THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1867. Ihe Position of General Grant. Thb premature bringing forward of General Grant's name as a candidate for the Presi dencr, bj a Bet of mercenary politicians in New York, who desire by that devloe to mo nopolize favors at his hands should he succeed, has precipitated a discussion of the General's political position, In which considerable acer bity of feeling has already been displayed, and that certainly has not, in any degree, Improved fcis ohances for the Republican nomination. It 1b quite probable that full justice is not done to the real position of General Grant in these discussions. Every man must be judged, to a certain extent, by his own standard. General Grant has never set himself np as a speech maker. Ilia reticence, so far as publio addresses are concerned, has been habitual and of long standing. It could not reasonably be expeoted, therefore, that he should mount the rostrum, and in a formal speech make known his po litical views. And yet, really, as to the great dividing line of our politics, General Grant's position has been clear and well defined. The animating principles which divide parties now are identical with those which divided them during the war. All of our issues are such as have naturally developed out of the issues involved in that struggle. It is true that some men who labored and fought with the Union or Republican party during the war have now gone over to the Democracy, but their numbers are not large, and it is they, and not the Democracy, who have changed. The Democratic leaders are the same as during the war the Pendletons, the Vallandighams, the Seymours, the Woods, the Blacks, the Clymers, etc. Their principles are the same. Now, in regard to this whole class Of politicians, their schemes, their policy, their character, General Grant's position has never been equivocal. He has always manifested for them ihe most undisguissd contempt and aversion. He sanctioned the very measures during the war which called out their most envenomed opposition, and on several occasion he has ex pressed himself as in favor of severer repres sive measures towards their acts of disloyalty than were adopted. A "Copperhead" has been General Grant's peculiar aversion. In our political contest last fall, when the Demo crats were so assiduously endeavoring to make capital out of his presence with the President during his memorable stumping tour, the General took occasion to let his position in re gard to this subject be clearly understood. As to General Grant's position upon the fundamental issues of our politics, we think, therefore, no man has any ground for doubt. Ifor do we think that recent events have afforded just cause for imputing to him any adhesion to or endorsement of President John son's policy. It is true he accepted the posi tion of Secretary of War ad interim, upon the temporary suspension of Secretary Stanton. Uut the President had, prima facie, the right of suspension under the Tenure of Office bill. General Grant could not, therefore, have pre vented the suspension. But when he relieved Secretary Stanton he took care to emphatically endorse his administration, and in such form as, under the circumstances, was a direct re flection upon the President for suspending him; for if Secretary Stanton had conducted the affairs of the War Department in the manner indicated by General Grant, then the Presi dent had no sufficient and just cause for his suspension. In the case of Sheridan's removal, we find General Grant still more openly opposing the President. He protested in writing against the removal. But the President had the power to order it, and did order it. Grant publishes the President's order, that the responsibility of the act may be fixed upon the proper party. But when it comes to giving instructions to . the new commander, General Grant then speaks in his own name, and by the authority specially conferred upon him by Congress. And what does he say f Why, his very first order is an endorsement of every offioial act done by General Sheridan, and a command to . General Thomas to continue all of General Sheridan's rders in force until speoially modified by Grant himself 1 No more emphatic or authoritative condemnation of the Presi dent's course in removing General Sheridan could be desired. No more emphatio endorse ment of Sheridan's course could have been given. The very aots which the conservatives have been condemning in General Sheridan, and which involve the essence of the whole reconstruction policy of congress, are thus publicly and officially assumed by General Grant as his own. This is the more significant as Congress, during its late session, formally endorsed General Sheridan's administration, thus drawing the line between him and the President so plainly that none oould mistake it. Grant now adds his testimony, and ranges himself alongside of Congress. This one act U worth a dozen speeches. In view of this condition of affairs, we do not think it would be wise or generous on the part of radical Republicans to withdraw their confidence from General Grant. He should be indeed fairly and impartially, and from those official acta of his which are the best indica tion of bis political views, and this should be a, without any referenoe to the coming Pre- -..ti nnniat. It is not at aU oertaln that PIUDM J I General Grant weuld consent w i mm eauui. THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, date of any party. It la not at all oertain that he would obtain the Republican nomination In any event. Indeed, we deem this whole dia cnsaljn of candidates as premature. The election is more than a year distant, and we know not what developments the next six months will witness. Why We Are Opposed to Match Games. At the commencement of the games of base ball between the Athletlo Club of this oity and their various New York rivals, we expressed a regret at the revival of these contests for championship, and characterized them as "dissipations" and tending to immorality. Several of our readers have objected to our views, and accuse ns of opposing "healthy recreation" and "out-door sports calculated to strengthen the physique of the players." Now we do not desire to be misunderstood on the subject, for the experience of the past two days has only confirmed us in our opinion already expressed. We are heartily and entirely opposed to such games as have been played this week in New York city. We are at the same time as enthusiaatio in favor of all "out door sports" as any of the members of any of the clubs in our country. We would have exercise given to our young men. We would encourage the formation of base-ball clubs, and would like to see them play often and play well. But we do not favor an excess in base-ball any more than we do in any other needed recreation. Anything, be it ever so useful and proper itself, if car ried too far becomes injurious; and base-ball is not an exoeption. Last spring we depre cated the continual demands made by clubs and employes for permission to play games two or three afternoons in the week. It is robbing the employer, and oarrying the good so far that it becomes an evil. And to day we are opposed to the match games because of the waste of time and money they occasion to the player, and be cause they are fostering a spirit of gambling that is calculated to do nothing but harm. So far as the "healthy exerolse" is concerned, there would be just as much of it, and with just as much beneficial effect, if the Athletics had stayed in Philadelphia and played their neighbors. The expense to some must be of course heavy. Kach man must ex pend no small sum, and many of them are not so situated as to warrant any such waste, while it must necessarily remove them from their business for an entire week, and thus deprive themselves or their employers of what Bhould be devoted to work. A spirit of roving and excitement is engendered, and all the good neutralized by the nervous state In which they are kept through the entire game. So much for our first ground of opposition. In the second place, it causes an immense amount of gambling betting being as essen tial to such games as bats or pitchers. The recent game in New York between the Athle tics and the Mutuals was the occasion for an immense amount of money chancing hands. It seems to be taken as a matter of course that such a contest should cause heavy wagers on the result. All the New York papers con cur in stating the sums lost and won, and the variations as the game progressed. The New York Tribune, speaking of the match, says: "The General Impression among the fraternity in this locality was that the Mutuals would be the victors in the match, ana tuose or tue oris' of tne city who are never so happy as en they can find a favorable opportunity for Investing their stamps in wagers, were not slow in offering bets on the Mutuals, even to the extent of giving tempting odds chances of which the Philadelphians, who came with their pet club, were fully as eager to avail themselves, especially when odds were offered. Probably In no match this season has there been so mucu money invested in wagers as on this contest, and hence a feature ot the close of the game was the contrast between the el am, disap pointed looks of the backers of the Mutuals and the exultant smiles of tne Philadelphians. "The totals at the close of the eighth innings were left at 18 to 14 in favor of 1'hiluJelputa, and now it was that a revulsion in the market took place, Athletic stock taking a hlirh leap to a premium position, while Mutual paper was forced to a sale at a heavy discount." Thus it will be noticed that the idea of bet ting on the result 13 held to be a rational one, and as much gambling done as is effected at the Derby, or at a Spanish bull-fight. We hold, therefore, that any sport which occasions an indulgence in the crime of gambling Is a wrong which should be prevented. While, therefore, we desire to see base-ball grow In its influence, and see all the young men en gage in it, as we consider it will, if not carried to an excess, benefit them in health, we must hold to our expressed opinion, and deem match games detrimental to business habits aud sound morality. They do no good, and only cause jealousies, require an expenditure un called for, pro mote gambling, and waste time. I Bridge over thb Missouri at Kansaj City. The telegraph announces the laying o the corner-stone for a railroad and wagon bridge across the Missouri river at Kansas City. It is to be constructed of iron, and wlu be 1400 feet in length. The river runs to-! wards the east where this bridge is to be, built. On the north side Is a level bottom, extending back several miles to the bluffs.! On the south side, the river runs close up to the bluffa, which are from 150 to 200 feet high. The channel Is on the south side, and a rock bottom extends two-thirds of the way across the river. Kansas City is now the point of concentration for several important lines of railroad, and is one of the most promising and nourishing young cities of the West. California Politics The triangular fight taking place in California threatens to endan ger the success of the radioal tloket. There are two Republican "Richards" in the field, each fighting the other, and both fighting the Democrats. Although tv. nrtnti is now exceedingly warm, we hope before the day oi election matters will be compromised, and all freedom-loving citizens have but one candidate to support, and thus, without a douU. secure . . . . . compiew ana easy notory. The Difference. For the past two years the Detuooratto party has been clamoring for the immediate admis sion into the Union of the lata Rebel States. The country has been wearied with its impor tunity. Now, however, that party is begin ning to sing a different tune. It has suddenly lost all desire to see these States admitted. Indeed, its chief fear seems to be that they will be admitted. It now urges them to stay out of the Union. Military "despotism" is prefer able to admission. They must stay out, and wait for a "Northern reaotion." What is the seoret of this sudden change of front f Simply this, that when the Democrats were so clamorous for the admission of the Rebel States, it was because the President had so "cooked np" matters that they were sure to come in with the old Rebel Demooratio ele ment in full power. Now, however, under the Congressional plan of reconstruction, the people have some voloe in the matter, and they are likely to come in with the Union ele ment in power. That is the difference. When the Democrats thought their parly would make something by having the Rebel States admit ted, they were furious for admission. Now, when they think their party will be likely to lose by it, they are as bitterly opposed to ad mission. Considerations of right, justice, Bound statesmanship, the pacification of the country, and the maintenance of the Constitu tion, have had no weight with them in either case. It is simply to them a question of party power. The Coming of Charles Dickens. A if agent of Mr. Dickens has arrived in New York to make preparations for the arrival of his principal in this country, and arrange for a series of lectures and readings to be delivered by the illustrious novelist. In view of the experience of the past visit of the author of "Pickwick Papers," and the manner in which he reoiprocated the courtesies showered upon him by the American people, the question naturally arises, How shall he be received ? When some twenty years ago he was amongst us, he was feted and feasted without stint. He was lionized and idolized. Hospitality without measure and without price was lavished upon him, and he aocepted all the offers of friendship given him by our people. He returned to Great Britain, and how did he requite our courtesy ? Let the readers of the "American Notes" and "Martin Chuzzlewit" bear witness. He sneered at and ridiculed all he saw. He turned our very hospitality into contempt, and requited it with picturing us as a race of "toadies." Under these circumstances, it is hardly necessary for us to say that we most earnestly hope that the American people will not forget what is due to themselves, and fall down and worship Mr. Dickens. We would have him treated with politeness. All rudeness is to be carefully avoided. But we do not desire to see the same scenes repeated, and we again be exposed to his pen. What he has written is the best evidence of how he esteems those who are so anxious to make him a demi god. None but the flunkey and sycophant will act in such a way as to have another por trait gallery such as that manufactured in the chapters of "Martin Chuzzlewit." Potato Fields in Europe.

ToaU those who delight la unravelling toys' terlcs, and who oaa always asstga some cau lor tbe many aud varied freaks of nature, we invite a careful perusal of tbe following cow. munlcallon ; No. 239 Richmond Strbet, Philadelphia. Pa.. July 23, 1867.) L. Q. C. Wibhart, M. D. Dear Bin In consideration of the great benefit my child derived from the use of your "Worm Sugar Drops," i deem It my duty to give you this testimonial, feeling that I will be doing bat an act of Justice to you as well as to the public. For about three months prior to June 9, 18G7, my child, who Is in his sixth year, had been a great portion of the time quite unwell, and latterly we could perceive that he was gra dually losing flesh and wasting away, so that he was but a sketeton of his former self. Fears were entertained by myself aud wife that he would never regain his former health. His disposition, whloh formerly was very good, was now muoh changed. Re was restless, cross' and fretful, and was muoh given to suddenly starting, crying out, and gnashing his teetb. while asleep. His appetite was very Irregular indeed; at times be would eat voraciously, which appeared to relieve him for the time being; and then there were times when he wouldn't eat scarcely anything. He would occasionally be taken very sick at the stomach, which was usually followed by a severe fit of vomiting. A greater portion of this time he was under medical treatment, I having em ployed several of the best and most eminent physicians In this city, whloh availed nothing. I also tried a number of Vermifuges and Worm Confections, thinking that he might possibly be afflicted with worms, all of which did no good. On Sunday morning, June 9, 1807, he was taken violently sick at the stomach, whloh, as usual, was soon followed by a severe tit of vomiting and a constant disposition of the bowels to act, but with no success. Becoming alarmed, I Immediately called upon Dr. O. W. Vaughn (druggist;, corner of Richmond and Sbaokamaxon streets, and, after explaining to him the child's symptoms, he remarked that, Is his opinion, the child had Worms, aud ad vised me to purchase a box of Dr. Wisbart's Worm Sugar Drops, which I accordingly did, and the result that followed after administering them was truly wonderful In tbe extreme, and will furnish a theme for naturalists and the medical faculty to Investigate and discuss for some time to oome. The box contiiiued (21) twenty-four Sugar Drops, and upon examination I ascertained that they were free from the unpleasant taste and smell that almost all of the worm prepara tions now In geueral use possess. I gave him (4) four of tbe Sugar Drops about an hour before each meal on Sunday and Monday, June 9 aud 10 Inclusive. On Tuesday evening, June 11, the child with much difficulty passed an enormous Worm (14) fourteeu Inches in length, and about as thick as the first or Index finger of a grown person, and still larger In the centre. Upon examining the monster, and holding It up to tbe gas-light, I noticed that Its stomach was covered with a thin and almost transparent skin for the space of (4) four or (5) five Indies, exposing to my view a mass of what appeared to be Worms struggling and working among each other ! My wile out open the Worm, and, strange and mysterious as It may appear, the took therefrom (14) fourteen living Worms ! One of tbe number was a genuine bona fide Tapeworm, and when abstracted from its living tomb was colled up in a singular manner.
