owning stores, are inter ested in sustaining home trade, ts it in sures to them better rents. True State pride, can be best evinced by helping the trade ami industry of the State. The bumptious talkers about love of Delaware, are reminded, that the hum ble citizen who makes it a point to spend every dollar of his earnings at home, does more for the advancement of the Slate, and more certainly lays the foundation of her prosperity—and hence deserves better of Delaware than the prim citizen who deems no product of the handicraft of his State, good enough for the use er adornment of his person. To our Farmers we would beg leave to offer a bit of advice. Upon the farm there is always room for improvement, as ixuch so as the mechanic finds portions of hie work euceptible of better changes, the artist iresh touches to li s painting or sketch, and the scu'ptor finer elrokes for his chisel and mallet. The farmer makes his living in ihe sweat of his lace, though rude his manner of toil, by study and practice it has beet brought to a mure expeditious usefulness in the improvements made in implements ot agriculture, and knowledge of the soil and its capacities. To them the lessons offered in the exhibition offered at Agricultural Hall in the Centennial Exhibition, would be vastly instructive. It would open to them a volume of teaching upon their avocation, that would be of more benefit than years of reading. It is spread out to the gaze in one vast exhibition, and none can see it, with out. feeling that lie has gained something. It will make suggeseions to him that will aid him in his work, and repay him well for his time and trouble. It is to the farmer that we owe the main stay of living, it is among them that we find the most honest and industrious of men, and it is to their that every facility for knowledge in their work should be given. Anil as Ike farmers of this Peninsula are celebrated lor those exemplary traits, and are alw ays ready to advance in the march of improvement, we feel gratified in being able to offer to them the suggestion that is contained in this ar ticle. The New York World has passed from under the control of Mamon Marble into the hands of Mr. W. H. Hurlbert. Mr. Marble has been closely identified with the World siuce its inception, and while he made a live, sprightly editorial writer, and exhibited a knowledge of politlei that gave the paper pre-eminence as authority upon many of the leading questions, he lacked In judgment, and was rattier narrow in many oi his views, being bound by judgments that were neither sale nor politic. In tlilb way the World has failed of a large sup port that it would otherwise have had, and instead of occupying a leading positson with other daily New York journals, bus re mained far in arrears in circulation. But under its new editorial direction, Mr. Ilurl bert, who is considered one of the ablest ed itorial writers in this country, and separa ted from many of the narrow views It had before, we are confident that it will take the leading rank in New York jonrnallsm. Now the question occurs, was the work of the Republican Convention at Dover "love's labor lost, in the face of the Presi dent's coupde'Etat in making the changes Lis cabinet? Was the fight in this city be tween Scott and Hastings the accomplish ment of a faction's triumph, and no more? Has not Dr. Prettyinan opportunity to twist his fingers in an unpleasant manner at his antagonists who opposed him because he was a Bristow man, and has not the Com mtrrial room for joy in the discomfiture that its enemies must feel in this sudden reversal of the wheel? Truly the party proposes and Grant disposes, and the Blue Hen's Chickens will feel like tUe needle the haystac'C^st the Cincinnati Convention. With to-day occurs the anniversary Queen Victoria's birthday, which will appropriately celebrated by the English residents of this city and throughout the country. In England there will be demon strations of a marked character. It seem* almost as Impossible to cheat a mao out of his drink, as it is to cheat the devil out of his dues. There is an under lying sympathy opposite to all objections to intemperance, with a man who is accus tomed to his daily toddy. In New York the law against selling liquor on Sunday, known as the excise law, has been rigidly enforced, and nearly a thousand dealers made to suffer the penalty of its violation. But the fluid Is willingly served lg the drinkers room, and bis palate is either tickled or burned according to the strength of the article, without fear of molestation from the law. This is a sympathy com mendable in the law, and justice must be blind of an eye on the side that the private rooms are. Carl Schurz, the great political mag nate of the Liberal party, has committed himself. The ubiquitous reporter has fer reted him out in a Ohtcagojhotel, and ab stracted from bis great fund of knowledge that Bristow is the best man for the dcntial nomination. This is to be accepted as the flat of the Liberal party, and the New York ITirald't "great unknown," is not the man after all. The proposed charges in the President's Cabinet, clearly mirrors Grant's ideas in re gard to the Third Term business. All hope has fled. lie has no supporters, and he has cast it away as a child would a toy, that fails to amuse it any longer. Blaine bursted the bubble for him, and it has evaporated entirely. But he will be revenged. Blood I Aha I _ CoNKi.ixG is the President's favorite in the Presidential race, and it is upon him that he will put all his stakes, and if he fails, he will put all that is left in hie politi cal purse on the next best,which is Morton. The President has slightly altered the old cry of anything to beat Grant and made it anything to beat Blaine. Doorkeeper Fitzhugh In his epistolay effort to Texas friends, stated that he was a bigger gun than old Grant, and yet he is waiting for the house to bounce him. But are not the two, Grant and Fitzhugh, some thing alike, holding on until they are bouDced out . 1 The Middletown Transcript flies the Amer ican flag from its office window, hearing the name of Hon.
