General Grant's Position.
It Is amusing to note with what pertinacity
the attempt Is made again and again to asso
ciate the name of General Grant with the
obnoxious acts of the rrcsldent. Wo all
remember how the presence of the General
with the President during the "swinging
around the circle" excursion of last summer
was sought to be turned to political effect,
until the General, In absolute self defense, was
Obliged to declare that his presence with the
party was purely official, and had no political
slgnlflcancy whatever. Now, again we are
informed that the General was present in the
Cabinet when the President's message vetoing
the District of Columbia Franchise bill was
read, aud some of the reporters assume to
gay that he endorsed the sentiments of that
document. Evidently the supposed populailty
of General Grant Is to be lugged in to support
tlvs last exercise of the veto power.
Now the probabilities are that the presence
of the General on this last occasion had no
political signiflcancy ; but it may be as well
to say, in response to these persistent
attempts to bolster up the fatal policy of the
Executive, that the American people are not
indebted to General Grant, or to anybody
else, for their political opinions. General
Grant lias had great popularity; but why?
Simply because he had shown himself a
capable military leader, and was supposed to
be In sympathy with the loyal masses of the
people. As to the reputation of a statesman,
he never has had it. The people have loved him
for his loyalty and devotion to ihe cause of the
Union in connection with the suppression of
the Rebellion. Now if anything has been
shown with more clearness than another
throughout this whole great struggle, it is
that no man's military reputation is suffi
cient to secure his endorsement by the people,
if he be unsound upon the great principles of
liberty and justice which underlie and give
character to this mighty contest. It has been
tried over aud over again. McClellan tried
it in 1804, and although no man was personally
more popular with the army, he made a
miserable failure before the people. General
Slocum tried it in New York, and was beaten ;
General Morgan tried it in Ohio, and was
beaten ;1 Colonel Davis tried it in this State,
and was beaten ; and In not a single instance
that we now call to mind, has a military
chieftain succeeded before the people upon
the conservative platform. No matter what
his services, no matter what his distinction,
the people will repudiate him as the repre
sentative of obnoxious political sentiments.
General Grant has still great popularity with
the people ; but we advise him not to trifle
with It. If he supposes that there is any
magic charm about his name which can
change the sentiments and purposes of this
great nation In regard to the triumph of re
publican principles, he is fatally mistaken.
These are times when public men must act
with the' great moral forces inspiring the
nation, or be overwhelmed by them. Who
soever falls upon this stone shall be broken,
but upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind
him to powder.
We do not assume, In these remarks, that
General Grant has abandoned the great Union
organization and gone over to the enemy ;
but his position is equivocal, and that equivo
cal position is daily alienating from him the
hearts of the people. He owes it to himself
and to the splendid possibilities of his future,
to throw off the toils which his own enemies
aud those of his country are apparently
weaving about him. :
. 1 he United States Senator troin . Peun
. , ; ' '. svlvania.
The contest for the Republican nomination
; for United States Senator for the Keystone
State, pince the decision of the people in
October showed that whoever the caucus
' selected would be the occupant of Edgar
Cowan's .Bent, has been the most bitter of
any which have occurred in our Common
wealth for many ysars. It is a well-known
fact that the contest in our State for some
time has been between General Cameron and
Governor Cur tin. The Guelph and Ghibelline
feuds in Northern Italy are excellent types of
the bitterness evinced by each party. As
.the day for the choice drew near, the ex
citement , In the ranks of the Republican
paity grew more Intense, and culminated
yesterday in, certain threats on tbe part of the
opponents of General Cameron to bolt the
nomination should the choice fall upon that
gentleman. Last night the long-expected
event came off, and nono of our readers felt
', any pur prise at the news that Simon Cameon
was the successful competitor for the prize.

The friends of Messrs. Curtin, Stevens, and
Grow, bad" there been any chance of defeating
General Cameron, would have united on a
candidate. We may therefore consider the
opposition to number 87, while Cameron had
40, or a majority of nine. Five votes'would,
therefore, have changed the result. The re
sponsibility of tbe selection rests on five men,
and to Philadelphia belongs the credit or dis
credit of making Cameron Senator. The re
presentatives from our city who voted for that
gentleman were Messrs. Connell and Rldg
wy, In the Senate, and DeDTavcn.Donohugh,
Freeborn, Ghegan, Kerns, Maiks, Subers, and
Worrell, In the House. The rest of our dele
gates supported Curtin. While the result
will not cause surprise, the details of the vote
will astonish many. Having heard so much of
Mr. Stevens' chances, the people had grown to
believe (that he possessed considerable
strength; and the fact that Mr. Grow and he
had almost an equal number, is an unexpected
revelation to those who do not know the
hollowness of an assumed legislative strength
However, after a fierce fight, Mr. Cameron
has received the Republican nomination.
Mr. Edgar Cowan has been honored with
that of the Democracy. The contest is not
no'.v between Curtin and Cameron, or Stevens
and Cameron, but between Cameron and
Cowan. If Cameron is defeated, Cowan will
be elected. Under such circumstances, the
duty of every lover of his country is plain.
Whatever may have been his opposition to
General Cameron, and however much he may
rmve deemed that gentlemen unfitted for the
honor offered him, he is now the standard
bearer of tho Republican party, and there
can be no ground tor a moment's hesitation
between Simon Cameron and Edgar Cowan.
Every member who opposed the nominee In
caucus exercised an undoubted right, but by
going into that body he tacitly agreed to
abide by Its decision. The decision Is made,
and it is the duty of every Republican mem
ber of the Legislature to stand by the choice
of the party when the nouses go into an
election.
General Cameron may be objectionable on
personal grounds to certain portions of the
party, but on all questions of principle he Is
as true as any of his competitors, while
Edgar Cowan is both objectionable on per
sonal and political grounds. He has violated
his professions, he has abandoned his party,
he has proved a traitor to principle; and
were the issue but between him and tho bit
terest secessionist, or the most corrupt dema
gogue, we would hail the election of any
opponent as an improvement on the Senator
who now occupies the seat of Pennsylvania.
Such being our view, we bold the duty of
every member to be clear. He has shifted
the responsibility of the selection to the
shoulders of those who secured General
Cameron's nomination in the caucus. When
the Convention of the House meets, the only
blame that can be laid upon any one is that
of defeating the party candidate. Any blame
to be attached to the selection rests on the
forty-six gentlemen who made Cameron the
Republican nominee. It is clearly the duty
ot the eighty-three Republicans to stand by
the choice of the majority, regardless of all
personal antipathies.
The New Senators in the Fortieth
Congress.
The formation of the United States Senate
requires the choice of one-third of its number
by the State Legislatures every two years.
Accordingly, with the assemblage of that
body on the 5th of March will appear new
occu pants of seats ; and the intellect, if not the
politics, of the upper House will be largely
affected by the influx. A number of the
States have already elected their Senators.
Hon. James A. McDougall, Democrat, of
California, goes out, and Hon. Cornelius Cole,
for several terms member of tbe lower House,
and a consistent radical, takes his place.
Hon. L. S. Foster, of Connecticut, President
of the Senate, is succeeded by General O. S.
Ferry, a firm adherent to Republican princi
ples. He also has had considerable experi
ence as a Representative. . Missouri, so
ably represented by B. Gratz Brown, with
draws him from his seat, and yesterday
elected Hon. C. D. Drake as bis successor
Hon. Daniel Clark, of New Hampshire, has
bis place supplied by Hon. James W. Pat
terson, who was formerly Representative
from the Third District of that State. James
W. Nesmi th , Democrat, of Oregon, is succeeded
by Hon.'H. W. Corbett, with whom the
people of this section of the land are not
familiar. Vermont, selects Judge L. P.
Poland for the short term, and Hon. Justin
S. Morrill, the able Chairman of the Cora
mittee of Ways and Means of the House, for
the long term. These are the changes
already made.
There yet remain, howevor, a large number
of States which will make their choice on
Tuesday next. We will mention the names
of such gentlemen as are prominent candi
dates for the positions, and the various Com
monwealths. The term of Hon . Lyman Trum
bull, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is
about to expire, and the contest for the succes
sion is animated in Illinois. The present
candidates are Judge. Trumbull, General
John A. Logan, and Governor Oglesby. The
chances are slightly In favor of the flrst
namcd gentleman. The declination of Gov
ernor Lane, of Indiana, leaves a vacancy, and
Governor O. P. Morton has evidently the
Inside track. There are a large number of
other competitors for the post. Kansas is
divided since the death of Lane, and tor the
seat of Samuel C. Pomeroy we have Senator
Pomeroy, ex-Governor Carney, a General
Lee, and Sidney Clarke. We cannot guess
which will come out victor. Hon. Gar
rett Davis ceases to bore the Senate with
his long harangues, and it Is probable that
General L. II . Rousseau will be his successor.
Both he, Mr. Davis) and Governor Bramletts
are desirous of tho honor. The combination
of Rebels and Government officials having
made tbe Legislature of Maryland conserva
tive,1 the Hon. J. A, J, CresweU wilbe
succeeded by Governor Thomas Sivanu. la
Nevada General James W.Nye will undoubt
edly be re-elected. New Jersey has a pretty
lively contest going on between T.-Freling.
huj sen and Hon. George T. Cobb, with chances
In favor of Mr. Frellnghuyseu, the present
Incumbent f the seat made vacant by the
death of Senator Wright. In New York,
Hon. Ira Harris desires to be retained,
but the Republican caucus has seen
fit to prefer the Hon. Roscoe Conk
ling a gentleman decidedly active, but
reputed rather superficial In hrs attainments.
Ohio will In all probability return Hon. John
Sherman, tho chances of Governor J. D.
Cox being very slim. In our own State the
fight has been between Cameron, Ste
vens, and Curtin, but has been ended
by the success ot General Cameron. A
seat from Wisconsin, at present filled by non.
T. O. Howe, will also be filled before the
assembling of the new Congress. Such are
the probable changes which will alter the
complexion of the upper House. Taken
altogether, we think the body will not. de
generate under tho additions' to be made on
the 5th of March.
Impaitlal Suflrage In the Territotles.
Tub House of Representatives yesterday
concurred in the Senate amendments to the
bill providing for impartial suffrage In the
Territories. -As passed, the bill provides that
there shall be no denial of the elective fran
chise in any of tho Territories of the United
Slates which are now, or may bo hereafter,
organized, to any citizen thereof, on account
of race, color, and previous condition of servi
tude ; and all acts and parts of acts, either of
Congress, or the Legislative Assemblies of
said Territories, inconsistent with the provi
sions of this act, areheieby declared null and
void.
We fear that there Is too much real demo
cracy about this bill to secure the President's
signature to it. , It will pass, however, despite
a veto, and the rule of impartial justice
throughout the Territories of the United
States will thus be established.
An Appeal to Humanity.
Tub Macedonian voice comes to us from the
South, which should not fall unheeded upon
Christian ears. Evidences not to be doubted
all unite to convince us that, in this civilized,
freedom-loving country, there are thousands
ef freedmen who are positively freezing to
death for want of clothing. The association
composed of ladies woo wish to supply these
"wards of the nation," and who are, as their
name Implies, designed for the "Freedmen's
Aid," are appealing to our citizens for such
articles of clothing as, while useless to them,
would be of inestimable value to the unfor
tunate negroes. Their appeal, founded on
justice and humanity, should not be neglected
by those who, being well clothed themselves,
ore too apt so forget the naked and penniless.
A Card tj Irishmen. We have received
from Nathaniel R. Harris, late member of
the Congress of the Fenian Brotherhood, a
letter, which we publish elsewhere. In it he
reiterates the views so often expressed by us,
that Mr . James Stephens is utterly unreliable,
and is at heart a traitor to any movement in
favor of the freedom of Ireland. The position
in the Brotherhood which has been held by
Mr. Harris is sufficient to command the ear
of the members of the Order.
Public Land Settlements'. The re
turns of the General Land Officcjsliow an in
creasing activity in the settlement of the
public lands under the Homestead law.
Quite a movement towards Florida on the
part of the freedmen is taking place ; and
the old Emigrant Aid Society, which assisted
in the early settlement of Kansas, is now
taking steps to locate settlers in Florida.
The New Yobk Senator. Roscoe Conk
ling was nominated for the United States
Senate by the Republican caucus at Albany
yesterday.. His chief competitors were Sena
tor Harris and Judge Davis, Mr. Greeley's
name being withdrawn before the formal
ballot.: Mr. Conkling :is a member of the
present House of Representatives, and Is a
man of considerable ability.
Tile Amendment. The Constitution J
amendment was ratified yesterday by the
New York Assembly, the Senate having- pre
viously done so. It was also ratified by the
upper House of tbe Illinois Legislature, and
by the lower Tlouse of the Kansas Legisla
ture. There is little or no doubt of its ratifi
cation by three-fourths of the States.
TriE bill providing for the assembling of
the Fortieth, aud each succeeding Congress,
on the 4th of March of the year on which
the Congressional term of office commences,
has passed both branches of Congress. It is
said that the President will sign this bill.
Adulterations of Food. E'o An attempt has
been jiiade, n Euglanci, to Introduce some fea
tures of the French system ot police. One,
nuiuu iiiui-u mvor, 13 to compel a person
cut ebt uiiultpratiDg food or giving false eitztit
