THE DAILY KVENINU TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1871, wiring dcgtapli SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1871. THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION. The qvidnvnci are already beginning to wonder who will be the next candidates for the Presidency, and partisan chiefs who un dertake to lead the public by the nose are already netting on foot various schemes to affect the future tenancy of the While House. It is generally understood that Grant is a candidate for the succession, although we are not aware that he has definitely announced this purpose, and it is commonly believed that he is gradually waking up to the necessity of displaying some sort of skill and judgment in his appointments and in his policy in further ance of Lis Presidential aspirations. The highest honors of the republio came to him in 18G3 as a reward for hia bril liant military services. No President since Washington made less effort to clutch them, and they were truly a free-will offering of a grateful people. Even at the present day there is a disposition in many quarters to regard his renomination as a matter of course, and no formidable com petitor for the Republican nomination has yet been put forward. But it is by r.o means certain, and. indeed, it is scarcely possible, in view of the growls and discontent in vari ous quarters, that Orant will be suffered to walk over the course in the next National Republican Convention. Although the anta gonism within the Republican patty has not yet taken definite shape, it gradually grows more and more formidable, and it will pro bably become well developed during the p esent session of Congress. One thing is painfully evident, that the av ailable strength of the Republican party is rapidly diminish ing. State after State wheels into the Democratic line; and if the tide is not quickly turned, the Democratic party will inevitably regain national ascen dancy. While they go on capturing one stronghold after the other politically revo lutionizing the South and making fearful in roads in the North Republican dissensions multiply, distracting new issues arise, the revenue reforms threaten a division in one quarter, the civil service men revolt in another, the advocates of free Cuba fight on one line, and the antagonists of St. Domingo nnlimber their batteries. Two years hence the controlling question in the Republican councils will be whether, in view of the con dition of things then existing, Grant will be the most available nominee; and the answer to this question will largely depend upon the future course of the administration. As matters stand now, it has made a consider able number of enemies too powerful to be despised, while it has not been specially suc cessful in clutching to itself, with hooks of steel, a very large proportion of the influen tial Republican politicians. Grant stands in no danger whatever of being Johnsonized or Tyleried, but he has incurred considerable risk of vigorous opposition in the next Re publican National Convention. The Democracy, excluded from power for ten long years, and conscious that their re peated defeats are due in a large measure to their own blunders, were never so vigilant, cautious, and prudent as at the present moment. A great deal of advoraity is at Inst infusing a little common sense into all their movements. Intensely anxious to win in 1872, and hopeful of success, they are at the same time deeply impressed with the neces sity of presenting to the American people a moderate platform and an available candidate. They will keep strict watch and ward over their extremists, guard carefully against new insults to the patriotic sentiment of the nation, fan skilfully all the embers of Re publican discontent, and, if it is possible, divide and conquer the victorious hosts of 1H4 and !S(i8. THE NATIONAL RAILWAY AND THE PARK. ArrKEUENfaioNa having been excited lest the park and the water works should be perma nently injured by the National, Railway, it is well that the public should know exactly what the plan of the railway company for crossing the park and the Schuylkill river really is. Drawings have just been completed which show the manner in which the company pro pose to cross the narrow part of the park just south of Lemon Hill, but previous to this no drawings had been made by any employe of the company showing any piers in the Schuyl kill, or any arrangement that would interfere in the least with the water works, and it is claimed that the protest from Chief Engineer Graeff read in Councils last week was based npon erroneous information. The plan which has now been matured is the sugges tion of the company in regard to what would be proper, but it is not intended as a finality, but is open to such amendments as those es pecially interested in preserving the integrity of the water works may propose. The idea is to cross the Sohuylkill npon' a bridge, the two supporting piers of which will be below the dam, and in suoh position as not to interfere in any way with the water works. On the east side the end of the bridge will rest npon a massive pier to be placed npon the water-line proposed by the Park Commissioners, near the entrance of the forebay; with a steamboat wharf attache 3.. The road will cross the level part of the park some twenty feet above grade, and ovtr the main drive will be a handsome viadaot that will be an addition to the attrac tions of the park rather than a detriment On leaving the park the road will pass under the Reading Railroad. ' Roth on the viaduct and on the road itself the tracks will be screened, so that it will be impossible to see the 'ocouiotive from below, and the tracks will be laid in such a manner as to deaden the sound of the passing trains and thus avoid any danger of alarming horses tint may be driven in the park. The ground on each tide of the track will be handsomely terraced, and in every repect care will be taken not only to prevent the railroad from being a nu'sance but to make it as far as possible a positive ornament. If the company carry but in good faith this plan, there cannot be any legitimate oauae for complaint againRt it. Of course it would be preferable not to have any railroads in the park, but such an immense tract of land cor tainly cannot be permitted to obstruot the approaches to the city, and to interfere with enterprises liko the National Rail road, that have such important relations to our prosperity. The Park Commissioners and the Water Department are perfectly right in exeroising a jealous care over the public property committed to their charge, and it is their duty to see that no railroad company injures the water works or defaces the park any more than is absolutely neoea Bary. The National Railroad Company, how ever, propose to bring their cars into the city by the shortest possible route, and to do bo with as little damage as possible to the public property. They are entitled to be met at least half way by the city, and the plan they have proposed for conducting their road across the park is certainly worthy of respectful consideration. THE NEWSBOYS 1I0ME. The Newsboys' Home, at No. f15 Locust street, has now been in operation a little more than a year, and the report of the Board of Managers, which we published yesterday, indicates that it is doing much for the moral as well as the material welfare of a class of boys who are well worthy of the philanthropic consideration of the public. The young news-venders who cry the daily papers about the streots are, as a rule, industrious, and they undoubtedly work hard to pick up a very precarious living. Their mode of life necessarily exposes them to great tempta tions, and many them beoome graduates in the school of crime, when by a little friendly care they might without diffioulty be trained ta become virtuo'us citizens. The fact that they do try hard to earn their' living entitles them to especial consideration, and such an institution as the Newsboys' Home, which undertakes to provide them, at a small price, with wholesome food and com fortable beds, and at the same time to give them at least the rudiments of an education as well as instruction in religion, should receive the liberal support of our citizens. It is obvious that an establishment of this kind can only be maintained by the generous contributions of the charitable; but the amount required to keep it in operation is so email in comparison with the great good to be effected that in a wealthy city like this there should be no difficulty whatever in raising it. The Newsboys' Home beiag now fully established and in prosperous operation, the Board of Managers, which is composed of some of our most respected citizens, feel justified in inviting the pnblio generally to call and inspect its internal economy, and in form themselves in regard to what is being done to promote the welfare of the news boys. We commend the institution to the favorable regards of our readers, and hope that many of them will be inclined to lend it a helping hand. The Northern Pacific IUilkoad Comp&kv'cI Right ok Way.
