The President al Campaign General
li ant.
Tbrrb are many Indloationa that tlie Presiden
tial campaign ia about to become enlivened
by the strenuous and active exertions of the
partisans on both aides. The Republicans are
beginning to realize that, notwithstanding the
deserved popularity of their candidates, the
justice of their caase, and the objeotionable
character of the principles, the platform, and
the avowed objects of the Democratic party, It
will be at least prudent, if not neoes3ary, to
make an earnest effort to achieve the great poli
tical victory demanded by the highest interests
of the nation. The defeat of the Democracy
in all important political contests has beoome
80 much a matter of course, in reoent years
that there was for a time some danger that
many patriotio men would deem their indi
vidual exertion unnecessary to swell the
volume of a triumphant majority over an
organization fore-doomed to defeat. While
there is no good cause for fear of the result, it
i vain to expeot that Republican apathy can
contend successfully against Demooratio ac
tivity, or that any party, however strong in
numbers, can permanently retain power in
this country if it fails to urge its claim) to
popular support earnestly, vigorously, and !
constantly.
The Republicans possess an immense ad
vantage in their Presidential nominee. If no
parties had ever existed, any man who had
rendered such services as have signalized the
brilliant career of General Grant, would be
come the unanimous choice of the Electoral
College. It is a cheering and an encouraging
fact that his two great military predecessors,
Washington and Jackson, were soaroely Ijss
distinguished for their civil than their warlike
Services, and that they stand foremost on the
roll of Amerioan Presidents for popularity and
usefulness. Like Grant, they were both men
of action rather than of words, making no
oratorical displays, but possessing, like our
modern hero, infiuitely superior powers in
their correct judgment and wonderful execu
tive oapaoity.
The leading features in General Grant's ca
reer are universally known. lie rose fr?m an
obscure position in which he learned the real
wants and sentiments of the people by sharing
their struggles and privations, and every step
of his advancement was manifoatljr daa to su
perior energy and capaoity displayed in trying
emergencies. His temporary retirement from
the army and struggles to gain a livelihood as
a farmer, wood-cutter or tanner, while they pro
voke the sneers of the aristooratio organs of
the Democracy, tend to endear him to the mass
of voters by the practical proof they afford of his
familiarity with their condition and necessities
lie cannot boast, like Seymour, of a long line
of luxurious ancestors, but his experi
ences combine the most arduous, varied,
and perilous military servioe at frontier posts,
in Mexioo, and in every form of attack aga'rm
the Rebellion, with an arduous struggle against
adverse fortune in the battle of life as a civilian,
as well as the severe training in political
affairs which necessarily resulted from his
position during the last three years at Wash
ington, while the reconstruction policy of the
nation was being established. Tried in many
novel emergencies he has never been fouui
wanting, and it is not wonderful that his ex
traordinary personal qualities and achieve
ments won for him not only the proud tribute
of a unanimous nomination by the dominant
party of the country but repeated indications
en the part of the Demooraoy that they would
gladly have made him their standard-bearer,
if he had been willing to accept that question
able honor.
While the general features of his unparal
leled career are well known, the war was so
pregnant with great events that the people
have soaroely yet had time to fully compre
hend in detail the many difficulties he sur
mounted and the extraordinary qualities he
displayed. As they are gradually brought to
light by the researches of his biographers,
thousands of interesting incidents are related
which, although each may be of comparative
insigulfloanoe in itself, shed, in the aggregate,
new lustre upon the brilliancy of his fame.
Proofs are multiplied that he rises far absve
the class of accidental celebrities; and that his
repeated suooesses are due to his inherent
greatness, and to the sagacious and indomita
ble spirit that is the master, instead of the orea
ture of olroumstanoes. lie won victories where
other Generals would have been overwhelmed
by disgraceful defeats, and aiming throughout
at great results, he achieved them despite of
difficulties which more timid spirits would
have deemed insurmountable. Ilia calm, wise,
dauntless spirit has been displayed in an equal
degree, and in a manner soaroely less service
able to the country ainoe the surrender of
Lee's army, not only by the conditions im
posed upon the defeated Rebel oohorts, but by
the orders issued in reference to reoonstr no
tion, by recommendations to Congress, anl by
the temporary management of the office of the
War Department. "I want a hero, no un
common want," sang Lord Byron. The
American people have in General Grant one
whom they may well delight to honor, and
one whose highest ambiton is to promote the
welfare of the country he has so woll served
Victor Hcoo, it would appear from a com
munication to a New York weekly papor
written by "the most respectful of his sons,"
is in a quandary. He Is . now engaged on th
last chapters of a new novel, whloh he expeot
to complete soon; and yet, with all his inge
unity, he is nnable to devise a striking title.
He Is halting between "The Man who
Laughs," and "By Order of the King," th
first of whloh is regarded by "the most re
spectful of eons" as the most philosophical,
the eeoond as the most dramatlo the first a
giving the best idea of the book, the seoond a
the best resume of its action. Now, it appear
to us that there is an easy and natural solu
tion of this dilemma; so easy and natural, in
trntb, that we are by no means surprised that
it has not suggested itself to either Victor
Hugo himself or "the most respectful of hU
sons." Let the author of Lt Miieiables and
Les IravailUurs de la Mer style his new ro
mance V Homme qui Hit par Urdre dtt lloi
"The Man who Laughs by Order of the King"
and be will have a title which is both dra
matic and philosophical, which includes both
a good idea of the book and a capital resume
of its action.
Icarus. A number of American yaohtmen
went over to Europe and challenged all the
world to race their yacht Sappho. They flang
down the gauntlet to all creation, and waited
for some one to take it up. They did not have
to wait long. A number came forward. Three
English clubs accepted the challenge, and the
race came off yesterday. The sequel will not
cause ecstatio joy on this side of the waters-
The Sappho came in last of all, being beaten
by all of its competitors. We really cannot
help but think that before Icarus tries to fly
he had better be sure of his wings. It was
undoubtedly bombastio to issue such a chal
lenge as did the owners of the Sappho, and as
long as such arrant bravado is displayed we
do not feel much sympathy for the defeated.
There is certainly too much of the spread
eagle in the manner which some Americans
adopt when abroad.
TUE EQUALITY OF SECESSION AND COERCION.
Mr. Seymour said, at Tweedle Hall, in
Albany, in a speech delivered by him,
that "successful coercion by the North" was
no less revolutionary "than successful seces
sion by the South." These are the sentiments
of the man whom we are called upon to trust
with the rudder of the ship of State, with the
almost absolute despotism of the national life
Suppose, holding as he does these views, the
South should attempt to incite another Rebel
lion a supposition, alas I too probable and
Seymour should be President, where would
our nation be f It were better to have Mr.
Buchanan at the helm in such an emergency
.than to give it into the hands of one who de
clares such atrocious doctrines.
Swoen In. Yesterday, before a United
States Commissioner, Hon. John P. O'Neill
was sworn in as United States District Attorney
for Eastern Pennsylvania. By going before a
Commleblouer and not before Judge Caii
walader, we suppose that Mr. O'Neill has
avoided all the little unpleasantness which
would have ensued had the Judge deemed it
prudent to continue his refusal. It is said
that Mr. Gilpin does not recognize the pro
priety of the appointment of his successor,
and will refuse to surrender the office. What
will be the issue we cannot tell, but it is of
interest to know who will proseoute the
fraudulent distillers meanwhile both the Dis
trict Attorneys or neither?
The Puosi'ect in Indiana. Qeneral Carl
Schuiz has flulaned his tour In Indiana. He
gives a very encouraging account of things
there. In the close and Democratic counties
and districts, our friends are thoroughly alive
and hard at work, and are every where gilnlog.
The strong Republican counties and districts
ere less fully aroused, aud, assured of success
In their looal tickets, they do not yet feel the
Importance of swelling the majority for the
State ticket as far as possible, but he believes
that this over confidence will be supplanted by
thorough and determined zeal as the last month
of the canvass opens. The large gains, already
apparent, give strong ground for belief that
the Slate can be carried by faithful effort.
The Catholic Papjcks whloh speak of the
sectarianism of the Republican party, seem to
forget that two of the most Important diplo
matic appointments recently confirmed by the
Republican Benate were Roman Catholics.
These were the appointments of General Rose
crans, as Minister to Mexico, and Qeneral
MoMahon as Minister to Paraguay.
Peeciselv. Said the New York World.
"There Is as muob conviction of a Demooratio
victory In November, as there was oonvlollon
of rain In the time of Noah and the Ark." In
response to whloh says the New York Times:
"We believe It was the conviction of people in
the time of Noah and the Ark that there wai
not going to be any rain of any consequence."
The Railways of India. From recently
published statistics of the Indian railways it
at pears that last year they yielded a net
revenue of $11,083,000. The total guarantee or
tte British Government Is S16.18U.G85, but as
the companies paid $12,500,000, only about
83,500,000 was paid by the Government.

Blanche Gallon, nieces of Louisa Pyne; Mr .
Busan Pjne Gallon, a sister of Miss Pyn-; Mr.
Charles Wnifflln, twnor, and Mr. Cox, baritone.

Tiik Otrba abroad. We are told by some
French papers that Mad'lle Nilsson has de
manded of M. Perrin, as tbe conditions of a re.
newal of ber engagement, 180.000r., and three
months' leave or conge. Tbe English papers
hope Mad'lle Nilsson may get the money and
tbe leave especially the leave.
The operatic season In Paris opens soon at
the Imperial Opt-M, Mau'ile Nilsson and Faure
being the chief attractions. Toe probability oi
Niit-son's coming to tbe United Biates this sea
son aretht-reby rendered Indefinitely small. Mr.
Maple-on bad alB3 been negotiating with Mrs
Van Zandt, the accomplished daughter of Big
nor lill'z, of this city, for in Amerioan tour. He
has failed here likewise, as Mrs. Van Zindt
having just closed a highly successful engage
ment at Covent Garden, London, has almost
completed an arrangement to appear at the
Itallens In Paris, throughout the coming win
ter. Next mouth she hns several engagements
to sing at tbe Pbllbarmonlo concerts in Liver-
poo), Glasgow, and Newcastle.
Monglnl, the great tenor, who, It was hoped,
would visit America this season, goes to the La
Bcala, Milan, to fulfil a positive engagement.
Madame Trebelll, tbe contralto, will sing at
the Imperial Opera, St. Petersburg, wltb I'atti
the new Marquise de Caux, during the coming
season.
It is said that Maurice Strakosch intends to
organize a troupe with which he will visit
Berlin, Vienna, aud other Interior continental
cities.
Madame Uueymard Is to sing two months
In Madrid, for which condescension she is to
receive $8000 In gold.
The Fkench Opkra Bouffe. Grau, the In
defatigable, has deserted the classical drama
and followed Bateman into the realms of Opera
Bovffe. Under his direction tbe French Theatre
In New York Is undergoing extensive altera'
lions and Improvements, previous to Its open'
leg for tbe fall season. All the offices, walls
and winding stairways which formerly impeded
tbe entrance have been removed, and consider
able room gained thereby. Comparative safety
is also secured, as tbe entrance to the parquetie
and boxes will be directly from the street, and
tbe building can be emptied within four min
utes, In case of danger or panic Among otber
interior Improvements Is. the lengthening of the
stage by six feet; the widening of the boxes.
which are sixty six In number; and the addition
of seats, making Beating capacity for 1(190 per'
sons, wltb standing room for 500 others.
Tostee, who recently arrived in New York,
Is still recuperating from the effects of her dou
ble sea Journey. She will soon start on a
tour through the Interior, with Bateman's
auxiliary troupe, which, under the leadership ot
Mr. Leonard Grover, embraces, besides Mad'lle
Tostee, Mad'lle Rose, and Messrs. Deore, Leduo
and Guidon. After a tour through the Western
and Canadian cities, the troupe will return to
New York, to be merged in the company now

THE WICKED FLEA.
Last night a wicked little flea
Began to bite and bother me.
Unceremoniously he'd bite-
Then Jump away with ail his might,
And then with all his might and mala.
He'd Jump directly back again I
Ob : how his bites tormented met
The lively, poisonous Utile fleat
He Jumped about, so smart and fast,
And yet I caugat the flea at last t
Betwixt my finger and my tbnmb
I crushed him then his time was come t
I smashed his sides, sqaeetsd ont his breath.
And gently put the flea to death.
And so I slew the wicked flea.
That came to bite and bother me.
There are 91 more verses, much like the above, bo
we bave now pursued the matter far enough, andl
these will do far tbe present. The conclusion of th
thing Is, that all active mea ought to Jomp round a
