A Prediction in Course of Veriflea.
tion
During the last presidential contest,
Gen. FRANK BLAIR made a speech in
which he prophesied that iffien.flaznir
was elected President of the United
Suites, ho would not leave tfie White
House nt the expiration of Ilia term of
office, butvThuld hold on, even if he
bad to use the army .to accomplish his
unholy purpose. This is not the
exact language need by him, but it he
the faith of what he said, and sums tip
in short the substance of a prediction
(lint seems very likely to be realized.
ilafddy an) body believed that Gen.
BLAIR tntnlit what he said, at the time;
the general opinion being that it was
all intended for political effect. The
Radicals Looted at the idea, and even
Denmeratm smiled quietly over what
they considered Gem "hifati
hale " Dot 4 . 1 . ar1c the sequel. No
sooner was President GRANT 1118ifliled
into the office than he surrounded
ritimelf with military officers. There
was a general at the entrance to the
White house, and one at its exit. A
general to conduct you to "the pres
ence" end one to show out out. Gen
erals Colonels, Majors here, there,
everywhere. The private secretary
was a military officer. , Citizens were
nowhere and the best and almost only
way to get to see the 'President was 11l
don a Military regalia 114/(1 go in on the
strength of "the army." In hie corn
munications to Congress the medium
of conveyance was a military officer,
and in every Jepartrnent about his
person soldiers were preferred to civil
ions. 'rims it commenced, and thus
low it coi,t hilted, until the White House
is now looked on more as a guarded
palace than as the residence of the
plain Chief Magistrate of a plain and
unpretentious people.
The employment of troops, too, to
control elcctions, is another evidence
of liassfr's desira and intention to
usurp forbidden powers. Unwilling
to trust the people, he has interfered
with the right of suffrage wherever an
opportunity has been given him, and
has all along acted with one end in
view, and that end the permanency of
his own personal and political power.
Ity the employment of officers and
soldiers to perform the duties hereto
fore performed by civilians, he has at
tempted to familiarize the people with
them, IT that the shock may not so
astonish and appal them when the
(Inv arrives fOr the aecompliediment,hy

It in very evident, from all that ham
occurred pollee OR OCTS election, that
(11:n, Hi.tlit understood the character
of the nit it he was talking about, and

Ire knew then, the eonstry is begin

the Prenolenen course hereafter. (I
BLAIR'S prophecy has been verified
thus far, It is reasonable to suppose
that it will hold out to the end. flow
ever, if worse conies to worst, the Dem
ocracy will have something to say in
the matter and, backed up by the
strong arms of the people in defence of
their rights and liberties, GRANT'S an:
ticipated usurpation may yet. result
only in ruin to hiviself and his all ire.
- WILLIAM, Of Primate, who war
red "net against the French people,

imperial crown of Germany. In other
words, he has made himself autocrat
and general tyrant over all the inde
pendent German towns and Staten, who
have given np their treedont for the
sake of that will o' the wisp, German
Unity. WILLIAM, king of Prueeia, le
now Lord over them all, and their pea
pie's necks are yoked to the car which

career of usurpation and blood.
The French Emperor has long been
overthrown and a prisoner. Yet the
war gore on. Paris, beautiful Paris,

but the sod of France lie daily soaks
with' the blood of that people against
whom he solemnly declared he did
not make war. This hoary-headed
monarch, who already has one foot in
the grave, will one (lay tremble before
the Great Judge of all the earth, when
required to render an neconnc for the
deeds done in his mortal,body.

congratulates itself, however, that there
are a few good men among them who
cannot be bought or sold. The mass
of them, it says, "are not of a kind to
please respectable people, or such as
will be likely to gain Philadelphia
murti strength with interior delegates
in the important business of making
State candidates."
This is a bad state of affairs for
Philadelphia, hut we trust there will
be enough "interior delegates" with
sufficient honesty and fearlessness to
overcome and control whatever of
roughness may be found in the convert
Lion from Philadelphia.
The bushiest' of the next Democratic
State Convention will be to select good
men, and we shall have them, in spite
of the unfortunate eelectione which our
Philadelphia friends appear to hate
made for delegates. "Parie is France,"

A nom who would not conic up to the

Senator Sprague would be one of the
foremost le having these mandates ex
ecuted. Now, how does it etand with
this man when the truth is brought lo
light? It is thus. During the. war,
he, through the Secretary of the Treat'
ory, his lather-in-law, would trade mu
nitions of war and articles necessary
to prolong the war, with the confeder
ales for cotton to be used in his large
cotton factories in the east. A resolu
tion is now up in congress to investi•
gate the matter. There is no scruple
as to its truth, rumors to that effect
having been prevalent long ago. But
the whole inevitigatian will prove a
mere white-washing concern, his im
