The na- tion, from centre to periphery, will find itself agitated by the cries of contending factions, the derce clamor of the party press, the biare of party watchwords, the roar of untvyorsal stump ora- tory, and the deluge of private and publie slander and of malignant vituperation, A few years work wonders, a8 weil iu the political as in the social and material character of this repnbitc. They bring new Jaehions never dreamed of into universal patronage; they lit cites from the barren prairie, aud they cou- sign many @ poputar politician of to-day, with a name of househoid familiarity, to the profoundest depths of obscurity and forgeitulness. {t is thus that a few years with us measurea cycle of Cathay. Never- theless, in spite of the evident mutability of ail things American, ihe consiant and active fluctuation of political theories and of political reputations, the Prize now seid in the temporary possession of Gen- eral Grant absorbs the keen attention, long in ad- Vance of the struggle, of more than's few aspirants for ihe Presidency. That candidates for this distin. guished honor should be already in the fleld may to some minds appear an utierly premature aud unwise policy, but still it has the sanction of precedent, though it cannot be said to have the sanction of stuc- cess, Henry Clay was always in the field, but was always a failure too, Chief Justice Chase ia a tiving example of how jong & man may remain a candidate with impunity and stil cherish hopes of dnat trt- umph, For the next Presidency It would have been no extravagant prophecy to make a few short months ago that Grant, with nis blusiiag military honors and his anticipated tioom of civic glory, would have no diMculty in renewing his tenure of occupancy of the White House, Of course there 13 no controversy now ag to Grant, He is raled out of the cauvass in 1872 by ‘he voice of the party that yi him in power; but, as has been already intin , changes are apt to occur in the interim between now aud then that may place Grant's star stil! Mgherthan it has yet attained. A vigorous foreign policy, a wise domestic administration, may yet make him — the popular idol in the next ‘contest. Judging, how- ever, from present appearances, and wing out even Andrew Johnson's estimate — of the ability and scope of ideas possessed or our present Chict Magistrate, it is saie to con- clude that somebody eise besides the man that drew his splendid fame trom the Appomat:ox snple tree will exercise the fanctiong of execntive for the next term, This naturally brihga one to think over the question of who that lucky individual may happen tobe towhom the high honor will be accorded of placioag ins nine on the glittertog roti of United States Presidents. Foremost of the specujative can- didates stands Chief Justice Chase, whose right to tue sealor place upoa the list few will question. Then comes Vive Prosidcat Schuyler Col{ux, followed by General Winfield Scout Hancock, Governor Jolin ‘tr. Hoffman, Senater Roscoe Conkling, and perhaps, for another venture, George IT, Pendieton, of Ohio, ‘This number will do for the present. The popular instinet in urse of = 6time == will discover others, no’ avowed, por perhaps desirous contestants for the Presidential mantle, In mentioning the name of Geacral John A. Dix taore is no thougitt of iinking him with the foregetag, because that our late Minister to Pranve has given no Indication of seeking to enter the liste in iia formidable scraggie; yet, nevertheless, there ia a peculiar fitness in his record to entitle hin to attention at this parjicular junc- ture, when @ generat sinash ap of parties seems inevitable and when fossilized democracy and ullra-radicalism threaten to be engulied ina common grave. Out of the wreck thus to occur we may fairly expect to see a party arixe in which it wil not be considered heresy to believe that the abolition of stavery waa @ bicssing, the war for the Unton a legitimate undertaking and untversal am- nesty for political offences & wise and salutary measure. Thua vellec ing reporter of the Hikta.p dropped in yesterday after- noon to see General Dix, at his residence an beg ees street,+ to learn his views as woil on the pelitics of the country as iu reference to those we hold with Rurepean Powers, upon which it is fair to suppose the General should be adequately entitied to speak. ‘The Genera! seems to have come through the ordeal of making his countrymen tamiliar with the svorets of the Tutleries, and carrying ou an exten- sive correspondence with the imperial government OL Prseiee week dene Lerater FE we fete Department under the last administration with- out any trace of plysical or meutal wear and tear.

The extradition treaty and tue dispust. tion of ihe question concerning the Bordeaux wines -. in which the importers ab this side of the water were so Vilally interested, were avcomplished with more than the customory courtesy of international dipiomacy.
