At tho conclusion of that speech, Ben. Butler and othor re publican members of tho house, passed over to tho democratic sido, shook hands with tho orator and heartily congratulated him. These men aro not in tho habit of congratulating a domocrat after ho has said anything that works injury to tho re publican party. And Just at this tlmo, It may bo observod throughout tho country that tho most zoalous partisans of Gen. Grant aro chuckling ovor Voorhocs, prais ing his ability and eulogizing his pluck Tho more zealous a man is for Grant, tho moro intonso is his satisfaction with tho courso of Mr. Voorhecs. This loct alono is proof sufficient that Mr. Voorhees is not the friend of anti-Grant men. It Is good policy to do tho thing your enomy most desires you should not do.

General Cochran, Ethan Al Ion, Theodoro Tilton, L. E. Roavis, of tit Louis, and several of tho Llboral Stato Committee, called on Mr. Greoloy and spent somo timo in his company. As ono ol tho committco, Hon. O. II. Stovons, of Chautauqua county, passed from tho 'Tri buno' office, ho was met by tho writer, when tho following conversation took placo : "Aro you nwaro of tho causo of Mr. Giecloy resigning bis position on tbo 'Tri bune 7' " "No, 1 am not; in fact I had so many othor questions to ask him that tho fact of his resigning novor occurred to mo." "What is your opinion us to his chances of election 7" "Why simply this; If tho Democratic Convention indorse his nomiuatiun he will bo ulectod, othcrwiso it is of courso doubt ful." "If tho Democrats should not indorso him, do you supposo ho will run 7" "That I do not know, and if I did I would not wish to say so." "What offect would it baveon Mr. Groo loy if somo ono olso bosides Genoral Grant would get tno nomination airnnauoipmar ' "Oh, but ho will; ho has all tho office holders in tho country under his thumb, and at his bidding will perform any ser vico ho requires. I am personally ac quainted with Grant ; I know him liko a book, and I ulso know that if ho was suro that his running would defeat tho party ho would not glvo in an Inch, for ho is at stubborn as a canal mulo, and also rovongo ful." "From what I can understand from dlf forcnt sources, ho Is not popuhir with tho mon whom ho has appointed to olUco?'1 "That Is so; I mytolf know dozens of them who despise him, but for fear of los ing tboir places koop quiet, and aro secretly working for Mr.-Greoloy." "What does your committee propose do ing now?" "Work, of courso; organizo. Why, scarcely a day has passed for a week that from forty to fifty letters are not received from Republicans, and oven Domocrats, throughout tho country, enclosing checks for campaign purposes. Whon I was in the 'Trlbuno' offlco a few months ago I read a dispatch from .lohn C. Breckin- (From the Clinton Renter. UrtntTille, 1 1. C.,1 May 13, 187.'. Tho Idea of thorn Llborals coin' and nomlnatin' Greoloy for president I tho moro 1 think about It tno mnuuor i get, and I haven't been In nny very good humor sinco tho custom-houso investiga tion. It wasn't enough that they should go off and desert us Just whon wo'd got ovorything nicely fixed up for another four years, but thoy must go and steal tho Fathor of tho republican party and thon swear that thoy aro tho old origlnnl Dr. Townsond. Avhat, with runnin' oft with Greoloy and tho 'Trlbuno,' I'm blamed if thoy haven't kind o' cleaned tbo foundation out from under us. Tho idea of Greoloy jbein' president, any how t A sweet old president ho'd mako, with his old whlto coat, his breeches stuck In his boots nnd his cravat tied under his loft ear, instead of sportin' n military uni- lorni and brass buttons. Anu ho can t oven smoko, let alono drink whisky. The cabinet moctln's would bo as dry as a last year's bird's nest, and Bourbon county wouldn't bo represented iu tho govern ment at all. Ho don't know a bull pup from a badger, and isn't any kind of a judge of horseflesh. Tho fact is, ho hasn't got tno nrst ciomonis ot a president. 'men no nasn i got tno nrst coniounueu relation that can hold an office His sons 3 all daugbtors and his noDhows all nieces, und thoy forgot to mako him uny cousins. What would he do for a grand master of corcmonies and foreign minis ters, and other littlo family offices 7 And ho hasn't got any fathor that I know of, and tho postoffico al Covington would havo to bo closed up. and there wouldn't bo anybody to writo his biography lor tho Now York 'Lcdgor,' nnd wo d novor know whotnor ho ovor rouo a mulo in a circus. And he hasn't got any brother-in-law to help him "movo tho crops," and tho wood- bino wouldn't twlno worth u cent. And ho ain't got nny son to send olT to Europe In a govornmoiit vessel, and our navy would rot in idleness. A man that ain't got any relations ain't of uny nccount theso days. Then he's ufilictcd with "political econ omy," anu ovorybody Knows that econom ical administrations woro played out long ago. it thuros anything about these lib erals that proves that they ain't genuine republicans, it's tho fact that they go in for economy that's tho cloven hoof of tho democracy a stickin' straight out. "Why, political economy would ruin nil tho omco-lioldors in tho country In less than six months, und wo wouldn't have nny big dobt to brag about and levy taxes for. and what would wo do without any "national blessin' ?'' This economy business ia the worst foaturo in tho wholo thing. I shud der to think that such a policy should bo inaugurated. Thon no's an editor, and I'd liko to know what 'business an editor has a run nln' for olllco, anyhow 7 All lio's got to do is to work for his party, pull' littlo men into big statesmen, defend tho ollico-liold ors from tho slandorous attacks of the peo plo, print buncombo spoeches, nnd rally tho peoplo to tho polls. That ought to bo glory enough for ono man. To givo edi tors ofllco would destroy our free and in dependent press and whero would wo bo? If Groclov was elected president overv blamed editor in tho country would bo as pirin' to omco, and it brains got to bo a qualification for an office, whero would toe bo? A phllosophor for president? That's played out long ago) Wo aint olectin' them" kind of mon theso days. What's philosophy got to do with politics, I'd liko to know? This way of mixin' things would ruin, tho government to a doad cortainty. Why, tho next thing wo know they'll bo for olectin' a statesman to the presidency, nnd a askin' that a man should havo somo qualifications for fillin' an offlco. When wo ouco got started In thorn kind of notions again we'll drift right bnck to tho degenorate days of Jefferson, nnd then whero would wo bo? A nice enndidato, Grooloy is, after goin' and bailin' out Jell'. Davis, instead of waltin' for Grant to punish him for treason along with Longstreet. This act ot defeatin' tho ends of justico and cheat in' Jeff out of a fat ofllco is a sin that tho loyal American peoplo novor can forglvo. And than he's In favor of pardonii? nil them rebels that rofuso to join tho Ro- publicnn party, and allow 'cm to vote just as if it wasn't nil wo could do to hold our own as it is. And thon he's down on carpet-baggers and In favor of kickln' thorn out of ofllco and sendin' 'em back north to' fill our poor houses and jails. What's tho uso of ro storln' tlio Union if wo aint a goin' to hnvo tho offices ? What's tho uso of con quorin' tho south, if wo aint a goln' to rule it? Tho confoundod old fool, don't ho know that to lot tho rebels vote nnd to send tho enrpot-baggors homo, would slop all tlio ku-klux outrages? Why, that would bo a knockin' tho vory cornor-stono out of tho foundation of tho republican govornmont. And thon what ho knows about rarmin' would bo tho ruination of the country. He'd bo for rota tin' offices liko ho would crops, weed out tho offlco-holdors, under drawn tho sloughs of corruption, root out tho thieves, and introduce poaco in the south. Instead of tryin' to annex, San Domingo, ho'd ask congress to buy tho Ouano islandi. nnd nL- fop mi unnronria. tlon to Irrigate the plains of Colorado.
